Corey Taylor says Slipknot is not “rich” and will never see “Taylor Swift money”

[thatcrazymick]

Splitting profits nine ways in the band when most bands are four-five members, definitely hurts some.

Corey taylor owns multiple homes, and even helped his son with a band. He aint no middle class. Im middle class, 72k a year

[tristan]

Jim just recently got a challenger for a car. So when you consider that they have to split money 9 ways, they have a massive crew for anything that they do, and they dump a ton of money into production, they do pretty good.

All rich people: I'm upper middle class...

[rhymeswithtyme]

It’s wild people think metal bands would be rich stars in 2023. Metallica will probably be the last metal band to be considered rich by music star standards.

You're still living a dream doing what you love unlike most people who escape through your music

[DutchDukeMan]

"upper middle class" meanwhile he has a net worth of 10 million

[davidblank]

He made enough where he felt comfortable enough to hide funds from other bandmates. So, theres that.

[Kardaszpm]

He's about 50 and still looks like a senior in high school. He's a great guy.

[lmilly]

Nah Corey and Shawn are balling he’s just talking about the other 7 guys

[junkhead_]

I wouldn't trust Corey Taylor if he told me the sky is blue.

[aspirindamage]

If anyone says they are upper middle class, that means they make and anyone who is in middle class would simply call them rich🤣

[ZenAkuWillow]

9 bandmates, producers, crew, tools and equipment, tours, merch.. Perhaps Chris was right after all

[nickkduhh]

Corey acting like him and Shawn aren't taking in WAY more than the rest of the band

[Cxdyy]

I mean Jim got motorcycles, expensive guitars and an unopened gibson guitar from the 60s

[KangaDrew]

Anybody who doesn’t like slipknot has not given them a chance. Not main stream at all, especially their earlier stuff, but definitely one of the most listenable for people who do not like metal. Their shows are always good too.

[tattooed]

This is why Corey is doing solo shit! Slipknot is over. They have been for a while now. Love them! Still remember being given a demo of wait and bleed at a show in the late 90s.

[Mysterio-Solar]

I would think Corey's hotter band Stone Sour would appeal to the masses over Slipknot . Corey really has a more Versatile Palet of Melodious Songs in that Band . His Vocals are ALOT more appealing in that Band as well .

[mewgiah]

He isn’t complaining he is just answering a fans question. And yeah having to split profits with 9 band members is the main reason they aren’t filthy rich.

[OnEst_Opinion]

They have to split their money seven different ways, what do you expect?? Plus half their mainstream hits are being paid to members who left years ago. They didn’t set themselves up for wealth, that’s their damn issue.
