I get bands need to stay in the public eye with a new album but a loss like Paul is hard. I played in a local band some years ago. If I got sick or had something personal to take care of then I was ridiculed and told I wasn't dedicated to the music. What's sad is the person saying this to me was hooked on pills and could barely play his instrument. He would disappear for hours to days then call everyone to come practice at all hours of the night. I finally got fed up and quit.

Take some time off, find a hobby, and do that until your passion comes back. It’s not like this guy has a shitty job at 7/11, living paycheque to paycheque, driving a rust bucket that constantly breaks down and can barely afford food. THAT shit is hard! Being a rockstar is probably a really hard job though, but here’s the secret: you can stop being one anytime you want! It’s like these guys want all the positives and none of the negatives that come with fame. If it’s that hard, quit the band and go find a regular job. I guarantee that after seeing your paycheque for 40+ hours, you’ll realize how lucky you are to be up on that stage. Anyway, whatever.

[@JohnnyHellraiser]

This is me. When you go clean for a certain period of time, you start to become comfortable and confident and that leads to being reckless and being reckless leads back to the addiction. Some people can completely stay away after rock bottom. Some need to not quit but keep it under control or they lose it all. Some have given up and accepted their fate. I for one have made enough mistakes to keep it under control, it's a dangerous game but that's life.

Taylor seems to say periods of his life are the worst ever with almost every period. It starts to seem like he needs to do something to fix it. There’s always obstacles you just need to overcome them. Also I don’t think it was just the touring that put strain on his body, it might also have to do with alcoholism and the way he treats his body. Just saying it seems like they complain about money a lot but I don’t see them living in rags.

James showed Metallica what was more important! I remember the bs that some Metallica fans were spewing, along with pos Lars, he only gave 2 shits about the band not James family or his well being It's was all about the money to him! I gained so much respect for his choice back then, I will say as a Metallica fan it did take some getting use to when he got back on the stage bc that's when I realized we had never heard him sing without being wasted, it did effect his sound n his performance on stage but it seems he had to get use to it too , he is back now n still rocks the hell outta us all!😂❤

Didn't he take that dumpster story word for word from another musician? Edit: Yes he did, he straight up just took the story from Nikki Sixxs' biography

[@ginadellgrottaglia6897]

Look. This is a guy who thought it was ok to email #1 that he was outa the band... while he was in the hospital. I expect anything from him.

[@hortyist1]

When I was a child I remember trips to goodwill drop boxes (Portland Ore.) in the middle of the night. My mom and her boyfriend, looking for the treasure that was ..."one mans garbage" 1969 btw.

[@user-rz3gv2gp9y]

Corey And The Egos. When is he going to marry himself?

[@dudefrombarrie]

Every fan that loves music has to appreciate what these guys go through to get there. We often only see the glamorous part. It can be a fragile exisitnace as these guys are human just like us. To all the bands that have made incredible music for us to enjoy...Thank you from the bottom of our hearts.

[@jimmckenna7007]

I hope he gets better for him and his family. Slipknot got me through alot in life the loss of friends,breakups, and a bunch of bad days when they finally split its like I lost something. Get better brother we love seeing u up and takin names and kicking ass

[@l30n.marin3r0]

On that note, this is a good study business because: Jordison said that the band will always exist as if Slipknot was a creature of its own and that being the case, it continued even without Jordison and Taylor has also said that Slipknot is bigger that the sum of its parts, whetever the hell that means. A band is a business no matter how romantic some people want to make having a band seem...it's a business, it's a company...

[@jacobjohnson8686]

I remember Clown saying years back that he's always envisioned a day when Slipknot would have no original members left; it was a band intended to carry on even through new generations of members. In fact, he was considering his son as his replacement at that point, saying he only had a few years left in him. This was like 12+ years ago, I think, haha.

[@hangedups2608]

NO ITS ONLY A BUSINESS IF YOU MAKE IT ONE

[@l30n.marin3r0]

@@hangedups2608 And that's why there's a lot of losers complaining that "you can't make money off of music" I did not spend years learning many instruments and audio production, strings, cables, amps, mikes, stands, gas, holidays for a hobby. Then again, people can do or think whatever they want but then why come and talk shit about somebody who got his money a certain way and call him names too? If I decide to play for free of pennis, why get angry at someone else who is getting millions off of people buying his stuff???

[@Iwillbehavebutwontbeslave]

corey please dont relapse we all know we gonna hear the iowa screams again, but u will fuck ur self up soo much again, please dont give up on us i love you man❤

[@seNor916x4]

Taylor gets in relationships like the South Park episode where Cartmans mom has a new lover every other day and thinks it’s her Prince Charming every time.

[@Ace13Drums]

This was a Great Watch! ❤ This is why I've ALWAYS Loved Metal and Metalheads... We all click because we've all been threw some shit in our lives. Joey was also one of my Biggest Influences as a Drummer.

