[@chrisfrench9257]

You know guys, I really appreciate these reaction channels. I've been getting mindfkd by major depression for the last decade and a half. I've been heavily isolating myself for the last decade, which makes it worse. But... just having cool peeps to chill with on youtube over some of my favorite musical groups has helped me keep my sanity and to some extent feel as if I'm not nearly as isolated as I've been. I enjoy sharing your first experience listening to some of my favorite music and I just wanted y'all to know that I appreciate you. In my own little world, y'all and quite a few other channels are my "circle". I just wanted to shed some perspective on a side of your audience you might not have thought about and to let you know that while you may just be reacting, you're making a bigger impact on others than you might have expected. Thanks for sharing your time with us. Peace and love, my brother and sister! :)

[@barsandbarbells2022]

We are grateful to be in your circle & glad you are in ours, Chris! Being able to create some positive energy in someone's day while enjoying these experiences together is why we love doing what we're doing! Peace & love to you too!

[@jjr9881]

Please...go thru their whole music history...then you understand Taylor and their exceptionalism with lyrics and music...

[@nancymjohnson]

For me, the more I listen to Slipknot, the better it gets. This song is about when you allow others to let you lose your soul, your identity. “The limits of the dead” you can’t live when you let yourself get in that mode. Duality is one to hear when starting out with Slipknot.

[@user-lb2oi5qw3h]

Don’t tell them nothing they are not worthy to know they are the what the song is about . They think everyone should e like them

[@nancymjohnson]

@@user-lb2oi5qw3h why do you watch then?

[@roleks560]

they are more over talking about the bad society "go dig your desserts go dig your graves then fill your mouth with all the money you will save" probably reflecting on propaganda behind USA v IRAQ war. The name Psychosocial basically telling us about the social psychopaths we have more and more every day

[@rickymoranjr9609]

@nancymjohnson wow, that's real deep. I never knew that about this song, I have to listen to it a hundred times to understand what the message is of the song I'm listening to

[@FFNOJG]

This song is about him trying to talk out against the iraq war, and how the "orthodoxy" of the time was YOU CANNOT SAY ANYTHING BAD ABOUT THIS!!! just like the ukraine, and isreal now. How the wars are so sacrosanct(ABOVE REPROACH), psuedo (SU-DOH. AKA FAKE, he is saying all of the BS, AND THE FAKE NARRATIVE IE: LIES ABOUT IT, ALONG WITH WITH IT is driving him nuts. How people were destroyed talking about the truth of it. that is why he is calling himself a martyr. he was speaking out about it. How we have all these politicians claiming to be fighting fascism. while they are the actual fascists.

[@toniobolonio]

Duality is pretty entry level for slipknot

[@Boarder4892]

I understand the thought, but in that idea form, I would say more or less Duality. Duality has a more minor level of heaviness that overall for its song and its video, is less hectic in general overall than this one.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

I love the acoustic version of the song “Snuff” It’s a completely different side of Corey 😊

[@ElkSlayer8172]

Live in London Corey is a Bad ASS

[@lawrencefine5020]

Entry level Slipknot. This is exactly where you start. "It's got a good beatdown and you can dance to it" Welcome to the Slipknot rabbit hole. Fun reaction.

[@toniobolonio]

Dead Memories might also be pretty entry level for slipknot 🔥

[@Stuart_Cox1969]

In case nobody else suggests it, Slipknot "Spit it out" live at Download 2009, "Snuff" official video followed by Corey Taylor playing "Snuff" live, you will be surprised.

[@dakotaman408]

Welcome to Slipknot, this is a perfect song to start. Duality, The Devil and I, Dead Memories, Snuff (official video first, the acustic with just Corey), Spit it Out (live Download version) Solaway Firth.... and many, many more

[@soulcontrol6691]

"Before I forget" & "Duality" are 2 must listens...you'll love it

[@Johnnypalma]

Honest reviews is what we come for. Was perfect. You may be ready for "Duality". Another excellent entry Slipknot song.

[@myklegue3968]

Corey Taylor...lead singer of Slipknot and also of Stone Sour who sings Bother...an all time favorite of mine!! such a vocal range!!

