During a recent interview with All Things Music, Corey Taylor revealed that he once tried to remove “Wait And Bleed” from Slipknot’s live shows. However, he has since accepted the fact that he “can’t escape it.”
Taylor said the following:
“I’m going on record here. I’m not the one who vetoes these things. I vetoed one song for a half a tour — you’re gonna laugh — ‘Wait And Bleed,’ because I was fucking tired of playing it. I was like, ‘can we do one run where we don’t play it?’
Listen to this shit. We got a [four out of five stars] review from headlining Download specifically because we didn’t play ‘Wait And Bleed.’ I was like, ‘are you fucking kidding me?’ I was so mad. I purposefully was like, ‘I don’t fucking wanna play this song ever again.’
Well guess what? I’m the asshole. It’s in my fucking solo set now. So there you go. I can’t escape it. People love that song. It’s not a bad song. It’s just old, man. And I, like everybody else who makes music, I love the fact that we have legacy stuff. But man, I fucking played that [forever].”
