Corey Taylor To Sing For Anthrax?
Band Photo: Slipknot (?)
According to a post at Blabbermouth, there is much truth to this statement.
SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor has confirmed that he has been working with ANTHRAX on material for their upcoming studio album. Speaking to Germany's Rock Hard magazine, Taylor said of the possibility that he will become the new ANTHRAX singer, "It's been banded about. I'm not saying anything right now because all it's been is just talked about. Obviously, I'm really good friends with those guys. It kind of started as a joke. And then the more we talked about it, the more serious it got. I'm gonna at least help them out. It's kind of a dream come true ? ANTHRAX is one of my favorite bands. We're just kind of taking baby steps right now. I know that we worked on about eight or nine songs together that I've written lyrics for, and there was a song that I had actually written for them that I was just gonna give them the music for, and once this kind of happened, I had to turn around and write lyrics for it myself. But there's nothing definite right now. It's one of those things where it's like we're just gonna kind of play it by ear and just see what happens. So there's nothing definite. It's something that we're talking about ? it's something that we kind of wanna do. But I'm in two huge bands right now. So it's like I barely get enough time to sleep, let alone do another band. . . I'm gonna be busy, period. I'm just kind of honored that they would even consider me. These are people that I grew up listening to, these are guys that I had the privilege of getting to know on a real basis. To have them look at me and go, 'You know what? We would love to work with you,' it's such a huge compliment. It kind of makes me feel like I've come a long way in my life."

I've never really been a big Anthrax fan (Fistful of Metal was good though) apart from the song I Am The Law which I think is killer. And I can't see Taylor's voice reaching those high notes. I could be suprised though, he has a powerful voice when he's not rapping (uhhh) or with his ennui enducing mainstream band.
"with dropped tunings and heavy slow palm mutes on open strings." - Anthrax has been doing that for a while.

Personally I prefer the Anthrax with John Bush over Joey Belladonna but regardless I would not want to see Corey Taylor in Anthrax. Not at all. I'm not sure who would be the ideal new singer but defintely not Taylor. The rumour that it was gonna be Di'anno sounded pretty cool but as Paul can't work in the States it ain't gonna happen.

Too good to be true? Post #13, you're insane. That's like if your doctor came up to you and said "It's cancerous, but we can remove it" and you get depressed because you really, really, wanted cancer. That's like being upset because your uncle won't molest you. Corey deserves to drown in hog shxt for the rest of his existence. He should stay the fxck away from Anthrax. He's like King Midas only everything he touches turns to aluminum instead of gold.
And don't bother citing how many records he's sold, because, if you haven't noticed, the world is awash with dumbasses, and any lame jackoff can sell a trillion records.
And don't bother asking me how many records I've sold, because I'm not a lame jackoff. If I were, though, I'd be a billionaire, apparently.

GOD!! MOTHERf***ER!! JESUS CHRIST!! f***ING!! ANAL SEX!! @#$+@#!!! #@%&$!! BLAAAAAAAAAAAAH!! What the hell is wrong with Corey?! First he announces that there may only be one more Slipknot album and then says StoneSour is where it is? Slipknot had LoG and Shadows Fall playing for them!! Stone Sour is playing for Disturbed!! He probably didn't even talk to the rest of the band. he just said "Hey let's piss off the maggots! Lets crap on their devotion. Sure! Why they hell not? By the way, I am God!!" Now he wants to go and f*** up Anthrax. Anthrax's style is wholey different then Corey's. Corey needs to learn that even though he is an awesome singer he is not a god. Come to think of it. . . he's becoming a modern day Axle Rose. Minus the breakdowns. They are probably on their way though. I love Slipknot and Corey is my idol but this sh** cannot be happening!! PIGS!!

First of all, I will talk shxt about his corny a$$ all I want. I don't give a fxck that he's sold tons of records. He's sold tons of records because there's tons of retards out there who follow around worthless wannabe martyrs. Corey used to be all about "fxck everyone" and now that the "fxck everyone" kids are growing up, he's trying to change his tone so he doesn't fall off. He's a sad sack of shxt and so is anyone who follows him. Anyone who has Corey Taylor for an idol seriously needs to re-evaluate their idols. You'd be better off worshipping David Hasselhoff. At least the guy had decent hair.
Shxtknot is a decent way to put it.

