SLIPKNOT - TAYLOR'S PORN SHOP PAST

TAYLOR'S PORN SHOP PAST

SLIPKNOT frontman COREY TAYLOR has a seedy past - he once worked in the sex industry.
The rocker spent several years behind the counter in a porn shop in Iowa and insists it was his ideal job because he loved meeting the colourful characters who would browse the shelves.
He tells rock magazine NME, "I worked in a porn store for three and a half years in Des Moines and I had a blast. It's almost like a degree in sociology. For the most part, it was just regular people that came in, but there were plenty of weirdos that went through there.
"I remember one guy walking in one day completely wasted, wearing nothing but leather chaps. No shirt, no underwear, no shoes, just leather chaps. He looked like Billy Ray Cyrus from 1992, but with a moustache!
"I also had a few members of my family walk in while it was my shift - much to their chagrin. There were a few uncomfortable silences."
