Slipknot not recording new album
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 3 December 2010
I think all the members of Slipknot need to have a meeting to decide what they’re doing. Or at the very least, drummer Joey Jordison needs to be banned from speaking, as it seems to be him who keeps saying things that are later denied. As previously reported, Jordison told Billboard this week that the band are currently at work on their first album since the death of bassist Paul Gray in May.
He said: “It’s already in motion. It’s definitely exciting. It’s a little emotional, of course, but I think it’s going to be really, really cool and I think it’s gonna be a really, really great record because everyone’s really involved in the process. It’s going to be a little interesting, but I think it’s gonna be a healing process for all of us. Slipknot is not going anywhere. We’re a family, and losing a family member sucks. You can’t help that, but you need to move on, and I think that what we’re gonna do might be the most powerful thing that we’ve ever created”.
However, frontman Corey Taylor said via Twitter yesterday: “Before anyone gets the wrong idea, let me be clear. I have NO PLANS to make a new Slipknot album any time soon. Shows? Maybe. Album? No. As for Joey’s comments, he took that on himself to say that in print. I can think of five people in this band who haven’t written/heard a thing”.
