Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor was filmed knocking a fan’s mobile phone out of his hands during a recent gig.
Footage uploaded to the metal band’s official Facebook page shows Taylor roaming the stage while performing before spotting a distracted fan looking down at his phone.
The singer approaches the fan and is seen knocking the phone out of his hands before pointing at him. The fan, however, seems to take it in jest, smiling and pointing back.

Fan reaction to the incident appears mixed, with one Facebook user writing, “That’s what he gets for playing Pokemon Go at a Slipknot show!”
However, another wrote, “Should he have been on his phone during a Slipknot concert? NO! But it also doesn’t give Corey Taylor the right to smack the dude’s phone out of his hand, kind of a dick move”.
Taylor had previously spoken of his dislike of phones being used at gigs, saying, “”People need to unplug and realise that they’re missing their lives”.
The frontman has also warned fans not to bring selfie sticks to their shows, saying he would “beat the shit out of you with a cricket bat”.
