According to the news (my friends mom told me, she noticed my Slipknot shirt) and she said ''Audrey, Slipknot's splitting up.'' I freaked out, left their house, ran home turn my TV on and watched ever single news coverage I could find. None of them had it, so I turned to the computer and I looked here first, it didn't say anything, so I was looking harderand I found this; http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1644804/20100730/slipknot.jhtml ''Slipknot Are Divided Over Future Without Bassist Paul Gray''. The one part in that thing that hit me the most was "There will be no other bass players besides Jim [Root], Mick [Thomson] and me, more than likely," Jordison said. "Everyone actually kind of plays guitar in the band, so I think we're all gonna play bass on the record. We're not gonna have anyone come in. But live, we'll deal with that when it comes." I'm... sorta glad they refuse to replace Gray...
Then I decided to look on Wikipedia, I STILL didn't believe that they we on hiatus, even after everything I read. But, of course, to my dis-belief, it was true. They are on hiatus. ''Years active 1995 (1995)–present (on hiatus)''
I really just want Slipknot to continue as an eight, who cares if it's not the nine at least you wont be doing something that you're going to regret, disappoint your fans...
Another one of my favourite bands is splitting this year, I really don't want to see Slipknot disband!!!
