Since forming in 1999, Slipknot have famously boasted a large lineup — almost always consisting of nine members. While there have been significant changes through the years, one member who seems irreplaceable is frontman Corey Taylor — or maybe not?
Bassist Paul Gray tragically died in 2010, while drummer Joey Jordison (who would later pass away in 2021) parted ways with the band in 2013. In recent years, percussionist Chris Fehn and keyboardist Craig Jones were let go from the masked metal act. Each time, Slipknot have found a replacement and persevered as a band.
In a new interview with Rock Antenne (watch below), Corey Taylor discussed the future of Slipknot and what it would look like if other longtime members, including himself, decided to step away.
Speaking hypothetically, Taylor suggested that if he were to retire from Slipknot, he would gladly seek out his own replacement. Of course, such a scenario would only unfold if...

Slipknot announced have parted ways with keyboardist Craig Jones, who had been a member of the band since 1996. The masked metal outfit gave no reason for the split in a social media post that was almost immediately taken down, but quickly debuted a new member at their European tour kickoff on Wednesday night (June 7th) at the Nova Rock festival in Austria.
The note posted on Slipknot’s social media pages on Wednesday, June 7th (before it was deleted) stated, “To our fans, Slipknot is announcing that we have parted ways with Craig Jones. We wish Jones all the best for the future.”
Shortly after sharing the news of Jones’ exit, the band took the stage in Austria with a new mystery member, whose masked image they shared on their social pages. On Thursday morning (June 8th), the band also shared a eerie video with a “Slipknot” backdrop in the background.

Every week, IndieWire asks a select handful of film critics two questions and publishes the results on Monday.
Last week saw the surprise (or at least short notice) release of Paul Thomas Anderson’s “Anima,” a 15-minute “one-reeler” that serves as a glorified and glorious music video for three of the tracks on Thom Yorke’s new solo album.
This week’s question: What is the best music video of the 21st century?
“Bad Cover Version” (Pulp)

The music video for Pulp’s 2001 track “Bad Cover Version” is unorthodox in several respects, but mainly one pretty significant one: rather than using the album vocals provided by frontman Jarvis Cocker for this song of lackluster imitators—be they new romantic partners or “a later Tom & Jerry when the two of them could talk”—the song is here performed by a cavalcade of professional imitators...

On September 28, Slipknot will release "(Sic)nesses," a two-disc DVD. The set features the band's entire June 2009 performance at the Download Festival in the U.K., a 45-minute film directed by percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan and all four videos released from their chart-topping 2008 album, All Hope Is Gone.
And while all of that is certainly enough to excite their fans, what's also notable about "(Sic)nesses" is that it's the first Slipknot release of any sort since the passing of founding bassist Paul Gray, who was found dead in an Iowa hotel room on May 24 after an "accidental" overdose of morphine and fentanyl. Somewhat accordingly, Slipknot are using "(Sic)nesses" to once again pay tribute to Gray, dedicating the DVD to...

On Monday we lost "The Pig," bassist for the band Slipknot, of which he was a founding member. The heavy metal musician, whose real name is Paul Gray, was found dead at the age of 38 in a hotel room in Iowa, and as of this writing the cause of death is unknown. He tragically leaves behind a wife, who is pregnant with their first child.
Being that they're such a theatrical group, it's surprising that Slipknot hasn't appeared in more films, but there are two of note. One is the 2002 remake of Rollerball, in which they appear onscreen performing the song "I Am Hated," while current internet sensation Chris Klein hangs out with LL Cool J at a club -- by the way, Lost's Naveen Andrews also co-stars in the movie, if you need more Sayid after the show's finale. One of my favorite questions asked about the band's...

“You can’t consider yourself a hardcore kid or a metalhead without owning a Roadrunner album.” - Jamey Jasta, Hatebreed.
In 2004, Cees Wessels, founder and owner of Roadrunner Records, approached longtime A&R chief Monte Conner about creating a project and event to celebrate the 25th Anniversary of the label. Roadrunner had humble beginnings, launching in 1980 under the name Roadracer, as an Amsterdam-based importer of U.S. metal albums to be repackaged for a European audience. Over the course of the two and a half decades that would follow, Roadrunner would evolve into one of the most respected outlets for metal and hard rock on a Global scale.
After launching the careers of bands such as Sepultura, Deicide, Slipknot, Mercyful Fate, Obituary, and Fear Factory, horror fans would soon feel the direct effect of the label. Long providing tracks for numerous films over the years, Roadrunner entered the Soundtrack realm...
