"Sids running down the hall naked. Clowns talking about the cosmos." Im dying 😂😂

[@budthornsberry1699]

Corey Taylor is one of my favorite people ever.

[@SFBSpartan]

Corey has that voice where you could just sit here and listen to him speak.

[@trashcanjoe4902]

SFB_Spartan classical wtf 😂 theyre so different lol

[@Artisbeauty22]

right lol his voice is just awesome.

[@JoeKer1989]

I've sat through all four of his audio books and I can confirm that his voice never gets old.

[@MrDeaconDemolition]

the female equivalent would be Floor Jansen

[@bent718]

people love corey coz hes a real dude with a real attitude to everything. dont even have to be a fan of his bands to relate or enjoy his personality or opinion, genuine humble dude gotta love it

[@nemo9540]

I love how down to fuckin earth and likable let alone a fuckin interesting honest person, he is one artist I have 100% respect for him and for all the incredible material he's made. here's hoping he'll be around for many many years to go, he's gonna be still relevant in another 20 years.

[@thomasbelahonas8206]

Yeah. Corey is the best lmao. Before I knew slipknot I knew Corey.

[@Rothley131gamezz]

You can't help but like Corey Taylor

[@orcastudios4927]

WARNING! do not drink water while watching. now i have to go change my soaking shirt...and computer screen...

[@samwichx]

Lmao

[@Lindberg1984]

Or coffee.. I can verify this. And now to clean my screens.

[@SovereignAUS]

I fucking love Corey lol I could listen to him talk about ANYTHING for days on end

[@maggot-oe4mz]

Metalhead Bear ikr

[@quantumorigami3049]

I love when he laughs.

[@M4ster0fBuckets98]

"Y'know just sprprprprrrrrrrr!" - Corey Taylor, 2015

[@Tylerlesicka]

I swear this must be like the best interview Corey did so far. It's just so good!

[@CallMeMasterBabo]

he really should get on the JoeRoganExperience, i think that would make a awesome fucking conversation.

[@michaelgilbert1069]

I literally just came across this because i searched joe rogan corey Taylor. Joes pc with James hettfield i thought was really interesting. Regardless of what people think of his music, James is a fucking great dude, very kind, humble, and intellegent.

[@phenomenaldouchebag6520]

Absolutely

[@LoicPatryTurcotte]

Im down with it!!!!!

[@preston8836]

Fuck yes

[@whatisahandleplz]

@@michaelgilbert1069 I literally did the same thing man😂

[@marcidrechsler2886]

Corey Taylor is amazing! He is so smart and I agree with so much of what he says! Slipknot & Stone Sour are amazing live wanna see the stand up show! Corey is the best!

[@AltFreak25]

I remember always liking Stone Sour and being completely ignorant of the fact that the lead singer of SS was also the lead singer of Slipknot. That was mindblowing to me in such an amazing way. Now I'm dying to see both of those bands live.

[@oweeeen]

@@AltFreak25 Too bad he's letting all of that get to his head thinking he owns slipknot and everyone els is "hired musicians" in his band

[@codyactually2557]

@@oweeeen what makes you think that?

[@JordanLake25]

Fuck, they had so much fun. wish i was there.

[@rosalindaochoa3631]

I love Corey

[@TheSReaction]

If I haven't ever loved him before, I love him even more now. Just...the way he thinks, he's so concise and just thorough with his answers and he's honest for the most part! And it's true, people here in U.S. compartmentalize music here and that's crazy talk. We don't have to listen and stick to just ONE genre. I know I don't! I listen to just about everything. In fact, I think I've tasted all different types of music and just listen to whatever I'm feeling, whatever moves me whether that's Opeth, Slipknot, to Philip Glass or even Chopin. My musical tastes are just as diverse as anything else I like.

[@delululoompi]

Not gonna lie. I've watched the first 10 minutes every night for the last month. I keep falling asleep...I'm not bored, his voice is just easy to fall asleep to.

[@convairb-3656]

nice to know Mick is alright after getting stabbed

[@Yoshiling]

Corey Taylor loves Bad Brains!! Not that I needed another reason to love Corey Taylor, but I'll take it.

[@Ewilliams25]

Who doesn’t love bad brains

[@SupplementalSense]

What I can't get my head around is that someone can be the front man of two major bands and not be that well known by the masses. Goes to show how zombified the masses are.

[@thomasbelahonas8206]

Yup. I’ll be honest tho. It took me a year to realize Corey in slipknot and Corey in stone sour was the same Corey

[@madisonhulton5813]

4killerCurtis as a woman......me and many others disagree

[@phatjesus57]

Supplemental Sense everybody knows who Corey Taylor. Even rappers know who Corey Taylor is

[@RN1986DSDC]

It speaks to the point he was making about how nowadays if you come out of the right cooch and simply have a reality show, you're famous. It doesn't take talent or creativity anymore.

