SLIPKNOT mastermind Clown, aka Shawn Crahan says that late bass player Paul Gray will contribute to the band's next album. Check out details in the Artisan News report below:
Clown spoke with Jon Wiederhorn at SPIN.com recently who revealed that drummer Joey Jordison has written 30 new songs, vocalist Corey Taylor has penned lyrics, and guitarists Jim Root and Mick Thomson are busy writing riffs.
"That's how everyone is coping with the loss of Paul," Crahan surmises, "by writing. Will all of that stuff be used? No. Will some of it be used? Of course. But until we get to that area I can't tell anybody anything. It's like asking me who the next bass player is. I'm not gonna give you an answer 'cause I don't have to think about it right now. I need about a year to grieve get my shit together so I can control my emotions in the studio, which is something I can't do right now. I want to be able to go in there and realize my brother's not there. And then when I'm asked to do a part, I can control myself and give Paul, the band and the fans everything that Slipknot needs to be."
