And of course, as I am a typical Tayloron the one hand I am super proud of him, but I still can't get him to clean anythingDude, he's just such a nightmare.

“The funny thing is that we spoke the day after he was born. And I keep thinking back to that night and asking myself: 'What will become of him? Who will he be in life?' And now [21] Years later, and he's this crazy metal pirate, just like I was,” Corey continued. “And I just thought, 'Oh, I failed as a father. What have I done?' I kept trying to push him to anything different than what I do. And yeah, dude, he's awesome.

“I heard the new material he just recorded, with [producer] Chris Collierand it is So Good,” Corey added.”SOLDher new stuff is so awesome. Not only GrippingMan, but Simon'S [Crahan] The drumming sounds incredible. All the boys — Cole [Espeland] And Grod [Connor Grodzicki] sound great [on guitar]The guitars simply exceeded all expectations. JJ'S [Jeremiah Pugh] am awesome on bass. I am Really, Really proud of these guys, man. And then to see my boy go out there and just be himself and give it his all. It's so simply for him, and that just makes me angry. Because he has all the great stuff that I never had when I was… He can carry anything. That's just criminal. I'm just saying, 'You don't know how good you have it, kid. The carbs haven't got you yet.'”
