Slipknot Quotes

if you're 555,
them I'm 666 ~ Slipknot

I've been with you all day.

I'm impatient and it's really hard to breathe.
I'm going to empty you and fill you in with me ... ~ Slipknot

I left Stone Sour in '97 because, by that time, we'd been together for about five years and I was kind of getting to the point where I wanted to do something different. I loved the music that we did and I loved the guys that I was with, but I was 24 and just felt like I needed to go and try something different so I didn't get stuck where I was, you know, just doing the same thing. And, coincidentally, that's when Slipknot came and asked me to join. I'd never done anything like Slipknot up until then, so I was like, "Okay, we'll try this and we'll see what happens." And it worked out. ~ Corey Taylor

As much as I love Slipknot, I don't want that to carry over into what I do for Stone Sour. I want both bands to stand on their own. ~ Corey Taylor

I've never tried to be anything but me. Even with Slipknot, where it can almost feel like a roll sometimes, it's still a part of who I am. It's a very strong and passionate part of who I am, and I'm lucky enough to have an audience that is really open to what I do. ~ Corey Taylor

There's a certain darkness to Slipknot, but at the same time, there's a very strong dose of positivity. Stone Sour is the same way. There's a certain melancholy that comes with the slower stuff, but at the end of the day there's also that other side that is very positive. It's all how you deliver. ~ Corey Taylor

When I'm working on a Slipknot song, it's like a switch flips in my head. I can go there easily - it doesn't take a lot of soul searching - and it's a dark, almost sinister place. Stone Sour is more the way I've always written. It's a different tone. ~ Corey Taylor

Slipknot is the darkness; Stone Sour is the light. Slipknot is chaos; Stone Sour is structure. ~ Corey Taylor

Gently my mind escapes into the relaxing mode of pleasure.
A pleasure that will take my mind off the reality of life.
My past life.
Life as I know it know.
And whatever may come it slowly disappears to somewhere in the back of my mind.
It will remain there until I wish to retrieve it. ~ Slipknot

[And] we were never alive and we won't be born again ~ Slipknot

I like Jay-Z, 50 Cent and Common. But I like the underground stuff like Young Jeezy, Black Rob and Shine. I also love heavy metal like Slipknot and Pantera, It's very intense stuff. ~ Vanilla Ice

There was a soft chiming sound, which meant, tragedy of tragedies, the angel had just popped himself up onto the countertop. "So, what are we doing tonight? Wait, let me guess, sitting in morose silence. Or, no ... you're mixing it up. Brooding with soulful intensity, right? What a fucking wild child you are. Whoo. Hoo. Next thing you know, you'll be opening for Slipknot."
With a curse, Tohr stood up and went over to turn on the shower, hoping that if he refused to look at the loudmouth, Lassiter would get bored more quickly and move on to ruin someone else's afternoon. ~ J.R. Ward

You can not kill what you did not create. ~ Slipknot

So if you love me, let me go.
And run away before I know.
My heart is just too dark to care.
I can't destroy what isn't there.
Deliver me into my fate -
If I'm alone I cannot hate
I don't deserve to have you ...
My smile was taken long ago
If I can change I hope I never know ~ Slipknot

Slipknot sounds like Tre choking on a hairball. ~ Billie Joe Armstrong

You have to live HAVOC to understand havoc ~ Corey Taylor

Poetry is a slipknot tightened around a time-beat of one thought, two thoughts, and a last interweaving thought there is not yet a number for. ~ Carl Sandburg

I've felt the hate rise up in me ...
Kneel down and clear the stone of leaves ...
I wander out where you can't see ...
Inside my shell I wait and bleed ... ~ Slipknot
