Corey Taylor has revealed what he thinks of Metallica's controversial decision to sue Napster back in 2000 over the service's illegal fire-sharing of their music.

While speaking on the Kidd Chris - Off Air podcast, the Slipknot frontman declared that he "fully backed" the San Francisco metallers' move, adding that he believes we're now seeing the "aftermath" of the rise of digital streaming today, with many musicians struggling to earn a living off the process.
