-- Police say the basist for the Iowa metal band slipknot has been found dead in a suburban Des Moines hotel room.
Urbandale police say a hotel employee found 38-year-old Paul Dedrick Gray dead in a room at the Town Plaza Hotel. Foul play wasn't suspected.
The Polk County Medical Examiner's Office plans an autopsy Tuesday.
Most slipknt members grew up in the Des Moines area. The band, known for its grotesque masks, released its first album in 1999. It sold more than 1 million copies.

That's a rough one for them. Tragic news.
If he was badass unique ****ist, like Flea, Claypool, or what's his name from Korn, the group's future shows will suffer because that sound will be gone. Never the same. That's if he was an 'in your face' type ****-player, and a major part of the sound like the bands I mentioned.
Very traigic for that group on so many levels.
