    I think that “closest to him and Joey” had a HUGE impact on why IOWA sounds so perfect. No album has that Bassy atmosphere. It’s just so dark it can’t be put into words. But so much bass and the drums are beyond perfect. Joey had to outshine that first record or at least match it. It worked.

    I met and interviewed Paul on Slipknot's first tour of Germany back in December of '99 (12.17.1999, Kantine, Cologne). He was such a genuinely kind and friendly person, not at all what I had expected from someone in such a band. He was just so nice to hang out with... such a shame he left us so early.

      Co-founder of the band slipknot died at the age of 38. His name, "Paul Gray" summing to 38 in pythagorean. Clown's daughter died 83 days before Slipknot's new album was released.
      His nickname was the pig.

      Killing=38 (R)
      On July 30th, Paul was awarded the "Kerrang"=38 (R) (74 O) (444 ES) which is also classified as “service to metal” (211 RO) the 47th prime.
      Paul reportedly died in Room 431......431 the 83rd prime...83 the reflection of 38.
      Paul Gray died in Johnston, Iowa.
      Johnston=38(RR)
      Johnston, Iowa=163 (O)
      163 is the 38th prime number
      He died of an overdose of morphine and fentanyl (38 RFR)

    I wish Slipknot recorded again with Ross Robinson, their chemistry was amazing and it shows on the first two albums. Rick Rubin really butchered that third album, and nothing against the guys that produced their other albums but Ross Robinson did something magical with Slipknot back in the day

    • @jokir520
      @jokir520 2 роки тому +1

      He did capture magic w them however, though the first 2 albums are classic, most of us wouldn't want to hear the same album over and over. Their use of different producers hasn't hindered their quality. I met Corey Taylor recently and told him "you guys literally level up with each new album", which is true. Vol. 3 was bad, but it has its moments. Even if it was all bad we wouldn't have All Hope. .5 was another one that had it's moments but without it there wouldn't be WANYK which is probably the best album I've heard in years. Now take Korn for example. They went back to Ross after so many years and in an attempt to recapture the magic of their first 2 albums and created one of their worst collections of songs ever. So, I get what you're saying but I personally feel like it would be an unnecessary step for Slipknot. Maybe even a misstep.
