Corey Taylor, as many know, isn’t afraid to speak his mind, even when bashing a popular Beatles song.
Taylor let loose on a recent appearance on the Zach Sang Show about how much he hates the Beatles song “All You Need Is Love.” In fact, his hatred led to him writing “All I Want Is Hate” for his new solo album CMF2.
“‘All You Need Is Love’ is one of the biggest pieces of sh-t that I’ve ever heard in my life,” Taylor said bluntly. “And every time I hear it, I feel like I’m getting shot at.”
Taylor’s full rants on “All You Need Is Love” can be heard below.
On a more positive note: CMF2 comes out on September 15 and is available for pre-order and pre-save here.
Taylor is hitting the road for a U.S. tour in support of CMF2 beginning on August 25 in Denver and wrapping on October 7 with a set at the Aftershock Festival in Sacramento, Calif. (A full list of dates is below.) Tickets are on sale now. Full ticket details can be found at CoreyTaylor.com.
