Stone Sour’s Josh Rand Shares The Demo Version of “Take A Number”


Josh Rand, co-founder and guitarist of Stone Sour, has shared another demo/outtake from the session that eventually would lead to the debut album from that band, released via Roadrunner Records in 2002. The album was crafted with Corey Taylor while on a break between Slipknot album and tour cycles. Check out the original version of ‘Take a Number right now!

Josh Rand commented: “When we were trying to figure out what songs to put on the self titled album, ‘Take A Number’ kept coming up. This is the original recording from 1996 with Shawn [Economaki, bass] playing the guitar solo.”

Rand hinted that the band will release something next summer which he can’t talk about yet, but also told The Pulse Of Radio he’s working on another project to keep fans happy during the hiatus. “I archive like everything that we’ve done, so starting at the top of [2020], every week I’m going to release a demo or an alternate version of a song, starting from the very beginning. And then throughout the entire year will get us up to ‘Hydrograd’. So I’m pretty excited about that.”
