Slipknot have released a 10-minute tribute video on the late Paul Gray. Corey Taylor says of Paul:

“He was everything that was wonderful about this band and about this group of people. The only way I can sum up Paul Gray is ‘love.’ Everything he did, he did for everyone around him whether he knew you or not … and that’s what he’s left behind for us: absolute love. I will miss him with every fiber of my heart, as will everybody at this table and everyone who knew him. He was the best of us.”

Paul Gay, the bassist for Slipknot, was found today in an Iowa hotel early this morning. The DesMoinesRegister says they don’t see any foul play but will know more tomorrow when they do the toxicology test.
