So sad: slipknot member officially announce his divorce

single to be highlighted from the already-released The Morrison Project. For this particular track, Morrison is joined by both the Slipknot vocalist and the electric guitar virtuoso.

Perhaps unknowingly, when Morrison put his two collaborators on a track together he was actually helping Taylor realize a long-held dream to work with Vai, who he’s been a fan of since he was a teenager.

“Billy and I have known each other for so many years and we’ve done many performances together, it was only a matter of time before we put together something original and fascinating,” Taylor explains.

“Alternatively, I’ve been a Steve Vai fan since I was 15, and never thought I’d ever get the chance to do something amazing with him. I’m so stoked to be a part of this album with so many great artists and I can’t wait to see what happens next.”

It’s certainly a pairing that wasn’t on our bingo card for 2024, and while it’s not quite the same as having a Slipknot track supercharged with some virtuosic Vai shredding, it’s perhaps the closest we’ll get to the real thing.
