mustaine actually gives great interviews whether or not you agree with his viewpoints. the same cannot be said for the no-talent hack that is corey taylor.

yeah

Excellent post man, exactly my sentiments.

couldn't agree more dude

I'd rather hear crazy Mustaine than whiny Taylor anyday...

Just because there's one guy who doesn't know what the hell he's talking"

Mustaine IS informed. It appears Corey doesn't know what the hell he is talking about!

Wow... Taylor's a disrespectful little bitchboy isn't he? Anselmo & Mustaine paved that road you're rolling down reaping all the rewards of your success, asswipe. Show some respect, son. I've not heard ONE piece of music from any of this guy's bands that I can say I like. ...I've tried too.

No one should ever put a microphone in front of Corey Taylor. Fullstop.

> mustaine actually gives great interviews whether or not you agree with his viewpoints.

Opinions are something you agree or disagree on. Whether there should be abortion. Whether people should be allowed to own guns.

Mustaine has repeatedly gone off on how Obama was born in Kenya or staged this summer's mass shootings to enact a policy change. That is not a matter of agreement or disagreement, it's a matter of fact or fiction - and he chooses to side the paranoid idiots. That is why he gives shit interviews and nobody should put a microphone in front of him for non-musical purposes.

You're right, Mustaine should focus on facts like obama is basically nothing more than a communist dedicated to robin hood tactics to further enable his voting base to keep liberal democrats in office. Media interviews of the average obama voter support the fact that they have the collective intelligence of a retarted turnip.

...you spelled "retarded" wrong...

To listen the clever, intelligent and controversial points of view of Mustaine than this idiot comments, he doesnt belong to seminal thrash scene despite appearing in Get Thrashed, I ignore how Skates allowed this moron or the other idiot that sings in goodsmack to give their opinions in the documentary

I'm sure both Phil and Dave would love to have a private conversation with you about respect. Please keep distancing yourself from the metal scene!

Mustaine is a legend, Taylor is nothing

Absolutely agree with you, any other opinion supporting Taylor must be verted by a Nu Metal fan in its 20s

They both suck.

Just look at the stupid hat he wears , would people take the word of this idiot as good? , im sure he have better things to say about hip hop artitst than metal artists

I agree avout the hat. It is time we stand up against these idiots that have on stupid hats! Especially women like Cory! In Alaska, girls now walk around wearing that same stupid hat.

I certainly never thought I'd agree with anything a member of Slipknot said.

but I have to say I am 110% with him on Mustaine... the only person in metal who started talking less and less even onstage in the last 15 years, but somehow manages with a handful of sentences to make himself look whiny, ridiculous and uninformed to the point it gets painful.
I was a Megadeth nerd for 20 years or so, met the guy a few times and looked up to him as somebody who got up each time he fell. All of that stopped 5 years ago, or so. Props to Corey, it's the truth.

This could be a long thread.

Corey Taylor is on blabbermouth so much now that they don't even say his first name? The title of the article just says "Taylor". wtf? He's not Prince.

Pot meet kettle.

Atleast Dave says what other American bands are afraid to infront of the media, I don't see Corey singing songs like Peace Sells or Hangar 18

Which one are you Corey?
Who stands in judgement over all of metal? Not you, bud.
Dave IS a moron, but Het isn't exactly a genius. "Rap is just black guys saying I aint got this, I aint got that." James said that to Rolling Stone. Not that bright.

...oh, and Phil is going to pound you , sleep tight.

does this guy think he is? Ok so he may be the king of Mall-Metal but I would suggest learning how to write a song that appeals to more people than potential Hot Topic employee's rather than shit-talking 2 metal legends.

Fuck you Corey Taylor and your shit bands.

Phil is going to kick his ass!

why do people insist on wearing fedoras? it just never works. for anyone

I agree with him on his first point about Mustaine but isn't Hetfield himself right wing? The only difference is Hetfield knows what to say and what not to say in public.

Plus I think Corey Taylor is one of those guys that loves to hear himself talk, can't stand him myself personally. At least Mustaine has contributed something decent to Heavy Metal.

