Sonisphere rock and metal fans fell in silence
Sonisphere rock and metal fans fell in silence in respect at 2.00 the festival's organizers and the band's first UK appearance since his death as Slipknot honoured late bassist Paul Gray.Sonisphere Festival
Week period of time, thousands gathered at the festival site and fell silent.
The PA boomed out Slipknot’s ‘Vermilion Part 2’ ahead of the remembrance. In a last interview Corey Taylor explained the poignant idea behind the song
Taylor says, “The differences (between the two tracks) are subtle — ‘Vermilion, Pt. 1′ is about the enrapturing, the buildup, the anticipation and the neurosis”
“‘Part 2′ is the aftermath, the pieces that have to be picked up later, and maybe the guilt of having lived through it.”
Radio presenter and Hexes frontman addressed the audience simply saying:
“You all know why we’re here, right?
“The band are all here and they want you to know that they are eternally grateful and Paul Gray would be very touched”

Galbraith had this to say about the two aforementioned bands: "They're both two that we're talking to, amongst a whole list of others. I also think we could have Green Day and Blink-182 here, but none of those are confirmed."
He went on to address the capacity of the event: "Sonisphere at Knebworth is 60,000 capacity and our current intention is that it will stay like that for the foreseeable future, we're not looking for it to become a mega festival. We're not looking to create a 100,000 capacity festival."

Interview footage video from Sonisphere
Sonisphere Festival was held July 8-10 2011 at Knebworth House, Onslaught Radio conducted an interview with bassist Martin Mendez of Swedish progressive metallers OPETH at the U.K Sonisphere festival.Sonisphere Festival
Some interview footage video from Sonisphere you can see below:
In a recent interview with Radio Metal, OPETH vocalist/guitarist Mikael Åkerfeldt stated about "Heritage", "I never heard music like that, so I can't compare it to other bands. If you want to compare it to another band, it has to be us. But still, it's different. For me, it kind of makes sense, because I've been doing this for such a long time. So it's not a massive departure for me and for the guys in the band. But for fans, if they are, for example, into 'My Arms, Your Hearse' [OPETH's third album, released in 1998], it might be a bit different. But I'm hoping that a lot of people are ready for this type of album from us. The music is all over the place. It's hard to define the album and say it sound like this or like that. There are no songs that represent more the album than any other songs. It's an album as whole. You can't listen to only one song and you'll know what the album is going to be like. Because, like I said, it's all over the place."
