In case you didn't already know, Slipknot's Corey Taylor doesn't care about Grammy Awards. Despite winning in 2006 for "Before I Forget" and being nominated multiple times for Best Metal Performance, Taylor isn't into the whole awards scene. The Stone Sour singer went off on the Grammys in a recent interview for the Nerdist Podcast, Blabbermouth notes.
Taylor said he was excited for fellow rockers Halestorm when they took the Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Performance last year (they changed the category in 2011), but he really doesn't like thinking about how the voting process goes.
"But yeah, at this point, there's two schools of thought," he explained. "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.'"
The "Wait and Bleed" singer is convinced that the only reason his band won in 2006 is because old people vote on the awards, and they probably just saw Slipknot in a magazine.
"It doesn't mean anything," he added. "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."
Taylor recently released his fifth record with Slipknot titled .5: The Gray Chapter. It made it to number one on the Billboard 200, so maybe the boys will be up for another Grammy.
The frontman also recently talked about the band's new masks in another interview, offering no hint about the identities of the new bassist and drummer.
