Yesterday (19), Nickelback frontman Chad Kroeger threw a few punches at both of Corey Taylor’s bands, Stone Sour and Slipknot. He called Stone Sour “Nickelback lite”, and stated “music shouldn’t come with a gimmick,” referring towards Slipknot’s masks. Yesterday, Taylor managed to respond to Kroeger through an in-studio appearance on the Arizona radio station KUPD.
Taylor initially started by referring to Kroeger as an “idiot” and it went downhill from there:
“You know what? I’ve never said it was easy to write a hit song. I don’t know what the hell planet he’s living on. Apparently it’s Planet Kroeger, and there must be good weed there, ’cause he’s an idiot.”
The frontman discussed his urge to instantly share his response, however, after reading comments he realized he didn’t have to say anything since “he is not a liked person.” In regards to the Slipknot comments, Taylor stated:
“You can run your mouth all you want. All I know is I’ve been voted ‘Sexiest Dude In Rock’ wearing a mask. You’ve been voted ‘Ugliest Dude In Rock’ twice without one. Stick that up your ass.”
When it comes to Nickelback, he admitted he has no issues with the band or other members saying:
“I love Mike [Kroeger], I love… Everybody else in that band I’m very, very cool with; I’ve hung out with them. It’s just ‘Face Like A Foot’ who I can’t really hang out with. He’s got a face like a foot. Am I wrong?”
He continued:
“See, that’s the hard thing: I can’t even say anything about the band, Nickelback, because none of ’em have an issue with us. It’s him. So, dude, curl up in bed with your Hello Kitty pillow and shut up.”
In regards to their shared label, Roadrunner Records, he added:
“Let’s just say Roadrunner took all the Slipknot money and gave it to Nickelback to sign them. That’s all I’m gonna say about it.”
