Stone Sour

Hot And Bothered

(google drive link) Murderdolls interview here - Slipknot interview here

Stone Sour’s debut album wasn’t what Slipknot fans were expecting. And that pleases Corey Taylor a great deal. Not nearly as outrageously angry as Iowa, the disc blends Taylor’s passionate singing, rock-solid riffing and indelible tunes, creating a record of downbeat songs that rewards comparisons to the sobering sound of the grunge bands a decade ago. With two other musicians of Slipknot getting involved—guitarist Jim Root’s a fully-fledged member of the band, DJ Sid Wilson adds sonic wallpaper to three songs—and now with a huge radio hit in the song, “Bother,” Stone Sour has begun to take on a greater importance than maybe even Taylor had intended. After all, this was a band that played in the Des moines area for years (‘92-’97) without gaining any attention from record labels. Members passed in and out of their ranks like ants through an anthill, and when Taylor finally gave his band notice, that he was joining their hometown rivals Slipknot, Stone Sour seemed to end with quiet finality.

“By ‘97, I’d been doing it for five years straight,” says Corey. Stripped of his Slipknot coveralls and mask, Taylor is a not unhandsome, stockily-built man, standing about 5’7” tall. His brown hair hangs down to his shoulders, and despite his frequent use of the “F” word, it’s clear that he has a large vocabulary and isn’t afraid to use it. “No one comes to Des Moines to see you play,” Corey continues. “Even Slipknot had to go to Chicago to get fucking noticed. I was sick of working my ass off in Stone Sour and seeing nothing on the back end. I knew that I wanted to make it, and I wanted to try something new. So, the guys in Slipknot came and asked me to join.”

His current bandmates—Root, guitarist Josh Rand, bass player Shawn Economaki and drummer Joel Ekman—have all played in Stone Sour at one time or another. Shawn recalls that Stone Sour were almost the “top dogs” in their small scene. “When we first came out, we had our own little reign in Des moines. Then Slipknot came out and just blew the scene to shit!” he laughs.

Were they furious with Taylor when he deserted them? Joel Ekman shrugs. “When he called me to tell me he was joining Slipknot, I told him good luck and wished him the best. Sure, I was mad. It’s hard to find a good singer, especially in Des Moines. Corey’s voice is just awesome and I wondered how we could replace him. When Slipknot needed a singer, of course he was the one to grab.” Corey sat down with Metal Edge to set the record straight…

METAL EDGE: So, you strike out on your own, after all this success with Slipknot, and then you name your new band after a drink? COREY TAYLOR: It just worked out that way. When me and Joel were trying to find a name, we had all kinds of fucking weird shit that we were thinking about calling this band. You have to remember that we were 19 when we started to put this together. You know, we tried names like Freak Show, but we were clearly not a “freak show.” We were just guys that wanted to play fucking music. So one night, Joel’s at a bar, and he’s reading a drink menu, and he starts writing down all this shit from the drink menu. There was a bunch of shit on there like “Hot Saki,” and “Ocean Green,” you know. Stone Sour was the second to last one, and he brought over the list. He asked me if I liked any of them for names. Stone Sour just stuck in my mind, and I decided that was it, it was perfect. It didn’t mean anything to us other than it was the name. It’s like Slipknot… Slipknot doesn’t mean anything either, it’s just a name for the band.

ME: I wanted to ask you about the spoken-word track on the album, “Omega.” Was that inspired by Henry Rollins’ spoken-word stuff? I know that you recently worked with him on his benefit album for the West Memphis three. CT: It was just something that I wrote. I’ve always wanted to get into stuff like that. Obviously, there wasn’t a platform for me to do that with Slipknot, so when we started working on this, I said, “You know what? I’m not holding myself down to anything. I want to explore, I want to do everything.” So, I just wrote this spoken-word piece, I was on an airplane, too, and it happened quickly, in only ten minutes. I knew that we were going in to do demos for what we were calling “Superego” at the time, which later became Stone Sour. It was more inspired by some of what Rolins had done, but also the “Beat” writers, like Kerouac and Burroughs and Ginsberg. That kind of thing. There’s a different rhythm to it. It’s not just somebody sitting down and just talking. There’s a flow to it, and that’s why I wanted to do it in the first place. I’ve always wanted to get into stuff like that, just from a writing point of view, because if you’re just singing all the time, you get bored. If you can branch out and do different things, why not?

