Slipknot is not as bad as you think. Yes there is agression and screaming, but, there is a lot of melody and depth to the band as well
Bad as they think?! Slipknot is the best band ever!!!!!
@@teddymonadnock9724 They don't know that.
No. They suck! Really!
@@josephblow3581 Cool
IOWA
I feel like Slipknot isn't exactly what people think. Yes it's metal, there's screaming, there's some creepy imagery and shit going on.... but the talent and artistry is amazing. Corey Taylor, the vocalist, has a beautiful voice when he sings. I recommend you listen to more!
He did a really good cover of Dio's Rainbow in the Dark that I think is a pretty solid show of his clean vocals. If someone can cover something Dio sang and it sounds good, then they've got vocal chops.
I second this.......
Most people are shallow and can't get past "scary people in masks! Ew!"
@@Dr.Spatula Human's are instinctively visual creatures. If they didn't want the judgment, they didn't have to wear the masks.
@@allegorical instinctively visual creatures? Then why worship shit you can't see?
The song is about living with migraines. Pain so bad pushing on your eyes gives you relief. As a cluster headache sufferer, this song is ridiculously relatable.
I genuinely don't understand how people don't comprehend the "push my fingers into my eyes" line. Like, have y'all never even been stressed? It's always "ew! It's scary and gross"
@@Dr.Spatula The masks and imagery don't help, when taking about normal shit....
@@simiangimp2282 what imagery is that? A bunch of dudes playing instruments while fans destroy a house?
Samesies 😄
I get clusters too. Sometimes I wish my eye would just go ahead and explode and get it over with. Ugh.
Corey Taylor is crazy. He's got a solo career and leads both Slipknot(harsh vocals, crazy fills, and masks) and Stone Sour(close to only clean vocals, no masks). He's collaborated with a few rappers, too(Tech N9ne, Kid Bookie, etc).
And the Slipknot fanbase are called Maggots.
Y'all should definitely experience more of Corey Taylor, but you may need to keep the lyrics on-hand. lmao
the live acoustic version of "Snuff" from corey taylor solo is awesome
Agreed you have to also watch Stone Sour now.
I second.....third and fourth this........
@@Adonoabofufufor real that shit hit me hard ever time one of my favorite songs 💯
The "Living La Vida Loca" cover had me dying laughing the first time I saw it
"This song is a song"
I wasn't prepared for this hot take.
if metal is just screaming... rap is just talking... cant have it both ways
You’re absolutely right
This song is about the lead singer's (Corey Taylor) problem with migraine headaches. Someone might have already mentioned this. But yeah I don't know if you've ever had a really bad headache but pushing on your eyeballs slightly soothes the pain.
came here to say this exact thing
Yup, can confirm unfortunately.
Autsch
Yup fellow metalhead and big Fan, you beat me to this comment 🤘🏼
It blows my mind that so many reactors don't automatically get this. When you're head/eyes hurt, you push on your eyes for temporary relief. Or to see a trippy lightshow behind your eyelids.
Y'all need to see some of their live performances. Their former drummer was an absolute beast
Anything from the London Disasterpieces show is amazing. Everything I've seen after that pales in comparison. But that London 2002 show is legendary.
@@justinatest9456 totally agree! I have that one on DVD, and it's hard to top that energy
R.I.P. Joey! He was an absolute F'N BEAST!!!
@@wayneclark2899 coming through with the clutch on his name. Completely blanked on it when I commented 😅 RIP indeed; Joey is sorely missed.
RIP.....Joey & Paul........
Metal and Rap are tied together wayyy more than most people think
And it sounds pretty good
Fr especially with bands like limp
@@Maleek808I kinda wish that Wes Borland got more recognition cuz he’s a beast on guitar
@@Maleek808also linkin park and rage against the machine
Public Enemy + Anthrax, Run DMC + Aerosmith back in the day...
Slipknot is kind of THE metal band almost every metal fan has embraced, and because they cross genres and touch on those primal emotions that we can all relate to, they are VERY prolific. 100% I think you should check out a few more of their tracks. They’ve also been around for years, and they have a multitude of different sounds. I’m positive you’ll find some that suit your tastes. Their early career is more harsh and thrashy, while the new is more melodic but refined. The one thing that Slipknot is, is pure. The music hits different when it’s pure, and they have the skills to keep their spot at the top of the NuMetal podium. Enjoy!
