(TeamRock Radio) Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor says he understands why Gene Simmons declared "rock is dead" - but he completely disagrees with the Kiss star. Simmons said last month that filesharing had killed rock music, sparking a barrage of comments to the contrary from the likes of Rob Halford, Dee Snider and Scott Ian.

Now Slipknot mainman Taylor had given his take on the issue. And while he knows where Simmons is coming from, he insists rock is going nowhere. "Are you kidding me? Screw that, man. Rock ain't dead," Taylor tells Rock 105.5.

"Nothing against Gene. I understand what he was trying to say. His way of making albums and making music and getting things out there is dead. But you just kind of have to roll with the technology, you have to rise with the times, you have to learn to use those to your advantage." Read more here.
