Corey Taylor: "Our Fans Can Smell Lies Like Farts In A Car"

Tue, 12 May 2009 06:44:56 -0700

Darryl Sterdan of Canada's Toronto Sun recently conducted an interview with SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.

Toronto Sun: Why do you still live in Des Moines? Shouldn't you be closer to where the action is?

Taylor: This has been my home for so long. My family lives here, my friends live here, my kids were born here. I have a place in L.A., but this is my hub. This is the place that feels like home. I can come back and just be me, just remember why I do it and find the hunger again, basically. A lot of people move away from what inspired them in the first place. That takes the edge off their music, it takes a lot of the attitude out of it. I want to stay where I've got inspiration around me all the time.

Toronto Sun: The frustrations and limitations of life in Middle America have always informed your music. Co...

New Video Interview With COREY TAYLOR Available

Tue, 10 Mar 2009 03:25:21 -0700

Buck of the 104.1 The Edge radio station conducted an interview with SLIPKNOT vocalist Corey Taylor prior to the band's March 4, 2009 concert at Tingley Coliseum in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Watch the 10-minute chat below.

Taylor caused a stir in January when he revealed plans to make his first solo album sometime in the next year. The biggest question for fans was what would happen with Taylor's other group, STONE SOUR, whose last effort, "Come What(ever) May", surfaced in 2006. Taylor told The Pulse of Radio that he's keeping his priorities straight when it comes to new projects. "I think what got people up in arms is the fact that, you know, it was a question of what was going to come first, solo album or STONE SOUR?" he said. "What it comes down to is that we've put a lot of work into STONE SOUR, and for me to turn around and put out a solo album first would kind of destroy the foundation that we've built for STONE SOUR. So starting this fall, we ar...

Corey Taylor Ready To Watch The 'Watchmen'

Tue, 24 Feb 2009 03:34:38 -0800

According to The Pulse of Radio, SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor happens to be a huge comic book geek, and if there's one thing he's looking forward to this year, it's next month's long-awaited release of the movie "Watchmen", based on a graphic novel that's considered by many fans as the Holy Grail of comic books. Taylor explained to The Pulse of Radio why he's "stoked" for the movie's March 6 arrival. "This is a movie that a lot of people have been waiting 20 years for, and I am ecstatic," he said. "I mean, just from the trailers I've seen, it looks incredible. I think the casting was done really well. I think it's got the potential. I'll be off the road and I'll be able to go to a theater and go see this movie. I think it's gonna be really good. I'm hoping it's going to be really good."

SLIPKNOT is currently in the midst of a 33-city headlining tour that stops in Tulsa, Oklahoma on Monday (February 23).

The band will headline Columbus, Ohio's Rock On The Range festival in May and will hit the European festival circuit in June and July.
