TWO AND A half hours before Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor takes to the stage for his third ever solo show in London, a few hundred revellers crowd the streets outside London’s Palladium theatre, gawping at the larger-than-life visage of the man himself leering down at them. It’s difficult to imagine Slipknot playing a venue as exuberantly grandiose as this one, and yet, judging by the number of people wearing their t-shirts this evening, it is Slipknot that has brought Taylor here. Toto, we have a feeling we’re not huffing dead crows in jars anymore.
