Corey Taylor Slipknot Interview Pt 1

[aullaralaluna]

why not take up the option for being the new Velver Revolver Vocalist?

[Blue983]

I'd be like 'ripping off artists by torrentig is hella gay'

[ElPeruanoUFO]

My personal opinion is that whoever is interviewing needs a microfone

[hannaWuBo]

that mask... what it's smell ._. ?

[Exphyxia]

His hand movements are weird.

[StuntBoy95]

@Exphyxia His hand is weird :S

[korndawgz420]

think that hair stays with the mask? or is it his hair? any ideas

[stix471]

@korndawgz420 its his hair, the mask just kinda wraps around his head :)

[Jorvas25]

This dude is brilliant, he's got an awesome voice, talent, charisma and how clever are his lyrics, and cmon the answers here are fantastic.

[xXC0DExR3DXx]

Bands blow up a little and get big egos.... were were ten steps ahead of every other bad. lolololol.

[PhoenixFlame182]

:P i love how he can't keep his hands still

[abc10thousands]

i bought cd and i think it worth :P

[MMusashi420]

That mask's got to be annoying to wear, though I'm sure he's gotten used to it.

[tweetymr]

@Corey Taylor: Thanks! now I know, you know?

[Dannyfrenchsfp]

HAHAHAHAHA he even wears his costume in interviews.... hahahah what a d-bag

[SlicerOfBones]

@Dannyfrenchsfp Only with slipknot related interviews or with interviews before/after a concert. You can find plenty of interviews with him without his costume, like when the intrview focuses more just on him or his other band (Stone Sour).

[diablokmerlin]

@Dannyfrenchsfp its right before a show moron..

[Andromedamilad]

LINKIN PARK

[number1rko]

@Andromedamilad linkin park < slipknot!!

[Andromedamilad]

@number1rko No WAY :D

[XavieRibeiro25]

@Andromedamilad Old Linkin Park >>>>> New Linkin Park = Shit!

[Andromedamilad]

@XavieRibeiro25 they are not that bad now ;)

[guitarshop40]

@XavieRibeiro25 you can't expect a band to do the same thing year after year. bands progress because it keeps things interesting.

[XavieRibeiro25]

@guitarshop40 You're right.. but LP isn´t interesting now.. 

[guitarshop40]

@XavieRibeiro25 yeah i understand, i prefer their old stuff too

[XoRr0WBi7ch]

HES AWESOME

[MrNadie000]

I dislike to Like Top Comments !!!

[MrGrizmint]

love the people blindly thinking hes being so profound here when hes just spouting off bullshit before a show.

[skullkidforlife1]

Wait is his mask gluded to his face I'm not trolling

[riffraffsi]

take off your mask you freak. grow up

[TheBigdev23]

@riffraffsi dumb fucking troll

[Bebsyfication]

@riffraffsi fk offfff

[1111krol]

@riffraffsi grow up? why. why the hell should he. if he wants to wear a mask as a part of himself there is no valid reason why he shouldnt. now get the fuck out.

[mikeytheSk8r]

Screw u c1pepers but there Awdime 2

[DahvieVanityInsanity]

is it just me or does he sound slightly similar to andy biersack? o_o

[courageous93]

@DahvieVanityInsanity It's the smoking they both do.

[DahvieVanityInsanity]

@courageous93 oh /:

[xnemesisx09]

@C1phers totally different faggot

[Metman19]

lady gaga?

[jeermarff]

Giving a interview with a mask is kind of silly...

[Cm5495fx]

@jeermarff its right before a show

[pepparmostheelder]

@jeermarff They've done plenty unmasked ones but its also such a big part of slipknots identity that many non-fans wouldnt even relize who he was without his mask : /

[gjmatamoros]

i still buy CDs :)

[vakashi93]

you know

[AbbasM00SVI]

Did anyone else notice he keeps doing those kinda movements with his right hand fingers?

[Ov3rKiLL867]

Dont get my couch dirty Corey

[skangmox]

yuk

[leftbehind099]

woah!!! corey needs some soap! Look at his hands.... Your still awsome......MAGGOT FOREVER!!!

[xxFlacoXD]

Slipknot SUCKSSSSS!!!!

[Shookera09]

@xxFlacoXD I say that u are just bullshit.. and gtfo from here if u don't like them! ^^

[Ler106]

@xxFlacoXD That's great if you have your own opinion. What I dont understand is why you search and click into a video intentionally that you don't even like?

[xxFlacoXD]

@Ler106 I was looking at another video and I seen this so I thought I'd come by and say "Hey You Suck" LOL

[ClaraVivendi]

Actually prefer him with his mask- love it! :D

[7heFallen]

Kay , I was lookin' at Corey's hand nearly the entire time. It looks soooooooo brutal ! Its fuckin dope!

