Interview with DJ (#0) Sid Wilson in Toronto!

Interview with DJ (#0) Sid Wilson in Toronto!

On May 1st , in Toronto, Canada, metal monsters Slipknot dug in and played a ridiculously amazing set incorporating a seizure-inducing light show and a crisp sound unlike that heard in larger arenas. Obviously this band needs no introduction and as such we'll simply say this...

While Trivium tore up the stage and hyped the crowd for the aforementioned music juggernauts, we managed to grad Slipknot DJ and member #0 (aka Sid Wilson) in a relatively sound-proofed room for a quick interview. In full gear and with his remote controlled mask buzzing and whirring, PureGrainAudio asked questions pertaining to touring, their new wardrobe and more about the force that is the 'Knot.

Scott Ian: “Corey Taylor was in Anthrax!”

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!

They head to the city of angels, Los Angeles, to speak to metal’s biggest band, literally, Slipknot, and hang with Corey Taylor and the guys to get the inside line on the future of our favorite eight-piece.

They also speak to New England metalcore pioneers Killswitch Engage as they line up to release their brand new album, the self-titled opus, “Killswitch Engage”. Dream Theater’s Mike Portnoy also celebrates the release of his latest prog-metal masterpiece, as he tells Hammer. DevilDriver have released one of the albums of the year already and Dez Fafara spills the beans on staying awesome.

Also in the mag: They give Swedish death glam quintet Deathstars a good roasting in the Spanish Inquisition, we tell the story of Trivium’s Matt Heafy and his life so far and Hammer headed – en masse – to North Wales for the first Hammerfest to see and hang out with Opeth, Sepultura, Saxon and loads more.

There are also reviews of new albums from Marilyn Manson, Alestorm, Devin Townsend, Dream Theater and many, many more…so get it now!!!
