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

My analogy is that a song is like a roast dinner. Drums are the plate, bass is the gravy, guitar is the meat, and vocals are the veg/bonus bits like yorkshire puddings

His smiles so contagious

[@Roastbutt]

@@slipknotfan6659that’s why they wore masks. Seriously this guy is the e of my idols as a bassist and Musician.

[@Dravenbelmont]

He is smiling cause he's flattered that someone else can actually play that shit and gives it the love Joey did. The fact someone can cover that and took the time to learn all that shit is a huge honor. I'd be smiling too.

[@villezlovrgrl666]

he's not trying to play like joey dude he's doin his own thing .... THESE TWO ROCKED TOGETHER!!!!!!!!! x) R.I.P. paul always loved and remembered

[@Skeware]

This is the only audition Slipknot need in 2023/24. Back in 2013, back when whatever happened to our hero Joey :(, Roy is the man I hoped would join

[@SirFooplesTheThird]

Roy is a better fit for SS. He's actually respected there

There is something i just realize about paul.. i watched his interviews about slipknot about his life but when he play guitar i see him smiling. man this dude i respect him so much.. why you have to leave this world so early. its just sad to see paul smile while playing music. watch him at 1:58

[@lindapetrikovicova9329]

This is BADASS!!! R.I.P. Paul, you were the best.♥

[@HellishPunch]

Linda Petrikovičová Please tell me why he was the best. I respect him and your thoughts but as a bass player I don't find anything special in his playing. Mine is just curiosity

[@ZachHarless]

Maki Ka Tzee "best" is a generalization. she doesn't mean best as in the best bass player, she means it as a person. He was the best as in a good person. God, people on the internet are so stupid and say the most distasteful things.

[@HellishPunch]

Why are you saying I'm stupid? Mine was a curiosity, and I said I respect other people's thought. If you judge others by their simple questions then you are the stupid one who say distasteful things. I'm sorry if I somehow offended you and your god Paul, but once again don't bother other people who are curious about something

[@ZachHarless]

Maki Ka Tzee lol I'm not even a die hard slipknot fan..I don't know anything about Paul other than he was a good guy. Why would you say you don't find anything special about his playing? He's dead. That's really rude to say about some who's passed

[@HellishPunch]

Zach Harless He was a discreet bass player, but I can't understand why he is considered a god. And I'm not insulting him, so why the fuck are you bothering me if you don't even understand what I'm saying? The fact that he's passed doesn't mean nobody can tell his opinion. If you don't get this please stop argue

[@gunnarelisigurjonsson2587]

Still all these years later.. still goosebumps. What a duo.

[@rjgonzalez14]

We miss you Paul !!!!! If you noticed after he passed they rarely play the songs he loved to play like surfacing they rarely play or snuff... And when they do play snuff it's a tribute to Paul... I can honestly say when Paul died the band went with him.. We miss you Paul R.I.P.

[@SteveM721S]

Bullshit! They played surfacing a lot and but snuff was not a popular song to play as a vermillion pt 2 too etc, so don't fool yourself

[@adamcogan211]

RJ Gonzalez surfacing is basically in every Slipknot encore. They literally say “Now for your national anthem”. And Snuff (whilst being an amazing song) would make a concert incredibly boring and kill any energy a Slipknot concert would bring

[@adamcogan211]

Gay Series I love the song but it would 100% ruin any pace or momentum of a concert. You couldn’t put any Iowa or Self-titled next to it at all, would be completely out of place

[@olivierveilleux2292]

they end practically every show with surfacing...

I remember when i was a little kid this was the first slipknot song i heard, and from then on i fell in love with the band. I was inspired by paul to play bass, and many of my best friends are maggots. R.I.P Paul Gray. Much love from michigan.

he did do really great, i'd love to see just joey&paul play this though.

It's great to see Paul smiling the most of the Time when he plays. I watched the Lesson for "Duality" and played it on Bass. Now I will start to play "Surfacing" and in the 2 Parts Paul can explain it so fuckin' good. He was one of the Guy's who said "You wanna play the Song? I'll show you and then you kick some Ass!" RIP Paul Gray and thank you for all the Inspiration over the Years.

so awsome bassist, he was so good. Even without the guitar the song still rocks !!!! R.I.P (Rock in Peace) stay (sic)
