10 Greatest Corey Taylor Vocal Performances

10. Love Gun - Burbank Chronicles

Ever since their first record in the early '00s, Stone Sour has always served as the mellow alternative to Slipknot. For as much shrieking as Corey is able to do amongst his masked friends, this outfit shows him taking on a straight-up hard rock frontman role with impressive chops. There are plenty of Stone Sour originals that stand out, but there's something to be said about their trips to Burbank.

Released in the early 2010's, the Burbank Chronicles were a little collection of cover EPs that pay tribute to the band's roots. Even though Corey holds his own on songs by Metallica and Alice in Chains, all bets were off when he took on "Love Gun." Though KISS were never known to be a powerhouse band, this song is a showcase for a vocalist, with Taylor reaching into his higher register to pull off the sleazy rock and roll that Paul Stanley did night after night.

Granted, this version doesn't necessarily compare to the original, but the amount of love and care Taylor put into this one shows that he knows the power behind these classic tunes. It's certainly not a feat in songwriting, but there's no doubt that Stanley himself would have been proud to hear such a faithful rendition of his tune.
