Slipknot having masks is old news. Slipknot wearing a bowler on stage is way more importantly. Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor's wife Alicia Taylor shared a video of Corey bringing the heat live, in full band regalia, while wearing a very out-of-place bowler (or what looks like a bowler). Is it stupid? Sure. Is it a blast that Slipknot can take themselves seriously while also having a bit of a laugh? Absolutely.
And before you chime in with the age-old question of what Corey Taylor thinks, we'll tell you – he thinks your band needs more bowlers too.
In more serious news, Taylor has been in the studio recently without a hat recording his sophomore solo album. Taylor previously confirmed he'd be hitting the studio this winter in an interview with Eddie Trunk, adding he'll also be hitting the road for a "'rock is back' kind of tour for the solo stuff."
"We're gonna go in and bang it out and get it ready," Taylor said. "And then once I'm done touring with Slipknot, I'm gonna throw together a really rad, 'rock is back' kind of tour for the solo stuff and start bringing out some of the younger—maybe not even some of the younger rock bands, but just some of the bands that don't get the chance or just don't get the looks that are afforded to either pop bands and hip-hop bands or people like me who are kind of grandfathered in.
"So I'm gonna try and really kind of fly the rock flag and give some opportunities to some of the younger bands and maybe even just the mid-level bands that just haven't had a shot. 'Cause there's so many great bands out there."
