Born on December 8, 1973, Corey Taylor is the lead vocals for both Slipknot, a nu-metal/heavy metal band (formed in 1995), and Stone Sour, a Hard rock/alternative metal group (formed in 1992). A commonly known fact among Taylor fans, he was a member of Stone Sour before he was in Slipknot. Taylor did not join Slipknot until 1997, when the “old” Slipknot (which recorded one demo and one unreleased album ) parted ways with original vocals Anders Colsefni. Taylor then joined Slipknot and they later released their debut self-titled album, Slipknot.
Anders and Taylor performed live together for a brief period of time until Anders officially announced his departure from Slipknot, leaving Taylor as the main vocals.
Some speculate that Taylor’s initial interest in performing stemmed from none other than Elvis Presley. Taylor’s grandmother helped support his vocal career by purchasing equipment for him and helping him with his talent.
One of the more defining and memorable features of Slipknot is the masks that members wear while performing. Each mask is custom made by the respective member and has some personal meaning and symbolism. Taylor described the masks in an interview, saying “it’s our way of becoming more intimate with the music. It’s a way for us to become unconscious of who we are and what we do outside of music. It’s a way for us to kind of crawl inside it and be able to use it.” Taylor’s mask is of a crash dummy with dread locks.
