Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Jim Root considering new musical project

George Michael’s Older re-issue is currently leading a close race for this week’s UK’s Number 1 album, with the possibility of an all-new Top 5. 

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor recently spoke to schoolchildren about Slipknot’s music, answering questions posed by ten and 11 year-olds.Appearing on BBC Sounds with host Craig Charles last Thursday (September 29), Taylor was grilled by US fifth-graders.When asked whether Slipknot have songs that change time signatures, Taylor replied: “‘Vermillion’ [2004] is actually a song that goes from three-four into four-four and kind of back and forth. I think there’s a section in there that goes from three-four to seven-eight, actually, which is very weird.“It all kind of ties together with a riff that could go either way.

“Saturday Night Live” has undergone a lot of retooling over the summer — with a lot of castmembers exiting the show and four new actors signing on. So they made sure to address the slew of differences with a self-referential cold-open featuring the night’s host, Miles Teller.

Except instead of playing it straight, the Mannings — joined eventually by three-time host Jon Hamm playing himself — focused on how bad it and the various cast members were.“I don’t know” what it is, Hamm joked at one point, “But it’s not comedy.

has undergone a lot of retooling over the summer — with a lot of castmembers exiting the show and four new actors signing on. So they made sure to address the slew of differences with a self-referential cold-open featuring the night's host,Miles Teller.Teller played Payton Manning, joined by his brother Eli Manning (Andrew Dismukes), as they live-commented on the cold-open sketch, and brutally criticized the sketch.The bit got even more meta when Jon Hamm joined Payton and Eli as a special guest commentator and all three of them got in on the fun of making fun of the cast's gaffes in the sketch-within-a-sketch.At one point, Shawn White showed up for a one-line cameo and Hamm joked, «Well, you know, sometimes they need to bring in a real celebrity when the host isn't that famous… I mean, they couldn't get the star of the big summer movie, like, Tom Cruise or John Hamm, they had to get the costar.»Payton (again, played by Teller, the night's host) indignantly replied, «Well, I heard they rarely put the hosts in cold open, so when they do, it is special.»«Special? Or is it desperate?» Hamm shot back.By using the sketch-within-a-sketch conceit, the show managed to not only poke fun at themselves, they got a chance to introduce all the new castmembers while also ingratiating themselves to new audiences with a bit of self-deprecation.Now only time will tell how the new, remarkably smaller cast will gel over the course of the season.

Slipknot‘s Corey Taylor has appeared to respond to the recent viral TikTok video that alleged that Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine had an affair.Levine has since addressed the claims made by Instagram model Sumner Stroh, saying in a statement last week: “A lot is being said about me right now and I want to clear the air. I used poor judgment in speaking with anyone other than my wife in ANY kind of flirtatious manner.

Slipknot‘s Corey Taylor has spoken in a new interview about his relationship with his late former bandmate Joey Jordison.Jordison, who passed away in July 2021 at the age of 46, was one of Slipknot’s co-founding members, and served as the band’s original drummer until his departure in 2013.Speaking to Zane Lowe on Apple Music, Taylor has now reflected on how “as you get older, you just start to appreciate what you do have and you lament the losses”.“You lament the fact that you never had to truly make peace with the people who you lost. Something that I’ve been doing just in my own life is reaching out to people who I haven’t talked to in a while and really burying hatchets, because that shit will just fucking weigh you down.”Addressing his relationship with Jordison, Taylor continued: “We had talked over the years every now and then — it would just be random — but we never said to each other what we needed to say to each other.

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor‘s upcoming gig in London is set to be livestreamed worldwide to benefit his charitable foundation.On October 17, Taylor will play the London Palladium as part of a series of debut UK solo shows behind his debut solo album ‘CMFT’.It has now been announced that the show – dubbed ‘Half Sold Out: CMFT Live At The Palladium’ – will be broadcast live via stream to benefit the singer’s own charity, The Taylor Foundation.“Not only am I stoked to be coming back to my island to play for my people, I’m over the moon to share it with the rest of the world,” Taylor said in a statement.“We’re gonna laugh, cry, break dance – sky’s the limit. Enjoy, Earth.”The show will be streamed live worldwide at 9pm BST on the night, with rebroadcasts available at 9pm EDT and 9pm PDT on the same day.

Misha Berson After a bunch of peppy up-tempo numbers, you just know there is going to be at least one ballad somewhere in “The Griswolds’ Broadway Vacation,” the new musical with Broadway aspirations premiering at Seattle’s 5th Avenue Theatre. It arrives in the second act: “Doofus,” a tender ode from a much put-upon wife to her eternal screw-up of a husband. The song encapsulates some of what is amiss with this oddly retro, very busy and fitfully amusing show, inspired by the National Lampoon film comedies of the 1980s and 1990s about a Chicago family’s holiday misadventures. Whether the cinematic Griswolds are traveling to a California amusement park, hitting Las Vegas or hosting relatives at home for Christmas, the occasions invariably turn into nightmarish disasters caused by a shlemiel dad’s dimwit decisions.

Slipknot guitarist Jim Root has criticised the “backwards” message of Rage Against The Machine‘s classic protest song ‘Killing In The Name’.The explicit, politically-charged single was released back in 1992, and features on RATM’s self-titled debut album. It was written about the abuses of power and issues within US society.Back in 2020, guitarist Tom Morello said that the track’s “Fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me” chant remains a “universal sentiment” despite its simplicity.