[@BeOtterMyFriend]

Some would say he must be stopped, though.

[@chrisfrench9257]

Y'all should check out Stone Sour if you haven't. Corey's voice is badass. Through The Glass and Bother are the two that really stand out in my head atm, but they have some good music as a whole.

[@claudballs5679]

Slipknot is basically a supergroup everybody in this band has another band and that is why they wear masks so people concentrate on the music not who the musicians are. The next Slipknot you should react to is Custer, live performance

[@sebastiangomez4496]

Please react to “Before I forget” or “Duality” Nice reaction guys, just give them a chance !

[@chrisfrench9257]

Hell yeah! I'm glad to see you hitting this group. The 90's and 00's have some great music.

[@troymodin1682]

Read and understand the lyrics. You will get it. They're actually deep.

[@a7xdunc72]

Would be keen to see you react to ‘Through the glass’ by Stone Sour which is the other band of Slipknot lead singer, Corey Taylor. Think your minds will be blown by the contrast in vocals.

[@scotthatcher5043]

Yes the singer COREY TAYLOR has a second band and yes has very beautiful singing voice..he's a few things wrapped in one..very talented

[@bretttodd6470]

Slipknot takes a couple times before you can enjoy it. Before totally giving up on them, at least check out Spit it Out live at download festival 2009. The crowd control from that man is epic and the drum kit is cool too. Slipknot isn't my favorite but they're cool. They jam.

[@bradleycoopman7318]

Idk man. I was introduced to Slipknot at a listening kiosk at our mall record store in '99. (sic) melted my face off and I'm still loving it 25 years later. Love Slipknot. Always.

[@chrisfrench9257]

Check out Vermillion. It's a more chill sound from them.

[@Zoinks_Da-OG]

We NEED more SLIPKNOT

[@EarthlyEden1]

Those voices you hear will be Shawn Crahan and Chris Fehn, the two percussionist who do the backing vocals.

[@synystera]

yeah, they are not gonna remember any of those names...

[@troymodin1682]

Now your banging. These guys are actually very good. Keep up the great work buddy 👍

[@dvaderwasframed]

Duality would be a good one to check out next. After that my favorite from them Nero Forte, Devil In I, Before I forget, Wait n Bleed and Unsainted and more and more and more...lol

[@johncox4949]

Check out Corey Taylor snuff acoustic

[@vladmoriendi]

You gotta check out Corey Taylor (Slipknot's singer) doing "Snuff" solo live.

[@user-qq1uy8qj6l]

Slipknot, before i forget. Love that song. This song is good as well.

[@raypias8767]

Slipknot is that band that their music lights a fire in you. It makes you want to stand up.

[@rickjames420]

Every reactor likes Slipknot more and more as they listen to more songs. Can't wait to until you get into the more songs. Their lead singer Cory is known for having one of the widest range of voices in music. I'm positive you will like alot of their songs.

[@brandonsimmons1695]

More Slipknot. Try some newer bangers. Nero Forte, Orphan, Solway Firth and Hive Mind

[@chrisfrench9257]

Subliminal Verses Volume 3 is the album that got me hooked on these guys. When I was younger the louder, heavier music gave me a headache, unfortunately. As I've aged I can appreciate it more as my hearing isn't as sensitive as it once was. From my understanding, the OG Slipknot listeners hated the album because it was too commercial compared to their original sound. I'm not a music snob and love experiencing new music without too much judgement. It either sounds great or it doesn't. In my experience, some music just takes quite a few listens to really hit you the right way, so I try not to write songs off as crap until I've given them a legit chance. Mood and life experience can change one's perspective about a song too, so again... I try not to be too snobby/judgmental when it comes to music.

[@otispresseau9246]

Go back and listen to “Snuff” you will enjoy that!

[@donaldmacias4634]

You should watch a lyric video instead. Sometimes the video will distract you from the message especially with Tool and Slipknot.

[@spencerific93]

Corey Taylor has the ability to go from gritty scream type vocals to clean pop vocals like it's nothing. Dude's got incredible range.

