The reason why this song hits him so hard is because his best friend and fellow band mate Paul helped him write this song. He kept coming over to make sure Corey was ok after a rough break up. Weeks after they recorded the song Paul passed.
This one has a dual meaning for Corey now. Originally the song was written about a relationship. Corey didn't really write things for Slipknot, but when Paul Gray the bassist heard it, he basically championed for it to be finished and released as a Slipknot track. Paul passed away in 2010 from an overdose of morphine and fentanyl. So for Corey, it's not just about lost love, but also the loss of one of his close friend.
You have a beautiful soul ash, thank you for the hug. This song always brings a tear to my eye anytime I hear it. Corey's vocals are raw and powerful. ❤
This song really hits home for me I'm going through a divorce because my wife can't handle my anxiety attacks anymore no I get to watch her walk away with her new man it's hard
"If you still care don't ever let me know" sometimes we try so hard to hold on we just end up doing more damage. they say time heals all wounds but 5 years later I still think about her everyday. this song hits hard.
I first heard this about a year ago. Songs and artists like this are why I’m grateful for reaction channels. I would have most likely never heard this. 😊❤
How can you not shed a few tears listening to this! Beautiful rendition of a great song. I relate to this song so much. I love your passion for music, and your thoughtful reviews.
Im 25 and ive never been in a relationship but it sounds like a painful situation that happens when things dont work out. The unfortunate thing that usually happens to me is that i feel emotions for someone and then i find out that they're already in a relationship and its happened on multiple occasions. But ive put a pause on that and for a couple of years im on a journey of self betterment and i want to keep it going now all i have to do is believe in myself.
I've seen Slipknot perform this song many times but this acoustic version just tears me apart. Corey is a legend. Thank you Ash for doing this one, makes me sad but still one of my favorite Slipknot songs. Hugs from NYC
You're amazing! Giving your expression out to the world in such an open way and trying to give advice to the ones who lost the hope for love is priceless! Love you!
My ex ran out about 3 years ago. I've needed a song that said what I couldn't say. I've always had self worth problems and this kinda drove that feeling home. Still working thru it and I'm glad for songs like this and people like you.😊
I think the part that resonated or gets me the most is when he talks about there being an empty space where his heart was. And that you cant hurt whats already dead. Im paraphrasing but i feel like mines been crushed so hard and so long ago through childhood I feel that line like nobody's business. A hard place to recover from. Not sure i will but it helps to know your not alone and everyone deals with grief.
Ive been in and out of toxic relationships and this song has helped through each and every one of them. It makes me cry but ive come to learn sometimes crying is good. It helps you let out emotion. But i rarely have someone i can just talk to about my issues so this song has been close with me. If anyones reading this just know youre not alone and its okay to cry.
Hey, I love your reaction video's. This is such a nice song ♡. I also would recommend a song. It's called Snow white and Rose red by Blackbriar and Ulli Perphonen. I would love to see some more reaction videos of that, since there aren't many. Don't worry if you got other plans. Have an amazing rest of your day, and stay safe♡♡
I remember sitting in my girlfriend's car while she went into a gas station when I heard this come on the radio for the first time. I was instantly drawn to it. I was like holy shit what a song.
This is one of those songs that some days I just have to skip when it comes up on a playlist coz I will just end up in bits - not a good look on the 8:20 train to work 😢 We have a saying here in Glasgow - what’s for you will not go by you - in other words, if it’s meant to be it’ll be. I think this song is that saying put to music. On the acoustic thing - I think it’s just naturally a much more intimate feeling when you have just the performer and their instrument and not the whole band, and for songs like this, that’s where it really works. Keep up the great work, much love from Scotland 🏴
Thank you for this reaction. As you say it is a hard song to get through but at the end of the day it is nice to know you are not alone with the hard times.❤❤
This is definitely my go to song whenever I'm depressed. I've always liked the song, but it didn't click with me until after I went through a bad breakup.
Many see to underestimate the reach of this song… the writing is so genius that it’s not a unidirectional love song… Point in case: I dedicate and have sung this song to (to my self) to my Oldest daughter.. we have an estranged relationship.. and while many of the lyrics seem to be romantic.. they directly apply to love and the pain and BS that is love.. this song is our relationship… and she’s gone again… so here I am..
