Opinião do guitarrista de Trivium acerca de Slipknot

Spiritech: How's the Slipknot tour been going?
Corey Beaulieu: Ah, that was amazing, that was one of the best tours out of any tour we've done, but it was definitely the best tour we've ever done in the States and the biggest. Their crowds were really killer and they were really open and receptive to us. So it did us a lot of good and we got to play in front of a lot of people who'd never heard of us before. It was a really killer tour, so we were stoked that they asked us to be on it. So it'll be fun to play a couple more shows with them up in Canada.


Spiritech: Is that kind of the point where you guys are at now, that you've established a high profile of your own and draw strong crowds to your headlining shows, so you need to look further afield and play with bands like that with fans who may not know about you?
Corey Beaulieu: Yeah, I mean Slipknot is definitely a heavy band and they have a lot of heavy fans and stuff, but especially in America they're a really big radio rock band, they sell a lot of records and reach a lot of people who hear about them on the radio but don't necessarily know much about bands like us who aren't played on mainstream radio all the time. So they'll come out to a show, they're into the heavy stuff and they hear us... They come to the show for Slipknot and they get turned on to a new band who that they would otherwise have probably never heard before. So it's been good for us, we've had a lot of people that would be fans but haven't had a chance to hear us yet. It was a really good way to bridge the gap of potential fans that don't have, or haven't had the ability to hear our music. It was a great tour, so we couldn't have asked for anything better! (laughs)
