Among the all-star collection assembled for cameos in the video include the likes of Lars Ulrich, Marilyn Manson, Rob Halford, and SO many more.
On “Black Eyes Blue,” Taylor delivers a melodically-deft vocal performance that displays his dynamic creative range. Showcasing a unique ability to cover a broad spectrum of styles, Taylor’s initial 2-piece from CMFT is a true testament to the frontman’s undeniable versatility.
