Slipknot Frontman Blames Labels For The Rise In Illegal Downloads

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has slammed record labels for signing bad bands, saying it leads to music fans illegally downloading songs.
Talking to Kerrang magazine, Taylor says: "Half the f****** albums that are out there are s***. 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 s*** because old s*** is good. Sorry!" The masked metal star continued.
"People wanna blame the decline of album sales on downloading, I think it's actually the 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, maybe you would sell more f****** albums."
Slipknot are currently enjoying the success of their new album 'All Hope Is Gun', which hit the number two slot in the UK and topped the US Billboard charts last week.
