[@emkii1640]

Iowa level of heavy......ok im calling it: Best album of 2019

[@rebeccamcguire4189]

Nix Garnix not best I can guarantee it will probably fall flat Paul and Joey gone I doubt that album will have that I done lvl of intensity that Iowa did grey chapter sucked and in my opinion was one of slipknots worst CD to date so I'm not holding my breath on it being the best I don't wanna be didapointed

[@slipknotislife821]

Hell yes

[@duckmonster921]

Didn't they say that about the AHIG album?

[@jtturrentine9092]

Corey just got done saying things about expectations, if you just hear it without having high expectations you can enjoy it

[@callmewaves1160]

Rebecca Mcguire The Gray Chapter kicked ass dude.

[@brodieyake7735]

How is it that Corey looks younger with every new interview?

[@OrangeAtomicRugTM]

Brodie Yake he went from going to old, and now he's getting young again

[@Colin.W]

He's been working on a healthier lifestyle apparently

[@cosmin1518]

new gf

[@SINGHDASLAYA]

He quit smoking and other drugs so his body is reviving itself!

[@V1nc3nt2009]

Extremely humble, I admire him so much for staying that way……I hope everyone thinks the same 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤘🏻🇬🇧😎

[@justinalexander5959]

I can always listen to Corey, new Slipknot album is a bonus

[@stephgoodman7687]

*Anyone else come back to this interview 2019 after the new Slipknot album dropped? He wasn’t wrong...it’s insane* 🤘

[@caseybevins1962]

I WANT A SLIPKONT/STONE SOUR/COREY TAYLOR COLORING BOOK !!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO... I REALLY WOULD BUY EM...LOL

[@LiplessErmine27]

casey bevins great stocking stuffer for the kiddos

[@lynnteresa2328]

Such a great interview. He’s amazing.

[@callmewaves1160]

I love this guy so much I could just listen to him talk for forever. He is just a class act 💕 Yes please for the Corey Taylor coloring book. 🤣 Also as a huge Patton fan I was so chuffed to hear Corey mention him and say he is the reason he sings. My day was made lemme just say.

[@falkofscrum]

Since Corey is an actor, imagine an R-rated Batman movie with Corey as The Dollmaker :D

[@nalariel6356]

Please elaborate por favor

[@Syphilon]

If he was bald and didn't have tattoos, he could be a side as Victor Zsas. He looks the part besides those things.

[@jackbrown4697]

legend award deserved, it took this amazing band 22 years to recieve this, that's a long time, but at least they got it

[@lNuminousl]

Cameraman needs a tripod more than i need a will to live

[@theinfantfinite1243]

Yeay New Slipknot Album I'm so excited

[@Mike-oz5pp]

I'm not even a big fan of his band anymore, but he is def a genuine,honest,nice guy, gotta appreciate that

[@wanderergrim]

Since he can feel the songs on his back. Perhaps they should have a slipknot physiotherapist, who wears a renaissance doctor mask

[@OrangeAtomicRugTM]

MutatedShaman more like a chiropractor

[@callmewaves1160]

Lol or a plague mask

[@Nova-cj2qh]

renaissance doctor mask is a plague doctor mask same thing different terminology

[@paulmader1052]

This guy is super talented can't wait for the new album

[@mattyh6360]

Yes can’t wait for the new album 🤘🏻

[@Coreytaylorrock2]

@matty Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.

[@sambrightman1152]

19:50 is what you came for

[@BrandonHasAChannel]

*Top man, Sam Brightman*

[@kendrai.304]

this is an absoloute brilliant interviewer as he listens to the answers and lets him go off on his answers. and yes!! mr.taylor of course with answering his way and giving the real vibes in the answers. so amazing!!!!

[@Coreytaylorrock2]

@kendra Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.

[@unusedsn]

I mostly listen to trance but I love Corey, he's just always so interesting.

