Slipknot's Corey Taylor Calls Out Gimmick Criticism


. (TeamRock Radio) Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has slammed those who claim the band's masks are just a gimmick. And he's underlined that it's unlikely they'll ever perform without their headgear.

The band are currently on the road in support of .5: The Gray Chapter, their first release since the death of bassist Paul Gray in 2010. They haven't officially confirmed the names of their new bassist and drummer, and haven't decided whether the pair will become permanent additions.

Taylor tells Linea Rock: "To everyone who thinks it's just a gimmick - live in it and you tell me it's a gimmick, you sh*theads." He also says: "I don't think you'll ever see a Slipknot 'unmasked' tour. Everybody asks me that. It's such a part of what we do and it helps us really embrace the music. I couldn't see that happening." Read more here.