I lived in Portland OR years ago when Slipnot came out and got backstage passes for my friends to Slipnot, Mudvayne, and Ramstien. I worked for a record label I won't name but when we hung out after the show back stage people were hanging out partying and I said to a group that I didn't understand why Slipnot didn't get air time on MTV or metal shows and the guy next to me started talking BIG shit about how his band had spent time and a lot of cash to produce videos that only got play once a week at 3AM on these networks. That guy was Cory Taylor and Joey came to drink with us soon after. We partied so hard that the band was black listed from the venue 🤣Roseland Theatre Portland OR . True Story
Tear up everytime i watch this version..37 year old man 🤦🏻♂️😫😂 the double meaning to this song for corey now and you can just see and feel the pain in this performance
You have been doing some epic songs lately. You should keep it going with some The Pretty Reckless "Only Love Can Save Me Now" or "25" both have acustic versions that hit me the same way this song does.
@@SlashleyReacts I hope you have checked out there newer album Death By Rock And Roll. Actually I kinda hope you haven't so maybe we can get some reactions on it. The whole thing is a 100. Imo there best yet and that's saying something with the previous ones. It's there first album after Chris Cornell and there producer/friend Kato died. So its written from a different mind set I would say, with Taylor dealing with deep depression and substance use. It starts out with so pretty dark stuff and by the end of it it takes on a lighter free feeling. The way that music can make things feel more livable. It is one of the best copping tools there is for sure.
Holy fuck I'm glad I waited until I got home to watch this cuz with the shit I've dealt with the last month or so plus it just being somehow even more emotional acousticly I cried during this video and your message at the end I definitely needed to hear 😭
Fact: Corey, while recovering from an suicide attempt, saw on MTV a song, that made him changing the music he would create from this point and after.. this song was Faith No More - Epic can we have it ,plz?
We all have those songs that hit us like this. Just hearing the few opening chords and it can feel like you're right back in that moment and the knife is being twisted in again. Bottom line is, this is the cost of living. It's going to hurt and that's okay. On the other side of that feeling are better things. Great reaction.
ooof, greatly said.. And it's true.. the knife still may hurt and sting a bit.. But we have learned how to overcome that feeling with time, patience & self love
Virtual hugs back to you Ash, I’ve been through things the past few weeks so I’ve missed a few things! I could do with a current link to discord, every one I’ve found is out of date! Someone who will remain nameless managed to screw up my Discord so I had to get it all back! It’s very relatable to, like you said, your reactions are just so good! Genuine and from your heart 💜
I loved how you addressed the pain those who decide to brake go through. Too many times people just sympathize with the left ones. And I totally agree…acoustic versions always hit deep. Take Nightwish’s “How’s the Heart”: both versions are beautiful but the acoustic one…I hope you are going to react to it
Even if it's this version or the original version, it still hits hard and you can hear the hurt in his vocals. It still gets me even today and I love singing along to this one and think about people who've done me wrong as it's so relatable 🖤🤘
yep.. i feel this to my core... it definitely takes you back to memories.. so good.. some bad... some bittersweet.. but no matter the memories, we all can relate in one way or another and realize that we are NOT alone
This is one my all time favorite live videos, goosebump central every time lol. I think you’ll really enjoy his live video for his songs from his band Stone Sour. The songs are Home and Zzyzx Rd, he does both songs back to back in the video.
Corey Taylor is an amazing singer and has gone through tough times. Please check out "Bother" from Corey Taylor. It's from the same show and the crowd really amazes Corey which helps him get through a tough song.
Think I just found my new shrink. Yeah, this version brings back memories of old feelings. Wish I could cry but I haven't been able to cry since '08 when I had my wreck.
Thank you for referencing my huge ass walls! There’s so many things in the way that I don’t think I’ll ever be right! I’ll always break down with this song but I love the song!
This is absolutely my favorite version of Snuff. Raw and emotional, the way it was meant to be. Every line of this song plays my nervous system like strings on a guitar. To be honest, I'm not ok, but I'm still trying.
It took me a long while to be okay again. I'm not your target demographic, I'm 57 when this is a great song, first time hearing the acoustic version. I deserved it though. I was the aggressor but my heart has not been the same though. No other for 28 years. I get it, hearing the original Snuff to this one... Yeah. Sigh. I'm doing better now.b
I have no idea how listen to this song before I go to bed at night, because it makes me think about ex girlfriend from high school and that was probably over 20 years ago, and I still have her picture on my phone and kiss it before I go to bed.

