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

Did anyone else hear Sid's part in their heads so clearly that you thought it was being played in the background??

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

[@jessamicachan]

Each time paul smiles I can't help but to smile too, he was having a great time,

[@slipknotfan6659]

His smiles so contagious

[@eduardoandres5989]

a jam is a jam!

[@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.

[@zeedevil3361]

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

[@mezmerize5167]

William Loader he played bass not guitar

[@jamesmcivor340]

[@jamesmcivor340]

@Dmitry Agapov nope

[@saintpoli6800]

James McIvor Yeah you are. Technically a bass is a guitar, but there’s a vast difference.

[@juantakito9620]

Thats why its called a bass guitar

[@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

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

Paul is such a humble man R.I.P to one of biggest reasons why I love metal

[@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 talked with him about time signatures once when he was in HELLYEAH.

[@joe_tipakuah4880]

@@Heisterz Slipknot have their own views for chosing Jay over Roy..but for me I prefer this dude (Roy) as he killed all Joey's best parts of any Slipknot's drumming, including the double bass.Well,it's up to Slipknot's choice to decide. RIP Paul Gray (2010) RIP Joey (2021)

[@dEAthlikEstAtic]

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

Shit, I'd jam this in my car! Never thought I would be so into just a bass and drum tune, but DAMN! This is insane!

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.
