BUCKCHERRY Frontman Pays Tribute To Fallen SLIPKNOT Bassist

May 27, 2010

BUCKCHERRY frontman Josh Todd has issued the following statement on the tragic death of SLIPKNOT bassist Paul Gray, who passed away on Monday, May 24th.

"Everyone knows I'm a huge SLIPKNOT fan, and although I didn't know Paul Gray personally, I am very sad about this news.

"Every great band starts with a great rhythm section. Paul and Joey [Jordison] are like a rapid-fire machine gun to the chest, and I felt Paul's passion and intensity every time he stepped on stage.

"SLIPKNOT is not just a band, they're a gang — and that's why I believed, just like millions of others, that Paul was a huge part of that, and he will be very missed."
