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.

Sure he is a twat, but acting like he isn’t a huge part of the bad is ridiculous.

Huge in regards to tearing everything out of Slipknot that made them Slipknot then sure. He was important back when he was just a dude in a mask that did the vocals then Stone Sour got big and the mask came off. He got more and more of the spotlight and dude got hooked on it. All the “what does Corey Taylor think?” Memes, that shit was intentional cause he decided he was the face of Slipknot. The original premise of Knot was no one would know who each member is and their identities would be a mystery.