RIP Paul Grey and Joey Jordison. I first got into Slipknot around 99-2000 with their first Roadrunner Record. And the Iowa record they dropped a few years later. Always been a fan of their unique blending of genres and crazy live performances. And Corey Taylor's vocals on top of it all, just took it to another level.
13:27 This dude influenced on all musical world since the beginning of Slipknot so much, he was the reason why so many people all around the world started drumming and he was very talented and simultaneously humble. He died because of transverse myelitis at 46 y.o.
If you've ever experienced a migraine, a lot of times kinda squeezing the bridge of your nose and pushing in on your eyes a bit helps to relieve the pain.
I believe Corey has stated that he wrote the chorus when he was dealing with a migraine.
I was doing that last night, pushing my fingers into my eyes. It's a weird sensation it hurts but it makes it better. Love slipknot, im always surprised how people get freak out about the masks, I think they are cool. You should react to Pantera too 🤘🤘
Slipknot!!! As a metalhead that has been following you a while I really enjoyed this reaction. You guys hit the nail on the head with respect to how the music and lyrics of metal help people cope. Very similar to rap. If you want another Slipknot song I would recommend Spit it Out. Do a lyric video because Corey raps through much of the song.
Corey Taylor is fkn spittin on that track!
Slipknot - Spit it out LIVE 2009 is probably one of the, if not the greatest, live performances you could ever see.. It was in the U.K. and you will never see crowd control in such a way that Corey has
100%
London 2002 is amazing. That 2009 video is so low energy and boring. It drags on 4 minutes longer than it needs to. Never understood the enthusiasm for that performance.
100%
Yeah, fuck download. DISASTERPIECES live from London 2002. I watched the dvd as a 12ish year old and couldn’t stop from there.
I hate to disagree with my metal brothers.... Domination by Pantera live in Russia... Bar none. 1 million people strong mosh pit......
If I recall correctly, the "I push my fingers into my eyes" is a reference to a technique to help with migraines or cluster headaches. "It's the only way, to slowly stop the ache" is the next line. I could be wrong, but I think I read that somewhere.
This has probably been said a few times, but y’all really should check out Corey Taylor - Snuff (acoustic version). He’s the lead singer of Slipknot. It is amazing, and will throw you for a complete loop lol
Another band I feel like you guys might sink into is 'Tool' They're one of the greats when it comes to both composing music and writing deep lyrics.
They are their own genre. Everyone needs a bit of Tool in their lives... If ya know what I'm saying
Lateralus and 46&2 are epic, amongst many.
YES
Second this they would love tools lyrics especially
This is a MUST! Lateralus is a rabbit hole, one you can read up on and nerd out on, especially if you like math :)
I totally agree
Corey is also a pretty damn good rapper, "Spit it Out" showcases it from their first (and I think best) album titled Slipknot
They should do the Live version! Slipknot - Spit it out, Live at Dowload Festival 2009.
@@tubelious live versions generally sound bad though
@@TheBeelzboss true, but that crowd interaction and whole show is phenomenal.
Our fandom name is Maggots. Also, thank you so much for being willing to check them out despite having a prejudice view of them initially. That shows great maturity on your part. Rock and Metal have a very undeserved amount of prejudice against them as being evil, violent, satanic or just straight up noise when that couldn't be further from the truth. It's the same as someone saying all rap is about h*es, drugs and gang stuff over the same recycled beat when we all know that's not true either. Rock can be energetic (Metal/Thrash), have hip hop elements (Nu Metal), slow (bluesy, power ballads, ect) and so much more. It's so much more than just noise and aggression. It can be beautiful, heartbreaking and emotive. It's simply a different way of expression. I hope you continue a deeper dive into this genre. I see you have a good head on your shoulders and can come to truly appreciate the skill needed in this genre (vocals, lyrics, instruments, composition, ect.).
Some songs I recommend to check out: Alter Bridge - Blackbird, Metallica - Fade to Black, Alice In Chains - Would, Slipknot - Snuff, and Audioslave - Like A Stone should be a good starting point.
