Early on they never showed their faces. They wanted people to focus on the music instead of who they were, and also wanted the little bit of anonymity that came with it. This video was huge when it first came out because it was the first even glimpse of most of them without masks for most Slipknot fans. They gave up trying to never be seen without the masks years ago at this point, with the exception of Craig Jones (spikey head) who never does interviews or anything. The rest of the members have all done various interviews over the years with no masks on.
@@psychosis345 yeah with a crazy beard.. if he took off his shades and shaved you think you could pick him out of a lineup?? I vote Craig Jones for the most famous dude that no one knows. lol
The reason why I love slipknot is they have the perfect balance in their music. Nothing truly takes over. Keeping it melodic and heavy at the same time. Even their heaviest songs are so catchy.
I have to tell you my young friend you made a great choice! I am 63 and fell in love with this band a bunch of years ago. I also enjoy a lot of what you do on your channel. keep up the good work.
I love the progression of your slipknot reactions, early on you seemed a little shocked and almost uncomfortable but now you look like you're genuinely digging their music. Ready to join us maggots at a show? Personally I'd love to see you out there, and a reaction to their stage performances would be a fantastic next step because they go fucking ballistic live. Keep up the great work, man!
100% respect from scotland đŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó żđŽó §ó ąó łó Łó Žó ż thanks for listening to slipknot, welcome to the family my friend also keep up the good work đ€đ€đ€đ€
A top 3 slipknot song for me. What I really like about them now, is how they've transformed from a nu-metal band, to a more arty and experimental one. It happened very gradually too.
I used to find Slipknot to be gimmicky and one dimensional, but the musicianship , vision, and energy of this band really can't be denied, Wow! I never would've thought they'd last 25 years.
This is probably my favorite Slipknot song. I like their music in general, but they're not really an everyday band for me. It's good to see you branching out into metal lately. There's a lot of good music there. And yes. I also like Elvis.
I stumbled randomly onto your first reaction video, i love to see people first time experiencing music i already know, it gets me to the time i heard the same song/video, quite nostalgic times :) Keep on the good work, greetings.
Hey man, I'm usually a lurker and not a commenter, but I just wanted to say I like your style. You seem genuine and not just reacting in a way that is over the top and acted out. Most reaction videos come off as cheesy to me, but I enjoy your work.
Best video from them IMO. They proved that they were focused on their music for all of the haters claiming that they were only interesting b/c of their costumes :)
Itâs so awesome to see all your reactions to so much of the music I grew up listening to. Iâve seen so many of these bands live at concerts, some multiple times, like Slipknot!!! Definitely check out Corey Taylorâs other songs from his other band, Stone Sour. Keep ROCKING on!!!
As a musician, I really appreciate people like you. I appreciate people open minded and show real appreciation for art whether it be lyrical or musical. That being said, I wish you were able to listen to the "studio" version of "Snuff" by Slipknot. Not an official video or live version, but the studio version is so touching and emotional it's hard to describe. Listen to it off camera, your reaction would be great to see, but just being able to experience those lyrics with that music is beyond deep. Sorry for the long post, and thank you for what you do.
For most of the band members the masks are an outward projection of the demons they are dealing with inside. So putting it out there in their music is like therapy. That's why some of the band members' mask changes with each new album. I love all their music, but if you're looking for a more listenable (mainstream) song check out: Duality or Psychosocial
All of their masks change every album cycle, just some much more than others. The masks were originally because they wanted people to focus on the music and not the individuals. It's why they also went by numbers instead of their names. The only one I've seen mention that his mask is a reflection of how he's feeling at the time is Clown.
