Who are Slipknot’s fans?
We head down to Slipknot’s Here Comes The Pain tour in Manchester to meet the Maggots that had their lives changed forever by nine masked men from the cornfields…
The Slipknot and Stone Sour man is launching our new Kerrang! In Conversation series as part of the Week Of Rock!
First we announced a super-special Enter Shikari show. Then we confirmed that Neck Deep would be taking on The K! Pit for a night to remember. And now we're incredibly happy to reveal that the third in our Kerrang! Awards Week Of Rock events involves a man by the name of Corey Taylor. You might have heard of him…?
Yes, that's right, Slipknot and Stone Sour's legendary leader will be launching our new Kerrang! In Conversation series on June 20, ahead of him picking up the Kerrang! Legend Award on June 21. The event will involve the metal icon being interviewed at Kerrang! HQ in front of 50 fans – with attendees getting the chance to pose their questions to Corey, too! The interview will also be streamed via Kerrang!’s Facebook page.
If you fancy giving Corey a grilling, email Feedback@kerrang.com with the subject line 'In Conversation with Corey Taylor' and let us know what you think the meaning of Stone Sour's Hydrograd is (Corey misread a similar word while running through an airport, and that's how the title came to be – but we want to know specifically how it applies to you!).
The only rules to attend this one-of-a-kind experience are that you need to be free on the evening of June 20, you must be over 18, and you need to be able to get to Angel, North London.
Good luck!
Corey is currently on tour with Stone Sour in support of Hydrograd, with their UK shows kicking off on June 17.
