Slipknot's Corey Taylor reveals the pivotal moments and songs that have shaped his life

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor chats exclusively to Matt Everitt revealing the pivotal moments and songs that have shaped his life and career.

Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor chats exclusively to Matt Everitt revealing the pivotal moments and songs that have shaped his life and career. 

Slipknot have assaulted the senses of audiences around the world with their aggressive musical style, terrifying masks, and chaotic, energetic live shows since the late 90s.

As one of the most successful heavy metal groups of their generation they have claimed six Top 40 singles and four Top 5 albums in the UK, including a Number 1 with ‘Iowa’ in 2001, which denied The Strokes’ debut album ‘This Is It’ of the top spot. Eighteen years later, in 2019, their album ‘We Are Not Your Kind’ topped the charts. To date Slipknot have sold over 30 million albums worldwide.

In this interview Matt peels back the mask as Corey talks about his turbulent early life growing up in a trailer in the Mid-West of America, the moment he decided to join the world’s most nightmare-inducing band, his battles with addiction, and his deep love for the music of Faith No More, Prince, Public Enemy and Ray Lamontagne.

First broadcast in 2021.