ME: Have you ever done a kind of stand-up poetry reading in the past? CT: No, not yet. But I want to. I want to do it all, dude! I don’t give a fuck. I want to go out and do spoken-word shit, I don’t hold myself down to anything.

ME: What have Slipknot fans thought about this departure for you? CT: Well, I just want to prove a point. I want to prove to everybody that, “a,” I’m not just a guy who screams all the time; “b,” I can do other stuff besides Slipknot, and “c,” I want to show everybody that if you put your fucking mind to it, you can do anything. You can accomplish anything in live, and that’s the whole fucking point. If you’re stuck in a band, no matter how popular it is and how unhappy you are, why not branch out and do as much fucking music as much as you can? I got into music to do music, not just to be a member of a band. I love Slipknot, and I love what I do, but at the same time, if I feel like I’m not getting to branch out creatively in other avenues, then I’m going to fucking do something else. Luckily, the response has been really good, the kids have really dug it. But at the same time, if nobody dug it I’d still be doing it. That’s just the way I am. That’s why I joined Slipknot in the first place, because in the original Stone Sour, I was kind of burned out on what we were doing in ‘97. We had been doing it for about five years, and it was time for me to do something new. The guys in Slipknot came to me and asked me to do it. Now, happily, I’ve been able to come back and do this again.

ME: Is it stifling to be in Slipknot? CT: Kind of, yeah.

ME: That’s going to be a hard thing for Slipknot fans to hear you say, won’t it? CT: Well, here’s the thing. You can listen to Slipknot and tell that we’re creative. We don’t really hold ourselves to one “form” of metal, but at the same time, it’s still metal, man. It’s still very brutal and there’s not much stuff that you can do with it. I couldn’t do a song like “Bother” in Slipknot. It just wouldn’t fit in and it wouldn’t be right. So it was important to me to be able to do that, because I write stuff like “Bother” all the time, and what am I supposed to do? Forget about ever singing those songs? Fuck that. It’s either i write and play and sing, or I die. That’s just the way it is.

ME: Your fiancee she says that she’s been listening to “Bother” for almost three years. And all of a sudden, it’s strange for her to have the rest of the world hearing it. CT: It used to be that I wrote stuff like that for myself. I write on an acoustic guitar, not on an electric. I wrote it in ‘95, and it was one of those songs that I’ve always, whenever I had a moment to play my guitar, I would always start to play it. It took a lot… I think I was actually kind of scared to do anything like it before. When we were doing the demos for the Superego stuff, I thought, “You know what? I’m just going to record it and if we don’t use it, then at least I’ve got it for myself. I can listen to it whenever I want.” And, luckily, when people started listening to it, they were like “Holy shit!” I flew out to L.A. to record it for the Spider-Man soundtrack, and people have been really digging it.

ME: Is it a relief to reveal the person you are beneath your Slipknot mask? CT: Yes. It really was starting to feel like I was a character that I was having to play. I wanted to get away from it, I wanted to get back and just do something so that I could come back to Slipknot and feel the same love that I had for the band on the first album.

ME: Were you nervous about going without your mask? CT: I was a little worried about it at first, but then I thought about it and decided, “This is who I am in Stone Sour.” I shouldn’t be worried or ashamed of that. I did Stone Sour for five years without a mask on. It was just “me.” And people liked it then, so why wouldn’t they like it now?

ME: What’s the reaction that you’re getting from Slipknot about the music that you and Jim are doing now? Have you talked to them? CT: I haven’t even talked to them in a whole. They’ve been doing their own thing, I’ve been so busy with this. I’ve talked to Joey [Jordison, Slipknot drummer] a couple of times. Joey’s doing the Murderdolls and he’s having a good time with that. I feel that if they can’t be happy with the fact that I’m happy right now, then why are we doing it in the first place, you know? If anybody wanted (sic) in the band wanted to branch out and do whatever they wanted, I’d be like, “Fuck yeah. Go for it!” I would never try to hold anybody back, and I don’t think that they’re trying to do that with me.

