Corey Taylor reveals his most over and under-rated Slipknot songs
nme.comCorey Taylor has revealed which Slipknot songs he personally thinks are the most over-rated and most under-rated in a new interview.The discussion took place in a new interview with Revolver, in which the Stone Sour and Slipknot frontman revealed his personal opinion on the latter’s extensive discography.Since joining the line-up in 1997, and the band now having seven studio albums under their belt, Taylor admitted, perhaps unsurprisingly, that there are some tracks that he doesn’t necessarily enjoy performing.In the interview, he recalled that the song from their discography that he finds most overrated is the hit track ‘Wait And Bleed’ – one of the many fan-favourites captured within their 1999 self-titled album.“I’m very much on the record saying that ‘Wait and Bleed’ is a pain in my fucking ass,” he began. “I’ve been singing it for 26 years and it hasn’t gotten easier, folks!“But I still sing it with Slipknot and with my solo project, which tells you how much of a psycho I am, because I know people love that song,” he added. “So, you gotta do it — and listen, it’s a good problem to have.”On the other hand, he also admitted that he finds a song from their 2004 album ‘Vol.
3: (The Subliminal Verses)’, to be the most under-appreciated track in their discography.“To me, the most underrated Slipknot song is ‘Danger — Keep Away’,” he admitted. “I love both versions, the one that’s on the album and the uncut version that eventually came out.
There’s some beautiful parts to that song,” he confirmed.As reported by Loudwire, ‘Wait And Bleed’ ranks as Slipknot’s fourth most-played song ever, and has appeared on 964 of their setlists since its release 24 years ago.
