Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor said last December that Donald Trump running for president was the worst thing he'd seen in pop culture in 2015. Now he tells Rolling Stone he's seen enough of the GOP candidate riling up "base, ugly bigotry and racism" that he's reached a breaking point.
"The thing that bothered me was that people were taking Trump seriously," Taylor says Wednesday, during an interview about his new Beats 1 radio show on which freedom of speech was recently a talking point. "I'm not going to let that [racism] stand. I may have bullshitted myself into thinking we were a little further ahead when it comes to race, but what we're seeing right now is a lot of the far right fringe coming out of the woodwork and wearing their hatred right on their sleeves. That cannot be what our legacy is. Too many people died during the Civil War, during the Civil Rights Movement. We should not be asking, 'Jesus Christ, what decade is this? How is this OK?'"

I still think that’s an urban legend. The Kingsmen’s version of Louie Louie was pretty undiscernable, but it was a cover of a Richard Berry song from a few years before, and in that version, you could tell exactly what the lyrics were.
From FBI.gov:
In 1963, a rock group named the Kingsmen recorded the song Louie, Louie. The popularity of the song and difficulty in discerning the lyrics led some people to suspect the song was obscene. The FBI was asked to investigate whether or not those involved with the song violated laws against the interstate transportation of obscene material. The limited investigation lasted from February to May 1964 and discovered no evidence of obscenity.
Never heard of him or them. So, do not care.
Wow, that really makes a difference to me. Anyway, I thought half of Slipknot was dead.
Oh man, if he ever found all that out, he go emo!
Consider this a "trigger warning" for your special snowflake a$$ for the next 9 years. Get over it, princess.
WtP.
Listen to Clarence Carter do the original version of “Truckin’”. Makes Kendricks’ version seem like a children’s bedtime story.
Heard him do it at a concert with B.B. King and Bobby “Blue” Bland at DAR Hall in DC in the 1990’s.
THE HOUSE WAS A ROCKIN’!
Should be “he’d go emo”. Doh!
Speaking in the past tense is stupid when everything is in the present.
One is more often known by one’s enemies than his friends
Its “mind over matter”.. I don’t mind because Slipknot doesn’t matter!
I’ve got another knot I’d like to show slipsnot.
Which one’s knot slipped?
All of them
Undercurrant that destroys the youth much like heroin
How can pop culture artists define offensive? That is kinda funny.
Thank goodness
