- Today I'm finally hearing the band Slipknot, starting with the song "Duality." I previously reacted to an acoustic performance from their lead vocalist, Corey Taylor, but needless to say this song is something very different.

You didn’t even need to speak mate. Your facial expressions & body language said it all HAHA love it 👌
lol I was just thinking she usually pauses throughout the reaction to go over her observations...
The song was too brilliant to stop 😁
@@martynschickerling6176 Define “music”
I didn’t even listen to the reaction after just during.
Nuff said
@@martynschickerling6176 oh shit, your the person who decides what is and isnt music? Damn your highness my bad for not recognizing. Is your dad still CEO at microsoft too?
The faces. Looks like our buddy has some metal angst in her waiting to come out =) Fun fact: Corey suffers from Migraines so the "stick my fingers in my eyes, its the only thing that slowly stops the ache" is actually how he used to deal with them. RIP Joey
As migrane patient I can relate
I miss Joey
I never knew this song was about this, as someone that suffers from chronic headaches caused by brain damage I totally relate... I appreciate the song much more, even though I find that Slipknots vocals are to much in front of the mix, I prefer the focus to be on the instrumentals...
@@Kholdaimonwow, you did a whole lot in this comment. Threw your trauma in to make it about you being a victim while simultaneously complimenting and talking shit on the band. AT THE SAME DAMN TIME. Wow 👏🏽 I would hate to have to spend time with you but well done 😅
I can't believe people actually think this song is about migraines 😂.
This song is not about migraines. That's a stupid story that has been rotating the internet for years.
This song is about the duality within the soul. Darkness vs light. Fear vs love.
Corey is a super empath. He and I, for that matter, feel the world very differently than most people.
"I push my fingers into my eyes
It's the only thing that slowly stops the ache
But it's made of all the things I have to take
Jesus, it never ends, it works it's way inside
If the pain goes on, I'm not gonna make it" because a super-empath can't not feel. We can't not see all the pain, suffering, and ignorance of the world.
"I've gotta say what I've gotta say
And then, I swear, I'll go away
But I can't promise you'll enjoy the noise" because super-empaths always speak the truth as they see it. Even if it's not pretty.
"Tell me the reality is better than the dream
But I found out the hard way
Nothing is what it seems" because super-empaths see beyond the bullshit. We feel everything.
"All I've got is insane" because that is how it feels for a super-empath to navigate the world for most of our life, until we wake up to who we are.
Fun fact: You can clearly see the duality in Corey's soul in Slipknot and Stone Sour. Slipknot represents the darkness, and Stone Sour is the light. It's all about spirituality. His solo project, BTW, could only happen when he reunited with Alicia, which is another part of his spiritual journey. Listen to the lyrics of the songs. It's about a Twin Flame journey. Most of Corey's songs are about Twin Flames in both Slipknot and StoneSour. I can give a whole lecture about that topic alone.
Plus, if you listen to Corey talk about his tattoos, you will learn that all of them are about duality. Mine, too, BTW. It's who we are. Super-empaths. Heyokas. Look it up 😉.
Many blessings 🙏. Much love and light ❤✨.
Just watching your eyes and facial expression / movements was priceless! Your honest reaction and willingness to expose yourself to so many new types of music is what makes your channel so great!
SlipKnot is real heavy stuff but they've got so much groove too. Not like twist dancing groove, but it's good for "try not to bob your head" challenges.
Yeah I mean my brain just started playing do nothing/b1tch slap
( yes the very groovy part, ooh oooh 😂)
Like these basslines?excuse me
It's pretty good, but it's not that heavy tbh...
I love slipknot, but except for Iowa slipknot is not that heavy
From an article about the song:
Lead singer Corey Taylor explained: "Did you ever get that headache that is just not going to go away, and you end up sticking your thumb and your middle fingers so far into your eyes just to stop the pain? It usually has to do with making a choice. you get to that point in everyday life that you have to make a decision that you may not want to, but your kind of pushed into making that decision." >>
Holy shit, i get migraines AND push my thumb and middle finger into my eye when they get bad, and somehow never made the connection to the song
omg never thought about it that way I have migraines and do that all the time
I know a lot of people will recommend more of their heavier songs to react to, but "The Devil In I" is a great one that shows off most of Corey's incredible vocals.
