During an interview with U.K.'s Kerrang! Magazine, Corey Taylor said that he will be taking the COVID-19 vaccine as soon as it is available. He explained, “As soon as it's ready, I'm taking one, and I don't care what anybody says: I don't wear tin foil hats, and I certainly didn't vote for Trump, so I'm going to get a vaccine for this damn thing.”
On how he's dealt with the pandemic, he said, “It's crazy. I was just saying this a couple of days ago: I never thought in a million years I would miss the curmudgeons in SLIPKNOT and being on the road with those growly pricks. Laughs But, man, it seems like a million years ago that we played those shows in Europe earlier this year. I can't even remember that tour, that's how long ago it was. I long for that, and I can't wait to get back on the road with SLIPKNOT and finish off that tour cycle when the time comes.”
He continued, “I mean, it was weird… this is the longest I've been off the road for 20 years, and when it first started, I was like, 'Okay, it'll be six months at the most…' But when it finally got into, 'Okay, we're getting into 2021 now and we're not really sure what's going on,' it was daunting.”
