someone in your chat got it wrong, partly. The song was originally written about his ex, and Paul Grey, the bassist of Slipknot pushed him to go forward with the song, and years later Paul died. Now the song has a double meaning due to the loss of his best friend and bassist.
Nailed it Duke. The version I heard was Corey wrote Snuff intending to record it with Stone Sour until Paul heard the song and insisted on bringing the song into the Slipknot library. For all the other Maggots out there check out this live version of Slipknot performing Snuff with Paul on bass. Note that Mick is um...not very excited- hehe czcams.com/video/2v06LT4U2FA/video.html
Quote from Corey Taylor in 2008: "it's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down. At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory." This is an emotional song for Corey because he uses it as a tribute to former Slipknot bassist Paul Gray, who died shortly after the song was released.
I think of that line “Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage” my take on it is that you love as passionately as you hate. They’re basically the same thing but one has a nicer face.
Based on my experience it can also be seen as you take the love to weight out the hate and rage. You can be in a toxic relationship and a common theme is "He/she isn't that bad all the time.. we have good moments as well." and you close yourself inside a box to justify why you still cling on to the relationship. The rage isn't always outspoken but can also be kept inside your own body. It's a real sad piece and the fact that Paul Grey helped him to get out of the relationship (and that I haven't read anything about abusement) I think that it were based on this and Corey Taylor kept so much rage, hate and sadness inside of him all the time. Been there, done that, got out and learnd from it... now happy and stable in a good relationship and can't even understand how I ever got into the bad relationship I had before.
I agree with that idea for a lot of people. But for some people like me, I would assume its more of a "When you love someone or something so deeply, and you lose that person or object of passion, you kinda of lose your bearings of where that emotion lies. And all that love you had for them, turns to rage, hatred and loathing, because it's gone and you will never have that same feeling again."
"The more intelligent...the more creative the dark thoughts." This was very well put. I've always said that there is a very fine line between extreme intelligence and mental instability. Almost like the brain can't handle that level of power without some sort of clapback.
I see it as those with a high degree of intelligence see the world as it really is and dont/cant fool themselves into believing that it is not how it appears to be to them.
@@psychobartus yeh exactly and that's why a lot of them fall to drugs in order to "dumb" down their thoughts. They maybe can't handle the mundanity of life
Corey Taylor is one of this generations greatest song writers...Each generation has one and Corey just happens to be this generations gift from god. The depth of some of his song lyrics are profound. He will be remembered as a legend one day for sure. He is in Numerous bands probably his biggest is Slipknot. He is their lead singer they all wear masks on stage for many years nobody knew who they actually were. He is very prolific in his song writing he has written numerous number ones for a number of different projects. The man is flat out awesome.
you guys hit the nail on the head again. it's about a toxic relationship where he was the problem. He was angry it ended, but eventually he appreciated it & the woman because it helped him learn about himself & himself in relationships. his bassist, before he died, called SNUFF Corey's masterpiece. and it was his favorite song Corey ever wrote. That's why he dedicates it to Paul Graves.
he also won Grammy with his band Stone sour for best hardrock album...he raps, writes and sings in Slipknot.. this dude is so versitale, he has rap duets with Tech9 and few others you can chek
It is about a relationship, someone that helped him through a hard time that he loved and she did not love him back. The song has an even stronger emotional impact for Corey because he worked on the song with a friend in the band who liked the song as much as Corey and has since passed away.
It wasn’t “written” for the lost band member, it was initially written for a destroyed relationship but Corey said this song was better applied to the lost band member.
I’m so impressed with how the both of you interpret lyrics. To give an artist the reverence the two of you do is humbling. Thank you for actually taking the time to listen and understand for yourself.
Slipknot - Spit It Out (Live @ Download 2009) Im pretty sure thats the correct one. Its definitely a must see. And really shows how into their fan base Slipknot is.
