[@billythedreamer]

Slipknot is an absolute anomaly. Absolutely crazy but extremely talented musicians. They captured lightning in a bottle; their music is a literal representation of an emotion called rage. Hate them or love them, they truly are once in a lifetime.

[@Kolossus_]

This band is basically "no one cared till we put on the masked" in physical form.

I’m not a Slipknot fan and have never even listened to one single song of theirs, but they are just so weird and interesting and just… different and I need like an explanation video lmao so that’s why I’m watching this. As an outsider, idek how to explain them. They’re just so mysterious and very intriguing so I need the rundown of their history so far.

[@Anonymous_Identity246]

Well two months later, have you gone down the amazing rabbit hole?

[@mylestroian9563]

So my dad is a Metallica/ hard rock fan, should I take him to a slipknot concert even if he says it’s okay?

[@905Review]

I guess it depends how open-minded he is, Slipknot is quite different but I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for him to get behind their singles/more popular songs. Never seen them myself but I'd think their performance on-stage alone would make it worthwhile!

[@Kronical69420]

I took my cousin because the tickets were super cheap. Shes more into drum and bass, Industrial and New Wave. It blew her away. She fell in love with the percussion. Shes not a hardcore fan, but she will never say no if I have a ticket for her. One of the other reasons she enjoyed it was because everyone was so nice. Slipknot promotes treating everyone like family if they love metal. So going to a concert means hanging with several thousand happy people. My cousin actually disappeared for about an hour during the concert because she ended up hanging with a bunch of randos on the way to the beertent. It happens. lol

[@X2MLion]

Im going to the Iowa Knotfest this year first time seeing them after wanting to for like 6 years😎

[@GOAT_GOATERSON]

*YES*

[@malakisands4669]

Yes he should appreciate Slipknot. My wife grew up with Metallica, Maiden, Korn, Deftones, Slayer. For Valentine’s Day on the Iowa Tour I took her to the Show. We got to meet the entire band after the show. Joey was so cool. He brought us over to meet everyone. Paul was in his own world. Mick and Jim were joking back and forth. Joey went into the bus jumping back out with a bag of all sorts of Slipknot stuff. A limited press of their first album, a unique shirt that was not sold anywhere, he threw in drumsticks and guitar picks used from the show. They did say thanks for being a fan.

[@jennifermorales2989]

i started listening to slipknot 7 months ago, they were the first band that i really liked. Sucks that i became a fan 20 years later, would’ve loved to see their improvements throughout the 20+ years they’ve been a band

[@Rspookster]

I’ve known about Slipknot since I was 6 and I know so much about the band. But it is fun just hearing the same stories again

[@larryshepherd5380]

Best band to come from the 90's. So glad i seen the rise.

[@darkangel424cod]

Awe it's sad that the bassist and drummer got to design the masks and the rest of the band was just like lol nah

[@ninin117]

their masks are incredibly similar too

[@southpoundham]

Ya I feel like mask creativity would be a huge part of being a part of Slipknot

[@ninin117]

​@@southpoundham after paul died their whole we're a family mentality just vanished. i love slipknot but compared to s/t they do somewhat feel like a brand now. the stories behind all the masks and the meanings and how they were all handmade with the few resources they had was a big part of the individuality and authenticity of slipknot in the beginning. now when we talk about the masks its more like haha corey taylor milk jug lololol

[@RW1A]

@@ninin117 i mean after losing someone so close it kills you inside, i mean Corey still deals with Paul's death today so it makes sense why he doesn't want to bring up the family mentality after losing someone he considered a brother. I mean the new members eventually will get their spotlight and will be accepted in once the next album comes in- I do understand the brand thing, but most bands are like that, it just happens when you want to capitalize on your work. I mean they have worked for around 20 years in slipknot so its reasonable.

I’ve been there since day 1. I was 11 years old when the debut hit. They’ve been my favorite band ever since. There’s nobody like them, and there never will be. I love how they describe the Iowa years as the worst in the band’s history. That made for the best years in the band’s history. The masks, the suits, etc. Nothing beats that era. Hands down my favorite metal album ever recorded.

[@2WheelsTrav]

Iowa is the hardest and best metal album ever released hands down!

[@iggykad]

i wouldn't say best of all time but it's definitely at least top 15 imo

[@steeleesque]

thank you for this! I started to listen to slipknot some time ago and i'm glad yo find out more about them

I got into these guys late via Stone Sour,and loving them ever since. It still feels new & exciting to me, but I'm saddened by the band member losses!

[@antonn5224]

when I first started listening to metal I said to myself that i'm probably just going to stick with metallica, iron maiden and such. Bands like Slipknot were to satanic and heavy. Now one year later I basically only listen to Slipknot.

[@Madchris8828]

They have satanic symbolism at points but the band themselves don't believe in that crap. It's more just to scare parents and to be edgy Corey more or less said so much about Iowa. Iowa was a crazy period for them and they have thankfully gotten out of that faze with reportedly the only member still doing harder drugs being the dj

12:14 They did not briefly "break up" following the album. They finished the .5 album cycle, and took a break before starting to record for WANYK. A break or hiatus following a cycle is not the same as "briefly breaking up".

[@devil666245]

I don't know where you're getting this but Slipknot didn't exactly ever split up. They just put it on pause and that was between vol 3 and AHIG. Not prior to that or after the fact.. A decent video for sure but your getting some slight details wrong. Going on a break or focusing on other band projects isn't exactly seen as "splitting up" or "breaking up" they're literally just pausing it as touring with Slipknot can be extremely exhausting

1. Almost all their lyrics were wrote from 1996-2001, taken from the Manson forums.

[@B_COOPER]

.5 is definitely NOT watered down anything. That album is such an under-appreciated album and that actually pisses me off that CT would say that about the album that is supposed to be dedicated to Paul. I’m super happy for Jay and Alessandro for the fact that the band (probably mostly CT) stopped being childish. Quite contrary to the whole “we’re slipknot we’re always going to be changing our sound” I still love this band no matter what. But fuck I can’t stand how Corey could be so unprofessional in those interviews.
