During a recent interview with Vulture, Corey Taylor talked a bit about the businesses side of Slipknot. According to the frontman, the band make sure to split everything equally.
Taylor said the following:
“The great thing about the business part of it is that because we’re from Iowa, it all makes sense. You do the work, you get paid. That’s straight-up it. We split merch equally. We split live equally. We do everything equally. And if we’re all working toward the same thing, then it just all makes sense. We’re always taking care of each other.
Even though we’re older now, our reasons for making music and continuing to do this are still the same. It’s one of those things that, if our reasoning for doing this had changed, the band probably wouldn’t have lasted as long as it did. But — and obviously I can’t speak for everybody in the band — I know the OGs that are here are all still trying to just make the best music that we can. So we take care of each other.”
These latest comments are pretty interesting considering former percussionist Chris Fehn is currently suing Taylor and percussionist M. Shawn “Clown” Crahan for allegedly operating and making money on Slipknot affiliated businesses behind his back.
