While many have speculated that an internal feud between Dave Grohl and Taylor Hawkins would lead to the band’s demise — it looks like an entirely different scenario will play out.
Recently, it was reported that Corey Taylor had interest in leaving Slipknot. He was eventually replaced by Insane Clown Posse vocalist Shaggy 2 Dope. [As we exclusively reported] We now know that Taylor left Slipknot to accept the position as the new frontman of the Foo Fighters.
“We are eternally grateful to Dave for being a part of the Foo Fighters family and we have amicably decided to part ways. We will always love you, brother! We are excited to bring Corey Taylor into the band and show you our new direction. He wears flannel that is high grade, not the cheap stuff — so we know you will really enjoy what we have in store for you!” The band’s statement says.
Late last week, Grohl and Hawkins reportedly became involved in a feud over who wore button up flannel shirts better with khakis. During an explosive argument, Hawkins reportedly told Grohl that his button ups were “not that good” which lead to Dave immediately quitting the band.
Following the blow-up, Hawkins approached Corey Taylor (who is known to wear exceptional flannel button up shirts) about possibly joining the band. The two parties came to an agreement as recently as last night.
Dave Grohl is expected to launch a solo career, though it’s unknown if he and Hawkins will ever make amends over their differences on the quality and texture of flannel. Obviously, Grohl has close ties to Seattle, Washington — which is viewed by many as a haven for flannel elitists.
While we’re sad to see Taylor leave Slipknot, we’re excited for his new future in the Foo Fighters!
