Taylor joined Slipknot in 1997 to replace their original singer Anders Colsefini. He has released four studio albums with the band. Taylor constantly alters between bands, as seen in 2001, after the release of Iowa, where he rejoined Stone Sour immediately after touring. He has worked with several bands, including Junk Beer Kidnap Band, Apocalyptica, Anthrax, Soulfly, and Avenged Sevenfold. Taylor writes and sings in styles that vary by genre. Slipknot drummer Joey Jordison said that he has "really good melodic singing."[4] Taylor was ranked number 86 in Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time.[5]

Personal life

Early life: 1973–1991

Corey Taylor was born in Des Moines, Iowa on December 8, 1973,[6][7][8][9] the first of three children. Taylor was raised by his mother in Waterloo, Iowa, a place described by Taylor as a "hole in the ground with buildings around it."[9]

In 1979, Taylor and his mother saw the science fiction series Buck Rogers In the 25th Century in an open theatre. Before the series, there was a trailer for the 1978 horror film Halloween. Taylor said this "developed some sense of Slipknot in [himself]."[9] While Halloween introduced Taylor to masks and horror themes, Taylor's grandmother introduced him to rock music, showing him a collection of Elvis Presley records from the mid-fifties to late seventies. He especially found some songs like "Teddy Bear," "In the Ghetto," and "Suspicious Minds," to appeal to his interests the most, describing them as "good times."[9] Taylor also began listening to Black Sabbath at a young age, beginning with their early work.[9]

Taylor, along with his mother and sister, lived in an "old dilapidated farmhouse," which on days in late autumn would "look like Black Sabbath album covers."[10][11] By age fifteen, Taylor had developed a drug addiction and had overdosed on cocaine twice.[10][12] By this time, Taylor was living in Waterloo, Iowa, but later set out on his own and ended up at his grandmother's trailer in Ohio. She took legal custody of him and helped him buy musical equipment.[11] When Taylor was eighteen, he left his grandmother's trailer and went to various places, Des Moines being a place he commonly went back to. Taylor enjoys the movie Witch Board.[13]

Later life: 2002–present

Taylor and his father first met when Taylor was an adult, and now have a strong relationship.[14] On September 17, 2002, Corey's then-fiancée, Scarlett Stone, gave birth to their son Griffin Parker.[15] Taylor also has a daughter named Angeline, born in 1992 from an earlier relationship.[15] Taylor and Stone married on March 11, 2004, and divorced three years later.[16] On November 13, 2009, he married Stephanie Luby.[16]

Taylor has also had alcohol abuse problems, which his ex-wife, Scarlett, helped him through as well as keeping him from committing suicide.[17] On November 14, 2003, Taylor attempted to jump off a balcony of the eighth floor of the Hyatt on Sunset Boulevard, but Scarlett stopped him. She told him that either he would have to get sober or she would annul their marriage.[17] Before Stone Sour started recording Come What(ever) May in January 2006, Taylor was sober.[17][18] On August 3, 2009, he co-hosted the 2009 Kerrang! Awards alongside Scott Ian of Anthrax.[19][20] The following year, they both once again co-hosted The Kerrang Awards, where Corey collected the K! Services to Metal award on behalf of Paul Gray who died after an accidental overdose of morphine and fentanyl, and had also shown signs of "significant heart disease".[21][22] In early September, 2010, Taylor announced that his book, Seven Deadly Sins, was going to be released on March 1, 2011 through Da Capo Press.[23]

Music career

Stone Sour

Main article: Stone Sour

Taylor is a founding member of the American hard rock band Stone Sour. After forming the band with drummer Joel Ekman, Shawn Economaki joined filling in the bass position, leaving the electric guitar position to be filled by Jim Root. Stone Sour recorded a demo album in 1992, and another in 1994. In 1997, Taylor was approached by the nu metal band, Slipknot, resulting in him abandoning Stone Sour while they were recording a demo album with Sean McMahon at SR studios.[24][25] Taylor did not return until five years later to record their debut album, Stone Sour in 2002. Both Taylor and guitarist Jim Root contacted Josh Rand, Stone Sour's guitarist, and Shawn Economaki, Stone Sour's original bassist, to begin writing songs for their debut album.[26] Drummer Joel Ekman came back on board as well.[27][28] This "reformation" later resulted in Stone Sour recording at Catamount Studios in Cedar Falls, Iowa.[27][29]

Their self-titled debut album was released August 27, 2002, and it debuted at number 46 on the Billboard 200.[30] Their second album, Come What(ever) May debuted at number four on the Billboard 200.[30] It was released August 1, 2006, and charted on several different charts.[30][31][32] Live in Moscow is currently their only album specifically released only for Music download.[33] During the recording of the album, drummer Joel Ekman left the band for personal reasons. As a result, drummer Roy Mayorga was recruited, taking his place.[34] The group will release their third studio album Audio Secrecy on September 7, 2010.[35][36][37]

