Stone Sour will be celebrating their 10th anniversary by posting the audio of their very first show - December 7, 2001 at House of Bricks in Des Moines, Iowa - exclusively in their fan club, The Dead Generation. Dead Generation members will have access to the audio for ten days, after which it will be returning to the vaults.

Join today to gain access!

Says the band:

"To commemorate the 10th anniversary of Stone Sour’s (Superego back then) first show, we'll be streaming that show for 10 days, starting December 7th, exclusively to Dead Generation members!

Every song is about fucking the dead, the guitars are all in and out of tune, there’s a bunch of missed cues and lots of drinking! What more could you want from a bootleg?

Enjoy, Stone Sour"

STONE SOUR are excited to announce that drum wizard Mike Portnoy will be joining them behind the kit for a one-off upcoming show at the world renowned ‘Rock In Rio’ Festival on 24th September.

The band’s regular drummer, Roy Mayorga, is currently home and anxiously awaiting the birth of his first daughter (due the very same day as Stone Sour’s Rio show). Roy personally asked his friend Mike Portnoy to fill in for what is sure to be a special ‘once in a lifetime’ event for the fans in attendance. Said Mike, “It's my honor and pleasure to be able to help out my good friends in Stone Sour and my brother Roy in their time of need. It's also an unexpected treat for me to get another visit with some of the greatest fans in the world down in Brazil.” Frontman Corey Taylor added: “We've been waiting a long time for the opportunity to come to South America. This year's Rock in Rio should be fantastic. With Roy expecting his first child, we'll charge on without him, but having Mike fill in for this one show will be great. We can't wait to take the stage and lay it down the only way Stone Sour knows how- full on and in your face!"

Plans are afoot for a special EP/DVD release from STONE SOUR this Winter, along with a special MP3 giveaway via STONE SOUR’s Facebook page. Stay tuned for full details soon.
