Mixed feelings. Corey speaks his mind but i get the feeling he only allows the truth to come out when it's on his terms and he approves of it. And he seems polarized like he could be nice to you or just as vicious.
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.
Oderus was best entertainer ever !! There was nothing like a Gwar show. I’m not into new Gwar with the old beefcake on vocals but it was going to happen eventually. They were supposed to live on forever with new characters but brocky dying sucked !!
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.
Agreed. Joey and mick were the nicest down to earth guys. Clown and Taylor were jerks. They are horrible live now. Corey can barely make it through a song. Corey showed his true colors when firing Joey who started the fucking band! It's not Corey's band. Yet he claims its "his baby" Dudes a fucking joke.
Dirty...bro they kicked him out due to drugs...it's a rule.... Then he overdosed..... His life.... He did not chose slipknot...he chose drugs ..not drums...drugs
@@MusicmyZombie He wasn’t on drugs towards the end of 2013, it was his transverse myelitis that caused him to get hospitalized and fired, the band thought he was on drugs.
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.
Lol banksy!? Picture of Jesus in a trashcan with a mushroom cloud in the background and you people think that's deep and he's a genius. LOL his "art" is the literal embodiment of "I'm 14 and this is deep". He's a bum.
@@tristanhunter4721 it was a firing, joey recovered but they never asked him back. You know why? Bcs he and Paul were main songwriters, so get rid of them and next thing is 100% control for Corey and Clown, no need to share, it's like they doubled their personal assets from bands.
That's the problem.. this dude could get exposed as pedophile and fools like you will say...I don't care what anyone says he's my favorite artist ever.
@@tonioshea9870 yeap, he lost me on the fight with Jim Root, like somehow Jim is the a-hole for focusing on the band that pays the bills instead of the side project Stone Sour is
@@LuisDiaz-bp7tv to Corey, Stone Sour was never a side project because that's the band that put him on the map. Besides it's always been a very popular band since their debut album released. Both bands pay the bills.
He was an amazing performer, as are all the guys in GWAR. I'm not a huge fan of their music, but I don't regret going to see their shows, it was always a good time.
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 TH-cam 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. 🖤💙🖤
Avenged sevenfold is one of the greatest band to walk on this planet and i think the only reason they continue is because Jimmy parents told them that it's what Jimmy would have wanted for the band.
@@neilsherer1766 I can't confirm for obvious reasons. But from what i heard back in the days it was Chris or Sid. I don't remember exactly who between those two.
@@tristanhunter4721 Joey is in everybody’s top 5 drummer list, Corey isn’t in everybody’s top 10 vocalist list let alone top 5. He’s a great vocalist but nothing too special or iconic.
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.
I hate to say it. But that’s all communities bro. Gaming, Music, you name it. It sucks man, and honestly man I just love their music and say fuck their history because at the end of the day music will be music..
@@karlosruiz3028 oh yeah. It’s all communities for sure. But I still feel like one community always outshines the others in terms of toxicity. Like how the League of Legends community outshines others when it comes to toxicity in gaming. I feel like the metal community has to be the worst music community. I love metal music and always will, but I can barely bring myself to check out comments because it’s always filled with the same shit.
Very interesting comment of yours! It's plauged all across metal and these "fine tasters" telling you what's good and not good. Mob mentality! If you call out their favorite band for some bullshit.
@@datankle7519 the rap community ain't no better with all that beef bullshit goin on. bunch o' young niggas in their early 20s gettin killed over that shit bro. braggin, trashtalkin and promoting violence ain't no good way to educate the youth. however you're right about one thing tho, the metal community be up there in terms of toxicity, elitism and shit. i think it's just in the human nature to complain about all things of life even when they're positive. good example being the metallica x stranger things event. either way man, one community being worse doesn't necessarily mean the other is better. both are toxic, let's just that sink in.
I couldn’t agree more. Every damn time I go to show I’m relentlessly bullied by the damn fan base. Not many people talk about the toxicity of the metal community.
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.
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.
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.
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.
No one dies from natural causes in their sleep at that young age. Either he had some unrevealed life threatening disease or from poor lifestyle choices.
@@joeyboomdrums While I don't necessarily agree, that's beside the point. I still don't see how this has anything bad to do with the vid. Unless people expected him to actually say that a broken heart factually killed Joey?? Surely that's not what pissed off the original comment
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.
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)
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 .
@@GallowayJesse Joey, Shaun and Paul made the band. They were on their way to success before Tyler and would’ve made it without them. He’s a dime store frontman
This is exactly when i dropped Slipknot... Without Joey, it wasn't Slipknot anymore. Period! Now, it's more Stone Sour oriented and the share holder concept is total BS! I saw 2 live shows and got all CD until they fired Joey. It's dead to me now
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.
...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.
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
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…
I agree w you there but honestly the whole beef was Corey’s fault. He’s the one who made it public first and then MGK came out and twisted up the words about the verse. I’m a huge fan of both, but I take MGK’s side, and Slipknot fans act like he was the one who started it. He just responded. The whole thing could’ve been kept under wraps and talked out privately