ME: Do you anticipate seven other solo projects from Slipknot? CT: [Laughing] Probably not! I mean, [DJ] Sid [Wilson]’s got his DJ stuff, and [percussionist Shawn] Clown [Crahan]’s got his hand in a bunch of cookie jars, obviously! [Guitarist] Mick [Thomson]’s involved in some shit… It’s just them basically doing what they can’t do in Slipknot, and that’s the whole reason that me and Jim are doing this.

ME: What did Clown say? CT: Clown said some shit about me and Joey and Jim, you know, that “they’d better realize that it’s all fun and good to do this side-project shit,” which pissed me off, because Stone Sour is not a side-project. It’s an actual band. But he said that if our fucking side-projects get in the way of Slipknot, that we’re going to have to answer to him. He’s just talking shit. You know the Clown! He loves to start shit.

ME: Can you still relate to some of the older songs on the album that date back a few years, as if you wrote them last week? CT: Yeah, it’s the same me. Half of the stuff on this album was written prior to us getting back together. It’s just a different perspective. You know, with Slipknot it’s very much about purging the bullshit and everything that I had to go through as a kid. With Stone Sour, it’s much more general, much more accessible and much more confident. These are issues that everybody thinks about. Stuff like relationships, religion, politics… All kinds of things. It goes back to the music question. I’m not going to limit myself just because common popular knowledge has me cast in one fucking role. Fuck that. I want to be the guy who’s known for doing it all and not giving a shit.

ME: There’s a lot of emotions that seem to come out of depression on this record. “Bother” definitely comes out of that dark frame of mind. CT: Yeah. A lot of the stuff, like “Monolith” and “Take A Number”... “Monolith” is a case study of about (sic) what our potential is. All of us are fucking animals, and the people who think that they’re above being animals are the ones who are more susceptible to snapping in a fit of stress and taking a gun and shooting people. And a song like “Take A Number,” back in the scene as popular as we were, there was always the hot new thing that was going on, where people were buying all the bullshit that somebody was saying. That song’s kind of about personality cults and finding out too late that someone’s full of shit. It’s about being burned by somebody that you really believed in. “Bother” is just about people who take and take and take, until you feel like you can’t give anymore, but they still take and keep on taking.

ME: I wanted to talk to you about “Blotter,” as well. Is that about taking acid? CT: No, no… It’s about a chemical imbalance, about obsession. It’s about being that guy that chases a chick all over town and sits outside her house for six hours a night, calls her time after time when he knows she’s not home. About being that guy who scares the fuck out of you, the template for all women who worry about strangers in dark corners.

ME: And that was never you? CT: No. I came really close with my jealousy. I used to be a very jealous person. But I realized how fucking ugly I was with my jealousy, and a lot of my truth wasn’t reality. Every man has been burned by at least one woman in their life, and for a long time after that you really base your opinion of women off of that experience, unfortunately. It’s just about really wanting to be with someone after being in a situation like that. Meeting someone who has the potential of being that “chemical,” very perfect, very forever, and having your own psychosis get in the way of having that, and losing it. It’s kind of about that.

ME: In addition to Jim, Sid plays on this album. CT: Yeah. Sid does some spinning on three songs, yeah. Sid does what he wants. He doesn’t give a fuck. He never has. The only thing he really worries about is whether his coveralls are all intact, and if he’s got a burn on his leg! I asked him to come down, and he was like, “Fuck yeah, man.” He came down and did all his songs in one night. I didn’t want to make what he did integral parts of the songs, I just wanted something for “ear candy,” and that’s what he’s perfect at. A lot of DJs want to remix everything, they want to start everything over again at ground zero. But Sid comes in, asks what you want him to do, and I told him what I was thinking about. He goes into his albums, his bag of tricks, and fucking pulled it off. It was awesome.

ME: This album was done inexpensively? CT: Very inexpensively. We recorded in Catamount studios in Cedar Falls, Iowa with a guy who Shawn and Jim had worked with before on one of their other bands. And we just got along, he knew that we wanted to make something and we knew that we wanted to do it the way we wanted to do it, and not fuck around with a lot of production and a lot of producers. We wanted to produce it ourselves, and it just worked out fucking great. We ended up going in and spending less than $10,000 to record the album. And then we had Toby Wright set up to mix it. I’d wanted Toby Wright to mix it since day one, and it worked out. A lot of things were really smiling on us, you know?

