Just read that they are going back in the studio to record a new album for a 2013 release. I haven't listened to them a whole lot since All Hope is Gone came out, but let's see how this goes.

I like their pop songs/singles (Wait and Bleed, Left Behind, Before I Forget etc), can't sit through their albums.
I'm surprised they're even still going. Corey Taylor's been acting like he's had one foot out the door for like two years now.
Yeah, and between all nine of them (now eight ) the process of making an album has always been such a struggle, if the press interviews are any indication. None of them ever seem to agree on anything, you'll constantly read opposing views from Joey and Corey from various media outlets.
But if this is true, then awesome!! I'm used to long waits with these guys, so I guess I can make it to 2013.
I really want another Vol.3 to be honest. Love that album.
I'll believe it when Corey Taylor says it's happening. Clown and Joey were saying all last year that Slipknot were going back into the studio, but Corey has always said he wasn't sure, and as far as I know, hasn't changed his tune. Between the death of Paul and him saying he wasn't as interested in that style of music anymore, until it comes from him, I won't believe anything.
I like Stone Sour quite a bit, so the delay is no skin off my ass, but I'd love another Slipknot album as well.
I love slipknot, not as hardcore as back when I was 17 in 99. But still love them.
Hopefully this next album will be a bit heavier.
also, i think im the only person who really liked their last record. the first song especially, is plenty heavy, epic and dark.
I liked all hope is gone. But pretty much after butchers hook I skip till the title track. Snuff is amazing.
Gematria is an awesome track. I liked All Hope Is Gone alright. I dismissed Snuff for awhile until the video came out. Now it's one of my favorites.

I didn't really like it; not much of it stuck to the wall. I also heard they don't play much of it live. But I liked it ok. Gematria is sick* (IMO among their best and definitely on the level of the first two records), and a couple others like This Cold Black and Vendetta are sufficiently pummeling enough to conjure up some of the old Slipknot spirit. I even liked the ballads (which they caught a lot of flak for on Vol. 3) - Dead Memories and Snuff are great songs.
Okay, talking about it actually made me want to listen to it again... this usually never happens with All Hope Is Gone. Well done?
* or (sic), teehee (requisite "diehard maggot/total nerd" comment)
haha.
They def. didn't focus on it at all on tour. im not sure why...i guess they didnt like it very much either. i like almost every song. the softer stuff is really heartfelt and handled well. I dont need Slipknot to destroy my face on every song, although I love all that stuff too (Iowa is just so unrelenting).
Pictures from the show in Auburn WA (July 3 2012), part of the Mayhem Festival. In the set you'll also see photos of Motörhead and Slayer, from that same festival:

Is Donnie Steele forced to play behind the curtain/out of view, or is it his choice?
Technically Donnie isn't a permanent member. These tours are celebrating Gray. They will get to it when the time comes according to Corey and clown.
I think Donnie should be the next bass player, keep it in the circle.
There is no acceptable reason to have musicians play offstage, whatever "the clown" says. It's lame when Korn does it, and it's lame when Slipknot does it too.
I agree. I see why they are doing it, but it is kind of a big slap in the face and pretty degrading if he agrees with it or not.
Haha whether its unfair on the musicians or not but most bands you see live have additional musicians offstage, its a regularly used trick to thicken out the sound whether it be keyboard players or an additional guitarist. Just the nature of the game at the top level! May not be the exact same situation but thought it was worth noting...
I like that they're doing that in honor of Paul, because they were always big on all nine of them being a family. When you think about it, it must've been really hard to constantly be with eight other people - in a tour bus, backstage, in dressing rooms, hotels, going out to eat, etc. They must've had (and still probably have) a really close and unique bond with each other. So it makes sense that they don't want Donnie onstage. If he's cool with that, cool - if he's not, they could always get someone else who is.
NEW Stone Sour album is kick ass...
It leaked? Or you just going off by previews?
stream it here http://www.nme.com/news/stone-sour/66685
man, they're playing here on Dec 2th, but fucking Papa Roach is opening for them... and as I am not as sold on Stone Sour as I'd be on Slipknot I don't know if it's worth it. Gonna wait from some setlists to pop up and then I will decide. Some Corey Taylor to finish off this year would be damn great, but hmm...
So far I'm digging it.
Downloading now. It would cool to hear some old Papa Roach just for nostalgia purposes, but their last 3 albums have been terrible.
Edit: Man the opening song is a nice surprise. Corey's voice is so dam good and it sounds great so far.

I love Corey's voice. It's a wonder he hasn't wrecked it with years of enthusiastic Cookie Monster impressions.
