Corey Taylor - I came so close to leaving Slipknot 

Can confirm, I'm glad to see the 20 year olds discovering Slipknot the way I did back in the day.

Corey looks like he hasn’t aged at all the last 12 years.

That guy looks like a slim version of clown

Neck: 50 years old Body: 20 years old Legs: 10 years old

It always blows my mind when people say what a douche Corey is. He’s easily one of the most interesting, humble dudes in the business.

Slipknot: For everyone TikTok: for weird people, per Corey.

Every guy: sitting with your legs crossed hurts your balls Corey Taylor: hold my balls

Man, for how intense and brutal Corey can be, he sure is very humble and he has a pretty soft heart. Ya gotta love him!!

2 things i'd like Corey to appear on: Joe Rogan Experience & Hot Ones

That look on his face when he got the award is so amazing!!

“We’re not setting each other on fire...that much” lol I love Corey

I have NEVER seen cory Taylor actually lost for words and completely stumped during an interview ever through the history of slipknot. All I can say is well done kerrang, you actually managed to quite the loudest voice in metal and drive him close to tears.

17:13 thats the iowa inner demon trying to escape you dont fool us anymore Corey!

"TikTok is for weird people. It's like Vine for people who are not as sofisticated as Vine allowed." - Corey Taylor 2020 Our memelord has spoken. Corey, you are a king

Corey's reaction to the hall award is pretty insane!. Slipknot for Life!. What an incredible band, been following since the start!.

Coreys tears of joy over a radio hall of fame induction made me love him even more. He deserves all the success he’s gotten

Get that man a table to put his coffee down

17:13 only Corey Taylor can make a burp sound like a metal scream 😂😂😂😂

I feel kinda sad and triggered that corey doesn't have a place to put his cup so he has to move it around

46 years old? He looks and sounds younger than me, and I'm 29!

Wasn't planning on commenting on this video but after seeing Corey's reaction at the end, I have to say that Slipknot is way more important than people think and Corey does an incredible job steering the ship with Clown. Rock on, Corey!

Been a fan since 99 and will be a fan till the day I die. Will hopefully be taking my kids to their first Slipknot show (which will be their first concert) this summer! Slipknot forever!

Love how humble and down to earth Corey is. And I think it's the first time in Corey's whole life that he's speachless, at - 25:03 Just love the fact that he's not afraid to show his emotions. It's really hard not to love him❤️

Corey’s reaction to the award made me tears eyed. He’s such a genuine and humble guy.

That was very touching. I genuinely thought he was kidding around about being overwhelmed when they gave him that award at the end. So cool that it meant that much to him. Bless him, what a lovely man.

The part when Corey started tearing up got me in the feelings.

This is why I love Corey Taylor he humbles himself and not afraid to show his emotions. Thats what makes him an amazing person and thats why he is very well respected as a musician. I love the fact how he gave Clown the credit that he deserves for having the vision of Slipknot. He doesn't take credit for anything he gives people credit for his success. He thanks fans he thanks bandmates.

okay wow.. that surprisingly hurt to hear Corey talking about 'my pain', i didn't realise how aware he was of some of the things people have been saying, i remember hearing it for the first time as soon as the album was released, i cried my fucking eyes out and it instantly became one of my favourites from the album, it's such an incredible song, and at least for me it was so easy to connect with and understand, and i mean every single word, every single feeling.. like so many of slipknot/stone sours songs, it just feels so personal and it represented EXACTLY how i was feeling throughout a lot of 2018, the entirety of 2019 and still to this day to some degree, the song, and the entire album will always have a very special place in my heart :) and i'm so glad i was able to be here to experience it. anyway, i've not even finished watching this interview yet but it's already been fucking incredible and been a great way to start the day, thank you Loz. and thank you Corey, i fucking love you, long live the knot, we are not your kind \m/

I could listen to Corey talk all day. He's such an interesting, down to Earth person.

I love how humble Corey is despite being in one of the most famous metal bands in the world and how he teared up at winning (yet another) Kerrang reward.

Seeing a humble human being being so touched by an award after a 20 yrs career is so awesome congrats to Slipknot you guys deserve it I'm definitely a fan dating back to '99 and now I'm proud to say my 7yr old daughter is a fan.🤘

Corey looking like 2013 corey haha. I still miss his long hair tho.. He was getting close to the vol. 3 hair. But he looks happy and that's good.

Corey needs to get on the Joe Rogan Experience. BADLY.

I thought the title said he is close to leaving the band, almost had a heart attack

I really appreciate the respect he has for Corey and the band, I haven’t seen many of his interviews but he seems to respect Slipknot and I like seeing people who may not fully understand something but respect what it stands for and what it means to people.