@@6ixsidejoey661 MGK kicked it all off in December 2020 by disrespecting bands on Warped Tour he was on because "shoes they wore" were too comfortable for Rock and specifically speaking about New Balance shoes which are typically associated with the older generation. Then CT did make indirect comments a few months later (Feb 2021) about not liking the music of an artist who crossed over after failure. Sure it was brash, but their collab effort/fallout happened back a year prior to this so I'm sure at that moment CT felt disrespected by MGK for trying to force something on their collab back then ( and we don't know the finer details of what was said after he bailed) + making his Warped Tour comments a few months prior to this interview. I can see where CT thinks MGK is disrespectful to the genre at this point considering he is a crossover artist. It could have died there but MGK then said at Riot Fest (Sept 2021) that he was "happy he wasn't 50 and wearing a mask" and shortly after posting on Twitter about how bitter CT was on his track because his "verses sucked". The CT receipts dates show that MGK brought up this "sucky verse" nonsense almost 2 years after the collab failure. This then led to CT's comments in Q&A earlier this year where he specifically mentions the shoes comments and being disrespectful to metal. Obviously CT has a track record of voicing his opinions on things but in this situation its hard to take MGK's side when he's been disrespecting the genre and Slipknot/CT along the way.
@@BR25x I'm amused by the fact that Corey Taylor is from Iowa, looks like a thumb, has a side band that sounds like Nickelback, and sings a song every night that contains the line "biggity biggity bitch boy," and yet the best insult MGK can come up with is "you wear a mask,"
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 TH-cam'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 TH-cam'' 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'' 🖕🖕
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
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
I’m more irritated that they tried to sell the story that they were “family” or “brothers” Only to come out later and say everyone except Corey and Clown are employees. That’s kind of a douche bag move, imo.
Exactly 💯% correct! Joey and Paul together as Joey Jordison took his breaks at work would talk with Paul forming Slipknot and then decided to ask Corey Taylor to join because he is a very good excellent lead vocalist. But Anders Colsefni is the original lead vocalist for Slipknot and then was originally called the pale ones way before it became Slipknot. FYI for you. Because an amazing person like you really does deserve the truth for the comments and standing up for Slipknot. Seriously. People need to learn how to get along with others. And BTW they should have learned that way back in preschool. So sad when people forget all about that lesson. Especially those of us who did not have any siblings and grew up as an only child.
@@Missconduct044that wasn’t a “story” I’m sure in their minds back then nobody expecting a member to die. If they ended slipknot completely their legend status would’ve been erased and they’d be looked at as nothing but jokes
@@geometrydashnoob6225 Corey seems a bit narcissistic tbh I mean they could fit 3 or 4 more songs in their set but he decides to do a speech every other song.
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.
Corey taylor has the "I'm the better person than anyone" attitude but he lacks professionalism. He acts like a child on stage and sings about senseless things about being sensitive all the time. Corey taylor also doesnt make decisions properly, it was always Joey, Paul and Chris.
truth is, he was in a rough patch at the time all these controversies happened, ask anyone nowadays and they'll do nothing but respect him, as hes crushed all his beefs and become way more kind and humble.
"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.
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
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.
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.
@@InkAndPoet I put off listening to the band for a long time because of all the creepy and weird stories, the constant Corey spam, and the overall trashy image. Big mistake. They've quickly become one of my favorite metal bands.
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.
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.
@@amyhill9127 True! I like Nickelback too, but saying that Stone Sour sounds like Nickelback, or that Stone Sour ripped off Nickelback... man if that ain't the biggest lie, Lol!
The internal business fued with Chris from Slipknot aside, which is a "grey area" business issue ... What Is Corey's GREATEST OFFENSE??? He insulted several BLOATED "ICONS" in a time where BOTH the Rock and Metal genre where in SERIOUS NEED of house cleaning before losing ALL credability!!! I don't have to LIKE Michael Jackson to LOVE his music...
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
so apparently you've met ever single person in the metal community! that's kinda impressive, or are you just making unfounded sweeping statements, hmmmm i wonder which it could be.
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.
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
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..."
Slipknot as a band is fuckin' great.. but corey, sure he's a good lead vocalist.. but just listening to the guy talk in interviews, i can definitely say that there's something off with him.. like he has a hidden agenda or some sort.. he just have that bad vibe in him.
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 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".
Kerry King said pretty much the same thing regarding the later Slayer/ Rubin collaborated records. King was bitter about the time and attention Rubin was throwing towards SYSTEM OF A DOWN. I dont know, I can go through a Pile of Rubin produced CD's and I tend to like them. Is that him or the bands?
@@saltpeter7429 Like or not, Rubin produced some amazing timeless records/music from several genres,imho. Sure the bands/artists were already good/great bands/artists, but Rubin deserves "some" credit also, for sure. First time that Lombardo's drums sounded like drums with a crystal clear sound was with him, for ex. His resume speaks for him.
I'll open this by saying that I'm a huge Slipknot fan, but almost all of these entries sounded like "artist that is not as good as Slipknot talks shit about Slipknot because they want publicity"
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.
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.
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
the mushroom part was not true, it was issues between the fans making it about the bands but it wasn't, that part needs to be fixed. Both sides have talked about this.
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 ..

