Slipknot Singer Blames Record Labels For Illegal Downloading

For signing bad bands...

Slipknot Singer Blames Record Labels For Illegal Downloading Add to My Fav Bands List

Slipknot front man Corey Taylor has revealed that he blames the record labels for rise in illegal downloading.

"Why would you blame [people who download music]?", stated Taylor to Kerrang Magazine.

“Half the fucking albums that are out there are shit. I don't download, but at the same time, I don't buy new music 'cause it all sucks.”

“Okay, there's a handful of bands that I buy, but other than that, I just buy old shit because old shit is good. Sorry!”

"People wanna blame the decline of album sales on downloading, I think it's actually the record companies' fault," he continued.

"I think it's the quality of the product. If record companies would stop giving any fucking mook on the street with a fringe a record deal or their own record label, maybe you would sell more fucking albums, dipshits."

Slipknot’s latest effort, ‘All Hope Is Gone’ debuted at #1 on the Billboard charts edging over Los Angeles rapper The Game by 1,134 copies.
