Slipknot is the darkness; Stone Sour is the light. Slipknot is chaos; Stone Sour is structure.
I will always make music with Stone Sour. Stone Sour will always be here.
As much as I love Slipknot, I don't want that to carry over into what I do for Stone Sour. I want both bands to stand on their own.
But I always kind of knew in the back of my head that I could come back and do Stone Sour.