Not just TH-cam. 👎
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...
I think it's safe to say that at the very least, Corey Taylor doesn't seem like a great guy. Imagine being in a collaborative project with people for multiple decades, but being barred from LEGALLY being part of Slipknot and only being an underling of one of your supposed friends. Like, yeah Shawn had every right to be upset and seek restitution. And then forcing out one of the founding members of the band simply for disagreements. Jesus
Have been a huge Slipknot fan since ’04 and I can‘t deny that they often helped me get back up on track when I felt done with myself… Slipknot and Radiohead to be more precise. The more older I got, the more I started analyzing the different individuals in bands, it fascinated me somehow. Especially with Corey, it‘s a two bladed sword. This guy speaks honestly about things nobody dares to speak due to todays wokeness. He wrote some very meaningful and epic lyrics and had the attitude. But - keep in mind, if you get treated like god, you start acting like him. Just how it happened with Shawn (Clown) their egos and success got to their head. Corey started to become very superficial, the new slipknot music sounds the same since .5, lyrics are vague and blend, there is no more ground breaking stuff and yet, Corey is acting as if he‘s the man - when he‘a not anymore… He becomes more and more annoying, than rather become more and more relevant these days. When he started this „crying“ at award shows, which looked honestly fake to me, that is when it first got me where I thought „damn, he knows what he‘a doing, he‘s milking this thing and people fall for it“…
And you’re the authority of fake crying since when? What am I supposed to do with that information? I’ve cried before, anyone could claim I’m faking when really it’s real. Who’s the authority on crying? Cause I’m sure it ain’t you.
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.
Do you love or hate Corey Taylor?
Love Corey Taylor
Mixed feelings. Corey speaks his mind but i get the feeling he only allows the truth to come out when it's on his terms and he approves of it. And he seems polarized like he could be nice to you or just as vicious.
I don't hate him is just not a fan he can be a diva sometimes