Doesn't matter how many times I watch this it hits me. Tears will flow but it's good for the soul.
It truly is!
This one has a dual meaning for Corey now.

Paul passed away in 2010 from an overdose of morphine and fentanyl. So for Corey, it's not just about lost love, but also the loss of one of his close friend.
I was about to write the same thing as to why it's so hard for Corey to sing this song now because of Paul passing.
Do a song by Staind called " Something to remind you" that's a sad song.
You have a beautiful soul ash, thank you for the hug. This song always brings a tear to my eye anytime I hear it. Corey's vocals are raw and powerful. ❤
Thank you,.. I hope you are doing well.. and yea, his vocals whether raw or studio are always fantastic!
You're welcome, I'm doing a little bit better. Thank you for asking. 🤘❤
This song really hits home for me I'm going through a divorce because my wife can't handle my anxiety attacks anymore no I get to watch her walk away with her new man it's hard
@@SavageBeast1190 I feel your pain homie but time heals all wounds.
Simp
Every time i hear this version i get goosebumps in my hole body.
Big warm hug back to you Ash ❤
there's soo much emotion in his voice with this song... literally just breaks my heart
"If you still care don't ever let me know" sometimes we try so hard to hold on we just end up doing more damage. they say time heals all wounds but 5 years later I still think about her everyday. this song hits hard.
This whole show is wonderful. I frequently pull it up just to listen to the whole show.
I'm going to have to listen to more from this show
Appreciate the hug. As a almost 60 year old retired Marine, this always hits me in the feels
I first heard this about a year ago. Songs and artists like this are why I’m grateful for reaction channels. I would have most likely never heard this. 😊❤
aweee, well let me start by saying that we are also very grateful for you!!
hope you are well!!
The second you asked “are you okay?” I burst into tears heartbreak sucks
Angels lie to keep control. My favorite line
Thank you. Today is a bad day for me and you added some kindness to it.
I hope it got better for you 🥺
How can you not shed a few tears listening to this! Beautiful rendition of a great song. I relate to this song so much. I love your passion for music, and your thoughtful reviews.
Angels lie to keep control. Yeah, this song is a masterpiece.
Just saw Corey live last night… he is too good… please don’t take him from us
Im 25 and ive never been in a relationship but it sounds like a painful situation that happens when things dont work out. The unfortunate thing that usually happens to me is that i feel emotions for someone and then i find out that they're already in a relationship and its happened on multiple occasions. But ive put a pause on that and for a couple of years im on a journey of self betterment and i want to keep it going now all i have to do is believe in myself.
hugs all around. i was singing this with you, corey and all the fans.
This song always hits me, it could be a friend of mine being talked about. Lost him to cancer 5 years ago come July. Ugh
You sending out a hug, I send a hug back to you too! Wholesome reaction and response from you and your thoughts on the subject matter!
I love this for his vocals AND the audience participation.
You’re the first person I’ve seen react to this that knows the words. Props. Love Corey Taylor stuff.
I've seen Slipknot perform this song many times but this acoustic version just tears me apart. Corey is a legend. Thank you Ash for doing this one, makes me sad but still one of my favorite Slipknot songs. Hugs from NYC
Big hug, this song reminds me the painful moments i went through, but its a reminder it wasnt meant to be. Thankfully i am in a better place now
You're amazing! Giving your expression out to the world in such an open way and trying to give advice to the ones who lost the hope for love is priceless! Love you!
Thank you for being you! HUGS!
I have watched this hundreds of times and I still get a lump in my throat.
My ex ran out about 3 years ago. I've needed a song that said what I couldn't say. I've always had self worth problems and this kinda drove that feeling home. Still working thru it and I'm glad for songs like this and people like you.😊

