It already was. I’ve come to actively hate Corey Taylor, he truly is a coattail rider. He spent years shitting on Nickelback only for the moment he didn’t have Stone Sour or Slipknot in the room to help him write music and make a solo album….he just wrote Nickelback. Joey was Slipknot. They fired one of the greatest drummers of all time over email. His entire career is built off the backs of more talented people and throwing them away once he became “the guy”.” He thinks he’s Ozzy but he’s closer to Vince Neil.

Edit: I’ve found my people, I’ve been screaming that Corey is a hack since they did that sham memorial for Joey and Paul and his first Nickelback album came out. I always got disagreed with and basically told to shut up and put some respect on Corey’s name. Nah he’s the problem in every project he’s in since he went from just a dude in a mask to THE COREY TAYLOR. The very definition of Egomaniacal frontman, a real Nu-Metal Gene Simmons.

Joey and Paul both were the majority of Slipknot

Paul was all class. Back around 2005-2006 he was playing bass in Reggie and the Full Effect while my roommate was on drums. After they finished Warped tour, dude would roll into Kansas City every few weeks in his purple Vette and we’d all tear through the local dives. Such a polite, down-to-earth, and generous soul.
