Saturday, January 29th, 2011

Did Corey Taylor just hint at his involvement with Velvet Revolver?
When Billboard asked whether he had any involvement with Slash, Duff and the rest of VR, his response was a long laugh followed by the words, "To be continued!" Well that certainly doesn't sound a like a denial. So could Taylor, frontman of Slipknot and Stone Sour, be the one… Read More

The tour kicks off on March 24th in Chicago, IL and comes to a close on May 1st in Uncasville, CT. Tickets go on sale… Read More
