Corey Taylor’s son, Griffin, formed the heavy metal band Vended in 2018. Recently, Griffin revealed that the band has received online backlash for their similarities to his father’s band, Slipknot. “For me, I do see people’s responses to it, and I get a lot of great responses, because I love the crowd — I love the fans because they’ve been there for my dad and they will be there for me and I will not force them to be,” the 19-year-old Griffin told Knotfest’s Ryan J. Downey.
“But we do get backlash because of the comparison and the similarities (to Slipknot). But we are different. And there have been times where I’ve read some hate comments on YouTube and I literally went into the bathtub, filled the bathtub up and just immediately started crying. I was just so f—ing in a bad place before we got here. And now I’m in a good place because I’m with my friends.”
A full-length Vended album is in the works. The group released its “What Is It/Kill It” EP last month.
“… We’re real excited,” Griffin said. “And I’ve been rewriting and writing and just trying to make it perfect so that it speaks from my soul. Because that’s all I’ve ever wanted — is to speak from my soul.”
