One of the funniest rock music feuds/jokes as of late is the one that finds Slipknot’s Corey Taylor basically saying that Imagine Dragons sucks worse than Nickelback.

While backlash against Talylor’s own questionable band includes critiques of its masks, shiny pants and spiked boots, you can still bet that nu-metal fans will be chomping at bit to get tickets to the outfit’s September 4 Knotfest date at Tampa’s MidFlorida Credit Union Amphitheatre.

The tour's only Florida stop includes appearances from other hard-rock favorites (Volbeat, Gojira and Behemoth), and tickets ($39.50 & up) go on sale Friday, March 8 at 10 a.m. EST. Livenation.com has more information.
