oogieboogieman420 Posted May 1, 2007 Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) I know i'm always harping on how great slipknot is, but has anybody heard Corey Taylor's other band, stonesour? I think he's got a really great voice, and expresses alot of emotion thru his voice.. not to mention what he does in slipknot, to be able to go from that.. to stonesour, I think says alot about his abilities, and I'm not sure if he writes all the lyrics in stonesour.. but the lyrics to some of their songs, like Bother, Through the glass, and zzyzx Road are very great ballads and very emotinal songs, that anybody can relate to.. not to mention the only ballad slipknot has, vermillion part 2.. and thats such a great song.. if you havent heard this song, I beg you look past the mask's and everything slipknot has done, and listen to this song.. vermillion part2.. every music fan shoudl hear it...the harder song of stonesour, like cold reader and get inside, show that he can be "hard rock", and not just metal, as they have a faster upbeat tempo to 'em, while still show casing his abilities as a vocalist to translate the emotions to the words.. The guitar work is awesome, I'm not gonna sit here and say it's the best by any means, but I think it is very good and show cases James abilities outside of slipknot to be a really good guitar player because stonesour gives him the chance to stretch his arms a bit and play a more structured type of rock n' rollI'm not gonna post a six page essay of why I think stonesour is a great band and why Corey is a great vocalist.. but before I go, I wanna put together a list of songs for any of you who may be able to look past his work in slipknot and give him a listen to in stonesour, if you havent already..Bother (i'm sure you've all heard)Through the glasszzyzx RoadInhale (listen to the words, so fuckin emotinal)Take a numberMonolithCardiffGet InsideCold ReaderIdle HandsRules of evidenceVermillion Part2 (it's slipknot but trust me, it doesnt even sound like them)Please, listen to 'em... I think if you havent heard them, you'll be real surprised, and unless you cant get passed what he's done in slipknot, you'll agree with me that they're agreat band.. Corey is very talented.EDIT: If you've heard them before i'd like to know what you all think of them as a band, and him as a vocalist?

oogieboogieman420 Posted May 1, 2007 Author Share Posted May 1, 2007 (edited) Meh, Corey pisses me off. Saw him open for GnR last summer with Stone Sour. Clearly the audience hated him and he seemed to hate them back. I do think with Stone Sour he has shown that he has more to him than Slipknot. Cliche as it may sound, I really like Through Glass.I havent gotten a chance to see 'em live, but i'm sure there'll be a DVD, I don;t get out much anymore... i'll check that out.. but yeah... through the glass is a good one, if u like that one you should definatley check out zzyzx road and botherI don't know what kinda performer he is in stonesour, but i havent seen that attitude from him in his other band, he demands and yells at the crowd, but it's all in good humor and fun... i dunno... I heard that he doesnt do alot on stage, but that was from a friend and Corey had just missed a few shows before that one due to an illness.. so i dunno... it goes either way... if i was on stage and the crowd hated me, i'd hate 'em back i'm sure...EDIT: I wanna post some lyrics from a couple fo their songsCardiffThis fluid feels like painThis stoic mood is all in vainI reach into the darkI tear the sun and me apartHow many years agoHow many deaths I can't let goMy flesh is temporary, my God extraordinaryYou.. can't.. kill.. MY... MINDA man delivered can never make his way in darkness I know tonight will end but I won't give this lifeAway againSifting through the seen debrisOh my father call to meThis smoke is in my bloodThis home is just no goodSave me from my bitternessGive me up I did my bestChalk this system full of shitLock this fucker lost in itYou.. can't.. kill.. MY MINDA man delivered can never make his way in darkness I know tonight will end but I won't give this lifeAway I won't give this life awayA man surrendered can never find his own forgiveness I know my life will end but I won't give tonightAway.. I won't give tonight away!Oh yeahh!InhaleCome one and all and see the broken man, talking to himselfHe sits and waits for something better, he'll never find it hereThe people touch his hair and pinch his cheek; he can't even feel itThere it goes again, he's listening to someoneHe hears the bitter laughterAnd all he wants to know is...Why........does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore)You've gotta try...........the inhale that makes the exhale so much better He wipes his hands on anything in reach, he never feels clean He shakes at night because his nerve is gone, every muscle hurts Come one and all and see what happened...that broken man is me There it goes again, I can hear it louderIt doesn't feel good anymoreAll I want to know is...Why..........does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore)You've gotta try............the inhale that makes the exhale so much better*NOW I KNOW I DISAPPEAR!I CAN'T FIND MY WAY FROM OUT OF HERE!EVERYTHING IS FADING ON ME!SOMEONE TELL ME*... someone tell me...Someone tell me Why............does any of it matter? (I can't take it anymore)You've gotta try...........the inhale that makes the exhale so much better .

metallica1 Posted May 2, 2007 Share Posted May 2, 2007 I'm not sure if he writes all the lyrics in stonesour.. but the lyrics to some of their songs, like Bother, Through the glass, and zzyzx Road are very great ballads and very emotinal songs, that anybody can relate to.. not to mention the only ballad slipknot has, vermillion part 2Vermillion Part2 (it's slipknot but trust me, it doesnt even sound like them)Please, listen to 'em... I think if you havent heard them, you'll be real surprised, and unless you cant get passed what he's done in slipknot, you'll agree with me that they're agreat band.. Corey is very talented.Those songs are brilliant because Corey wrote them all himself, he actually specialises in ballads rather than heavy rock songs, and I've read an interview somewhere, where he has said he couldn't write any other style if his life depended on it...Also, I'm seeing Stone Sour in 2 weeks in Sydney!!! rock3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
