<P> It is the final single released from the band before the death of their bassist, Paul Gray who died just eight months after its release, and also the final single release before Joey Jordison left the band four years later . During recent solo acoustic shows, Corey Taylor has performed an acoustic version of "Snuff" as a tribute to Paul Gray . </P> <P> "Snuff", "Wait and Bleed", "Left Behind", and "Pulse of the Maggots" were released as downloadable songs in the Rock Band series . </P> <P> "This is the slow one . It's another personal one . Again, not naming names, it's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down . At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself . The lyrics are pretty self - explanatory ."--Corey Taylor </P> <P> "Corey doesn't really write music for Slipknot--but, when he came over to hear the songs Paul (Gray, bassist) and I were working on for All Hope Is Gone, he showed me this...I had him lay a scratch track down in the studio . Then I went in late at night, without telling him, and laid down some drums...When he heard it the next day, he started crying . It's Corey's masterpiece ."--Joey Jordison </P>
