During a recent appearance on the “Let There Be Talk,” SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor was asked how his hometown of Las Vegas has handled the coronavirus pandemic.
“It burned up again, because our mayor is a dipsh*t,” Corey responded. “This thing is gonna f*cking — it’s gonna keep doing that until it evens out, man. It’s gonna keep doing it until we get a vaccine, to be honest, or at least something that can prevent.
“Vegas, it’s up and down. There are still a bunch of f*cking mooks with no masks on at the casinos. And, actually, the people who were there — tourists or visitors or whatever — were giving sh*t to people who were wearing masks. That was enough for me to just go, ‘You know what, man? F*ck you!’
“It’s, like, not everything has to be a political f*cking statement. It’s better to just be cautious,” he continued. “It’s better to be smart. You wanna walk around with no f*cking mask on, you go ahead and spin the barrel, and let’s see how many times you can click it. But these people who are actually trying to be preventive, there’s no reason for you to give them a rash of sh*t — they weren’t f*cking saying anything to you. It’s just ridiculous, man.
Corey added: “That’s the sh*t that people aren’t talking about — the fact that some people are just minding their own f*cking business, and a bunch of garbage f*cking falls out of people’s faces, and it just keeps the f*cking wheel spinning. Maybe if we all just kind of kept some sh*t to ourselves, maybe sh*t would f*cking quiet down.”
Corey Taylor‘s upcoming solo album, CMFT, will be released on October 2nd via Roadrunner Records. You can pre-order album here.