God I fucking love Corey, his reaction to getting that award just warms my heart

Corey's reaction to receiving that award was absolutely priceless. It truly shows how grateful he is for the life he's lived, and the things he and the rest of the band have achieved. Very cool.

I remember being 18 years old in 1999, Portugal, and buying the album of this crazy new band called Slipknot that I loved so much since the first time I've listened. And man, I was so mad that I couldn't find the first edition of the album containing "Purity" and "Frail Limb Nursery" because i did have the chance to buy that first edition earlier, why the hell did I wait for near Xmas time? XD Been a fan all those years!

Corey’s been holding that cup of coffee for 20 long minutes that made me think why anyone didnt notice him looking at it for quite a long time where he would put it.

If Corey got glassed in the neck in a bar fight or something, he'd probably be ok

Corey, if you're seeing this, I'm one of those a long time fans you're talking about lol I'm from the UK, I've been listening to Slipknot, collecting all your merch, t-shirts, CD's/DVD's etc for as long as I can remember! Now I'm living in Japan and I can't wait to see you guy's at Knotfest here in Japan next month. All the recognition you're getting is well deserved, and Yes please, make those NECA figures happen, I'm an big action figure collector myself and I need Slipknot figures in my life.

Corey will forever be my hero. He is one of the biggest metal vocalists in the world and is still so down to earth. 🤘🏻

"I do, yes. I have someone who manages my madness" *my mind immediately triggered into LIBERATE MY MADNESS on que*

I remember getting IOWA from HMV when I was about 10 years old in 2002.. what a long way Slipknot has come

I’m 27 and really just getting into slipknot now. Fucking love them

Remember them back in the early 2000's. I was like no way will this guys voice last the way he abused it. 20 yrs later....

The fact Corey still gets choked up getting any sort of award now melts my heart. I've only seen Slipknot once in 2019. Even though its tamer than what they were doing 20 years ago, they put a lot of theatrics into their performance and their playing is on point. I hope I live long enough to see them inducted in the Rock n Roll hall of fame some day. Corey is a hell of a front man and his band mates are top notch musicians🤘

Awww Corey's reaction when he got that award kills me. It's heartening to see how much he cares after all this time. Also the new album is incredible ugh. Can't wait to see them in Keynes!!

Corey is so humble! He has always been so polite and professional. He is one of last REAL musicians out there and he and his band members proof that rock is not and will NEVER be dead!!! 🤘🤘

What I love about Corey is his humbleness and he’s so articulate. He really delves into detail and loves to talk, you can get a sense that he would be great to have at the dinner table for a deep conversation or even on the piss!

What a fucking great human being Corey is, what an amazing reaction to that little plaque. Absolute legend.

Clowns vision is what makes slipknot successful thro the years! I LOVE CLOWN

When he starts to tear up at the Kerrang award ♥ You can see how much it meant to him to be receiving that. He's so down to earth and intelligent as hell; that and his music and singing voice are reasons why I love Slipknot and Corey Taylor so much. I've been binge watching interviews of his all morning😂

Awe man...his reaction to that award killed me...that must have been so overwhelming. What a humble man.

What a reaction to receiving the band's award, that's why the fans love Corey, he's as real and honest as it gets!

It is still amazing how Slipknot after 20 years how they still growing

Corey’s reaction to the award shows how much music and Slipknot and everything related to that means to him, what a legend and deserved award 🤘🏻

He is the king 😭👑7 years listening to them,slipknot forever❤️🤘🏻24:58 awwww his face when he gave him the radio hall of fame thing,he is so precious he deffinetly does not take his fame or his band for granted at all he appreciates everything👑👑

gotta be honest I miss Corey on Social media

if they ever split up i will actually cry and never stop

Iowa was one of the best albums period...

I was at the Astoria gig. Still have my ticket & t-shirt. One of my all time favorite gigs.

Crazy arse insane guy on stage but also a wonderfully sensitive guy too. Great video 😊😊

That was such a lovely moment when the interviewer told Corey that Slipknot was inducted into their hall of fame. It means so much to him and he deserved that moment because he puts honesty, heart and soul into his music. That was unexpected; I'm glad I watched the whole video.

It’s amazing to see Cory so humbled when he receives the hall of fame cert. Cory Taylor is a rock legend

Went too see him that night in Birmingham, what a gig!

