That would have sucked hard…as hard as Steve Guttenburg sucked me off in the bathroom stall of a Montreal queer bar circa 1987. Just sayin’

Ugh. Thank fuck he didn’t make it in.

Hey Slash – what about a female singer????

Corey Taylor?!?! WTF?!?!? They would’ve been far better off breaking up than to have him as lead vocalist, seriously. What next, we’re gonna find out they auditioned Fred Durst as well?

that picture is awesome.

Geez guys, are you going to start being like Axl and taking your sweet-assed time getting anything done?

If Corey Taylor was good enough to garner their consideration as a vocalist, then I wouldn’t discredit him as a performer. Especially one comparable to Fred Durst. VR was serious enough to record demo’s with Corey, and if he were a less than competent replacement I don’t see why the band would waste their time.

did someone say AXL????

Two words:
Perry Ferrell

Two Words:
No Way.

Yeah. How about everybody mans the hell up, swallows pride, and go get Axl.

Pete Doherty. Just for laughs.

Is it just me or is dude’s right knee like, wicked hairy in that picture?

Seriously I just zeroed in on it and now I can’t stop seeing it…ugh.

i can do it i can sing anything

this is like the new alice in chains vocals, what´s his name? WIlliam, oh yea.

Why not try out JD fortune…..he’s been doing nothing since In XS kicked him out.

Go get Axl. Nothing else will work and the money to be made will be like ntohing else we have ever seen. Hey Irving! Earn your money and make it happen. NOW!

BTW. I love Chinese Democracy. Thanks Axl.

Where my DIET COKE!

Pick me! Pick me!

Cory Taylor is a musical genius who has studyied classical for many years and would of did the band justice…considering the rest of them are legends as well.

It is not a case of just ‘go get Axl’…I’m sure these guys would have gotten over the feud and reformed GNR by now but Axl has called Slash a ‘cancer’ and stated on numerous occasions that there is no way he will perform with the original line-up again…GNR Reunion = not going to happen.

Why don’t they offer the spot up to Duff? So he may not be the best singer, he’s already in the band…

I find this to be pretty funny and unexpected! Corey can actually sing though if you’ve heard his Stone Sour band, so it wouldn’t be really odd if he did get the gig.

Gary Cherone

shit…i can’t belevet! omg..

WTF!!!COREY WORKING FOR ANOTHER SIDE PROJECT BUT THIS TIME WITH VR FUCKIN-AYE DUDE…OH WELL COREY IS JUS LIVIN HIS DREAM AND I AM LIVIN MINE…YEA, IT ACTUALLY WOULD NOT SUPRISE BUT SLASH IS NOT CONSIDERING IT SO FUCK IT!!!

seriously think about it…Henry Rollins

I definitley have terrible tastes in music.
Because VR seems to be such a popular band, and I think they sound like a bad holdover from the 80’s hair band era.
But hey, Coery can do whatever he wants. He already gave the world some groundbreaking music thru Slipknot.

wat the i think hes just fine in slipknot hes to good for a shity ass band like that anyway

slipknotu rock

..maybe from japan..

Ginger from the Wildhearts is the best singer for that band.

seems to me that VR made a mistake, if anyone here actually bothered to LISTEN to Corey then they would know that he is an amazing vocalist. People just assume that he sucks because they don’t like slipknot or stone sour that all he can do is scream.

For anyone who wants to at least consider a change of heart try listening to:
(Slipknot) Circle, Danger – Keep Away, Child of Burning Time, ‘Till We Die, Dead Memories
(Stone Sour) Zzyxz Rd., The Day I Let Go, Through Glass, Wicked Game,and Sillyworld

Thanks For Your Time

damn he loves singing thats it dont worry about making fun of him. If he didnt love singing ask your self why he sings for stone sour and slipknot. Ever think he likes it and wanted to be part of another good band?

well corey taylor is a gr8 guy and he is “brave” to admit that he tried for VR. there is no shame though…

I think Corey Taylor would have been a great fit for VR, although hard to juggle with Stone Sour and Slipknot. I think tyler made a great point Corey can sing, another example is “Snuff.” Me being both a Corey and slash fan think it would be awesome to see both jam together at least ones!

After recently seeing a you tube version of Corey Taylor doing It’s So Easy with Slash I can totally see this. Oh well!

slipknot are great but it is no shame for corey taylor trying for VR. i mean, he is very populare at the minute in slipknot and stone sour.the thing is corey taylor can sing, so he should have got the place in VR. i am not testifying im just syaing corey is a good guy and any-one who says he is a whimp then he is not.

slipknot have just realsed their new single and got reunited through thier break. with jim root and corey taylor then doing sid projects for stone sour and joey jordison for murder dolls, obviously corey would be kind board. what is the big deal with every one shocked about him trying for VR?

awnser that….: )
stay (sic)

i also think that VR would have done good with corey taylor, why did they turn down the offer? it also says “taylor is the FIRST to admit “. i am not sure if anyone else tryied for it. i mean, it didn’t work out so not much corey taylor can do. i hope VR recuite a lead- vocalist

Corey would have proberly got the job but there was something that didnt work. proberly that corey is more seen in slipknot as heavy metal. it might have influanced VR that they don’t wasnt a heavy metal singer in the band.

i am not particually sure what happend but i hope something happens.

Cory I love you you’re band slipknot is da best my to fav songs r wait and bleed and sulfur and butchers hook your Guitarist Mick Thompson is sick I have like four of your shirts one ses all of r endings r about to begin

This is will be a great kick for me. I love slipknot and I dont want that Corey leave the band. No!!!!!!
