Slipknot Frontman Hates Him Some Coldplay
If you thought Slipknot's Corey Taylor might be a closet Coldplay fan, you can lay that ridiculous notion to rest. The masked metal man described the British band's 'Viva La Vida or Death and All His Friends' as "one of the most self-celebratory pieces of s--- I've ever f---ing heard in my entire f---ing life."
A guest on MTV UK, Taylor was asked to give his opinion on the album when he let loose with criticism that deserves a Parental Advisory sticker. He made sure to address singer Chris Martin personally, saying, "Go suck a f---ing d---. Are you watching, Martin? Suck it. Go eat a bag of s---." To drive his point home, he continued, "I f---ing hate that album. It's music to wipe your ass to."
Martin has yet to respond to the slagging of his megahit album. Somewhere, Joe Satriani is smiling.

i'm not a coldplay fan, but i would rather listen to coldplay on a loop for the rest of my life than hear one song by slipknot. are they serious about calling that shit music? metal my ass. they are so fucking adorably mainstream it's not funny- sounds like all the other garbage in the same "genre." f**k you slipknot- you're easily the worst "band" in history. congratulations!

what a sh itty, third rate, loser band won't do for a little publicity. Even if you don't like someone's music, isn't keeping your trap shut a better way to treat your fellow man. Your band is a total disgrace to the metal genre.

slipknots a lot better then some of the other fucking garbage out there
bishounenmageat 12-25-2008
While I disagree with the previous comment. I am forced to say WTF, Corey? After starting Stone Sour and ruining Slipknot he has the nerve to call out anyone on their music. Even if "Viva la Vida" is stolen from various sources after the musical abortion that was Slipknots latest album and the recent radio friendly Stone Sour hits Corey needs to shut the fuck up!
Tonyat 12-25-2008
you need to shut the fuck up too

slipknot=not nearly any kind of artistry or musicality worthy of criticizing anyone. end of story

fuck off

You know what? I don't like listening to Slipknot either, but I respect the hell out of them. They've been together, with the same lineup of nine guys for nine years. How many other bands have done that? That aside, even if you don't like their music at least they write their own instead of ripping off other peoples music...

exactly!!!!

i definetly dont like slipknot, but coldplay is a wannabe, poser, plagiarizing loser of a band and are a disgrace to music.

Coldplay havent been charged yet, slipknot music is crap, who could listen to it? I dont dislike Metal, theres is not even real metal.
Tonyat 12-25-2008
i would listen to it, the millions of people who like slipknot would listen to it. How the fuck are they not real metal?
Tonyat 12-25-2008
fuck you idiots, slipknots fucking awesome, they are not a disgrace to metal, and if you dont like this then go fucking die. Coldplay sucks dick, thats all there is to it.
*Mystique*at 12-26-2008
Anybody who still listens to Slipknot has serious problems. Go die because we don't like Slipknot? Looks like someone has been listening to their music in their lonely, dark bedroom for way too long!
bishounenmageat 12-27-2008
Dud you need to calm the fuck down and move out of your parents basement. You're an ignorant piece of garbage who can't form a reasonable arguement so just tell people to go die. Time to grow up and get a brain.

I am sure Mr. Martin couldn't care less for the
criticisms. Just plain jealousy.
tmmybrklynat 12-25-2008
Doesn't anyone have a vocabulary without using the f word anymore? Low mentality is the reason. They obviously don't read enough to know more descriptive words. Their comments are totally boring - don't bother writing.
camat 12-25-2008
Slipknot is one of the worst bands around. They've sold how many CDs compared to Coldplay? Who cares what their screamer thinks, his opinion is just like his music...garbage.
Sincadoat 12-25-2008
Let's see here. You know what, you're totally right Tony. I mean c'mon Slipknots so great and been around for so long. I mean hell they must put U2, or Aerosmith and idk how many other bands that have been around since god knows when; to shame. YOU ARE SO RIGHT! I guess spending your time policing the internet, and talking like a illegitimate bastard does that. No wonder... I respect musicians and their work. Except for 'rap' thats a whole plagiaristic garbage bin in itself its not even funny. I digress though, 70s and 80s music is where its at. The whole mainstream and copy paste music that is today is ok, but its just that. Whether you want to accept it or not folks. Its just like your fashion of today. Hell, even history. It repeats itself. So do yourselves a favor, stfu, and let them deal with it themselves.
