An interviewer that doesn't constantly interrupt and allows the guest to get comfortable. Great work 👍🏼

That was what I enjoyed about this interview as well. There was no interrupting and Corey was able to finish his thoughts.

[@louiseb9692]

It's a rare thing. In terms of mainstream TV, only Graham Norton (BBC) let's the guest really talk. That's obviously a different format to podcasts that can give a lot more time to an individual, but regardless of format, it is rare and this guy deserves credit for this one.

their last 2 albums were pretty weak tbh... it just isnt the same.. 4 members gone.. the whole writing process is completely different.. so i dont know, its cool that it keeps evolving but it just aint the same sound everyone fell for in the beginning imho

@@fourseven6202 I agree, but, as a fan, we need to take in consideration all the shit they had to deal with, deaths, fights, lawsuits. They needed a little “jump start” to bring back the energy.

I love Corey Taylor, and how proud he is of Slipknot. He's got a great sense of humor even through much tragedy in his life and his band member's lives. He is a beautiful man, with amazing talent, and a gorgeous voice even when it's singing the darkest songs. I hope to see Slipknot doing concerts for many more years. Thank you for giving me the glorious addiction that IS Slipknot, and Corey.

[@nickmathis6136]

Such a good interview, Zach. Prepare for a million news headlines on metal websites for the next month from this interview because of how much he revealed here😂

[@shawnkhodai7665]

This. I've seen a bunch of Corey Taylor interviews and this might be one of the best ones.

[@JohnnyGingy]

Love Corey talking about the Beatles. I knew he liked them so when I met him during the coolest vip experience I ever had 11 years ago I won a charity auction to be guests of Slipknot for the day so we got to hangout backstage all day! We hung out side stage for Motörhead, Slayer and Slipknot it was truly amazing. When we first arrived to the venue we had to meet the tour manager to find out what was going to be happening during our (experience) while we were talking to her Corey strolls in with a coffee mug and just sits down next to my Duffy and me and just starts talking she informs him we won the auction and he immediately cringes and says why would you spend that much money for us while laughing and I immediately said “cause you’re our f*cking Beatles man, wouldn’t you spend whatever you could to hangout with them” and he took a sip of coffee and said ooof man you know what thats fair and he shook our hands and we all laughed.

[@rockintanz1]

What an awesome experience! I’m glad you had a blast. Corey & The Beatles are legends 🖤🤘🏼😊

[@sunshiney3617]

I can tell you I have been to too many concerts to even begin to tell you and Slipknot and Stone Sour are by far at top of the list of most phenomenal concerts I have ever seen! I look forward to going every tour! Don’t miss out on seeing them live if you get the chance. The energy they both bring are some of the best! I am so lucky my teenagers go with me to see them now. I have some of my favorite memories growing up and as a Mom with my kids at Slipknot shows!

[@fabiangonzalez3365]

That's so awesome to read. I have a 1 almost 2 year old girl who loves Slipknot. I'd feel super lucky to bring her to a show when she is old enough for it to be age appropriate. Slipknot live is the most electrifying thing I've ever seen that I hope they are around when she is old enough to see it. Congrats on your memories with your kids.

[@Steveo3332]

[@liormor3290]

You are so right! Corey is so smart and talented, and most importantly - humble, down to earth. I highly value all these qualities.

[@TheShhSecret]

[@CandieKingery-xf3bj]

Thanks!

[@bibbaaah]

I live in Nebraska, the neighbor to Iowa, And I am so proud to say that a band such as Slipknot came out of the Midwest. My fiance got me into Slipknot a couple years ago and they quickly rose to becoming one of my favorite bands. I was given a bunch of metal CDs from someone for free because they didn't listen to metal and among those CDs were the Iowa album and slipknot's self-titled album and I am still shocked that I was able to get those magnificent albums for free. I also very much enjoy Stone sour and cmft, and just Corey's voice is so nice and his vocal talents are almost unmatched. I love the mindset of this man. He only makes me respect him as a metal vocalist more and more when I hear him talk about the music and the bands. He's one of those vocalists who is not full of himself and did not come from a well-off household and really had to hustle to make it and that is incredibly respectful. Corey Taylor is definitely one of my favorite metal vocalists and I hope someday I am able to meet him. 🤘🖤

Corey has to be one of the easiest celebs to sit down and interview. His language is impeccable, he’s intelligent, interesting, full of stories, and most of all…..he answers the questions with answers as if he had rehearsed them for decades. He needs to host a children’s story-telling show!

[@alvinbs1221]

I wonder he thought about pop music honestly right now ( remember couple years ago how hate Corey for pop music ?) because this show usually invite for pop artist such as tori kelly, blackipink, etc esp Ariana Grande, her and Zach kinda close for each other .

CT is my hero, has been for a long time. At a meet and greet about 12 years ago, I clammed up and couldn't tell him what he meant to me. We took our picture and had a nice chat, then he moved down the line. My wife, unbeknownst to me, took her Meet and Greet time to tell Corey what he means to me. It's one of the most beautiful things she ever did for me. After listening to my wife, Corey turned and walked back to me. He gave me a giant bearhug and whispered "it's people & fans like you that help keep me going when times are rough. Thank you", and he walked away. I held myself together until I got home, then I cried like a baby. Corey Taylor just thanked me? Like, what the fuck?! Amazing moment I'll never forget.

This is one of the best interviews of Corey and I’ve seen them all. Great questions.

[@MetalBaller83]

I’ve been listening to and following Slipknot since 2000. They are one of my top five favorite bands of all time. If I come across an interview with Corey, I always check it out. After almost 25 years of being a die hard fanboy, I have come to know one simple truth about Corey Taylor: That dude is 100% genuine and authentic. There isn’t one thing about him that’s fake. He and I differ greatly on our political views, however there are very few people (if any) in this world that I admire more than him. He’s a good man. One of my favorite lyricists and singers of all time from any genre of music. His words have helped me through some hard times, and continue to do so to this day. I’m grateful that I have seen Slipknot several times over the years; and two of those times were with the original lineup between 2000 and 2002; when the only two records they had released were their self titled and Iowa. I was 18 at the time, and I will NEVER forget those shows. Those are memories that will stay with me until the end. Cheers y’all 🤘🏻😈🤘🏻

[@volutedmetal8543]

he was super polite and thankful for us all being there at a meet-and-greet the other day! i know that's not 'on the street', but he spent a lot of time talking with everybody about how he's missed playing shows in our area (Huntington, WV) and wants to come back with Slipknot (he last played here with Stone Sour about 12 years ago, and has never played with Slipknot).

[@theplaguepadart3743]

Slipknot is bigger then all the members. I found Slipknot in 2002 After my father died. Was my first Dive into rock/Metal. i was 12 when he passed. 10 days after my birthday. Im a bit choked up saying this but i dont think i would be here if it wasn't for them and their music. I was able to vent out so much with Iowa and Subliminal through music that i couldn't voice. For 21 years I've listened to Slipknot Daily or every other day. I have never met them. Ive seen them live with all OG members, But never met them but through their music i feel like they are family. I cried when Paul died. And All Maggots old and new. Its special because we are a family, we may never have met, but i feel like if i see someone make a slipknot post and im feeling down i could message them and they would give a fuck because they are also a maggot. Slipknot is more then just Music in a way. My gram passed 3-4 months ago and slipknot is my Bandage SLipknot is what gets me through it. from falling to deep in the dark to those spaces where you could make a permanent choice for temp problems. They are my Absolute Favorite band and always will be.
