Hello Steemians and fellow music lovers!

Today I thought I'd share one of my favorite musicians with you - Corey Taylor.

Corey Taylor is the founding member of rock band Stone Sour, and is more well know as being the lead singer of heavy metal band Slipknot. Corey Taylor is a multi instrumentalist, playing the guitar, drums, bass and piano. Although more known for his metal singing with Slipknot, he has a very wide range of vocal ability which he explores more with Stone Sour.

Corey Taylor has released 5 albums with Slipknot and 6 albums with Stone Sour. Slipknot's last album ‘.5 The Gray Chapter’ was released in 2014 and is a reference to bass player Paul Gray who died of an overdose in 2010.

Stone Sour

Probably the most known song from Stone Sour is the slower ballad style song ‘through the glass’ - it really highlights Cory range and vocal ability.

I LOVE the acoustic version of Song 3 from the latest Stone Sour album Hydrograd:

Slipknot

Now for the heavier stuff from Slipknot! Slipknot burst onto the metal scene in 1999 with their single ‘Wait and bleed’. They offered something new with their live shows - each member wears a jumpsuit and a different mask

Although probably not their most successful album, my favorite is ‘Volume 3 - The Subliminal Verses’. This album has such intensity! Here's my favorite tune ‘The Blister Exists’

Before I go you may (or may not) be aware that Corey Taylor collaborates a lot with different artists, often making live appearances. Here's a song with Dave Grohl ‘from can to can't’ from the sound city soundtrack. This sound brings shivers down my spine - so good!
