- R.I.P. Paul Gray, truly one of the biggest inspirations to me personally.
From the IMV dvd. For Slipknot bassist Paul Gray. Bass Instruction. Видеоклипы
I love how he says "BASSically" a lot
And then you know Jim is just like you know
That's the intro basically
@@1Cnugget basically
Basically, yeah.. you know?
@@kahtic7166 Jesus Christ. I made this comment ten years ago.
Perfect example on how a song doesn't need to be complicated and technical to be amazing.
supposedly the band(think it was body pit or something else) was looking for a bassist at like a music store or something and they asked if he could play and he said yes even though he never touched a bass in his life. that may be why this old song is so easy
Have you guys listened to MFKR by any chance? Paul has some very complex bass lines in a lot of those songs, especially Confessions and Do Nothing/Bitchslap. It's astonishing that he just started playing bass because they needed a bass player, because the bass lines I mentioned are really crazy and not easy to play.
I still couldn't play it if i tried if it's technical or not lmao
(sic)
I love you Paul Gray ❤
What a cool guy. He comes across as someone who be great to hang out with. Such a shame he's gone.
Hes was such a nice guy compared to the rest of them. To me it seemed like when the band was having differences he brought them together.
Yeah. In another video, Corey lashes out at Sid backstage then Paul tells Corey to move on or something like that.
Ian Paul Exactly...R.I.P. Paulie
Jim Root is a nice guy, so don't make it seem like they are assholes or something. Douche nozzle!
Fender Tremolo do you know them in real life?
@@fendertremolo9793 yeah Jim is the nicest guy in any band ever I’d love to meet him
R.I.P. Paul
The second part of the chorus where he goes up and down an octave to accent the drums is fucking genius.
1:52 -2:00
Hey, your guitar covers are awesome. :)
Agreed.
Genius is maybe pushing it a little. I don't suppose you listen to a lot of RCHP, Deep Purple or Led Zeppelin? Or any band with a great rhythm section for that matter? Paul is a functional player, but I think he leans way to hard on the downbeat and doesn't really accentuate the backbeat with enough bright notes. Good bass player, no doubt, but no genius.
Justin King i think ur thinking of the breakdown or the bridge
This man was slipknot bruh
They haven't and never will sound the same without this dude
Energy from the rest of them hasnt been the same either and I don't blame em
You fr never get over the death of somebody you're close with when it's cut short
rest in peace brother.
Good bye, Paul.. Thnx for the music and all..
Being a gifted musician isn't indicated by the complexity or difficulty of how you play your instrument. Its much more to do with creativity, song writing ability and how well you play it (not how well you might play someone else's songs).
When you realize this and you know what an inspirational band Slipknot with Paul Grey were (and as you rightly said, he was the driving force behind it), then you may realize what an exceptionally gifted musician this man was.
Just wondering how many other guitarists or bassists actually show tutorials of their own tunes?..right..NONE.. RIP dude.
You're not too bright. Lots of musicians do that, moron.
@@fendertremolo9793 Yea what an idiot. You beat me to it..
it's crazy how when he joined the band he didn't know how to play bass at all.
He knew how to play. It was before he moved to Des moines he didnt know how to play. He only played Guitarr before that but learned playing bass after he joined a band (not The pale ones / Slipknot) that needed a bassist. And after that he started learning it. This was a few years before Slipknot.
KSIdrldrl What do you mean that Corey came in and fucked everything up? By that I mean what did Corey do that fucked up Pauls bass playing or Slipknot's songs?
KSIdrldrl Although I understand the part that he didnt really get to, well do much actually bass playing with Slipknots later material I do not for one second believe you can really blame Corey for that. I mean when he joined Slipknot at first he wasnt even known for screaming (Jim didnt even knew he could untill he heard him with Slipknots demos and such).
And I dont really get how you can say they turned into a generic nu metal band since it was the very fact that they were so unique and chaotic that really made them to what they became. I personally dont even know if I would class them as Nu metal because compared to other bands I heard from that genre they just sound so much more aggresive and heavy.
But yeah of course I am curious to see what they would sound like if they had decided to go for a more funk-genre. But they made the choice not to and it wasnt because Corey of all people pushed/forced them to it xD
KSIdrldrl its really not crazy at all, He already know how to play guitar, he can do chromatic on bass & as long as he know notes, won't take long to get used to play bass for a metal band. unless if its a jazz band, or any band that require fancy technique on bass
+KSIdrldrl stfu MFKR was a shit album. Slipknot wouldn't have made it out of Des Moines without Corey.
God damn, that tone. So much UHMPH to it. It's like the opening of scissors, i get chills when I crank that up. R.I.P Paul.
I love the fact he actually takes the time out and teaches people how to play the song, Then does it over again slower. How many musicians take the time to actually do all of this. Not many, he seemed like such a good bloke. He will always be missed.
We miss u Paul Gray
I know you're up in heaven jaming with real legends.
You and the Rev(A7X) makes the thunder on a Gray day, when u jam.
R.I.P Paul
The rev sucked ass
That's what caught my ear about Slipknot with the little base lead because what metal band can you actually hear the base and then all the sudden there's this crazy little jazz bass breakdown section
He seems like such a good person, a warm and caring dude. Man is he going to be missed....
RIP, where u are! you made with your music feel that i can do whatever i want. thank you for everything that your music made me feel, thank you . Paul rest in peace.
4:01 and people call him terrible...
People call the band terrible*
Felix Nilbog yeah i dont understand why
I dont think we will ever know.
Felix Nilbog yeah
+Trevor Hill Maybe because they have a different opinion on things and people love to bitch? :D
My favorite Slipknot song (most notably when it's played live)
its amazing how much work goses into one slipknot song
R.I.P PAUL from Venezuela... I never will forget your sounds and your music slipknot never will be the same without you. nine are not nine without the number two T-T
I watched this video after watching Corey Taylor NY Ink and this video is even harder to watch now. Corey's emotions and seeing this amazing guy is heart breaking. Paul might be dead but he lives on in our minds and Corey's heart. R.I.P Gray you will always be missed.