ME: Did Toby Wright’s name come up from your admiration for his work with Alice In Chains? CT: Yeah. Chains, plus I’d also worked with Toby when I did a song with Max Cavalera for the second Soulfly album. We had hit it off really fucking well. He knows what he likes and he loves great vocal performances, and I really wanted to play with that.

ME: How much time have you set aside for Stone Sour? CT: This is something that, depending on how big it gets, I’m going to tour with this up until we get together to do Slipknot. Maybe even past that, because the rest of the guys can work on the music, and me and Jim can come out and we can still be doing this while they’re working.

ME: Things are comfortable? CT: Me and Shawn and Josh have all known each other since we were kids, and I’ve been with Joel since ‘92. Jim we’ve known forever, just because he’s the most popular guitarist in town with all the bands that he was doing. I don’t know what it is, man, we just work really well together. We play off of each other’s ideas, we have carte blanche to do whatever we want musically, and vocally. It’s a good feeling when you’re working towards a goal instead of working for your own means.

ME: So let’s play word association for a second. If Slipknot equals metal, and People equal Shit, Stone Sour equals…? CT: Melody and freedom. It’s everything to me. It’s the first real band I was ever in, it’s the first band I’ve played live with. It’s the first band I ever recorded anything substantial with. It’s the first band I’ve ever felt proud of, where it wasn’t just me and a couple of guys playing what I wrote. It was all of us really working to do something very cool.

ME: This album seemed to come out of nowhere. No one knew you were off the road long enough to make this record. CT: Fuck yeah. This thing was recorded in thirty days, man. I think Stone Sour is different from what’s out there. It’s melodic and catchy, and it’s got soul and life. I think that it’s going to make people re-evaluate how they look at music. I think that this is the needle that gets shoved in the eye of all the corporate bulshit! Everything is cookie-cutter nu-metal crap! Everybody thinks that they have to have the big rap breakdown, and it’s fucking pathetic! What happened to songwriting, what happened to storytelling? Show me something before you ship a million-plus copies! It’s bullshit, man!

Monday, December 9: Stone Sour, "Peckinpah"

The House of Gold and Bones albums were Stone Sour’s major swing: two albums unified by a conceptual narrative thread, recorded simultaneously and released a few months apart, produced by David Bottrill and featuring guest bass by Rachel Bolan.  And numbers like “Peckinpah”, which appeared on the second record, were a bit more ambitious than usual, with a little more metallic crunch and trickier drumming inside its 4-minute runtime.  But Stone Sour remained a radio-ready act at their core, so the track was fundamentally an easily digestible alt-metal number that might have contained some vaguely tricky and proggy moves but didn’t really rock the boat, and Corey Taylor made sure his melodic side rode high above the mix.  To be sure, Taylor, Josh Rand and Jim Root understood at this point how to thread the needle and add a few wrinkles without deviating too far from the template Stone Sour had established by this point, so both House of Gold and Bones records felt like logical next steps, even if the band, particularly Taylor, were never as clever or interesting as they thought.  Nonetheless, “Peckinpah” proved a fitting capstone to what amounted to Stone Sour’s golden era, as it was the last time the band would have this kind of runway to follow Taylor’s muse.

From the November 8, 2023 article:

The Missouri senator cited a recent report by The New York Times that TikTok engineers based in China have accessed the driver’s licenses, addresses and photos of TikTok users despite the repeated assurances of TikTok executives that China would not have access to Americans’ data.  

...

And he noted that young people are especially vulnerable to data collection by the Chinese-owned social media app, which he called “a back door for the Chinese Communist Party to track the keystrokes, the information of every American who has the app on their phone.”  

...

“Banning TikTok, a social media app used by primarily young Americans, is a recipe for electoral disaster for Republicans,” Paul said, noting that 71 percent of young women and 53 percent of young men voted for Democratic candidates for Congress in last year’s midterm election.  

...

“The banning TikTok strategy … comes while the GOP simultaneously complains of liberal U.S. social media companies canceling and censoring conservatives. So without a hint of irony, many of these same, quote, conservatives now agitate to censor viewpoints they don’t like,” Paul said.

...

Halwey has criticized the app for handling pro-Hamas propaganda since the outbreak of war in Israel. He recently noted that 51 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 24 believe Hamas’s attack on Israeli civilians was justified.