Ironic coming from Corey, although what he says is more annoying than offensive.

Dave's a legend with talent. You and your goofy bum chums with clown masks are insignificant morons to any music scene.

Right or wrong, Mustaine is allowed to his opinion or beliefs.

I have never agreed with anything this guy has said more.

Now hopefully this will be the last time anyone puts a microphone in front of Corey Taylor!

1- did anyone hear Phil at metal masters 4? he was brutally amazing and as menacing as ever.

2- corey, your a fucking dumbass, after iowa, you lost your voice completely. get real

Anyone remember that live album Slipknot released, 9.0 Live or something?

Two discs of Corey Taylor sounding like a cat being put through a shredder.

Ergh.

Walk on home boy...

This guy sings for Slipknot...We're talking about Slipnot...not metal...not something important...not metal...we're talking about Slipknot...not Megadeth...Legends of Thrash...Blabbermouth should ban this idiot from ever speaking again...

While I don't always agree with Corey Taylor, and often thinks he comes off as kind of a whiny douche, I agree with him on Mustaine. Mustaine is a great singer and guitar player, has made many amazing albums. But these days he's kind of gone off the deep end, at least politically. And to an extent, religion-wise also (not wanting to play with "satanic" bands).

That said, a mic shouldn't be in front of Corey Taylor either, unless he's on stage.

Slipknot is shit. Nu Metal is shit. Death metal is shit.

No, Mustaine is most certainly NOT a great singer. What the hell is wrong with you?

What's worse? Journalists interviewing musicians about their opinions or the legions of dumbasses (me included sometimes) commenting on their comments?

Gotta love the conservs like Napalm Scream. At no time in human history before now have the serfs stood up to demand continued subservience to their rich masters. The GOP has all you guys so turned around it's hilarious. Used to be the GOP was all about the working man, until guys like conservative Chief Justice Lewis Powell (who openly stated his activism from the bench) began laying the foundation for the corporate takeover of our government with "First National Bank of Boston vs. Bellotti" in 1978. And so began the road to "Corporate Free Speech" overtaking the good of the people and all the shadiest of business dealings and lobbying that came with it.

Now all our jobs have been shipped overseas, Corporate "free speech" calls for less government interference (less regulation) so companies like Monsanto can claim its their "right to free speech" NOT to tell you what kind of chemicals are in your food, crash our economic system like a drunk at a craps table, and the GOP now has you people believing that corporate values are now your values. They have you believing corporations and the "free market" have your best interests in mind and that you should not only trust them, but DEMAND that they have free reign.....despite just about every instance in history proving that corporations do NOT have your best interests in mind. They've got you hammering on unions, but if it wasn't for the unions you'd be getting paid what those kids are getting paid in China to make Nike products with no benefits.

"It is not a partisan issue; it is a more than a political issue; it is a great moral issue. If we condone political theft, if we do not resent the kinds of wrong and injustice that injuriously affect the whole nation, not merely our democratic form of government but our civilization itself cannot endure" - Teddy Roosevelt (R)

"I hope we shall crush… in its birth the aristocracy of our moneyed corporations, which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength and bid defiance to the laws of our country." - Thomas Jefferson

You're an idiot. It's primarily due to liberal democrat policies that our jobs are shipped overseas (due to high taxes and government regulation which aren't as prevelant in these other countries). It's the reliance on the government which is promoted by liberals (instead of self-reliance) that is the downfall of what used to be the greatest country in the world. Name a prominent societal problem (crime, promotion of the welfare/entitlement state, decline of public schools, pillaging of social security) and it has it's genesis and expansion in liberalism.

And you should be careful with your quotes. "The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not."

"My reading of history convinces me that most bad government results from too much government."

Both are quotes from.....Thomas Jefferson

Here's another one genius: "I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion of the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor, is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it. In my youth I travelled much, and I observed in different countries, that the more public provisions were made for the poor, the less they provided for themselves, and of course became poorer. And, on the contrary, the less was done for them, the more they did for themselves, and became richer."
-- Benjamin Franklin
Complete opposite of the welfare society promoted by liberal democrats, so if you think our founding fathers had any desire to see what they created look like what it does today, then you're as stupid as you are blind. Get a job, or better yet start a business, and you'll change your tune

Really?? This is like puke telling shit it stinks!!

