STONE SOUR: 'Say You'll Haunt Me' Video Released
"Say You'll Haunt Me", the new video from STONE SOUR, can be viewed below. The clip was helmed by director Paul R. Brown, who has previously worked with SLIPKNOT, MÖTLEY CRÜE, KORN, GODSMACK and AVENGED SEVENFOLD, among others."Say You'll Haunt Me" comes off STONE SOUR's third album, "Audio Secrecy", which is scheduled for release on September 7 via Roadrunner Records.
STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor told The Pulse of Radio that it took him a while to warm up to "Say You'll Haunt Me" during the making of the record. "It was one of those songs that I didn't really feel until it was finished," he said. "I enjoyed the lyrics but I wasn't sure about the music. I'd come in and I'd sang it, and I put my heart into it because the lyrics are about my wife and how I feel about my wife, and then I left. And I came back and they (the band) had just made it incredible. Now I can't get it out of my head."
STONE SOUR (Taylor, guitarists James Root and Josh Rand, bassist Shawn Economaki and drummer Roy Mayorga) and producer Nick Raskulinecz (FOO FIGHTERS, ALICE IN CHAINS, DEFTONES) recorded the follow-up to 2006's "Come What(ever) May" at Blackbird Studios in Nashville during the destructive storms and devastating floods that hit the historic heart of Music City.
"Come What(ever) May" debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard album chart and included the hits "Through Glass", "Sillyworld" and "Made Of Scars".
The quintet will be previewing select songs from the album during this summer's Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival. The 36-date tour launches August 17 in Minneapolis, Minnesota and will visit arenas and amphitheatres across North America before wrapping October 4 in Madison, Wisconsin.

JOEY JORDISON Says SLIPKNOT Will 'Absolutely' Record New Studio Album
Drummer Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT, MURDERDOLLS, ROB ZOMBIE) was interviewed by Fuse TV's Mistress Juliya at a recent stop on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Watch the chat below.When asked if there will be another SLIPKNOT record coming in the not-too-distant future following the recent passing of the band's bassist, Paul Gray, Jordison said, "Absolutely. I just wanna thank all the fans for their support on my loss. But there will be another record for sure."
Jordison made his live debut as a member of Rob Zombie's touring band on April 8 at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles.
Joey sat behind the kit for the "Gruesome Twosome" tour, which featured Zombie along with his longtime pal, Alice Cooper.
Rob Zombie headed into the studio earlier this month to record four new songs with his touring band, which includes Jordison. Zombie wrote that the new material is "some of the fastest and heaviest tracks we have recorded in a long, long time." The new music will be available in September, although Zombie did not say how it will be released.

COREY TAYLOR Dedicates Acoustic Version Of SLIPKNOT's 'Snuff' To His 'Brother' PAUL GRAY
The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas unveiled a special new Corey Taylor case on July 15. The case features masks and uniforms that Corey has worn on stage with SLIPKNOT as well as some of his plaques, photographs and some other special memorabilia.
To celebrate this special honor, Corey performed two solo shows at the Hard Rock. The first was Poolside on July 16 with his JUNK BEER KIDNAP BAND. The second was the above-mentioned solo acoustic show at Wasted Space in the Hard Rock.
Taylor told Billboard.com that it's "too soon" to talk about SLIPKNOT's future following the May 2010 death of Paul Gray at the age of 38. SLIPKNOT has been on a break since late last year and the band members did not give any hint of their future plans at a brief press conference they did the week of Gray's death. Taylor himself is taking part in promotional efforts for "Audio Secrecy", the third album from his other band STONE SOUR, which is due out September 7. Other than his "too soon" comment, he declined to speak about Gray.

