COREY TAYLOR Says STONE SOUR Has More Of A 'Human Approach' Than SLIPKNOT
May 5, 2007Alan Sculley of DesMoinesRegister.com recently conducted an interview with STONE SOUR/SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor. A few excerpts follow:
On the second STONE SOUR CD:
"I think it's going to be a turning point for this band. It's definitely drawn the line a little deeper, not only between us and the other band but also showing the whole world that this is a real band and nothing you do is going to knock back what we've done."
On whether many of the new STONE SOUR songs relate directly to Taylor's struggle to quit drinking and adjust to a new type of life:
"Obviously, if people go looking for something, they're going to find something. I can't stop that. I just wanted to be real about it because life is about more than just staying sober. Life is about everything you have to deal with now, and you can't medicate, you can't get away from it. You can't drown your problems in it. And that to me is the more interesting side of it."
On how fronting STONE SOUR is different for Taylor than it is in SLIPKNOT:
"It's more a human approach, more about the soul than it is about the spectacle. We approach it from the standpoint of, like, 'Look, there's nothing we can do that's going to touch what SLIPKNOT does.' But at the same time, that's not what we want to do. We just want to go up there and be ourselves and show that other side. I think it's really cool. It's just us and our instruments and some really great music. So it comes through."