Congressional opposition to TikTok finds testing ground on Florida university campuses

On Apr. 4, the New College of Florida joined other state universities in banning TikTok, WeChat and other “dangerous” apps from devices and networks owned by the campus. Students are no longer capable of accessing TikTok on their own private devices through campus WiFi. The ban list also includes Russian cybersecurity giant Kaspersky, Russian social media platform VKontakte, Chinese IM platform…

josh and i were talking about the best outcome for elon musk. he wants him dead, but I think it would be funnier if someone beat him up over something trivial (a la rand paul) and then he pisses off enough people that congress actually does their job and launches a full investigation, seizes his assets, and he stops getting attention. And then he dies.

You have used our labor to enrich yourselves at our expense.

You have lied to us constantly through MSM to further ur personal agenda of global dominance.

You have sacrificed us in wars to for personal gain.

You have poisoned us to keep us dependent upon Big pharma

You have thrusted satanic idolatry to affect our future generations

You have played with innocent lives for too long, that ends now!

Liberatores servitutis.

- the one where she surprised him while filming -

SWIPE RIGHT, baby - Calfreezy

“Babe!” Callum shouts, walking into the living room to find my sitting on the couch cuddled up into a blanket watching some tv.

I turn my head to face him walking into our shared living room, leaning on me elbows. “Yeah?”

“Where’s the car keys?” He asks, looking at me from a few feet away. He’s ready to go out filming with the boys- but usual Cal loses the car keys.

I sigh, shaking my head. “Did you check your jacket pocket?” I ask.

He frowns, his hand leaning into his stripes/square jacket pocket. Automatically I hear a jingle sound.

I laugh. “There they are”

He shakes his head, grinning. He walks over to me and kneels down beside me.

“Are you alright?” He asks, tucking loose strands of hair behind my ear gently.

“Yeah I’m good, gonna miss you though. The guys always keep you for so longggg” I groan and he chuckles.

“I’ll be back as soon as I can, love. Do you want me to bring you anything in?” He asks, caressing my left cheek.

I shake my head lending against his hand “just you” i smile, pushing his glasses further up his face.

He smiles back, and pulls his jiggers at his knees so he can stand up comfortably. “I’ll be back soon..” he makes his way to the front door. “Love you!” He shouts. He won’t close the door until he gets a response.

“Love you, cal” I say, smiling even though he can’t see. I then hear the front door close, meaning he has gone.

Callum and I are 22 and 24 now- we got together at a very young age and haven’t looked back since. We met when he lived in Scotland, then I eventually moved to London. We are still young, but I genuinely can see us together forever.

What a boring day ahead. I’m off work, cal and I were originally going to be going away for the weekend but Josh needed him for the video. So unfortunately, our weekend away has turned into me staying at home myself.

I felt my phone buzz beneath my arm, I sigh and try to find it. I was so comfortable!

I unlocked my phone to reveal a text from Josh.

- hey, y/n. You busy? I’m sorry for the short notice but one of the girls has pulled out of the Tinder IRL and I really need someone to help out. I thought you’d be a suitable option. You up for it? Was planning not to tell the boys and callum- a nice surprise for them.😀

I think for a second. This could be fun..

- hey Josh. Of course I’d love to help out. Is it far? Because cal took the car.

- it takes about 20 minutes- not to worry I’ll pick you up. Gonna bring Freya too she was complaining how she missed you. Is 15 minutes okay?

- see yous then. Xx

I hurry up and get up off the comfy couch. I was so unsure on what to wear.. though I don’t have a lot of time I decide on a pair of baggy jeans and a cute low cut crop. I threw a baggy leather jacket on over it and chucked on white converse with red hearts on them- to match the same ones cal is wearing today.

I brushed out my already curled balayaged hair, quickly putting on some blush, concealer and mascara with a bit of lip gloss.