One of my top all time favorites along with Psychosocial!
Hell yeah my fav
Hell yeah my fav
Naw... Purity, eyeless, me inside... Their self title and Iowa are their best albums..
I think you woul love to hear Vermilion part 1 and 2 from slipknot. As a high-school kid i could not even fathom this music, but as i got older, the songs just hit so much deeper than my small mt dew addled brain could handle at the age of 15.
Absolute best
very much agree, great choices
This video and the Five Finger Death Punch video, you watched/listened to the whole song and then went back and did your analysis of the song/vocals. I Absolutely Love this type of reaction. We get to watch you experience the song without interruption the way we listen to music. (I do understand if you have to pause for copyright reasons) but still love this way more. No matter what, lol I’m still gonna watch! Love your content!!!
I agree 100%
@@primemover1416 same 👌
I love her reactions and how she catches the detailes. Pure delight. The song is a masterpiece, btw. One of the sickest metal tunes ever made
definitely one of the more iconic metal songs of that era (if not of all time)
WAIT AND BLEED next!
IKR?
Best concert I've ever seen. The stage show is like nothing you can describe accurately lol
Fun Fact about this video: this is actually a fans house. They willingly let hundreds of people destroy their house for a "Slipknot" video.
Also, this song is about Corey Taylor having migraines, which the house serves as a metaphor for his head with all the people running in and breaking it being the pain from headaches. That's why in the parts where he's kinda talk-singing, he's sounding like he's got his hand on his own head to alleviate pressure and the line "I push my fingers into my eyes" also has the same relief-effect.
well... they weren't _reaaally_ supposed to destroy the house, but got carried away. lol
(insurance made it all good though in the end)
I hope he discovered acupressure points for the migraines like I did
There are actually two, one on the eyebrow and one under the eye at the underside of the skull, that could be pushed instead
So if anyone reading this suffers from headaches that make you wanna push your fingers into your eyes check it out
That fullness, you mention, that Corey Taylor maintains, even with most of his harsh vocals, is a cornerstone of my metal experience.
Metalheads sometimes say metal relaxes them, and with Corey's voice I can actually put my finger on it (for myself at least). His vocals feel centered. He is giving us all this emotion, aggression and harshness, yet more often than not it sounds like he still has a little more, if he wanted to. It feels stable.
That mix of the harshness, providing such a good vent for my own frustration, and the control I hear in it, does a lot for me emotionally.
It's not unique to metal. I can think of one non-metal song in which the vocalist manages to give me the same feeling. It's a powerful place to project from, I imagine.
Seeing Slipknot in concert is a great experience, too. They don't disappoint
Love this women reactions!! I was funny watching Bethany face change as it kept going 😃 a mixture of amazement, shock and gratitude for the band! Well done young lady well done.
I went to an outdoor SLIPKNOT concert, THEY BLEW ME, AND EVERYONE ELSE THERE, AWAY. I was apprehensive before the show how they would sound, THEY are great, and sound great LIVE
You must must must do a song from Mudvayne. The song "Happy", I think it will lend so well to your series and musical adventure.
I have been watching your videos today and subscribed. I love your take on all these bands I grew up listening to. The first video I saw of your by random occurrence was the video you saw Tool for the first time and preforming "Sober" live. Then it started me down a rabbit hole of so many of your videos. You show so much respect to the specific talents and there is such an amazing innocent way of taking in the music and professionalism to all you say. I can honestly learn so much from your videos. I 100% do not hate that I came across your channel and can't wait to see more. Cheers and thanks for sharing your craft in the way you are doing it, so cool and respectful.