[@ThankYouStayedHere]

it's worth looking for the lyrics version of the songs, people coming from rap usually enjoy the lyricism from Slipknot

[@simonrobinson10]

This is one of their more commercial tracks.... Try People = Shit (live London 2002) or Spit It Out (live Download 2009) They mix nu metal, thrash metal, groove metal, death metal, heavy metal, rock, hip hop, rap and more If you want some crossover rap/metal try their song No Life!

[@timothybush9633]

Also RIP Bassist Paul Gray and Drummer Joey Jordison

[@sammylane21]

Please do KILLPOP by Slipknot.

[@jon21770]

You need to give them another listen. This time try Duality. They are an acquired taste for sure.

[@TrenTgm]

Slipknot goes much deeper than this and does many different sounds. If you guys continue to react to them you’ll find a song you really like

[@davehorn6001]

Slipknot is a very dynamic range of metal you should try before I forget from them , they won a Grammy for it!!

[@ericseitz4819]

“Before I forget” might be a little more up your guy’s alley, its not as heavy of a song and personally I think it’s a catchier song.

[@MrOfficialGamez]

Slipknot songs normally take a listen or two before you can get past the shock value and pick up on the melody and song meaning fully. The lead singer, Corey Taylor, is extremely talented and an amazing songwriter.

[@stevenseul361]

I saw them twice because of my son (not my type of music) but their shows are adrenaline rushes. Great reaction

[@barsandbarbells2022]

The coolest dad ever?!

[@jamesschmidt7759]

Dead on this is what got me hooked on Slipknot...there live show is awesome.

[@narjiicday-burns6944]

You're in for a ride Im ready are y'all 💯🤘🏽🔥

[@tgoodall6817]

So, I had to laugh, when I saw the title. Even though it's been a year, I wasn't sure you guys were ready for Slipknot. But, you're also fair and Slipknot is not for everyone. They have a huge catalog, all very different, and the more you listen, the better it gets. Sam would like Corey's other band, Stone Sour. A little less aggressive, but still packs a punch. His solo work is also great, and he's a fantastic songwriter. Thanks, guys. Can't wait for more of anything with Corey Taylor!

[@adumsmiff1239]

Slipknot is one of my favorites of all time. I highly highly recommend listening to snuff, dead memories, before I forget, yen, and vermillion. Please check out one of those next!!!

[@canonthomasen3219]

Legends! Masterpiece! 💯

[@davidkelly2355]

Corey Taylor the singer in Slipknot also has a band called Stone Sour where he sings like when is singing in the “hook” , we used to call it the chorus, so the man can actually sing

[@loudthings]

You actually can try Slipknot - Dead Memories

[@Itswikked]

before i forget slipknot is my fav should def check it out

[@ECDabbeljuh]

I'm sure you will like 'Vermillion' from them.

[@Johnnypalma]

Music catalog spanning 25 years. It's alot.

[@bruno3778]

You guys should definitely listen to the live version of their song Snuff. It’s just Corey Taylor (lead singer) in his rawest, most emotional form. He has an amazing voice and his range is insane. Snuff is just him, his acoustic guitar and his heart in his sleeve with no mask. I think you guys will love it!

[@ACME619]

Your workout soundtrack is about to grow so much.

[@poesenpai6475]

Check out Duality it's, IMO, the best introduction to Slipknot and the lyrics are way easier to understand.

[@SakeinsGaming]

Just a heads up, it's not "the preservation of the modern me", its "the preservation of the Martyr in me". I love watching slipknot reaction, especially from people who haven't heard them before. I really enjoyed your reaction and will be back to see more reactions!

