In a brand new interview with Metal Hammer, SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR frontman Corey Taylor was asked what he thinks about the “What Does Corey Taylor Think” meme, to which he responded:
“I think it’s hilarious. It’s funny, because people act like I just toot my own f*cking horn or chime in. I only give my opinion when people like you ask – I’m not online doing this sh*t. I think that meme is in reaction to the fact that my opinion gets picked up by a million f*ckin’ media outlets, and then it’s turned into a thousand different news stories, and it’s taken so far out of f*cking context that you have to trace it all the way back to the source material to figure out what’s being said.”
When asked is it annoying when it happens, he says: “It’s a pain in my a—s, however the meme is hilarious. I love that it’s used in a way that takes the piss out of me but also takes the piss out of other people as well. It’s saying, ‘Stop doing this clickbait bullsh*t, we don’t care. If we did care, we would’ve read the f*cking interview.’ I think it’s funny.”
He was also asked if it ever pisses him off: “A little bit, but I get over it – you have to have thick skin in this business. If I had a dollar for every time I’ve been made fun of, screamed at or talked sh*t about, I wouldn’t need to do this gig, or I’d be doing it at a whole other opulent level, coming in a gold f*cking limo handing out titles for everyone!”
