New York radio personality and VH1 Classic "That Metal Show" co-host Eddie Trunk conducted an interview with SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor and percussionist M. Shawn Crahan before the band's October 19, 2013 performance at the Monsters Of Rock festival in São Paulo, Brazil. You can now watch the chat below.SLIPKNOT announced in December 2013 that it had parted ways with drummer Joey Jordison, one of the band's founding members and key songwriters. The group posted a statement at its web site which read, "It is with great pain but quiet respect that, for personal reasons, Joey Jordison and SLIPKNOT are parting ways. We all wish Joey the best in whatever his future holds. We understand that many of you will want to know how and why this has come to be, and we will do our best to respond to these questions in the near future." The statement added, "It is our love for all of you, as well as for the music we create, that spurs us to continue on and move forward with our plans for releasing new material in the next year. We hope that all of you will come to understand this, and we appreciate your continued support while we plan the next phase of the future of SLIPKNOT."SLIPKNOT was slated to begin work on a new album in January, the band's first since the 2010 death of bassist Paul Gray.The new SLIPKNOT album will be its first since 2008's "All Hope Is Gone" and the first since the 2010 death of bassist Paul Gray .SLIPKNOT guitarist Jim Root told The Pulse Of Radio late last year before the news about Jordison broke that he was feeling the urgency to make a new SLIPKNOT album. "You know, we haven't done a record since Paul's been gone and it's been pushing six years. And there's a lot of people in SLIPKNOT and a lot of fans and me myself kind of feel like it's time for that hurdle to be overcome. And for me, that's really like my number one priority and the most important thing for me right now."SLIPKNOT has not disclosed the reasons for Jordison's exit, although the drummer issued a statement in January saying that he did not quit the band.
