Fans are confused as this time the members of audience hadn’t been bothered much by the “offender”
August 16, 2016
If you come to Slipknot’s show, make sure you’re 100% “in” the show and are not behaving disrespectfully to others (or to the band), as frontman Corey Taylor has an alert eye for any “inadequate” fan in the audience (even if they’re standing a dozen rows away). It’s the third time on the current tour that Taylor throws out a fan from the gig, except fans have no idea why he did it this time…

In the video below you see Taylor performing ‘Psychosocial’ in Concord, CA (Saturday, August 13). During the chorus he crouches down and points his finger to a concert goer, telling security “Get that guy out! Get him the f–k out of here! Get him out!” One fan wrote on Reddit said security guards even had to wrestle the fan to escort him out of the venue.
Taylor hasn’t commented yet on what made him remove the guy (who he referred to as “that motherf–ker in the glasses”), but apparently he will have to explain it to media and fans what happened, because people at the show didn’t really understand why the singer was being so adamant. “I was there! All I heard was, ‘That motherfucker with the glasses. Get him the fuck out of here’,” wrote one fan. “This is my fourth show and I’ve never seen that.”
Earlier on the same tour, Slipknot vocalist removed one fan from their July 19′ show, exclaiming “You don’t show me shit, you little pussy.” He called the audience member a “b-tch” and then had him removed from the gig. Commenting on the ejection, Taylor said “He was a c–t. And I’ve been doing this too long to deal with that disrespect.”

In addition, last month Taylor slapped a phone out of a fan’s hands, following the incident with a tweet: “If you’re gonna text, stay home.”
Slipknot are carrying on their co-headlining tour with Marilyn Manson, which will finish on August 27.
