Band history

Early Days

Stone Sour was originally formed in 1992 by Corey Taylor and drummer Joel Ekman. Taylor's long time friend, Shawn Economaki, joined shortly after, and filled in as the bass player. The band had played clubs and bars with various different guitarists - often filling the position for just one show. This time, Stone Sour recorded 2 demo tapes, in 1992 and 1994. Shortly after in 1995, James Root - who is now also part of SlipKnoT with Taylor - joined the band. The group was complete, and in 1996 recorded another demo tape, and songs from which would later be used in 2002 on their self titled debut album, Stone Sour. The band was named after an alcoholic drink that consists of one part whiskey, one part orange juice, with a splash of sour mix.

In 1997 the band went on hiatus when Taylor and Root spent most of their time with SlipKnoT, who were another up-and-coming act in Des Moines at the time who were to soon earn a record deal. Root also joined the band a year later, and Economaki went on to become their stage manager. Ekman stayed in Des Moines, and formed a family.

Revival

In 2000, Josh Rand approached Taylor with songs he had been working on. While SlipKnoT was touring, the two worked together for a year and a half writing, when they realized that the songs they were creating were sufficiently good to record. In 2000 Stone Sour produced a demo tape and later that year the group recorded an album under the name SuperEgo called "Click Here to Exit" which was never released. It was, however, sufficient to earn them a record contract with RoadRunner. During this time, the band had numerous name changes, including ProjectX and Closure, before deciding that since the members were the same, and they were producing music that was true to their original style, there was only one real option--Stone Sour.
