ANTHRAX Guitarist: PAUL GRAY 'Was Always Super-Fun To Be Around'

May 27, 2010

ANTHRAX guitarist Scott Ian, who spent time rehearsing with Paul Gray in 2005 for the "Roadrunner United: All Stars" tribute concert to celebrate Roadrunner Records' 25th anniversary, released the following statement to AOL's Noisecreep about the passing of the SLIPKNOT bassist:

"Paul Gray was always super-fun to be around. He was always smiling and he was always all about the music."

"He and I were the main rhythm player and bass player for that band. I got to spend a lot of time with him just jamming, which is what we both loved to do. We'd just get such a kick out of learning riffs. It was always all about the music. He just seemed like he was really that dude who just loved to play his instrument. I'm really gonna miss him."

Gray co-founded SLIPKNOT with percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan in 1992 and was one of the main songwriters of the band.
