Corey Taylor delivers a blistering version of Alice in Chains' 'Them Bones' with the all-star covers band Royal Machines.

Slipknot / Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor points out some of the problems with the Grammy voting for the metal category.

Corey Taylor discusses his dark teenage years, his battle with depression and his attempted suicide.

Former Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root has ripped his ex band for their poppy musical direction and motivations.

The frontman discusses the creation of his distinctive new two-piece Slipknot mask.

After busting out Metallica’s ‘Creeping Death’ and Kiss’ ‘Love Gun’ on their last tour, Stone Sour have begun recording a covers album.

As we've seen from many bands through history, cover albums are a tribute to past influences and inspirations. Bands such as Godsmack and Metallica have gone down the road of the cover album, and now Stone Sour is aiming to do the same.

In a new interview, the guitarist gathered some hindsight and said he "wasn't really happy" in Stone Sour anymore and the decision was "for the better."

I have seen some of these videos where the music is taken away and all that is left is the vocals come across my news feed but I never took the time to watch any of them. I finally took some time to check out the vocal tracks of Corey Taylor and it gives me a whole new appreciation for one of the greatest frontmen of our time.

Update (5:45PM ET): This story has been amended with a statement from Stone Sour confirming that Jim Root is in fact no longer in the band. Earlier this year, guitarist Jim Root sat out Stone Sour's tour with the reason given that he was concentrating his efforts on writing music for Slipknot's next album. However, now the band has announced that it has parted ways with Root.