It was saturday October 30, 1999, day before Halloween when me and a couple buddies went to The Freaker's Ball at the Starplex in Dallas. The lineup was: Chevelle Coal Chamber Machine Head Megadeth Orange 9MM Sevendust Slipknot StaticâX We each took 2 gel tabs (Acid) in the parking lot before walking in. It was wild because everyone was dressed up in their Halloween costumes. I vividly remember a couple dressed as a giant bag of weed and a giant pack of Zig Zag rolling papers. Me and one of my buddies was standing in the lawn area after StaticâX had just finished and we were wearing our rubber masks. I was trying to smoke a cigarette and the tiny mouth holes made it a difficult, but humorous task. Most of the smoke was traveling up inside the mask and coming out the eye holes. I turned around to look at my buddy just as I was exhaling and he said, "whoa DUDE... your eyeballs are smoking!" We're standing there, laughing like a couple of mental patients when Corey Taylor (lead singer) and Joey Jordison (drummer) walked up and stood beside us and said, "cool masks man!". They weren't wearing their masks so we had no clue who they were. They asked our names and where we were from. We made small talk with them for maybe 15-20 minutes, Joey laughed at the "smoking eyeballs" trick and they had to go. We didn't realize until later when they got on stage who they were. Corey pointed at us from the stage and called us by name and told us to come down to the stage. I had an 8 ball of coke in my pocket and a head full of acid, so all kinds of shit was racing through my mind. I thought we were in trouble, but instead, he handed us a couple of signed jerseys and told us we were welcome to hang out and watch their show from inside the security barrier right in front of the stage.
This was the game-changer Slipknot song for me! I had the first 2 CDs and liked them somewhat, but must have pawned them. I've pawned so many over the years haha go broke from keeping up with all my favorite bands. Bit of a collector too. Anyways, heard this song and loved it, and went to check for the first 2. I was like, damn I sold them, so I had to rebuy them! Been a huge Slipknot fan ever since!
They showed their faces occasionally but if you know the members you also know the other acts they are a part of Corey and James Root are in Stone Sour, Mick(guitarist with the kind of hockey mask) is in Malevolent creation Siid is DJ Starscream, Shawn (clown) is in Dirty little Rabbits. Joey (the drummer wearing the kabuki mask) was in murderdolls , Chris (longnose mask) played bass for Will Haven. Some members have now left or passed away Paul the bassist passed away from a drug overdoses. Joey left the band in 2013, chris filed a lawsuit against the band then left in 2019.
One of their legendary songs because it was the first time without masks and all us maggots were scrambling to see their faces. Also, its an amazing song.
I always think of this as a twofer with Mudvayne - Not Falling. I don't know why, but highly recommended listen. I'd also love to see you react to Hurt - Rapture (album version).
Duality is also another truly amazing song!! If you want to know what Corey Taylor The lead singer looks like. He has a second band called Stone Sour Through Glass is one of their first hits and itâs a total different vibe.
Haha "who are these people?!". Man, love your reactions. I suggest checking out Corey Taylor and Jim Root's other band, Stone Sour. Might I suggest Made of Scars, Bother, and Imperfect.
good reaction dude! You should check out Vinnie Moore - In Control and Tony Macalpine-The Violin Song you gotta hear those beasts from the 80's ! also Tony is a Brotha lol
I mentioned a few other tracks from slipknot you could choose to react to for halloween. I forgot to add vermillin pt2, unsainted, three nil, psychosocial.
You've probably googled or youtubed what they look like by now but like previous comments have stated Corey Taylor, (lead singer) and Jim Root, (guitarist), are both or were in the band Stone Sour without masks and Joey Jordison, (the drummer), was/used to be in the Murderdolls without his mask
Since you mention kane and triple h, when I saw vocalist Corey Taylor wearing the mask he was wearing at the time, I always imagined Jeff Hardy, especially for his hair.
This is under the radar one of the best hard rock songs ever written. As far as the video, I equate it to if KISS had (before actually playing without make-up) made a similar video, just teasing their faces. Also, Corey Taylor and Jim Root are (were) both in Stone Sour, another fantastic band you should check out.
Also, you gotta check out Snuff by Slipknot. Very emotional tune. Either the studio track or possibly Corey's solo acoustic performance of the tune. There's also Corey's other band Stone Sour with a lot of great tunes as well. Say You'll Haunt Me, Absolute Zero, Red Rose Violent Blue (acoustic version hands down), Through Glass, Hesitate. Enjoy sir.
Corey Taylor is one of those great great great singers. His main band is Slipknot, but he has many other projects: Stone Sour (kinda new-age pop-rock/metal) he loves "old" hip-hop, he as several collaborations with other bands like, Apocalityca (one of my favorites), Antrhax, Soulfly, DreamTheater and some of my favorites: Sound City with Rick Nielsen and Dave Grohl, Travis Barker, Tech N9ne and Johnny Aloha XD. But "the best" are his acoustic solo, where he even plays SpongeBob SquarePants XD