Absolutely, Happy is a must. One of my fav
Or Not Falling😈👍
Happy is fantastic. good suggestion
I was thinking Mudavyne as well. My impulse was to recommend "Death Blooms" , because it's a better showcase of Chad's vocals, but it's a bit more "experimental" in structure and may not be for everyone.
I was also thinking that something from Audioslave would be great too or sSoundgarden but after watching a few videos and saw Chris was listened to on a couple posts. I figured with something that may not have been known to the creator might be a better post for her. However, I would think the songs such as "Bring Em Back Alive" or "Light My Way" would be great suggestions too. I also just want to throw it out there but Queens of the Stone Age should be mentioned as a another path down the rabbit hole that should be experienced by all music appreciating owners of ears and lovers of talent.
Being someone who judges a book by it's cover (who doesn't unless you are blind) I've seen there pictures wondering "What's with the clowns(??) but gotta say WOW HOLY FREAKING SMOKES ‼️ These gentlemen know there craft! A lot of precision in the choices they've made in what to PUNCH and not! Seen comments for EYELESS and VERMILION!!?? Cool!! New stuff for Me Too!! Thanks Bethany and Fans there OF!! Peace 🕊️☮️♾️😎
If you liked this one I'd check out Before I forget, it's off the same album.
The whole point of a cover is to be judged
@@SotonSam If the cover is "Judged" with a thumbs up then you are 100% correct BUT if "Judged" with a thumbs down then you have to be 100% wrong. The best BAD outcome to hope for is a Maybe? Perhaps the "DRAW" would be a Peeked Interest!!?? Also a cover is for Protection 😉☮️
It's probably been mentioned, but if your looking for Corey Taylor's more vocal selections.... "Through Glass" is something I would love to see this type of reaction to
Unfortunately, that's just all soft fry and breath control. One of his easiest vocals
The first song I ever heard by these guys was "Eyeless" and it will always be my favorite. 25 years later I still use it to decompress after any particularly trying day. So much rage it acts as a release.
Vol 3 was my first album and I love every song on it. 20 years later I still l play it when I need to let out some anger.
Huge fan of your work. Nothing specific to be said, but I love how you're skills allow you to listen to any genre of music and break down the basic skills needed to perform the track. So much respect and joy anytime you post a new reaction. Thank you!
So pleasing to see a react video where you actually show you going through it in one go and we can see your expressions as they happen. Getting into the analysis after is a perfect way to do this.
As many people have mentioned, your eyes gave away your reaction and I think that was incredibly amazing! I would absolutely LOVE to hear YOUR reaction to Slipknot's song Left Behind as that is one that really... REALLY resonates with everyone that I have played it for, including me. And, in my opinion, there hasn't been anyone that has reacted to this song and done it justice as I know you would! You're by FAR my favorite reviewer of songs! No fake reactions from you, which I love!
Bethany! I loved watching your facial expressions as you watched this video as the song played along.. your head just swaying back and forth.. was great
the way you describe every detail of the song, it's so cool.... you're amazing 👏 👏👏🫶🫶
Brilliantly worded. It’s truly mind blowing how well the deepest of existential themes can be expressed through both vocals and instruments. You can truly feel the pain they’re going through when writing this song. And as you mentioned, it’s truly authentic. It’s not just a song about anguish, anxiety, depression, mental breaking points, etc… it’s a connection to those existential, primal feelings.
Sorry if you have but you should do an Opeth song. Either Harvest by Opeth or Ghost of Perdition Live at Red Rocks.
I can tell by your body language and terminology that you’re connecting to it.
Also, the way he kind of mumbles out the words in the very beginning of the song put you in this catatonic like lullaby state. Just in a more darker existential way.
My Teenaged sons turned me on to Slipknot 25 years ago. The band is from Des Moines, Iowa. Very creative band, I would love to see one of their live shows. RIP Joey and Paul.
I liked that you watched the whole video start to finish for your raw reaction, and then you went back and dissected it. I wish more music reaction videos did that. Good video.
