King Fucktard
Now I’m not the biggest Coldplay fan in the world, but I enjoy their music. This week, King of the Inbred White Trash Retards Corey Taylor was interviewed on British television and decided to take the opportunity to let us know how he feels about the new Coldplay record (as if any of us cared).
“That is one of the most self-celebratory pieces of **** I’ve ever f**king heard in my entire f**king life.
“Go suck a f**king ****. Are you watching Martin? Suck it. Go eat a bag of ****.
“I f**king hate that album. It’s music to wipe your ass to.”
Music to wipe your ass to. What a coincidence…thats EXACTLY what I think every time I hear a SlipKnot song. Had anyone I respected musically been the person to criticize the new Coldplay, I probably would have let it go. But the fact that it was Corey Taylor just made my blood boil. This is coming from a guy that has a TRASH CAN player in his band. He couldn’t even give a valid reason for not liking it aside from the fact that it was “self-celebratory.” Oh yeah, Corey, your percussionist’s statement about this past summer’s Mayhem Fest wasn’t self-celebratory at all.
“It’s a bunch of bands opening for Slipknot,” Crahan told Metal File last week, during a brief break from the studio, where the band is working on its fourth, still-untitled LP, which should arrive in stores by summer’s end. “We’re headlining, as it should be. Sorry — it’s a Slipknot show, kids. We’ve been gone for two years, and you’ve all had the chance to do what you’re going to do. But now we’re back; step in line. That’s what’s up. We’re the DNA that keeps whatever cell this is moving. Period. “With me, I’ve been out with a lot of bands, and I don’t care,” he continued. “We’re back, and it just happens to be this thing called the Rockstar Energy Mayhem festival. That’s cool. But we didn’t want them, they wanted us. Everyone wants our f—ing money and our kids. We’re playing a show, and a bunch of great bands are playing too. But we’re back, so get out of our way. Call it what you will, but we’re headlining. It’s our show, and we’re here to kill you.”
In summation, SlipKnot is one of the biggest pieces of **** I’ve ever f**king heard in my entire f**king life. Go suck a f**king ****. Are you reading, Taylor? Suck it. Go eat a bag of ****.

The Grammy nominee announcements once again proved how out of touch the more-than-likely 85 year-old voters are with whats really going on in music. However, I will say that this years nomination leaders are a just a little better than usual (Lil’ Wayne, Coldplay and Radiohead). But let’s focus on a few specific categories here.
First, lets start with New Artists, because this award ALWAYS disappoints. This years nominees are:
- Adele
- Duffy
- Jonas Brothers
- Lady Antebellum
- Jazmine Sullivan
Ok. Its really sad that the only artist on this list whose name I recognize is the Jonas Brothers. Who the hell ARE the rest of these people? After doing some quick internet research (i.e. – going to Wikipedia and checking these artists numbers for the past year), I found that the only one of these artists that’s really done well in THIS COUNTRY (the country where the Grammys take place) are the Jonas Brothers. Which would be the reason why they are the only ones I have heard of. It amazes me that a decent amount of people in this country still watch the Grammys every year given the majority of nominees aren’t even popular here. Not that I am saying only popular music should be nominated, but something’s not adding up here.
Lets move on to something I am more at liberty to talk shit about: the rock category nominees. Here are the nominees for Rock Album of the Year:
- Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends
Coldplay
[Capitol Records] - Rock N Roll Jesus
Kid Rock
[Atlantic] - Only By The Night
Kings Of Leon
[RCA Records] - Death Magnetic
Metallica
[Warner Bros.] - Consolers Of The Lonely
The Raconteurs
[Third Man/Warner Bros.]
Ok, now I have to give them props for the nominations of Coldplay, Kings of Leon and the Raconteurs. Three bands I have absolutely no problems with. HOWEVER, its clear that two of these artists do not belong here. Kid Rock???!!!! Do people even still listen to this guy? Nominating Kid Rock for a Grammy is like nominating George W. Bush for a “World Leader of the Decade” award. And don’t even get me started on Metallica. Death Magnetic is (as I predicted before its release) the most god-awful piece of shit I have ever heard. The fact that it was even CONSIDERED for being nominated is a tragedy.
While we’re talking about Metallica, let’s talk about the category that pissed me off the most: Best Metal Performance:
- Heroes Of Our Time
DragonForce
[Roadrunner Records] - Nostradamus
Judas Priest
Track from: Nostradamus
[Epic] - My Apocalypse
Metallica
Track from: Death Magnetic
[Warner Bros.] - Under My Thumb
Ministry
Track from: Cover Up
[Megaforce Records] - Psychosocial
Slipknot
[Roadrunner Records]
Wow. If I had to pick one category that these voters DEFINITELY know nothing about, it’s metal. However, I once again have to recognize that they did pick Dragonforce and I don’t care what anyone says about that band….YOU try playing “Through The Fire And The Flames” on Guitar Hero 3. But seriously, SlipKnot???? I can name about 10 other metal bands that released music this year that should have gotten Grammy noms over these ‘tards. in fact, here they are:
In any case the bottom line is, the Grammys are still lame. I won’t be watching them. But here is a list of the rest of the nominees if you wanna check it out.
