Corey Taylor from Slipknot comments on collaboration with Finnish bands

Corey Taylor, the singer of Slipknot and Stonesour commented his collaboration with Finnish metal bands Apocalyptica and Children of Bodom for Bogfires earlier this week in LA. Slipknot toured with Children of Bodom in Europe in fall of 2008. Taylor said that coming up with the best mix of bands musically is the most important criteria for choosing the bands to tour with and reminded that the selection is also based on who is available at the time. Corey Taylor was featured on Apocalyptica's latest album Worlds Collide, doing vocals for "I'm Not Jesus". Taylor told Bogfires he was very happy with how the song turned out. Bogfires met with Corey Taylor on Monday April 6th at the Key Club on Sunset Strip, LA where he joined Steel Panthers on stage to perform a Poison -cover song.