I remember scouring the internet in the early 2000's trying to see what they really looked like....it was fun.
Haha same here I wasnt disappointed when I finally seen joey without the mask when he was in murderdolls đ
Lol I remember doing thatâs for hours đ
Haha memories!! Good memories đ„
@@nicolashernandez2736 dead memories ;)
@@Tom-fh4lf nice one
Unpopular opinion?
This is one of the best songs this band has recorded and definitely the best video they've done.
You are correct
Recently
Surfacing official live as well đđȘ
Video-wise, I gotta give it to Spit It Out! Such a fun video that really shows the band's personality and humour well
Is that really that unpopular of an opinion?
Early on they never showed their faces. They wanted people to focus on the music instead of who they were, and also wanted the little bit of anonymity that came with it.

The rest of the members have all done various interviews over the years with no masks on.
I think Mick Thompson is on the same page with Craig but less. You can see that he has only few photos online and gave 1 interview with sunglasses.
@@Koray.K True. That gear rundown interview in the sunglasses is the only one I can think of with Mick as well.
You actually see Craig unmasked during the press thing when Paul died. He had on shades
@@psychosis345 yeah with a crazy beard.. if he took off his shades and shaved you think you could pick him out of a lineup?? I vote Craig Jones for the most famous dude that no one knows. lol
Now we also have tortilla face hiding himself đ
My son would get so excited every time I put them on as a toddler. They are still one of his favorite bands and he is 15.
The reason why I love slipknot is they have the perfect balance in their music. Nothing truly takes over. Keeping it melodic and heavy at the same time. Even their heaviest songs are so catchy.
âAre they People?...â Haha!!
Pretty sure they came up from small puddles of mud. Creatures before they could stand.
I am pretty sure Corey is a living neck with arms and legs attached to it
@@NefariousKoel They could have been maggots first?
đ€
@@ARCAGNELL0 oh my god i instantly pictured that đ
I tried showing my aunt Slipknot and she said they look like zombies in their masks
I have to tell you my young friend you made a great choice! I am 63 and fell in love with this band a bunch of years ago. I also enjoy a lot of what you do on your channel. keep up the good work.
It's great to see all the black reactors that are being turned on to Slipknot. They have amazing talent. ...and luv your channel.
watching him enjoy all the shit thatâs going on literally gives me goosebumps dude
I love the progression of your slipknot reactions, early on you seemed a little shocked and almost uncomfortable but now you look like you're genuinely digging their music.

A top 3 slipknot song for me. What I really like about them now, is how they've transformed from a nu-metal band, to a more arty and experimental one. It happened very gradually too.
Listen to Duality. And Corey Taylor perform "Snuff" live.
They're pretty hit and miss but they really kill it when they hit.
@@Jordan-Ramses lol
Seconded on Duality
Second Snuff
I love how readily he finds something to enjoy in literally every reaction he does
They won a Grammy bc of this song. Left Behind is another great song by them....heavy btw.
It's great that you have such a wide taste in music! Just like me
I used to find Slipknot to be gimmicky and one dimensional, but the musicianship , vision, and energy of this band really can't be denied, Wow! I never would've thought they'd last 25 years.
This is probably my favorite Slipknot song. I like their music in general, but they're not really an everyday band for me. It's good to see you branching out into metal lately. There's a lot of good music there. And yes. I also like Elvis.
Love your reactions to these. Really looking forward to you doing more Slipknot!
One of my favorite Slipknot songs! They were also the first metal band I ever got into đ€đŒ
I stumbled randomly onto your first reaction video, i love to see people first time experiencing music i already know, it gets me to the time i heard the same song/video, quite nostalgic times :) Keep on the good work, greetings.
youâre reactions here compelled me to hit the subscribe button. âare they peopleâ killed me đ€Ł
Corey Taylor is the singer. Has another band stone sour
He's also open to try out new stuff
Bother is a decent start to Stone Sour and showcasing Corey's cleaner vocals although he shows it plenty in Slipknot.đ€đ€
He did a song with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters called From Can To Can't for some soundtrack, really cool tune.
FatFredyFreak I liked his collab with techn9ne. The song is called Wither if you want to know
I never knew that after all these years of listening to them I never knew that. And I like Stone sour too
One of my fav Slipknot songs đ€đ»
Because of the meaning, probably my favorite and one their most "honest songs".

