Le mois dernier, lors de son apparition sur les ondes du programme Chaotic Radio de la RadioVegas.Rocks, le chanteur de Slipknot – Corey Taylor – a dévoilé une information légèrement surprenante. Il souhaiterait enregistrer un album de Dark Jazz, avec, entre autres, des reprises des chansons de Slipknot.
Le musicien explique qu’il compose tout le temps, et que les idées ou les chansons qui en résultent tombent dans différents styles. Il ne souhaite néanmoins pas s’aventurer sur le territoire du Country. Étant un fan de Jazz, il aimerait beaucoup plus enregistrer un album de Dark Jazz avec des reprises de Slipknot et Stone Sour. Il cite d’ailleurs les morceaux Prosthetics (Slipknot) et Bother (Stone Sour).
Nous, on aimerait bien une petite reprise de Sic, avec un solo de contrebasse.
No. Even coming from Iowa — fuck no! Absolutely not. And it’s not to say that I couldn’t write stuff like that. My interest would be more singer-songwriter kind of vibe, like Squeeze or something like that. Or — and I’ve actually been thinking about doing something like this — putting together a quartet or a quintet and doing a jazz album, like a dark jazz album, [and] recording it live in a room. It won’t sell shit. It would really just be for my own fucking personal collection… ‘Cause I love jazz. A lot of people don’t realize that — I listen to a lot of ’40s and ’50s jazz. And there is this… the haunting stuff that [Billie] Holiday would do, the older stuff that Charlie Parker would do, when he was really fucked up — that would be the stuff that I would be closer to. And I’ve got, actually, jazzy versions of some of my own songs that I would love to try. Probably something like Prosthetics, I think would be really, really cool. And then Bother — I’ve got a really cool jazzy version of Bother that could be really cool. – Corey Taylor
