Slipknot have just announced that they're bringing Knotfest back to the States for an extravaganza set to take place Oct. 24-26 in San Bernardino, Calif.
Want to see all of the top masked metal bands in one spot? So does Corey Taylor, who would like to get a Slipknot, Mushroomhead, Mudvayne tour together.
Slipknot are in the midst of working on a new album, and in an interview with Ultimate Guitar, frontman Corey Taylor gave a hint on the direction of the music, and also spoke about recording without the late Paul Gray and drummer Joey Jordison, who was recently let go from the band...
Taylor absorbed brutal humor from Slipknot's Shawn 'Clown' Crahan, Anthrax's Scott Ian, 'That Metal Show' hosts Don Jamieson + Jim Florentine and many others.
The night before Rock on the Range saw the Roast on the Range with Corey Taylor as the one getting roasted. It was a night of jabs, one-liners, and some awkward moments but Scott Ian of Anthrax shined when it was his time to take the state.
Update (5:45PM ET): This story has been amended with a statement from Stone Sour confirming that Jim Root is in fact no longer in the band.
Earlier this year, guitarist Jim Root sat out Stone Sour's tour with the reason given that he was concentrating his efforts on writing music for Slipknot's next album. However, now the band has announced that it has parted ways with Root.
A verdict has been reached in the involuntary manslaughter case involving Daniel Baldi, who was accused of recklessly prescribing medications to late Slipknot bassist Paul Gray and six other patients. After two counts of involuntary manslaughter were thrown out by the judge midway through the trial, Baldi has been acquitted of the remaining seven counts following a two-day deliberation by the jury
Slipknot had such an enjoyable time playing 2013's Ozzfest in Japan that they took a page out of the book and relocated Knotfest to Japan for 2014. The second staging of the Slipknot-organized event will take place Nov. 15 and 16 at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Tokyo and the first two acts joining Slipknot have been revealed.