I was at the first show Corey ever did it at....Manchester NH 01....fucking AMAZING.....sik show as well....Slipknot, Disturbed, Linkin Park, and Mudvayne
Love is uncontrollable. You fall in love with someone usually without choice. Rage is anger that is past your ability to control. It’s about being out of control with your emotions.
Ahh. I really wanted to hold off on this because Snuff hits me hella hard in the gut. It brings out the tears every time. That is what metal has always done for me. It allowed me to express emotions I don't feel safe expressing in normal situations. At a concert I feel free to go through an entire emotional roller coaster. From tearful joy to sobbing rage and everything in between. Any other time I have just a stone emotionless face. Or a "Smile I practice Not to feel like a Failure." Corey Taylor and his music has been a foundation to keep myself Vertical and Pushing forward in life.
Now that you guys are getting more into rock and metal you are seeing they have lyrics and meaning it isn’t just noise. Good music is good music. This is gonna be a absolute classic from slipknot one of their best songs.
So true. Metal has some of the absolute deepest lyrics and best singers of any genre. I can't tell you how many times I've heard "They scream because they can't sing." Drives me bonkers.
You guys have some of the most genuine reactions on CZcams. I really appreciate that you put effort into understanding the songs, rather than just trying to take them in as singular experiences; it shows you really care. As someone who listens to a bunch of music but is first and foremost a metalhead, it makes me happy to see people discover the genre and grow to be fans! Corey is a very talented person, from Slipknot to Stone Sour to his solo work, so it's definitely great that you got to listen to him. I would suggest that you guys give a listen to Gojira next (I'd go with either Flying Whales or The Heaviest Matter In The Universe). Also, I think you should check out some videos from a metal concert as well. I love what you do with lyric videos, but I think you can really understand metal music and fans through watching a live performance. I think some good examples would be Slipknot's Spit It Out in Download '09, Korn's Blind in Woodstock '99 or any video from Pantera/Metallica from Moscow in '91. Anyway, keep up the good shit, you rock!
@@Dyrtbag68 Do not think it was his ex wife from what I read it was someone who helped him through a tough time that he fell in love with and she did not feel the same. "Again, not naming names its about someone who helped me through a lot and i thought she felt the same way that i did and she really let me down. At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself. The lyrics are pretty self explanatory." Corey Taylor.
This song was recorded with the band member that passed (Paul Gray, bass player), and he often dedicates his performances of this to him. The actual song is about when he was younger, he was in love with a girl thinking she felt the same, and she didn’t. Lead him on and used him etc.
This song now as a adult has so much more meaning to me. When I was deployed in Afghanistan in 2013 I use to listen to this song to help me unwind and clear my head. It made me realize that life is going to suck but at end of the day, if your able to wake up and live then enjoy your life. Even though dark thoughts are around everyone from time to time, it makes us realise without darkness there is no light.
Damn I can't belive how quickly Brad is getting use to just 'feeling' the music, and moving with it. You guys are gonna love this ride. There is so much amazing music out there!
Corey is also the lead singer of a band called stone sour on top of Slipknot!!!!! Might wanna check out some stone sour!!!!!Great reaction as usual!!!!
@@wolfinthesno but it's the last song Slipknot recorded with Paul and Paul helped Corey write this and I also think this was Pauls favorite Slipknot song
@@0iceman092 yeah I was aware of this too...sorry if it seemed like I was calling you out or something I heard them say it was written in response to a band members death and was like...hold up nah that happened after all hope is gone.
