See Slipknot's Corey Taylor Tear Up Talking Fistfight, Reconciliation With Sid Wilson

Corey Taylor had an emotional moment while talking about his Slipknot bandmate Sid Wilson over the weekend. The 'Knot frontman was taking fan questions at the Monster-Mania Con in Philadelphia when an audience member asked him to talk about one of the biggest fights he ever had with a Slipknot bandmate. 

Taylor ended up going into great detail about a tense period he had with Wilson about six years ago — which resulted in a full-blown fistfight — and then he teared up onstage while talking about how the two of them resolved their differences and reignited their close bond. 

"Me and Sid [Wilson] got into a fistfight, and it's something that I'm not proud of," Taylor told the crowd. "It was during a tough, tough time. He and I were at such parallel ends — polarized and parallel ends — of the universe for no reason other than we were just in different spots in our life. But for some reason we were just banging heads hard. And it wasn't good, to the point where when he would come into the room, I would leave, and if I came into the room, he would leave.

"This was about six years ago, so it's... We're good now, just so everybody knows. But it came to a head in Sweden. And he and I were both on a tear. Luckily, we kept this away from the fans. We had just had a meet-and-greet at the time. And a fan had given me a comic book that I had been looking for for a long time.

"So I was looking at it, and really appreciating it, and Sid being Sid, [he] came up and not knowing what was going on, he probably thought he was just joking, but came up and he just smacked it right out of my hand hard. He just nailed it. And in any other context, it would have been funny, like, 'Oh, you dick,' you know. But everything was amplified and all of the things you haven't said come rushing to the front of your mind and it becomes an issue.

"And that turned into us turning on each other and going at each other hard to the point where the band had to pull us apart. He was saying he was gonna go home and leave the tour. I wasn't going to apologize. It was bad, man."

Then, Taylor opened up about how the two of them repaired their relationship, which is when the tears began to flow. 

 "When I had my spinal surgery," Taylor said while visibly trying not to cry, [Sid] was the first one to call me ... and he just said, he was, like, 'I'm so sorry,' and I said, 'I am so sorry.' And I said 'I love you.' He was, like, 'Are you okay?' And I was, like, 'I'm all right. It's all good.' And just like that, nothing mattered other than me and my brother," he concluded while wiping away his eyes.

"I'm really proud and I'm really glad that he and I could squash all that shit," Taylor added. "Because he's one of my favorite people in the world. Just the way he thinks, the way he creates, he's one of the best secret weapons that we have in Slipknot, because his musical mind is so creative. And plus, he schools us on every mask that he comes up with. I just look at him and go, 'You fucker! Goddamn it! Why did you think of that?'"
