Corey Taylor said in a new interview that Imagine Dragons are overtaking Nickelback as the rock band to hate.
Taylor appeared on ex-Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones’s radio show in Los Angeles on Tuesday and he agreed with Jones that Nickelback is “the scapegoat of rock and roll.” He then added, “However, they are passing the baton to Imagine Dragons right now, and I love it.”
Taylor, who lives in Imagine Dragons’ hometown of Las Vegas, continued, “They’re awful, so that’s cool. And they’re from Vegas, so I’m gonna go home to protests. Can’t show my face in this town now. Yeah, people are slowly coming back to appreciate Nickelback and then just turning their irksome ire towards Imagine Dragons.”
Taylor doesn’t seem happy that his comments are spreading over the Web, as he retweeted Blabbermouth’s tweet about it and wrote, “Took less than 24 hours. Ridiculous.”