"remember when gary coleman was a security guard? Thats how gay this news is." Absolutely hilarious rk
but he doesnt do rap... if you've ever heard stone sour thats not his style.... and fast vocal delivery is not rap, obviously you dont listen to any rap. But this really suck because corey's vocals are really great dry screaming all around good, but he probably is doing this because slipknot is doing their last album right now.

Corey Taylor may be my idol but that doesn't mean I agree with everything he does. This crapp with ending Slipknot and joining Anthrax is bull. You don't join a band you listen to when you grew up. You get a big head. A huge head. I am in an awesome underground band that I do the vocals for. But if my band made it into the industry and was asked to lead for Slipknot i would at once be flatterred but be forced to decline. You should never picture yourself to be as great as your idols. YOu may become as great as them but your generation will never see you that way. Only the next generation will. And they should not try to step up to you. And also a band is like a family or like a woman. Its like a family b/c you have a connection with your bandmates. Having more than one lowers their value. Its like a woman b/c come on man its only right to have one woman. And you don't cheat on her. Otherwise you'll never get laid again.

You are all insane. Every last one of you. I don't care if you like slipknot or Corey Taylor or not. While early Anthrax with Belladonna was undoubtedly some of the greatest thrash music ever, the John Bush stuff was a shining light in an era of grunge and sub-standard radio hip-hop and girl rock. Stomp was and is one of the greatest metal albums ever made! Period!!! To have you guys sh$t on a band who kept the torch aloft while the rest of the world was forgetting that the metal genre was still viable is unforgivable.

Somehow everyone here is blaming Corey Taylor? Yeah I think the problems with Anthrax.

I've already said I've got a band under my belt. We're trying to get noticed. But if I ever pulled the crapp Corey is pulling it would break my fiancee's heart.

Hey, Oz, thanks.
As far as C0ckbreath Taylor, shxtknot, and Stone Deaf go, I'm finished with it all. But the real question is, how does listening to Beastie Boys make someone not a metalhead? See? That's more of that needless genre-bashing that I'm talking about. If it wasn't for Adrock, MCA, and Mike D, Corey Taylor's fa**otass would never have had the fxcking guts or the audience to get onstage and wear a g0ddamned halloween mask, and play Spit It Out in front of people. Everyone who listens to Shxtknot owes the Beasties a couple of blowjobs because if they didn't pave the way, shxtheads like Corey would never have been able to exist. Beastie Boys and Run DMC made funky rap & metal the right way, and that's why Corey's jumping ship becasue he can't decide what genre he wants to deface next. I'm done.
Thanks again for the understanding defence, Oz. You truly are a kindred soul. Why do all the cool motherfxckers live overseas? Everyone here's fxcking mental.

Okay guys above, quit your b****ing! Lets ignore the fact that this is Corey Taylor whom the elitists of Metal despise (I'm an elitist too, but from one artist to the other, I've nothing personal against him...Just not into his material)...I think the idea to look at is not the fact that some Nu Metal frontman is collaborating with an actual Metal band...the thing is, Corey is working with someone he looked up to, and on top of that, they approve of him...
Lets ignore the people in this article, and think about if you were in your own band, and the band that YOU worship, that inspired YOU to pick up an instrument said they liked your sh** and wanted to work with you?
Like for me, if Nergal of BEHEMOTH ever said "Love your guitaring, love your lyrics, lets work together", I'd be giddy like all kinds of schoolgirl!

