Early life

By the time he was 15, he had "already lived in 25 states".<ref name="revolvermag" >{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> Around 1979, Taylor and his mother saw the sci-fi series Buck Rogers in the 25th Century. Before the series, there was a trailer for the 1978 horror film Halloween. Taylor said this "developed some sense of Slipknot in [himself]".<ref name="Arnopp26"/> While Halloween introduced Taylor to masks and horror themes, Taylor's grandmother introduced him to rock music, showing him a collection of Elvis Presley records from the 1950s to 1970s. He especially found songs like "Teddy Bear", "In the Ghetto", and "Suspicious Minds" to appeal to his interests the most, describing them as "good times".<ref name="Arnopp26"/> Taylor also began listening to Black Sabbath at a young age, beginning with their early work.<ref name="Arnopp26"/> He decided he wanted to become a singer when he and his cousin were singing along to Journey's "Separate Ways".<ref name="auto">Template:Cite news</ref>

In 1983, when he was nine years old, his mother and her boyfriend moved to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to become security guards for Burt Reynolds' ranch. However, as they were driving there, they got stranded in Georgia and he lost some of his possessions.<ref name="revolvermag" /> By age 15, he had developed a drug addiction and had overdosed on cocaine twice.<ref name="Arnopp27">Template:Harvnb</ref><ref name="Arnopp25">Template:Harvnb</ref> By this time, he was living in Waterloo, but some time after this overdose, he returned to visit his grandmother in Des Moines, and according to Taylor, "stayed and never went back [to his mother's house]." She took legal custody of him so that he could continue going to school, and she helped him buy musical equipment. He would later describe his grandmother as his "strongest influence" as well as his "rock, foundation and stability."<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref><ref name="ForF" /><ref name="Arnopp28">Template:Harvnb</ref> When Taylor was 18, he left his grandmother's house and went to various places in Iowa, Des Moines being a place to which he frequently returned.<ref>Template:Harvnb</ref> Taylor attended Lincoln High School in Des Moines but did not graduate.

In 2017, on an episode of Viceland's The Therapist, Taylor revealed that he was sexually abused at the age of 10 by a 16-year-old friend. Taylor stated that he never told anyone about the incident until he was "probably 18" because his abuser had "...threatened to hurt me and threatened to hurt my mom".<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> At age 17, when Taylor was living with his grandmother, he attempted suicide by way of overdose. His ex-girlfriend's mother drove him to the hospital in Des Moines and doctors were able to resuscitate him.<ref name="ForF" /> He describes this as the lowest point in his life.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

In Des Moines, Iowa, Joey Jordison, Shawn Crahan, and Mick Thomson approached him asking him to join Slipknot.<ref name="Arnopp71">Template:Harvnb</ref> He agreed to go to one of their practices, and ended up singing in front of them. Of Slipknot's nine members, Corey was the sixth to join the band. Performing with Slipknot, he would also come to be known as "Number Eight", since the band follows a numbering scheme for its members, ranging from 0–8. According to Shawn Crahan, Corey wanted number eight, because it symbolizes infinity.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

Taylor told Loudwire in 2015 that if it were not for Faith No More, he "wouldn't be here today". While recovering from an attempted suicide, he saw the band perform "Epic" live on the 1990 MTV Video Music Awards and the performance inspired him to begin writing and performing music again.<ref name="ForF" /> He has also stated that Pearl Jam had hugely influenced and inspired his music, saying that the group was "one of the biggest and best rock bands of all time".<ref name="Legacy makes legacy">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>

The first two Slipknot albums with Taylor's vocals, Slipknot and Iowa, both contain substantial explicit content. Many critics claimed Taylor relied on profanity, culminating in Slipknot's third album, Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) largely lacking the use of swearing, as such did not warrant the explicit label.<ref name="Mick Interview"/> Compared with the previous vocalist for Slipknot, Anders Colsefni, Taylor has a vocal style that was characterized by the late, ex-drummer Joey Jordison as "really good melodic singing".<ref name="Arnopp73">Template:Harvnb</ref> Taylor's vocal style, which contains at times melodic singing, growling, screaming, shouting, and rapping, led him to place at number 86 on the Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time and is often compared to other vocalists such as Ivan Moody, John Bush, Phil Anselmo, and Jamey Jasta.<ref name="hearya">(2006-12-04) Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time Template:Webarchive Hearya.
