Paul Grey ~ BassNickname: Balls (knows no fear)
B-Day ~ April 8, 1972
Paul is a cofounder of Slipknot with Shawn (6) and Anders. Seems to be a friendly person, with an indulgent personality. Paul was not born in Des Moines Iowa, unlike the rest of the band, he was born in LA and moved when he was young. Apparently he is half black and once burnt a picture of KoRn posing for Calvin Klein live on stage. He has appeared in bands such as Vexx, Body Pit, a**l Blast and Inveigh Catharsis all before Slipknot, he also made an appearance with Davo's band, "The Havenots".
Quote - "When we go to radio stations for interviews, we wear the masks and never fail to freak people out. Are the masks a fetish thing? I'm definitely into that stuff. Des Moines definitely has more than its fair share of freaks."
Mask - Paul wears a latex pig's face mask. MEANING: "Right now it represents breathing problems and it's somewhat more uncomfortable than the last ones". During the "IOWA" album/touring Paul wore a more like "Beaver" style of mask. Now he has a mask called "Shatterd Pig" its a mask with an open mouth with metal bars goingin front of his mouth (like hannibal Lecter's). Is also has what seems to be a gun shot in the head and that makes it look like oits shatterd.
