Corey Taylor Surprised At Slipknot's Success


. (TeamRock Radio) Corey Taylor says he's as surprised as anyone that Slipknot have had such a long and successful career. The singer says he always felt the band could have gone one of two ways, but admits he never took success for granted and reveals he's proud they're still doing things their way 20 years after forming.

"I'm very proud of the fact that, this being our 20th anniversary, we are still doing things our way," Taylor tells the Irish Times. "It is one of the reasons we do the things we do. We've never jumped on trends, we've never chased notoriety. We've never chased a certain type of success. We've always looked at it as the long run and the long haul. That's how you make your mark. That's how you do things that are great and not just fashionable.

"I'm just as surprised as anyone else. This band could have gone one way or the other, but we were embraced in such a way that it gave us the confidence to try new things and really keep shaping this music to our satisfaction rather than the latest trend.

"That's why we are still there and still at the top of our game. We may be the last remnant of that type of band." Read more here.
