Stone Sour – Josh Rand Update Filed
STONE SOUR guitarist Josh Rand has checked in from the studio where the lads are hard at work on their 2nd album:
“As we roll into week four of the recording process for the new album, a lot has happened…
“Starting off with a week of pre-production as [our producer] Nick pushed us to the brink and back, we fine-tuned the songs for the record. Now with eighteen tracks slated to be recorded we were ready to begin the drum tracks.
“[However,] two weeks into the recording of the drums Joel would have to leave the project and return home to his family. His nine-year-old son is very sick. He was diagnosed with Brain Stem Glioma (brain cancer) last fall. With the fate of the record now up in the air a decision had to be made: postpone the record or bring in someone to finish the drum tracks. So with Joel’s blessing, Roy Mayorga will finish the drum tracks as we move forward.”
“On behalf of myself and the rest of Stone Sour our prayers go out to the Ekmans.”
God Bless,
Josh

Stone Sour > Slipknot
That still isn't saying much.
This album probably will be better than Slipknot's last one. Corey's voice is sounding so shot these days, this style of music suits him much better than Slipknot. Which is why there was probably so much melodic singing on Slipknot's last one. It's a shame when you compare Corey's screaming on Slipknot's debut to his attempted screaming on Vol. 3. Just a HUGE difference. And it's even worse on the live Slipknot album. Absolutely embarrassing when he tries to hit the high pitched screams.
Even though I hate both Slipknot and and Stone Sour, I do like the song Bother. And you can apply the same "screaming" analogy with In Flames. Listen to his growls on the older albums compared to now. Just pathetic.
