Slipknot's frontman slams Taylor Swift and One Direction

Rocker Corey Taylor, who fronts Slipknot, has slammed artists such as Taylor Swift and One Direction for allowing their music to be used for commercial gain. 

Speaking to the NME about the war between streaming services Spotify, Tidal and now Apple Music, he explained that it disgusts him to think that people willingly offer up their music to sell products and he would never allow his own material to meet the same sad fate:

"I don't give a s**t, let the f***ing Taylor S**ts and One Erections sell their f***ing sodas and edible panties, I don't give a s**t about any of that. The second that I'm writing music written specifically to sell somebody a f***ing motorcycle boot, that's it for me, I'm done, I'm f***ing out."

When asked if he would back Spotify, Tidal or Apple Music, Taylor added: "Of course not, because they can't use our music to sell anything. I thought the big thing was between Tidal and Spotify, I never even realised that there's now a f***ing third player on the f***ing rack. It's so hard to keep up with the way technology's f***ing going anymore. I'm surprised people haven't just dropped their tools and been like, 'F**k it, I'm out.'"
