With Stone Sour, I want to show that there's more to me, more to us than just what you see in Slip- knot. When I joined Slipknot, I always knew I'd want to come back to this kind of writing."

NOT JUST A SIDE PROJECT Roadrunner president Jonas Nachsin is quick to point out the legitimacy of Stone Sour and how it fits into the label's priorities. "While Corey Taylor and James Root are still actively involved in Slipknot, Stone Sour has never been considered a side project. We've always been impressed and intrigued by the artistry of Corey. He has a real vision. He approaches songwriting and performing as a real artist. When he approached us with his desire to do this project with Stone Sour, we were support- ive. It's been an adjustment in the transition. We are confident in the future success in both Stone Sour and Slipknot."

Bu RNONDII BHRNKI Sometimes a leader, sometimes a follower and sometimes even a detractor, Atlanta has been a part of many of music's dominant trends. Some move- ments have been unique to Atlanta and its Southern surroundings, while oth- ers have reflected larger trends in the music industry as a whole. Two years after LaFace Records pulled up stakes, many contend that no Atlanta label has stepped up to fill the void left by the company. But, despite the conspicuous absence of an apparent leader in the city's industry, Atlanta still has a thriving, very active music scene. Opinions about the state of the city's landscape seem to run the gamut. But one notion is consistent: People here are working hard to make sure Atlanta maintains or exceeds the level of success it has enjoyed in the past decade. Continued on page 34

Coinciding with Billboard's 2002 Music & Money Symposium, Billboard turns its spotlight on the business behind making music. We look at survival strategies for distributors and labels selling into cash -challenged retail accounts, the con- tinually rising value of music- publishing assets, and the growing activity and influence of entertainment - business attorneys.

Take advantage of this opportunity to promote your financial or management service business to compa- nies that make and distribute music.