Corey just wants that extra microphone on the beer kegs for his concerts...

Yet another example in a very long list that shows the left is against free speech.

no one should put a mic in front of TAYLOR when he's singing. I would definitely read his shitty opinions if he spared us of his shitty music...

What an uncalled for low blow to Phil. The interviewer simply asked about his voice and he brings up Phils back issues??? What a piece of shit! You just insulted two metal legends. Go play with your wanna be nickleback band and shut the fuck up. A microphone should never be put in fron of your mouth!!!

Last I checked Phil Anselmo is One of the Greatest Metal singers of all time. Dave Mustaine innovator of a whole movement in Trash Metal & Beyond. So what if Dave has opinions on Politics. Corey go Back to wearing your stupid mask & entertaining your 12 yr old audience that thinks your great.

Shut the hell up. Sing....... we do not care about your opinion. When you can play like Dave call us back.

@Napalm Scream

Name some of these "liberal policies" hat have supposedly shipped our jobs overseas. You made my point for me about corporate regulation, and i'll notice you didn't bother to actually specifically try and refute and point I made. Corporate profits are the highest they've been in the history of capitalism, and yet these corporations are not creating jobs. They're task loading their skeletal work forces, stripping their benefits, and cutting their pay. The reason we have government regulation is because corporations have proven time and again they can't be trusted to act in the best interest of the country or the workforce.

And you actually wanna try and claim "liberals" are the ones leading the cutting of education funding? You'll lose on that count and lose huge. The pillaging of Social Security, oh yeah the GOP is absolutely blameless there too. Umm yeah okay.

The first quote you posted when used in the context of your argument assumes (as many of you conservatives do) that those out of work are just "lazy" and "don't want to work". Funny how everybody just seemed to all of the sudden get lazy in November of 2008, according to your rhetoric. Also funny how you guys love throwing around all the "isms" at Obama (many of them on conflict with eachother) and his supposed "communist policy" and yet Congress has blocked an unprecedented 80% of legislation over the course of his term. I wonder how he ever got around to turning this into a communist country when a gridlocked congress won't let anything through.

As for your second quote.........too much government does not include things like labor standards, environmental regulations, FDA regulations, financial regulations.......you know, all those things your corporate masters want eliminated. It's not like they have a history of crashing our economy, polluting our environment, poisoning our food systems, or subjecting their work forces to unhealthy standards or non-livable wages. LOL. *rolls eyes*

And as for your third quote, you kinda have to provide a MEANS for people to work out of their poverty. Kinda hard when the entire manufacturing and production backbone of our country no longer exists. It's also exactly why we no longer enjoy the "wartime economy" we used to. Because we produce nothing in this country anymore.

As for me getting a job, it's nice to know it's people like you I was serving while I was in the military. I wonder what you've contributed to this country.

Go back to watching Fox News and listening to Rush. Leave the thinking to the grownups.

I typed up responses to your invalid assertions, but for some reason it didn't post and I'm too tired from working and paying your share of taxes to retype it so I'll just say thanks for your service and enjoy the benefits provided to you by hard working, proud Americans like me. Funny how I never run across any small business owners who share your viewpoints; it's always the ones sucking from the teat instead of the ones plowing the land. Enjoy your free ride son.

Oh yeah, get a job and take a bath you smelly hippie.

...the liberal douchebag who's shitty band will never touch Megadeth.

Yep that's what I though Napalm. Funny how when challenged for factual and historical specifics, which should be the foundation of your argument, you claim a technical difficulty and yet all your other posts go through just fine. As for as small business ownership, get over yourself. Small business ownership doesn't make one an expert on macroeconomics, the corporate lobby, the welfare system, Social Security, foreign policy, or anything else of that nature.