[@digitxl2022]

The problem is hes in a Heavy Metal band and a rock band. What are the masses listening to right now? Rap and Hip Hop/ Forms of Hip Hop. People don't stray to Heavy Metal because people find the unknown weird. Which its just music. His main problem is he isn't main stream because of his music.

[@npc1172]

Corey's rainbow in the dark cover is amazing

[@xXRogueFloppersXx]

27:55 Opie: "That's my home town" 28:15 Jim: "That's my birthday, just making it about me which is always good during an interview."

[@adammcnulty3226]

I love it when there talking about the gnr and a reunion. It literally happened like a year after this interview

[@mattkemerait]

Corey voice is so awesome. Still has the most badass vocals in Metal imo.

[@billyhartwick3448]

"if I start thinking too far into the future, I'm fucked." And that statement is so relatable. One thing I had to learn in recovery from alcohol...one day at a time.

[@malicemajesty]

Loved this! was hoping you'd post the full interview, glad that ya did. Corey Taylor rocks. He's such a cool guy ( as well as Opie & Jimmy...still miss the O,A&J trio ) Anyway, thanks Op!

[@SoulofAlice]

Finally met someone who's angrier than myself! His sense of self-honesty about his own idiosyncrasies are refreshing, which makes it so funny and not harsh! No shame, all game!!

[@platinumpatience5307]

Two people I love the most in the same room? Who could say no.

[@Vanillaraccoon1984]

Six people disliked this video...I think the one caller who was bashing Corey made six different accounts just to dislike this video more then once lol. Loved this interview, good laughs and always find Corey to be knowledgeable and funny!

[@NC-cf7kl]

Then he saw your comment and decided to make 12 more lol.

[@Mayihavealick]

Now it's 18 so he probably made 12 more just to give him what for. haha

[@slipknot4everlive]

Kanye and axl made a lot of accounts just to dislike

[@MegaMasterkiller666]

At 9:10, i love how corey can joke about paedophiles and nambla with what happened when he was a kid.

[@KingSalemence3]

Alternativegamer99 There was consent in that situation though

[@Laniiiiiiiiiii]

yep he was sexually abused by an older friend (16 years) when he was 10 years old :(

[@Laniiiiiiiiiii]

yup...

[@haydenlemke6621]

King of the Dragons incorrect Very incorrect

[@davidhamm4526]

Corey Taylor is by far one of the best song writers of all time. Complete Genius !!

[@TH_ANDY]

Holy shit this is still funny as hell and still relevant this many years later.

[@lugardefala6756]

Corey is the fucking man, you can be sure you'll be entertained with him around!

[@thatguyforte]

when the guy brought up the crown of thorns that Kanye wore I wonder if Corey thought about Joey while laughing

[@rememberdeath75]

Corey is the best rockstar out their and one of the best of all time

[@TheBlyzzrd]

I really wanna see that video of the Über driver listening to Hatebreed

[@GunDrummer]

But what does Corey taylor think about what Corey taylor said in his interview

[@s8nzangel]

Corey is such a genuine person

[@slavicharrystyles6914]

I was at his signing at Bryant Park and the Stone Pony show the day before this. Such class act. And a nice guy too. One of my biggest influences.

[@bsklasika]

its great they had Jim Florentine in studio the day Corey came in. love it.

[@CLuvTV]

I wasn't sure at first....but now I love Jim Norton

[@copperheadsevenpointthree8523]

I liked the whole thing... especially the bladder-litmus test at 38:30- didn't know my cup was full and almost pissed my pants.... Thanks guys, haven't laughed that hard in a while

[@imanf18bro]

Thanks for these Opie. Stepped away for a bit but the shows have been great lately.

[@artisticpiscean]

Corey is perfect for radio...he's on beats 1 now on apple music...about time!

[@richter1.182]

34:07 Corey making a conscious effort to not bring up “The Hot Bag”

[@loyer258]

Corey Taylor seems like a nice bloke. Never quite got into Slipknot's music though.

[@Redtee1986]

Super cool guy. I went to a festival and he hung out with fans at the gate and shot the shit, Rob Zombie was there too. He was an ass and pointedly ignored fans. Smh, Corey litterally had to be yelled at to come on it was time to go on stage.

