In a new interview with Metal Hammer, Corey Taylor talked about Slipknot possibly continuing without him one day.

The singer said:

“I mean, it’s crossed my mind as the years have gone on. It’s gotten harder to do this. You think about when the end is. No one thought we’d be doing it 20 years later.

“If I just couldn’t do it anymore, I’d just stop, but that doesn’t mean the band would stop. If I can’t do it then someone might be able to take my place. I’ve thought about it before – if the right person came around and the guys were into it then I’ll just head off. We can’t shortchange anyone.

“Everything we went through, the tragedy and the drama, and we kept the band’s spirit alive. We never watered anything down, we never tried to do anything that didn’t feel right. That’s the whole point of Slipknot: to do whatever you want but to do it at 100 mph.”
