Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has slammed record labels for signing bad bands, saying it leads to music fans illegally downloading songs.
Talking to Kerrang powder magazine, Taylor says: "Half the f****** albums that ar out thither are s***. I don't download, just at the same fourth dimension, I don't buy raw music 'cause it all sucks."
"Okay, there's a handful of bands that I buy, simply other than that, I just buy old s*** because old s*** is good. Sorry!" The disguised metal headliner continued.
"People wanna blame the decline of album sales on downloading, I think it's really the track record companies' fault."
"I think it's the quality of the product. If record companies would stop giving any f****** mook on the street with a fringe a record deal or their own record label, mayhap you would sell more f****** albums."
Slipknot are currently enjoying the success of their modern album 'All Hope Is Gun', which hit the number two slot in the UK and topped the US Billboard charts last week.
