Because if it’s on the stage then a dancer can trip on it.”“I love that you bought presents and that is so nice, but just, can you please not throw them on the stage,” she said.

Corey Taylor has opened up about Slipknot‘s ‘Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses’ and revealed that making the LP “was just as big a risk as making” ‘Iowa‘.While appearing on Seton Hall’s Pirate Radio, 89.5 FM WSOU in support of his latest LP ‘CMF2‘, the Slipknot frontman reflected on the band’s 2004 album which will celebrate its 20th anniversary next year.‘Vol.

Corey Taylor has recalled the moment he first met Ozzy Osbourne, when the Black Sabbath frontman asked if he could be the tenth member in Slipknot.The Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman, who recently released his second solo album ‘CMF2‘, was reflecting on how his band got on the line-up at Ozzfest in 1999.“The reason Slipknot got onto Ozzfest [in 1999] is because we were [Ozzy’s son] Jack’s favourite band,” Taylor shared in a new interview with Classic Rock magazine (via Louder Sound). “Sharon gave us a little more leeway because of that.

Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has revealed that he began releasing solo music as he felt he wasn’t getting the credit he deserved for writing with his two bands.Speaking to Paste Magazine to promote his recently released sophomore solo album ‘CMF2’, Taylor – who was a member of Stone Sour before Slipknot – spoke of the “misconception around who was writing what for what band”.“When Stone Sour first started, not only was I playing guitar constantly, but I was also the lead guitarist and main writer. Honestly, one of the reasons why I was very adamant about starting my solo thing is that there was a weird misconception around who was writing what for what band,” Taylor said.Taylor said on the Stone Sour front: “Maybe this is where my ego comes into play, but I felt like I wasn’t getting the credit for the things I was actually writing.

Corey Taylor has opened up about how Metallica frontman James Hetfield helped him to feel less alone as he tried to get sober.The Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman has been sober since 2010, following years spent dealing with alcohol and drug issues.“[I was] dealing with my own various addictions and fighting the depression that I had to deal with for years — the trauma that kind of came from when I was growing up,” Taylor told Consequence Of Sound in a new interview.He went on to add that these traumas included being sexually abused and growing up without a father figure.Taylor then pointed towards Hetfield as one of the people who “helped me kind of figure it out” when it came to sobriety.“When he first started his journey, getting sober and getting healthy and whatnot, I looked at that, and I was, like, ‘Well, shit, if he’s strong enough to do it, maybe I can try it’,” he said. “[Sobriety] had a big enough effect on me that, over the years, I’ve really tried to stick with it.

Corey Taylor has once again opened up about the physical demands of touring with Slipknot, saying that it is “hard fucking work”.The frontman, who will turn 50 in December, said over the summer that he thinks he has “maybe five years left” of touring to this level with the masked band.Taylor explained that he would continue to perform live “as long as [he] can physically do it”, but said he’d “help [Slipknot] find somebody” to take over should he decide to retire from the road.Now, in a new interview with Rock Feed, the vocalist has spoken further on how long he thinks Slipknot can go on, and how his various physical ailments can impact his job in a live setting.“I’ve already said that physically I maybe have five years left, but at the same time, I go out of my way to really try to take care of myself,” he told the outlet (via Blabbermouth).“Now I have a lot of fucking miles on me. It’s hard for me. People don’t realise this, but when I walk, I’m almost in constant pain.

Corey Taylor has revealed which Slipknot songs he personally thinks are the most over-rated and most under-rated in a new interview.The discussion took place in a new interview with Revolver, in which the Stone Sour and Slipknot frontman revealed his personal opinion on the latter’s extensive discography.Since joining the line-up in 1997, and the band now having seven studio albums under their belt, Taylor admitted, perhaps unsurprisingly, that there are some tracks that he doesn’t necessarily enjoy performing.In the interview, he recalled that the song from their discography that he finds most overrated is the hit track ‘Wait And Bleed’ – one of the many fan-favourites captured within their 1999 self-titled album.“I’m very much on the record saying that ‘Wait and Bleed’ is a pain in my fucking ass,” he began. “I’ve been singing it for 26 years and it hasn’t gotten easier, folks!“But I still sing it with Slipknot and with my solo project, which tells you how much of a psycho I am, because I know people love that song,” he added.
