Podcast on Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-rock-n-roll-true-stories-podcast/id1876614383 My second YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@RockNRollTrueStories2 Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor once came this close to fronting a legendary thrash metal band, recording a full album with them, and changing metal history forever. In this video, we dive into the insane true story of how a label threat and potential lawsuit forced Corey Taylor to walk away from his dream band project just as it was about to happen. Back in the late 2000s, Anthrax were stuck in vocalist limbo and struggling to finish what would become their comeback album Worship Music. They’d already gone through lineup changes, singer drama, and a nearly completed record with Dan Nelson that got shelved amid legal disputes and a defamation lawsuit. Enter Corey Taylor: a lifelong thrash fan, a metal icon fronting Slipknot and Stone Sour, and someone who genuinely wanted to join forces with one of the Big Four of thrash. We’ll break down how Corey Taylor got involved with the songs that became Worship Music, how he started writing vocal ideas and lyrics, and how the band began planning a full record and tour with Corey at the mic. Then we’ll look at the heartbreaking moment when the label stepped in, threatened legal action, and made it clear that if Corey went ahead and recorded the album, there could be financial and contractual consequences for Slipknot. Faced with a lawsuit threat and massive pressure, Corey Taylor had no choice but to give up the project, leaving fans with one of the biggest “what if” stories in modern metal. This video covers: Corey Taylor’s near‑miss with fronting a classic thrash band The chaotic making of Worship Music Anthrax’s singer problems with Dan Nelson and John Bush How label politics and lawsuit threats killed Corey’s dream band moment Why Joey Belladonna’s return ultimately saved the album and the band If you love thrash metal history, Slipknot, Stone Sour, Anthrax, or stories about band feuds, lineup changes, and music industry drama, this deep dive is for you. We’ll connect all the dots between the Big Four era, the Sonisphere “Big Four” festival, the internal chaos in Anthrax, and Corey Taylor’s passion for classic thrash. Along the way, we’ll look at how much of Corey’s musical input still echoes through Worship Music, even though his voice never appears on the final record.