SID WILSON Talks About New Solo Project On Iowa's LAZER 103.3
On July 16, SLIPKNOT DJ Sid Wilson (a.k.a. DJ Starscream) was interviewed by Andy Hall of the Des Moines, Iowa radio station Lazer 103.3. Watch the chat in two parts below.Wilson (MySpace page) recently announced plans to release a "solo" album with his new project , simply called SID. He said, "I am the frontman [for SID] and have a band backing me with guitarist 9 Ballz, drummer Big Mike, the DJ 'A-Roc Impossible', and hype and back-up vocals by Jamazz."
SID will perform on August 26 at the Val Air Ballroom in Des Moines, Iowa. Opening the show will be BLUE FELIX and UNVISIONED. Tickets are $15 in advance, $20 day of show and are available through Ticketmaster.
SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR guitarist Jim Root said an interview at the Sonisphere festival web site that a "healing process" needs to take place before SLIPKNOT decides how to move forward following the death in May of bassist Paul Gray. Root said, "I'm not sure what we are going to do. We haven't talked about anything we're going to do. We've got some things to think about so right now we are just going to not think about them . . . There's going to be a big healing process that needs to happen before we even think about whether or not SLIPKNOT will continue. And right now that's the furthest thing from our mind. Right now we are just grieving or trying to find time to grieve anyway for the fact that our bro's gone."
Root and SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor are on the road now with STONE SOUR, whose new album, "Audio Secrecy", arrives on September 7.
Root said that it will be "probably two years at least" before SLIPKNOT begins to think about its future, with STONE SOUR gearing up for 18 months of touring behind the new record.
The 38-year-old Gray's body was found on May 24 by a maintenance worker in a suburban hotel room outside Des Moines, Iowa. A needle and pills were found near his body.
A medical examiner recently ruled that Gray died of an accidental overdose of morphine and a synthetic form of morphine called fentanyl. Gray also apparently suffered from "significant" heart disease.

ROB ZOMBIE, ALICE COOPER, MURDERDOLLS To Tour Together In The Fall
"Metal Zone" host Nikki Blakk of the San Francisco, California radio station 107.7 The Bone conducted an interview with drummer/guitarist Joey Jordison (SLIPKNOT, MURDERDOLLS, ROB ZOMBIE) on July 11, 2010 at the Mountain View, California stop of the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival. Watch the chat in two parts below. A couple of excerpts follow.Q: What was it like working with Al Jourgensen [MINISTRY]?
Joey: Amazing. And actually I'm working with him again in the fall. Actually, not the fall — early next year. . . I just talked to Al the other day and we're gonna do something. I'm not sure if he's got a name for the project or if it's just gonna be a solo record, but it's gonna be the fastest thing that he's ever done, and it'll probably actually push me a little bit more, so it's gonna be interesting.
Q: So it's not gonna be a MINISTRY project?
Joey: It might turn into that; I don't know. We're just gonna write and it's coming out on 13th Planet [Jorgensen's record label], but that'll be next year.
Q: So you've actually already got the next year, pretty much, planned out.
Joey: Yeah, I've got the rest of this Mayhem tour with ZOMBIE, then I've got Ozzfest [dates with MURDERDOLLS], a couple of Ozzfests, and some solo [MURDERDOLS] shows over in Europe, come back, and then the fall is gonna be [a package tour featuring] MURDERDOLLS, ALICE COOPER [and] ROB ZOMBIE for the fall run, which is Gruesome... Well, it's not the Gruesome Twosome tour now, since the MURDERDOLLS [is gonna be part of the package]. So I'm [pulling double duty] during the fall [tour playing with both MURDERDOLLS and ROB ZOMBIE]. Then after that, November [will be] MURDERDOLLS [in] Europe, then — I think; I'm not totally sure — there might be some ZOMBIE stuff in December. Then after that's MURDERDOLLS all next year, besides the studio stuff with Al, and then we'll see where I'm at at that point.
Q: Isn't it weird for you to have the next year and a half year of your life just mapped?
Joey: Sometimes it's a little weird. Sometimes I sit back and I'm, like, "Man, have I completely lost my mind?" I mean, like, all the way? And sometimes I'm, like, I might have. But it's all I know. I mean, that's what I was put here for.
First **unconfirmed** "Halloween Hootenanny" tour dates featuring ROB ZOMBIE, ALICE COOPER and MURDERDOLLS:
Sep. 30 - Gibson Amphitheatre - Universal City, CA
Oct. 02 - AVA Amphitheater - Tucson, AZ