Still love
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.
Joey thought to call the band slipknot from a song that they called slipknot but that was it

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

He was an amazing performer, as are all the guys in GWAR. I'm not a huge fan of their music, but I don't regret going to see their shows, it was always a good time.
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 TH-cam 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.
🖤💙🖤
Avenged sevenfold is one of the greatest band to walk on this planet and i think the only reason they continue is because Jimmy parents told them that it's what Jimmy would have wanted for the band.
Corey Taylor is a narcissist, he only cares about himself and his money.
Also, I'm assuming the member that visited Joey would be Jim because he seems like a nice guy as opposed to some others.
@@neilsherer1766 I can't confirm for obvious reasons. But from what i heard back in the days it was Chris or Sid. I don't remember exactly who between those two.
Wow! I had no idea about any of this. Maybe I need to reevaluate whether I love Corey. Disappointing. Thank you for your post.
Joey made Slipknot, if it wasn’t for his drumming style, Slipknot wouldn’t be as big as they are now .

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.
I hate to say it. But that’s all communities bro. Gaming, Music, you name it. It sucks man, and honestly man I just love their music and say fuck their history because at the end of the day music will be music..
@@karlosruiz3028 oh yeah. It’s all communities for sure. But I still feel like one community always outshines the others in terms of toxicity. Like how the League of Legends community outshines others when it comes to toxicity in gaming. I feel like the metal community has to be the worst music community. I love metal music and always will, but I can barely bring myself to check out comments because it’s always filled with the same shit.
Very interesting comment of yours!

either way man, one community being worse doesn't necessarily mean the other is better. both are toxic, let's just that sink in.
I couldn’t agree more. Every damn time I go to show I’m relentlessly bullied by the damn fan base. Not many people talk about the toxicity of the metal community.

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.
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.
What did you think about that with a tampon up your bum?
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.

