Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on April 08, 1972)

Happy birthday to the legendary Paul Gray—Slipknot's unforgettable #2! Your bass lines shook stadiums, rattled eardrums, and probably scared a few neighbors along the way. Who else could make wearing a mask look so effortlessly cool? You've always been Slipknot’s heartbeat beneath all that chaos.

From headlining festivals worldwide to inspiring countless musicians with your relentless energy on stage, you've left an indelible mark in metal history. Today we celebrate you—not just for your thunderous riffs or iconic jumpsuits—but also because you're proof that even masked maniacs deserve cake and balloons once a year. Rock on forever!