[gothicdisaster01]

he looks freeky lol 

[MW23aglez]

Omg i heard him say ''you know..'' and then throughout the rest of the video i got annoyed of hearing it

[whatkindofdirt]

Yes, Corey can talk very well.. but there's a big differnce between talking (shit) and singing :O

[hardyboyzwwf]

@TheSicdic NO

[OMGANDHI1]

Any1 have a video on making a corey taylor mask like this

[murderousintent]

he looks a bit pale 

[SovietAgression]

hate itunes. i only buy CD's

[ItsNigelBows]

@SovietAgression your just a retard

[MrMacman1234]

he says ya know alot ya know

[deathrek2]

TL;DR lol jk

[Stevemcsteve]

You know?

No, I don't know, Corey Taylor.

[Menkalo]

"Ya know" 57 times <3

[DannyThurston]

Okay please correct me if i'm wrong but from what I counted...Corey says "Ya Know" exactly 50 times.

[Menkalo]

@DannyThurston 57, actually :P But close <3

[dloban15]

YES! Someone understands the whole CD thing! When I find an album I love, I stream it, listen to it a billion times, and then when it comes out, run like a madman to Target or Best Buy and then begins the "journey" for that album. I love it.

[golerakkkk]

I completely agree with him about the CD buying/downloading. Specially the ritual about getting a cd. I also rather buy a cd than downloading it. And if i can't get it new, then ill try second hand stores, e-bay, anything. Cause having a CD really does up the value of the music. And what ups the value of music the most, is having a vinyl of it.

+1 for Corey Taylor

[SlipknotPaul1237]

Rap music talks more about drugs and sex than metal, metal actually deals with life and living through it.

[TF2Nick]

@SlipknotPaul1237

Sense...

This made None.

[TheCrispism]

@SlipknotPaul1237 someone obviously never listened to tupac....

[SmackBear2SmckCat]

@SlipknotPaul1237 I like how you think, but that would be for mainstream music, I know many metal bands that suck balls and many rappers who talk about real life and in the same way it can be the other way around. I think that there are all kinds bands and rappers, it depends were you get the music in all honesty.

[77SuInG]

rap is like metal. there is not just one type of rap and there isn't just one type of metal. just fucking stop making generalisations...

[garyhicks09]

Thumbs up if you think Corey underestimated the band when he called themselves "mid-level."

[NorwaySlipknotMaggot]

20 people are faggots .

[FrankBlocc]

I love listening to Corey Taylor. If he gets the simplest question ever, like "How are you today?" he'd answer with a book called "This is how I am today, next question".

[DiamondColt]

@FrankBlocc Opposite of Chris Fehn lol 

[mrlivingimpaired]

Fuckin A'

[prasenjit815]

agreeed slipknot rocks 

[UbSm4nn]

I was actually surprised he sounds normal. When he sings he's like really heavy and raw and speaking he sounds so normal, nice and polite.

Don't git me wrong, Slipknots awsome!

[JAB63096]

@UbSm4nn His voice back 10-11 years ago when he was still drinking and on drugs was insane. Look up some older videos. He sounds insanely relaxed.

[UbSm4nn]

@JAB63096 OK, they're scary... O.O

[NJROTCAREA12TP]

@UbSm4nn yes corey sings and another person sings with him to

[aintnopity]

@UbSm4nn ever heard of Stone Sour?

[UbSm4nn]

@aintnopity Of course! Corey was in it!

[aintnopity]

@UbSm4nn so, he doesnt scream there ( at least not as much as in Slipknot songs)

[UbSm4nn]

@aintnopity Yeah, but I like Slipknot a little more, I think. I dunno why, I just do.

[GamingSpades]

This Video Shouldn't Even Have A Button Corey Taylor Ftw :)

[TheSikhon]

i prefer slipknot masked more than unmasked.

[andrewcairns11]

@TheSikhon I agree

[Xxienjoymarshmellows]

I love Corey. :) I agree with him everything in songs these days are autotuned a looooot with no real instruments.

[kaynify]

for sure man when i bought architects album i listened to all the songs and love all of the songs way more than any other artists ive downloaded

[TheUndeadsoldier96]

what he said about buying the cd i totally agree with, it took me forever to get bat country by a7x then when best buy had it and i bought it it sounded alot better then if i had downloaded

[1111krol]

damn he's right. the music does sound sweeter when you buy it

[alex0workman]

saying rap is talentless is a ridiculous statement. most of it is thought up on the spot. im not into rap that much but saying its talentless is idiotic

[TheUndeadsoldier96]

@alex0workman rhyming words dont take much talent buddy..

