One More Slipknot Record?
Fear not, for there will be a new Slipknot record in the not-so-distant future. But whether the band carries on after that, no one can say for sure, reports MTV News.
Frontman Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root are off doing Stone Sour, and drummer Joey Jordison is filling in for Korns on-hiatus drummer David Silveria during this summers Family Values Tour. So the members of Slipknot dont have any definitive plans to begin writing new material for their next LP and have no idea when they'll record it.
Nothings really been written yet, and its just kind of up in the air right now, Taylor said. We're definitely going to do at least one more Slipknot album, lets put it that way. But after that, who knows? You get to a point in life where you've said all you can really say with one thing, and I've still got some stuff I want to say with Slipknot. But who knows where I'll be after that. So I want to at least make one more, and then I dont know whats going to happen.
Taylor is well aware that the bands fans will be summarily bummed if the Knot decide to call it a day after reconvening for the recording of and subsequent touring around their impending studio offering, to which the singer responded, Grow up! Taylor said he'd like Slipknot to go out when the time is right and doesn't want to see the band hanging on past its prime.
If [the fans] really sat down and thought about what Slipknot is and what Slipknot was, I think it would make sense to them,he said. Anytime you drive something into the dirt, its not the same as it was. It doesn't have the same potency, the same meaning. I think any real Slipknot fan would appreciate that. I'm not saying it will be the last album from us I'm saying it most likely I mean, we're at least doing one more. People are very pessimistic, and instead of looking at things in a pragmatic mindset, they go, Oh, I cant live. Please.
Taylor is more certain about Stone Sour's future. I will always make music with Stone Sour, he said. Stone Sour will always be here.

I knew they were making another album, it's been in the pipline for ages. I think (and hope) it will be their last album too.. The fans should realise that a band like Slipknot cannot be dragged on too long.

Hmm.. after reading this thread, I'm not certain what I'm supposed to here. Was I supposed to give a shit?

Oh noes!

the novelty has worn off, you can only be like slipknot for while i mean even the berzerker shed their masks to move on.

Meh, they can only write so many songs in that style without making some sound too similar. They might still do live shows though after their album? It doesn't mean they'll never perform together again.

they have some good songs. guess i wouldnt mind another slipknot record

Heres an idea. Dont wear masks for all promo shots. That will create a buzz!
I sorta look forward to seeing if they continue on from Volume 3 or go back to their IOWA sound.

They've taken their masks off before, it's no big deal if they do it again We all know what they look like now.

True.
Some of them look better WITH their masks on

Most of them.
