Read this: Corey Taylor: “It’s fine that genre is dead, but rock is still fucking awesome”
Mourning the loss of Lemmy in a beautiful tribute for The Guardian in 2015, Corey told his favourite story of the late Motörhead frontman, which happened at the Gibson Guitars Germany offices: "We were both Gibson artists, and were there to check out some new gear, do some press, sign some shit," he said. "We saw each other, gave each other a quick hug/shoulder slap, and immediately went looking for a place where we could smoke. We found ourselves standing in a 'kitchen' with all the windows open, chain smoking, bullshitting and laughing like crazy. I felt like we were cutting class and hanging out somewhere in the high school."
Corey continued: "It was then that Lemmy proceeded to tell me the most hardcore joke I’d ever heard. I can’t tell it here because it’d never get published, but it involved a grandmother and an elbow. I laughed so damn hard I thought my pancreas was going to rupture. Once I caught my breath, I had a sense of where I was: hiding in a tiny room, smoking cigarettes, telling dirty jokes and hanging out with my friend, who just happened to be a man I’d been listening to most of my life. I’d be lying if I said I didn’t have a little fanboy moment."
