Tuesday Trivia: Lucky Number …

Over the past few days, there were heavy rumors of Corey Taylor joining Velvet Revolver behind the microphone (lolwat). After reading the news, three thoughts went through my head: 1) This is the end of Slipknot; 2) I need to take a crap; 3) Corey’s comments were (somewhat) interesting.

After I left the toilet, I came back to reading the article. So, what Corey basically says is that he’s kind of outgrown Slipknot (he’s not that whiny kid anymore, now he’s a douschy adult) and that the band lost a huge part when Paul Gray died. Well, with all respect to Paul (may he rest in piece), he might have contributed more than the others, but he’s still a member of a band that can loose half its members and not many people would notice.

Which got me thinking: Can Slipknot continue even if Corey leaves (I think a few people would jump with joy at news of them having a new vocalist)? Does anyone really care at this point (I think a few more people would jump with joy at news of them breaking up)? And finally, the theme of today’s trivia: is there a band on this planet that has more (useless) members than Slipknot?
