Corey Taylor Explains Difference Between Slipknot and Stone Sour

(TeamRock Radio) Corey Taylor has bemoaned suggestions that Slipknot and Stone Sour sound too similar. The frontman of both bands says there is a trend for fans to follow the pack rather than make an independent judgement on the music, which he insists is clearly identifiable.

Speaking to his namesake on Las Vegas show Corey Taylor Talks, he says: "I think a lot of it comes down to my voice. Like, there's a lot of people that think when I sing heavy with Stone Sour that I'm trying to do Slipknot. And then vice versa - when I sing more melodic with Slipknot, I'm trying to be more Stone Sour."

He adds: "And it's, like, but you're not hearing the music, you're putting everything together. Like The Devil In I, a lot of people compared it to Stone Sour because a lot of it is melodic until it gets to that chorus and it punches.

"And I'm, like, 'Not really.' It's Slipknot music so it's a Slipknot song. And I think it's because a lot of people, for better or for worse, choose the easy way to figure out what they're thinking about, or what their opinion is." Read more here.
