(TeamRock Radio) Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor says the band's bassist and drummer will share the same mask design on stage. And he reveals they decided to make the move as they didn't want to be disrespectful to late bassist Paul Gray and former drummer Joey Jordison.

Taylor tells Loudwire: "We wanted to make something that looked unified but stayed with the spirit of what the band is all about. Instead of trying to find something that was individualistic, Clown designed a mask that the drummer and bass player will both wear.

"On one hand they get a mask but at the same time, it's not an individual mask that we in the band use. We knew any attempt to do anything like that might be taken as disrespectful, but at the same time, it's part of the way of moving, getting past the hardest steps.

"We decided we would come up with a mask that works for both the bassist and the drummer, and that's what they wear on stage." here.
