That was pretty unexpected. Never a huge fan of the band, but my condolences to his family. The metal stars seem to be dropping like flies this year.

Good grief. First Pete Steele, then Ronnie Dio, now this. Maybe there really is something to that "it happens in threes" saying.

I've seen numerous people say it was a drug overdose. I guess we won't know for sure until the official autopsy report comes out.

Yeah I was reading that an Autopsy will be done tomorrow and will include toxocology, my eldest stepson is bummed out about it. He just got a Slipknot shirt this weekend too.

I am not a fan of the band, but my eldest is sooooo..............

Never a huge fan either, but a band I respect as much as any other metal band. My condolences til his family and bandmembers. I wonder if Slipknot will call it quits, then? I've seen numerous interviews and programs about them, with them, especially Corey Taylor, expressing how much each individual member means to the band, and how much they stick together. But maybe that's just exaggerated. Anyway, this is a sad moment for metal, indeed.

Another needless drug death I suspect.

Dont care for the music, but I respect the band. Truly sad to hear. RIP

Question is, would the bassist want them to call it quits or would he want them to carry on?

My son came into my bedroom last night shocked...he was like "First Dio and now this??". He and his friend were talking about it last night...they were bummed. In Feb 2009 I took the 2 of them to see Slipknot. My son wore his tour shirt today in memory...

I think these guys continue on. If they call it quits then I guess thats what they all think the right move is..

Crazy and sad. Hate the music but that is way too young to go.

never heard of this band but Paul Grey's other band:

With three weeks of dates booked throughout Europe and Asia, HAIL! — the supergroup featuring mainstays Tim "Ripper" Owens (Beyond Fear, Yngwie Malmsteen, ex-Judas Priest, Iced Earth), David Ellefson (Megadeth) and Andreas Kisser (Sepultura) — has announced that it will not cancel its tour in the wake of its bassist Paul Gray's (Slipknot) untimely death.
The band has released the following statement regarding the matter:
"On Monday we were dealt a devastating blow with Paul's passing two days before our departure. We discussed the situation and unanimously thought that in the face of this tragedy we needed to remain strong and push forward because Paul would have vehemently insisted that the show must go on. In a desperate situation we made an emergency call to James Lomenzo and James responded with a Herculean effort, on only one day's notice, to fly to Portugal and rescue the Rock In Rio festival. His immediate and unselfish call to arms single-handedly saved this entire tour."
James Lomenzo has had a long and very successful career, having played with White Lion, Ozyy Osbourne, Black Label Society and, most recently, Megadeth.
HAIL! has epitomized the old-school unity and brotherhood of the metal culture that its bandmembers have all grown out of and this is another example of that close-knit circle of friends coming together to help in a time of need.

Yea, Paul Gray hadn't even played a note with HAIL yet. They're kinda like an "all star metal cover band." The Slipknot guy was a recent recruit, taking the place of Dave Ellefson, who went back to Megadeth.

Still tragic but I can't say I'm surprised.
