Following his praise at the start of the week for the YouTube mash-up of his song 'Psychosocial' and Justin Bieber hit 'Baby', Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has said he'd like to make a dance record.
But the masked vocalist told Revolver that he definitely won't be following in Korn's dubstep-influenced new sound.
"I want to do...something funny and sarcastic, and I'm not talking 70s dance [and] not that tired fucking dubstep bullshit," the singer explained.
"I want to make it something that's got that old-school feel to it but with a modern twinge. Just get ridiculous with it."
Taylor also revealed that he'd already thought up a name for his new project: The Boogie Knight.
"I want to call the first album The Boogie Knight Rises," he said.
At the start of the week Taylor revealed he was a fan of the YouTube mash-up of Bieber's baby with Slipknot's Psychosocial, and said he had nothing but respect for the young pop star.
"Everybody thought I'd be pissed about it, but I was blown away... I give him respect. He's a very talented kid and he goes above and beyond for his fans."

Taylor even tried to arrange for a get together with Bieber to do an acoustic performance of 'Psychosocial Baby'.
"I was in Baltimore on my book tour and Justin was nearby in Washington D.C. I tried to get him down to my reading because I wanted to do an acoustic version."
But alas, it wasn't to be, with Bieber tied up visiting childrens' hospitals.
"You can't say anything bad about a guy who's visiting childrens' hospitals," said Taylor.
