Corey Taylor (Slipknot) on Mental Illness, Speaking Out, Survival and Sobriety
Iconic Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor talks about how being open with the fans about his struggles with mental illness changed the way he handled the issue with his loved ones, shares what he thinks is missing from the discussion around bipolar disorder, explores the connection between his state of mind and his lyrics, and explains what happened when he started writing for Volume Three. He also reflects on surviving some of his darkest days in the first episode of this new podcast, “Occupy The Void with Xtina and Tim.“ This interview was filmed in December 2023 backstage at Good Things Festival in Sydney, Australia.
