Corey Taylor kicked off his solo headlining tour last night (May 2nd) in Reading, Pennsylvania, and the crowd was treated to several standout moments. The singer and his backing band played a career-spanning setlist that included Slipknot classics, Stone Sour standouts and several songs from his solo catalog, including the debut of two unreleased tracks!
The songs, titled "We Are the Rest" and "Beyond," are from Taylor's upcoming sophomore album, CMFT2, the follow-up to 2020's CMFT that's due out sometime later this year. Neither track has been released as a single yet, but as Blabbermouth notes, "Beyond" was originally performed in 2009 by his Junk Beer Kidnap Band, and has been re-worked for the forthcoming solo record.
Elsewhere in the setlist, Taylor played four Slipknot songs — "Before I Forget," "Snuff," "Duality" and "Wait and Bleed" — as well as five Stone Sour tracks and a couple other covers, including Motörhead's "Ace of Spades."
