“I think rock 'n' roll, in a way, has been dead for a long time.” — Jim Root

There's such an energy and emotion to rock music, which is a lot of the reason I go back to '60s and '70s bands and look at some of the fire they had.

People that like Slipknot that could care less about Stone Sour, people that like Stone Sour that don't know a lot of Slipknot.

Well, basically Corey and I were in Stone Sour before we joined Slipknot.

Slipknot's the kind of band you need to step away from and kind of take a break from and let it heal, so to speak.
