Corey Taylor Delivers a Stripped-Down, High-Impact Set in Nashville
Marathon Music Works — Nashville, TN | May 29, 2021
Corey Taylor delivered a focused and unexpectedly intimate performance at Marathon Music Works on May 29, 2021, showcasing a different side of his well-known intensity. Backed by a tight band, Taylor balanced aggression with melody, allowing songwriting and storytelling to take center stage rather than leaning solely on volume.
Fan favorites drove the strongest reactions, with standout moments during “Snuff,” “Black Eyes Blue,” “Halfway Down,” and a powerful rendition of “CMFT Must Be Stopped.” Taylor’s vocals shifted seamlessly from vulnerable restraint to full-throated force, reinforcing his versatility as a frontman outside of his work with Slipknot and Stone Sour. The band kept arrangements clean and dynamic, giving each song room to breathe while maintaining momentum.
Additional selections included HWY 666, Samantha’s Gone, Culture Head, and Silverfish, rounding out a set that blended solo material with select nods to Taylor’s broader catalog.
The Nashville stop highlighted Corey Taylor’s range as a live performer—confident, adaptable, and fully capable of commanding a stage on his own terms.
