Slipknot Were Sparked By Anger
. (TeamRock Radio) Slipknot's Corey Taylor recalls the "guttural anger" that fuelled the band in their early days. And the singer insists their outrageous personas and often shocking stage shows were the result of genuine rage, rather than a desire to be deliberately provocative. The furor that surrounded the band in the early part of their career saw them banned from American TV and radio for a spell. Taylor tells Chronicle Live: "We weren't just singing about Satan or trying to be shocking for the sake of it. "We really were that angry, we were shocking because we were coming out of the gate so steeped in guttural anger. And we found all the kids who felt the same and they related to us. "If we were just a band with an image, we'd not be as hot today. We hit on so many different cylinders. It's the real thing. We have the look, we have the artwork, we have the songs, and the songs are what keep you there. We've been able to continue to write really, really well." Read more here.
