Stone Sour’s Corey Taylor Writing Comic Book Series for Album ‘House of Gold & Bones’

Dark Horse Comics As an extension of Stone Sour ‘s double album ‘House of Gold & Bones,’ vocalist Corey Taylor is creating a comic book. A four-issue miniseries will be written by Taylor and published by Dark Horse Comics to accompany the two-part Stone Sour album. Set to drop on Oct. 23, ‘House of Gold & Bones – Part 1,’ Stone Sour’s fourth full-length album is one of the most anticipated releases of 2012. The second part of ‘House of Gold and Bones’ does not have an official release date as of this posting, but we know that Corey Taylor, who also provides vocals for Slipknot , will be appearing at New York’s Comic Con this week (Oct. 11-14), according to Roadrunner Records . Corey Taylor recently spoke about his passion that led to his animated endeavor. “It’s something I’ve always wanted to do,” says Taylor. “I’ve always been very critical of when comics go south and basically pull the fan out of what the potential is. It’s me pretty much putting my money where my mouth is.” He continues, “Especially in (the music) industry, you’re encouraged to not only appear to be as youthful and arrogant as possible, but you’re encouraged to make your own terrible decisions and have this kind of abhorrent behavior. People think that it sells. I figured out a long time ago that that’s so boring and so clichéd. To me, it was about shuffling that off and figuring out who do I want to be? Who do I want to try to be? Who do I want to aspire to be?” Get ready for Stone Sour’s ‘House of Gold & Bones,’ which will drop on Oct. 22.

Rock Star Cameos on ‘The Simpsons’

Fox Having just begun its 24th season and with more than 500 episodes having aired, ‘The Simpsons’ is one of the most iconic TV shows in history. An incredible amount of celebrities and public figures have been animated by the cartoonists of the show, and we’ve compiled some of our all-time favorite appearances from rock musicians. ‘The Simpsons’ debuted in 1987 as television shorts on ‘The Tracy Allman Show’, and due to its popularity, the animated family got their own sitcom in 1989. Boasting the distinction of being America’s longest-running sitcom and animated program, ‘The Simpsons’ deserve to be celebrated for the years of entertainment the show has brought millions of viewers.
