It’s always a good day when another piece of information comes out about the new Slipknot record, and today it’s come out that Jim Root will be sitting out of the next Stone Sour tour in order to focus on the next Slipknot release!Christian Martucci will be filling in on guitar instead, so fans shouldn’t be too disappointed.
“It was a difficult decision, but as the fans have wanted anotherStone Sourtour andJimhad responsibilities to the writing process withSlipknot, we feel this is the best decision where everyone wins.”
Clown recently told The Pulse of Radio that “Before you know it, there is going to be another record, and it’s gonna come sooner than anybody thinks,” he said. “Everybody thinks differently, but I’m here to tell you as theClown, it’s gonna come sooner than you think and it’s gonna hit you in the back of the head instead of the front of the face. And it’s gonna be an amazing, amazing part of our lives.”
Bring on the new Slipknot record in 2014!
