Slipknot/Stone Sour frontman Corey Taylor has responded to Deicide frontman Glen Benton‘s recent claims and remarks made regarding apparently never following through to take Deicide on tour with Slipknot. As part of his appearance on the Talk Toomey podcast, Benton stated:
“Not to fucking bust balls, but I’ll bust balls. Slipknot: ‘Oh we’re going to take you guys out man, we’re going to take you guys out dude.’ Yeah blow me. That’s what I say to you. Fucking blow me Corey Taylor and all you fags. OK. ‘Oh we’re going to take Deicide out on tour with us and blah blah blah.’ Blowing air up our asses, back in the day You know what, you never did a fucking thing for us. You introduced us at a show once. Great thanks. How about a fucking tour? How about fucking helping us out a little bit? I mean we’ve only been doing this for several years. You guys were like ‘Dude you were what got me started.’ Well you know what, return the fucking favor. You know what I mean?”
Speaking to Loudwire, Taylor has since responded:
“Out of respect to Glen and Deicide, I honestly don’t remember making a promise like that. I’m not saying someone else in the band didn’t say it. All I know is I didn’t. Being the singer I guess I’ll be the target. If he wants to talk specifics we’ll talk specifics. We take submissions for tours. I see them all. Deicide has never submitted for tours, that I can remember. He wants to be pissed at me, go ahead- get in line. Everybody’s pissed at me. But don’t talk shit on my guys- and don’t say shit that isn’t fucking true.”
