dathomiri is in mourning
(no I am not cutting this by the way, if you don't like it get bent.)
Today as I said, I am mourning the sad loss of one of the members of my one of my most beloved bands, Slipknot. I would have posted this sooner, but I haven't been in the mood to... it was quite a shock and part of me doesn't wanna believe it. What a horrible week for metal! But anyway, here's just my small tribute post, to pay my respects like a lot of people are no doubt doing.
Paul Gray has passed away and it's been confirmed unfortunately, this horrible news is indeed true. This is a sad loss. Though I didn't know him, Slipknot's music has always spoken to me, it's been a voice when I had no words to express myself and it's offered comfort to me when I desperately needed it. It might sound silly, but music means a lot to me and so many songs of theirs speak to me on a personal level and have sentimental value to me. So even though I didn't know him, the loss still sucks pretty bad, like I too lost a friend. And from what I've seen of him, Paul seemed like a genuinely wonderful person and it really does break my heart to see someone pass who was so young and still had a lot of life ahead of him. I won't speculate on the events that led to him passing away, since there's no concrete info as I write this, but it has to be said - everyone has their own battles, their own demons. He wasn't perfect. I won't judge. Paul, thank you for the music, thanks for the memories, thanks for the fun. Though it's a shame you're no longer with us, thank you for the memories.
Paul, RIP brother. You will be sorely and deeply missed.
