Corey Taylor is uncertain

Corey “keep your mask and shirt on, please!” Taylor says he still had second thoughts about touring with Slipknot. Yeah, and I had second thoughts about eating a kebab. Come on now…

Good thing the ‘fan’ excuse is still popular, though.

“Honestly, I don’t know how to feel about the tour. But it’s for the fans, and for the family. We’ll see. I don’t know WHEN I’ll be ready to make an album. Might not be for years. But we will definitely play shows. We’ll see what happens“ said Corey while piercing his nipple again.

When asked if the reason Slipknot wore masks was his being too ginger for metal, Corey had no comment. He just pointed to his jetblack hair dye.

Slipknot will do Sonisphere

Just one day after Corey said he has no plans for Slipknot, the band has been announced for the Sonisphere festivals.

“We’re looking forward to spending our summer in Europe. This tour is about us and our fans. It’s about celebrating the life of our brother, Paul, and his legacy. The door is neither open nor closed. This tour is about burning down that door. See you this summer.“ said the band while adjusting their masks.

The festival will take place on 8-10 June, 2011 in the U.K., but plans are for the festival to go to the following European countries, as well: Bulgaria, Poland, Greece, Turkey, Italy, Spain, France, Sweden, The Czech Republic, Finland and Switzerland. More details soon to come on the official site.

European maggots rejoice. Slipknot fans too.

Corey Taylor has no plans for Slipknot

Despite the fact Joey Jordison has claimed that work on a new Slipknot album has begun, with the band recording in early 2011, Corey ‘I am the great big mouth’ Taylor has contradicted Joey‘s words, claiming that neither he, or “at least 5 other members” have any plans to work on a new Slipknot album.

“Before anyone gets the wrong idea, let me be clear. I have NO PLANS to make a new Slipknot album anytime soon,” said Taylor. “Shows? Maybe. Album? No. As for Joey’s comments, he took that on himself to say that in print. I can think of five people in this band who haven’t written/heard a thing.”

I seem to remember the same nonesense happening before recording both Vol 3 and All Hope is Gone though. In fact, it always seems to be Joey that’s psyched to start work on new Slipknot albums, but Corey is always too busy singing soppy ballads and being a pop star.

Merry Christmas, from Corey

Like Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez before him, Corey Taylor of Slipknot, Stone Sour and The Jonas Brothers fame released his own Christmas song. And it is now available for streaming.

Check it out, after the jump.

When asked if he’ll star in his own show on the Disney channel, Corey Taylor had no comment.

An 8 Minute video on the deaths of Dimebag and Paul Gray

Norwegian TV show “Lydverket” (web site) aired a mini-documentary about the deaths of “Dimebag” Darrell Abbott (PANTERA, SLIPKNOT) and Paul Gray (SLIPKNOT). During the eight-minute segment, which can be viewed below (with English subtitles), Vinnie Paul Abbott (PANTERA, HELLYEAH) and Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT, STONE SOUR) spoke openly about how they dealt with the losses of their bandmembers and friends, and in Vinnie’s case, his brother.

Usually, I really don’t like to just copy-and-paste news from another source, Blabbermouth in this case, but I don’t have a better description for the video myself, so I just did it now.

I’ve read and seen a lot about the death of Dimebag Darrell but I thought the video was pretty powerful and touching so it’s definitely worth a watch. Do so after the jump.
