In a new interview, Taylor explains that he and his cohort in both bands � guitarist Jim Root � have begun making the transition to Slipknot and are making significant progress. He says, "Me and Jim have been writing a lot of stuff, and it's really starting to kind of shape up really � I mean, we've got a nice chunk, and now we just kind of need to, you know, shape everything to that Slipknot point of view, that Slipknot way, that Slipknot sound."