[@tyroneatkins7238]

Good luck BRO, I too struggle with depression and it's a MOTHER FUCKER, glad you were able to CATCH IT and DEAL WITH IT BEFORE ITS TO LATE. Hoping and praying for you. You have ALWAYS been one of my FAVORITES!!! (Chad Grey, Layne Staley and Corey Taylor) are the BEST DAMN VOCALS EVER and i will ARGUE THAT TIL I TAKE MY LAST BREATH...G9OOD LUCK BRO❤

[@markpugh6808]

There is no help you have to suck it up and man up be strong etc you only get sympathy and help if you are a chick or a child

[@selw0nk]

The video in the car looks really sick. I don't want to think he has cancer or something.

[@T.Maximus]

He is drained and sad in the video.

[@marissac870]

It is pretty SiC

[@neilsimkins4074]

I remember seeing him on the English program 'Sunday Brunch" and he was so up beat, happy and positive for the future. I hope he finds the "light" I really do.

[@terrancepemberton4648]

Yo what's up with that thumbnail?! That's clearly a filter lol. Obvious clickbait, but anyways I watched that recent video of Corey's and I must agree I think he did look a bit rough and exhausted!! Man being a rock star and having that kinda lifestyle, whether there is substance abuse going on or not, it would definitely take a toll on you mentally and physically. To perform show after show, and rehersals, and travelling, then writing and recording etc etcand just everything else you might do in between....that must be absolutely hectic and fucking exhausting. Everyone needs a break sometimes.

[@wm1573]

No it’s not? Unless he removed it

I don't like to see anyone struggle. I hope he can get his life back on track. Don't judge anyone unless you have walked in their shoes. We don't need to lose him too.

[@ChristopherPiper-iu3ks]

"Picking through the parts exposed Taking shape, taking shag Over and over and under my skin All this momentum is doing me in" Funny how those lyrics are probably even more relevant to Corey years after they were written by him while he was working overnight at a sex toy shop .

[@adamfindlay7091]

Really nobody's business. The families and that's it. Just cause one buys a CD don't mean ya own that bugger.

[@LC-qt8ms]

I met Corey years ago . A friend of mine knew Slipknot. Stone Sour was playing Harpos in Detroit . My friend got me backstage ( small ass little room ) to meet Corey . One of the coolest down to earth people you could hope to meet !

[@janelane1380]

I wish people would stop blaming Corey for things that have nothing to do with him. I don't blame him for wanting to take time after his friends passing. He was clearly grieving and struggling mentally and needed time to ground himself. The fact that people were upset over him not instantly moving on without taking the time to grieve a lifelong friend is awful.

[@VelcroKittie]

Aye it's truly bizarre isn't it? The expectations that come from some fans is borderline psychotic.

[@rewajamir9190]

He need God and also need to forgive people in his life....Guilt and anger is weighing him down .. also he complained alot and stated every part of his life is worse than other but reality is every human has a inner demon to fight on and more or less people around the world struggle the same but we cant whining around or blame some drugs or addiction.... No one has the right to compare who is better or worse than the other but many Third world people literally struggle for a plain meal a day.. we should be grateful of our present situation, feel gratitude, move on, surrender, find peace and not to forget someone out there at the corner of the world whose life is far worst than us.

[@iAmKoKash]

I lost quite a lot of respect for Corey, and Shawn when he allowed Corey to act like the band princess. And they way they treated Joey Jordison when he had his health problems, and the way the let him down and then fired him was absolutely unacceptable. The same regarding Chris. Regarding Joey, I think this firing from band was a drop in the glass, that already was quite full and in the end meant, Joey died of Fentanyl just like Paul, i know it was never confirmed that Joey overdosed on Fentanyl, but rumours say so, and he was depressed. Corey have been acting kinda like the whole bands princess, if you get my point. It was Coreys way or the high way. Even the wat Jay Weinberg and the band parted ways was just meaningless. Jay was not better than joey, but he did good and played great, but this new guy, is way of drumming is not even near Joey or Jay. Its like, yes he play Metal, but not the slipknot way. You may say "You should respect people with hardship in their lives", i know, BUT you have to work with yourself before it gets better, and NEVER blame other (yell, blaim and do stuff to other) ask for help. Being in some hardship does not make it okay to be an a-hole!

[@Grritz]

I am not much of a fan of Cory as a person a lot lately, but I wish him the best. Mental health struggles suck. Hopefully he can get where he needs to be

[@joelcline50]

Humility, gratitude, and honesty. Years to find, but great to live in

[@user-fy2ie1xy4h]

[@samuelsantos3154]

We, the fans of Slipknot love you, Corey! You are our family, you are our friend! You always call us your family and friends, and we can really feel the love that you have inside of your heart for us, when you say those words to us. We do love you, we do need you! Take care of yourself, please. The world needs you, man! We are family and friends.🤘

[@jillsandwich6808]

Where is that video at the very end from?