After being in lockdown for so long, I can't express how much I miss early mornings after going out, sharing music with people i've just met. And watching this video gives me that feeling again. So thank you
You saying you hate them so much because you love them!. Bloody hell that pulled on the heart strings then. Great video and nice people, sending love from England🍻
I think I've found my new favorite reaction channel. I like your dynamic of one person being more analytical and the other having more 'feeling it' approach. I've listened to your 'The Pot' reaction first and instantly decided to dig through your channel for more - and I was so happy to find first 'Mr. Brightside' and than 'Snuff' reaction. This is are kind of important songs to me as they help me process my emotions of getting out from the relationship that was not meant to be. And I love that you've figured out this 'I love you - I hate you' dynamic. It is very relatable and painful to me, as made 'terminating' my relationship so much longer that it should be (like 2-3 years of 4 years relationship) and I still am not sure if this is over. For me, there is also important transition from sadness and self pity, through hatred of oneself and than blaming the other. And I feel that all this stages are viable as it is possible to both sides to be toxic to each other and it is hard to pin the blame to one person. And now, I was scrolling through my 'Breakup' list to see if there is anything I wish you'd react to. And there are some great (IMO) breakup songs, but instead I think I'd like to see some reactions to under represented artists like Archive ('Again', 'Hatched', 'End of our days') or Vast ('Touched', 'Don't take your love away', 'I didn't want to hurt you')
In fact, this is a Slipknot song and yes, Corey is their guy behind the rubber mask ;) For him this song has a very emotional meaning since their bassist and friend Paul Gray died.
“Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage” my meaning of this is when you love someone it hurts twice as much as when you lose them from a passing. And you you love them so much but it hurts and you rage at the fact they are gone
I stand by my previous statement on ya’lls Slipknot reaction. Corey writes insightful and meaningful songs. Slipknot is a banger of a band. Keep wit em. Earned a sub. Thanks guys
So I took the “Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again” as in, he’s taken on all her worry, all her stress and regurgitates love back to her. If you listen to the previous lines he says “Bury all your secrets in my skin, come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins”. He feels feels rage due to unhealthy (or dark) thoughts forged in his own head, as well as what she trusts him with, but he expresses love instead of rage. Similar to “Fire Away” by Chris Stapleton.
The best thing about Corey Taylor's voice is that it's powerful enough that in the regular song it's still shines through all the music. Both this version and the regular version are amazing songs.
So dope that you guys checked this out after the Slipknot video. This song is one of my favorite songs of all time that I put on from time to time. I want to throw a random suggestion that might not be your cup of tea because you are both so great with the intricate lyrical breakdowns but for musicality alone. Ever heard of loopstation? MB14 vs Saro loopstation battle, or any Saro loopstation really. It is to me one of the craziest things I've seen musically even though it's so not what you guys normally do. Just throwing it out there, and there's a big loopstation community of reaction watchers. Just throwing it out there, cheers for all the entertainment.
Brad and Lex, this song is about a relationship he had that really hurt him. He poured his heart, soul and everything he had into this song and made something so heartfelt and chilling but so beautiful.
I started watching you guys for Tom MacDonald reactions, I'm 41 and grew up with metal. So love seeing how much Lex is getting into the music I grew up with. Got me listening to all my old tunes again. Love seeing the passion. Corey Taylor did an amazing track called "Thru Glass" and an awesome cover of "Wicked Game". May I recommend giving the Artists "Pearl Jam", and "Audioslave" (Singer from "Soundgarden", Music from "Rage Against The Machine"). Thank you so much for getting me to enjoy the Vibes again. Much love from a HOG fan. :~)
Snap I commented before you finished! Yas girl! Delicately layered like a delicious tiramisu. Love that. This song always give me the goosebumps-any version. Enjoy the RE listen 😉
I enjoy your reactions and comments. You give thoughtful, intelligent interpretations of the song lyrics…you’re not always right because it’s difficult to interpret someone else’s thoughts…but you’re generally pretty close. I really like seeing how Lex is really becoming a fan of heavy metal/rock music. People who discount or hate rock don’t know how deep and insightful the lyrics are. They just hear the loud music and screaming voices. For me, the instrumentation is what I love about rock/metal music. I could listen to someone shredding on an electric guitar all night, with no singing, and be perfectly content. But add great lyrics and there are some true masterpieces in the rock genre.
I just found you two, and I have to say you two are beautiful. You're very aware of the emotions of the music you react to. How you only have 41.8k subs, I have no clue. Keep them coming, please. Side note. Look up the CZcams video of his therapy session. I don't remember the channel name, but it's some old black dude. It helps to put this song into perspective. I just watched it a few weeks ago. I had no clue as to the depth of that man. It's definitely worth the watch.
