SLIPKNOT Frontman Corey Taylor - "People Dog Me Now But They'll Love Me Later, And It's Just The Way It's Always Been"

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor is featured in a new interview with XFM's Ian Camfield discussing the band's new album, 5: The Gray Chapter, and the buzz surrounding it caused by the fans.

Taylor: "I've always said I'd rather have people talking about me, whether it's negative or positive, than not talking at all, because as long as your name's in that conversation it's carrying on the legacy. And trust me, I'm one of the most hated dudes right now. You have no idea. The stuff that's coming out of some of these people's mouth. If I took any of it seriously, I wouldn't be on the mic with you right now, I'd be curled up in a foetal position on my bed, sucking on my own thumb, because it's ridiculous."

"You just kind of have to take it and roll with it. People dog me now but they'll love me later, and it's just the way it's always been."
