Fan-filmed video footage of SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor performing a cover version of David Bowie's "Moonage Daydream" on Sunday, May 19 at Gardenamp in Garden Grove, California can be seen below. Taylor's solo set also includes covers of such artists as GUNS N' ROSES and VAN HALEN. In addition to working on SLIPKNOT's new album, Taylor has kept busy in recent months guesting on tracks by FALLING IN REVERSE and U.K. rapper Kid Bookie.

"I mean, real Midwestern rock. Real, just open chords, good time rock, you know. And damn the critics, basically. That's the stuff I write and that's the stuff I've always tried to write."
