Slipknot / Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has shared video of his live performance of "Home" from his solo album CMFT and "Zzyzx Rd." from Stone Sour's second album, Come What(ever) May, shot during last year's epic Forum Or Against ‘Em livestream event. The medley is taken from Taylor's solo EP of covers and acoustic recordings, titled CMFB…Sides, which will be released on February 25 via Roadrunner Records.
Adding another layer to his critically acclaimed solo catalogue, Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter, actor, and New York Times Best-Selling Author, Corey Taylor has revealed the details for his new EP, CMFB…Sides, arriving February 25 via Roadrunner Records. It's available to pre-order/pre-save on all streaming platforms, here. To herald its release, a lyric video for the first single, a cover of John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band’s "On The Dark Side" can be seen below.
CMFB…Sides comprises nine unreleased B-sides, covers of tunes that inspired the band, acoustic renditions, and live versions. Taylor preserves the windows-down and arena-ready spirit of "On The Dark Side", made famous by John Cafferty & The Beaver Brown Band in the 1983 film, Eddie and the Cruisers, and strips the 1981 classic, "Lunatic Fringe" by Red Rider down to a striking acoustic number. He and his cohorts hypercharge "Got To Choose" by KISS and lock into a punchy punk gallop during Deady Boys' "All This And More". Initially recorded for The Metallica Blacklist, the EP also features Taylor’s snarling cover of "Holier Than Thou" from Metallica's classic, The Black Album. Perhaps most surprisingly, they also transform Eddie Money’s "Shakin’" into a roaring banger with all of the original’s swagger intact. The EP also boasts acoustic takes on "Kansas" and "Halfway Down" from Taylor’s 2020 full-length debut, CMFT, and a powerhouse live medley of "Home" and Stone Sour’s famous Come What(ever) May finale "Zzyxz Rd".
