Slipknot’s Corey Taylor Blasts New Artists: “I Hate All New Rock For The Most Part”
Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has discussed the current state of rock music and blasted new artists while sharing his thoughts about the genre he defended and played for a long time.
Speaking to Cutterโs Rockcast, Corey Taylor, who released his debut solo album ‘CMFT’ on October 2, 2020, stated that he sick off that people who failed in one genre and decided to go rock. He also touched people who frustrate him.
โI look at some of these bands that sound like this or sound like that or sound like the other guy, and itโs just, like, well, they obviously listened to two albums that have been out for a minute.โ
โBut the ones that really frustrate me are the ones that they take something thatโs been around forever and then just basically rework it and call it new โ even though itโs completely derivative. You know the band theyโre ripping off โ theyโre not even trying to rip off a bunch of bands; theyโre ripping off one band.
โBut the younger generation picks them up and says, โThis is our blah blah blahโ, because theyโre tired of old people telling them that the music that came before them was better. And I donโt know whoโs right, but I know both are wrong, because we should be encouraging everything.
โIโm just as bad. Iโm the worst old fogey dude shaking his cane ever. And I hate everything. I hate all new rock for the most part. I [hate] the artists who failed in one genre and decided to go rock โ and I think he knows who he is. But thatโs another story. Iโm the worst. And I hate everything.โ
