: Slipknot/Stone Sour singer Corey Taylor has once again spoken out
: in defense of illegal music downloading, insisting that no one
: wants to pay for "crap" new music. He tells Britain's
: Kerrang! magazine, "I have a completely different take on
: this from a lot of other people. A lot of people in the industry
: want to blame downloading for the state of [the music business],
: but I think that if most music wasn't shit to begin with people
: wouldn't be downloading this stuff for free."
:
: He continues, "Seriously, who the f*ck wants to risk
: hard-earned money on music that's maybe 98 percent crap? I'm not
: going to. And I still buy new albums. People ask what my
: favorite new album is and nine times out of 10, I don't f*cking
: have one. Music is garbage."
:
: Taylor's latest comments echo those he made back in 2008 when he
: told Kerrang!, "Why would you blame [people who download
: music]? Half the f*cking 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 added. "I think it's the quality of the
: product. If record companies would stop giving any f*cking mook
: on the street with a fringe a record deal or their own record
: label, maybe you would sell more f*cking albums, dipshits."
