Rockstars also like pop music. But, for years and years, the worlds of Rock and Pop had fought. Often rockstars criticize the pop music for using “manufactured” songs and artists, while the popstars responds by citing the rockers’ arrogance by diminishing Pop.
It turns out that many rockstars like pop music. Back in 2012 Fuse recorded a video interviewing rock stars and asking them to tell which Pop song they loved.
With names like Slash (Guns N ‘Roses), Alice Cooper and Amy Lee (Evanescence), the result is quite curious. Some just answer the original question, which asks what is the “guilty pleasure” (that song they hear hidden) of each one. But others like Corey Taylor (Slipknot) insist that they are not ashamed of anything they hear.