@@neilsherer1766 I don't disagree with you but to be fair, on a "nine members band" that dosen't seem hard to happen
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.
No one dies from natural causes in their sleep at that young age. Either he had some unrevealed life threatening disease or from poor lifestyle choices.
That's rough but.. Why are you pissed at the video?? I don't see any disrespect towards Joey??
Joey died of a broken heart. A band is a marriage. Corey threw him out of the house Joey Built.
@@joeyboomdrums While I don't necessarily agree, that's beside the point. I still don't see how this has anything bad to do with the vid. Unless people expected him to actually say that a broken heart factually killed Joey?? Surely that's not what pissed off the original comment
I like how you made his death about you.
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.
such a relatable personable guy now too so different from what he used to be
😂biggest bs I heard in a min
A common theme in metal bands, huge egos made even worse by drugs
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)
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 .
fact
That's how most bands operate. Also most bands have one guy who writes the music and everyone else shows up & plays
@@GallowayJesse Joey, Shaun and Paul made the band. They were on their way to success before Tyler and would’ve made it without them. He’s a dime store frontman
This is exactly when i dropped Slipknot... Without Joey, it wasn't Slipknot anymore. Period! Now, it's more Stone Sour oriented and the share holder concept is total BS! I saw 2 live shows and got all CD until they fired Joey. It's dead to me now
@@AlexStyvon looking at tesf its true
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.
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?
Shawn apparently writes a lot of the songs and I guess outlines some of the guitar parts?
One does not simply shit on the Almighty GWAR
How about Mayhem
...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 is my hero I wish more respect for my idle drummer
He was never idle except when he was very sick. He's a hard working rockstar not idle
Homie can't spell idol.
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
That was Josh Rand. The other guitarist 🎸
'All the money in the world can't buy me' was a lie..
I never thought Slipknot would go full corporate in their career, now it's a cringefest and their music sucks
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…
Who really gives a fuck about either one of these douche bags?
I agree w you there but honestly the whole beef was Corey’s fault. He’s the one who made it public first and then MGK came out and twisted up the words about the verse. I’m a huge fan of both, but I take MGK’s side, and Slipknot fans act like he was the one who started it. He just responded. The whole thing could’ve been kept under wraps and talked out privately
@@6ixsidejoey661 MGK kicked it all off in December 2020 by disrespecting bands on Warped Tour he was on because "shoes they wore" were too comfortable for Rock and specifically speaking about New Balance shoes which are typically associated with the older generation.
Then CT did make indirect comments a few months later (Feb 2021) about not liking the music of an artist who crossed over after failure. Sure it was brash, but their collab effort/fallout happened back a year prior to this so I'm sure at that moment CT felt disrespected by MGK for trying to force something on their collab back then ( and we don't know the finer details of what was said after he bailed) + making his Warped Tour comments a few months prior to this interview. I can see where CT thinks MGK is disrespectful to the genre at this point considering he is a crossover artist.
It could have died there but MGK then said at Riot Fest (Sept 2021) that he was "happy he wasn't 50 and wearing a mask" and shortly after posting on Twitter about how bitter CT was on his track because his "verses sucked". The CT receipts dates show that MGK brought up this "sucky verse" nonsense almost 2 years after the collab failure.
This then led to CT's comments in Q&A earlier this year where he specifically mentions the shoes comments and being disrespectful to metal. Obviously CT has a track record of voicing his opinions on things but in this situation its hard to take MGK's side when he's been disrespecting the genre and Slipknot/CT along the way.
@@BR25x I'm amused by the fact that Corey Taylor is from Iowa, looks like a thumb, has a side band that sounds like Nickelback, and sings a song every night that contains the line "biggity biggity bitch boy," and yet the best insult MGK can come up with is "you wear a mask,"
unsurprising considering mgk is well renowned for being an actual joke. i find it hard to believe that he has any active fans lmao
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 TH-cam'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 TH-cam''
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'' 🖕🖕
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
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
Joey's passing still hurts me so badly
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
I’m more irritated that they tried to sell the story that they were “family” or “brothers”
Only to come out later and say everyone except Corey and Clown are employees. That’s kind of a douche bag move, imo.
Exactly 💯% correct! Joey and Paul together as Joey Jordison took his breaks at work would talk with Paul forming Slipknot and then decided to ask Corey Taylor to join because he is a very good excellent lead vocalist. But Anders Colsefni is the original lead vocalist for Slipknot and then was originally called the pale ones way before it became Slipknot. FYI for you. Because an amazing person like you really does deserve the truth for the comments and standing up for Slipknot. Seriously. People need to learn how to get along with others. And BTW they should have learned that way back in preschool. So sad when people forget all about that lesson. Especially those of us who did not have any siblings and grew up as an only child.
@@Missconduct044that wasn’t a “story” I’m sure in their minds back then nobody expecting a member to die. If they ended slipknot completely their legend status would’ve been erased and they’d be looked at as nothing but jokes

A bit off topic but KFC chicken makes me feel nauseous. Same with popeyes.

Corey’s criticism of Rubin was totally valid.
Corey is over-opinionated.
Corey taylor has the "I'm the better person than anyone" attitude but he lacks professionalism. He acts like a child on stage and sings about senseless things about being sensitive all the time. Corey taylor also doesnt make decisions properly, it was always Joey, Paul and Chris.
truth is, he was in a rough patch at the time all these controversies happened, ask anyone nowadays and they'll do nothing but respect him, as hes crushed all his beefs and become way more kind and humble.
"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.
i saw that tour as well
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
Mushroom head

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.
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.

Corey Taylor is just the new generations Gene Simmons.
How dare you. Gene's head of marketing. Paul would be the front man. Gene's voice is so cute. My favorite as a five year old.
But with less business sense, and more emotional outbursts
Nahhh not even close
Nonsense
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
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..."
Slipknot as a band is fuckin' great.. but corey, sure he's a good lead vocalist.. but just listening to the guy talk in interviews, i can definitely say that there's something off with him.. like he has a hidden agenda or some sort.. he just have that bad vibe in him.
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 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".
Kerry King said pretty much the same thing regarding the later Slayer/ Rubin collaborated records.
King was bitter about the time and attention Rubin was throwing towards SYSTEM OF A DOWN.
I dont know, I can go through a Pile of Rubin produced CD's and I tend to like them. Is that him or the bands?
@@saltpeter7429 Like or not, Rubin produced some amazing timeless records/music from several genres,imho. Sure the bands/artists were already good/great bands/artists, but Rubin deserves "some" credit also, for sure. First time that Lombardo's drums sounded like drums with a crystal clear sound was with him, for ex. His resume speaks for him.
So basically slipknot is corey and clown and you play ball or you’re fired
I'll open this by saying that I'm a huge Slipknot fan, but almost all of these entries sounded like "artist that is not as good as Slipknot talks shit about Slipknot because they want publicity"
Okay, I want a Slipknot documentary now
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.

