Corey Taylor Doesn't Give A Shit About Tidal Or Apple Music

Honest, as usual.

He's never been one to hold back on his emotions and Slipknot fronntman Corey Taylor was at it again today when asked about his thoughts on the music streaming services Tidal and the upcoming Apple Music

Speaking to NME, the 41-year-old musician said he has no interest in his band joining the new services because: "they can't use our music to sell anything".

"That's fine with me, you know, I don't give a shit, let the fucking Taylor Shits and One Erections sell their fucking sodas and edible panties, I don't give a shit about any of that," Taylor said. 

"The second that I'm writing music written specifically to sell somebody a fucking motorcycle boot, that's it for me, I’m done, I’m fucking out."

Taylor concedes that it is impossible to keep up with technology and he is surprised people are still managing to keep up with the new services and programs available to them.

"I’m surprised people haven't just dropped their tools and been like fuck it, I'm out."

Just a few weeks ago, Taylor was brutally candid about his views on the current state of rock'n'roll and targeted punk-rock band, Fall Out Boy while promoting his new book, You're Making Me Hate You: A Cantankerous Look At The Common Misconception That Humans Have Any Common Sense Left

Meanwhile, Slipknot are currently touring through Europe as part of their latest world tour.
