Corey Taylor has revealed which Slipknot songs he personally thinks are the most over-rated and most under-rated in a new interview.The discussion took place in a new interview with Revolver, in which the Stone Sour and Slipknot frontman revealed his personal opinion on the latter’s extensive discography.Since joining the line-up in 1997, and the band now having seven studio albums under their belt, Taylor admitted, perhaps unsurprisingly, that there are some tracks that he doesn’t necessarily enjoy performing.In the interview, he recalled that the song from their discography that he finds most overrated is the hit track ‘Wait And Bleed’ – one of the many fan-favourites captured within their 1999 self-titled album.“I’m very much on the record saying that ‘Wait and Bleed’ is a pain in my fucking ass,” he began. “I’ve been singing it for 26 years and it hasn’t gotten easier, folks!“But I still sing it with Slipknot and with my solo project, which tells you how much of a psycho I am, because I know people love that song,” he added.

It’s one of the reasons why it tears families apart and went so undiagnosed for so many years – we never recognised the rainbow of symptoms and issues that come with it.”He continued, adding how the message behind ‘Post Traumatic Blues’ is in line with the non-profit organisation that he launched last year, which is dedicated to providing support for those battling with the condition.“The song is a reflection of what I’ve done with The Taylor Foundation, to try raise money and awareness for these people who have told me that my music has helped them get through tours of duty or get them through night shifts with the emergency services or law enforcement,” he recalled to NME.

As much as Iowa – when I was there – was a purple State it’s very red now and there’s a lot of people who I know who are not happy about it.”When Sang expressed surprise at people being disappointed in Slipknot hailing from Iowa, Taylor said: “Not if you come from there, not if you know the people.