[@wolfman3295]

I used to be a Slipknot fan back in the day but kind of moved on after Iowa. I watched many interviews with Slipknot and knew they started as a group of toxic guys working out their stuff through their shows and I knew Corey had a very bad history with his family but I did watch a video a few years ago where he said that he had been sober for seven years and loved to be at home with his kids and lay on his couch all day and when he met his then wife and her parents were concerned how he could support them he said he was worth I think $30 million. I hope Corey does finally get his life together. I have watched so many interviews with metal bands and so many of their fans have told them of their abuses so they have to deal with those stresses too along with relentless touring and drugs and alcohol.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

I don't like the current way Slipknotjas been going with things NGL but I don't want Cory to take his own life if he ever did or try. No, I don't or wouldn't want that for him, only some mad insane hater from reddit, twitter, or 4chan would probably want it but I'm just speaking for myself here.

[@Drop_Of--Flame]

I thought and feel exact same. Dude is a top man but lives with demons,i can relate. Chris Cornell i saw in 2009 then Soundgarden 2012 and i still havent not ever will get over him and Chester what a performer and their Pits!! Fk shiit. Them 2 were so close and its like all i had left was slipknot. Whatever Corey decides to do, i wish him all the wellness and happiness. Im seeing just a bit to much judgment and it pissing me off, like any of them walked his shoes!

[@kingsizeblues616]

Oh hellz no, I mean i aint of fan of Corey these days, I used to love him but fkn ell, don't want the dude to unalive himself! That would be horrific, genuinely hope he gets better

[@stevebeye1585]

Trust this: he’s not gonna kill himself. I think this is about the lawsuit concerning Joeys family. He just looks like he’s the ass Joeys family most likely think he is, if he just goes out touring lalalala, while he’s involved heavily, in a lawsuit.

[@stevebeye1585]

Yeah, he’s STRUGGLING with a lawsuit!

[@davecaculba5532]

this taylor drama can't save his solo career, 😂😂😂

[@ProfessorMaple617]

Its great that Corey recognizes that he neede help and needs a break. That's the hardest thing anyone could ever have to do

[@partradio8]

I hope he finds what he needs to feel better, during a rough patch at my job a few years ago his books and music helped me get through a tough time in the mental prison I was in at that job. Get well Corey!!!

[@Chron880]

i find the fact this guy tries to point part of the blame towards joey jordison is fucking disgusting

[@JayDillDrums]

I’m sort of at this point right now in my life. Like not really that bad but I’m always anxious. I’m always nervous. I’m never hungry. Confused, often angry most of the time . And I really can’t even tell you why .. I have a lot of unresolved stuff from when I was running around doing drugs but. Theoretically, I’m doing the best I’ve ever been but, sometimes, if you look at me, think I’m doing drugs, even though I haven’t touched heroin in 14 years. It’s the anxiety and depression. That makes me never wanna eat.

[@Shdowstorm]

People acting as though each of the original members had barcodes on the back of their neck.

The guilt of fucking over people in the band.

What a shit take

[@forthelichkingsname]

just like corey said by the end of this video... "there's always a way out". lmfao

[@pookapookyoyo3095]

that and also the fact that he sent the band into such a garbage direction of music.

[@Chris_Sherwood]

Yep, i thought the same thing.... Clown is still all smiles though.

[@stevebeye1585]

You are correct! He’s struggling with the lawsuit from Joeys family. He looks like the ass, Joeys family most likely think he is, if he goes out touring, during the lawsuit. Watch and see. IMO.

[@bluecomet1109]

I don't care what anyone says IOWA was slipknot at their peak of greatness, everything after that was watered down bird shit

As much as you can ever have and still the darkness hovers around us. I hope Corey can overcome this and continue helping others.

[@charleneinman3625]

I know nothing about this man or his band! Something just said to me..watch this video! I learned a lot by watching it .I do praise this man for stepping back and putting boundaries up for his own safety and well being.I respect the fact that he addresses that he knows if he continues right now he won’t continue later .God Bless you ! May you find what you looking for .This world is a much better place with you in it! I will hold you in my prayers. ..God Speed Ahead.

[@jackalhusband6717]

the next time corey has something spiral down and mess up his health like in the part i hope he remembers his own quote that at the end of the tunnel if a light and a way out because at the end of that tunnel is all his fans who only wish the best for him because we all care about corey and not only does everyone relate to him but we all know how it is having something this deep settle in and hit you. it truly is indescribable. and we all relate to him so i hope he knows that he is NOT alone. he is strong and has made it so far, that’s amazing for someone who went through a lot.

I love slipknot, Corey has always been a douche. He said to give Obama a Chance but was anti Trump from the start. There was also that time he thought that tattoo artist should have made him a top priority because of who he was. Slash Told Axle at one point to just shut up and sing.

[@homerkenobi1914]

Addicts think that when things are good, they're miles away from that cliff. But in truth, you're on the edge of the cliff for the rest of your life. I feel so sad for that wounded child in Corey, that big friggin hole in his heart. It's a lot of pain to carry around.
