Stone Sour was founded by Corey Taylor, who later became the vocalist of Slipknot , and former drummer Joel Ekman. The band’s name comes from a cocktail menu at a local bar. Taylor’s longtime friend Shawn Economaki joined shortly after, and filled in as the bass player. During this time, Stone Sour recorded two demo tapes, in 1993 and 1994. In 1995, Jim Root, who is now part of Slipknot with Taylor, joined the band. In 1996, this lineup recorded another demo tape, songs from which would be used in 2002 on their self-titled debut album . In 1997, the band went on hiatus, during which Taylor and Root spent most of their time with Slipknot, who were another up-and-coming act in Des Moines and would soon earn a record deal.
