Acting In The Cards For SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR Singer?
August 25, 2010STONE SOUR and SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor is a singer, a songwriter and is soon going to be a published author as well. What other fields can he conquer? Well, he does some pretty decent acting in STONE SOUR's new video for "Say You'll Haunt Me" (see below),and The Pulse of Radio asked the singer a while back if he had interest in acting in movies. "I have no aspirations to really get into acting, you know," he said. "I mean, it's something that — I've always wanted to write for movies, you know, I've always wanted to write a screenplay and I've written a couple in the past and what not. But yeah, if it happens, it happens, you know. It's not something that I pursue."
Despite being the singer for two well-known rock bands, surprisingly Taylor told The Pulse of Radio he hasn't met many actors personally. "Well, I kind of met Seth Green," he said. "We passed each other at the VMAs a couple of years ago. And he kind of — and I was in full SLIPKNOT rig, so he was just kind of like, 'Hey...' you know? And I'm a short guy but I'm still like a good foot above him, so it was like — but it was still, I was like, 'That's Seth Green right there, dude, that's awesome!' You know?"
Taylor revealed earlier this week to Attention Deficit Delirium that he has written a book about the Seven Deadly Sins, which he hopes to have published by next spring.
The singer is currently on the road with STONE SOUR as part of the Uproar festival tour, with the band's new "Audio Secrecy" album set to arrive on September 7.
A new SLIPKNOT concert DVD titled "(sic)nesses" will surface a few weeks later, on September 28.
