Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor Reflects on The Death of Paul Gray

[@adrenaline112]

My man, dude talks so educated and so profound. Definitely kills the stereotypes given to heavy metal bands.

[@m00mai]

adrenaline112 yep he's pretty well spoken

[@YaHUKaB_ShaRaYAL_YaShaRAL]

Its because us metalheads are more intelligent than people think.

[@selfishstockton6123]

David Fye II how funny you throw yourself in there

[@floki7164]

adrenaline112 I didn’t know there were such stereotypes

[@kristyannandretti4637]

Florian Kirchner mostly get the labels bc of drugs and partying and so majority of people look at us like trash when we more nerdy and tech and more down to earth so other humans initially strike assumptions and/or labels bc of clothing, rowdiness, and jealousy towards our type of differences and lack of small talk ... 😝🤓🤩

[@dr.frenchtoast7620]

I love how Larry gets more and more comfortable as the interview goes on, and realizes how well spoken Corey is.

[@philbear6868]

I've met Corey 3 times...on one occasion actually hung out with him before a show...he is EXACTLY the person you see in this interview. He's down to earth with no ego and truly appreciates his fans

[@fe5018]

That's cool to hear. You really get the sense that this interview gave a solid and insightful picture of the dude but it's nice to have it confirmed 👍

[@Mothafukka0]

I push my fingers into my pies It's the only thing I really like to bake But it's made of all the things I like to taste Jesus it never ends, cooking takes too much time If the (hunger) pain goes on.....

[@JCridford]

Corey's comparison of free jazz and Sonny Rollins against metal and other genres goes to show how much this guy actually understands about music!

[@dngl21]

I would definitely watch a cooking show with Corey Taylor.

[@davidhayes6567]

Same. Definitely same🤘💖

[@sebastianperezmusic]

That is, if Larry would just let him speak

[@jacoblandman7345]

It’s very relaxing

[@DrMantoots1]

[@jefftriphahn3496]

Reminded me of Shao Kahn from MK2.

[@OZHKAR1]

[@michelleclee5504]

Chris Hayes thats funny

[@callmewaves1160]

Aww that's cute 😆

[@brunobb1]

Is it just me or does Larry King cut off Corey Taylor during most of the interview?

[@Kaiverze]

Bruno Silva it really got on my nerves, but Corey handled it very well, as if nothing. Respect.

[@ericmarshall5725]

Bruno Silva corey kinda treated it as if he was talking to his great grandfather, you can't really call him out on his shit just because he's so old aha

[@danryan3146]

+Bruno Silva It is not just you. Larry did not show much interest in Cory or his story...too bad, he seems like he has some interesting perspectives.

[@cmalexx13]

+Bruno Silva In television, the anchor has a limited time in which he has to cover all questions and topics. Larry does this in a really professional manner, and I think that Corey knows this as well. I also work at a local TV station as an editor and I know how important the air time within the program is.

[@twitch1825]

Yeah what was the point interviewing Corey if he ain't gonna listen

[@fadde98]

That awkvard moment when Larry King is scarier than Corey's mask.

[@aligamingpc6613]

Proudest accomplishment, "the fact that my kids are pretty good people" All father's everywhere felt that man. This dude has awards, money, fame... But it all comes down to family. He's got his priorities right

[@mellindrums]

Larry seems really uninterested and he clearly hasn't done any research on Slipknot/Corey/Metal music before the interview..

[@Cr4nium13]

He seems to be like that with everyone

[@marcofurtado5459]

He just lets the guest speak and never interrupts him...That's why so good at it...

[@ArrivalAlert]

Obviously hes done reseach and whatnot but there will be people watching the show thhat wont know who slipknot are so its his job to get everything across as clear as possible, do you not know how an interview works?

[@ilmarierakare3795]

Actually that is a part of his work. He does this for the audience, not for himself. However he is probably doing this work because he wants to.

[@dylanvalorfall]

Yep

[@fatherchapel]

Absolutely devastating that we lost Paul and now Joey. RIP to both legends. My heart goes out to the families and the members of slipknot 💔

[@failtolawl]

yea get your pity likes and go away

[@jackjamesgodsell9586]

Unfortunately You're right.

[@selfishstockton6123]

Larry King as well

[@MsTrBeLyFLOP]

looks like corey is at a job interview

[@aminkhalilnasab927]

exactly

[@peanutbutterisfu]

That’s a really spot on!

[@phsycosloan]

It's a little deeper than that, but yeah

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

He’s probably trying not to freak out. A kid from Iowa on the Larry King show! Who would’ve ever thought?

