SLIPKNOT: Hard Rock Hotel Adding COREY TAYLOR Case

June 17, 2010

The Hard Rock Hotel in Las Vegas will unveil a special new Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT) case on July 15. The case will feature masks and uniforms that Corey has worn on stage with SLIPKNOT as well as some of his plaques, photographs and some other special memorabilia.

To celebrate this special honor, Corey will perform two solo shows at the Hard Rock. The first will be Poolside on July 16 with his JUNK BEER KIDNAP BAND. The second will be a solo acoustic show at Wasted Space in the Hard Rock.

Taylor told Billboard.com that it's "too soon" to talk about SLIPKNOT's future following the death last month of bassist Paul Gray at the age of 38. SLIPKNOT has been on a break since late last year and the band members did not give any hint of their future plans at a brief press conference they did the week of Gray's death. Taylor himself is beginning promotional efforts for "Audio Secrecy", the third album from his other band STONE SOUR, which is due out September 7. Other than his "too soon" comment, he declined to speak about Gray.

STONE SOUR issued a new song called "Mission Statement" online last week, with the free track getting downloaded over 50,000 times in a 48-hour period.

Taylor said, "I'm just sort of blown away and ecstatic. There's a lot of buzz and people are really stoked. This album is not only better than the first two STONE SOUR albums combined, to me it's the most well-rounded and diverse album I've ever been able to make."