It's about being abandonment. It's about people leaving you. It's about people leaving you when you need them most. It's a song of hurt. It's a song about the pain of someone leaving you physically or mentally. It's a song of pain.
someone in your chat got it wrong, partly. The song was originally written about his ex, and Paul Grey, the bassist of Slipknot pushed him to go forward with the song, and years later Paul died. Now the song has a double meaning due to the loss of his best friend and bassist.
Thanks for clearing that up!!
And Paul absolutely loved that song and playing it live with Cory
@@BradAndLex of course! Love the content, keep it up!
Without Paul this song would never been done

The video follows with what you are saying.
He died years after the song came out
Then who is the "she" in your quote? He wrote it about an ex first but it works well as a Paul tribute so it gained its double meaning
@@thimbletoe Paul helped him write it so that why its also a tribute to Paul.
It was a therapist who took advantage of him. He fell in love, she peaced out after playing on his emotions for personal gain.
Corey is vocalist and song writer for Slipknot
Don't forget Stone Sour.
Oh man, “Bother” and “Through the Glass” by stone sour. “I’m not Jesus” by Apocalyptica feat. Corey Taylor! Love the reactions y’all!!!!
Most definitely, Through Glass is my favorite by Corey.
@@BakerStreetShootout Don't forget "From Can to Can't" with Corey and Dave Grohl. That song is criminally underreacted to. Such a good song.
Definitely prefer Stone Sour, I have to be in a certain mood for Slipknot.
The line "It took the death of hope to let you go" always sends shivers down my spine.
Same. I also like how that line gives a nod to the album title.
I think of that line “Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage” my take on it is that you love as passionately as you hate. They’re basically the same thing but one has a nicer face.
bingo

I always took that as you say you love me but you treat me with hate as is a common thread in abusive relationships
Nailed it
He actually breaks down in that video & almost cries because this song means so much to him. He is so incredibly talented!!
The acoustic version has more emotion but the studio version with music video paints a darker picture
totally agree. They should go watch the official video. This is my favorite slipknot song. :)
The keyboards give it such a dark pull, as well.
With clown as the director of the video it’s always dark and gets the video right to the music
I thought the same thing. The video goes so well with the song.
yeah, you really need to watch both to get the full picture
"The more intelligent...the more creative the dark thoughts." This was very well put. I've always said that there is a very fine line between extreme intelligence and mental instability. Almost like the brain can't handle that level of power without some sort of clapback.

yeah you can tell when he gets to the friend part how he almost chokes up. i cant imagine singing this song after what happened to paul
Ok so now we just need these two to react to the "Through Glass" by Stone Sour. And nobody tell them that its also Corey Taylor...again..

And I feel that all this stages are viable as it is possible to both sides to be toxic to each other and it is hard to pin the blame to one person.
And now, I was scrolling through my 'Breakup' list to see if there is anything I wish you'd react to. And there are some great (IMO) breakup songs, but instead I think I'd like to see some reactions to under represented artists like Archive ('Again', 'Hatched', 'End of our days') or Vast ('Touched', 'Don't take your love away', 'I didn't want to hurt you')
"This is SLAPPING!!!"" You two are great
I love your dynamic. Brad... you assess the lyrics, and Lex is like me. We're just sitting back digging the vibe of the melody.
I love how hype y'all get on my favorite songs.
In fact, this is a Slipknot song and yes, Corey is their guy behind the rubber mask ;) For him this song has a very emotional meaning since their bassist and friend Paul Gray died.
“Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage” my meaning of this is when you love someone it hurts twice as much as when you lose them from a passing. And you you love them so much but it hurts and you rage at the fact they are gone
Great reaction. Y'all reacted to my fave parts exactly like I did the first time I heard this
Lex dropping lyrics. "Darkness parallels the lights." That was deep.