[@matthewconway1494]

It took me while to get use to the album Hydrograd when it came out I was like 🙃, I only liked three songs from it, then St Marie I heard and I did finally understood the rest of the album. Can't wait for the new Slipknot Album, we haven't seen them live since 2016, now the new album is in process, we can't wait to see our brothers/Lifesavers live on stage again 🤘🏾.

[@ezerahmartinez7621]

You’re a legend Corey for sure

[@serious_m3189]

Corey:"You know" me:"for the 1000th time I KNOW!"

[@Anonymous-ng4wc]

MEHDI M-J Adam Gontier is the KING of you know 😂

[@alexgrab3086]

Jim Root

[@lollmao7834]

hes got that from jim

[@alejofinten5615]

when he said that he talked with chris about the album... that shit hits me, i really miss chris in the band

[@steveruffhead1906]

Met this dude in 2016 hoping too again when they tour the uk next year absolute legend and really a nice guy showed him my identical Paul tattoo (to his) that i have and he loved it i have a new slipknot tattoo now (and hopefully another by the time they get here)

[@luisoliveira9065]

I could listen Corey for hours and hours

[@bazik4]

Corey's favorite line "at the time" I'm surprised it isn't in any of his songs.

[@wartywizards7998]

the fact that Shawn is always referred to as clown is funny. every body else in the band gets called their name but Shawn is clown. i always refer to him as Shawn and sometimes people have no clue who that is. haha

[@SK23.]

Yeah lol

[@DaHatBat]

i wonder if it has something to do with his mask. He was always the most obvious out of all of them, while the other masks were more obscure.

[@Lectric_Blue]

I'm not a Slipknot fan, but that was a great interview. He came across as interesting, respectful and genuine.

[@bolle8140]

I was in 02 Arena/Hamburg. It wa absolutly KILLER!!!! Love you guys!!!

[@greenmatrix30seven]

Great interview

[@daviddelano-oakes1082]

My kid's would love a slipknot colouring book hell I would like one to lol. Corey Taylor you fuckin legend you 😁😁😁😁

[@NightcrawlerLuver]

Yes! New Slipknot album!

[@victoriaminnich8174]

Best 50 I spent this morning!!!

[@Coreytaylorrock2]

@victoria Hello, how are you doing? It is nice meeting you here.

[@treysword1443]

20:00 where he talks about the album

[@oohahitsanrccar1913]

Been waiting so long at least we know it's happening!!!!

[@djaycoughlin2817]

Damn right that dude is a LEGEND 🤘🤘

[@twiztiddiesel5075]

I'd pay double ticket prices just to see Corey and Shawn switch positions for one full show. Fuck yes!!

[@mikesmusic1000]

that night he was on about at rock city Nottingham I was there and got the VIP - it was a an amazing time and first time seeing them live and 2 years later I saw Slipknot live again for the first time at the motor point arena Nottingham it was awesome -- but honestly If you don't like metal just go and see both bands live just for the experience.

[@Americafirst89]

I have OCD , and I never thought of song #3 being in track five , messing my inner picky lol , I just thought there was meaning behind it 🤘🏼😎

[@VileMisanthrope]

I'm pretty sure Corey has a level of loving to piss people off.

[@chrissyb7916]

Defintely think a Corey Taylor color book would be amazing.

[@xWagnerPlaguesx]

The host looks like a British version of Trevor Strnad of The Black Dahlia Murder

[@marcusaschenbrenner3126]

xWagnerPlaguesx Trevor and Corey need to collaborate that be some badass shit

[@themetalkid9864]

God 😂😂😂 yes he look like Trevor Strnad 😂

[@shanetaylor6823]

A colour book is genius all the adults with kids will buy 2 each 1 for the and one for the kids 😂

[@radum.6456]

Well, this changed my perspective on Through Glass.