One of the dont miss songs from slipknot is snuff. As emotional, honest, and raw as ren, and thats saying a lot from something this heavy
Metal heads are some of the kindest people I know. It's because we know how to get our aggression out in a healthy way like this. :)
Fun fact. The house in this video was a fan's house in Des Moines, Iowa. They were either demolishing it or going to renovate it. So they reached out to the band to see if they wanted to shoot a video there. So they did. All those people in the video were fans.
Sooooo much many songs & videos.... if ya choose to venture down this rabbit hole!
The maggots will love this!
❤❤
Knox Hill did Lorna Shore and Black Pegasus drops Slipknot all in the same day! :D
Slipknot is definitely a rabbit hole to go down. They have a catalog that’s for sure
Slipknot - Spit it out 🎤📊🔥🔥🔥
Super excited to see this one! Slipknot actually led me to Tech N9ne if you can believe that. Tech's song Wither featuring Corey Taylor is on my "F off" playlist. 🤘
10:41..."so he said something about reality and its not real and fingers in eyes ....then you hear the DING of a baseball bat hitting a beer keg "🤣🤣🤣
⛔️ Long comment ⛔️ (I have Asperger’s) Great reaction and a great 1st Slipknot choice. I’m a 41 yr old born again Christian metal head who started really getting into metal in the mid ‘90s so I feel like I can be a good resident metal ambassador to this channel, as I also love hiphop.
Metal and hiphop are the most masculine-testosterone-driven genres of music, lots of machismo. Both genres started in the ‘70s and the band most credited for the origination of metal, Black Sabbath, got their inspiration from a horror movie with the same name. So that’s why you’ll find a lot of creepy, scary stuff in metal, but even that is just a fraction of what you’ll find. The genre has evolved and branched out over the decades.
Metal from a sonic standpoint is really all about the guitar riffs and the drum beats. The more adrenaline pumping riffs and beats the better the metal in my opinion. Some bands are more repetitive than others and utilize hooks and other bands are more into the technical side of musicianship, playing hard and/or fast pieces of music with lots of changes, so beware of that. Not all metal sounds the same, although it might at first lol.
I don’t think Slipknot are devil worshippers. Is there a lot of devil worship in metal? Sure, but mostly with underground bands I’d say, but it’s hard to say who’s doing it for real and who’s just doing it for the shock-effect. So, you’ll find a lot of horror elements in metal, not every band creates from that vibe however. A lot of metal bands are just all about adrenaline pumping energy and you’ll find a wide variety of topics in metal lyrics. It’s a very diverse genre, like hiphop, with different vibes for different moods or settings. But overall, metal is a dark, scary, and energetic style of music, but you’ll also find beautiful and uplifting metal.
Besides horror movies, metal was originally inspired by blues, rock, classical, jazz, and then punk was introduced to metal and this where you get thrash and the more pissed-off drill sergeant style vocals. Pretty much every genre has been mixed with metal.
Just as the krump style of dance manifested in hiphop, metal has its own high-powered energetic, violent style of dance. It’s a sight to see a whole pit of people doing karate ninja moves all to the beat next to each other, it looks like a gang fight. You see this more at metalcore, hardcore, and deathcore shows because these sub-genres have a lot of breakdowns (which originated with funk & hiphop) than at regular metal or thrash shows, where at the latter you’ll find a more pushing and shoving style of dance. I’m too old and out of shape for that now but I’ve gotten my dance moves on in several pits growing up. I’m more of a metalcore guy.
Slipknot is considered nu-metal which is a rap-inspired sub-genre of metal, but they incorporate thrash metal, death metal, and dabble in metalcore. Pantera is more groove-metal but both bands are legendary in the metal community.
As for more Slipknot songs to checkout, Psychosocial is another good one for newbies. My personal favorite album of theirs is their self-titled debut album from ‘99. The 1st track on that is just a 30 second creepy/eerie clown sounding piece of music, but tracks 2 thru 6 are all great in my opinion. Tracks 4, 5, & 6, “Wait and Bleed”, “Surfacing” and “Spit It Out” are good for newbies. Surfacing and Spit It Out have turntable scratching. As the releases become more recent they’ve evolved to incorporate more melody and singing. For a Pantera introduction, I’d say “Cemetery Gates” or “Cowboys From Hell” would be good songs to start with. This comment is more than long enough so I’ll stop here.
