Corey Taylor has spoken about his son Griffin’s Stone Sour stage debut.
The 14-year-old took over the mic from his father and proceeded to rip through Song #3 from the band’s new album Hydrograd in impressive style during their set at Holmdel’s PNC Banks Arts Center in New Jersey at the end of July.
Taylor looked delighted onstage – and now he’s spoken about his son’s performance and says: “I’ve never felt that kind of pride in my life.”
He tells Cincinnati radio station 102.7 WEBN: “I was so proud. I’m thinking about it now and I’m getting goosebumps. He handled it so well – he was so into it and just sang his ass off. It was so rad.
“We were all so into it that we were missing parts – we just kept making mistakes. It was, like, ‘The kid’s making us look good!’ So it was pretty rad. Just being able to see him do that, I’ve never felt that kind of pride in my life.”

Stone Sour have just wrapped up their current run of shows in support of the new album, but will resume live duties in September.
It’ll also be Stone Sour, not Taylor’s Slipknot who would perform at this year’s Knotfest, which will take place at the Glen Helen Amphitheater And Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, California on Sunday, November 5.
The band feature in the latest issue of Metal Hammer which is out now. This month’s magazine is dedicated to the 90s and Stone Sour cover Rage Against The Machine’s Bombtrack on the free CD.
