Slipknot and Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has once again slammed U.S. President Donald Trump calling him and his supporters morons.
“I had to start my book America 51 over twice because of what happened,” Corey told The Fader. I could not believe that people would vote for a f—king moron like him. That’s what insults me the most.
“You can paint him as racist, or egotistical, or a tyrant, or all of this s—t: He’s a moron, and the people who voted for him? F—king morons too. It doesn’t matter why they voted for him, whether they are racist, or they want money.
“They’ve done more to set us back even further globally than anything I’ve ever seen in my lifetime – and that’s coming from somebody who wrote a whole song about George W. Bush! This guy, it’s going to take us 20 years to f*cking undo half the sh*t that he’s done.”
He added: “Honestly, I come at it from a fan standpoint. Most of our fans are of colour, are from different countries, speak different languages, love different people. I don’t want my fans getting killed. I don’t want my kids getting killed.”
“And the worst thing is that it has emboldened racism. And people can talk that and fight me on that all they want. I called it in my book. I’m seeing it now. Why do you think that in All Out Life I said, ‘I’m tired of being right about everything that I’ve said’? It’s because I am. It sucks.”
Slipknot‘s latest album, We Are Not Your Kind, was released on August 9 via Roadrunner Records. Album was once again recorded at a Los Angeles studio with producer Greg Fidelman, who engineered and mixed SLIPKNOT‘s 2004 album “Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)” and helmed 2014’s “.5: The Gray Chapter.”
