In other Corey Taylor news, the singer recently sat down with Rock Feed and discussed how long he thinks SLIPKNOT can go on, given the intense physical demands of the band’s live shows. The SLIPKNOT singer, who will turn 50 in December, said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “I’ve already said that physically I maybe have five years left, but at the same time I go out of my way to really try to take care of myself.
“Now I have a lot of fucking miles on me. It’s hard for me. People don’t realize this, but when I walk, I’m almost in constant pain. It’s the knees, it’s my feet. I have a broken toe on this foot. I have gout across my feet. It gets up into my joints and shit. Yeah, it’s tough. I’m not as nimble as I used to be. I’m not 35 anymore. It’s hard. But there are ways to do shows that don’t require being that crazy now.”
Corey Taylor continued: “The travel doesn’t lend itself to being healthy, because, at that point, it’s not like being home. You’ve got all your stuff. You’re kind of at the mercy of what’s there for you. So you’re gonna eat like shit, you’re gonna sleep like shit, you’re gonna feel like shit, and nine times out of 10, you’re gonna play like shit. We don’t want that. So it’s tough. Even a guy at my level, it’s not always laid-out catering and the best food and the best people.
“Sometimes it’s a soggy sandwich at 12:30 in the morning, and you’re looking at it, going, ‘If I put this in my body, I’m gonna throw up.’ People don’t fucking get that. You know why they think that? It’s because that’s all they see on Instagram, on TikTok, on this and that, and you’re seeing the commercials. There have been times we’ve gotten off stage, we’ve gone right to the airport, flown out.
“We don’t sleep until seven the next day. And now we’re just all [exhausted]. Our crew gets it even worse, ’cause they have to fucking go in, make sure everything’s good, and then they can go fucking take a nap. So it’s not gravy all the time, man. It’s tough. It’s hard fucking work. Even at our level, it’s hard work.”
Corey Taylor and SLIPKNOT are relentlessly touring in promotion of their most recent album, “The End, So Far,” which hit the music scene in September 2022 through Roadrunner Records. Serving as a follow-up to “We Are Not Your Kind,” this album marks the band’s parting release under the Roadrunner label, a partnership that began in 1998.
