Slipknot is currently geared up to play a string of festival shows, and according to singer Corey Taylor, these shows will help him decide if Slipknot will continue after the death of bass player Paul Gray. Taylor tells Daily Express "There's a part of me that's ready and there's a part of me that's not. 

"I have a lot of trepidation about it. I don't know how to feel. I know a lot of the guys in the band are trying not to show that side, and I can't.

“Without Paul Gray, there would have been no Slipknot, and I mean that sincerely... It's strange for me to think about the future of Slipknot without him. This tour coming up is definitely going to be like baby steps... It's going to be a long time before I feel OK about it. I'm not saying that I'm not open to it. I'm just saying that I'm not there yet, and I don't know how long it's going to take me to get there. So we're just going to have to see what happens. Only time will tell.”