Watching you watch this took me back to my first time hearing Slipknot. Which was this song. I love that youwatched all the way through and really soaked it up in its entirety
I’ve had the pleasure of watching only a few of your reactions and I can’t remember you moving around very much. It really brings tears to my eyes and joy to my heart seeing someone react to something I’ve listened to for years. 🤘🏻🔥💥🙏🏻💯 Subbed
I have no idea what it is but just watching your facial expressions and you bobbing and feeling the music is so entertaining. Also really like how open you are to all different types of genres. So many people want to just shun away any type of metal music saying it's "just noise"
I remember downloading the Video back in the day with one kind of proto ipod and watching it on my way to school
I've completely absorbed it in its entirety to a point I feel like I was part of it
I also make sure to wish blessings upon the people from the vid
It's so raw and honest and energetic and never gets old
So it's glorious watching my fave vocal analyst react to one of my all time favourites 😊
Amazing
The only vocal coach channel i watch. To the point reactions and great breakdown.
Damn!
You're facial expressions watching and listening to this told an amazing story. Absolutely awesome reaction to an absolutely awesome song.
I've always been amazed by how beautiful his voice is. I especially love it in Wait and Bleed.
Friendly concern: I thought YT doesn't like whole video playbacks with little commentary at that time. Otherwise, I love your spot on breakdown of every detail that skipped my conscious by. That brings so much more understanding & appreciation for the song & artist, and your passion is so clear and infectious it resparks my love of music too. For that & your excellent content, I thank you very much 🙂
You earned a sub, you completely observed all the right things, and spoke about what i felt when i first heard this song
For me, this is the first seen her so deep in the song that she never paused the video. Is her head moving slightly and body telling her she is getting charmed by the song. She was hypnotized
You have the most honest reactions, it's refreshing. If I'm not mistaken you are originally from Iowa, these guys are arguably have been the top metal band for years. That is something to be proud of as an Iowan. Great job on your videos, loved the Triumph reactions also.
Rip Joey! Great reaction, their live shows have so much energy. Corey is so good. Strong emotional songs to release stress and fun to sing along with. ❤❤Bethany, keep up the great work.
I saw Slipknot live in Reno, Nevada on the day their debut album went platinum. "Wait and Bleed" live is an entire experience. It was like being thrown into a horror movie.
It was great seeing your reaction to this. I've watched quite a number of your videos, and this is the first I'd seen, where you watched the entire video all the way through w/out stopping. I know, Slipknot is a lot to take all at once. lol I've listened to them for 30 years now, since the earliest iteration of the band, before Corey Taylor had even joined, and while I was a much bigger fan of their older recordings, it's always interesting to see someone's reaction to their first listen to them.
Loved it 🤘🏼🤪🤘🏼As always GREAT reaction and analysis.
This is how it’s done… watch it through and then go back and do the start pause, thoughts. I’ve been waiting for this. Thank you
One of my favorite videos from them. I still remember watching this in high school and wanting to experience something like this. Over the years I’ve gotten to and there’s nothing like being surrounded by people who love this music like you do. Great reaction!
If you haven’t checked out Slaughter to Prevail - Demolisher yet, you should. Would love to see you react to that at some point.
If you enjoy reacting to slipknot, I think you'd really love Vemilion Part 1 and 2. Same song but completely different in nature, would make for two great videos
Beautiful way that you put your words”it makes me sad because I can hear the anguish” I love hearing how you break down songs. You are able to encapsulate what I feel as I also heard the song for the first time. Sexy, smart and a wonderful insight to the feelings in a song. Xoxoxo respectfully
I love your actual first reaction where you didn't want to stop the recording even for a moment because you were, a little shocked, a little in a trance, a little in awe. Of course, I liked the later analysis as well, but it was all about the first impact. Love it
I want to take this moment to thank you. When I watch your reactions, I see your sincerity for the beauty of music and lyrics. Many people get caught up in the appearance of Band X, and it distracts them from their real motives. The feeling that lyrics and sound cause us to emote. It is here where we identify, and the artist becomes relatable. In some ways, we feel like we 'know' the artist, even though we've never met. This is the beauty of the song.