[callmepapacuff]

In every interview I've seen of him, he is always moving his fingers on his right hand...

[Opawhale]

@callmepapacuff Its his mic hand... I do the same thing when Im not playing guitar... move my fingers!

[callmepapacuff]

@Opawhale Yea now that I think about it, I do too...I play guitar and drums, so I'm always tapping on something lol...I played drums first, so my legs are always double bassing it, or my hands are hitting something :P

[sbomb1988]

walls of Jericho!!!!!

[Ramoa111]

He reminds me so much of one Phil Anselmo

[TheEternalHigh]

911 likes... Hohoo

[Illumirage]

The older you get, the less people will understand what he means about, 'the journey' to attain that badass album. Kinda sad. I know most of you probably know what he's talking about, the tangible jewel-case, the artwork, the lyrics often times, photos, etc.

Nothing can replace that in my opinion, totally agree w/ him.

[ThatReporterKid]

Great interview

[OrgyAtMyPlaceNOW]

He has a very intellectual insight into the music industry.

That is why he is my favorite artist. Hes got talent and intellegence.

Thumbs Up.

[acidkomodo]

back in the old days, it was a craft. nowadays, it's a crap..

[bulgarin1000]

i think he can see into my soul

[Notas149]

@bulgarin1000 and i think you are retarded.

[SlayingMinion]

i'm sure many feel he's alone in his "journey" to buy physical cds instead of downloading them...

[SlayingMinion]

lol, to me, him saying "making/ breaking ground" (musically) is the same as selling out (eg: making an acoustic ep w/ the band Walls of Jericho)...

[Stephie49601]

Whoever said rap isn't music is wrong. Yeah, most rap out there is crap, but there are some rappers out there who have a lot of talent. Just cuz you're not a fan, doesn't mean it's the reason for this era's low talent music.

And Corey's right about the CD buying thing. Buying a CD and going through all the racks just to find the right album, is well worth the money and time opose to just sitting on your butt and clicking on a button not really taking much thought into your music.

[Slicknificent]

@Stephie49601 I totally agree

[odinkrigsgott]

such a wise man...i love him ;D

[optimisticcosmic]

Real story is music wasn't meant to be a gigantic money making Industry.....there are only so many legit songs that can be made (Like finding a diamond) 

[sqeker09]

@darksatoosa amen

[basbas63]

I download music.. but when i like it enough i buy the cd's thats why i have a lot of cd's from: slipknot, within tempation, nightwish, dire straits, guns n roses, disturbed, dragon force, hammerfall, and Omnia..

and oh.. great chance you never heard about omnia ^^

[GuitarGoddess150]

wow he's such a civil guy here! but when he's singing he's like the monster of heavy metal! =)

[maxim377]

Corey "You know" Taylor

[ChemicalAtTheDisco]

haha xD He's an awesome guy (:

[xXxGutlessWonderxXx]

@XtCxGaming Win :P <3

[Slipknot2RIP]

18 fuckers listen to rap

[CreepinessFTW]

He's lovely :)

[jayembyrd27]

ppl think these guys are devil worshippers but the truth is they are al pretty smart guys.

[gaskket]

i love his brain

[spillane2007]

17 people are part of sissy disney bands

[firemonkey4me]

I've bought all of their cd's And i never regret it

And i buy cd's all the time

Yes i download... but so i can listen to what it sounds like before i buy it.

Then i'll buy it ^.^

[deepengrave]

He buy Cds thats legendary man im on that road too, no downloads!!!!

[Wodenator1996]

@deepengrave No one should download tard

[deepengrave]

@Wodenator1996 should, but people do so.

[Wodenator1996]

@deepengrave Killing the industry

[Jcart2012]

Corey talking about the technology,It's very interesting,It's not the same to talk about technology like fans,that it means talk like a real Artist like corey!!!

[MrFat1722]

Love how he still wears the mask

[blackveilsbride58]

corey taylor has a target sign on his eye

[RandomUnicornGirl]

@blackveilsbride58 cuz target is awesome

[06katyd]

@YoungWayne310 sorry could you rewrite that in english please?

[YoungWayne310]

ill beat these bitch ass niggaz ta tha ground slipknot be a bunch of phony ass nigguhs yea fill me if those niggaz came da compton theyll gitt fukkn stompt yea DEEEG

[tobiaskiba]

@YoungWayne310 Are you looking for an intellectual discussion?? If so, I think you are approaching it wrong. And btw it doesn't seem like you are a Slipknot fan so why are you watching this video in the first place?

[MissChikki777]

@tobiaskiba I had to laugh at your response to that asshole, well worded my friend :)

[spursfan112]

@YoungWayne310 lol wut?