So humble, it seems hes constantly astounded that people love and appreciate his music. I adore him. Saw slipknot that very night, one of the greatest nights of my life no joke. Great work

I love this fucking guy. I'm 32 and I've been a die hard fan since Iowa. I hope for many more years to come 🤘👺🤘

I love how so many people are leaving comments thinking Corey is gonna see them. This is just an interview. It's not Slipknot's channel.

Look at Corey’s face for 20 seconds without blinking and then look at a wall

Good job in getting recommended. This was a great interview!

I think it's safe to say they've become a legacy band. In the vain of Iron Maiden, Rammstein etc. They have certain set pieces that are present every show but also have elements that evolve with every tour.

His reaction to the award is incredible . Love this man an love this band

24:40 got me little choked up. That’s Awesome! Been a huge fan since 99 🤘🏻

Corey is so modest,You and the band deserve it and more, Slipknot is the band of this century, nobody else comes close, Outside The Nine, Forever

Corey needs to narrate my life.. That voice.. The darkness between Slipknot and the lighter Stone Sour.. It really connects with the duality of my emotions.

Play the nameless live, please.

There's a fleck on the wall right above Corey's head and for the longest time I thought it was a speck on my phone. (Madly trying to clean that spot didn't do anything.)

I remember first reading about Slipknot in a Maxim magazine. In a howitzer, on a field training exercise, in Germany as a young soldier back in the late 90’s. Now here we are in 2020 and WE’RE ALL OLD! Thanks for all the great tunes that I blew up sh*t to.

Thank you slipknot for helping me wiv my social anxiety back im my teens still amazing to this day 😲

Fantastic interview and presentation at the end. Corey really seems like a great person.

that might be the understatement of the century " 20 year kings of live metal" how many times have you heard people say " slipknot actually sounds better live" i remember having the iowa live album and it's just so much more enjoyable. no one else even comes close. i mean i havent been a fan of the new album but slip knot has always brought the energy and never cheaps out on a performance. i may not agree with coreys politics and such but he seems like a good dude and is a great musician. keep rocking

I was not expecting that segment at the end and Corey’s reaction aww 🥺 it was so awesome to see. He’s so genuine and humble❤️ They deserve it and have earned it all❤️❤️❤️✨

God fucking damn it Corey, I love you and you are awesome! I've listened to you and slipknot since I was like 16 or whatever (37 now) and I still listen. Keep it up mate!

Corey threw rocks at me one time at the play ground over at big creek when I was growing up.

24:06 hey i was alive and i wasat the O2 and im not a crusty old dude lol. I laughed so much at that and then i cried with him. Hes one of the only people not just here but at his solo shows even a Slipknot gig that can make you laugh one minute and cry the next. Love this man and the band

Man Corey’s reaction got me in the feels ❤️

i am the 99's dude who still alive and waiting till today..thank god we could be able to see for the first time in Indonesia this march, so happy about it!.....dream come true to see my big inspiration in music.....even tho i play pop punk

One of my biggest dreams, has been to see Slipknot live but still haven't been able to due to finances, no vehicle, etc. That said I have been a loyal fan for a very long time, since their self titled album, hell even have them tattooed. Love the band, energy, & helping me thru so much in my lifetime, with their music. hopefully one day I will get to see them. Long live the Knot! \m/

I love the HUGE content drops by Slipknot of the last week or so. I want to see CMFT and Mike Patton collaborate.

Awwww....you made him tear up....that's kinda awesome!! Love Slipknot!!!

In the late 90s I can vividly remember standing in line after school waiting for the busses and my friend wearing a slipknot shirt, I can remember thinking who the hell are these crazy ppl in the masks...my friend let me listen to his CD player on the bus and from that point on I've been a fan... there's been bands I've liked then didn't care for over time, I'm 32 now and still love slipknot just as much as I did back then and it's awesome they are still going 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻

NECA Slipknot , MAKE THAT HAPPEN!

I about lost it when Corey got that 20 year award. I was in shock and awe with Corey. #MakePaulGrayProud

Wonderful interview and presentation...Corey you are amazing brother.been with you and the guys since the beginning! Keep it up!

after hearing eyeless for the first time, i knew i'd never have to listen to another metal band ever again. it was just that good, and we the fans have aged and evolved with the band so they are still reflecting our experiences as we all grow up together.

my heart will break so much if he leaves slipknot. he’s my favorite vocalist ever and hes perfect for slipknot. i love stone sour but slipknot wins my heart😭

You deserve everything and more Corey. *Never forget that*

Thank the gods you guys made more music, Slipknot music has pulled me out of my Dark place many times!

Been to the concert recently. Love love love!!!!!!! Thank you Slipknot 🖤🖤🖤