He is a very good teacher. I bought the Tim Skold one just Saturday and it's very great but he's not the one that should be teaching guitar.

im so fucking sad for this lost, paul ten years listen your music, music that it is like soundtrack to my life it hurts a lot, R.I.P
Look, I'm a Christian and I love metal (and found this bassist to be inspiring)...so please don't go out thinking EVERYONE who digs the big guy upstairs to be evil.
That said, I strong feel (even though there are those out there who think like that idiot) that he's trolling.
My heart goes out to Gray's family and I truly (with all of my heart!) hope he's in a better place.
~Peace
Bassicaly is the best! RIP PAUL
RIP Paul

thank you so much
thanks for the video Maggot One Love One Universe
Best Alternative Nu Metal bassist EVER!!!! EVER!!!!
Wow, that guy got a sick tone.........really friggin' great
R.I.P. from Canada
I have no words... I wanted to meet him and make him show riffs of his old death metal bands and everything else... life is cruel :'(:'( R.I.P. Paul(L)
I think it depends on what you call special. I wouldn't put him in a top10 of the most technically gifted, but that doesn't impress me as much as good song writing. Personally i don't like much after their first two albums but those were innovative albums in metal, in which i believe he wrote most of the music.
Therefor he wasn't following the guitar, they were playing his songs, and id say a great deal of the credit for those two iconic albums has to go to this man.
R.I.P from Brazil
I just love his tone, I wish I had a bass with that kind of beefy ass tone
Nah man, it ain’t the bass it’s that multi-thousand dollar big nice amp stack he has back there 👍
@@nickrandles1102 Ah the feeling of seeing a comment you made a decade ago lol I think I said that because he had that Ibanez ATK bass that I wanted (and still do!) but yeah it's definitely not just the bass itself.
dude that fingerwork is insane
R.I.P from sweden...you will be missed...
"Tappy Noisy Thing." RIP Paul
Thats an awesome tone
he sound like a nerd I LOVE IT and with he could still be here making badass music like the old times R.I.P.
He's not the best, but he's our brother, we loved him like he was our father. Hes a god in all of our eyes from what he did for us, and Slipknot themselves.
