I'm a bit sad. I'm a maggot and Paul was a cool bass player. The metal world is having a hard time this year. So far 2010 has claimed the rev, pete Steele, dio, and now paul. I think all other bands should take a break and wrap up in cotton wool until January.

On a more heartless note I can't help but hope that this might bring out some better songwritting in the remaining slipknot camp. Their albums have been getting steadily worse and despite Paul being a key writer, perhaps this might reinfuse the group with some of the ferocious insanity that made their debut so good.