[MonsterMitch73]

Corey Taylor and Slipknot are the sound of living

[durp6969]

50 cent reference, nice

[longmage4]

justin bieber got auto tuned to death.

[weoweyowiowe]

@longmage4 too bad he never actually died from it

[unnamed715]

Hahah I love how he referred to 50 Cent Get Rich or Die Trying. That was kinda funny, it's not too often you see the lead singer from a metal band refer to a rapper. XD

[ExplosionSadFace]

@unnamed715 Did you know 50 Cent Is also A Big Time Business Man Dumbass.

[andrewcairns11]

@ExplosionSadFace 50 cent is good, but this is metal, not 50 cent music.

[Markt666]

I swear that in 1000 years Bieber will be like... Jesus in History xD

[DaGrimReaperIl]

@Markt666 o.O Bieber will be like a rat canadian girl in histroy.

[WWEFANJOE98]

what i love about slipknot

people say there crap live, but do they lip sync like the person whos name i will not say!

STAY SIC

[Tzchesyslays]

@WWEFANJOE98 Whoever says Slipknot is crap live, must be deaf and is missing out on the whole experience .

[CuttingOliver]

@WWEFANJOE98 who ever says slipknot is crap live needs to go to one of their shows, theyve won the kerrang best live act a few times now,, they are an amazing live show

[mgdth502]

I'm happy I don't know how to use technology! I'd rather just be a good guitar player...

[cobyhamboy0298]

I agree with everything this guy said. Our generation is defiantly the era of horrible music. Rap requires no talent, just slow mumbling and a genius behind the star, making the beats. I'm not the biggest slipknot fan but this guy definatly had some great points. Technology is lowering the standard for musicians

[Slicknificent]

@cobyhamboy0298 Rap does take talent,and it is lyricism,if rappers dont have talent you disrespect every poet which involves Paul Gray. So you're discrediting him in the process of making a bias point against hip hop you only know about from the mainstream.

[Slicknificent]

@cobyhamboy0298 Plus,if rap doesnt require talent why did Slipknot's own disk jockey and turntablist work with rapper Necro?

[dasin7]

@Slicknificent not mention some of slipknots and stone sours songs have elements of rap well atleast spit it out and get inside. also making hiphop beats is actually pretty hard i've tried and couldnt come up with a decent bar lol I think every type of music takes some kind of talent but not all musicians put forth that full effort

[KathornGrey]

@cobyhamboy0298 Ever listened to stone sour?

[fairwfriend]

@cobyhamboy0298 Check out Watsky. ;)

[RDprodx]

@cobyhamboy0298

Even though Corey Taylor rapped quite a lot on the first album.

Rap does require a good tongue, not TOO much talent but let's face it, 99% of us can't pull it off

[Slicknificent]

@RDprodx If 99 percent of people can't do it,it does acquire alot of talent.

[RDprodx]

@Slicknificent

well yeah, but I meant that some people have to have the right 'persona'. but yeah you're right :P

[bigblackbeasty]

@cobyhamboy0298 There is some rap talent, such as speaking so fast without stuterring, I listen to as little rap as possible, only if im feeling like listening to somethign as such, though I like Slipknot alot more.

[tech9boarder]

@bigblackbeasty ya im with ye, but there wouldnt be much difference between the two xpt for the eargasm slipknot gives you, n what i mean by that, well, im talking about songs like Spit it out.

[tech9boarder]

@cobyhamboy0298 eh, if it werent for rap i wouldnt be able to sing spit it out, lol. n what u and him are saying is true, if it werent for the technology today, rebecca black and justin beiber wouldnt even existed, then we all would be happy XD

[LisaSnicket]

@cobyhamboy0298 idc if u dont like rap but people shouldnt judge rap based on people like waka flocka. rap is about clever lyrics and the meaning behind them. not about booty shaking hoes and gold chains. underground rap is where real hip hop is, not mainstream -_-

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@cobyhamboy0298 Dude, I'm getting tired of shit heads dogging on rap. Go listen to some good rap, instead of focusing on Soulja Boy, and shit like that. There's more to music than Maiden and AC/DC.

[TheMadameMUSIC]

@cobyhamboy0298 I dont think thats true. rap just isnt about having sex and smoking drugs. Some of the things that artists rap about are things that are going on in their life and what they dont like and what they have experienced, which is the same as heavy metal and rock to be honest.

[Electronic91Videos]

@cobyhamboy0298

Wow, this is pretty ignorant, you must have never listened to real rap. Deltron 3030, Army Of The Pharaohs, Jurassic-5, Dr. Octagon, The Roots, Non Phixion, Shing02, the list goes on and on.

[macedonianwolf]

music is not free...
