Corey Taylor Slams Coldplay

2008-12-19 by Meatplow | 105 Comments
During a recent television interview on MTV2 Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has launched an all out verbal attack on Coldplay's latest album Viva La Vida.

Quote:
“That is one of the most self-celebratory pieces of **** I’ve ever ******* heard in my entire ******* life, go suck a ******* ****. Are you watching Martin? Suck it. Go eat a bag of ****. I ******* hate that album. It’s music to wipe your ass to.”
Coldplay's fourth record is the fastest selling album in the UK this year, spending four weeks at number one when it was released in June. It has also topped the charts in 35 other countries, and has sold over two million copies in the US alone.

You yourself, with the quotation marks admit that this isn't news (the way I see it). So what is it doing on a news page? What is the significance of Taylor's opinion in this situation? Does he explain how Viva could have been better or does he curse the band for no apparent reason other than the fact that an extremely famous band has released an extremely self-aware record? Does he explain why he is so mad? Is there a point to anything this man ever says? I refuse to censor myself from the downsides of human culture; its difficult to win a battle when you don't know your enemy.This Message Edited On 12.19.08

I find it strange how you've honed in on Corey Taylor just from this article when there are clearly much poorer role models in music and general pop culture today, and even worse people you could encounter in everyday life (murderers, rapists, gang members).

Enjoying life has nothing to do with writing news articles about pointless statements of anger...I don't see how that particular correlation was made. And the definition of 'idiocy' that I've found says 'utterly senseless or foolish behavior; a stupid or foolish act, statement, etc.' from dictionary.com which is usually quite a reliable source. Senseless isn't an aspect of me, neither is foolish behavior, I do think its funny though that once somebody has an opinion that doesn't coincide with the general community of this website they are labeled as a troll. I think a lot of you need to re-think your definition of an internet troll.

And I am painfully un-British.This Message Edited On 12.19.08

: O What is this? I believe this is a reasonable question, I think we're making headway. Well one of you can read. My opinion on this news article is one that intends to dismiss senseless news articles that have nothing to do with music, which this site claims to represent.

Well you can't hear me so I don't exactly blame you. But even though I am part British, I swear I'm not a troll. I just disapprove of articles whose main focus is this:

“That is one of the most self-celebratory pieces of **** I’ve ever ******* heard in my entire ******* life, go suck a ******* ****. Are you watching Martin? Suck it. Go eat a bag of ****. I ******* hate that album. It’s music to wipe your *** to.”

Think about that for a second. Does it take more than a second? No. Was it worth it? I'm certainly doubtful of that.

You know, surprisingly, I think I agree with heyseuss on this one. Even though I like both Slipknot and Coldplay, I found nothing musically relevant with this article. Hell, even Axl Rose suing Activision had more relevancy than this did. I have learned nothing about what Slipknot's about to do, nor have I learned anything of what Coldplay's up to. All I know is that Corey Taylor doesn't like Coldplay's new album. Oooooh, so interesting.

You show your immaturity and inability to process original thoughts when you use the word 'gay' as an insult. If you think I'm annoying, there isn't much I can do about that, perhaps you simply do not appreciate my personality, which can be natural. And if one fails to administer his or her opinion rightfully the first time, there is no valid reason as to why one should stop trying.

Heyseuss you clearly misunderstand my use of the word 'gay'. It seriously has nothing to do with immaturity - I used it for humorous effect at first to take a 'playful swipe' at Hanson and then thought I'd just stick with the running idea of 'gay'.

The idea of me being unable to process original thoughts is quite simply ridiculous, and if you truly knew me which ofc you never will, you would understand that.

heyseuss is a douche, he tries too hard for a start and his use of slightly 'higher language' is normally nonsensical, and his ignorance of certain issues is plain irritating. And the British Empire was ofc imperialistic and made some bad decisions but can't be considered 'cruel' by any means.

Yea...and Soulja boy is culturally relevant this year as well. What's your point? Sure his music is awful, but that has nothing to do with relevance.
If at any point you sold more music that anyone else in the world on a given week...I'd say that qualifies as relevant...not good...but relevant.

Lol, we never studied the British Empire in history. Everything I know is from personal research which I did quite a lot of when I was a bit younger. Agreed the British Empire did some wrong things but as a whole it can't be considered cruel. Hitler's 'Empire' (I use the term lightly) was cruel. But going further back in history there have been empires that could be considered cruel, although most of the time it is kind of debatable.
Also, I never said you were a nonsensical person, I merely stated that occasionally when you write you say things that make little to no sense. This Message Edited On 12.19.08

Say what you will about Coldplay, Viva La Vida was a much more diverse album. Slipknot are hardly innovators within or outside their genre. At least Coldplay listened to the chief criticisms and made an attempt to spice up their sound even if it won't turn any new heads.