Slipknot

While Corey Taylor was working at Adult Emporium, a sex shop in Des Moines, Iowa, Joey Jordison, Shawn Crahan, and Mick Thomson approached him asking him to join Slipknot.[25] He agreeably went to one of their practices, and ended up singing in front of them. They asked him to join the band because of his "Melodic" vocals. While Taylor was positioned as lead vocalist for the band, their previous vocalist, Anders Colsefini, was moved to backing vocals and Percussion.[4] Unhappy with the position, Colsefini later left the band.[38] Feeling he could expand more in Slipknot than in Stone Sour, Taylor temporarily quit Stone Sour, even though they were recording an album with Sean McMahon.[24] Taylor's first gig with Slipknot was on August 22, 1997, which according to band members did not go well. During his first gig, Taylor did not perform wearing a mask; however, for his second show nearly a month later, Corey wore a mask that resembles his debut album mask.[38] Taylor's current mask was described by MTV's Chris Harris as looking "as though it were made of dried, human flesh—like Leatherface, if only he used moisturizer."[39]

Taylor has recorded with Slipknot since the release of their second demo album, a self titled demo used to promote the band to prospective labels and producers.[40] As permanent vocalist, he recorded with Slipknot at Indigo Ranch in Malibu, California and released Slipknot, the band's debut album that peaked number one on the Top Heatseekers chart,[41][42] went 2× Platinum in the United States,[43] and was included in the 2006 book 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[44] Taylor was accused of copyright infringement, regarding the lyrics of the song "Purity".[45] Taylor began recording for their second studio album, Iowa, in 2001 at Sound City and Sound Image in Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California.[46] It was released August 28, 2001 and peaked number one on the UK Albums Chart,[47] as well as number three on the Billboard 200.[48] While writing Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses), Taylor decided to write lyrics that would not warrent an explicit label.[49] It peaked number two on the Billboard 200.[50] All Hope Is Gone was the first Slipknot album to peak number one on the Billboard 200.[51]

Other work

Corey is the ex Vocalist of FM static and the former vocalist of Breaking Benjamin. Taylor has appeared as a guest musician on albums by Soulfly, Apocalyptica and Damageplan. At one point, he was heavily involved in the recording of thrash metal band Anthrax's album, Worship Music, but the sessions remain unreleased.[52] He also contributed to the Roadrunner United all-star album in 2005, providing vocals for the song "Rich Man".[53] Taylor has also made a brief appearance in Steel Panther's singles "Death to All but Metal", "Eyes of a Panther", and "Asian Hooker."[54] In 2006, Taylor founded the record company Great Big Mouth Records.[55] Taylor has produced two albums: Face Cage's self titled album and Walls of Jericho's Redemption.[56][57] In an interview with Billboard magazine, Taylor confirmed that on January 13, 2009, he was planning on making a solo album, as well as returning to his side project Stone Sour after Slipknot's All Hope Is Gone World Tour.[58] Taylor has stated that he is currently been writing songs that states "don't fit either of his main bands."[58] He describes them as a cross between Foo Fighters, Johnny Cash, and Social Distortion, saying that there's "a country background that comes built-in with living in Iowa".[58]

On the March 30, 2009, it was confirmed that Taylor and the Junk Beer Kidnap Band would be performing at Rockfest in 2009.[59] The group performed on April 24, 2009 at People's Court in Des Moines, Iowa, marking Taylor's first official solo show.[60] Taylor constantly performs with his band the Dum Fux, who make covers for 1970s punk rock and 1980s hair metal.[61] Taylor also performs with Audacious P, a band that is primarily a Tenacious D covers band.[62] Rapper Tech N9ne confirmed that Taylor was to perform on their album K.O.D., but was removed because Taylor did not submit his vocals in time.[63][64] Taylor recently admitted that he tried out for the vacant singer spot in the band Velvet Revolver, but said that it just did not work out.[65]

Taylor recently finished writing a book about his view on the seven deadly sins, and it is currently being edited. "I don’t think they’re sins at all. They’re human characteristics. They’re just human flaws and things that we all experience." He further says, "I’m telling stories from my past and balancing humor with serious, dark stuff. I’m really excited about it." The book is tentatively planned for a spring 2011 release through Da Capo Press.[66]

Style and influence

The first two Slipknot albums that Taylor performed vocals on, Slipknot and Iowa, both contain explicit content, because Taylor relied on the profanity in the lyrical content.[49] However, Slipknot's third album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) did not warrant the explicit label.[49] Unlike the previous vocalist for Slipknot, Ander Colsefini, Taylor has a vocal style that was characterized by drummer Joey Jordison as "really good melodic singing".[4] Taylor's vocal style led him to getting placed at number 86 on the Hit Parader’s Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time.[67]

Taylor is currently involved in two major projects which have moods and genres considered to be different.[27] Slipknot is considered to be heavy metal, nu metal, and alternative metal, and express moods such as hostility, anger, and rebellious.[68] Stone Sour is considered to be heavy metal, alternative metal, and post-grunge, and express moods such as bleak, somberness, and anger.[69] When asked who his influencers are, Taylor cites Motley Crue, Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, Misfits, Black Flag, Slayer, Def Leppard, Sex Pistols, The Buzzcocks, The Damned, The Cramps and Bob Dylan as influences.[70]