Cant believe you never heard slipknot before, great band, and show I always go when they come in.
Slipknot is from Iowa dude. We fully support Slipknot all over this state. Slipknot is badass.
Its great to see others who may have never even listened to music like this and have so much respect for the art and artists making great music
Love love Slipknot. Great to see you enjoying them
They are people and have shown their faces...its awesomeness...

My man was FEELING the riff at 5:31. Shit gives me goosebumps.
The whole Song is and will always be an massive Earthquake! I like it so much
That drummer is insane. The roll he did going into that riff is so good

My favorite slipknot song
1:29 How I imagine Jamel yelling at his teenage kids.
Lol
Ya made snort
yea...there musical timing is spot on!
Yeah, you are right. They are a great band
stone sour - through glass the same singer
Yeah the video is a great mind screw while pointing out a very real atmosphere.
Love the shirt!!
Jim root is a bad ass guitar player him and mick kill it everytime
I always think of this as a twofer with Mudvayne - Not Falling. I don't know why, but highly recommended listen.
I'd also love to see you react to Hurt - Rapture (album version).
Or hurt... Falls apart
I recommend the almighty Gojira. Songs like "Lowlands", "Born in winter", "Silvera", "Flying whales" and many more.
Cocorico !
Duality is also another truly amazing song!! If you want to know what Corey Taylor The lead singer looks like. He has a second band called Stone Sour Through Glass is one of their first hits and itâs a total different vibe.
Great band, Amazing live shows
Duality. Wait and Bleed.
^quality shit mang

Get it Jamalđ€
He said, "sssaa, are they peoples." Lmao!
Slipknot found a way to be mainstream and also hard as fuck!!!
good reaction dude! You should check out Vinnie Moore - In Control and Tony Macalpine-The Violin Song you gotta hear those beasts from the 80's ! also Tony is a Brotha lol
This is so fucking dope man
1:21 advanced head banging. Don't do it without schooling lol. My fave song by Slipknot. Great react. You shocked?!?
So smart and genius on the way they hid their face
Seeing Slipknot live will change your musical life! Now check out Duality.
I mentioned a few other tracks from slipknot you could choose to react to for halloween. I forgot to add vermillin pt2, unsainted, three nil, psychosocial.
You've probably googled or youtubed what they look like by now but like previous comments have stated Corey Taylor, (lead singer) and Jim Root, (guitarist), are both or were in the band Stone Sour without masks and Joey Jordison, (the drummer), was/used to be in the Murderdolls without his mask
Go!!
"Who are these people?!" Lmaooo you reminded me of my dad just then
Since you mention kane and triple h, when I saw vocalist Corey Taylor wearing the mask he was wearing at the time, I always imagined Jeff Hardy, especially for his hair.
Oh shit, forgot about this song! Badass;]
This is under the radar one of the best hard rock songs ever written. As far as the video, I equate it to if KISS had (before actually playing without make-up) made a similar video, just teasing their faces. Also, Corey Taylor and Jim Root are (were) both in Stone Sour, another fantastic band you should check out.
I am brasilian state of Bahia, and i'm your fanđȘđœđ€đœđ€đœđ€đœđ€đœđ€đœ
And you should do a reaction to Pantera "Domination" live in Moscow
Also, you gotta check out Snuff by Slipknot. Very emotional tune. Either the studio track or possibly Corey's solo acoustic performance of the tune.
There's also Corey's other band Stone Sour with a lot of great tunes as well. Say You'll Haunt Me, Absolute Zero, Red Rose Violent Blue (acoustic version hands down), Through Glass, Hesitate. Enjoy sir.
