Corey Taylor slapped a phone out of a front row fan’s hand during a recent live show.
The Slipknot frontman, who got back onstage last month for the first time after undergoing neck surgery, also urges phone-mad gig-goers to “stay home” if they want to text during their set.
But he adds: “It’s actually funny – afterward, the dude totally understood the fuck-up and we laughed together.”

When a fan Tweeted at him to suggest some people have text in urgent circumstances, Taylor replies: “Okay, but it doesn’t mean that I, with a broken neck and still playing a show, can’t get pissed that someone’s ignoring it.”
In 2014, Taylor also admitted that he tries to pour water on people who use their phones at Slipknot shows.
Slipknot are currently touring North America with Marilyn Manson.
Last month, it was revealed that Apple had been granted a patent for technology that could allow them to disable iPhone cameras at gigs or in cinemas.
