Heavy-metal musicians were quick to react to the death of Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, as news spread online in a manner all too familiar to a community still reeling from the recent deaths of legendary singer Ronnie James Dio and Type O Negative frontman Peter Steele.
"I'm so crushed to hear about the passing of Paul Gray," Shadows Fall singer Brian Fair told MTV News.

The shocking news about the passing of Avenged Sevenfold drummer Jimmy Sullivan — known to fans as the Rev — has hit the rock world exceptionally hard. While police have declared that there was no foul play involved in his passing, the initial autopsy was deemed "inconclusive," and it will be a few weeks before we find out what lead to his death.
Regardless, Avenged Sevenfold have an army of fans, industry friends and collaborators who have reached out in the Rev's memory. God Forbid guitarist Doc Coyle issued a statement, in which he said, "I just wanted to send our deepest condolences on behalf of God Forbid to Avenged Sevenfold and Jimmy's family and close friends after news of his passing. God Forbid got to know Jimmy and the rest of the band when we took A7X out on tour in 2002 when they were a brand new band,...

Gramercy's "Keys to Tulsa" might also be titled "Tulsaville". It's a swirling, saucy mix of Southwestern intrigue and turpitude. Headed by a first-rate ensemble cast, including Mary Tyler Moore and James Coburn, "Keys'" roiling dramatics are unfortunately short-changed by an atonal ending and some abrupt shifts in story emphasis.
Overall, select-site viewers may savor its thick and saucy atmospherics despite the thick-and-thin narrative.
In this oily saga, Eric Stoltz stars as Richter Boudreau, a self-admitted "black sheep son of a black sheep," who despite his smug outsider sensibility finds himself smack-dab back in the privileged world he so cavalierly disdains. Like "Dallas" and other gushy potboilers, "Tulsa" is aswirl with trouble and outfitted with bigger-than-life characters where everyone not only has hidden agendas but knows how to play them out with the most skilled and cunning virtuosity.
The more "normal" people who keep up the front -- including Richter's mother (Moore), who's on her umpteenth marriage -- are also pretty lethal.
The plot itself gushes around a bizarre and somewhat convoluted blackmail scheme that Richter finds himself embroiled in. Although he prides himself on his smarts, he soon finds he's matched against some crazed and cunning foes. Thematically and stylistically, "Keys to Tulsa" is Okie Gothic, awash with the dense delirium of yarns one usually associates with the Deep South. Credit goes to producer-director Leslie Greif for infusing "Tulsa" with its musty, murky tones.
The look is especially vital: kudos to production designer Derek R. Hill, whose opulently decadent look clues us to the inner beings of the characters, and to cinematographer Robert Fraisse for the harsh hues.
Unfortunately, the narrative's somewhat fractured nature -- vacillating between sardonic humor and soap operatics -- is, alas, an oil-and-water mix.
The acting is, perhaps, "Tulsa"'s strength, with Stoltz delivering a wonderfully conflicted performance as the braggadociousbut boondoggled "black sheep." Moore is a delight as his amoral, high-society, serial-marrying mother, while Coburn flashes his wily menace as a bartender you don't mess with. Dudded up in a neo-Elvis look, James Spader is spookily threatening as a cross-wired wacko.
