The band name was from the cocktail which is one part whiskey and a splash of orange juice and sour mix. Taylor's long time friend, Shawn Economaki, joined shortly after filling in as the bass player. In 1995, James Root joined the band. The band disbanded when Taylor left in 1997 to join Slipknot. Root also joined Slipknot one year later. Economaki went on to be the stage manager for Slipknot and Ekman formed a family. The band was thought to be over. But, in 2000, Josh Rand approached Taylor with songs he had been working on. Then, they worked together for a year and a half writing songs. The band reformed in 2002 with the original line up and they recorded their self-titled first album in Cedar Falls, Iowa. Slipknot DJ Sid Wilson appears as a guest for the album to add some disc scratching. Also, the band released the song "Bother" for the Spider Man soundtrack (credited only to Taylor) while recording the album. The band went back into the studio in January of 2006 to begin work on the follow-up to the first record, which will hit shelves on July 31st in the UK and August 1st in the US . The title of the record is "Come What(ever) May", and will include 12 new tracks. According to a report in Rock Review, there will be a track where Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed collaborates with the band. Unfortunately, 2 weeks into the recording of the drum tracks, Joel had to leave the project due to his son being very ill. It was decided by the band that Roy Mayorga would finish the drum tracks. As of March 25th, Joel Ekman is officially no longer Stone Sour's drummer. On May 10th, they announced that Mayorga is the new official drummer for the band. Stone Sour finished recording 16 tracks for their upcoming album, "Come What(ever) May", on April 4th. Mixing began on April 10, handled by Randy Staub (Metallica, Hatebreed).

mikey1000 Idiot Age: - Gender: - Posts: 728	July 27th, 2006 at 09:44am I was really really amazed when i heard bother the first time. I tmade me a fan instantly. Then i listened to the rest of the stuff and it rocked too. Weird it's the same way i got into slipknot, i heard a slower song and then checked out the rest. Yay

Yeah, I know, I've always thought of it in a similar way, but, technically, even though Stone Sour was around before Slipknot, they like, ended Stone Sour when Corey first joined Slipknot, and only started it up again when Corey called around, and was all "Hey, lets start the band up again, yo". Or something like that. Except I may be wrong. Correct me if so.
mikey1000 Idiot Age: - Gender: - Posts: 728	July 28th, 2006 at 08:50am Yes in fact you're correct but it's still a side project since when corey left Stone sour they kinda dropped out of the spotlight. When they took a break from slipknot he had time to approach it again...so it IS a side project, it doesnt matter it's older than slipknot.
