Stone Sour To Release EP, Live DVD

Yawn.

I know, I know. If I don’t like a band, why do I write about that band? Because when people do Google news searches, they look for bands they like. And a ton of people like Stone Sour. Then they come here, read me ripping on the band, and ask me why I’d write about them if I hate them.

That’s exactly why, folks. Stone Sour have a new EP of covers coming down the pike, as well as a live DVD. This is probably part of the reason why Corey Taylor is reluctant to work with Slipknot on a new record. Part of the reason. Stone Sour is doing well, commercially speaking, and so, why kill the cash cow?

Corey claims both the DVD and the EP will be out before year’s end. The DVD will feature a live concert which the band filmed last year in England, while the covers EP will feature songs chosen by each member of the band.

Taylor also hinted at some U.S. Slipknot shows down the line. Gee, phat.

    thanks for posting on bands you hate. I love Slipknot and Stone Sours music. I just wish Corey would keep the Stone Sour sound out of Slipknot. At one point, Slipknot was metal as fuck. I love Vol. 3 cuz it showed their diversity but AHIG was leaning more to the Stone Sour alternative rock sound. I really hope Corey gets pissed off and gets that “set the world ablaze” attitude again for the new Slipknot album. Since it will probally be their last one, give the fans a brutal Iowa type album the fans want. And again, thanks for keeping fans of bands u hate updated on the news. Appreciate it.

    lol. Well different strokes for different folks. Im kind of a rare breed I guess, lol, I listen to a little bit of everything. I prefer metal but I also like alternative rock, classical, classic rock, hiphop(mostly underground), a little r & b and a little country(old shit. Cash, Jones, Coe). I just miss pissed off, ill slit ur throat and fuck the wound Corey Taylor.
