This is an analysis of the feud between Corey Taylor of Slipknot and Machine Gun Kelly regarding the latter’s place in rock and his attitude about not getting the treatment he wants. I basically point out the faults of both sides of the issue and how they’re both guilty of exhibiting bitterness, along with giving my overall thoughts on MGK and the role he’s playing in rock.
