![]() How vital has it been to have someone like Jay to work with throughout the creative process, and what has that working relationship meant to you? Corey Taylor, CMF2 Album ArtĬMF2 reunites you with producer Jay Ruston, who you worked with on CMFT, as well as Stone Sour’s Hydrograd record. But even then, I would probably have friends come in and add stuff here and there, you know? That's when I would probably do everything myself. I want people to add their language to it and to me, I don't think I would ever want to do something like that. I want them to be stoked playing it, you know? I don't want a bunch of robots. But at the same time, I want them to be happy. It's like I come up with the main body of the songs and write the majority of the material. They definitely do that and that's why I try to kind of share the spoils with them as well. So, that's why I give my band, a lot of free rein to engage with it creatively, to add, to indulge, to even come in sometimes and make some of the riffs a little different. A song really kind of comes into its own when you have other voices on it, you know? It really feels like it becomes something bigger than the idea that you had when you have other people. No, I 100 percent love the band dynamic because to me, the core of the song is just where I started. Do you see a point in the future where you pull a Wolfgang Van Halen and record all the instruments? Like would you ever do a full record on your own? Or do you enjoy the band dynamic too much? It feels as though you're taking on more with this record. So, it's important to know where the people are who are listening.Ĭorey on the new album, you not only sing but play lead and rhythm guitar, piano and mandolin. There are great bands out there that people have never even heard of just because. ![]() So now you kind of have to figure it out down the line.įor me, the one thing I would try to tell a newer band is definitely know where your core audience is first, and know how to reach out to them and how to engage them and once you've got that cemented, you start to work the edges and kind of push the boundaries and kind of push the envelope of where you go because if you don't know where your core audience is, man, nobody's gonna see you. But once you did, you knew that you were going to be guaranteed an audience. Whereas before it was harder to get in on these limited spots. So, now you’ve got to spread it across all formats, all boundaries, all pages, all sites, all this crazy stuff. ![]() It's not condensed into one spot, so you just don't know. There's opportunity around every corner but I think it's almost like the reverse issue that there's so much opportunity, that there's no one place that the audience is. You work hard to get signed, you hope that the label gets behind you and then you just tried to get on radio, you try to get on TV, you try to do everything that you can to kind of get the attention of everything. It's interesting, you know, because obviously, when we came out, it was still very much the old system, the old regime. Since Slipknot were signed all those years ago, what have you seen as the biggest changes pertaining to how bands are now handled? And what type of experience would you like to provide for an act that you signed to your imprint? So, now I'm working on the Decibel Cooper empire, as it were.Ĭorey, a lot has changed in the music industry. So I just applied Decibel Cooper to that as well. ![]() It's kind of clever and with with Decibel Cooper, it was actually the name of a side project that I wanted to do, like a few years ago and I ended up using it as my production company for the for my movies that I'm working on and then when the time came to do the imprint, I was just like, well, I'll just tie that all together. I always keep a list of like weird names and stuff that I kind of come up with, just when I'm tooling around and I'll think of something that's kind of cool. Tell me about how you landed on that as the name of your new imprint label and how it applies to what you're looking for in putting out music. Corey Taylor, rocker actor, author and now a label imprint honcho! Corey I gotta say I love the name Decibel Cooper, which I'm assuming is a nod to the notorious D.B. We've got the one and only Corey Taylor with us on the show this week. Taylor also speaks to the live concert experience as it is in 2023 and offers the one critique of modern day shows that he'd like to see change.
