Check out this new audio interview with Roy Mayorga, in which he talks about his time in Stone Sour and Soulfly, The Nightmare After Christmas tour with Avenged Sevenfold, Hollywood Undead and New Medicine, what life is like on the road, and many other things.
Artisan News Service has uploaded its entire December 2010 interview with Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor in which he talked about the inspiration behind his Christmas single, “XM@$”; what Christmas was like as a kid; what Christmas is like now; his lyrics of drinking knowing he’s had alcohol abuse issues; bonding with Avenged Sevenfold for the Nightmare After Christmas tour; his book “Seven Deadly Sins”; how Stone Sour‘s latest album, “Audio Secrecy”, is different from what they’ve done in the past; their hit rock song “Say You’ll Haunt Me”; what inspired “Hesitate”; giving the fan clubs the kind of access that scares other bands; his ambivalence about touring with Slipknot this summer; having someone play bass for the late Paul Gray; former Pantera drummer Vinnie Paul Abott’s advice to him; making another album with Slipknot; miscommunication with the other members of the band; and the anniversary of “Iowa”.
I suggest you first watch part 3, because that’s where he talks about Paul Gray and other Slipknot related stuff.
