Gwar's Dave Brockie (stage name: Oderus
Urungus) didn’t take to kindly to a recent comment from Slipknot frontman
Corey Taylor.
Last month Taylor posted a message on the
Stone Sour message board where he said that the next Slipknot album would
be the last (see
story). In that posting Taylor said the following, “First of all, no
one can touch what we did in the ‘KNOT. We accomplished something everyone
said we couldn’t do. We put out two of the best albums, in my opinion,
of all time. I believe we can do one more album and go out on a high note.
But as far as hanging out after we have lost our relevance? NEVER. I got
one f***ing word for you: GWAR. I will never do that, and I would never
let that happen to a band I bled and almost went blind in one eye for,
not to mention nearly losing my voice and losing the ability to sing.”
Several online news sources published Taylor’s
comments, including antiMUSIC. Gwar’s Dave Brockie wasn’t pleased with
Taylor’s comment about Gwar and blasts the Slipknot frontman in a statement
posted to his official website.
Here is Brockie’s statement:
Well, Corey, if I may retort, I feel you
would be better served keeping your whining trap shut. Every time I read
anything you say it issome piss-assed sulky BULLSHIT about how somebody
had a fake laminate or how hot your overalls are or how you almost went
blind over your band, didn't talk to each other for years or whatever.
WAAAAAHHH! Grow up you big baby! We don't care about your rock 'n' roll
soap opera, and your self-indulgent hissy-fits dilute and distract from
the alleged potency of 'the 'KNOT'. Take a page from DEVO or GWAR and stick
with the characters and the image they create. They are much more interesting
than you are (which isn't saying much). But how could I doubt someone who
has created 'two of the best albums of all time'. I guess you are also
the guy who decides who makes the best cheesesteaks or serves the 'greatest
slice in town'. My point is that self-annointed praise is bulls***! You
are always going on about how great you are — cut it out! Do you think
you're Muhammed Ali or what? I can just imagine your embarrassed bandmates
eyes rolling behind their masks, as you launch into yet another long-winded
and ultimately asinine tirade, the delivery of which has unfortunately
become your trademark. No wonder they don't talk to you. And please
stop saying 'the KNOT', it sounds stupid, like 'the Nuge', or 'the MAIDEN'.
And as far as relevance is concerned, I have one word for you — GWAR. The
mere fact that you would link relevance with a word that means nothing
underscores your moronic observations as actually being retarded. If you
don't believe me, look up GWAR in the dictionary. Cultural events have
relevance far longer than their actual occurrence, which means that even
your crummy band will have relevance long after you break up, which will
hopefully be soon. And GWAR will still be there, leading the insulting
reverie, a festering stool on the doorstep of the music industry, unmarred
and eternally stinky. It delights me no end that you think GWAR sucks.
Maybe you can whine about it some more and we can get some free publicity.
You are just too funny. A ninny placed on a podium is a ninny nonetheless.
It's too bad that your band is 'eating itself'. You should eat a
bowl of dick, maybe that would help. Long after 'the KNOT' has been reduced
to a series of protracted legal battles, GWAR will remain an indelible
blot on the fabric of our lives, and I will remain a dedicated, obscure,
and in my own manner, relevant artist. People will eternally remember you
as the scary clowns who had the lead-singer that whined like a little bitch
every time he got in print. Maybe you'll think GWAR is relevant when Oderus
rams his scaly cock up your ass, that is if you can stop orgasming for
five seconds."