[@swisscheeseplease97]

Well it’s Larry King. He’s a legend in interviewing he was around for decades.

[@suttonlea8366]

"What scares you the most?" "Sharks" He was so quick to that answer.

[@williamalldredge9569]

Really makes you wonder, doesn't it?

[@whokilledzekeiddon]

I remember trying to explain Slipknot to my granddad once. It was about as uncomfortable and disjointed as this. To his absolute credit, Taylor figured out how it was going to go early and dealt with it with more humility and patience than he probably should have. Fuck, imagine if it was Clown in that seat.

[@Jacen436987]

lmfao, imagine if craig sat in that seat. "so craig, how about some questions." "......" "please?" "......." "cmon man." "......" -continues sitting there-

[@YuriMaddison]

Steven Jacen that would make for a great interview

[@WAMMO678]

Clown is a nice and reasonable guy. If you aren't rude or ignorant to him you're fine.

[@Jacen436987]

lmfao. i'd actually love to see another interview with sid, the one on inside the nine was cool. i also like the interviews jim roots had.

[@gandalf29]

There was nothing uncomfortable about the interview.

[@corbindallas18]

Everything about Larry in this just says I'm clocking in reading the questions off the piece of paper and clocking out.

[@hhoyt3501]

Thought the same thing. He doesn't know who Corey Taylor is and doesn't really care.

[@ryanvox1]

My thought too. He cuts him off constantly almost like, "Yeah I don't care lets keep this moving. I wanna get home so I can catch Murder She Wrote."

[@dylandlp19]

I would argue that that's what makes him a great interviewer. He asks questions that maybe he's not totally into but he knows the audience is. He's just old but most definitely wise.

[@djoverkin]

Nah, that's always been his style, and sometimes he gets some really genuine answers. I feel that sometimes he even asks decoy, irrelevant questions, then quickly throws the real one mid answer.

[@corbindallas18]

@djoverkin The more that I have watched this show, I would have to agree with that.

[@hiphopghost1]

Lol this more like an interrogation than an interview.

[@Orisni]

You know.... Or like a deposition

[@bchristopher7584]

lol classic larry

[@matts.5728]

I love how Corey adapts to LK's mode of questioning. There are some points where LK allows Corey to really expand on an answer, but there are times when LK is very paint by numbers and doesn't give Corey mich of a chance to fully answer but Corey goes with it accordingly.

[@barad-dur9236]

I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Corey when meeting or dealing with him. Just a genuinely nice person.

[@Bollthorn]

21:32 "You're an interesting guy, Corey." "I do okay." Loved that little exchange ^_^

[@SlimChanceDubs]

man no wonder Corey hurt his neck, must have gotten whiplash from the way Larry was asking questions

[@angelamiller2577]

Interviews like this just make me love him even more. He seems so down-to-Earth, thoughtful, intelligent, well spoken, etc. He'd be a blast to hang out with.

[@GreyhandLion]

Don't feel that Larry king paid enough respect to Paul's memory, very quickly and harshly brushed the subject. Especially such a polarising and impactful moment for the band, perhaps he didn't understand the true impact of his death; but, as with any death of a friend, he should expect a lot of pain surrounding the subject.

[@pineapplecharm1700]

Felt the same way.

[@humanimal5527]

I agree but that's kind of the style Larry King uses in his interview. He keeps the questions coming.

[@frankdrebin7949]

He didn't want to force Corey into an emotional state.

[@catrichbillay1506]

Frank Drebin Understandable

[@graysoncasto5234]

Talking about Paul's passing at all is ALWAYS very hard for Corey to do. Even now, almost 11 years later.

[@mrThorleifsen]

13:13 that's an evil laugh, he could be an awesome voice actor too.

[@theresaabreu3424]

***** His laugh is the most evil I've ever heard!!

[@Kaiverze]

***** totally agree, he could do so many roles, his voice is extraordinary.

[@cowkid220]

[@SuneTheMairn]

Larry King...of interruptions. Damn it bugs me

[@aniokey]

I will point the same thing!! it's so annoying

[@smars1161]

Yes! I thought the same thing! He'll ask one question, allow Corey to put 1 sentence in then BAM! A question that's on a completely different topic.

[@aniokey]

and He asks like three times if corey uses mask at stone sour xd and I consider so disrespectufl when he said: "do you consider heavy metal is music?"...

[@sydIRISH]

Most big shot radio/TV hosts do it. It drives me fucking nuts as well. I agree with you. If you ask your guest a question, allow your guest to answer that question. It's common courtesy.

