"i would rather make less money and be me, than make more money and be somebody I'm not" one of the reasons why i love him

[@termint2113]

this is sad potato Something like Cobains "I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not."

[@thisissadpotato579]

Dave yeah a lot of people have said it, but not every single one of them truly mean it

[@nickmartone2186]

he says he doesn't fall for either side, but trump is more of a patriot than Hillary and Bernie wanted socialism so say goodbye to your big house, and all your cars, he is making to much money most people are broke and cant even afford a place to live. I like corey but I don't agree with him, how come he doesn't run for president next time lets see him stand up and do the job.

[@davidalistair9565]

this is sad potato sooo true why love the fucking guy no one will ever replace CT one an only

[@jtp336]

Very easy to say when you're a multi millionaire several times over.

[@mrawesomexyz]

Corey Taylor is the kind of man that I can respect. He has his own opinions, some of which I agree with, some maybe not, but he does not go along party lines. He seems like a person that one could have a fine, intelligent political conversation with.

[@anthonypena336]

I was expecting a "No, screw that" after 0:15

[@cdreidp]

LMAO true

*It was a fucking joke moron*

[@freekshowofficial]

Thank you Magik Mike for making us expect shit lol

[@walpurgisnacht9234]

People say keep politics out of rock but some of the best rock was very politically motivated. People have the right to voice their opinions don't like it....kick rocks.

[@bane4206]

His horribly stupid opinions are making me hate one of my favorite bands of all time. Politics are best kept out of rock.

[@overkobragaming]

@@bane4206 I totally agree Corey was cool and all but after this vid I just support Jim and Mick on slipknot so far they seem to just focus on music and that's what I like and Corey is out of his element when it comes to politics he needs to shut the fuck up already and stick with music.

[@cdreidp]

Rock was founded on the idea of unrest in society and the ambition and initiative to make a change in the world. Politics are an intrinsic part of the message of rock, vital to the very basis of the genre.

[@jaybone23]

I used to not give two shits about what the likes of a Corey Taylor thought....but I now appreciate just how thoughtful and sincere he is. He has a pretty good grip on what's going on. He may not be an activist, but he's not a limousine liberal like the Beyonces of the music world.

[@jaybone23]

Either you don't get out much or you really enjoy the use of hyperbole.

[@marcverus158]

I just saw that one of Magik Mike 🤣🤣🤣

[@BrokTheLoneWolf]

Corey Taylor is hands down my favorite vocalist, but damn we would bump heads on politics. What he doesn’t understand about Trump is that he is a wrecking ball to the system and that’s why we love him. He is supposed to destroy the system.

[@ratchieleyvas720]

Just remember Corey. All books are children's books. As long as the kid can read.

[@GregJonson]

I like how for the first five minutes Corey is trying hard to not swear, and then he just gives up. :D

[@emiliodiaz9153]

I get the feeling that those who say Corey Taylor doesn't know much about politics, don't know much about politics themselves. I'm sure he's no political scientist, but neither are most KZbin commenters. Anyway, love the interview and what Corey has to say. Keep doing you, man 🤘

[@XxIconR6xX]

Corey is INSANELY intelligent hes not just a pretty face and voice ❤

[@cliffsharp1771]

Corey Taylor for president 2020!!!

[@SyrDoN]

I believe we have come a long way. I had polio at age 1. I was rejected in music my whole life. 'nobody will come to see a guy with crutches on stage'. One and on and on. They had a zero acceptance policy. I don't believe the record labels would do much different now. I can say this. I now write my own songs, I arrange them and do my own vocals. I do 3d vfx graphics with houdini to make my own videos. Today nothing can stop me. I wouldn't change a thing about my history. It's not me. It's society. The key is finding self worth and not giving a fuck what others think. Do it for you. Don't expect to change people. Bravo! You have the right mindset. I congratulate you. #SyrDoN

[@DeclanTheCrow]

keep doing you, man!!

[@maninthebox420m]

He's absolutely right. You should care about others and realise that we all live in the same boat. Everything should be looked at on both sides so you can form your own opinion. He's all about people loving and supporting one another other than hating. Why did we vote for someone who supports all the negative shit that holds us back from growing? We should listen to one another and see ourselves in one another. We all bleed red.

