Stonesour/Corey Taylor

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' roll

I'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 glass

zzyzx Road

Inhale (listen to the words, so fuckin emotinal)

Take a number

Monolith

Cardiff

Get Inside

Cold Reader

Idle Hands

Rules of evidence

Vermillion 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?

30/30-150!!

I usually hate nu-metal, but that song kicks ass.

I don't like the other songs I've heard from them though..

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 bother

I 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 songs

Cardiff

This fluid feels like pain

This stoic mood is all in vain

I reach into the dark

I tear the sun and me apart

How many years ago

How many deaths I can't let go

My flesh is temporary, my God extraordinary

You.. can't.. kill.. MY... MIND

A man delivered can never make his way in darkness I know tonight will end but I won't give this life

Away again

Sifting through the seen debris

Oh my father call to me

This smoke is in my blood

This home is just no good

Save me from my bitterness

Give me up I did my best

Chalk this system full of shit

Lock this fucker lost in it

You.. can't.. kill.. MY MIND

A man delivered can never make his way in darkness I know tonight will end but I won't give this life

Away I won't give this life away

A man surrendered can never find his own forgiveness I know my life will end but I won't give tonight

Away.. I won't give tonight away!

Oh yeahh!

Inhale

Come one and all and see the broken man, talking to himself

He sits and waits for something better, he'll never find it here

The people touch his hair and pinch his cheek; he can't even feel it

There it goes again, he's listening to someone

He hears the bitter laughter

And 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 louder

It doesn't feel good anymore

All 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 .

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

Vermillion 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 rock3 rock3

You're so fuckin lucky.. i'm waitin on the new slipknot album before I go see him.. plus i'm in the states and i think that tour is over.. and thats really cool that he only writes ballads, and the stonesour songs are all him.. thats really cool, because they're really deep lyrics emotinally, and again, that just emotion he seems to be able to convey in singing these songs is amazing
