Nickname: Balls 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, Anal 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. Masks MEANING: "Right now it represents breathing problems and it's somewhat more uncomfortable than the last ones" Mail Paul at 2@slipknot2.com INSTRUMENT: Warwick Corvette Bass Carvan Eden WT Head Ampeg 8X10 Cab Bands: First band- 1989- 1991: VeXX Josh from Slipknot was guitarist/singer Paul from Slipknot was bassist Anders was drummer Second band- 1991- 1993: Inveigh Catharsis Same line-up as above However with a new wave of popularity in death metal, Paul formed a new band, named, Body Pit.
