Yesterday, March 02nd, saw the debut of Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor‘s ‘A Series Of Bleeps‘ Apple Music Beats 1 radio show. Taylor himself has since spoken to Rollingstone.com on how the show came to be and what to expect from it in the future. Though it showcases his taste for various genres, he also hopes to use it as a platform to spread metal music to a larger audience, offering:
“As much as our genre is celebrated around the world, we don’t get a showcase for it. When we do, it gets shut down completely. So for me, if this is the only shot I get at being able to hold up the music that I love and show people that hard rock, heavy metal or punk is just as good as any of the bullshit that’s out there right now, I’m going to do it. This is me, representing what I love and what I believe in, giving our genre a little spotlight.”