[@timothybush9633]

Hi Phil & Sam, I'm 65 and I was introduced to them from my son with this song🤟🤟🤟

[@scottmyers10]

Nice, you're the first reactor I've seen that picked up Paul Grey's vocals behind Cory Taylors. Here are the lyrics for you: Ooh, yeah! I did my time, and I want out So effusive fade, it doesn't cut The soul is not so vibrant The reckoning, the sickening Packaging subversion Pseudo-sacrosanct perversion Go drill your deserts Go dig your graves Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save Sinking in, getting smaller again I'm done, it has begun I'm not the only one And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Oh, there are cracks in the road we laid But where the temple fell The secrets have gone mad This is nothing new But when we killed it all The hate was all we had Who needs another mess? We could start over Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong Now there's only emptiness Venomous, insipid I think we're done I'm not the only one And the rain will kill us all Throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! Psychosocial! The limits of the dead! The limits of the dead! The limits of the dead! The limits of the dead! Fake anti-fascist lie (psychosocial!) I tried to tell you, but (psychosocial!) Your purple hearts are giving out (psychosocial!) Can't stop a killing idea (psychosocial!) If it's hunting season (psychosocial!) Is this what you want? (Psychosocial!) I'm not the only one! And the rain will kill us all We throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me And the rain will kill us all We throw ourselves against the wall But no one else can see The preservation of the martyr in me The limits of the dead! The limits of the dead!

[@Traci2000]

I actually love this one from them, but if you want a different vibe, with a less harsh/aggressive vocal, go for "Snuff." It's a heart breakingly beautiful song. I think it might be something you guys could really enjoy from them. ❤

[@karlbecker8775]

More Slipknot suggestions.....The Devil In I (great song, disturbing video), Duality, and the acoustic live version of Snuff.

[@Mar-yk6jp]

This is a great example of reacting more to the video than the song. I think a straight audio version with lyrics if they want to follow along that way.

[@redrum567]

Ya like what ya like, ya don't what ya don't. Simple. The appreciation of every artist is obvious. No harm no foul. Keep going, keep rocking \m/ Personally, I enjoy Slipknot's first album more than their catalogue of music. However, anything Joey Jordison (drums) is an absolute banger. R.I.P. Great reaction y'all 🖒🖒

[@legionofthedamned9430]

I love seeing non metalheads react to metal it's so funny I'm a metalhead and I love slipknot so much

[@mpolster24]

Spit it out - live at download. Great live performance

[@picoroDaimaku]

There are songs that you have to listen multiple times to get an accurate opinion. I think you should know that. I am not fan of Slipknot, but this song is a masterpiece

[@kevinglasgo5250]

Now you need to listen to stone sour and keep in mind it's the same lead singer

[@paulgourdie]

One of my favourite slipknot songs im slipknot fan to I have seen I'm live twice now awesome band live

[@cjjoe2385]

Check out the following Slipknot The Devil In I Kill Pop Solway Firth Wait and Bleed Before I forget

[@wolfpackhustler]

RIP Joey and Paul. Forever #1 and #2

[@mattroden4544]

i would watch a live version of one of their songs so you can see the energy of the band live

[@w1reless453]

I think those "added vocals" are former member Chris Fehn. He had sick backing vocals! 🤘

[@timothymcnerney3352]

Duality, vermillion pt2, snuff, and before I forget…these are the ones you should actually check out, this one is a brutal introduction lol

[@williammoye6997]

That line you mentioned is "the preservation of the martyr in me"

[@dtny2la]

I believe that at 13:00 when you thought there was a weird effect added to the singers vocals, that was back up singers chanting "Psychosocial" over and over. And if you want to see another band that did the mask and costume thing first, and took it a step further, check out GWAR.

[@mattroden4544]

I would say Gwar "the road behind " is a good start with Gwar

[@WhoopsKeith]

Gotta take a look at: The Devil in I; Wait and Bleed; Spit it Out. You'll be surprised how they show how diversive they are.

[@zackkullis5555]

Ah, sweet Slipknot. Spend some time on the lyrics, you will get a better understanding of how they mix the emotional response to the imagery and their meaningful lyrics. Some of us are a little scary or unapproachable on the outside, but are great people once you allow yourself to look beyond the exterior. Slipknot and it its kindred bands are the same.

[@LimbicGrave]

you guys really should react to more slipknot! one of my favorite (and underrated ) song is solway firth, it has a great videoclip too🔥

[@jessicahouser4823]

Most people hear the heavy beginning and think thats all they are. Definitely not. Corey Taylor is AMAZING! (The whole band is really...RIP Joey Jordison) Corey has a beautiful voice anyway he does it.

