I'm a big fan of the band. Too many rock stars die too young.

I wasn't a fan (mostly because of their appearance) until I heard Vermillion part 2.

Sad. Way too young.

This is really sad. I'm a big fan of Slipknot.

Slipknot in Orlando, FL right when their first album came out was one of the best concerts I've ever seen. I was very saddened to hear this news. Our local rock station, WJRR, has a video up on their website of a press conference held by the band this week.
