The other members of Slipknot have been mostly ambivalent about the band's future in the wake of bassist Paul Gray's passing, but percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan told The Pulse of Radio that he's confident the band will be back.
"Slipknot just needs time, and everybody needs to be allowed to do what they're doing because they need to do what they need to do," he said. "And then there'll be a time that we'll get together and we'll sort out what's going on. But we'll be back. It's not a band, it's a culture, and you can't just wipe a culture off the face of the earth. People won't have it."
Slipknot singer Corey Taylor and guitarist Jim Root have been touring with their band Stone Sour this year, while drummer Joey Jordison has been on the road with Rob Zombie. Other Slipknot members have also been involved in various projects.
Slipknot posted a message on its web site earlier in the week asking for the return of items taken from the gravesite of Paul Gray, who died last May. The message reads, "In a very upsetting turn of events we have learned that some gifts left for Paul at his grave site have been stolen. There were statues of a gargoyle as well as a Buddha that were placed at Paul's grave by his friends and family that were taken. We ask that whoever did this please return the items no questions asked. If anyone has any information about the stolen items please let us know by posting in the comments. Thank you for your continued support in this trying time."
Gray was found dead in a hotel room in Urbandale, Iowa on May 24.
Thanks for the report to Blabbermouth.net.

Who is now less relevant than Slipknot
I can't wait until they tour because I really want to see them live...
Someone from the band should definitely play bass because they don't need 3 percussionists...one would be fine...
But yeah I still think they'd be a lot of fun either way
then i saw them on every other tour since.
Yes even the SOAD/Rammstein show. <<<<<That was their greatest show in my opnion.
