Corey Taylor Says 2012 Will Be ‘A Strengthening Year’ For Slipknot

Loudwire recently conducted an interview with Corey Taylor. Below you can read an excerpt from the interview.

Loud Wire: What do you see happening with Slipknot in 2012?

Corey Taylor: I think [2012] will just be more of a strengthening year for us. [The 2010 death of bassist Paul Gray is] still very fresh for us, even though it’s been a year and a half since his death. It is still something that breaks me down every night. I just know if we try to rush in and make an album that doesn’t feel right, the audience will know. The audience will know that it doesn’t feel right and they’ll know it was forced and they’ll know it isn’t genuine. If anything we have always been as genuine with our audience as possible. That is why I have gone out of my way to say ‘Look, I’m not ready to do it.’

And I know there are guys in the band that may or may not be comfortable saying it to anyone else but I know they feel the same way because they have said so to me. I think as long as the guys know we are going to eventually going to they are OK with that. It is not that time yet. When we make the album we all know it is going to be for Paul, you know? And I don’t think any of us are ready to open up that much yet. I think we need to take the steps to strengthen ourselves as a band first. And then start making those steps.

And, plus, he was one of our major, major songwriters. There is such a huge gap because of his loss. And I feel it. And that’s why I am not comfortable. It doesn’t make sense yet. And that is one of those things that makes me a villain to a lot of kids. Me saying we aren’t going to make an album is like me saying that the band is going to break up for some people. And everyone needs to calm down. I never said that. I said it is going to be a while before we make another album. But I think the more we put ourselves out there and the more we show ourselves as a band, a solid unit, the more people calm down about that.

New Slipknot Photo Exhibition In Bedford, UK

Rock City Art Gallery in Bedford, UK is delighted to announce its first solo exhibition. Paul Harries brings his hugely successful Slipknot Exhibition outside of London for the very first time.

This is the perfect opportunity to display Paul Harries’ fascinating work that has taken him all over the world. This includes Slipknot’s hometown of Des Moines, Iowa and as far away as Australia. Over forty photographs will be on display, including behind the scenes and previously unseen images, only possible due to the trust and respect Slipknot has for Paul, allowing him exclusive access.

Slipknot is not always the easiest band to capture in the true essence of photography and also not very easy to work with in the photo environment. Paul Harries has always been able to capture the band in its true form and has also been able to put up with all our bullshit that surrounds us night and day. Look at ‘the Knot’ as seen through the eyes of a true photographer, artist and friend.” Shawn Crahan aka Clown, Slipknot

Fans will be delighted to learn that entry to this event is completely free.

Paul Harries will be hosting a seminar at the gallery on Saturday 10 th March 2012 from 4pm until 6pm.He will be sharing stories behind the photographs on display and discussing his photography with a Q&A session afterwards.Tickets for this event are available at £15 from the Rock City Art store and are strictly limited to 25 people only.

Clown: “Our movies are going to be psychological. They’re going to affect you.”

Rolling Stone recently conducted an interview with Slipknot‘s Shawn Crahan and Corey Taylor. You can read a few excerpts below.

Metal band Slipknot have always had a flair for the visual. Now co-founder/percussionist M. Shawn Crahan, also known as Clown, and frontman Corey Taylor are taking it to the next level: The pair are heading to Sundance next week to unveil a film production company, Living Breathing Films. They tell Rolling Stone they plan on making movies befitting Slipknot‘s music and aesthetic.

“Our movies are going to be psychological. They’re going to affect you. When The Exorcist came out people got up and left after 15 minutes and that turns us on,” Crahan says. “If I haven’t got someone to leave in five minutes for at least one of my films then I’m not doing my job.”

They’re longtime film fans; when the band got its “first bit of scratch,” Crahan says, Taylor bought $10,000 worth of DVDs. But, while they reference The Exorcist and Taylor calls director John Carpenter’s Halloween one of his favorite movies of all time, they are fans of a variety of movies.
