COREY TAYLOR Performs Acoustically On Philadelphia's 93.3 WMMR (Audio)

Corey Taylor from SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR came by the studio of the 93.3 WMMR radio station in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on Wednesday, May 4 to chat with Jaxon and play a few live acoustic songs on the air. Listen as they talk about Corey's new book, family, guitars, solo work and small-town livin'. The highlight of the interview is Corey playing two acoustic songs: STONE SOUR's "Hesitate" and a cover of TOM PETTY's "You Got Lucky". Check it out at this location.

Taylor said in a new interview with a Grand Rapids, Michigan radio station that SLIPKNOT's upcoming European tour its first since the death last May of bassist Paul Gray is a "baby step" to see where the group goes next. Taylor said, "Nothing is happening immediately; I can tell everyone that. We have no plans for an album, we have no plans to do anything other than this tour at the moment. But if it goes well, if everyone is able to kind of pull together and really do what's right for Paulie, then we'll see what happens."

Regarding the public comments of other members like Shawn Crahan and Joey Jordison, who have insisted that they want to make a new album, Taylor added, "The only thing we've really sat down together as a band and talked about was the tour, and what we're gonna do and whatnot. But I'm not the guy who's gonna sugarcoat anything, I'm not the one who's gonna spoonfeed false hope to the fans, especially about something like this. If this tour doesn't work, this band might be over straight up. And I'm not gonna lie; I'm not the guy that's going to lie to the fans."

Taylor did tell The Pulse Of Radio that even if this is SLIPKNOT's last tour, he'd like to see the band play the U.S. one last time. "It really depends on what happens in Europe," he said. "If it's meant to go on, it'll be very obvious to us within the first show. But even if it was our last tour, it would be good to, you know, at least do a U.S. run and just kind of let the audience say goodbye."

The singer made his remarks while on the road with his other band, STONE SOUR, as part of the Avalanche Tour.

Taylor also firmly put to rest speculation that he was going to become the new singer in VELVET REVOLVER, saying, "At the end of the day, we got together, we jammed, some guys were feeling it, some weren't. It is what it is. And the last thing I need is a 12th band."

SLIPKNOT drummer Joey Jordison said in a recent interview that the band will carry on "with or without Taylor," although it should be noted that the interview with Taylor was conducted before Jordison's remarks were made public.
