COREY TAYLOR Says Nobody Has Guessed TORTILLA MAN's Identity

Corey Taylor says that none of the speculation about the identity of SLIPKNOT 's newest member — the percussionist nicknamed " Tortilla Man " (pictured above) — thus far has been correct.

Tortilla Man joined SLIPKNOT three months ago, when he was first featured in the video for comeback single "Unsainted" . Since then, there has been much speculation about his name, with some SLIPKNOT fans getting quite obsessed with trying to work out the real identity of the band's latest recruit.

During an appearance on yesterday's (Thursday, August 22) episode of SiriusXM 's "Trunk Nation" , Taylor was asked if he and his bandmates are enjoying all the hoopla surrounding SLIPKNOT 's latest addition.

"It's great," the SLIPKNOT singer said. "I did an interview with Rock Feed news like a week ago or so, and I said that it was Tito Puente [American musician, songwriter and record producer, who died in 2000]. And people who had never heard of Tito Puente were, like, 'Oh my God! He totally revealed who [it is].' I'm, like, 'Are you kidding?' It is amazing the level of ridiculousness that not only permeates this band but permeates the fandom of this band. I'm just sitting back going, 'I'll feed you guys whatever.' I mean, it's beautiful. Just laying those little clues and people lose their minds. It's awesome."
