COREY TAYLOR Jammed 'A Bunch Of Stuff' With VELVET REVOLVER

While the rumored team-up of STONE SOUR/SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor with VELVET REVOLVER never officially took off, VELVET guitarist Slash did confirm that the band got together with Taylor to jam and even record some new material. The Pulse Of Radio asked Taylor what they worked on at those sessions. "We did a bunch of stuff, you know," he said. "We did a bunch of stuff from the first album, we did a bunch of stuff that we had been kind of demoing back and forth and whatnot, seeing if it would work, you know, just like that, and it was a lot of fun, man. You know, we ended up writing a bunch of stuff as well and just kind of seeing what would happen in that creative sense, you know."

Slash admitted in a recent interview that he was the main reason why Taylor didn't get the frontman job, explaining, "It just didn't seem to fit right to me. And he's great, and I love Corey, but it didn't seem like the answer to the VELVET REVOLVER problem."

Taylor told a Canadian radio station after hearing of Slash's comments, "I guess it just wasn't working for him, which . . . He's Slash and he's entitled to have that, and I'm not gonna argue with him. But it was cool to just be able to get together and jam with those guys and I made some really cool friends."

VELVET REVOLVER doesn't look likely to hire anyone to sing for them for a while, with Slash prepping a second solo album and bassist Duff McKagan on the road with his own side band, LOADED.

STONE SOUR is on the road and plays in Council Bluffs, Iowa on Friday (May 13). Taylor will reunite with SLIPKNOT for a series of summer festival gigs in Europe.
