Stone Sour
Once known primarily as a
Slipknot
side project
(technically inaccurate, as this band's history predates Slipknot's
by several years),
Stone Sour has forged its own identity as a standout alternative
metal band.
Their history dates back to 1992, founded by Corey Taylor and Joel Ekman.
After several years of building up a local following in the
Midwest, they essentially broke up in 1997, with the trio of Taylor,
James Root, and Shawn Economaki joining Slipknot (the latter as a manager),
It wasn't until 2000 that guitarist Josh Rand approached the others
and they formally reunited, releasing their debut in 2002.
Bolstered by the
Spider-Man soundtrack hit "Bother", the album placed
the band squarely on the alt metal map, though without question
the Slipknot connection aided them exposure-wise.
Only Taylor and Rand remain from the early days, with Taylor doing
double duty here and with the 'Knot.
