The Vinyl Frontier: A Corey Taylor Solo Album – Meltdown
There’s isn’t much that Corey Taylor does that I don’t like….this is no different.
CMFT came out in the midst of the pandemic. There wasn’t much new music being released, as a lot of artists choose to keep their new tunes under wraps. Not Corey. I love this record. It leans a little more towards Stone Sour than Slipknot, but it does have some hard rockin’ moments.

5 Corey Taylor Quotes to Live By
Corey Taylor is one of the most prominent figures in rock today and for good reason: He always has something interesting to say, and it seems like that trait isn’t something that’s waning with age.
One of the funniest things Taylor said in 2023 was his rant against a certain Beatles song. That song? The 1967 stand-alone single “All You Need Is Love.” In fact, his hatred led to him writing “All I Want Is Hate” for his second solo album CMF2.
In an August appearance on the Zach Sang Show, Taylor said, “‘All You Need Is Love’ is one of the biggest pieces of sh-t that I’ve ever heard in my life. And every time I hear it, I feel like I’m getting shot at.”
Taylor’s forthcomingness is truly part of his charm and what makes him so appealing. This year marks his 50th birthday. While some might shy away from the subject of such a milestone birthday, Taylor doesn’t. Speaking with WRIF’s Meltdown back in May, Taylor said about turning 50, “I think about it constantly. I think about it when I get up out of bed. I think about it when I step on stage, and I break my back. I’m like, ‘What am I doing?!'”
He continued, referencing his solo shows, “But, then I have to remember: I’m a mental person, so this is all I want to do. Obviously, it’s a different kind of set I used to do when I was younger, when I was a kid. At the same time, I still love to play. I still love performing, and I love to get out there and try to do it as hard as I can. Until I break my neck again, I think I’ll just keep going.”
Obviously, Taylor is no stranger to the interview pull quote. After all, he is also an accomplished author. In honor of Taylor’s birthday today (December 8), here are five quotes from his books everyone should live by.
Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history.
Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