The actual song and video was released 2004. So 19 years ago ;)
you guys make a great duo, love the reactions.
Clown, is a classicly trained percussionist, if I have it correct.
Yes he does use metal kegs and oil drums with a baseball bat beater authentically. So any of him beating a metal keg or oil drum in a video he does for real during performances. This has generally done his wrists and hands in early, but he still gives 100%.
The band are a 9 piece unit with a storied and dramatic history,consisting of :-
Lead man, Corey Taylor
Two guitarists (lead and rhythm)
Bass guitarist
Drummer
2 Percussionists including Shaun "Clown" Crahan. Clown is also a backing vocalist.
A keyboard/synth player
A DJ/record scratcher
Slipknot is AMAZING live, can’t wait to see them again
I’m seeing them again next week🎉🎉
@@dannycrook5244 you going to download Festival?
I can’t wait to see more!! I keep coming back to these including Korn. Just waiting for more 90s 2000s music reactions from these groups in your catalog!!!🤘🤘🤘
Fun fact: This was a fans house that let them record the music video here and demolish the place.
They actually put a lot of thought and science behind the masks. Not only the imagery for each member but yes, for vocalization. That's why you see more vocal members providing backup vocals have slits on the mouth. But also Coreys mask has changed drastically from being very restrictive to the jaw to being more free and engineered.
I was in this video! March 2003. Crazy to think that I was a couple weeks from turning 19, and here I am all these years later pushing 40. Some fun facts:
1. Casting call for the extras was placed in the Des Moines, IA newspaper. Out of the literal thousands who came and applied, only 400 of us were called to be extras. One kid legitimately flew from England, and Corey caught wind of this. He ended up inviting the kid to stay at his house while he was in the States.
2. All the house and yard damage was real. This was filmed at a house under renovation in a West Des Moines neighborhood. The owners were gracious enough to loan the house to the band for the video, but no one anticipated the cold rainy late March weather and by the time filming was done, the yard was an absolute mud pit.
Over the course of 16-17 hours, we absolutely destroyed damn near every inch of the property to the point that Slipknot ended up having to buy the house. We absolutely destroyed it.
3. The party that ensued the night before as all of us fans converged on the bus pickup site (West Valley High School) was absolutely legendary.
Crazy 24 hours. Next to the birth of my kids and the day I got married, this is one of the greatest days of my life. Also had cool personal moments with each band member, including those who are no longer with us today.
Now if you'll excuse me, this whole thing's got me feeling incredibly old now that I'm realizing this shit was 20 years ago...
It's a song about suffering from migraines.
So funny. This is how I reacted around 2005 when my bf introduced me to them. He was in this video, likes to pause at the right times to show us. It takes time to adjust to the sound but once you do, you are in for a treat. Corey Taylor is an amazing writer (he's got mad barz). Been to 3 concerts (as a mixed girl). The fans are so friendly...don't let the stereotypes fool ya!
It'd be interesting to see you react to their song Virus of Life. Or Skin Ticket. Or Prosthetics. Pretty brutal songs, I think it'd be fun 😂
Also, the "Slipknot Army" does have a name, we're called Maggots 🥰
BP!! Ya trying slipknot reacts now.... Omg this makes me sooo happy 😊🔥🔥
a must watch for slipknot would be : spit it out - live from download festival 2009 or as a complete opposit a song of the other band the lead singer of slipknot is in ''stone sour - through glass ''(i recommend the accoustic version)
Just for clarification, the fingers in the eyes thing is just lyrical imagery for when you like put pressure on your eyes or bridge of your nose when you have a headache. Not like literally shoving your fingers violently into your eyeballs.
I dunno … sometimes putting pressure directly on the eyes helps. Not forcefully obviously.
Slipknot is not extreme metal. They are just angry and emotional. Greetings from germany. :)
Ren brought me here weeks ago and I'm stoked you're getting into my kind of music every so often. \m/
Oh, Pantera - Cemetery Gates
It actually dropped in 2004, just youtube wasn't around back then is all
I'm digging all these rabbit holes you have started going down. Keep it up guys.