Lol cheers Crawford.
I think there was another demo with Anders aswell called Crows. My mate said it's crap and he's a big Slipknot fan.
Aaaanyways, my point to Shadow was when you quote a band it doesn't do anything to the person you're arguing with except make them go "Oh christ, what a twat." If you wanna question me listening to the Beastie Boys then I will back it up for you. Fact of the matter is when I was first getting into rock and metal years ago I became a fan of the Beasties initially through songs like Fight For Your Right and No Sleep 'Til Brooklyn without knowing just how hip hop they really are. Despite this I really liked the hip hop stuff they were coming out with aswell because I can listen to other music aside from metal despite metal being top dog of all genres. I still listen to the music that got me into what I listen to now because I still like it. As Crawford said, Run DMC were another great rap group. The fact of the matter is though, there's plenty of people on here that wouldn't consider SOAD metal and you seem to be constantly listening to them. Don't get me wrong I'm not saying Beasties are metal or that there's anything wrong with SOAD but think about what you're saying here. Aerials is hardly metal and it's hardly up there with metal songs like Seek And Destroy and Into Crypt Of Rays is it?
Much thanks to Cynic for the backup aswell.
65. writes:
SOAD not metal?! Are you crazy? Have you ever listened to Prison Song or B.Y.O.B? They got awesome growls in those songs. And as for Aerials a metal song doesn't have to be heavy. Aerials is an awesome song. And you two (JingoJango and Oz) I just want you to know that rap and hiphop didn't pave the way for numetal. You know what did? Old school metal bands did as well as the hard rock bands of old too. Now i didn't come on this board to argue or piss people off but ignorance offends me. True there is some elements of rap in numetal. Like Corey for example. But hiphop didnt pave the way. They just influenced a few songs. Nothing wrong with that SpitItOut and OnlyOne are awesome songs and they are almost completley rap. Besides OnlyOne which the last two thirds of the song is growling and screaming. And to Cynic i am a loyal and devoted maggot. I've tried to find out as much as possible about the nine members. Shawn knows where his priorities are. When his wife got sick, the Subliminal Verses Tour got postponed so he could stay with his wife. After the Subliminal Verses Tour Corey went home. But then he rushes off to StoneSour goes on tour and after he's done he's going straight back into Slipknot for god knows how many years. Corey might be gone this time for four to five years. How is his family supposed to deal with that? I"ve got a band of my own but if we made it I could never do that to my fiancee. I think Corey needs to slow down. Put his old dreds mask on, and remember what got him here in the firstplace. He needs to stop living in the mask and wake up. And no I don't have the right to judge him but rules have never stopped me.

OK think of this then, Slipknot have amongst the a DJ, one Sid Wilson, do you know who his biggest influence was? THE BEASTIE BOYS!!! Rap and hip hop has more of an influence than people think. Both were a major influence on nu- metal whether you wanna admit it or not. And yes I have heard Prison Song and BYOB, I've got all released albums, like I said I'm a fan aswell and never said I don't consider them metal but I know for a fact there are people on this site that don't which is all well and good. It's a matter of opinion. SOAD are also influenced by hip hop if you haven't noticed, good god you can hear the influence on BYOB! Fact (and I say this as a fan of metal, nu-metal and hip hop) : Hip hop and rap DID pave the way for nu metal. Look at the amount of nu metal bands you can hear the influence in: Korn, Limp Bizkit, Coal Chamber etc.

I came accross this thread and I just had to reply to SHADOW. Dude, speaking like someone who thinks they know their stuff you have got to be one of the most ignorant fools out there. The fact that you know such details about the lives of members of the abomination called slipknot shows that you have no life and cannot think for yourself. Instead you live vicariously through a band of masked clowns. I'll bet when you first saw Slipknot pounding away monotonously on their metal barels you thought "wow great percussions!" I have always been an anthrax fan. But not your regular anthrax fan. For me Persistance and Sound of White noise are their 2 best albums. I always thought Among the Living (a popular favourite) sounded really bad. I cant stand Beladonna on that album. And I do also belive that along with bands like Helmet and Rage against the Machine they did help create the numetal sound, but I dont think they sound like numnetal. To me numetal is a trend of bands that never learnd how to properly play their guitars and cover it up with effects and 2 finger drop d tuning riffs. I always thought anthrax's riffs to have a certain simplicity to them. But now I am just trailing off into a tangent. The point is, SHADOW, your opinion is worthless because you yourself wrote that everyone is entitled to their opinion yet all you have done is sh*t on those who dont aggree with you. I'm sure your band is GREAT!!!! lol

Have you heard that the new Beasties album is gonna be instrumental? I like the tracks I've heard so far. Anyways, personally I wouldn't consider Tool metal but a band with metal influences that are more accepted in the metal stream. My opinion no doubt some others will disagree. All good.

i dont think it matters what tool is considered that much because either way they're good.

But i personally consider them metal.

heres a good way to explain to you the difference of progressive hard rock to metal or just rock to metal in my mind.... its the comparison of Porcupine Tree to Tool. Ozzy Osbourne cant even scream like Maynard and black sabbath is considered by most to be Heavy metal. I mean if you can consider Heart to be Hard rock or even arena rock, i think personally you can consider Tool metal, but im not going to get p***ed off if someone thinks they're rock its not that big of a deal.

