Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor has called out Fall Out Boy for having "the nerve" to give its 2013 album "Save Rock and Roll" title.
"I've just gotten to the point in my life where I"m tired of holding back," Taylor explained. "It's like, 'Man, I've just got to say something, even just to get it off my chest,' and it feels like people respond to it, whether it's positive or negative. My biggest worry was that it would come off too angry and people wouldn't see the humor, but I think after all these years people understand my sense of humor. It's pretty dark, but they get it. I'm just trying to get everybody to laugh with me."
In addition to this, he also gave his reaction to thos Kanye West fans who have continuously bashed him after telling the R&B star that he is not the greatest living rock star.
After West bravely claimed that he is the "greatest living rock star of all time," Taylor immediately reacted, and his reaction was immediately called out by West's fans.
"Kanye, you are not -- not -- the greatest living rock star of all time. The fact that you had to tell people that kinda says it all," the Slipknot frontman told West, which immediately caused an uproar to Kanye West's defenders. . "You remind me of the guy who bras about p---y -- they never get as much as they brag about. Stop it!"
In an interview with Billboard to promote his rant-laden third book, "You're Making Me Hate You," the Stone Sour and Slipknot frontman admitted that he actually find the situation funny.
Taylor claimed that West has yet to react to his statement but his fans have actually brutally attacked him in social media.
"It's so funny, man It was like one little comment and now everybody's talking about it and it's just getting funnier and funnier," said Taylor, who's currently on a book tour doing both signings and spoken word/music performances.
"The first day everybody was going, 'Well, y'know, (West) has more Grammys than Slipknot has albums. I'm like, 'Yeah, you just made my point for me. Getting a Grammy is like getting a Teen Choice Award. Figure it out.' And then the big thing online is these weird little armchair academics who are like, 'Well, if you really break it down, sorry Corey, but Kanye really is the greatest living rock star.' And I'm like, 'You an stop right there because you just destroyed your credibility. If you're gonna tell me (that) with Keith Richards still alive, withDavid Bowie still alive, with Paul McCartney still alive that there's even a comparison to Kanye West, then you just need to shut up and never try to say anything smart ever again."
