Corey Taylor and his band put on a "special show" on August 16 which saw the group sport Kiss corpse paint during their performance.
The Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman incorporated the look into the show, located at the Gillioz Theatre in Springfield, Missouri, to make up for special guests Cherry Bombs – led by his wife Alicia Taylor – cancelling their appearance for reasons not yet made clear.
The evening additionally saw Corey Taylor performing an impromptu acoustic cover of the Nine Inch Nails track Something I Can Never Have, to give the audience "a little extra".
Taking to Twitter to document the show, Taylor posted an image of the Kiss-inspired look with the caption "Last night we had to pull off a special show in Springfield, MO, because our @cherrybombsrock couldn't perform. If you have a ticket stub, digital copy or printed ticket from last night, it gets you into tonight's show for free. So come see us all get crazy! Take care out there!"