[@kornkittenjoshmom2393]

Willie Wonka'D his career, mad respect ,, big love🤘 Rip Vinnie Paul

[@SIREN1990]

There was no conversation whatsoever, he just asked questions straight after the answer to the last one. As in depth and amazing as every reply was. Cold

[@geddyleesowlnose]

YOU CAN DO IT!

[@greenmatrix30seven]

😂😂😂😂

[@QlimaXtheSecound]

seeing the tattoo of heath ledgers jocker on his inner arm .. now i get his new mask

[@jamiehurst759]

The Rollins story is how I'd be if I met Corey Taylor.

[@mattboselli1099]

Havent really gotten into stone sour. I will try no dought about it. As for slip knot cant wait till the new album

[@darksirens4472]

Cannot fkn wait💝💝to see him again

[@jakesklodowski9321]

Goddamnit Corey Taylor is awesome.

[@tom8toe117]

21:40 Wait craig talks

[@regorf]

No, Corey talks TO Craig, not WITH Craig.

[@johannas8284]

He talks to Craig?????

[@greenmatrix30seven]

Apparently

[@Metalandrockconcerts]

Doesn't mean Craig talks back! Lol 😂

[@TheRibbedDamascus]

TO Craig. Not WITH Craig. Lol

[@DieAlready]

Johanna S Craig sits silently, or grunts occasionally.

[@sleepysmiles7613]

lol

[@wallyordona159]

Fucking great! Hoping to see Corey on tour with Ozzy and Stone Sour in San Diego on my birthday in October.

[@nickalasgoff3283]

dude I was about to say if this new slipknot album is just like the grey chapter. 5 Corey Taylor said it's gonna be Iowa level heavy it's worth waiting for

[@traviseastwood]

Self titled

[@greysons3612]

It was worth it

[@cablepp]

22:10 for Slipknot album announcement

[@nickalasgoff3283]

Cable Iowa level he said can't wait

[@mr.nervedamagegaming8050]

It’s 20:10 lol. I went to your timestamp, Cable, and it’s literally the moment where he is talking about doing other things besides music.

[@ronwebbjr6735]

And this is the comment I was looking for 😂 thanks brotha good looking

[@_SliK_]

Gracias

[@tagsoup3412]

Youre a saint. I love you for this.

[@nikodemvankenobi]

I love that people already forgot that he ALWAYS teases the next SK album as "Iowa level heavy"

[@Louisee77]

the gray chapter was pretty fucking heavy, easily their best album so far.

[@madisonhulton5813]

Beatriz Rosewood best album? I don’t think so, it was definitely top three though. Compare that actually to Iowa or self titled and it’s tricky to pick one out.

[@Louisee77]

@@madisonhulton5813 not even a hard choice imo

[@madisonhulton5813]

HeЯald to be fair, that’s true. I was quite shocked when I went back through slipknots catalog. If you hadn’t heard it before, you’d think it was a different band.

[@skydogg1323]

Everyone is all going crazy about what Corey Taylor said about the new Slipknot record but you have to understand he probably wouldn't have said this if a fan didn't ask him about it and that someone was me so where's my credit. Just kidding really happy and excited about Slipknot's new record and glad I was the one who asked him so FUCK YEAH!!!

[@kimobassett765]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@INTJ91]

He's so British in this, I fucking love it. Couldn't believe he said the word 'chuffed' xD

[@joemommma69]

Take a shot everytime he says "you know" good luck.

[@JacoBoy21]

Joe Norks s Blah blah blah blah blah you know, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah Blablah you know, blah blah blah you know, blah blah blah blah you know RIP X

[@xWagnerPlaguesx]

Jim Root is just as bad lmao

[@OrangeAtomicRugTM]

xWagnerPlaguesx worse, but it's the whole band

[@ihavewaited90daystochangem51]

xWagnerPlaguesx jim? look at joeys interviews.

[@joemommma69]

Cameron Crawford because im a slipknot fan wtf?

[@damien5956]

Omg I've won the mike shinoda one 2 days time!

