Multi-Taylor
In a similar vein to Maynard James Keenan from Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer and others – Corey Taylor is trying his hand at various musical projects.
You might remember as being the lead singer of Alternative Metal rockers Slipknot, his most famous band. He’s also found success in Stone Sour, a hard rock group. Now he’s showcasing his compositions which he feels have no place in the masterplans of either group.
COREY TAYLOR AND THE JUNK BEER KIDNAP BAND, featuring SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor, performed a “secret show” this past Friday, April 24 at People’s Court in Des Moines, Iowa. It was a warm-up concert for their appearances at Rockfest in Kansas City on May 30 and Lazerfest in Des Moines on May 31.
THE JUNK BEER KIDNAP BAND reportedly formed as a stoner rock disco band (imagine EDGAR WINTER meets PRINCE). Over the course of rehearsals, Corey brought in new material that he had been working on that didn’t fit SLIPKNOT or STONE SOUR.
Musicians who branch out and try something new will always have my utmost respect. Corey’s a hell of a talented guy too.
Here he is singing the Cheers theme song too. How many guys in metal do that eh?