That's pretty harsh man, and just plain wrong, we all have idols. It's human instinct. I have heros (Paul Masvidal being one) and I know about their lives, doesn't mean I don't have my own, and certainly doesn't mean I can't think for myself.
And is Tool metal? The eternal question which has no point. Tool have been rejected from the Metal Archives umpteen times so for me it's a big nay. However, they are an incredible band with strong alternative metal influences. Tool is one of those bands that needs a sentence to describe them rather than a word.

My point was that you dont have to scream to be a metal band... ozzy osbourne, and heart... I consider porcupine tree hard rock, because he plays harder like rock and roll style, the heavy riffs i dont know how to describe it but i think they are less metal. But they do still have elements like the use of double bass at times and things like that.
I agree with almost all you said cynic accept i think magazines and other people dont always get it right. For example devildriver is a band that i think that it is relatively obvious that they are a death metal/groove metal band with alt. aspects but others try to claim that they are partly thrash and not death metal. Also many other hardcore bands are often falsely labeled thrash as well (like unearth). Thrash is not the only genre that is commonly miss used though. But it is true that tool have alt. metal influences they have gone on account of saying that Meshuggah was one.
I still think they are metal, but i understand why you think what you think and it makes sense. But i also have heard many people classify bands like tool and rage against the machine Hard Rock, i think they may have been classified that in the movie Metal: A Headbangers Journey... although yet again i think opeth is not black metal and he classified them as that, and i hate the classification of "New Wave," which they included.

Nu-metal is such a stupid genre tittle, its like neo- anything, or new age stuff its going to be oldies in 10 years. Plus it's too general of a term like new wave sh**, nu-metal is just popular metal the mainstream of metal the group with more choruses and more of a normal take on it... but that doesnt mean that there are not other genres within those. I think if you want to use nu-metal as a term to be based around Korn then very few bands fit, like coalchamber... and nobody. Everyone else was just copying each other so it makes a genre like alt. rock, punk, and grunge all did for a bit of time. But otherwise i dont like using it to refer to a bad, i mean if it's assumed that this is what the genre is then i use it but otherwise its stupid. Any band from that time gets stuck into it, mudvayne even got put in the mess at one point but i would not call them nu-metal.
Maybe i'm just being whinny and just happen to be annoyed by it because it has a bad rep. or something; but a couple other genre tittles bother me as well, like Advante-Garde. Or experimental and psychedelic, those are describing the ideas of the band not really the sound, jimmy hendrix was a rock and roll blues mixture who happened to do drugs like most of the bands of that time making a silly genre tittle.
The whole point of genres is to differentiate band, its not meant to bring a genre down or anything it's supposed to be fun, and so people can understand eachother's tastes better even if the bands in those genres dont always sound the same, i dont think nu-metal and those others do them justice, even if i dont listen to much jimi or that much nu-metal.
Because honestly system of a down, slipknot, korn, and disturbed dont sound that similar. Korn has heavy slap bass, tribal insane vocals(at times), a distinct drum style very different from slipknots, and 7-string not complex but well distorted and used to be, good sounding riffs. There are similarities but not in their ultimate sound, but in the structures of the songs.
sorry for the long post/rant d-1

"And I still don't see Beastie Boys influencing SOAD. i don't think anyone influenced those carazy sonsab****es, i believe SOAD is one of those few 100% original bands."
There's no such thing as a 100% original band. EVERY band EVER is influenced by someone or another. Some one on this thread already stated that SOAD are influenced by Slayer, Cannibal Corpse and Brujera so that straight away contradicts your statement. Plus who discovered SOAD? Rick Rubin. Who produced the Beasties first album? Rick Rubin. I guarantee you that SOAD listened to the stuff Rubin released on Def Jam. Why do I guarantee this? 'Cause as I've already said I'm a SOAD fan and I've done my f***ing research. Fact: whether you wanna admit it or not, the Beastie Boys changed the way people thought about music. They were the first white hip hop act to be taken seriously by a black audience and thus paved the way for nu-metal because otherwise it would have been a bigger joke than many people already consider it. Just because a band doesn't sound like an influence that doesn't mean that they weren't influenced by that band. Just because Serj Tankian doesn't have a Brooklyn twang to his voice that doesn't mean that Beasties weren't an influence on SOAD. Just because Daron Malakian uses more complex guitar work than shown in other Beasties efforts doesn't mean they weren't influenced. Even the Beasties videos have influenced musicians. Look at the sheer randomness of some of their vids then compare it to the lyrics of SOAD.

