Corey Taylor Speaks Out Against ‘Cancel Culture’ After Eminem Backlash
Corey Taylor, noted lead mask-wearer of Slipknot, is the latest rocker to speak out about concerns regarding “cancel culture,” but unlike System of a Down’s drummer and some of the others who have run their mouths on podcasts and such, Taylor actually brought up some good points. In a discussion on Los Angeles radio station KLOS surrounding TikTok users “canceling” Eminem due to a lyric in “Love the Way You Lie,” Taylor had strong words on the current state of things. <!– // Brid Player Singles. var _bp = _bp||[]; _bp.push({ “div”: “Brid_10143537”, “obj”: {“id”:”25115″,”width”:”480″,”height”:”270″,”playlist”:”10315″,”inviewBottomOffset”:&#...
Aston Villa interested in signing Liverpool youngster
Aston Villa are interested in signing the Liverpool youngster Rhian Brewster this summer. The 20-year-old striker was on loan at Swansea City last season and he managed to score 11 goals for them. Brewster needs to leave the club in order to play regular first-team football and it will be interesting to see if the likes of Villa can agree on a fee with Liverpool in the coming weeks. According to Independent, Sheffield United are keen on signing the young striker as well and they have already spoken to the Reds regarding a move. Liverpool value the young striker at £25 million and they are hoping to insert a buy-back clause in the contract if Brewster is sold this summer. Such a deal would be ideal for Liverpool as it would allow the player to develop with the regular first-team football el...
Watch Slipknot’s Corey Taylor’s Version of ‘(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding’
If you’ve ever wondered what it would sound like if Slipknot took a page out of Elvis Costello’s playbook and covered Nick Lowe’s “(What’s So Funny ‘Bout) Peace, Love And Understanding,” you’re one step closer to your lucky day. Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor performed the song during SiriusXM’s Octane Home Invasion Festival as he continues to promote his debut solo album, CMFT (out Oct. 2 via Roadrunner Records), so while it’s not quite the entire masked metal band performing the classic tune, it’s a whole lot more likely than it was yesterday. Of course, the veteran songwriter was in on the joke, beginning the song by proclaiming “I’ve been threatening to do a cover of this for a very, very long time and figured what better time to do it than right now ...
Slipknot’s Corey Taylor Recorded His Solo Debut Album While in Quarantine
For many years, journalists have been asking Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor not if but when he’s going to take the plunge and record a solo album. And until about a year-and-a-half ago, Taylor usually dismissed the question without giving it much more thought or insight. “But it kept coming up, for some reason, and so the more I started thinking about it, I was like, ‘Well, what the hell would it even sound like?’” Taylor tells SPIN over the phone. “I had kind of stockpiled these songs I’d written over the years, and I realized, ‘Oh, it would sound like these songs.’” If those asking were intentionally trying to subliminally plant the solo album idea in Taylor’s head, well, it worked. On Oct. 2, Roadrunner Records will release his first set of solo material, in the form of C...
The Masked Bands’ Survival Guide to Your New Masked Life
Today, there are two types of people walking around: Those willing to wear a mask to help prevent the spread of a deadly virus in COVID-19, and the unconscionable, who, either citing their natural-born freedoms or their political fealties, refuse to don any sort of a face covering, even during a pandemic that — let’s face it — was preventable. Yet, there’s still widespread mask resistance all across America — something that boggles the minds of masked musicians everywhere. When you consider there are several bands whose members spend hours on sun-drenched stages, performing in stifling latex, suppressing silicone, repressive nylon, and restricting mesh masks that typically envelop their entire faces, sporting a soft surgical mask for a few lousy minutes while pumping gas or getting groceri...
