Corey Taylor - Vocals
Nicknamed "The Sickness"
Corey is the master of the horrid vocals and lyrics in Slipknot. Before
he joined the band, he worked in a porn shop to earn money. On stage he
is loud, fast, and out of control. Offstage, he seems very calm and down
to Earth.
Quote - "We aren't hiding behind these masks, we're actually revealing
more to you than you might think. The mask I wear brings out all the sh*t
inside me that I hate. Plus it hurts like hell, which helps my intensity."
Mask - Used to be a leatherface cover, with brown/blonde dreads. Yes,
some of the dreads were made of his real hair. He used to wear them
through the mask, but he cut them off because it was a pain to pull them
through. Also, he was always changing his hairstyle. Now, his
mask is made out of molded latex instead of leather. Most of the
dreads now seem to be fake.

Corey is the lead singer, and has the nickname of "Faith". Although hes loud on stage, hes really quiet and down to earth off of it. Before the band wore coveralls, Corey dressed in a preist outfit. He was in the band Stone Sour before Slipknot. Corey mask is a crash dummy mask. The dreads on them are partially his real hair wrapped in twine which he sewed on after being pissed from having to pull it through the little holes on the top, and a scalp infection.