[@skeptic6300]

ur missing out man

[@donofdabs6670]

Try listening to Slipknot - Override Slipknot - vendetta

[@Artisbeauty22]

"Axl has more talent in his pinkie then you have in your entire body" "That's a good example sir you sound like an old lady" dead X_X I literally laughed out loud at that and my bf looked at me like a I was crazy XDDD

[@monikastaniszewska741]

Wasn't planning on watching the entire video, but this was so amazing and entertaining I just had to stay here. Can't wait to see Corey in Poland!

[@yoshikitakaya7871]

LOVED THAT INTERVIEW🔥🔥🔥DAMN COREY SEEM LIKE THE COOLEST DUDE 👍👍👍

[@the_Rade]

Great dude. I love the honesty metal guys have

[@Bojachi18]

“Jimmy. Jimmy. Shuuuut uuuuup” 😂😂😂😂

[@ashtynh9601]

I love how that one caller basically made an ass out of himself. It's so funny to me.

[@slipknot4everlive]

Cool Dead kennedys t shirt

[@trickster6669]

I love how at 27:57 Opie had to mention how that's his hometown and then a few seconds later Jimmy had to get a passive aggressive dig at him That's why Jimmys the best

[@foofy14]

Fucking amazing interview. Always respected Corey for speaking the truth.

[@M4ster0fBuckets98]

My god. Seeing Corey drinking water made me want water. And I'm not that fond of water. I suddenly got an insane urge to drink lot's and lot's of water.

[@jeremiahdear6445]

Corey Taylor is so fucking awesome

[@ZinnaviGaming]

25:23 He's talking about how the younger generation will only listen to one style/genre of music, except for heavy metal fans. I've certainly noticed this. My top 3 styles of music that I enjoy the most are: 1: Nu-metal (I prefer that sound of metal over everything; Slipknot, SOAD, Static, Korn, etc. One day I actually sat down and listed all my favorite metal artists, and looked at what styles of metal they're defined as on Wikipedia and wrote down them all and found the one common genre, and it happened to be nu-metal and I believe alternative metal. I looked at the actual definition of both and found nu-metal is definitely more my style). 2: Heavy dubstep (not that poppy/rappy, vocal, soft stuff. I'm talking like gritty sounding stuff, or like the artist SYN). 3: 90s alt rock (90s had the best decade of music in my opinion; Nirvana, Audioslave, Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc). What are your favorite genres?

[@TheJohnZani]

Oh I can swear? FUCK

[@MegaMasterkiller666]

Oh no you can't say that!

[@ivonnedominguez4734]

he is a genius ! I love his voice! he can definitely get people to listen to him and do what he says 💚💀!

[@basicfeelings8375]

13:57 Well there's this short video of Corey taking a cellphone from a dude on the front row and he's just like "yeah, all right, my bad I guess" Legendary

[@stefanforrer2573]

oh man, that axel fan caller was fucking comedic gold

[@forgive89]

Corey repping the fn Dead Kennedy’s with that shirt. Nice! Dude is multi-talented and amazing for sure

[@mtb9449]

Howard Stern wishes he had this interview!

[@TattooSwag22]

omg nick's cat sound instantly killed me

[@Pierrosangue]

Florentine, Norton, DiPaolo, Taylor vibing together ? hell yes... HELL YES

[@swisscheeseplease97]

Literally the best group of guys I can think of right now. Lol made for an awesome chat

[@brycerudge7170]

Ideas for Corey's next books: "My music is better than yours! Why pop music should be flushed down the toilet" or "You listen to Slayer and you love it! Why I refuse to abuse my kids with pop music"

[@L-nw6di]

Opie you're great Corey Taylor 😊😊😊

[@alexlalime2553]

Corey is such a humble guy Has 2 successful bands Love both Slipknot and Stone Sour awesome

[@dedo7326]

I have watched this at least 7 times and this is the first I’ve noticed nick d.

[@theresaabreu3424]

I agree with him and I love him... I however do not agree with his point that heavy metal fans are the most open minded when it comes to music... All the metal shows I've been to... most of the metalheads there cringe when I mention any music genre that isn't metal.

[@vampiregirl1434]

Agreed. He's wrong. Real metal heads do not take too kindly to other genres.

[@JimmyTheTimonen]

***** I think corey means the new generation of metalheads. Between 10-25 aged metalheads where i belong too :D I personally have noticed that the people who are born in '80s or '70s are not very open minded, cause they are used to listen to metallica, slayer, black sabbath etc and doesn't wanna hear any new type of metal or music, like hip hop and pop. But the current generation is totally different, even the bands who are mixing up hiphop and metal like limp bizkit and slipknot in some cases.

