Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has hit out at Kanye West following his Glastonbury claim he is the "greatest living rock star."
Kanye headlined the 2015 Glastonbury Festival on June 27 and his performance made an impact. Not only did he deal with a stage-crasher, West also covered Queen’s song “Bohemian Rhapsody” and told the audience that they were “watching the greatest living rock star on the planet.”
It’s that last statement that has made some other rock stars in the industry stop and comment.

“Kanye. You are not –” said Corey, pausing to repeating himself for emphasis, “NOT the greatest living rock star of all time."
The metal superstar, whose masked group have sold millions of albums over their two-decade career, hinted at Kanye that having "to tell people that kinda says it all."
Corey clearly did not appreciate Kanye's comment during his performance on the event, he politely disagrees as he appeared without his trademark mask, sitting comfortably in a chair while he addressed Kanye directly.
“You remind me of the guy who brags about p***y,” Corey added. “They never get as much as they brag about.”
“Stop it!” Corey concluded in a manner reminiscent of a teacher scolding a student by slapping his wrist. “Stop it!”
Corey is not the only one who slammed Kanye over his comments. Rock and roll legend, Pete Townshend, along with his band, The Who told the crowd: "We're going to make a big f***ing rebellion; yeah, who's the biggest rock star in the world? It must be Elvis Presley."
Kanye was booed for his performance of the Queen's track, and a mash-up video went viral on YouTube which shows Kanye laugh at the beginning of the song as he tried to get in tune.
Archive footage of Freddie then flashes up of him looking slightly stunned before he bursts out laughing and performs the song himself.