[@borisstone1962]

Corey sign my book América 51. Absolutly amazing. The same day i was in the accoustic show in Irving plaza. Corey is great.

[@austinprichard6375]

He's a fucking moron that writes great songs and sings his ass off...nothing more and certainly nothing less. His politics are absolutely delusional but because he's deemed an artist people think he must he some deep thinker with a greater understanding of things...and that is what makes people like a fucking moron with him. Love his music. Hate his politics.

[@leonesse1788]

All the reasons I LOVE HIM!

[@sweener6953]

I am writing this before I read any comments but I can guess that everybody is shit talking everybody cuz they got a different point of view. Just agree to disagree.

[@Crytica.]

I feel you. When Corey talked about trying to find a middle ground and have the best of both worlds. People already went full keyboard warrior and calling him names before hearing him out... And if they heard him out they did not listen. He has no bad intends he just want's a fair political system and a honest president.

[@ayayron3278]

I personally don't keep up with politics, like Corey said "it's exhausting". I personally feel like a sheep from watching the news for even a minute :/

[@TheStandardIsTheStandard]

ayayron Yeah, you know it doesn’t matter which news program it is that you watch because it’ll always be biased in one way or another, you can never really keep up with the talking points they hit because, if you’re being mindful, you ought to find out what’s being reported as factually true or alluded to as cold, hard fact since they may just be cherry picking. I just don’t read nor do I watch the news. My advice is to actively act creatively; write fiction, play music, read, etc. It’s a much less frustrating path to, I guess, enlightenment. (Until someone says the console you play on is shit, or that metal sucks, then the pattern continues)

[@bryanwadleighofficial3155]

[@roldirevan2130]

So.. what's it to you? I didn't pick on anyone. Man, you're aggresive AF, you need help.

[@kustomhooligans]

Being a long time fan of Corey's back to 1999. In a few important factors, IMO, I think he might've spoke too soon in this interview

[@nemo9540]

We in the UK have much the same issues. It's such a travesty that all our political parties are exactly the same as each other to the extent to which there is little point in voting anymore because they all work for their own ends and nor for the people, it's so frustrating. Though I do feel for you guys in the USA, you've got trump, man I so feel sorry for you all, the guys a dick but so is our prime minister who very recently after epicly screwing up several times went to parliament to beg for another chance.

[@corbinhollars7088]

Im really dissapointed in the fact that so many people are disagreeing with corey on his views, but whatever lol, its your right. But ive gotta say, i couldnt agree with his views more.

[@samuelbernard5824]

Even though I love trump Corey Taylor is awesome. And is very thoughtful. And dope lol

[@philipmedford13]

I voted with my heart

[@AltFreak25]

I sped through America 51. It was sarcastic, hysterical, ludicrous and intellectual all at the same time. I was laughing at so many different parts.

[@petezaroll4421]

So the problem with Corey Taylor is that he says many times that everyone can have their own opinions and not get aggravated which is entirely true but at the same time he also almost condemns other people for their own opinions

[@Bradrick_Larney_Sr]

As a loyal Slipknot Maggot. I don't agree with everything he says. However I respect his opinion and the fact that he's adult enough to hold conversation about his beliefs instead of acting like a full blown liberal.

[@delaklein]

If I were American i would vote for Corey mf Taylor. This mentality is what that country needs

[@brya76]

Love Corey Taylor for his music! But some of his Politics are a little fucked up. This is a good interview!

[@adamslater4150]

With the Colin cappernic (sorry for the spelling) issue I believe that he should start for the American flag because I also believe th at it represents freedom however I don't support his stance I do however support his right to have his own stance on politics

[@amilagarwal5708]

But what does corey taylor think of it?

[@alexwebster4595]

I disagree with some of the things hes saying but hes right about people not sitting down and having a conversation and finding some way to find common ground. I disagree with the left more than anything but I see where they are coming from but nothing is going to be solved if we are screaming at each other

[@abbydeathica6646]

i agree 100%

[@kfoss7457]

If we can handle 8 years of obama than im pretty sure you can handle atleast four years of trump why do most rock/metal bands have to be so anti republican it gets a bit ridiculous the only music i manage to like is infected with progressive pc bullshit and to make matters worse im pretty sure any musicians that supports trump have to stay quiet about their views.

