Wow, you son of a bitch. Haha, I probably deserved that.

He's waited as his time's elapsed

Hey Corey, huge fan here! Couple questions I hope you'll answer:

1) What's your opinion on the double concept album idea Clown's been talking about for Slipknot's next project? He says everyone's excited, but what's your opinion in particular? Any particular ideas or visions you've had? There's so much potential for awesomeness there with how artsy and experimental the band's gotten over the course of your career, and personally I think a concept album would be damn incredible. And to what degree has it been discussed?

2) What is/are your favorite song(s) on The Gray Chapter? Could be your favorite to listen to, your favorite to perform, the ones you enjoyed recording/writing the most, maybe a few in each of those categories?

3) I watched an interview recently where you said that it seemed like the bad weather was following you because of all of the rain you got during your European tour. I'll clarify for you that some omnipotent force is trying to tell you something: PLAY "IF RAIN IS WHAT YOU WANT". That song would be an incredible show finale (especially if it's raining at that particular time), either for before the encore, as the encore, or perhaps part of a double encore? Any way would be great. I'm really hoping the band considers playing it for the Summer's Last Stand tour. It would be fucking fantastic.

4) Any chance for rarities or never-played songs on upcoming tours? Maybe some songs like Metabolic, I Am Hated, Prosthetics, Snuff, Gehenna, Gematria, Skin Ticket, Gently, some others. Any thoughts on those songs in particular?

5) How does this picture make you feel? http://i.imgur.com/MkAwS9r.jpg

6) How long do people get to talk to you at your book-signing events? At the very least, I'm hoping to get a picture with you. Ideally, I'd like to also get to attempt to express the admiration I have for you and Slipknot in a bunch of stuttered fragments. At the very most, maybe we can go for some dinner and converse at length (My treat!) before heading into the studio to work on a song together (Your treat...? Maybe...? Studio time is expensive...).

7) Any advice for finding people who share a common artistic vision who may want to be in a band with me? Right now I write songs (I sing, play guitar and bass, and program drums) that I'd love to be able to put into a band if I ever got the right people together for my idea. Oh, and remember the name Skrik. If I do get that band together and we blow up big, that's the name. If you hear it, you should remember that one guy named NegativeDevil on Reddit who asked you way too many questions and tried way too hard to make you laugh in the process.

8) Fuck Ron. Fuck Ron.

9) Did I make you laugh at all...?

Yeah I'm not complaining!

Since you're touring with them this summer, I'm curious: what's your favorite Slipknot song?
