Excuse me, but what does Heavy Metal have anything to do with Slipknot??

You should change it to Nu metal/Alternative Metal/Post Thrash/Groove Metal

<Reply> They have abandoned Nu metal since Vol. 3, sure they have heavily incorporated Alternative metal and some song have elements of Groove metal but overall they cannot be described as a groove metal band to co-incide with Lamb of God. They are also no Post-Thrash. Heavy metal is what AHIS was on the larger scale.

Edit request from 96.23.175.65, 28 May 2010

{{editsemiprotected}}

The page should be completely slightly altered, since I still see parts of the page that need to be edited due to the death of bassist Paul Gray but have not been yet.

Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Can you point out specific parts please. --Yarnalgo _talk to me 22:07, 28 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

{{editsemiprotected}} The section Death of Paul Gray should be changed. Where it states "On May 28 it was confirmed that his death was caused by a drug overdose.[90]" is incorrect. The reference only speculates that Paul Gray's death was a drug overdose based on a 911 call and his history of drug abuse. Police have not confirmed this and a toxicology report has not yet been released. So this has NOT in fact been "confirmed".

I changed it to the medical examiner is awaiting results of a toxicology test before confirming the cause of death. The reference already in use there said as much, as did two on Mr Gray's article. If not detailed it least is accurate per the three references and avoids the speculations. I hope that will work for all pending official statements. delirious & lost ☯ ^{~talk to her~} 14:24, 29 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
