(Gibson) Slipknot singer Corey Taylor has revealed that the songs on Slipknot's first album were mostly written in the bathroom of a pornography store. The frontman told The Guardian that he used his time at the shop to inspire the band's early stuff.

"The lyrics for the first Slipknot album were written in the bathroom, while I was working 9 a.m. 'til 8 p.m. at a porn shop," he said. "I would always have my notebook and pen, and for some reason, every time I'd go to the bathroom I'd start writing something great."

Porn wasn't the only inspiration. Taylor also gave credit to Nirvana, Tom Petty and Pink Floyd, as well as writers Hunter S. Thompson and Allen Ginsberg. more on this story
