I don’t know, we don’t think about it, we’re just kids. I just think ‘faggot’ hits and hurts people. (This, of course, after Tyler put the microphone up to the hosts mouth as if he was performing fellatio.)

His latest album, “Goblin,” uses the word “faggot” and variants of anti-gay lyrics a total of 213 times, according to NME, a music weekly.
