Corey Taylor
Corey Taylor has got a lot to say, which is precisely why millions affectionately know him as “The Great Big Mouth.”
The Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman never minces words either on record or on stage, and that’s what’s solidified him as one of hard rock’s most important singers. Corey’s words have helped carry Slipknot and Stone Sour to multi-platinum status, solidifying both bands as veritable pop culture presences. From Slipknot’s Grammy-winning “Before I Forget” to radio hits such as Stone Sour’s “Through Glass,” his voice and lyrics continue to resonate with fans worldwide. However, he’s only begun to truly say what’s on his mind. Iowa stays in his heart. Born and raised in Des Moines, in many ways, Corey’s never left. He started Stone Sour at 19, and the band grew to become a local favorite. However, Sipknot soon came calling. Approached at his night job by the nine-man metal maelstrom, Corey joined Slipknot. Combining a cathartic, chaotic growl with an undeniable and unforgettable melodic sensibility, he created a sound that the world had never heard. Oscillating like a guillotine from guttural growls to infectiously invasive choruses, Corey instantly clicked with a generation on Slipknot’s now legendary 1999 self-titled debut. Songs like “(sic)” and “Surfacing” became anthems of disillusionment, while “Wait and Bleed” and “Purity” showed just how much range Corey has. The album swept hard rock by storm, quickly reaching platinum status and scaring the world into belief. Performing blistering sets on Tattoo the Earth 2000 and OZZfest 2001, Corey and Slipknot’s second record, Iowa, ripped through the Billboard Charts and reinforced the phenomenon.
For Corey, it’s about creating music that lasts and, of course, saying something. “Nobody is only one side,” he says. “Everybody is multi-faceted and multi-dimensional. I don't want to be that cardboard cutout rock star. I never have, and I never will. I want to be the guy who wants to have it all. I want to be David Bowie. I want to be Trent Reznor. Those are the people I aspire to be. At the end of the day, I merely want to be a great songwriter who has no fear when it comes to creating. The older I've gotten, the better my writing's gotten. I take more risks, and I say more than I've ever said in the past.”
Corey leaves off, “I came from Des Moines, and I get to live a dream that I never would’ve imagined. As an artist, a friend, a father and a songwriter, I’ll never stop challenging myself. You can be whatever you want. I'm living proof. Just the fact that I have a career should tell you that anything is possible.”
