Slipknot - Paul Gray Behind The Player - Duality - Jam with Roy Mayorga

[@richarddutchholland4780]

Bass and drum.... the backbone of every song

[@saintpoli6800]

Richard Jones Drums keep tempo and time, while bass gives the “reverb”/thickness of the guitars... Both are quite under appreciated

[@orbalturner6747]

Spot oM man

[@Jaysin2JR]

I miss when slipknot put more of an emphasis on drums and bass 😭

[@mackin26]

Damn right, get sa great rhythm section and you can do anything.

[@bussin9913]

the back seat to every song* but heck no, drums in metal are up there with the guitars, and poor bass has no place.

[@tony.guitarplayer]

I love Paul's bass tone. So solid and tight.

[@mikeyseney6570]

+Tony Serven If i only do one thing with my life, its to get his tone

[@tony.guitarplayer]

Add some overdrive pedal dude.

[@noahgriff2125]

Especially the higher notes

[@maxeisenberg1318]

Yes. Me too.

[@jakemartinez4176]

+Michaels Covers honestly just get some fresh strings and use a sansamp bass driver on the svt preset with the gain pushed a little more, most of this tone simply comes from how low he tunes and the fret buzz

[@MaxHohenstaufen]

Roy Mayorga is certainly one of the most underrated drummers in metal of all time

[@lmfap79]

missing 7 elements here and the song is still hard and solid as fuck. This is the work of a good bassplayer. RIP Paul

[@cupsbo2]

and a good drummer

[@michaelr.4878]

Amazing drummer, for sure. But Grey was not a great bass player. He got the job done. But come on guys, I could teach a non player how to play that in 20 minutes..just as long as they could remember where to put their fingers a few things. I did see him use an up stroke in this song, however. I'm sorry, but I am not going to pretend that he was this great player ,just because the dude died. He got the job done. But he was far from being a good player.

[@dattuna_]

Well Gray was technical not such a good bass player but he wrote many parts for bass and guitar. In my opinion he was a great songwriter.

[@affanafrizalgani9494]

DatTuna agree with you, I think creativity and skill is something different

[@juicytann420]

I think I remember Paul say that he didn't know how to play bass

[@jaynixon3129]

It's crazy to think that Paul didnt even know how to play bass when he first met Shawn and Joey. It goes to show that the most important keys to being successful in a band are passion and determination.

[@crispchaos4416]

A decade gone by, and we’re not fully the same without you Paul. Especially your brothers of Slipknot. Corey himself was beside himself for so long after you had left.

[@Liquid_Mike]

I am constantly amazed at how integral bass is to music.. it's the inexplicable groove that isn't represented by the guitar riffs and drums of a song when you're just looking at the pieces

[@NoVacancies]

One of the few bassists who inspired me to play bass :')

[@shallowcoder1]

What about Fieldy from Korn or Ryan from Mudvayne.

[@michalhaliak2108]

RainingBlood97 Yeah man I got your idea... But honestly, I really think that Jay will stay for a long time. He is only 25 years old, hes got a lot of energy, I dont know if you saw him live, I did, and he is a fucking beast behind those drums. He is really enjoying it, it was his dream to play with Slipknot, he was maggot since he was 8yrs old :D Have a great day too and keep on rockin man!

[@rainingblood979]

***** Yeah, I agree. He puts a lot of heart and energy behind the kit. I have seen him with Slipknot several times and honestly he did a better job each time than Joey did the last time I seen him with Slipknot. Joey was slowing down big time not even halfway through the set and he threw everyone else off, he just wasn't into it anymore and you could tell, but Jay was on point each time and you could tell even Clown liked him (I seen some of the comments Clown made) and Alessandro was great as well. He also did his best but he sticks to the back too much and you can see them trying to get him to move up with them instead of being right in front of Jay's riser the whole time.
