Corey Taylor: "Our Fans Can Smell Lies Like Farts In A Car"

Darryl Sterdan of Canada's Toronto Sun recently conducted an interview with SLIPKNOT frontman Corey Taylor. A few excerpts from the chat follow below.
Toronto Sun: Why do you still live in Des Moines? Shouldn't you be closer to where the action is?
Taylor:
This has been my home for so long. My family lives here, my friends
live here, my kids were born here. I have a place in L.A., but this is
my hub. This is the place that feels like home. I can come back and
just be me, just remember why I do it and find the hunger again,
basically. A lot of people move away from what inspired them in the
first place. That takes the edge off their music, it takes a lot of the
attitude out of it. I want to stay where I've got inspiration around me
all the time.
Toronto Sun: The frustrations and
limitations of life in Middle America have always informed your music.
Could this band have come from a bigger city?
Taylor: I
really don't think this band could have come from L.A. or New York.
What we say you couldn't manufacture in a big city. This band is almost
like the perfect storm. You've got nine disaffected idiots that just
had to get together and not only make music but just set s--- on fire,
basically. You come from L.A. or New York, there's a whole different
set of wants and needs. i just think this band had to come from the
Midwest; it had to come from Des Moines.
Toronto Sun: Between your album and new CDs from METALLICA and AC/DC, there's been a big metal resurgence this year. Why do you think that is?
Taylor:
I think people are tired of fake music, man. And there's a lot of it.
Technology has reached the point where any boob can walk into a studio,
and with a little AutoTuning you can have a hit song. I think it's
pathetic. The wrong people get a lot of credit for nothing. But metal
is still one of those genres where you have to be talented to make this
music and be popular. You are judged by the level of performance and
songwriting and showmanship. And we've kind of always been underdogs.
So to me, it's just desserts basically. We're finally starting to get
the respect that we deserved for a long time. Not that we're knocking BRITNEY SPEARS out of top spot or crap like that. But it's definitely better right now than it has been.
Toronto Sun: Your live show is pretty intense. How do you handle it?
Taylor:
It's like fighting the Civil War every night. And I mean all four years
of the Civil War. It's brutal. I'm 35, but I feel like I'm 50. That's
why I'm working out. I've gotta keep in shape to do this crap now, man.
I used to be able to chug a bottle of Jack and get onstage. Now I gotta
watch what I eat. But that's how much it means to me. It wouldn't be
right to go up there and go through the motions. That's how bands die.
I have enough respect for this to work for it. And at the end of the
day if I'm not feeling it, I have enough respect to walk away. Besides,
I wouldn't be able to fool our fans. Our fans can smell lies like farts
in a car.

I have 2 fav bands: Slipknot being No.1. I only start listening to metal from late 2000 till now. I spent 1yr on Oklahoma CIty. There was a kid who used to talk to himself, (usually about Slipknot), but i never knew who they were untill 2000 When I first heard "Wait and Bleed"... Currently "Surfacing" is my fav song. I tell ppl its my anthem.   |

I think Corey is absolutely right, although as much as I like Stone Sour better, he raises several good points.  |

Corey is so right. Anyone can walk into a studio and hit a few buttons, but it takes pure talent to make metal.

| If you don't like slipknot, then you would'nt be hear would you devil arms? And this goes out to all you pathetic losers who are easily perseuded into shit talkin band wagans. You can ride that band wagon straight to fuckin hell. If u don't at least respect slipknot, then it honestly say's a whole lot about your lack of understanding of musicianship. Why don't u admit that u just suck at life and thats why your shit talkin to fans of a band u dont like in the first place. ;) m/ stay true to yourselves... |
| by devils arms @ 14 Jun 2009 08:54 pm |
u get me the truth is I used to like slipknot only there first 2 albums
but now to me slipknot are nothing but sellouts and for that
I will NEVER RESPECT SLIPKNOT!!!! |
| by MILO SHMOB @ 15 Jun 2009 06:13 pm |
| i'm a huge slipknot fan and maggot4life, even my 18th birthday cake had the vermilion band picture right across the whole damn thing. but i have a question for all u maggots. I read on this webiste that some guy, music industry guy, told Corey that if wants to sell more albums, he should not swear and Corey responded "politely" with"suck my motherfucking cock" then subliminal verses came out with only the words bitch in "duality" and bastards in "pulse of the maggots". I don't want to really say slipknot are sellouts, but y did they do that? Even though all hope is gone is their only album to hit #1 and has swearing. Still Y? |
| by sicmaggot @ 16 Jun 2009 09:55 am |
| actualy you sound like some 7 year old girl. |
| by devils arms @ 16 Jun 2009 10:22 am |
cause they are SELLOUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
and I am not 7 years old! |
| by sicmaggot @ 19 Jun 2009 01:18 am |
| well you are about as mature as one, and mabie they wherent in a very sweary mood... |
| by niggah @ 19 Jun 2009 07:58 pm |
| get lost devils arms. You are obviously not 7 yrs old, since 7 yr olds are generally smarter than you. Lamb of God are awesome but Cannibal Corpse are pussy ass death metal. Go listen to some true Death Metal such as Morbid Angel, Obituary, Death, Internal Suffering, Suffocation, Hate Eternal, Nile or Origin. |
| by sicmaggot @ 20 Jun 2009 02:41 am |
| hahahahahaha |
| by blasian_hd_bangr @ 20 Jun 2009 01:35 pm |
| slipknot is one of the most talented heavy metal bands out there....anyone who thinks different knows nothing about music... |
| by sicmaggot @ 23 Jun 2009 09:44 am |
| hey, you know your name sounds like some pub, like the queens arms, or the dukes arms... |