I grab my bag and house keys, ready to leave as Josh has just text me that he is downstairs.

~~~

“You ready, y/n?” Randy asks, standing beside me as I’m due to ‘meet’ the boys.

“I don’t know why I’m nervous, Rand”

“Hey don’t be nervous” he pays my shoulder. “They love you. It’ll be such a laugh”

I chuckle. “Yeah it’ll be good. When am I on?”

He looks at his watch. “Right.. now” he gently urges me into the studio. “Good luck” he whispers.

I walk in and see all the boys lined up, callum was near the back. Harry was at the front and gasped like a child when he saw me. This caught the attention of JJ.

“No way!” Harry points. Callum is still clueless.

Ethan covers his face, and lays flat on the floor pretending to faint.

I stand infront of Harry and can’t stop laughing at their reactions.

“What the fuck are you doing?” Cal asks Ethan.

“Yo cal. Are you not seeing this?!” JJ asks.

“Yooooo what!” Callux laughs, covering his mouth in shock.

“Hi I’m y/n, I’m 22 and I’m from Scotland”

“Huh?” Cal says, poking his head around the boys to see me.

“I’ll explain later..” Josh pats his back. “..Now hurry up!”

Harry composed himself and looks at me, and then looks down to the book in his hands. “Hello, I’m Harry. And-“ he drops the book. I look at him confused.

He bends down to pick it up. “I think I dropped something” he stands back up. “My jaw” he says, with his mouth wide open.

The boys burst into laughter at his silliness.

I laugh, shaking my head. “Oh, go on then Bog” I swipe to the right earning cheers from the boys.

Stephen approaches. “Hi. We’re a perfect match. Cos I like being pegged and you’ve been fucking an arsehole for a few years”

Everyone gasps and laughs.

I sigh, and swipe left. “On you go Stephen”

“What!!” He groans like a child, huffing away to the left corner.

JJ is next, Josh is behind them and then it’s my Cal.

JJ smirks as he approaches me. “Hi. I’m JJ I’m 26. Chicken is my second favourite thing to eat in bed.. wanna know my first?”

“Sure” I engage.

“Your pussy” he points at me.

The boys all gasp- Cal looks pissed off though he knows it’s just jokes.

“JJ you know that’s another man’s job” I fire back, and swipe left.

“Ayyyyy!” All the boys jump around Cal. He laughs along with them.

“Hi. I’m Josh. Did it hurt when you fell from the vending machine?”

I look at him. Trying not to laugh.

“Because you’re a snack”

…..

“Freya.. how do you put up with him!” I swipe left.

“Hi I’m Callux. Your tits are fake but our love would be so real”

“They’re not even fake, Lux” I roll my eyes. Swiping left.

“Are they real mate?” Ethan asks.

“Mate.. so real” cal says as he approaches me.

I couldn’t hide my smile.

He smiles and winks at me before speaking. “Hi, I’m Cal. Rock paper scissors- I win I shag you..”

“Cal!” JJ gasps, laughing as the other boys gasp.

“You win you swipe left. Up for it?”

“Go for it”

“3,2,1”

Cal has paper. I have rock.

He places his hand over mine and holds it there for a sec. “Swipe right, baby” he smirks.

“Go on then” I gently push him to the right.

“You’ve got an exciting night ahead with those fake tits” Lux laughs.

“Lux I swear to god!”

“I’d like a try on those” Stephen smirks to Lux.

I approach Harry, standing beside my boyfriend.

“Harry, can I borrow this book?”

“Yeah sure” he hands me it, a bit confused.

I make my way over to Stephen and Lux and hit them on the head with the book.

Everyone laughs at their reaction.

“Ouch, y/n” Stephen rubs his head.

Lux laughs. “You’re jokes, y/n”

“Who invited you here?” Cal jokes, wrapping his arms around my waist holding me closer to him.

“Josh- very last minute” I chuckle.

“Glad he did” he kissed my head, holding my head in his hands.

“Can we go home?” I ask, looking up at him.

“Of course. Wanna stop off for food on the way home?” He asks, tucking hair behind my ears.

“You read my mind” I smile, grabbing his hand as we exit the studio. Saying our goodbyes as we leave.

[blamemma]

I’m so intrigued about this because him being in the business or even shares makes sense but why did my brain jump to ‘he’s doing to to get free stuff’. 🤣

honestly, maybe he is, i'm just throwing shit at a wall and seeing what sticks. i'm just going on what i know with my job and just general knowledge, what rand knows with her job, and meshing it all together and going welllllll this happens too often for it to not be a side-deal that's going on in some sortttt of way. or maybe, josh just LOVES enchante that much. but way too coincidental that he just happened to show up in the enchante sherpa at the coldest match of the season.....but thats just me
