Slipknot's Corey Taylor Dresses As Father Christmas In 'X-M@S' Video

December 7, 2010
Slipknot's Corey Taylor Dresses As Father Christmas In 'X-M@S' VideoSlipknot frontman Corey Taylor has unveiled the video for his festive single, 'X-M@s'.

The video, which is available for streaming below now, depicts Taylor as Father Christmas.

The singer, who also performs with Stone Sour, revealed last week that he had written the song in his kitchen after listening to people “bitch” about Christmas.

“Personally, I love the holidays, but they seem to bring on severe stress in most people,” he said.

“So, I wrote this in honour of crotchety, drunken bastards who don't know the difference between a yuletide and a toolshed. Plus, I think it's funny.”

Proceeds from the song will help benefit the Teenage Cancer Trust. Fan of the singer have also launched a Facebook campaign to help the Taylor get to number one.

Meanwhile, Slipknot are set to return next year for a European tour, which includes a headlining appearance at the Sonisphere festival.
