You can read what he exactly said about Stone Sour and Corey Taylor below.

“Oh, for sure, Corey and I are much closer now. It’s the best thing, me leaving Stone Sour. We would have just ended up killing each other and driving each other crazy. I can’t spread myself that thin. I needed it, this band needed it and Stone Sour certainly needed it. I think they were tired of my shitty attitude, that’s for sure.”
