With a number one album on Billboard and a Grammy win Slipknot is one of the most successful bands to ever come out of Iowa. I recently sat down with Corey Taylor at the US Cellular Center in Cedar Rapids for a chat about the last ten years and what else has been going on with Corey and the band. So here’s the interview.
So there you go, I hope you enjoy the interview. Next week I’ll have a video interview up that I did with Jeff of DevilDriver as well.

Great interview!
Oh man, my uncle knows Corey Taylor.
=]
Great singer and a great interview
dude corey is an awsome person yah he can be an ass sometimes but he is a great person he does his music for us the people for the love of music, but he has very little time to be with his family and thats a sacrafice….
Awesome.
My mother dated Corey in elementary school, unmasked
Astonishing, I hope more people realize how hard work and how truly amazing this band is. I’ve always had a tremendous amount of respect for Corey and his way with words is like a philosopher of our generation.
*hard working
My aunt met Joey, Mick, and Corey. She said they were really nice and Mick was huge.
i love it….slipknot rocks,,…..
Went to that show–Corey rocks! Awesome interview, Gabe.
Wow………., best interview with Corey which i saw in recent times!!!!! This guy is really dominatin’ in Metal music industry. I really respect him. I wish hin all ma blessings for a smashing future ahead.
seriously respect corey , seriously respect slipknot, stay (sic) for life
Corey…you do what u do…you are amazing. Besides from being an incredibly talented artist, you are a really good person, so I hope that everything you want works out for you =-)
i met joey.he owns
My only complaint about Slipknot is that I wish they did not have the side projects and could put out new material more often. Live albums and DVD’s are cool…but they do not replace a new album and the possibility of seeing one of your favorite bands live.
And please…next time you tour…do not ignore the Pacific Northwest…you played Auburn (Mayhem Fest Seattle), then did not play Seattle, Portland, or Vancouver BC when you did a headlining tour earlier this year…The Maggots of the Pacific NW await you!!
Fuckin’ great!
Corey is an amazing person, this interview make me proud to be a Maggot.
We won’t die!!!
I reely liked the interview!!! It was grait
The interview was great, very insightful and honest. i like honesty and If u havent been to one of their concerts u have to make it a point to go it is the best fucking concert i have been to. AWESOME an’t wait for the next one to come around

im replying to this to tylers cmnt above….i sort of agree with you but, think of it like this[Slipknot puts out a brilliant album as always, then you have to wait..and wait…and wait, when they finally announce that new album you about jizz yourself in excitement because you have been waiting, if they just put out album after album you expect it and you don’t get that same high from knowing your about to receive a godly piece of work
definatley enlightening to hear Corey talk.
he seems to have a lot of interesting views on a wide veriety of topics.
cant wait for the 10th anniversary album and dvd, love hearin corey speak its so insightful, good to know that they’re thinking about the next album already saw interview on the bands site with sid saying he cant wait to start the new album already…. it is a bit frustrating waiting for slipknots next album but fact is if they put a record out every year or whatever like some bands, they would’ve died out along time ago i think because all the albums would sound similair and thats boring, when they have the breaks as well it gives 9 people who spend nearly 2yrs each cycle in a bus probably getting annoyed with each other a breather, they nearly split after IOWA because they went straight into the studio instead of having a break, i knew AHIG werent going to be their last…. long live slipknot and to hell with everyone who keeps writing them off 10years and stronger than ever!!
It might sound weared but, one of my biggest dreams is to some time in my life meet Corey Taylor.
