Attention Deficit Delirium's Bryan Reesman has issued a new interview with STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor (SLIPKNOT). The following is an excerpt from the interview:

Q: Can you tell us about staying in a haunted house in Nashville while recording the new Stone Sour album with floods raging by?

A: "Oh my God, dude, there were so many weird things going on in that house. You’d walk into the kitchen, put something down on the countertop, turn around and all of a sudden you hear this crazy noise. You turn around and the fucking thing’s just flown across the room. It was gnarly, man. The room that Josh was staying in was probably the most weird. He had so many weird things going on in his room that he was eventually like, 'Okay, I’ve got the population of Juarez, Mexico living in my room, and I’m really trying to figure out how to make contact.' It was very weird but a great experience. For all of us to be able to stay in one house and practice anytime we want or record great demos together — all of us really working towards a fantastic album — was awesome. Recording at Blackbird, we had unlimited access to so much gear that I couldn’t even start to tell you what the hell it was.

The floods kind of came out of nowhere. I was actually back in Des Moines hanging with the kids when the floods hit, so me and my wife were flying back to Nashville — 'What the fuck are you talking about? It’s flooded?' It was incredible, man. There was water halfway up the doorway going into people’s houses. I saw people in boats trying to get into their own houses. It was insane. Luckily it kind of flooded around where we were living, so we weren’t touched at the house, and it didn’t get near the studio. We lucked out with that, but a lot of people didn’t, so I immediately started trying to get the word out that people were looking for help. An organization called National Flood Relief was doing a lot of work with the Gibson Foundation because the Gibson factories down there got decimated. The Grand Ole Opry got decimated. All of these wonderful organizations just came together to really try to help the people of Nashville. I tried to do my part to get the word out to people. It’s slowly but surely getting better."