Your expreesions=priceless 🤘🤣 one of the greatest reactions 👏
Amazing reaction Bethany! I didn't know what you would say after the first play through. Then you devoured every morsel Corey delivered. Bravo! Those masks are quite gruesome. Wow.
Absolutely love that you dont chop the song up the first time! That's how you do a reaction! Well done.
Really like the full playtrhough, and then analysis going back on the video
GREAT. Keep going, you are the best!!
Just enjoying when watching your reaction of my favourite songs....you don't fake reaction,,,I can see that you definitely watch first time! No fake, respect sweet girl! 😊❤
Dude I love the channel, only new to it but love the reactions. Can I just suggest one thing? Not sure what quality those ear buds are but you should really invest into some high quality open headphones, they will change your whole sound signature on every song you listen to. I have Sennheiser drop 6XX and they freak me out with what you can hear. I'm sure you buy better but all have a high price tag. Love watching vocal coaches listen to metal and you do a sick job. That was a really great reaction with great commentary, its great to see your love for metal grow from what I've seen. Pretty chick with growing love for metal, you have my support. Awesome video.
I think you're a fan of metal and you don't even know it. Your movement, your pained face at the right moments, everything. Awesome. And I love how you don't censor. The music keeps its artistry with the lyrics that artists wrote. Beautiful. Thanks yo.
Bethany was mesmerized first watch, then the analysis was spot on.
This is amazing!!! Love this song!
Great analysis. You are a rare gem. Any man would be extremely lucky to have a woman like you.
i love any reaction video but i like how you actually fully listen to the song first with no pauses and then analyze it
The drumming is just amazing!
Corey Taylor is such a chameleon. You listen to songs like this one or "Before I Forget", and then you hear something like "Hesitate" or "Zzyzx Rd", and it's hard to believe it's the same voice.
Standard Corey Taylor Talent Reaction 😂 usually there's a lot of pausing on this channel but the song made it almost ENTIRELY in one chunck!! Love your reactions, never stop
This video reminds me of the couple Slipknot shows I've been to. Man, the live energy is incredible!
I love your beautiful reaction to this I really don't think you know what to make of this your face reaction to this is priceless I know it took a minute for you to like it but at first I know you didn't know what to make of it the look on your face gave it away I believe this to be your best reaction yet because seriously all the different looks on your face I love it and l was watching you move then the video
lol! I LOVE how you can SEE her trepidation and then the moment when she GETS it! Y'all, this lady is great. I could watch her do this all day.
Bethany says " O Kay" , then youtube cut to an advert for a chocolate easter bunny.....laughed soooo hard I had a coughing fit......excellent 😈👍
Visceral reaction is what i needed today.
I always heard the vocals in this song as that distant sound being the internal dialogue in his mind. The forward sound you describe being the verbal audible to the rest of the world. The “I push my fingers into” being that middle ground. Between the internal dialogue to the external “my eyes”
i love how you were just mesmerized for three minutes straight. this is the correct reaction to this song and its accompanying music video, imo.
You earned a new subscriber :D love it!!
I had the chance to see Slipknot live in 2022, and I can say without hesitation that their show is an experience, and not just a "music concert". One awesome spectacle!
Can't wait to see you do more of Slipknot. I'd recommend checking out Psychosocial, the Devil in I and Spit It Out Live at Download 2009
I remember buying this when I was 15 in woolworths and it still one of the best slipknot songs ever.
I. Love❤. This. Video. The best part for me is the breakdown and the pent up aggression and anger in the kids faces.
Hello Ms. Beth, I think the word you are looking for when describing the aesthetic of Slipknot is "visceral." Love the channel 😀😀
Such a great reaction.
Man, I don't want to think about how long ago this was, but my first encounter with this song and the band was at a roller rink school excursion. I didn't even know I was into metal at the time, but a kid I thought was cool was singing it on the bus journey to the venue and he played it on his phone (bloody rare thing to even be able to do in those days, might have been a walkman or something but my memory is telling me otherwise) when we got there, and even in that lo-fi, tinny distortion I could feel something pretty special coming through.
