Corey Taylor

Slipknot are absolute legends.

Corey Taylor's a legend.

You know?

Ultra.

But [laughs] just like it was only a matter of time before Corey Taylor's solo project started to seep into Slipknot, and this to me was like the culmination of that, of like, "Oh, it's finally happening." Because the solo-

Oh

... stuff has been really corny, and then this one just had so many moments that were like, "Oh."

Yeah, I mean, it was a lot of fun, you know.

And, you know, I'm a big Corey Taylor mark.

So, you know, actually, you know, being there and seeing him do his thing live was really cool.

That's fantastic.

If you guys aren't familiar with this foundation, the Taylor Foundation was founded by the front man of Slipknot Corporation.

Corey Taylor, and he named it after his grandfather.

You're going to hear the amazing story from Mary about how they've teamed up, where they're at now, and why they care so much about connecting veterans and first responders and their families to the support structure that already exists.

We talk about mental health.

And I'll say that I've worked in a lot and I've seen a lot of things and a lot of them look really good on screen and they look really good on paper, you know, but what you don't see is they're late and they're rude.

And as soon as their time's done, they're out of there.

And I can say with all of my being and all of my experience working with people that that Corey Taylor is the most genuine, generous, sincere, authentic, caring, responsive.

He's an amazing man, and we're so lucky to have him behind this.

But no, like, the musician side of it, you know, I've read how there have been a lot of musicians, like, they'll purposely rent haunted locations, you know, or, like, for their band to stay in, like, while they're recording an album.

Like, I remember, who was it, Corey Taylor, uh, Slipknot, you know those guys?

Oh, yeah.

Um, like, then he wrote a whole book about it, about how they rented this haunted mansion.

Yeah, I mean, it was a lot of fun, you know.

And, you know, I'm a big Corey Taylor mark.

So, you know, actually, you know, being there and seeing him do his thing live was really cool.

That's

... more down the metalcore core- core- core road.

The sound reminds me of Corey, uh, Corey Taylor when I hear the vocals-

Yeah.

That's fair

And no one ever brings it up really.

But Corey Taylor.

The head singer of Slipknot.

The night that we.

Well Prince passed away in the morning.

Corey Taylor.

Was playing First Avenue.

That night.
