"The Negative One" is a song by heavy metal band Slipknot. Released on August 1, 2014, it is the band's first new song since the death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010 and the departure of drummer Joey Jordison in 2013. An accompanying video for the song premiered on their official website on August 5, 2014 however no band members were featured. Vocalist Corey Taylor told BBC Radio 1 that he saw the song as more of a "gift to the fans" than an actual single though it was still released as a digital single on iTunes and many other digital music retailers.