Lol omg so many giffable moments. Brilliant. They definitely are a surprise the first time
Fact : the clip video cost minimum 300k because it was turned at a fan's house that was due for renovation, and features the band performing inside the house surrounded by dozens of fans both inside and outside the house, which gets destroyed in the process as the fans crash through the windows and walls. x)
"Duality" has such a personal resonance for me now. I had always loved the song but something made me love it more....
As an adult I got diagnosed with some serious lifelong health problems and had to get an MRI ...I was not looking forward to it. I had seen a lot of doctor dramas, they always made MRI's look like this super anxiety inducing thing where you'll be trapped in a small space, have to hold completely still, and lots of loud annoying noise around you. I was SOO nervous about it. But when I got there, the staff made me comfortable and gave me a choice of music to listen too and I told him the kinds of music I liked and gave me MRI save headphones and put on Spotify.
So when I rolled back into this giant metal tube to get this thing done that I was dreading, I heard Corey Taylor whisper into my ears "I push my fingers into my eyes." and it was so relaxing and I just coasted through the whole thing after that.
You know what that's what I love about metal music because there's so much going on you can listen to it over and over again and then pick out little details that she missed the first few times either in the vocals or in the instrumentals or some things that they're doing with the mix there's a lot of replayability
🤘🏼🔥🔥🔥🤘🏼,,, Great Reaction ❤️
i was just listening to this song last night around 11pm, and i almost could not get to sleep; ya know, those moments that just gets your blood pumping you go on a binge for about 3 to 4 hours with your music because you tell yourself, fuck it, youre alive so keep rockin, plenty of time to sleep when you're dead, right?
---until you remind yourself yer pushin 62 and you've still got to get up to work early! LOL.
Well your facial expressions on the initial run through speak volumes :) Great review. Like some have mentioned i think i prefer you letting it run through and then doing the critique.
It's such a human song; especially the main lyric. I think that's why so many people connect over this kind of music. It's wonderful to see so many people from different genres coming together.
Well done Internet!
Ignore the haters.
We love you x
The live performance is CRAZY. They are fantastic.
Good stuff. Keep it up! 👍🏽
This may be the best reaction vid Ive ever seen haha
I love your facial expressions, your unique!
Loved the reaction and glad that you decided to explore this band. I'd like to make a couple suggestions to help:
1) Before i Forget or Eyeless for some older.
2) The Devil In I and/or All Out Life for some newer stuff (fair warning - the video for Devil In I is pretty intense and might be distracting).
Watch them do Spi It Out live from Britain's Download festival to see corey take control of a crowd.
4) Zzyzx Rd with Stone Sour and I'm Not Jesus with Apocolyptica forba bit different taste of Corey.
Enjoy!
I suggested Lamb of God before . The song 512 is a killer song done by Randy Blyth you should enjoy his vocal control. One of the very best live bands ever.
Next vermilion part two! Pleeeeaseee Corey Taylor has an incredibile clear voice here 🤞🏻
i love seeing your reactions to metal singers. i'd love to hear your thoughts on punk bands like Rise Against or The Misfits.
Just started listening to Slipknot this last year, after I heard this song. In my late 50's now, and getting sucked into heavy rock/metal music. I call this song, my (menapause) song. It's how I feel every f'n day. INSANE.
Corey Taylor... 25 year career and his voice amazing today again
The "I push my fingers into my eyes, it's the only thing that slowly stops the edge"is a reference to the migraines Cory Taylor gets and what he does to help with some of the pain
Welcome to the rabbit hole!😂
There is so much to the lore and history of not only Slipknot but Corey Taylor too!
moshed to this live in atlanta. great show. this song absolutely rocks. 🤘
PS: how do you feel these days now that you've delved deeper into harder music? has it changed your energy or something like that? just kinda curious
