Corey Taylor Turns 38 Years Old!

Corey Todd Taylor (A.K.A. #8) is celebrating his 38th birthday today. In his 38 years of existence, the Slipknot and Stone Sour vocalist has gone through heaven and hell, but today he is a very happy man! Taylor is currently on the road promoting his debut book entitled "Seven Deadly Sins: Settling the Argument Between Born Bad and Damaged Good", in what has been dubbed as "An Evening With Corey Taylor". Definitely worth checking out!

Here are some facts about Corey Taylor:

- He was born on December 8, 1973 in Des Moines, Iowa, United States.

- Taylor was raised by his single mother, since his father abandoned his mother right before she gave birth to him. Thanks to his success he was able to reconnect with his father on March 28, 2005 and establish a relationship.

- Corey is half German and half Irish, which explains why he is so bad tempered.

- When he was a kid, his grandmother introduced him to Classic Rock (most specifically Elvis Presley), which is when he fell in love with music and started getting interested in forming his own band.

- He is currently married to his second wife, and has two children.

- Stone Sour was established by Taylor in 1992, and ever since then the band has released three studio albums.

- Taylor joined Slipknot in 1997, after their original singer Anders Colsefni left the band to form Painface. Together with the rest of Slipknot, he has released four studio albums.

- Juggling between Slipknot and Stone Sour has been a challenge for Taylor, but so far he has managed to make both band International sensations.

- He has worked with several artists, including Junk Beer Kidnap Band, Apocalyptica, Anthrax, Aaron Lewis of Staind, and Soulfly.

-Taylor was ranked number 86 in Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time.

HEAVY birthday brother and many more to come! \m/
