Slipknot's Corey Taylor Will Keep Slapping Distracted Fans Phones

(Metal Hammer) Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor says he'll keep slapping phones out of people's hands if they are not paying attention to the show. Last month, the vocalist made headlines when he reprimanded a fan who was looking at his phone while in the front row of a Slipknot gig by slapping it from his hand.

The pair shared a laugh about the incident later, Taylor said, but he insists he'd do it again in a heartbeat. Taylor tells the Las Vegas Review-Journal: "You can hate me all you want. It's not going to stop me from smacking those things out of people's hands.

"You watch people walk down the street, and they can't get their beaks out of their stupid phones to cross the street. I love watching people get buried in their tiny little technological worlds, and then reality comes and smacks them in the face.

"I don't mind people who take pictures. I don't even mind people who shoot video. I love that, because you're still engaged in the show." Read more here.