[@southernreptile9661]

+sydIRISH I was waiting for clown to whack Larry with a bat haha

[@MarcusJagdell]

Good and interesting interview BUT King interrupts Corey quite often for more questions when Corey is about to tell something deeper, more interesting to the previous question. I would have loved to listen to all his side stories but it's always ''next question'' here.

[@mcdcurtis]

I think its because its a timed interview so he has to get as many answers as he can in the half hour, so when he think he gets all he needs he moves on to the next one

[@dudedude2938]

is kiss heavy metal? sounds like everybodies dad

[@BassGuitarGuy128]

What about U2? Are they heavy metal?

[@zamek4744]

Not my dad, he listens to metal as well. He doesn't really like Slipknot though, he likes some of their songs, same with Korn, but he likes Metallica, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth etc.

[@johncrossing]

dude dude Eh. Well. For their time they could have been considered a genre of metal. Metal has meant a lot of different things over the past few decades. Blue Oyster Cult is described as a “Heavy Metal” band, and their stuff is comparatively tame to modern metal.

[@callmewaves1160]

I would say hard rock at best.

[@GabeTheLemurPlayed]

dude dude not mine Lol he loved Kiss and also Slipknot

[@DimaShinder]

He phrases his question in a way that his mostly older audience, that doesn't know much about metal can relate to and understand more clearly. Not due to a lack of preparation.

[@zidaneigor]

Larry should be a better role model about how to communicate better... people watch him and turn into robots because thats how you will be accepted and famous... set an better example especially about respecting your communication partner, maybe?

[@anesbudiman]

As the frontman of 2 heavy metal bands that sings harsh and very loud music with scary topics/themes to talk about, Corey is super educated and humble guy and very different as a person. Love it.

[@Celestial_Being666]

Stone Sour is nothing you just said. We’re you not listening to Corey?

[@RandomPerson-jg5qm]

[@lynnteresa2328]

What an awesome interview. Corey is so intelligent and can answer questions so well. Love that Stone Sour are bringing out an album of covers next year. I've wanted them to do that for ages. Corey does great covers.

[@peterpohn2662]

I concurr ... but wtf about Larry King? Bored, always interrupting, has no clue about Corey's work ... If this interview would have been done by anyone else but Larry King ... that interviewer would have been fired right away, I imagine. Unbearable.

[@lynnteresa2328]

I totally agree with you Peter. Larry King didn't even know what band wore the masks. You're right, if it had been any other interviewer they would have had a lot to answer for. It's actually the first time I've seen a King interview. I'm in Australia and we don't get him over here. Not impressed with Larry King but greatly impressed with Corey. :)

[@CornelSeiciu]

Peter Pohn I think that was LK's role - to be a not-knowing interviewer, to be impartial, to bring out from Corey as much as possible about music, Slipknot and Stone Sour. This way a not-knowing watcher can learn more about Corey, the bands and music, because, let's face it, the general audience of LK is different from the general fan-base of Corey and his bands.

[@peterpohn2662]

Cornel Seiciu That may very well be true. :) (I do not know much about Larry King either, so maybe he is like that every time)

[@lynnteresa2328]

Cornel, that's actually an interesting take on LK. I will admit that the questions he asked would allow someone who hadn't heard of the bands, to get to know them and to get to know Corey.

[@jbsulls]

that was an awesome video. it's kind of amazing to see two very different men realize they're not so different as they appear.

[@trevisthomas9628]

Larry king was asking questions before the first one was done like "can we get this over with"

I do get down to some thrash hahahah, I like just about every genre of metal and rock but I love classical and country.

[@paradigmshiftz7]

Bomb.Throwing.Mayhem wow... Slipknot and Sinatra, an unlikely combo.

[@Guanjyn]

Good interview. I don't mind that Larry interrupts because he gets more out of Corey, instead of him going on about something on one question. Quick and to the point.

[@jakelandsbury252]

People need to stop disrespecting Larry. He's straight to the point on each question, okay he could of been more sympathetic about Corey's band mate, but Corey is clearly happy with how the interview went. He answered all the questions happily and well, I'm sure if anything pissed him off it would show. Chill guys

[@jacquelinedominguezchavira5775]

Exactly!

[@shawnc666]

I thought it was an awesome interview....

[@dave-hc2vi]

It wasn't the best interview, but that's just because King is completely clueless about metal(not surprising of course). I didn't think that there was anything wrong with how he asked anything. That's just how he is, and like you said Corey didn't seem annoyed or anything.