[@emiliodiaz9153]

Heavy metal is, and always has been, open minded and inclusive. Republicans usually aren't. You do the math from there 😉

[@TheJrabbit82]

Corey Talor will become president in the not too distant future 👍👍👍

[@MrVikingsandra]

I like Corey Taylor

[@mattkemerait]

I would kill for an update on this right now, things certainly haven't gotten any better for Trump.

[@corydraper2081]

Ran Trump into the ground.............. How is the new one doing????

[@wotwot6868]

Wonder what is his solution then? One practical solution I've seen so far is Worker-owned Cooperatives. The Labor party in UK is pushing for this, a policy where employees have priority in taking over a company that wants to sell itself. Gov't will lend the employees funding so they can buy the company for sale. Not a perfect, guaranteed solution, but it's one step at a time. Mondragon Cooperatives has proven this works. For more info, checkout Prof. Richard Wolff's work on promoting this idea.

[@23vidmaster32]

Corey is right. DT is thee president but he is not MY president. Talk all the shit you want folks. I can seriously care less.

[@tjsmithers3893]

23vidmaster32 lol why arr most liberals such babies. People didn't like Obama but you didn't hear people say he's not my president. Guess what... He IS your president. Grow up. Your choice didn't win. Liberals are such whiners. It's either my way or you're a racist neo Nazi. Fuck off

[@MKoczwanski]

we voted for trump because he was the only outsider we can send to washington to put a kink in the professional politician's plans to fill their own pockets, trump donating presidential salary to charity a plus

[@xonikkiecal]

... how’s that working out for you bud

[@ringboysforlife]

So he's not conservative but he's not liberal? Good. Those kind of people are still better than any modern democrat. Its best we either have a republican president or at least some kind of non democrat president because that's what the country needs. Corey Taylor for president 2020.

[@PsychoMoFoGaming]

I like coming back now after Trump did a lot of great things and seeing that he was wrong on THIS topic. Overall tho I agree with a lot of what Corey says. But I do disagree with some. I agree with his idea of saying what you want when you want. He used the football payer as an example. Great example. (Even tho I completely despise the kneeling it is his right) but then he contradicts himself by saying others should shut their mouth. Corey also has a socialist view when it comes to how we socialize. Which I don’t agree with. I do agree with his beliefs in our given rights and being more in the middle rather than full right or left.

[@Skulllywag]

I can't see spending money on his book. 2-ply Charmin is cheaper, easier on the bung-hole, and achieves the same purpose. Next album, Corey trades in the mask for a pussy hat.... changes band name to Sliptwat.

[@corydraper2081]

So how is Biden doing????????

[@AlfredSoul]

Don't worry, I, as a German, try to avoid other German tourists aswell, when I'm on holiday. But to be honest, American and German tourists seem to to be the worst, actually.

[@Mephiston]

[@Mephiston]

Aaaaaaaand you miss the point entirely.

[@johnzackarias11]

"It does seem like a lot of people do not have a sense of humor these days" is an absolutely ridiculous narrative. People have *always* had differing opinions on what's funny and what's not funny, on what you can joke about and what you shouldn't joke about. It's not new, stop thinking that it is!

I have loved your music since the beginning. But Donald Trump has done more in his presidency. Then any other president in decades unemployment rate at its lowest in years. Employment rate is the highest it’s ever been. stock markets are booming breaking records constantly. If you really looked into your presidents accomplishments you would have a totally different outlook. I certainly did.

[@wecatchfish9531]

I think I'll just stick to listening to slipknot and stone sour and stay away from his book and these interviews. Keep politics out of ROCK.

[@victoriawilson3536]

We Catch Fish his other books were pretty funny.... bought this a few weeks ago and just cannot get into it.... specially as it was delayed as he allegedly had to re-write it after killary lost

[@bartholen]

Umm... how is he not doing that? It's just him. He's writing the book himself, giving the interviews himself, and not bringing his musical career into it at any point. He's presenting himself as Corey Taylor, opinionated person, not Corey Taylor, world famous musician and singer. He's written a book, not a Slipknot or SS album, or even a song. He's not doing this as part of a Slipknot tour, but as an interview for the book by itself.

[@cartercrawford9000]

He's not representing either one of those bands with his books. It's just him and he has just as much right to use his platform to promote his opinion as you do to make that dumb ass comment
