Corey Taylor Staying Positive

  Corey Taylor has opened up to NME about the death of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray. Corey says he's taken inspiration from Vinnie Paul, who's brother Darrel "Dimebag" Abbott, was shot and killed on stage while playing a gig in Dcember of 2004. Taylor says he's focusing more on life than on death as a way of getting through the loss of Gray. He said "In their spirit we should continue, I've never seen a guy who loves playing as much as Paulie, and who gave so much". The good news for Slipknot fans is that the band has some European dates on the books for next summer.