[@brandonsimmons1695]

Bro, you guys will be throwing up some PRs listening to Slipknot

[@Isaiah.Hunter017]

Slipknot- duality

[@airbrushaaron666]

Love the honesty Here's a few more songs to check out Wait and Bleed All Out Life Nero Forte Duality Unsainted

[@INSTRUMENTALILLNESS]

Slipknot is a heavy, speed metal band. I only know about 3 songs and I like what I heard. I am not a dedicated fan, but I really do enjoy their riffs, heavy stuff and i do like the vocals too. Good band for sure. Their song DUALITY is a masterpiece imo.

[@sinisterkate5308]

Iowa farm boys, corn-silage-swine. Des Moines in the middle which is a college town and state capitol. the percussionist sings backing vocals through their mask. i agree Phil you touched on the point of commercialism of metal music. in the beginning jeans, t-shirt, and long hair, very few tattoos. now look at it as Phil has stated.

[@johnwoodworth9127]

Before I Forget and Duality are great songs more intro songs, Before I Forget is maybe the best one.

[@carlearrye8473]

Sometimes you need a heavy metal song in your life xx uk 🇬🇧

[@bradpriebe9218]

The thing I find is that when people first listen to Slipknot, the videos can be distracting because there's so much going on like you said. You might almost be better to just listen or do a lyrics video the first time and then once you have a feel for it, watch the music video. The lead singer (Corey Taylor) actually has a really good voice. And there are several songs that showcase that better, but this was a good place to start the trip

[@langers2235]

Growing up i listened to all sorts , dance , pop rock and metal , and then just stayed with metal as got older, listen to most sub categories of metal so not stuck in one

[@magicpumpkin3]

Great reaction. Also try Killpop by Slipknot it is much different

[@dieselhiboy72]

If you want to have a huge contrast from psychosocial then listen to snuff . To totally different sides of the same coin. The band has many amazing songs in different ways. Lots to explore.

[@user-yr3hu1ug7r]

I was like you guys...growing up Slipknot seemed scary with the mask and i never heard their music so I assumed they just screamed satanic stuff lol. But then I heard one of their songs on MTV (I think) and I was like, "oh...these dudes are not like that at all." and enjoyed the music video I saw that day. Then as an adult I ventured into more of their music and found they are very talented muscians and song writers. Would love to see you two react to Snuff by Slipknot. I think the lyrics to that song are just some of the best song writing ever.

[@danielstjean7730]

This reaction made me want to subscribe. Even though it was not your general style of music the fact that you guys at least are trying to get the music is great. They have more melodic songs. Snuff being 1 of them. Corey’s vocals have gotten clearer after his throat surgery. You guys should also check out Nero Forte. Think you guys would enjoy the different but similar sound by them

[@barsandbarbells2022]

Welcome!

[@ficroulaud]

Personally, I would recommend pulling up the lyrics for analysis during videos like this. When I listen to new music on KZbin or Pandora or whatever, I see if the lyrics are posted so I can make sure I understand the song and don't accidentally put words in it that aren't there. Even if I hate a song, I want to know what the lyrics/story/message was

[@slypsykoticgrin3058]

Everyone keeps telling you to do the acoustic version of Snuff. Please donate original music video before the acoustic version. Snuff is a great song with a video made by the drummer. It is absolutely fantastic. Please review Snuff by Slipknot. It is not indicative of all of their music but you will enjoy it.

[@thunderspike1892]

Stone Sour - Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero. Featuring Corey Taylor and Jim Root from Slipknot. Norwegian musician Leo Moracchioli did a great funny cover of Psychosocial. Banjos and a lot of throwing straw hats 🤣

[@rossdownes4240]

With groups like Slipknot its the sound that matter not the words.

[@sinisterkate5308]

second post. band called CRYPTA song "from the ashes" live at wachen festival.

[@ewrekzz7360]

Aw! Poor Sam. For most of the first half her facial expression looked like we were shoving slivers under her fingernails. Thanks for enduring for the songs we love.
