To me, it makes more sense to write different songs and to play different kinds of music and to find your own voice. But no matter what, get out and play for people. Get out and learn, and do everything that you can, you know?

More quotes by Corey Taylor
But I always kind of knew in the back of my head that I could come back and do Stone Sour.
Corey Taylor
The weird thing about metal fans is we're all so maladjusted in a lot of ways. We're individualistic and opinionated and severe in our personalities - sometimes we really turn each other off. A little bit of a metal fan goes a long way.
Corey Taylor
RADIO IS DEAD. The once-bright star that was public broadcasting has been destroyed by greed and corproate muscle to the point that even the music that is completely repugnant is positioned to be popular.
Corey Taylor
If everything is happy go-lucky all the time, you don't know when you're experiencing joy and feeling life at its finest moments. You have to suffer a little.
Corey Taylor
It was always a thrill for me, getting out of the cocoon and wandering. I'd let the wind wrap around me like fire and slip into the unknown with a moment's hesitation.
Corey Taylor
She has BIG feet! Oh my god, have you seen Sandra Bullocks feet? They're like the size of rulers!
Corey Taylor
The best friends you will ever have are the ones who don't make you feel like you owe them a damn thing.
Corey Taylor
Live your life, no matter what that life is.
Corey Taylor
As much as I love Slipknot, I don't want that to carry over into what I do for Stone Sour. I want both bands to stand on their own.
Corey Taylor
Slipknot is the darkness Stone Sour is the light. Slipknot is chaos Stone Sour is structure.
Corey Taylor
I'm a Gibson guy. I play anything from Hummingbirds to J200s.
Corey Taylor
I love the fact that people can relate to what I'm saying, even if it's not for the same subject I was writing about. That is the power of real music and real expression.
Corey Taylor
It's amazing and sad what we have to do to survive sometimes.
Corey Taylor
I'm the guy that gets up at three in the morning to jot down an entire sheet of lyrics for something that won't be recorded for six months. You have to get it down when you can, because thoughts are fluid.
Corey Taylor
You have to live in these moments, not for them. If you look too hard, they blow right by you. If you do not live enough, you will regret every breath.
Corey Taylor
My biggest influences were 1980s punk and metal. Metallica were my biggest influence because they were good at everything - riffs, energy - but with such an ear for melody, it was hard not to get pulled into it and become a fanatic.
Corey Taylor
If you are too overwhelmed, then when you sit down and try to write something, it feels forced. There's nothing worse than forced music. I mean, this world has enough of that right now, where it's basically McDonald's making music. 'Everybody needs another hamburger and fries.' Here's a piece of crap that nobody's gonna care about it two years.
Corey Taylor
I still harbor lingering doubts about most people. I guess I always will.
Corey Taylor
I didn't have the worst childhood, but I didn't have the best, and when you grow up like that, you have certain limitations invariably stuck inside you. Slipknot was a way to work it out.
Corey Taylor
Emo is pathetic. It's a tired attempt at making bad music cool, all while rocking dumb haircuts and unisexual belts. Furthermore, adding the suffix '-core' to a description doesn't make it innovative. It makes you look like a tool with no imagination.
