Slipknot man on mask frustration

Slipknot frontman is spending some time with his original band Stone Sour, though he denies he has quit the Roadrunner signed band, despite some frustrations with the way things have been going. "There's a lot of negativity in the Slipknot camp right now that is hard to get past,” he told Aussey music site Undercover. "So much pressure has been put on us just from a mask stand point that it is hard to even think about the music anymore because with so many people it is just about the masks. One of the driving points for me to come back and do Stone Sour is because I just want to burn all that down. The masks were never meant to be the issue. The issue is supposed to be the music and it was. And it is to us. So many people, that's all they care about anymore. It has really become a negative thing. There's a lot of stuff on the Slipknot agenda that we have to work on before we get back together. But when we do, man, it's going to be pivotal. It's going to be huge".
