Corey Taylor says Stone Sour is still on hiatus, more than five years after the release of the band’s last full-length album. 

In a new interview, the singer explained, “Nothing’s changed.  I don’t know. The solo thing’s more where my heart is, to be honest.”

He went on to say, “To me, I’ve done the time doing stuff in a band situation. And the reason I stick with Slipknot is because that, to me, is the one that kind of started everything. But Stone Sour? So much drama and issues.  To me, it’s just not something I desire to do. And songs in Stone Sour that I want to play are the ones that I wrote in the first place. So to me, I would rather go out with a group of dudes who I’ve known forever and have a great time playing these songs and have the audience enjoy it because they see a bunch of dudes up there enjoying it than try to force issues on an audience that nobody really wants to be a part of, let’s put it that way.”