[@evilivy666]

I think this is a great interview for people who don't really know metal music that well, its good for more people to understand different kinds of music. Larry King isn't THAT bad. Some questions did on the spot.

[@ih8temoney]

Larry is a great interviewer! Seems extremely interested in what Corey has to say. Corey seems comfortable with the interview. Great video!

[@ginamcgill7054]

A classy guy, very easy on the eyes too, he's got that Paul Newman style good genes thing going for him. Don't know why people find fault in Larry King's interviewing, he got a lot of interesting information out of him and kept things moving when Corey might have otherwise over-explained something, and he seemed to be genuinely impressed by him at the end. Great interview by a master of the art.

[@ThePingy27]

[@jaredholton3145]

Had me at "free jazz." Really enjoyed listening to this interview, what a great artist. Very cool to hear his perspective on music.

[@johncrossing]

Asking the question ‘Is Heavy Metal even music?’ to the vocalist with the second widest vocal range in popular music is kind of ridiculous. (That’s not hyperbole by the way, he really does have a five and a half octave range).

[@mrslippyfist9155]

Jace Carsonne he has 6 almost 7 octaves now

[@swisscheeseplease97]

Late reply, but Larry King was an old man. He came from a generation that didn’t understand loud hard rock guitar music. Cut him some slack. He was born in the 1930s.

[@MTSpade]

Kudos to Corey for holding up in this, I know Larry wasnt always easy to answer sometimes, but especially the questions about metal, I felt he answered honestly and awesomely. Its gotta be a feat in itself to be asked on this show so you must feel like youve made it if you are, shame that no one else will have the privilege, RIP

[@tonyhernandez2619]

joe rogan experience has a long 2 hr interview

[@pauljh74]

Tony Hernandez From what I remember of that, it was a good back and forth, Joe either knew Maynard well enough, or at least did his homework. Larry King sounds like he just reads off cue cards and doesn't really give a fuck about his guests. Which is something that would probably piss off Maynard.

[@ZeroHootsGiveth]

[@Rukiakuchikixo]

It’s his interview style I think really. He’s very to the point and always has been I don’t understand why people don’t understand he interviews everyone’s the same. He’s also older and if metal isn’t his thing he’s personable and like a true journalist people be by being totally unbiased.

[@sofaking1627]

Never realized how much I liked Larry King He had such a genuine "no BS" style while still being so relaxed and conversational. Feels like one of those guys with no enemies.

[@hangfire5005]

I suspect Larry couldn't give less of a shit about who this guy is.

[@Whalturk]

Maybe at the beginning, but as the interview goes on, I think Larry becomes more and more eager to know more about Corey. At 21:31 when Larry says "You're an interesting guy Corey", he sounds very sincere.

Larry king was a good interviewer and had such great questions the majority of the time. I just wish he would have slowed down to actually let the person fully answer all the good questions he had. I understand he was on a network so he had a time crunch. But man if Larry king was still here today and was able to run a podcast type interview where he could take his time communicating with his guests, that would have been amazing!

[@riffsmusic7367]

Comments suggest that Larry was constantly cutting Corey off in boredom - but Larry King has interviewed everyone and does fire off questions rapidly to his guests while keeping a professional flow. In fact Larry does tell Corey he is an "interesting guy" so I'm convinced he enjoyed the interview.

HAHAHA awww bless anyways if I was a chick then id have a crush on the guy. Anyways what you were saying about the reason behind the masks I heard some where in 1998 or 1999 they had a hard tme getting signed for a record label company ( accompany that signs you and sells your material one step before getting global scale in the music business.) So I heard it was a fresh very rare seen in the 90's so if they wore masks they might get signed because the musics gd and the masks look cool it brought more attention to the band, also the masks originate from Shawn Crahan he brought in in the early days old slipknot 1996-1998 and he brought it in to scare everybody when working on the MFKR album or self debut album I cant remember which one and they whole group fell in love with the masks. Also soon after the masks are uniquely and individually made they created them themselves and they have a emotional connection to it to each masks that come out through different Era's. ill explain I think joey chose his first mask because it was the japan style mask his mother used to scare hoim with a child so therefore his first taste of the slipknot style/music, corey taylor chose his mask because it represented what he felt and thought at the time he was in a bad place in the older days so they have a unique feel and meaning to each mask, the Iowa version of corey masks look like the first one but has a battered look to it this is because well I think I heard Iowa was a bad time for them and he developed self harm and alcohol abuse and he had a bad poor childhood so the mask represents depression suicidal tendencies and melancholy, and vol 3 was a hidden face to disguise or reveal bits of him he wanted no other to see I think anyway. Theres deep meaning behind slipknot song masks and opinion's and that's why myself a 17 year old british male love them, I love stone sour too

[@honeyandlavender_]

Andy Dunn I've heard different stories as to why they wear masks. But I definitely believe this one since he, Corey, has explained it several times too.

