Paul Gray, bassist for Slipknot, and also known as #2 or “The Pig.” was found dead this morning in a TownPlace Suites hotel room by one of the employees.

That first album was so incredible. The drums were heavy, the vocals were menacing, and every song made you want to leap up and punch somebody in the face. It was fantastic.

In honor of Paul, I leave you with this video, one of my favorite Slipknot songs:
