Do you love or hate Corey Taylor?

Rockers can't stand anyone apparently

Joey created Slipknot with Paul Gray at the gas station where he worked. They asked Corey Taylor to join because he is a great lead vocalist. I still wonder what they would have sounded like if they kept the original lead vocalist Anders Colsefni. Joey Jordison is absolutely right Slipknot is his own creation and his"baby", if you will be okay with that analogy.

The part about Oderus being 50 billion years older than Corey kills me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I find it funny how Cory and the band refuses to tell us the truth! Because they are allowing us to have the 50% Half of the story from Joey’s side. And not the other 50% on their end….. it’s like they want us to continue to dislike their responses about Joey. Why not just come out with the truth already?! it’s been 9 years Joey said only one member came to visit him in the hospital. They accused him on drugs when he was not playing right instead of actually trying to be there for him after knowing him for years! They should’ve canceled tours until they got help for their friend!! But it seemed like they were more concerned about tours, future albums, and money! They rather get a new drummer and move forward instead of helping their friend, again they have known for years!!! Like TF?! I’m sure there’s a full story here but they refuse to open up about anything. Again it’s like they want us to dislike them!! I’ve been pretty annoyed when Corey announces SLIPKNOT IS NOT ENDING THIS ISN’T THE END OF THE BAND. Literally every time they lose a member he just repeats himself. Chris from an interview on KZfaq right now from 2008. He literally said when he first joined there was no love in the band. Now he left the group after having disagreements on money and business.. And Corey once again wraps everything up in a bow and says the band is not over don’t worry…. It’s like he doesn’t care that people are leaving out of the band from his life! I’m sure Corey does care.. But how he approaches these interviews it seems like he doesn’t………. 😔 When Avenged Sevenfold lost the Rev. They didn’t just get a new drummer in a heartbeat. They were actually debating about ending the band after losing someone they’ve known for years. At least they stopped and took a moment to reflect on their friend. 🖤💙🖤

I don't care what anyone says, Corey Taylor is one of the greatest metal vocalists. Slipknot will always be my all time favorite band

Dude firing joey was their BIGGEST MISTAKE no clout being thrown at Jay . They should have never of did Joey like that .

Joey was the kindest and most attentive dude with the fans out of all the members I met without their masks over 20 years ago in NYC outside The Limelight. I never met Corey because he skipped out with his girlfriend at the time where no one could see him, but that says enough in itself. It's a damn shame they did Joey dirty like that. He deserved better.

Rest in peace, Oderus Urungus. So happy I got to see him live with Gwar.

Life has taught me that if you have problems with everyone you encounter there’s s possibility you’re the problem

Anyone acting surprised by these videos shouldn’t be. The rock and metal community is still toxic as shit and fans hate anything/everything different. Obviously not everyone, but a pretty decent chunk are still either elitist old heads or younger crowds being elitist that just hate on shit and refuse to move forward. In summary: nah. This channel isn’t hating. It’s pointing out the obvious.

Corey albeit talented, always struck me as a guy unwilling/unable to ever take the high road in any situation. Any sort of tensions arise, it's right to throwing insults.

Nah, firing Joey was a huge mistake. Crahan had a lot to do with it as well, and before someone says that Jordison was ill, he performed with a lot of bands after Slipknot. Scar the Martyr, Vimic and Sinsaenum (this last one is awesome actually). People change, but that was just a stab in the back. I don't care about Slipknot anymore, but I gotta say we are not your kind has some good tunes. However, it's not the same excitement as it was in the early days, they just want to keep milking the cow while they can.

Joey made Slipknot, if it wasn’t for his drumming style, Slipknot wouldn’t be as big as they are now .

To this day, I still wish Slipknot members would have just stayed out of public eye and were still hiding their faces, just releasing music only. I just think that would be so badass. Like, still do the interviews, but only stare and be crazy like they were early on, and clap back at any drama with the lyrics in their songs like Eminem does. The Banksys of Metal.

I am a huge fan of Corey. I love his honesty, no BS attitude, his talent and range as an artist

One does not simply shit on the Almighty GWAR

Funny thing Corey speaking about Chad having a big ego....

Love slipknot and respect Corey. However I do understand that a band is a business and your partners/employees aren't always on the same page. We as fans shouldn't idolize everything any of the members do. We are human and we fuck up. Theres plenty of shady shit that has happened in this band and will likely never stop. Unless its something horrendous I'll still be just as much of a fan.

To be fair and clear a few things up- MGK was *not* headlining riot fest. He was on a side stage, unfortunately for him, playing overlapped with slipknot and you can get them over the ending of his set. Also his crowd was pretty small (most were at slipknot’s stage - which was the headliner stage of riot fest)

I think when Corey was dealing with addiction and flying high in fame, he wasn’t the best at decision making. But I can’t help but notice dude seems different now. Much wiser of a person.

Now I wonder about Joey being in a different headspace from the rest of the band because of Paul Gray's death. That shook all of them probably in a way no death of any other member would. Corey has even said the ONLY good thing about making All Hope Is Gone was that he and Paul got closer. He must've been one of those good ones who always die young.

Great singer. Great performer. Comes off as a complete tool when he talks.

why would the guy who banged on a pot with a baseball bat a couple times per song make the same as the key members?

Okay now I am seriously truly very very much pissed off right now at who created this video. Joey really did pass away in his sleep from natural causes. A person who did grow up with Joey and Paul both were the first ones that knew it before anyone else and then just because at the time he was my neighbor in the apts where I live I also knew about it from them and I cried when I heard it from him to his significant other that Joey Jordison had passed away that morning. It's been just over a year now but I still can't shake it from my own mind at all. Just bawling my own eyes out now as I am writing this right now. I'll never forget the time Joey Jordison stood up for his fans when Fred Durst made the nasty negative comments about Slipknot's fan base. Joey Jordison did it with class. He is still one class act. He'll never be duplicated ever again either. It's just impossible.

He's a majority share holder , along with clown, the two of them basically turned the rest of the band into employees , that's called betrayal ,when Paul died the wheels started moving , and when Joey revealed his condition they saw the opportunity to take control of slipknot if they could get rid of Joey legally , and the rest is history .

...i was that Fan that asked David about the Corey statement. I didnt ask it to "rekindle" a feud. I asked it because i am a massive fan of both bands. And I knew that the remaining members of Korn were still friends with Slipknot. In this day and age, you can ask anyone anything and David was open enough to answer. David didnt say he beat him up. He said he confronted him backstage and if he says anything else that he would beat him up.

Joey's passing still hurts me so badly

Joey is my hero I wish more respect for my idle drummer

as far as I remember Jim Root, after he was fired from SS, said that one of the individuals from that band was only concerned about money, not the whole band

He used to be a hero of mine back in the early 2000s but I started disliking him because he would act like he was the voice of metal and his opinion was truth. He hated the "mainstream" complained that guys like Korn sold out yet only a few years later from IOWA he became what he said he hated. He wanted to be in the mainstream eye to get attention for himself. Turned Slipknot into StoneKnot/SlipSour and Stone Sour into Nickleback lite. Years on and hes still proving me right. And dont get me started on Clown

Taylor accusing anyone of being the "KFC" of the genre is hilarious. Slipknot is the definition of dad-friendly radio metal.

I actually considered subscribing when this channel started popping up with Rock and Metal news, but honestly it's just sad to see someone sink so low just to stay relevant in KZfaq's algorithm by using this platform to spread negativity and ignite more drama. Like @J W has put it nicely and i quote: ''You sure harbor a lot of hate for particular people. Just in your video archives, Why Rockers Can't Stand Slipknot's Corey Taylor Why Rockers Can't Stand Kiss's Gene Simmons Why Rockers Can't Stand Machine Head's Robb Flynn Why Rockers Can't Stand Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Why Rockers Can't Stand Metallica's Lars Ulrich Why Rockers Can't Stand Five Finger Death Punch's Ivan Moody Why Rockers Can't Stand Pantera's Phil Anselmo It's nice to stay away from hateful and negative sites. Not just KZfaq'' You're bringing nothing new to the table, all of these topics have already been talked dry ages ago, so you're really not pointing out anything that any casual Metal fan is not aware of, this is just another form of shamless copy-paste-clickbait material. Considering you have more than 70 thousand people subscribed to your channel one would think that you'd actually put an effort into making at least some form of original content instead of recycling negative content (that's not even original) over and over again just to even further ignite more drama in the comment section. Bottom line pathetic. PS: Here's an idea for the next video: ''Why Rockers Can't Stand Heavi'' 🖕🖕

I hate that Chris Fehn left. His was my favorite mask & his onstage personality was so hilarious & entertaining.

Either you love him, or Hate him, Corey is one of the best musicians/frontman of all time. I consider him as one of my favorite artists, and I was honored that I saw Slipknot live three times. I definitely will be seeing them again very soon.

But what does Corey Taylor think about this?

Some rockers ,people whatever may not like Corey because he says what a lot of people don't have the guts to say. Like him or not you have to admit he has the balls to say what's on his mind and doesn't sugar coat anything.

“Why MGK fans can’t stand Corey Taylor.” Fixed it.

U guys very poorly addressed the situation with Joey Jordison. He was dropped out of SK due to a medical situation that pretty much took his ability to drum and he had to work very hard to regain it - n succeeded. But one of them, non of the SK members visited JJ in hospital or kept in touch. He never stopped respecting n rooting for them, despite all this shit. He deserved better than *their* attitude n *yours*.

Bro you completely missed on the mgk drama… Corey said he wasn’t the guy for the job and mgk lied about the verse.. mgk tried to tell him how to sing and Corey said I want to do it my way if I’m gonna be a feature…

Corey is the type of dude who speaks his mind and is very opinionated, which is a rarity in today's world. Imho the rock and metal community is full of pretentious twits that will hate anything that has some popularity to it.

I met Corey once when I was 15 at a Knotfest meet n greet I didn’t say a single word and just started to cry He gave me a hug

That email exchange at 8:49 sounds downright...professional.

I used to be a huge Slipknot fan back in the day but the love slowly turned into hate because of what they had become. Slipknot turned into the exact same thing they once hated and stood against themselves. Turned their backs to the original fans, slowly sold out and replaced everything, sound, the message, band members and everything else that used to make them great. The only fans around now is fanatical (caring more about the masks than the actual music) and no matter what they do, the fans will praise it. The ego of Corey is too big for his own good, and the guy used to be humble. JESUS CHRIST!

Bruh all this video is just band drama and other people running their mouth about corey, also who is "rockers"? Found the nickelback fan lmao

So basically slipknot is corey and clown and you play ball or you’re fired

Hey not only he's my favorite Rockstar but he also saved me from taking my own life in Houston TX he was just walking around and saw me a dude with Autism fixing to cut the vein and he didn't let it happen. Gave me a hug and we talked. Corey's a damn good person no matter what any other hothead says about him.

The only thing I hate with corey & clown is the trying to rip off fans with there so called business ideas like the stupid NFT'S nobody wants plus it seems to be more about making money for corey & clown & not the band as a whole I wonder who will be kicked out next remember corey wasn't the first lead singer so was never his band either to start with

People need these videos to make up their minds for them. People can’t think for themselves. If you like what you like... then it doesn’t matter what any of this stuff does.

Love Corey... He is an absolute legend, along with everyone else in Slipknot! R.I.P. Paul Gray and Joey Jordison!

Corey’s criticism of Rubin was totally valid.

Every guy I’ve known that is overweight and doesn’t have a chin looks up to this guy I swear

Oh man...Zzyzx Rd. Acustic and Snuff...These two songs just changed my life completely.

Joey was my favorite band member. When he was fired I lost interest.

I really love that you used Corey crying from the snuff video when you mentioned Fred’s comment on Slipknot fans. Idk why but that shit had me rollin

5:10 Elmo was really getting into Stone Sour, LOL

I actually met him when he came to the restaurant I was working at. I waited for him to eat then asked for a photo. He was super nice and had someone come back and actually give me and my manger tickets to the show they were playing that night.

Corey Taylor is just the new generations Gene Simmons.

He's kinda a liar and treated his band like employees unfortunately

It should be called the Corey Taylor band featuring member's of Slipknot!!

I don't have a big problem with Corey. However, we do not need Corey's opinion on, literally, EVERYTHING. STFU, Corey, and just be a rockstar. I don't care what you think about anything. Although, calling Nickelback the "KFC of Rock music" was freaking hilarious, and apt.

Damn, you'd figure being compared to GWAR ( which there's no comparison) would be a great thing to hear.

How Slipknot treat past members is all I needed to know.

i just cant take anymore songs about coreys girlfriends.

For the whole machine gun kelly part, the video is only including MGK's side of the story. According to Corey Taylor he never sent a recording of the lines MGK wanted because he didn't like what the lyrics were and didn't want to sing them as it wasn't his thing so he respectfully declined but then a couple months later MGK is sharing a concert set with Slipknot which seems to remind him of the time Corey Taylor refused to sing lyrics for him so he started saying stuff about Slipknot in interviews and stuff. Now could Corey be lying, yes, but so could MGK, since the video is about people who don't like Corey Taylor whoever made it felt the need to not include Corey's side of the story for some reason.

I can tell this will piss off a LOT of Maggots (the Slipknot fans). I do think some of these are petty on the other party's behalf, but others like Odorus I feel didn't deserve the call outs. Corey's like Ronnie Radke, sometimes his callouts are justified, but others just leave you wondering why.

I remember reading an interview with Angus and Malcolm Young where they were asked about how it was to work with Mr. Rubin on their Ballbteaker record. Their answer was "there's a guy who wasn't around the studio too much".

iirc an interview with one of the mushroomhead members, they stated that it's the fans who ultimately kept the fund going. Both bands had moved past it all early on. Slipknot got bigger then mushroom even though mushroom was older and more established

I lost all respect for him when he tried to sue Burger King for "ripping them off" when they weren't even the first band to use the mask gimmick. Mr. Bungle and Gwar came out well before Slipknot, and I'm sure there are bands that even pre-date them. I still like Slipknot's music, but just have no respect for Corey on a personal level

A few of those are reasons to like the dude .... MGK and Nickleback to get started but the firing of Joey has always been hard to take

Rockers don’t like any frontmen apparently

Hot take but I believe MGK knew full well what he was doing. Coming from a rap background and controversies, he knows that's how you get attention. It just so happened that he picked the juggernaut of Metal feuds as his starting point and couldn't handle the backlash. He figured it would get him as much press as it did when he jabbed at Eminem; which it did. It's the nature of the beast and nothing actually gets resolved

Met corey and jim years ago after a show. Coreys hilarious in person.

I never thought Slipknot would go full corporate in their career, now it's a cringefest and their music sucks

I'm so glad I got to see what is considered the og line up of slipknot live. Excellent memories

how are they gonna say that chris fhen was never a member of the band... thats insanity. How is it a "brotherhood" when your bandmates are actually just your employees...

It's hard to like Slipknot. I tried. I gave up. (Shout out to Trent Reznor!)

Slipknot's lack of personal integrity dulls anything musically they could do at this point.

Everything else is fine but the fact that all members except Corey and Clown are considered independent contractors and not actual members is just pure bullshit.

I've always liked Corey Taylor and he just speaks his mind...I knew these stories but didn't know that Roadrunner Records denied signing Mushroomhead... imagine they did and they'd probably be either bigger or just as big as SlipKnoT ..

"All of Slipknot's members are employees of Corey and Clown" In one sentence, this band went from one of my favorites to now very suddenly perhaps my most hated. I'm actually kinda really pissed discovering that piece of information. They did already kinda lose me on Gray Chapter ngl, but I went to see em when they were promoting that album cycle. Paul already passed, Joey was gone, later passed--it was just one of those bucket list things I had to do. In hindsight now, it feels less like I was supporting the band Slipknot and just supporting Corey and Clown. That don't feel right 🙁Lamb of God went on before them...they did not need to go that hard but holy crap they kinda did steal the show imo. Slipknot had this surreal stage setup and pyro and I'd been waiting almost decade to see em so that ofc was epic, but maaaaan LoG just brought the energy that night.

That also sounds like regular issues that would arise for anyone throughout such a busy life. THAT SAID, I don’t know how I feel about the fact that all band members except Clown and Corey are contractors. That’s kinda wack. Especially regarding the OG’s like Mick Jim Syd Craig. I wonder if Joey was officially one of the “owners,” seeing as he Paul n Clown started the band. Man I miss Joey. Wish he was still here and part of the Knot.

About time someone told the truth about Taylor and Mgk. Slipknot is amazing, and so is Mgk. Taylor is just bitter, and threw the first public stone.

Corey is over-opinionated.

There is a clear pattern of betrayal inspired by greed. Taylor reminds me of Conrtney Love for some reason. If his early moves could be explained or tolerated, firing Joey was a dick move, finishing touch in the picture. Although I'm not sure if it was Taylors call at all, Slipknot decline that followed was not a surprise for anyone who has been around since band' early works.

Rockers? Machine Gun Kelly? Choose one lmao

It’s so funny, this Corey Taylor guy tries to come across as a scary tough guy with his gang of angry, masked midwesterners, but he’s like 4’9” and when you see him in interviews with average-sized people (with or without the mask) with his attitude and bravado, it just comes across as comical, bordering on adorable. lol.

Funny how slipknot and mushroom head were arguing who copied who when they both admitted they were inspired by Mr bungle that wore boiler suits and masks and made same kind of music just not as heavy

Joey and Paul were slipknot and Corey would be pumping gas somewhere if he hadn’t been carried

That's the dilemma with being a fan of any band. What initially brought you in was a group of hungry guys that you saw yourself in. You connected with what they had to say. Then time happens. If the band played their cards right, they're not gonna be starving anymore and thats where the disconnect happens. The fans didn’t grow successful with the band, we made them successful. Now these guys have yatchs, 401ks, stocks. To the majority, that's unrelatable. Maybe this is why some fans say the band "sucks" now. They stopped being hungry. The art became formulaic. They became the thing they raged against. "The band you loved was 20 years ago..."

Loudwire: “We need to go after these guys who made this video”

The metal community is the most toxic of all hardly ever see metal heads have anything positive to say love him or hate him corey is one of the best metal front men of all time

Corey will forever hold a special place in metal. Like it or not, other than Korn, he created NuMetal. i don't give a FUCK what people have to say. Not one other dude can move a crowd like Corey can. Ego or not, he's got it for reason. Man has fucking talent.

Thats a tough one. All i can say is, Joey the greatest, ever!

Is it just me, or does a SEVEN album deal for half a million seem incredibly low? Even for late 90s standards..

It is actually sad to see everything just comes down to money instead of “family” Also u think being together for 20+yrs they can talk this out as a band and setup business opportunities for everyone partner or associates, but sorry, money come first. Don’t get me wrong slipknot is my fav band and I’ve been with them since 1998-99 but I guess everywhere every jobs are down to the same thing, money.

I’ve met Corey and I can say in fact Corey is a great dude

As people have pointed out in the comments already, videos like this aren’t surprising. In metal and rock, there’s so much pretentiousness. I grew up with people who loved thrash metal (as I did and still do), black metal, death metal etc and they shit over everything. Anything that was remotely melodic or progressive, any guitarist who wasn’t a wizard on the fret board, anything that was considered “soft”. All in a bid to be cool, edgy, underground, and dark. Insufferable people

And btw, Corey was a friend of Joey before making the band. They were hanging out at the gas station Joey worked at.

Corey Taylor And His Ego's