These guys rock 🤩👍thanks a bunch 👍😄
I stand by my previous statement on ya’lls Slipknot reaction. Corey writes insightful and meaningful songs. Slipknot is a banger of a band. Keep wit em. Earned a sub. Thanks guys
This is one of my favorites
So I took the “Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again” as in, he’s taken on all her worry, all her stress and regurgitates love back to her. If you listen to the previous lines he says “Bury all your secrets in my skin, come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins”. He feels feels rage due to unhealthy (or dark) thoughts forged in his own head, as well as what she trusts him with, but he expresses love instead of rage. Similar to “Fire Away” by Chris Stapleton.
The best thing about Corey Taylor's voice is that it's powerful enough that in the regular song it's still shines through all the music. Both this version and the regular version are amazing songs.
this song is just perfect. everything is great..the music...the vocals...the lyrics
great video!!!!!
So dope that you guys checked this out after the Slipknot video. This song is one of my favorite songs of all time that I put on from time to time. I want to throw a random suggestion that might not be your cup of tea because you are both so great with the intricate lyrical breakdowns but for musicality alone. Ever heard of loopstation? MB14 vs Saro loopstation battle, or any Saro loopstation really. It is to me one of the craziest things I've seen musically even though it's so not what you guys normally do. Just throwing it out there, and there's a big loopstation community of reaction watchers. Just throwing it out there, cheers for all the entertainment.
Brad and Lex, this song is about a relationship he had that really hurt him. He poured his heart, soul and everything he had into this song and made something so heartfelt and chilling but so beautiful.
At the same time slipknot’s heaviest and softest song just beautifully tragic
Any time i see a title with Corey Taylor, instant thumbs up
I started watching you guys for Tom MacDonald reactions, I'm 41 and grew up with metal. So love seeing how much Lex is getting into the music I grew up with. Got me listening to all my old tunes again. Love seeing the passion. Corey Taylor did an amazing track called "Thru Glass" and an awesome cover of "Wicked Game". May I recommend giving the Artists "Pearl Jam", and "Audioslave" (Singer from "Soundgarden", Music from "Rage Against The Machine"). Thank you so much for getting me to enjoy the Vibes again. Much love from a HOG fan. :~)
Never heard this version. It's great to see Corey's vulnerability & emotion
Gotta check out the studio version of this, one of my favorite slipknot songs of all time
Snap I commented before you finished! Yas girl! Delicately layered like a delicious tiramisu. Love that. This song always give me the goosebumps-any version. Enjoy the RE listen 😉
Dude I literally grew up to this song 😭💕
This song got me through some dark times Corey Taylor is a top tier song writer
I've always loved this song!
I love their reviews. She is so beautiful and you can tell both of them are very intelligent
I enjoy your reactions and comments. You give thoughtful, intelligent interpretations of the song lyrics…you’re not always right because it’s difficult to interpret someone else’s thoughts…but you’re generally pretty close.
I really like seeing how Lex is really becoming a fan of heavy metal/rock music. People who discount or hate rock don’t know how deep and insightful the lyrics are. They just hear the loud music and screaming voices. For me, the instrumentation is what I love about rock/metal music. I could listen to someone shredding on an electric guitar all night, with no singing, and be perfectly content. But add great lyrics and there are some true masterpieces in the rock genre.
Intelligence in bad people is devastating. Man you two have become my favorite reactors 🤘😤🤘
I just found you two, and I have to say you two are beautiful. You're very aware of the emotions of the music you react to. How you only have 41.8k subs, I have no clue. Keep them coming, please. Side note. Look up the CZcams video of his therapy session. I don't remember the channel name, but it's some old black dude. It helps to put this song into perspective. I just watched it a few weeks ago. I had no clue as to the depth of that man. It's definitely worth the watch.
It's about being abandonment. It's about people leaving you. It's about people leaving you when you need them most. It's a song of hurt. It's a song about the pain of someone leaving you physically or mentally. It's a song of pain.
Great .Great song. !!
Nice reaction,my friends!