Jackrum: This story came from Blabbermouth, who is owned by Roadrunner Records. Corey Taylor is signed to Roadrunner under Slipknot AND Stone Sour. So, it's a safe bet that if this were only a rumor with no merit, it wouldn't have made it to Blabbermouth.
Having said that, this whole situation is still just Anthrax trying to stay relevant. And it won't work.

SOAD arent 100% original. Some of their crazier songs are directly influenced by Mr.Bungle and Faith No More. Example : "Peephole" from their self-titled sounds like an evil circus! But they still kick a$$ and when compared to other bands they have to be the most original band ever. I have heard every song by SOAD and I can assure you that the Beastie Boys have never influenced them.
Almost all the nu-metal bands like Slipknot and Coal Chamber are just carbon-copies of Korn's self-titled.

Nobody should rip on anyone for liking the Beasty Boys. I think its good to embrace your roots, whatever got you into metal in the first place. Whether that be Zeppelin, or the Beasties, whatever. I have lots of respect for other genres, mainly the blues, but like somebody else already said metal is the top dog, no matter what your definition of metal is.

I don't know, SOAD has some rap-ish qualities in their vocals and drums. And I'd add that if a band does something specifically different than another, that's an influence. A lot of bands say they're influenced by everything they've ever heard. I doubt anyone not living in a third-world country or poverty hasn't heard the Beasties. Impossible unless you're cultured completely away from it.

You don't have to hear a direct influence in someones music for them to be influenced by someone. You wouldn't automatically think Mozart when you listen to Master of Puppets.
@SlugEmperor "Now playing: Khanate - Dead" <;-- Khanate is brilliant, I respect you for acknowledging the awesomeness of Khanate. There's a video on youtube they made for that song if you care.

well I heard a rumor once from a reliable source that J Bittner of shadows fall referred to anthrax as "his other band", when he was asked to fill in for Charlie B on a couple of gigs. So Im not going to let this "rumor" statement by Corey bother me until I actually hear it as an offical statement from the boys in Thrax! and even then I wont let it bother me until I hear some of their music with whomever they have as theyr singer. Then and only then will I make a judgement on the quality of the choice they made to fill in the role of vocalist. at least they didnt bring back neil Turbin, remmber that clown!
Oh and SOAD is definitely Nu-Metal.
Beastie Boys rule, influence or not.

and by the way motherf***ers...nu metal isnt slipknot. slipknot i think is to heavy and brutal for it, and theres not enough of more alternative sound on there previous albums(not vol.3) to even be called nu metal. but vol.3 has alot of nu metal in it. but slipknot itself for the most part is very much of death metal, and corey would sound awesome in the band if u actually listened to him sing. hell surprise you f***ing sh**holes all the way to the motherf***ing pop charts of speed metal motherf***er!!!! so kick a$$ for corey do as u please but dont do it if u still want a 'knot album.

YES!!! Sarah Smith is back. I have been waiting for her to show up. I am in love with Sarah Smith. I want her in the worst way!
As far as the rest of this thread goes there are only a few things to say:
1) Taylor is not the "new singer for Anthrax". I'm sure they would say something on the Anthrax website if he was.
2) Beastie Boys are one of the few BANDS that have kept the same members over numerous years and numerous albums. They are legends and deserve respect.

i know but everyone is so f***ig ignorant about it. dumb a$$ b****es all over the net are saying ylors the new singer. god f***ing dammit i hope he decides to do things with lipknot, cuz after all his family is slipknot and thats th band that made him as bifg as he is, and ya know wat e doesnt seem to care about it that much as you would think. io know that 'knopts coming out with a new album but its been to long of a wait.

hahahaha slipknot. everything they've ever done is garbage. i always give bands a chance when i haven't heard them yet but when you put your appearance before your sound i just dont wanna hear it. anthrax never tried to distract anyone from their music by looking stupid as hell on stage because the music was good. let's face it some people make money because their music is good and others play dress up to keep gullable morons from realizing their music SUCKS. slipknot isnt even the first to do that..... ever heard of gwar? slipknot fans, try LISTENING for a change!
