I have Corey to thank
Br00tal frontman of Slipknot, gingerpubes Corey Taylor has landed himself a best seller with his debut book (ugh I say “debut” as if they’ll be more, I really hope there wont be) ‘Seven Deadly Sins – Settling The Argument Between Born Bad And Damaged Good’. The book charted at position No. 26 on the New York Times “Hardcover Nonfiction” best sellers list according to Blabbermouth.
Seriously, here I am “writing” for Dose of Metal, struggling to make ends meet, and there are people like Corey Taylor “writing” about their general crap, and making millions. I also just went to see the new Harry Potter film, and if pathetic drivel like that can generate billions (there were more plot holes than there are holes in my socks), then surely I could come up with something equally “good” that will make me some money? I’m going to call it “Make a Mark – The mark on the wall, between a rock and a hard place”. I have no idea what it means, but it’s surely just pretentious enough to work.
Remember the one with Corey and Velvet Revolver?
Hey guys, remember me? I used to write for this website a long time ago (in a galaxy far, far away). Lame puns? Well, forgive me, I’m a little bit rusty. But it’s okay, that means I’m still metal, right? Get it, metal, rust? Still got it.
I’ve thought long and hard about what could make my comeback as lame as the jokes I would be using, so I naturally went to Dose of Metal’s frontpage and checked to see the last time any Corey Taylor news were posted. Nothing on the front page = start looking for some.
The article I found is about as interesting as my last article on the website is fresh (slightly more than my underwear. Fresh, that is, nothing interesting in there) — there are still rumors about Corey Taylor and Velvet Revolver floating around. What the fuck? I thought that story has been told about a gazillion times and that it’s over, and I was all ready to follow Corey’s soap with Slipknot, now all of a sudden this again? To be short and on point — Matt Sorum calls Corey a sweetheart and whatnot in some interview, and mentions they have like an album worth of songs. And it’s like super awesome. Read the interview here. Warning: clicking on that link will shrink your penis.
Need some pyjamas?
Well, you’re in luck then.
Roadrunner Records have a special competition that gives you the chance to win Corey Taylor’s (of Slipknot and Stone Sour) pyjamas. Not only that, but you can also win a copy of his autobiography, which totally isn’t self-indulgent, egotistical and about as metal as a night at the ballet.
I’d enter, but I don’t need pyjamas, as I sleep naked. I also don’t need his book as I already have toilet paper. In case you do want to enter though (and fancy owning something that’s been next to Corey’s balls), you can do so by clicking here. You’ll just have to enter some personal details, which Roadrunner totally won’t use to spam you with marketing crap, and hooray, you’re in a chance of winning Corey Taylor’s jim-jams.
Corey Talyor more positive about Slipknot
Drama, drama, drama. Drama makes the world go around, and Slipknot too, evidently.
After the on going ‘will Corey continue with Slipknot or instead pursue a pop career in a supergroup made up of The Jonas Brothers and Justin Beiber?’ saga, and with words from drummer Joey implying the band would continue with or without Taylor, it seems Corey is finally much more ‘positive’ about the band after these European shows.
According to Blabbermouth though, despite the new found positiveness in regards to Slipknot‘s return, Corey is still not keen on the idea of recording another album.
This, of course, presents some pros and cons however. Pro – No more shitty Slipknot albums in the vein of All Hope is Gone. Corey you’ve lost all your metal cred, so don’t even try to fake it. Con – Crap, this means more Stone Sour, doesn’t it?
Corey Taylor hearts Justin Bieber
Okay, the title may be a bit misleading, but that’s what we do here — we mislead people.
You know that Justin Bieber / Slipknot mash-up clip? Make the jump to see it, if you don’t. It’s called ‘Psychosocial Baby’ and it’s pretty bad. And it’s not bad because it has Bieber in it, it’s bad because it has Bieber AND Slipknot in it. That’s like a double assault on your ears.
Corey loves it though. He finds it ‘beautiful’ and ‘fucking amazing,’ so that should give you a clue as to why Stone Sour sounds the way it does.
“I thought it was great. I was just like, ‘This is fucking beautiful.’ And the way it was put together… I mean, it was so pulled apart and put back together. [Laughs] I was like, ‘This is awesome!’ And so many kids were pissed off about it that it makes me laugh. I’m like, ‘This is fucking amazing!’
You either get it or you don’t. And that’s that thing, there’s that line. So many people take it way too seriously. It’s just like, ‘God, wear a helmet. Figure it out.’“
Full interview after the jump.
In fairness, the video is put together rather well. Clearly the person responsible for it has a lot of talent. So Corey is just praising the concept, not Bieber himself, right? Wrong:
“The thing that really bothers me about so many people who talk shit about Justin Bieber — and I’m not saying I’m a fan — but the kid’s got talent. He’s got more talent than a lot of the bands that are signed out there. And you may hear the Auto-Tuning in his voice, but he doesn’t need it. He can dance, he can play, he can sing… Whatever… I don’t care. My son and my niece may love him to death, but at the end of the day, it’s like, who am I to question their taste“
You tell ’em, Corey. Who do these assholes think they are, to question YOUR taste in pop music. You like Justin Bieber, that’s fine… Some people like Stone Sour, that’s fine as well. I’m more of a Britney guy myself, she used to be hot back in the day and all.
But hey, I’m being an asshole, right? Corey is just nice to this kid cause he’s 16, he wouldn’t just insult a young kid, right? Wrong:
“Now, if you wanna talk about Rebecca Black. If I hear that [Friday] song again, I will probably beat the shit out of a nun, I’m telling you right now. That song’s so bad. I mean, it’s insultingly bad. And the lyrics are something out of ‘Sesame Street’… ”C’ is for cooking, back seat, front seat…’ Are you kidding me? Get the fuck out of my face with that shit!“
Way to go, Corey. That 14 year old kid has to be put in her place. Don’t let her get away with her crappy lyrics. She will never be a brilliant lyricist and come up with stuff like “People = shit, whatcha’ gonna do? People = shit, cuz I’m not afraid of you.”
That would never be on Sesame Street. Interview clips and mash-up, right under the cut.
