In a recent interview, Cory Taylor was asked to name his favorite Slipknot song and he noted his favorite by far is “Scissors.” He said, “I love it because every time we would play it, the whole second half was improvised. We played at each other, free form, free prose, everything. It was violent and gorgeous.”
And he doesn’t expect his opinion to change. He said, “According to Taylor, that will always be his favorite. He said, “Nothing will ever replace it for me- when we stopped playing it live, I had a hard time enjoying our sets for a very long time.”
“Scissors” is from Slipknot’s 1999 self-titled album.
