Band Photo: Slipknot (?)

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has spoken about his contempt for Coldplay's new album on national television.

During a recent interview on Zane Lowe's show on MTV 2, Taylor said that the British band's latest album, "Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends" is "One of the most self-celebratory pieces of shit I've ever fucking heard in my entire fucking life."

"I fucking hate that album," he added. "It's music to wipe your ass to."

I don't prefer Coldplay but I have a lot of respect for Coldplay and from what I have heard of the new album, the new music is a lot better then other popular music that is produced today. It's funny how a lot of people are going to agree with Corey on this on this site, but I'm willing to bet very very few people have heard this album from start to finish (I admit I have not). Not having done so it is unfair to judge the album.

If Corey doesn't like Coldplay then why would he listen to their new album if he even actually did listen to it? It's possible that he is just doing this to gain attention.

with the exception of a few tracks all hope is gone might as well be PERFORMED by coldplay. i dont see a big difference between the two there both selouts and slipknots new album doesnt have the "zazzyness" and originality they used to have like there first three albums. everything went to crap after iowa the band stayed good for vol 3 but nooooowww there just standardize like the riffs and drumming sound bad ass. but its not anything unique like they used to be.

Golly Gee Corey Taylor, you sure are so smart for pointing out a fact everyone knew at the turn of the century. not only is coldplay(terrible as they are)not even part of the metal genre, what sense does it make when you have a band(that ranks just as low on my list in my opinion) in the same genre? OHhh Corey Taylor's so metal for bashing a band that everyone thinks sucks anyway right! Corey Taylor, You're INFLUENCING my musical tastes with every opinion you commission to the media! PLEASE! Tell me what bands not to listen to. But seriously now, I bet you can't convince me to buy that musical turd you call "All hope is gone"

f*** off.

Corey Taylor is a beast despite what some of the idiots posting here say. He has true musical talent. He can go hard (obviously not hard compared to something like Cannibal Corpse etc.), he can do aggresive singing, and he can go really soft and melodic. I think that merits respect rather than disrespect. Sure maybe you guys don't like the slower music and that's fine but to sit there and say he's a waste of space or anything along those lines is blasphemous!

If that's what merits respect. Than Stu Block from Into Eternity deserves more respect than any other metal singing vocalist.

The genres of music are so far removed that it makes no difference. I doubt there were countless Slipknot fans going, "Hey Corey's right!" and smashing their Coldplay CD's. Just like most Coldplay fans couldn't care less what a guy from Slipknot says. Do I like Coldplay? No. But like I said earlier, it just seems like a way to come off hard against a band that really has no representation with the people who listen to Slipknot's music. Might as well Pick on Tiny Tim or Barry Manilow for all that it really accomplishes. It's all just meaningless bluster.

Youre criticizing his music and telling him hes wrong for thinking its better than some band syou dont even like, when you yourself have mad eno attempt to even create music. I'm not sayin that makes your point any less valid, only that his opinion is more valid because he's met analguest's request that was meant as criticization.

What i dont understand is why you dont think his band is better than coldplay. Seeing as youre such a fan of nu-metal, I can understand if you enjoyed slipknot or stone sour more, but COLDPLAY?! Are you that bitter against the man that you cant see good music in front of you?

I'm not much of a fan of Slipknot, Stonesour, or Coldplay. I have written alot of music I might consider better while someone else might not. I might not have made anything of it, but that's not really the point here is it. I have the right to dislike any band, as Mr. Taylor does as well. What I don't understand is the pointless hostility which surfaces when someone doesn't like a certain band. The insults that get thrown around and the "well what have you done?" bullsh**. Just to point this out, I'm sure Slipknot doesn't need an internet defense league, they seem to be doing fine. Most of us here might not be famous musicians, but we are all entitled to like or dislike any music without an immature, highschool-style backlash. If you like the band and aren't creating music then your arguement applies to yourself as well. I don't need to release an album to have an opinion, positive or negative. Or to voice it.

the band corey attacked has sold more records, made more money and are more known worldwide than his band throught both there careers...jesus corey why dont u attack ozzy osbourne next....look if ur a metal fan ur not gonna like or get coldplay, however if ur a music fan and ur not bias and can judge talent and appeal, coldplay is a good.....i guess rock band.....there more pop but whatever......corey has lost his f****n mind...i dont know what drugs hes been doin the last 5 years but hes way off the reservation not just with this attack but with the last 3 records he has been a part of that have gone from bad to worse....vol 3 come whatever may and all hope is gone. Slipknot had a nice 4 year run....99-02....but when 03 came around and people where waiting for the next iowa type album and got vol 3......thats where the ship hit the ice berg........then to top that off the latest cd comes out and...its even worse than volume 3....finally if ur gonna critisize a band or attack them, u might wanna stay in ur category of music, i mean im sure he still considers his band a metal hard rock band, but u dont sh*t on someones artform or music just because u wanna be a bad ass.....the only time an artist should attack another artist is if they ask for it.....or theres some kinda of beef.....its a shame seriously...slipknot had something special in the beginning, but they f****d that up.....

FAN: Thanks for the props man. It wouldn't suprize me at all if KORDOGG's "taste" in music sways closer to coldplay and stone sour than Blind Greed.

KORNDOGG: My reply was to the comment regarding talent. Corey Taylor has trained under the most renowned vocal trainers in the business, yet he still blows out his voice on every tour (usually the first leg of the tour). To me this displays one of two things: 1) He doesn't have the talent to practice what he's been taught to do. 2) He's too stupid to use the tools he was provided. I was giving Corey the benefit of the doubt by saying he is not very talented. Maybe your right. Maybe he's just an idiot. Either way, i've been in the business long enough to know that if you are going to be a singer, your voice is your instrument and you have to take as best care of it as humanly possible. Corey does not.

BlindGreed: I just heard some of your music, it's pretty badass. Your vocals sound VERY James Hetfieldish, but with a darker twist to it, it's pretty sweet.

JSP: Thanks man. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I was never really going for a Hetfield kind of thing, but aparently it's what my chords evolved into during my attempt to create my own sound. Funny thing is, I can't do Metalica covers for sh!t! now lol.

First of all, learn how to use proper grammar and spelling. Second, shut the hell up. You are contradicting yourself within your own statement.

I like both Coldplay and Slipknot, but, I really disagree with Corey here. Everybody has different tastes of music and basically what Corey looks like he is trying to do is to persuade people of the public to not listen to Coldplay which is described as crap?...

The public and Corey could be described as crap!
