Corey Taylor covers up Slipknot burns with tattoos

SLIPKNOT frontman COREY TAYLOR had to cover up scar tissue from the band's crazy early shows with tattoos.

looking for references for corey's tattoos and found this gem

I know this has been posted to Tumblr somewhere before, but here’s the interview with that clip of Jim gently shaking Corey’s face like a rag doll

hopefully, this will be useful for someone 😉

i found these pics (i would have guessed yearbook photos, but the source said 2001) and oh my god

corey has THEE most unfortunate hair here

(going down the rows left to right I think this is sid, joey, paul, chris, jim, craig shawn, mick, corey?)

Corey and his different types of "Screaming" and "Singing"

I found this ancient Slipknot fansite that appears to have been made by a Danish teenager sometime between 2004-2008.

The 'about me' is adorable:

Apparently, he hates McDonald's!

I think I decided on everyone’s camp names for the camp maggot setting, although I don’t know what to do with this information. I went with more traditional naturey nicknames mostly.

No idea if I’ll actually write a story with this setting but it’s fun to daydreamb. For those keeping track

Summary: Sweet Pea (Sid), Gecko (Joey), Piglet (Paul), Bug (Chris), Biscuit (Jim), Cricket (Craig), Moose (Shawn), Bubbles (Mick), Tigger (Corey) Blossom (Alessandro), Juju (Jay), Slinky (Michael)

Gecko & Slinky work in Climb

Bug & Juju work in Arts and Crafts

Biscuit & Bubbles work in Camping

Moose & Blossom work in Nature

Piglet works in Paddle

Cricket works in Archery

Tigger works in Swimming

Loose reasoning/inspo:

Sid: Sports (nn Sweet Pea)

I think it was Ross (?) who said something like that Sid puts an ‘amazingly sweet vibe into every room’. Of course he’s a sweetpea.

Joey: Climbing (nn Gecko)

I was thinking of cresties because there’s a black/red variant (more orangey tho) and they have cute, grippy little paws. They could probably hold tiny drumsticks. Plus in this setting obviously they’re good at climbing.

Paul: Paddle aka boating (nn Piglet)

They are both friend shaped (also obviously referencing his pig mask although I don’t know if they have a band yet).

Chris: Arts & Crafts (nn Bug)

Originally I thought of Weevil (a reference to his mask , weevils are beetles with long snouts). Bug sounded better.

Jim: Camping (nn Biscuit)

a nickname from camperhood, after Seabiscuit because he had/has ‘horse girl hair’. Also because he is all legs like a horse.

Craig: Archery (nn Cricket)

Still notoriously quiet here so, so crickets.

Shawn: Nature (nn Moose)

Big, cranky, could kill you, looks cute, could kill you, still cute.

Mick: Camping (nn Bubbles)

Just one of those dumb nicknames that are like opposites, he gets a cute nickname because he’s big and kinda scary. But the kids still love him.

Corey: Swimming (nn Tigger)

Boundless energy. Also ginger. This just felt right too.

Alessandro: Nature (nn Blossom)

I am once again thinking about the flower beard pic but this one also just felt right. And a little bit more opposite-nickname funny because blossoms are small and delicate.

Jay: Arts and Crafts (nn Juju)

Just a play on his name from Jay to Jay-Jay Juju. This one just felt right.

Michael: Climbing (nn Slinky)

This guy is constantly moving I swear. Also I think he gets accidentally tangled in the low ropes elements a lot. Maybe not so accidentally too.

If Corey is secretly a cat, does that mean he’s prone to spontaneously and violently chomping the person petting him?

baby corey in a mesh top and short shorts, hmmmm?
