Guest Addy Report post Posted January 1, 2003 Ha, I read what Corey was saying about GWAR a few days ago and everyone was posting it on Brockies Guestbook. I just went to Brockies site about 2 minutes ago and found his response. BLUE = WHAT COREY SAID RED = WHAT DAVE SAID Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor's recent public prediction that the group's upcoming studio effort would be their last has touched off a sea of criticism among the band's fans who are hoping that Slipknot will continue to make albums and tour for many years to come. In order to clarify his recent statements and to set the record straight on the subject, Taylor posted the following message this past Friday (Dec. 20) on the Stone Sour message board: "You know me... I really don't care if anybody reads this, believes this or responds with more shit directed at me. I guess I'll set the record straight. "When I talk about the 'Knot, it is never pessimistic. It is pragmatic. It is never in a negative way, it is just how it is. NONE OF YOU HAVE ANY IDEA what goes on behind the curtain of that band. Do you know how many people from Slipknot I've talked to, besides [stone Sour bandmate] Jim [Root], in the last six months? ONE. You wanna tell me how I'm supposed to feel upbeat about a band that is eating itself? "First of all, no one can touch what we did in the 'Knot. We accomplished something everyone said we couldn't do. We put out two of the best albums, in my opinion, of all time. I believe we can do one more album and go out on a high note. But as far as hanging out after we have lost our relevance? NEVER. I got one fucking word for you: GWAR. I will never do that, and I would never let that happen to a band I bled and almost went blind in one eye for, not to mention nearly losing my voice and losing the ability to sing. "It's this simple: I love the 'Knot. I have more than earned the right to talk about the future of the band, especially when there is so much shit going on behind the scenes that thankfully you guys don't see, and I would do everything in my power to keep from you, because if you don't like what I say (and when taken out of context, indeed it does appear like I'm talking shit) you would lose your fucking minds if you heard the REAL shit. "I have more respect for you guys than that. "This is true: there will be another Slipknot album, and another Slipknot tour. If you want me to lie to you, I'll tell you every-fucking-thing is absolutely hunky dorey. But if you know anything about me, I hate lies, and I don't like getting into the habit. I love you guys, but sometimes shit happens. Lucky for you, most of the shit will happen all over me. "As I was, Corey" Well, Corey, if I may retort, I feel you would be better served keeping your whining trap shut. Everytime I read anything you say it is some piss-assed sulky BULLSHIT about how somebody had a fake laminate or how hot your overalls are or how you almost went blind over your band, didn't talk to each other for years or whatever. WAAAAAHHH! Grow up you big baby! We don't care about your rock 'n' roll soap opera, and your self-indulgent hissy-fits dilute and distract from the alleged potency of "the Knot". Take a page from Devo or GWAR and stick with the characters and the image they create. They are much more interesting than you are (which isn't saying much). But how could I doubt someone who has created "two of the best albums of all time". I guess you are also the guy who decides who makes the best cheesesteaks or serves the "greatest slice in town". My point is that self-annointed praise is bullshit! You are always going on about how great you are--cut it out! Do you think you're Muhammed Ali or what? I can just imagine your embarrassed bandmates eyes rolling behind their masks, as you launch into yet another long-winded and ultimately asinine tirade, the delivery of which has unfortunately become your trademark. No wonder they don't talk to you. And please stop saying "the Knot", it sounds stupid, like "the Nuge", or "the Maiden". And as far as relevance is concerned, I have one word for you--GWAR. The mere fact that you would link relevance with a word that means nothing underscores your moronic observations as actually being retarded. If you don't believe me, look up GWAR in the dictionary. Cultural events have relevance far longer than their actual occurrence, which means that even your crummy band will have relevance long after you break up, which will hopefully be soon. And GWAR will still be there, leading the insulting reverie, a festering stool on the doorstep of the music industry, unmarred and eternally stinky. It delights me no end that you think GWAR sucks. Maybe you can whine about it some more and we can get some free publicity. You are just too funny. A ninny placed on a podium is a ninny nonetheless. It's too bad that your band is "eating itself". You should eat a bowl of dick, maybe that would help. Long after "the Knot" has been reduced to a series of protracted legal battles, GWAR will remain an indelible blot on the fabric of our lives, and I will remain a dedicated, obscure, and in my own manner, relevent artist. People will eternally remember you as the scary clowns who and had the lead-singer that whined like a little bitch everytime he got in print. Maybe you'll think GWAR is relevent when Oderus rams his scaly cock up your ass, that is if you can stop orgasming for five seconds. Your thoughts? I think that Dave was correct with everything he said and Corey should stop his whining. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest IDrinkRatsMilk Report post Posted January 1, 2003 Dave certainly has a way with words. I especially agree with his ripping on Corey for calling his band The Knot. I never liked Slipknot anyway, and so have never read anything any of them said, but damn, he's full of himself. Slipknot isn't the fucking Beatles. They're not even Marilyn Manson.

Guest CoreyLazarus416 Report post Posted January 1, 2003 I've read it...at Bolt's metal board...we always got an influx of mallfucks every other week. Seems that when a week has passed, the mallfucks come back. Oh well, it's funny to tear them new ones. But, yeah. GWAR! GWAR! GWAR! GWAR! Brockie has just SCHOOLED you, Taylor. You may now take your complimentary ham sandwich and please exit the line. "Maybe you'll think GWAR is relevent when Oderus rams his scaly cock up your ass, that is if you can stop orgasming for five seconds." BEST...LINE...EVER...

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 1, 2003 Yeah, see. There's a reason why Gwar was my favorite band in the whole wide world for years. Deflating the self-created bubble of importance around a shitty musician is something I've long dreamed of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Stanley 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2003 HA HA HA Stone Sour and "The Knot" fucking suck, get over it "Corey" thats why the Stone Sour concert here DREW 40 PEOPLE! 40 people? Damn, I'm pretty sure that Warrant can outdraw that, and they play fucking Bowling Alleys. Warrant, LA Guns, RATT & Dokken drew over 2,000 here. Three Doors Down did like a thousand as well.

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 2, 2003 As much as I don't care for them, there have to be som extenuating circumstances surrounding that Stone Sour concert. That single is all over the place and huge and everything. Fucking Jackyl came to Abilene shortly before I left and drew more than 40 people. If Jackyl, a band long past whatever relevance they held, can draw a decent crowd in a notoriously anti-live music town like Abilene, there's no way Stone Sour couldn't draw more than that in any town in America. There must have been a snow storm or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul Stanley 0 Report post Posted January 2, 2003 There was nothing wrong that night, and the concert was in Lubbock..and Jackyl drew more people than they did both times they came here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Kinetic Report post Posted January 2, 2003 Jackyl, I'd imagine, drew more people in Lubbock than they did in Abilene. At least the last time. I think the PA system blew out during the second song, which caused the concert to rather abruptly end. I was not there, but this is what I've heard. NOW...the question is did this Stone Sour concert take place before or after "Bother" became a big hit? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Sassquatch Report post Posted January 2, 2003 Back when I was a freshmen in high school, I thought GWAR were the baddest band in the land when I first heard them thanks to a friend of mine. Over the years my interest in GWAR has waned but things like this from GWAR crack me up. I have never been to a GWAR show but from all I can tell they have some of the craziest and wild concerts out of any band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest NoCalMike Report post Posted January 2, 2003 Slipknot was a pretty cool band, however Stone Sour is the lamest piece of shit ever. Corey should have never made that travesty of a song. Everytime I am at work and they have on the rock station, and it comes on, I can't help but get physically ill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
