Scott Ian: “Corey Taylor was in Anthrax!”
Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian reveals to Metal Hammer that Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor was 100% part of Anthrax!
Scott Ian, holding a copy of the new issue of Metal Hammer, has spoken to the Metal Hammer podcast about how Corey Taylor was genuinely going to be a part of Anthrax on his downtime from Slipknot/Stone Sour, prior to new ‘thrax vocalist Dan Nelson joining the band.
“Corey Taylor was in Anthrax!” Ian told us. “We just said “bummer, we don’t have John Bush” but it was pretty cool that we were going to have Corey Taylor on the record and for three months, it was actually happening. It was for real, it was not a joke.”
Check out the new issue of Metal Hammer…it’s kind of a Roadrunner Records issue!
