Brand New interview with Corey Taylor
In a brand new interview with Australia's The Age, Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has described the band's shows as "out-and-out war."
He said, "It really taxes the body and spirit after a while. This isn't just four dudes rolling in their street clothes. This is a production, a battle and a celebration. There are so many moods that go into this, sometimes you can get lost in the shuffle. We really rely on each other. If one of us is having a bad day, we know. We say: 'Guys I need you tonight'. And they got ya."
On the positive message of the band's music:
"I've always tried to blend the darkness with a big dose of positivity. With our (dark) imagery, it obviously get lost a bit. But for me it's always been about giving people a reason to live rather than a reason to give up."

On the band's stage show:
"There's obviously a genre of theatrical rock, but for us it's just a piece of the puzzle. It's always been about the content and why we wear what we do. There's a lot more art than there is shock. Kiss and Alice Cooper really broke down a lot of barriers, but we're different to them. I've always felt that we were like if Pink Floyd started a metal band. I doubt you're gonna see Slipknot shoot cereal anytime soon — Kiss really have become the Disney of rock."
On the other hand...I've got a bad news for people who were suppose to attempt the Israel Slipknot show...

According to Metalist magazine, Slipknot's previously announced November 2, 2008 concert at at Hangar No. 1 at the Fair, Trade and Convention Center in Tel-Aviv, Israel has been cancelled by the band "as a result of sudden personal and family conflicts."
