Corey Taylor Recalls Getting Schooled by Dave Grohl in This Sport


Turns out Dave Grohl is a beast at table tennis.

Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor recently shared a story about the singer destroying him during a game.

“I met Dave when Stone Sour were making Come What(ever) May [2006],” Taylor tells Classic Rock. “We recorded it at his studio, 606. He’d come down and kick our asses at table tennis.”

“[Dave]’s so f**king aggressive about it,” Taylor said. “If we were up on him, he’d be banging his paddle on the table — ‘Come on! S**t!’ He was not happy when we did beat him, let’s put it that way.”

“It got to the point that they ended up making me play him to get back in his good graces, because I sucked so bad at it,” Taylor added. “I’d be the one who fell on his sword to keep Dave happy at table tennis. I was thrown to the lions a lot.”

Foo Fighters recently announced their “Everything or Nothing At All Tour” for 2024. This will be the band’s first stadium tour since the death of drummer Taylor Hawkins, who died suddenly in March of 2022 at the age of 50.