[@BlisterOfSerotonin]

Vampiregirl Real metal heads? How about you can be a metalhead and like what music you want without judgements from people who say "real metalheads don't " because those who feel that they have metal superiority are actually insecure posers?

[@BlisterOfSerotonin]

Vampiregirl Wait.....I can't believe I fell for that lol

[@vampiregirl1434]

+Laura Jablonski Stop being such a hater. Everyone cares about my opinion!!!!!

[@KianFDrums]

There was a news broadcast on the T.V. about the Confederate flag at 26:28 lol

[@L-nw6di]

Corey Taylor 🌻🌻🌻

[@brycerudge7170]

I'm only thinking one thing: where can I see that video of the old man dancing in the uber?!?!

[@Jay_Dub22]

I love how Corey laughs with his whole body. Gets his money's worth lol

[@taintedbloodrain1889]

32:55 "Sids running down the hall naked"-Corey.T.Taylor

[@Jakelivelysucks]

I love the video aspect.

[@OptLtges]

29 hours so stoked.

[@samanthaseningen5455]

Gorgeous and intelligent

[@Techn9que]

So glad I found this

[@daviddelano-oakes1082]

I love that book way to go Corey Taylor your fuckin awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@sheryllloyd820]

such an inspiration man, he has such great views on the younger generation and everything he says you can't fault him on because he can back his sh*t up! He's also been through some tough times and come out of it a stronger, better person. I'd love to meet him and just have an intellectual conversation with the man!

[@kylezieroff7442]

Is that Bobby Tongs filming in the background?!?!?!

[@TheSwede9]

I'm only finding these awesome interviews recently. How fking cool is Corey Taylor. And that volley at 9:00 between all three with a Jim Norton slam dunk at the end made me laugh so hard. It doesn't get better than that.

[@tonyf5869]

Corey Taylor in a Dead Kennedys shirt is the last thing I ever expected.

[@metalabsynth]

and they can dance if they want to!!! best part of the interview

[@shianneferrell8268]

14:55 very relevant for what's going on in the world today. I love that Corey speaks his mind, no matter who he offends to stand up for the ones that get pushed to the side. Fucking rock on

[@SweatDrenchedProductions]

Funniest guys i have ever listened to and get great stuff from their interviewees

Opie show is the best

[@Sabrewulf007]

SlipKnoT and Mushroom head yesssssss

[@ashleywobschall5803]

6 years later....hes touring solo and with CMFT

[@CLuvTV]

Who is sitting to the right of Corey? I hear Opie, Florentine and Norton but who's the other guy

[@Redtee1986]

Yess!! If you look at my spotify playlists I go from Slipknot to Halsey to 70s rock to rap lmao

[@codyactually2557]

@ Adolescent Punk In Training in the exact same. I might go straight from slipknot to the weeknd, and people argue w me that you can't do that all the time. But I think when it comes to music just listen to whatever gives you the feels

[@redlightclinicdrummer]

So does every other girl lmao

[@Redtee1986]

Kris Poorman and your point?

[@Kloxbyn]

Jimmy is getting really thin. He looks healthy but I don't think he needs to lose anymore weight. I've noticed Jimmy's behavior and health tend to lean towards one extreme or the other. He went from being a hardcore drunk to stone-cold sober within a year. He went from overweight to very thin in just a couple of years. When he's in a relationship, he fully devotes himself to one partner; when he's single, he 'retains the services' of a variety of hookers.

[@NoEasyFeet]

Cloxboy Some people can only do extremes. I don't think I could consider myself an addict but from what I've heard about recovery: most replace one addiction with another because they can't help but go all in with something, healthy or not. I agree with you though. "Skinny Jimmy."

[@leoduke5311]

He actually addressed it in his Mouthful of Shame and Contextually inadequate specials

[@boomzoom8864]

slipknot fans vs west fans thing sounds kinda funny when tv behind them starts to show footage from Iraq or something with us troops engaging in firefight

[@mr22turner]

When Corey catches Opie on his phone...boom.

[@steel7997]

17:45 "Quaalude's and Benadryl", classic opie suckage.... Completely ignored by all. "Watch Jimmy, automatically dismiss him".

[@andreagurdulich1796]

I'm just watching this again and I fucking love that while Corey is talking there's a tv behind him with Donald Trump, if he had notice he would punched that tv for sure eheheheh

[@pramudananjaya1548]

I think Corey admits he isn't the GREATEST rockstar, (BIG SLIPKNOT FAN), but he is a PHENOMENAL ROCKSTAR!!!!!!

[@staticsyndrome2011]

Oh god that caller around 43 minutes was hilarious!

[@masterblaster8386]

I'd love to hear a nopie edit of this