[@honeyandlavender_]

Ross Gordon Lol, who wouldn't

[@roger3198]

I'm straight, but it still doesn't work. he's still fucking irresistible. too fucking hot! it should be Illegal. hahaha

[@drewdatification]

Hello! Corey has been on Larry King before. I thought their conversation was great and found out new things about Corey that I never knew before! Great interview!

[@broke123]

He's so even keel now. Iowa Corey would have walked out on this interrogation by now haha

[@vuhellmo884]

Or scream at him

[@graysoncasto5234]

You mean insanely drunk Corey? He comes across as a completely different person now that he is sober.

[@JordanHowmann]

Larry deserves more praise here. What a great interview. I think Larry gave many artists a platform to talk seriously but dude definitely asked emotional thought provoking questions

[@8Scientist]

Am I the only person who thinks that this is actually a really good interview. Larry asks Corey all of these open ended questions and just lets Corey have the time to give full answers. I don't think he is trying to be disrespectful at all, and I cant see him at any point trying to push his opinion on things.

[@kevinpalardy8592]

this was one of the best interviews or Corey Taylor... totally different then most interviews.. and Larry King.. well hes being himself

[@theadjuster151]

David Eastwell no way man, ido too! Corey answers everything he asks. Larry would be cool to drink beer with too!

[@ashlynkate8998]

Everybody is saying how rude he was in this when in reality this is the kindest I've EVER seen Larry.

[@scottparry4467]

Man I hate the way Larry King conducts this interview. Let Corey finish a sentence before asking another question! Is he always like this? I have never watched anything with Larry King before.

[@GnubUk]

i have to say I've never listened to metal or rock in the past, usually dance/house but when i listened to slipknot it was like a breath of fresh air .... i listen to one of there songs and i feel free to be myself. Since then I've given up drugs and kept it straight all thanks to this band

[@cinemarxism]

You know, I came into this interview having mixed opinions about Corey. But now I've seen he's wearing a Dead Kennedys shirt so he seems pretty cool ;)

[@MrJmen55]

I've seen him wear all kinds of band shirts in interviews including my personal favourite, a Nirvana t shirt. he is truly awesome

[@MrJmen55]

um are you insane? what th fuck are you talking about? I have been following Slipknot since 1999 dumbass! and at the end of the day it doesn't matter what shirt corey has on. he is awesome. lol seriously wtf!!!!!

[@danutd94]

Dude, no matter what you think about any of his music, nobody can deny that Corey is a great guy.

[@mattstamm18]

Great interview Larry King. Love Stone Sour and Slip Knot

[@ddiotte]

The man is such an amazing vocalist.

[@simonhillancocacola]

What a great interview hope this gets rid of a lot of misconceptions about the band and rock music in general. Love the new album Nomadic rocks.

[@mariamichael5394]

Corey is like a textbook of Metal and music in General

[@thoughtfuldevil6069]

6:20 I regularly hum Vermillion to myself on my way to and from the coffee shop/work. Sometimes I whistle it, too.

[@rodrrico]

Good old uninterested Larry King. Honestly, how did that vapid interviewer ever get off the ground and have his own show.

[@peterbedford449]

He's not vapid lol. He's just interviewing from the point of view of the audience that knows nothing about him. He's a good interviewer. He doesn't always get it right, but he's still a good interviewer.

[@jacstrummer-nohopers8268]

Great interview man, i think Larry king did a great job and Taylor is always a great speaker no matter what situation. Direct questions, straight faced honest interview, Larry saying "you're an interesting guy Corey" shows even if he didnt dig the tunes he still respected the guy enough to ask him honestly about the things he may not understand being from a completely different generation. cool :)

[@rekabyeroc1]

Larry's style is the same. fast questions and quick reactions. which I believe is the most genuine way you can get truth from people

[@fe5018]

Not to mention get as much valuable content as possible. I don't know if it's just the advent of hours long meandering podcast interviews that's done it, or what, but far too many people just don't seem to get the value of Larry's style here. It's weird when the proof of it is so clearly evident.

[@kottonmouthsoldier77]

I doubt you'll ever see this Larry and I think I'm kinda late but I'm subscribed and supporting your channel because of this interview
