Fan-filmed video footage of SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor performing a cover version of David Bowie‘s “Moonage Daydream” on Sunday, May 19 at Gardenamp in Garden Grove, California can be seen below.
Taylor‘s solo set also includes covers of such artists as GUNS N’ ROSES and VAN HALEN.
In addition to working on SLIPKNOT‘s new album, Taylor has kept busy in recent months guesting on tracks by FALLING IN REVERSE and U.K. rapper Kid Bookie.
SLIPKNOT will embark on a European tour this summer before launching the “Knotfest Roadshow” across North America.
The band’s new album, “We Are Not Your Kind”, is scheduled for release on August 9.
Taylor said in a 2016 interview that it would be “super greedy” of him to launch a solo career — at least for now. Speaking with RockSverige.se, Taylor explained: “I’ve been getting questions about solo stuff forever. But it’s a good problem to have. But, at the same time, I’m in two fantastic bands. Why would I ever?”
He added, “Unless I wanted to get super greedy, why would I try to split off and do something else. I’m very fulfilled by the music that I get to make with both bands. Is there a solo album in me? Yes. But it’s not gonna be for a few more years.”
Taylor spoke a while back about what he thought a solo album from him might sound like. “For me, the stuff that I write is, it would be like a cross between the [FOO FIGHTERS], SOCIAL [DISTORTION] and THE REPLACEMENTS, you know,” he told The Pulse Of Radio. “I mean, real Midwestern rock. Real, just open chords, good time rock, you know. And damn the critics, basically. That’s the stuff I write and that’s the stuff I’ve always tried to write.”
