"
Bother" is the second
single from the
alternative metal band
Stone Sour's first album
Stone Sour. It was originally released as a solo song by frontman
Corey Taylor, but the billing was later changed to Stone Sour. The song was one of Stone Sour's first songs to put them into the mainstream. The cover features Taylor's hands and rings, one of them being a
Spider-Man ring which is a reference to the song being featured on the
soundtrack to the film Spider-Man (although the track is credited to Taylor as the performer not Stone Sour) and to Taylor being a fan of Spider-Man. The other has the number 8 on it, representing Taylor's number in
Slipknot. Taylor has stated that the song is about when he moved back to
Des Moines from
Denver, where he hoped to try to move forward with his music.
