“It just took that many people to get the noise out of our head.”

That was the response ofSlipknotfront-manCorey Taylorwhen asked by Fight Network in a recent interview during the bands recent run of shows in Canada.

For any band 9 members is pretty huge but forTaylorits justified. He revealed that previously the band had not been able to fully express their musicality.

“Cause when I joined, it was only eight. And once we kind of got to the point where we were just missing that one thing, we were able to kind of really realize everything that we wanted to do, musically.”

Taylor goes on to say that its an integral part in the band'sability to deliver an incredible live performance.

“We’re one of those bands that we strive so hard to be able to project everything that we do on the album live, and it just took that many members to make that a reality.”

I don’t think we need any more justification than that Corey. You could have 90 members and we’d still ask for more!
