Corey Taylor shared a story so gross in a recent interview that once you hear it, you'll want to share it with others, because you can't be the only one that knows about this.

Speaking with Classic Rock, Taylor touched on meeting "Dimebag" Darrell and Vinnie Paul Abbott for the first time when Slipknot did a show in Dallas in 1999. The singer said after the show, the band and the Abbotts ended up at the Clubhouse, which was a gentlemen's club they co-owned. Everyone proceeds to get absolutely hammered.

Taylor says Dime loved pulling pranks on people. However, the guitarist clearly met his match with Slipknot percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan.

"They had one of their cooks hollow out a tomato and fill it with these insanely fiery red chili peppers," said Taylor. "Dime pulls out this tomato stuffed with this stupid knot of chilis and he goes, 'How much is it gonna cost to get all this down?' And Clown goes, 'I don’t need your money,' and just grabs it and starts eating it like an apple."

Then things take a turn.

Taylor, Clown and Dime are in the bathroom relieving themselves, because they've been drinking like the world was ending. They notice a piece of gum on a urinal cake.

"Dime looks over and goes, ‘Alright, Clown, how much would it take…’ Before he can finish, Clown reaches down, grabs it and starts chewing," said Taylor. "It was so f*cking gross ... Dime just threw his hands up. He talked about it until the day he died: 'Clown, he was the one motherf*cker I couldn’t get to collapse, he just f*cked me up.'"

In turn, if this story didn't f*ck you up, we're impressed and also frightened at the things you've done and seen in your life.

On a far less repulsive note: Taylor releases his new solo album, CMF2, on September 15. The LP is available for pre-order and pre-save here. Taylor is also hitting the road for a U.S. tour in support of CMF2 beginning on August 25 in Denver and wrapping on October 7 with a set at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, Calif.

5 Corey Taylor Quotes to Live By

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.

"When everything's offensive, then nothing will be."
