Stone Sour Offer Comic Bonus
. As if two discs aren't enough, this release offers a twist. Accompanying the dual disc set is a four-issue comic book series, a graphic novel and if the singer has his way, a screenplay. According to Taylor, the two albums are meant to be played back to back, creating a cohesive, linear story. Adding yet another dynamic to the release, the guys would call on Rachel Bolan, songwriter and bassist for '80s hair-metal legends Skid Row. "For a band like us, we're very aware of his body of work," explained Taylor in an interview with Radio.com. "I think Rachel is one of the most underrated bass players out there." "We had a couple of guys' names," recalls guitarist Josh Rand, who went on to explain that the person originally lined up for the bass fell through due to scheduling conflicts. After going down a wish-list of names, he and Taylor arrived at Bolan. Rand explained that he'd been thinking of Bolan the whole time. "I love the (Skid Row) album Slave to The Grind. Everything that everybody's mentioning about what they want out of the bass, he's done in one record. So I asked everyone, 'what if we asked Rachel Boland to come in?'" Taylor proceeded to track down his number and phone him the very next day. More including a stream here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
