To-do list for Paul Gray (American musician):
|
Found another reference for his death. Time ran a short anecdote on his death http://newsfeed.time.com/2010/05/24/slipknot-bassist-paul-gray-dies-at-38/ —Preceding unsigned comment added by Alidha125 ( talk • contribs) 05:29, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Hi everyone, I've been told by a few people that his death was most likely caused by his addiction to Heroin, and that it will show in the toxicology test being done in the autopsy tomorrow. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hittingray ( talk • contribs) 01:59, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
KirkCliff2 ( talk) 06:11, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
I would also like to add to that the section "Death" is partially incorrect, it states that the band has not made a statement to that he is dead but if you go to their website they have a picture of him when you open up their site as a tribute to him. hittingray ( talk) 7:36 PM AEST May 25 2010 —Preceding undated comment added 09:36, 25 May 2010 (UTC).
I've edited this page maybe half a dozen times, and every time, it's always the same matter of removing a comment about how Paul Grey is an excellent bassist. This is not a NPOV statement - stop adding it. Additionally, I removed a comment about Anal Blast still being acting. Fine and dandy, but completely out of left field. Let's try and add some cohesion to this article, yes? Nhbelongstome 11:49, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I want to add the fact that he is not half Hispanic, but half Black. I know because I am his cousin. He is named afterr his father, my first cousin. His grandfather, Dedrick Gray and my father, Adrian Gray, are brothers. He also has a cousin, James Gray, also a bassist who is the founder of the band Four19 in Southern California. This side of his family wishes to reach out as he may not have been given the opportunity to know us. Row Gray - auntierow@yahoo.com
This page needs to be semi protected.
jjintheuk: I agree, this page needs to be reverted to before the editing, then semi locked with a statement. After all the details are out, and there is no more rumour it can be unlocked. There seems to be no question that he has died, but it is unclear how it happened.
Need this page protected, edits are getting out of hand. -- SamStudio8 ( talk) 21:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Why everybody's vandalizing it?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.0.242.125 ( talk) 21:44, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
duel007: Page needs to be locked, extreme vandalism. I've seen karlo i love you like 5 different times now on it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.221.38.146 ( talk) 21:45, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
I can't believe people can be this disrespectful of the dead.

All I request is that more true facts and for him to not be mocked and spoken about the way he is in this article, the poor man passed away and he is being mocked, simply uncalled for and boycotting will be made from myself and many many others if this is not changed.

Request for removal of the "(Last Studio Album With Slipknot)" part just after "All Hope is Gone" in the Discography section. Obviously if he's dead that's his last album with them, it doesn't need noting specifically. 86.129.204.109 ( talk) 23:30, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
It's not really that important, but is it worth noting that Paul plays left handed (as shown in all pictures on the page)
86.31.182.27 ( talk) 09:35, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
Done
I think we should move this article to Paul Dedrick Gray, as most media outlets are referring to him by this name. I would go ahead and do it myself, but I just wanted to make sure it would be alright. - Talk to you later, Presidentman ( talk) Random Picture of the Day 15:38, 25 May 2010 (UTC)

The room number was 431 where he passed away
{{editsemiprotected}} I wish to edit the part of Paul Grey's article in the masks section, the info about him wearing electrical tape is incorrect, that was their original vocalist Anders who did, he started out with a pig mask and kept with it until Iowa.
159.191.245.30 ( talk) 18:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
I saw this interview where Paul said he never had experience with playing bass until he joined the band. Should this be put in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatguy983 ( talk • contribs) 14:08, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
Maybe it should be noted that morphine is the metabolite which is discovered on a test after heroin is consumed. Heroin metabolites which are not morphine only remain in the system for 6 hours. 74.209.54.156 ( talk) 14:08, 27 June 2011 (UTC)
Paul Gray died in Johnston, Iowa not in Urbandale — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.24.75.2 ( talk) 15:32, 7 July 2011 (UTC)

"He is survived by his wife Brenn and their daughter October, who was born after his death." That sentence makes no sense-- Awesomewiki64 ( talk) 18:46, 18 January 2016 (UTC)
I've noticed on the page that it describes him as "an American musician, party clown, and songwriter" yet there is no evidence (from what I've seen anyway) that he was actually a party clown. I am almost tempted to remove it as "original research", yet I don't have any evidence to confirm he definitely wasn't. Could someone please confirm whether or not he was a party clown; and if he was, cite it, or if he wasn't, remove it. Thanks. Rotten Tardises ( talk) 16:15, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
