SLIPKNOT's SID WILSON Talks About New Solo Project On Iowa's LAZER 103.3

July 19, 2010

On July 16, SLIPKNOT DJ Sid Wilson (a.k.a. DJ Starscream) was interviewed by Andy Hall of the Des Moines, Iowa radio station Lazer 103.3. Watch the chat in two parts below.

Wilson (MySpace page) recently announced plans to release a "solo" album with his new project , simply called SID. He said, "I am the frontman [for SID] and have a band backing me with guitarist 9 Ballz, drummer Big Mike, the DJ 'A-Roc Impossible', and hype and back-up vocals by Jamazz."

SID will perform on August 26 at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa. Opening the show will be BLUE FELIX and UNVISIONED. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 day of show and are available through Ticketmaster.

SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR guitarist Jim Root said an interview at the Sonisphere festival web site that a "healing process" needs to take place before SLIPKNOT decides how to move forward following the death in May of bassist Paul Gray. Root said, "I'm not sure what we are going to do. We haven't talked about anything we're going to do. We've got some things to think about so right now we are just going to not think about them . . . There's going to be a big healing process that needs to happen before we even think about whether or not SLIPKNOT will continue. And right now that's the furthest thing from our mind. Right now we are just grieving or trying to find time to grieve anyway for the fact that our bro's gone."

Root and SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor are on the road now with STONE SOUR, whose new album, "Audio Secrecy", arrives on September 7.

Root said that it will be "probably two years at least" before SLIPKNOT begins to think about its future, with STONE SOUR gearing up for 18 months of touring behind the new record.

The 38-year-old Gray's body was found on May 24 by a maintenance worker in a suburban hotel room outside Des Moines, Iowa. A needle and pills were found near his body.

A medical examiner recently ruled that Gray died of an accidental overdose of morphine and a synthetic form of morphine called fentanyl. Gray also apparently suffered from "significant" heart disease.
