Note to all heavy metal fans: Do not text during a Slipknot concert, you might just lose your phone.
Slipknot’s Corey Taylor ‘Okay’ After Falling Off Stage During Atlanta Show
That’s what happened at a recent one of the masked band’s concerts. When frontman Corey Taylor saw someone in the front row text messaging during the performance, the singer took the opportunity to reach out and slap the phone out of his hand.
