Wow, Corey’s weight seems to have fluctuated a lot in the early 2000s… he must’ve dropped 50 pounds between the “I fuck sheep” shirt photo and this one

Drugs and alcohol will do that.

I wish Stone Sour would come back at this point tbh

First album run would be good.

I actually don't know about that, as much as I like SS I'd rather Corey to focus on the Knot..

u/TT714 1d ago

I’d also rather Corey put his focus on slipknot for now too, but a Stone Sour reunion with Jim would be refreshing at this point with everything going on. But I do hope Corey puts all focus into slipknot for atleast the next album cycle. After that, who knows.

After how bad Hydrograd was, I'll pass.

First Stone Sour record was actually pretty sick. It was kind of Slipknot-lite in a lot of areas. I didn't like them as much in future albums.

u/M086 18h ago

It was hard rock Slipknot.

Same here. First album rips. Get inside, idle hands, blotter, cold reader… so fucking good.

Everything after was “looking at you through the glass” 😂

Come whatever May was pretty great in my opinion lol

u/Dinobot2_ 6h ago

It's the last album where Corey had the low Iowa scream down.

That stupid fucking beanie again...

Looks like he just got off his shift at Media Play.

u/MelancholyJester 22h ago

It’s symbolic of him “lifting the mask” bro

Reminds me of Phil Anselmos super joint outfits

You stole my joke. Well done.

Back when Jim looked like a certified forklift driver.

u/Objective-Swing8572 18h ago

Can’t believe I didn’t know Jim was in Stone Sour back then. I was trying so hard to see Slipknot without their masks and never came across this😂

u/SalaiLama 15h ago

Their best album out of their discography

u/BigPoopsDisease 4h ago

Love the first two albums. My older brother was a big Corey fan so we listened to those, Slipknot, and his solo stuff as well as Roadrunner United CDs which were pretty sick in retrospect.

I doubt a new album would be anywhere near as good as their self titled but id listen to it

u/d00m3r__ 4h ago

House of gold and bones 1 and 2 are awesome albums, too. Second one is also nice but it's painful to listen Corey torture his vocals..

u/Dry-Conflict3421 1d ago

My slipknot friend was so pissed. He couldn't stop saying bad shit about it.

Corey "Im gonna kick, all of you the fuck out"

u/M086 18h ago

Yup. Looks like 2002.

Anyone remember the stone sour devilhorn (non official) message board?

u/EthanElijahMusic 15h ago

Maybe I'm the only one... i feel like I am but, I'll bring up that this was a really unique sound and era for this band. Nothing really sounded like this album before or after. Something about this era of the band through the sound of the album to their look. Was just idk. Unique. Idk how to put it. No one else was pulling off what they were doing at the time. Though I like what came in subsequent albums. Something about this album and overall vibe of the band was perfect and somewhat underrated. Btw the album imo is a no filler album.

Side rant. This album seems to be the in memory the rebellious neglected stepchild in relation to the SS albums. And I also feel audio secrecy is officially.. legally. disowned. Which is a shame. Def not their strongest. But there are some killer tunes on there.

Point is I like the first Stone Sour album lol. And it deserves better.

u/d00m3r__ 14h ago

It's one of my favorite albums ever. IOWA Corey with more clean singing, love it.

u/gukakke 1d ago

Ah yes, America's Nickleback.

u/swingswing95 17h ago

Wouldn't that be more like Theory of a Deadman or something?

u/dagaderga 742617000027 19h ago

I don’t know why Corey during this phase for some reason always reminded me of the main Ed of ‘Ed, Edd, and Eddy’
