Born on December 8, 1973, Corey Taylor is the lead vocalist for both Slipknot, a nu-metal/heavy metal band (formed in 1995), and Stone Sour, a Hard rock/alternative metal group (formed in 1992).

Taylor did not join Slipknot until 1997, when the "old" Slipknot (which recorded one demo MFKR and one unreleased album CrowZ) parted ways with original vocals Anders Colsefni. <a href="https://www.last.fm/m