Here's a newsflash, there plenty of "liberals" who are not only employed but work a hell of alot harder than you do. You know nothing about me, "son". I'll bet you've already written me off as a "liberal" and yet:

1) I'm a gun owner who carries concealed,

2) I'm against abortion (although I would never presume to tell anybody else what they can do with their body),

3) Today I voted to abolish government funding of abortion,

4) I'm a staunch believer in zero tolerance for illegal immigration, especially as my wife is Colombian and came through the very costly and lengthy process of doing it the legal way

5) I voted YES on California's Prop 187 when I was a resident of that stae (look up that particular piece of legislation).

So put that in your pipe and smoke it. I put objectivity, rationality, common sense, and logic before I'd ever put either of those two corrupt major political parties.

Some pepple have issues on both sides, but generally think niether party has served us that well

So you're from California, that explains everything. Now that I'm rested and before I go off to work to support you, let me reiterate that I've already addressed your "jobs going overseas" point but you've been indoctrinated in liberalism since birth so like most liberals you have a superiority complex and won't listen and continually prove my points about your type. You know as little about me as I do about you; I subscribe to neither party either but I have common sense and people (and companies) will generally do everything then can to avoid paying higher and higher taxes and impediments to making money, which is what the capitalist system is based on. So why don't you move to Greece or some other socialist country; oh wait, now we're one too. You can stay here and reap son. What are you going to do now when no one has a job and we're all on the government plate? lol

And I never claimed to be an expert on anything, just an astute observer who has no blinders on like you and knows that we just made another huge mistake yesterday. Time will tell, and I hope I'm wrong, but so far you've helped prove me right.

And by the way, in case you're still reading this, I'm actually for abortion. But only for your mom, and only if it could be retro-applied to you

I can't wait to hear Mustaine lose his shit now that Obama's been re-elected!

Er, did that dickhead just talk shit about phil?!

Slipknot and stonesour

Or pantera and down

Easy choice! Hahaha

Ps he sounds like boomhauer in "spit it out"

All you conservative metal "fans" can get the fuck out of our musical heavy metal genre. You have no business in here, and you are ridiculously outnumbered. Always have been, always will be.

Obama won. Now eat shit and deal with it :-)

What was the best part about this soon-to-be-formerly-free-country is that you've been free to choose which music you like, so I think I'll stay in this genre if for nothing else but to tweak you liberal, mom's basement-dwelling morons. Living up to the mantra, aren't you? And we're only outnumbered here because unlike you most of us have jobs so that we can support you california layabouts. It's funny how for two weeks all I heard was how there was gonna be riots if obama lost; where are the Romney riots? That's right, there are none since they had to get up and go to work today to pay for more california social programs.

You are right about one thing, except that we'll all be eating shit sandwiches with government cheese in a couple of years and we're gonna have to stand in line to get them. Enjoy!

Fuck all people involved, I don't care!

And you deserve the opposite: a mic onstage and NOT offstage.

There you have it!

So it doesn't matter.

when he's singing

Hat.

I am a big fan of Corey Taylor but he has just as big of a mouth as Mustaine. Granted, Mustaine says some really off the wall shit but I do not feel Taylor has much room to talk about other outspoken frontmen. Also I cannot tell if Corey was talking shit on Phil possibly being a drunken fool or if he was talking about his back problems. Phil may not have the voice he had 10 years ago but it is still solid and he is in my opinion still the best frontman in music/metal. Corey I think is right behind Phil in that category.

TAYLOR: 'No One Should Ever Put A Microphone In Front Of MUSTAINE's Face Unless He's On Stage'

Why?

Because you don't agree with him, Corey?

Aww. Too bad, that isn't how this works.

Taylor's a whiner? All Mustaine does is bitch about Obama and how he's found god. I'll take Taylor's interview over Mustaine any day. don't need to be preached about some fairytales or misinformation about Obama.

did you just call Phil a simian?

Preach! How about we just not put a mic in front of him so we don't have to hear his crap music too?

What a douche!

Can say whatever he wants. This is America, Dave has the freedom to do so. If Corey has a problem with it. Move the hell out!

The irony is that Corey Taylor is the *other* most annoying dude in "metal". He, too, should be barred from interviews. Shut your fucking trap already, Corey.
