When Slipknot came to town recently, we chatted with the act's always entertaining and articulate frontman, Corey Taylor. Although the singer was ailing from a sinus infection, he was dependably and incredibly engaging — so much so, that we opted to break up our chat into two parts to make it easier to consume.

In the first half of the interview, Taylor spoke effusively about the band's fans, shared the story from Slipknot's showcase for Sony, which inspired an A&R man to say that he'd rather not carry on if Taylor's outfit represented the future of music. Taylor also took us on a sort of tour through each of the act's first couple of releases.

Here, the conversation picks up with him candidly talking about "Iowa" and the tension that surrounded the making of that record, and then he talks about making the "Gray Chapter" in the wake of bassist Paul Gray's passing, as well as his new book, the chances of Donald Trump getting the GOP nomination, auditioning for Velvet Revolver and how "Appetite for Destruction" is one of his favorite rock albums of all time.

SLIPKNOT's SID WILSON: Fans Won't Be Disappointed With New Album

SLIPKNOT turntablist Sid Wilson spoke to the Herald-Whig about the progress of the recording sessions for the band's upcoming follow-up to 2019's "We Are Not Your Kind" album. He said: "Yeah, as far as I know, all the members are finished recording parts, and it should be in the final stages. Actually, it's been kind of tough, with the COVID restrictions and everything, trying to get the studio sessions done. So it's taken a little bit longer than I think we would like, but, yeah, we managed to get it nailed down."

Regarding what fans can expect from the new SLIPKNOT material, Wilson said: "I don't think everyone will ever be disappointed with what we do because we're going to stay true to ourselves and do the music that we feel is necessary to get it all out. You know what I mean? It's kind of a therapy session as well. I think when they listen to it, it comes through that way and not approaching it from the perspective of a rock star and what we think that the world would think of us for doing

Interview: Slipknot’s Clown Explains Why the New Album Is So Artsy

It’s hard for any nine people to get along for an extended period of time, so the fact that the members of Slipknot have remained together for nearly 25 years through various tragedies and tribulations is nothing short of a miracle. It’s not like the musicians learned some secret about how to cohabitate with other volatile, egocentric musicians early in their career.

There were numerous occasions when they barely made it from one city to the next, let alone continued from album to album. There were internal rivalries, spiteful antics and countless destructive tantrums. Everything was a fight and pretty much every battle turned into some sort of victory. Maybe it’s because Slipknot rose from the cornfields of Iowa to stages of arenas around the world, but everyone in the band was too ambitious and stubborn not to fight to retain their role in the group and to make their voices heard, whether they played DJ, guitar or sang.

Pressured by rapid success and the desire to remain popular, some
