Chad Kroeger (Nickelback) Fires At Stone Sour & Corey Taylor
The topic of discussion was diversity in music, as Chad Kroeger stated that Nickelback is the most diverse band, after which he asked the interviewer for his take on the matter.
The interviewer responded Stone Sour, indicating that he thinks Stone Sour is as diverse as Nickelback, after which Chad Kroeger called Stone Sour “Nickelback Lite”. Here’s what he said:
“Corey Taylor has said some really nasty things about me before in the press. He talks about how easy it is to write a hit song. Well, show me. Show me. Write one. I have yet to hear one. They’re okay. But they’re not as good as NICKELBACK. They sound like ‘NICKELBACK Lite.’”
After he was done with Stone Sour, Chad Kroeger continued to attack Corey Taylor’s primary band: Slipknot. Saying that music shouldn’t come with gimmick, such as Slipknot’s masked performances. He shared the following:
“How good can your music be if you’ve got to beat each other up on stage, throw up in your own masks every night? And he got tired of sitting behind a mask — he wanted people to know what he looks like — so he started Stone Sour.”
The fragment of the interview can be found from 8:15 onwards.
