Corey Taylor lyttää Grammy Awardsit uusimmassa haastattelussaan
Yhdysvaltalaisen metallia soittavan Slipknotin vokalisti Corey Taylor on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Nerdist -nimiselle podcastille, jossa mies lyttää täysin Grammy Awardsit. Miehen mukaan kyseiset palkinnot jaetaan vääryydellä. Slipknot on itse ollut ehdolla kyseisessä tapahtumassa seitsemän kertaa ja voittanut ainoastaan kerran, vuonna 2006 ”Before I Forget” -singlellään kategoriassa ”Best Metal Performance”. Voit lukea Corey Taylorin mietteitä kyseisestä gaalasta tästä:
”Now the ’Best Metal Performance’ looks just like they threw fucking darts… ’Cause I’m looking at it, going, ’Really?'”
He continued: ”I mean, I was stoked that HALESTORM won, because I’m really good friends with those guys and I know what kind of work they’ve put into it. I mean, they came from fucking nothing, and I was really stoked for them. But yeah, at this point, there’s two schools of thought. It’s, like, well, we’re just gonna try and vote for the most obscure Norwegian black metal fucking band… with illegible font. We’re gonna give it to you tonight. Or it’s, like, well, this is everything that has been played on the radio for the last five minutes. It’s, like, ’We’re gonna fucking celebrate you. Blah blah blah.'”
Taylor added: ”Old people vote [on those awards]. I’m convinced that’s the reason we won, is because an old person went, ’SLIPKNOT! I read a magazine article about them. They’ve been around. Here you go. Take it. The kids are gonna be real happy.’ ’Cause you look at it, and you’re, like, fuckin’ JUDAS PRIEST won one for a live version of a song they released 40 years ago, and the live version was released 20 years before that. And they only re-released it because of a box set. And they gave it to them? I’m, like, ’Fucking what?’
”It doesn’t mean anything. I mean, that’s like trying to hit a fucking needle with another needle. You have one metal category, you have one basic rock category, and you’ve got bands like FUN winning it. And I’m, like, ’Really? Show me on the doll where FUN is a rock band.'”