Pulling up the lyrics was a 🐐 move... Iowa
Slipknot fans are called Maggots ... They are really good , yes sometimes rawr, but if you listen to more you will truly find out why They have such a huge following worldwide.... And please do more reactions to slipknot , Pantera , mushroom head ... Love your reactions yo!!!
This is why I am so happy to have so many influence when I was a kids. My dad was a metalhead, my mom loved hiphop/'rap and country... I have heard almost everything :D So I love seeing people opening up their minds and listening to things outside of their comfort zones. Slipknot has been on my list of favs since about 1999, and I've seen them live quite a few times. I would recommend going to a show if you ever get the chance. Make sure to stay hydrated though. lol
The video was only added to CZcams 13 years ago. The song was actually released in 2004.
A absolutely fire one to check out is Spit it out live download 2009, that was awesome
11:41 those masks, especially at this point are all designed with all you mentioned in mind. The lead singer Corey Taylor is probably the most intricate because it works with his mouth opening and closing for vocals.
I've seen Slipknot live multiple times and yes, Corey Taylor can project his voice extremely well out of a mask. It doesn't seem to hinder him vocally in any way whatsoever
The name given to slipknot fans is "maggots". Tech N9ne actually references this in the song Like I Ain't. Where he says "Tryna ride all the way up to my homie in Slipknot (maggot)".
My only gripe with the music video version is that they cut the song in parts (not massively) but on the album version there is a badass build up into a final outro with that main punching riff which is just *chef's kiss* .
Speaking of the masks, Corey Taylor scratched his eye because one of his original masks had dreads and it would hit his eye when he was headbanging. If you want to hear how good Corey is at singing, check out his live acoustic version of "Snuff." And he can metal rap amazingly well in "Spit it Out."
You two absolutely need to react to Cory’s acoustic version of “Snuff”. It is deep and raw and his vocals are so incredible and powerful.
A line from Nero Forte by Slipknot has always stuck with me "You can do your worst to me. At the end of the day, that's what you do best"
If you want to hear Corey rap listen to "Spit it out" and "Nero Forte". The live version of "Spit it out" from 2009 is one of the greatest life profomances you will ever see. Keep on reacting!!!
Yes to both but I haven’t seen anyone else say Nero Forte. I think they would love it!
@@HK_8 I agree, Nero Forte is a much more refined controlled version of Corey's voice.
@@HK_8 Left Behind has always been my favorite Slipknot song, but Nero Forte is like tied ever since I heard it
"I push my fingers into my eyes" refers to Corey's migraine. When he applies pressure to his eyes during a migraine attack, it relieves the pain. You can only understand that if you've ever had a real migraine ;)
Duality was on the third album that came out in 2004, it was uploaded to YT later. Also the members of slipknot have done many interviews on how disgusting the masks can get, especially in their early career they were notorious for not washing them between shows and the smell was disgusting. I saw them at ozzfest 99 when they came through Vancouver and they were insane, 9 guys all on the B stage just going crazy.... they were terrifying and mesmerizing at the same time.
ETA slipknot fans are called Maggots... Clown came up with the name I believe when he looked out at the writhing mass of the fans and thought they looked like maggots on a carcass. As for another slipknot song Id say almost anything off their 1st album. But maybe sic, surfacing or wait and bleed specifically
Saw slipknot at Big Day out 2005 in Melbourne it was insane. But I must say Mudvayne in 2001 was more insane, they were put in a small tin shed which held maybe 1000 people, people were crawling up the walls lol
This dropped before 13 years ago. I was hearing it in the mid-2000s even when I first heard it. It must have just been when it was uploaded to CZcams.
This was the first song I was really acquainted with them and one of the few that I have actually liked. Before I Forget and Vermilion Pt. 2 also have some singing in them and enjoy those too. The lead singer is also the lead singer of Stone Sour and Bother and Through Glass are good singing songs from them.
I've been a maggot since the early years. I couldn't help but laugh when you said you couldn't understand what he was saying because I'm over here watching mouthing all the lyrics as he goes. It always fun to see when people watch something outside their normal genre for the first time. Im 45 now and I listen to all types of music now. It took me most of my life to do so. And if you have never had a migriane, im happy for you. I feel Corey's pain there. They are not fun!
