Maskless Corey Taylor performs Slipknot's Wait And Bleed at solo show for first time

After sharing an old throwback photo with Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, Corey Taylor has now paid tribute to his late Slipknot bandmates with his first-ever unmasked solo cover of Wait And Bleed.

The frontman and his CMFT bandmates unleashed the maskless rendition for the first time at North Dakota's Fargo Brewing Company on August 12, mid-set between covers of Slipknot's All Hope Is Gone ballad Snuff, and Stone Sour's huge single Made Of Scars.
