Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor recently discussed Slipknot‘s current plans in regards to new material with Billboard.com. Of that he said:
“The only thing we’ve talked about is the beginning of next year, getting together and seeing where each other are at, musically. I know I’ve got some music that I’ve been working on. Joey‘s (Jordison) got a bunch of stuff. Jim‘s (Root) got some stuff. Clown‘s always got a lot of really interesting musical ideas. So it’ll be really cool to see what happens.
We really don’t have a timetable; we’ve basically told everybody, ‘Screw you, don’t give us a deadline’ because this album especially is too important. It’s going to be a daunting task going into the studio without (the late bassist) Paul Gray, so I don’t need a bunch of suits rushing me through something that is going to be pretty emotional.
Right now the plan is to just go into the studio and see what happens.”
Meanwhile, he also confirmed that Stone Sour are planning to take nearly the rest of the year off; though he does hope to one day kick off a unique tour in support of both installments of the ‘House Of Gold & Bones‘ albums. Taylor also discussed his next potential book project and more with the site, with the full article available at the above-mentioned link.
