Slipknot's Corey Taylor guests on country/hip-hop duo Moonshine Bandits' new single Live The Madness, with his wife Alicia also starring in the video.
Corey and Alicia Taylor have made a guest appearance in country/hip-hop duo Moonshine Bandits' new single and video, Live The Madness.
The Slipknot frontman brings his rapping back in the track, while Alicia and her rock'n'roll dance troupe Cherry Bombs – who have also appeared in the likes of CMFT Must Be Stopped – perform in the video.
"We emailed the song over to Alicia and we told her that CT would be the perfect feature to have on this song," explain Moonshine Bandits. "She showed it to Corey, and he loved it. Corey asked us, ‘What version of Corey do you want on the song – i.e. Stone Sour, acoustic Corey, metal Corey, rap Corey?’ We responded that we wanted all the versions of Corey mixed into one. He crushed it!"

They add of how Live The Madness as a song came about: "The concept behind Live The Madness is to live your life full throttle. Always be willing to take that risk and challenge yourself. Celebrate life to its fullest extent. We wanted this song to have an energy that encourages people that it’s okay to go out and raise a little hell."