Much love and respect from The UK
Hi, I was there and if you like the audience singing along then the song Bother from this show is a must watch 🤘 Have a great day all.
Thanks for the wise words. ❤

Damn that eyeliner of yours is so good :D And I also love the song and stuff haha
I'm not okay, thanks for asking though, handing out tissues if anyone needs some and you're an absolutely gorgeous human being Ash
Big hug for you too, Ash! Love your reactions, and wishing you continued growth and even greater success!
thank you so much!!!
Hey, I love your reaction video's. This is such a nice song ♡. I also would recommend a song. It's called Snow white and Rose red by Blackbriar and Ulli Perphonen.
I would love to see some more reaction videos of that, since there aren't many. Don't worry if you got other plans.
Have an amazing rest of your day, and stay safe♡♡
This is one of my favorite songs RIP Cali my love 😢😢😢
Biggest hugs right back at you ❤
I remember sitting in my girlfriend's car while she went into a gas station when I heard this come on the radio for the first time. I was instantly drawn to it. I was like holy shit what a song.

Hi Ash, Dope reaction! Also dope shirt 🖤
Thank you...Just thank you
Thank you for this reaction. As you say it is a hard song to get through but at the end of the day it is nice to know you are not alone with the hard times.❤❤
absolutely this... It always helps to surround yourself with people that "understand" what you're going through... and have a positive impact on you
Here’s a hug right back at you 🖤 this song makes me tear up every time
This is definitely my go to song whenever I'm depressed. I've always liked the song, but it didn't click with me until after I went through a bad breakup.
Same!
"It took the death of hope to let you go" is such a difficult lyric.
Many see to underestimate the reach of this song… the writing is so genius that it’s not a unidirectional love song…
Point in case: I dedicate and have sung this song to (to my self) to my Oldest daughter.. we have an estranged relationship.. and while many of the lyrics seem to be romantic.. they directly apply to love and the pain and BS that is love..

This whole acoustic show is fire!
IYou should check out this entire show not just this one song it's All amazing it's Corey Taylor live on London almost 2hrs definitely worth it
I love this song and especially this performance.
The feels everytime
Fact: Corey, while recovering from an suicide attempt,
saw on MTV a song, that made him changing the music
he would create from this point and after..
this song was
Faith No More - Epic
can we have it ,plz?
This whole Concert was Absolutely Amazing. Watch it at some point.
Huge hugz back to you Ash
I have performed this song too many times.......great song.....Corey is a lyrical genius......

the acoustic version just hits differently
Corey Taylor- Snuff (Feat. That one amped guy in the audience)
It takes the courage of others to scream what some of us keep in silent
THIS
Hugs right back atcha, Ash.
I don't know why, but every time I hear this song, an irrepressible sadness echoes in my soul and then I feel sad almost all day...
I loved how you addressed the pain those who decide to brake go through. Too many times people just sympathize with the left ones. And I totally agree…acoustic versions always hit deep. Take Nightwish’s “How’s the Heart”: both versions are beautiful but the acoustic one…I hope you are going to react to it

Corey Taylor is an amazing singer and has gone through tough times.
Please check out "Bother" from Corey Taylor. It's from the same show and the crowd really amazes Corey which helps him get through a tough song.
oof.. I can already tell from the title of that song what it may be about.. but thank you!!!
Love you Ash 🤗
Think I just found my new shrink. Yeah, this version brings back memories of old feelings. Wish I could cry but I haven't been able to cry since '08 when I had my wreck.
Well any time you need a cry or are able to cry, know that it's always ok. And don't let ANYONE tell you otherwise! even yourself!!!
Thank you for referencing my huge ass walls! There’s so many things in the way that I don’t think I’ll ever be right! I’ll always break down with this song but I love the song!
yep.. the walls are tough to bring down.. but little by little we learn to
Check out "From can to can't" by The Sound City Players!!!!! Corey on vocals!!!!!
This is absolutely my favorite version of Snuff. Raw and emotional, the way it was meant to be. Every line of this song plays my nervous system like strings on a guitar.

You should hear him sing wicked game.....unbelievable
This one gets me everytime 😢
I hope you're ok🥺
