Machine Gun Kelly v Slipknot: The Fight No One Saw Coming Or Cares About
Two rich musicians acting out about a single verse. Yawn.
Machine Gun Kelly has fired shots at Slipknot vocalist Corey Taylor after he backed out of a feature on MGK’s album. The two were connected through Colson’s (MGK’s real name) producer and drummer Travis Barker.
The media has had a field day with this bust-up claiming it to be a ‘full-blown Twitter war’ (you sure about that LouderSound?)
At Riot Fest this year an actual adult who calls himself Blonde Don on Twitter decided to interrupt his set and mug off Slipknot. The two acts were billed at the same time with the Don telling his fans:
“Hey, you wanna know what I’m really happy that I’m not doing? Being 50 years old wearing a fucking weird mask on a fucking stage. Fucking shit.” — Machine Gun Kelly during his Riot Fest set.
His thinly veiled insults were clearly aimed at the metal band Slipknot, who are notorious for wearing masks during their performances. Slipknot, who has been a band for almost as long as Colson has been alive, was headlining the festival that weekend.
MGK threw his toys out of the pram because someone he probably looked up to said something mean about him. You’re not going to…