[@YLS8763]

Corey ‘Y’Know’ Taylor

[@eddiecampbell3514]

"Had no intention of writing a number 1 song like that, I was just throwing up outta my ass"

[@DamonWhitt]

I would buy a coloring book

[@traviseastwood]

Hell fucking yes. Make it brutal like the old days

[@CLuvTravels]

He talks like a Hunter S Thompson book

[@1_benjy_1]

the way he said coloring book disturbs me😂

[@deejaysundquist-wheeler3621]

Fuck yeah Iowa level of heavy can't wait

[@themetalkid9864]

FREDDY MERCURY IS A FUCKING LEGEND TO

[@texas4life88]

When he was talking about warming up his voice before a show makes me wonder how Layne Stayle warmed up before shows. Layne voice had a haunting grit tone with distortion more than Corey, either layne didn't warm up or he did more to warm up. Curious

[@11951miguel]

Is it me or does it look like he got his sleeves filled in?

[@richvillalobos9042]

Miguel Guerrero def, more so than the larry king interview

[@sacul1291]

20:00 For the slipknot announcement.

[@czarowli4828]

He’s so godamn humble

[@Itachi_Uchiha___]

A new album already?? It’s only been three years lol.

[@connorscoarsefishingjourne7680]

Corey is my guy. I would love to meet him and sit and just chat shit with him for hours

[@SK23.]

He probably wouldnt mind that tbh. Hes just that type of guy now

[@iio58]

That cute girl in the black toxic t shirt and black lips couldn’t be any more gooey eyed at Corey 😂

[@TheCandlekane]

How tf is he 46 years old!?? He literally looks 28

[@ihavewaited90daystochangem51]

cameraman seems to desperately need a coffee fix.

[@stipser1]

Awesome interview but 80% of have already been split into a bunch of half assed guitar pro articles

[@reighn401]

Hail Corey!!! /Bow

[@reighn401]

13:13 hehe Eve's Droppers of me... Composing... Say I scare them...

[@Onedayilbeok]

You can have my money right now!!!

[@V1nc3nt2009]

‘Iowa level of heavy’! 😁 …….SHITS ABOUT TO GET FUCKING REAL! 😂

[@ingokolb6871]

i hope these blue lines on coreys neck are tatoos.

[@BuenoWRLD]

Ingo Kolb ikr!? Looks so weird when the camera zooms into his neck

[@heenymeety406]

They are

[@tylerdurden7343]

its from his zombie bite tattoo

[@nymri8537]

Was looking for this comment - lol thank you!

[@callmewaves1160]

Bueno Killer I noticed that too! But that being said, some people are really veiny, I have really visible veins in my arms and chest area.

[@456dju]

me contaron que corey sufre de hemorroides es cierto esto que guíen me saque de dudas gracias saludos

[@platinumpatience5307]

Corey said he had 16 songs written for the new album???

[@chirondawn2966]

I warm up by talking and clearing throat at same time sounds like I'm barking Haha but my scream is epic and my melodic notes are not strained. Not squawking and sounds like I actually know what I'm doing Haha. Thanks @coreytaylor for letting me know I'm not only one who warms up with a bark

[@mattic7788]

To be honest, i dont think the new album will be as good as it's being hyped. I hope im proved wrong but without Paul and Joey i just dont see it.

[@bea1683]

And now without Chris 😂

[@456dju]

me contaron que corey es adoptado es esto cierto que alguien me saque de dudas gracias saludos

[@DeuceSF]

The host is so bland...

[@valdemar6980]

45:20 least favorite mask

[@456dju]

me contaron que el hijo de corey va a sacar el disco de regueton es eso cierto que alguien me saque de dudas saludos los malditos del rock

[@XxTheGoOfYxX]

People really knocking the camera work? lol ok... you guys are clearly the best at everything I can't wait for you interviews to come out

[@456dju]

me contaron que corey tiene problemas de pekueca crónica es cierto esto que alguien me saque de dudas gracias saludos
