He's the lead singer.

He prefers the nickname"Faith".

He's loud as shit onstage, but offstage he's very calm and down to earth.

He was in the band Stone Sour before Slipknot

"We aren't hiding behind these masks, we're actually revealing more to you than you might think. The mask I wear brings out all the shit inside me that I hate. Plus it hurts like hell, which helps my intensity."

"If you feel like talking, you talk, if you don't, you don't"

So many people are like, 'Gimmick, gimmick, gimmick!', Fuck you! You don't know what we're about! Our motto has always been, 'Music First.' Even if the masks and the coveralls weren't there, the music would still be good."

« Early Ages »
At a young age Corey liked to get down to the likes of "The King" - Elvis, thanks to influences from his grandmother. "Elvis was a great singer". His grandmother also helped him with buying equipment and his talent for music.

« Corey's "Ghost" Encounter »
During Corey's youth he and some friends often talked about a burnt out old house that they dared not go near. Then one night they all decided to make their way towards the house; to their surprise it was all lit up and after hearing noises they ran screaming.

« Old Bands »
Corey was previously in a band called "Stone Sour". He was also in Bloodfest and Dead Second. After Corey leaving Stone Sour for Slipknot the band ultimately finished. Jim Root also played in this band. Corey + Joel wrote most of the Stone Sour songs. They were like "Faith No More/AIC/Tool with a lot of other little elements thrown in." In the video clip "Get inside" from Stone Sour, you can see Croey and Jim without their masks.
