Slipknot’s Corey Taylor made his ShipRocked debut this month, complete with an audience Q&A portion during which the singer advised Machine Gun Kelly to “suck every inch of my dick.”
As spotted by Loudwire over the weekend, a fan asked Taylor about the 2021 headlines-inspiring feud, prompting the CMFT artist to reiterate a number of timeline clarifications about the back-and-forth. After stating that he only initially agreed to even consider the would-be collab at the center of previous comments between the two out of “respect for” Travis Barker, Taylor reflected on a widely excerpted MGK interview that set him off.
“I mean, spit is coming out of his face and I’m watching it and I’m going, you fuck,” Taylor, who was on the bill for the cruise experience in a solo-billed capacity, said of his reaction to the Rock This With Allison Hagendorf interview in question. “You’ve been here for five minutes, basically, and you’re gonna fuckin’ run your mouth about bands that have been doing this for 20 fucking years?”
From there, Taylor addressed MGK’s onstage comments at Riot Fest in Chicago last September, arguing that the Born With Horns singer “wasn’t happy” about Slipknot’s simultaneous crowd size.
According to Taylor, MGK is the one who initiated their public back-and-forth. Toward the end of the comments-capturing clip below, the Stone Sour co-founder circled back around to the MGK comments that most bothered him.
“You don’t get to walk into a genre with the history and the work and the fact that this genre really doesn’t get the fucking respect that it deserves, you don’t get to walk in as some weird substitute teacher and pretend like you can tell us what to wear. … How about you suck every inch of my dick?” Taylor said.
MGK and Barker’s presumably Taylorless Born With Horns album is due out later this year. Slipknot, meanwhile, is also expected to be dropping a new album this year, marking the follow-up to 2019’s We Are Not Your Kind.