Man that’s deep. Doing better these days?
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
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.
The gray chapter and we are not your kind are better than ahig and the tours for those albums were amazing
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
the mushroom part was not true, it was issues between the fans making it about the bands but it wasn't, that part needs to be fixed. Both sides have talked about this.
Met corey and jim years ago after a show. Coreys hilarious in person.
Joey and Paul were slipknot and Corey would be pumping gas somewhere if he hadn’t been carried
Nobody believes but you and a much of morons. Slipknot started to become more than a local band when Corey joined you think that was a coincidence?
5:00 😂 😂 Come on, Corey! Tell us how you really feel about Rick Rubin 🤣
Poor Rubin had to work and deal with the ego maniac Corey Taylor lol.
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.
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 ..
No they wouldn’t because they’re not as good and the head of the band is a huge douche so they can’t even keep the same band together for one album.
They should be bigger because they're more original and came before Slipknot.
Corey Taylor And His Ego's
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 TH-cam. 👎
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...
Taylor accusing anyone of being the "KFC" of the genre is hilarious. Slipknot is the definition of dad-friendly radio metal.
Don't know hom personally so I can't comment on that, but he's my favorite vocalist. Voice of an angel & scream.of a demon!
Machine Gun Kelly didn't "switch" genres outta the blue. Dude's been getting features on pop-punk songs since as far back as 2012.
nobody cares about that tampon.
I think it's safe to say that at the very least, Corey Taylor doesn't seem like a great guy. Imagine being in a collaborative project with people for multiple decades, but being barred from LEGALLY being part of Slipknot and only being an underling of one of your supposed friends. Like, yeah Shawn had every right to be upset and seek restitution. And then forcing out one of the founding members of the band simply for disagreements. Jesus
5:11 bro I didn’t know Elmo liked stone sour😂😂
Have been a huge Slipknot fan since ’04 and I can‘t deny that they often helped me get back up on track when I felt done with myself… Slipknot and Radiohead to be more precise.
The more older I got, the more I started analyzing the different individuals in bands, it fascinated me somehow.
Especially with Corey, it‘s a two bladed sword. This guy speaks honestly about things nobody dares to speak due to todays wokeness. He wrote some very meaningful and epic lyrics and had the attitude.
But - keep in mind, if you get treated like god, you start acting like him. Just how it happened with Shawn (Clown) their egos and success got to their head. Corey started to become very superficial, the new slipknot music sounds the same since .5, lyrics are vague and blend, there is no more ground breaking stuff and yet, Corey is acting as if he‘s the man - when he‘a not anymore…
He becomes more and more annoying, than rather become more and more relevant these days. When he started this „crying“ at award shows, which looked honestly fake to me, that is when it first got me where I thought „damn, he knows what he‘a doing, he‘s milking this thing and people fall for it“…
And you’re the authority of fake crying since when? What am I supposed to do with that information? I’ve cried before, anyone could claim I’m faking when really it’s real. Who’s the authority on crying? Cause I’m sure it ain’t you.
I wouldn't call myself a heavy "rocker", but I love Corey in interviews. He seems very sweet.
I’ve met Corey and I can say in fact Corey is a great dude
did you really?
Is it just me, or does a SEVEN album deal for half a million seem incredibly low? Even for late 90s standards..
WAY low!!
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.
Slipknot is the KFC of the metal world except the food has sat all day under warmers
Brooo.. 💀🤣
3:10 "KFC of rock" yes that would be stone sour lmao
