Neck Deep singer Ben Barlow and Corey Taylor of Slipknot.

Here's what Corey Taylor thinks about Neck Deep's Slipknot tribute

Well, it seems the veteran musician and Stone Sour frontman takes kindly to singer Ben Barlow and company’s imitation of the Iowa-born icons. “That’s pretty badass,” said Taylor on Thursday, retweeting a live pic of the lads in ‘knot gear.

And, boy howdy, are the members of Neck Deep well aware of this development. Not long after Taylor’s tweet, the bemused pop-punkers posted a message cheekily questioning the unthinkable “Approval from the G.O.A.T.” they received.
