Corey Taylor says he hates “all new rock for the most part.” He made the admission during his recent appearance on the podcast Cutter’s Rockcast adding that he's become “the worst old fogey dude shaking his cane ever” when it comes to his taste in music these days.
Taylor said, “I look at some of these bands that sound like this or sound like that or sound like the other guy, and it’s just, like, well, they obviously listened to two albums that have been out for a minute, but the ones that really frustrate me are the ones that they take something that’s been around forever and then just basically rework it and call it new — even though it’s completely derivative. You know the band they’re ripping off — they’re not even trying to rip off a bunch of bands; they’re ripping off one band.”
He added, “I’m just as bad. I’m 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 — and I think he knows who he is. But that’s another story. I’m the worst. And I hate everything. And people are used to that with me, though.”
In a separate interview with Kerrang! Radio, Taylor said fans can expect “massive” news from Slipknot in the “next month or so,” adding that if it's safe to do so, Slipknot will tour the U.S. beginning in September.