You called this a journey and that really is a good word to describe what you can go on with these guys. The amount of crazy spitter flows you'll find will surprise you. I recommend I Am Hated off their second album. Not much screaming but the lyrics got that crazy flow. Enjoy you Slipknot adventure.
Snuff (Acoustic) by lead singer of SLIPKNOT Corey Taylor. It will take You to completely different angle of his range. And after this... I'm not kidding... Corey Taylor Spongebob Squarepants Live in London. It will give You a different perspective on the metalhead community - we all just sweet teddy bears inside.
Spit It Out, live at Download 2009 is a very popular one with reactors, shows Corey's crowd control, and also how much Joey their former drummer (RIP) really brought to a live show.
Cory Taylor and Slipknot helped me stay alive,helped me believe that things are going to be better..every fight is worth the effort if it keeps your feet moving
Yes more Slipknot :) hmmm....so many options.. Tattered and Torn is one of my favorite songs by them.
Corey Taylor has migraines - I have migraines - I knew that whoever wrote the lyrics had them too because that's what I would do sometimes to alleviate the pain - "made of all the things I have to take" is a great line.
slipknot has converted many hip hop heads. i'm excited to see where this journey takes you haha
slipknot fans are called maggots fyi
Duality is actually about the migraines Corey Taylor gets . Pushing the fingers into your eyes to relieve the pain. Nothing can relieve it. You can’t seem to feel like your gonna make it. Slipknot is amazing!
The name for fans of slipknot is usually "maggots"
A few suggestions for other bands (without checking your other content)
Alexisonfire : boildfrogs (have the lyrics open)
Protest the hero : yellow teeth
Bullet for my Valentine: tears don't fall
I really wish you’d watch an interview about slipknot. They’re absolutely amazing humans. No matter the image they portray. Corey doesn’t drink has kids. Has nephews that have there own band that’s amazing taking on the same type of music. It’s beautiful.
Cory Taylor is actually the lead singer of stone sour some don’t know. Very good voice.
American's are stranger...oh my, that's loud "DEVILLLLLLLL!"
Corey has a great voice. Give him a listen
15:25 we're called maggots, it sounds mean but shaun crahn, the clown, came up with it because he once noticed that maggots in a dead animal looked just like a crown moving around
This track actually dropped back in 2004 lol just goes to show you can never go by when something was uploaded to youtube to know how old it actually is.
many older songs were uploaded around the 2010s, once the musicians caught on that it helps spread their music.
Every member of Slipknot changed their masks every album cycle but both guitarist Mick Thomson and Jim Root masks don’t changed usually it’s minor changes. Their are nine members of slipknot starting with number 0-8 and their they show their numbers on their jumpsuits.
Lead Vocalist Cory Taylor #8, Lead/Rhythm guitarist Jim Root #4, Lead/Rhythm guitarist Mick Thomson #7, Bassist Paul Gray #2 1972-2010, Paul Gray passed away on May 24th of 2010 he was only 38 years old.
Paul Gray plays bass guitar on the first four slipknot albums. Drums Joey Jordison #1 1975-2021 Joey Passed away on July 26th 2021 passed away in his sleep is was only 46 years old, Joey plays drums on the first four slipknot albums, Joey left slipknot in 2013 due to a medical issue suffering from acute transverse myelitis. Its symptoms started in 2010 while touring with his other band Murderdolls, but the disease was diagnosed long after.
This progressed to the loss use of his left leg. The neurological disease had temporarily cost him the use of his legs and caused him to be unable to play the drums before rehabilitation. He recovered with the aid of medical help and physical therapy.
Percussionist and backing vocalist Chris Fehn #3 Chris left the band in 2019, Chris’s mask has a long nose like Pinocchio. Percussionist/backing vocalist Shawn Crahan #6 A.K.A. Clown because he wears a clown mask.
Sampler/synthesizer and keyboardist Craig Jones #5 Craig mask is black with long needles pointing out if it. Craig never talks, he doesn’t talk to media/interviews, he even doesn’t talk to other members of the band.
