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.

More quotes by 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
Some of the smartest people I know are metal fans.
Corey Taylor
It's amazing and sad what we have to do to survive sometimes.
Corey Taylor
I've still got the same friends that I grew up with, I still go to the same places that I used to go to when I was younger, and it's just a very special place to me. I'm still very proud to call Iowa home.
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
As iconic a band as Metallica has become, I think sometimes we forget just how raw they were in the beginning of their career, and to a 15-year-old kid like me, it was just shattering. I mean, it was beyond.
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
She has BIG feet! Oh my god, have you seen Sandra Bullocks feet? They're like the size of rulers!
Corey Taylor
I don't mean to be overly sensitive or anything like that, but you just have to take a minute in every day, and just reflect on where you are, and just realise what you've got, because you just never know where the next huge change in your life is going to come from.
Corey Taylor
Slipknot is the darkness Stone Sour is the light. Slipknot is chaos Stone Sour is structure.
Corey Taylor
You can have the best intentions in the world but if you do nothing, you are nothing.
Corey Taylor
Take one more deep breath, savor it, and plunge forward without thinking. Do not allow yourself hesitation. Do not allow yourself a moment of doubt. Follow your instincts and go where you never would have considered possible.
Corey Taylor
Show me on the doll where Fun is a rock band.
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
The biggest difference between me and other artists out there is that they'll put anything out to sell a record or sell a ticket.
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
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
I don't know whether we will find ourselves in the cross hairs, pulled by the short hairs, or just trying to find the next inane hairstyle. But change is coming it is inevitable. It is as steady and reliable as a ticking clock.
Corey Taylor
We are defined by our dignity to rise above debasement. We are certainly better people for doing so.
Corey Taylor
I want karma to drive stakes into the dark hearts that keep me bitter.
