Corey Taylor Announces New Livestream Event

Corey Taylor has announced a new global livestream event that will help raise money for a good cause.

"Half Sold Out: CMFT Live at the Palladium" will take place on Friday, October 14 beginning at 4 PM EDT. Advance tickets for the livestream cost $15 and are available at DreamStage.live. Additional broadcasts of the show will take place on October 17 and 18. The show will be available on-demand for two days beginning on October 18.

In a short clip talking about the show, Taylor says fans can expect him to perform his solo material, Stone Sour/Slipknot songs and some "rad covers."

The livestream will benefit Taylor's recently launch charity aptly named The Taylor Foundation. The foundation helps raise awareness and provide support to those dealing with the effects of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) including first responders and military personnel.

Corey Taylor is one of the most prominent figures in rock today and for good reason: He always has something interesting to say, and it seems like that trait isn't something that's waning with age.

One of the funniest things Taylor said in 2023 was his rant against a certain Beatles song. That song? The 1967 stand-alone single "All You Need Is Love." In fact, his hatred led to him writing "All I Want Is Hate" for his second solo album CMF2.

In an August appearance on the Zach Sang Show, Taylor said, "'All You Need Is Love' is one of the biggest pieces of sh-t that I've ever heard in my life. And every time I hear it, I feel like I'm getting shot at."

Taylor's forthcomingness is truly part of his charm and what makes him so appealing. This year marks his 50th birthday. While some might shy away from the subject of such a milestone birthday, Taylor doesn't. Speaking with WRIF's Meltdown back in May, Taylor said about turning 50, "I think about it constantly. I think about it when I get up out of bed. I think about it when I step on stage, and I break my back. I'm like, 'What am I doing?!'"

He continued, referencing his solo shows, "But, then I have to remember: I'm a mental person, so this is all I want to do. Obviously, it's a different kind of set I used to do when I was younger, when I was a kid. At the same time, I still love to play. I still love performing, and I love to get out there and try to do it as hard as I can. Until I break my neck again, I think I'll just keep going."

Obviously, Taylor is no stranger to the interview pull quote. After all, he is also an accomplished author. In honor of Taylor's birthday today (December 8), here are five quotes from his books everyone should live by.
