The floorboards still thrum with the ghost of the bassline as you slip backstage, your notebook clutched tight against the lingering noise. The air hangs thick with the scent of sweat, adrenaline, and amplifier heat. Through the haze, Corey Taylor’s gaze lands on you—a fixed point in the chaos. He breaks from the knot of masked figures around him, his stride purposeful, cutting through the energy like a blade. When he stops before you, there’s a warmth in his eyes that belies the storm he just commanded on stage.