Vocalist Cory Taylor said in a interview the reason why Craig doesn’t talk is because that who he is, a guy that can speak but doesn’t, Cory Taylor also said this when Craig does talk it’s scary because he will be right behind you and you don’t even know he’s their and Cory said when Craig speaks you listen and the band gave him the nickname the quiet one.
DJ/Turntables Sid Wilson #0. New Slipknot Members are new bassist Alessandro Venturella nickname V-man he replaced Paul Grey on bass Alessandro joined the band in 2014 on Slipknot 5th album .5 the Gray chapter. New drummer Jay Weinberg replaced drummer Joey Jordison, Jay Weinberg Joined the band in 2014 also on the band 5th album.
Michael Plaff nickname Tortilla man because his mask looks like a melted/burn tortilla he replaced Chris Fehn on Percussion and backing vocals, Michael Plaff joined the band in 2019 on the band’s 6th album we are not your kind. The three new Slipknot members don’t have numbers.
You guys nailed this f**king song!!! 🤌🏼
Fun fact about this music video: they filmed it in a house that was scheduled for demolition but Slipknot was still fined for all the destruction that was done to the house
Fun fact. This video was actually filmed in a fans house, but after they completely destroyed it, they bought him a brand new house.
Slipknot fans are actually referred to as Maggots lol.
All of their stuff is excellent.
The video has been on there for 13 years, the _song_ is older than that, like early 2000s. And 'push my fingers into my eyes' is when you rub your eyes with your fingers instead of the heels of your hand.
12:23 the crazy thing is, every show they do, they stop the crowd like this before hitting REALLY hard they get crowds of like 100k to just…chill for a second…you should do a react to their song “spit it out” live and the music video
They wear mask as a way to make viewers focus on the music and lyrics instead of the people making it. Corey Taylor has an amazing voice and majority of people dismiss them for their looks before they ever listen.
Corey Taylor, lead singer, is kind of like a Metal version of Ren, in terms of range.
Maggots, fans are called maggots because from the stage the crowd just looks like maggots.
AOV is a song you should check out, hits a lot of sounds ( heavy, melodic, singing) and watch Corey Taylor solo, live version of Snuff ( the one with a billion views )
You guys should definitely keep getting out of your swim lane, you will find a whole new world to resonate with
“Melancholy riddler” was hilarious lol
Yesss! Been with these guys since Iowa. 🤟
I just commented on your KoRn video. This is my best friend's Slipknot song. Also, my 16yo son's favorite band. Annnnnnnd I was one of the original fans...cassettes being handed around type of original. Wait and Bleed will always be my favorite song. Btw...I found y'all via Ren. Diverse musically.
The people in the video are not actors. They’re just Slipknot fans who were invited to come for the video. The house is actually someone’s house who basically told them to do whatever.
Got to let your in chaos out sometimes, silent aggression spoke for us. Saying the things your truly thinking but held back, it's a drive to keep you going, upping the tempo of your life, basically telling you to focus.
A lot of people interrupt metal for "devil music" but its very emotional for the most part.
From what I know about the masks were originally meant to give the members anonymity and put focus on the music instead. Each member designs there mask and they have meanings behind each one. There are videos on YT explaining them. They change the mask every album and sometimes per tour.
Slipknot has a lot of songs that are great, some of my favorites are Devil in I, Psychosocial, Wait and Bleed, Snuff, Before I Forget, Nero Forte, and Duality. There are more, but those are my most listened to songs from them.
"Before I Forget" is another digestible banger. "Purity" for crazy drums and lyricism
talking about sweating...i saw Slipknot at Ozzfest in Atlanta. it had to be in the upper 90s and high humidity, heat index was most likely near 110 when they went on. full masks and jumpsuits. Cory Taylor shortly into the first set had to stop and throw up. The mask NEVER came off! after a moment he continued and they NEVER stopped till the end. The man is a machine and it was one of the most metal things i have ever seen live at a show
Sometimes it's kind of sad to see people assuming metal song as satanic and full of rage, but not for me tho, metal songs is a great therapy for me, whenever I feel frustrated I used to listen some metal songs after that I feel more calm and I feel confident to face anything. A lot of band who use growl and scream on the vocal not even a satanic. We just enjoy the energy and the hype.
