Anybody noticed Polo talks and stops the songs twice as much (or more) since he stopped smoking pot? 🤔

@@poloreacts27 Hey, it happens. Personally, I prefer to listen to music, especially if it's live, sober. Mostly because I want to remember exactly how the show was. Also because sometimes you end up arround people really high and out of it (especially at festivals). They always seem to find me... And want to hang out. (That's what happens when you're a metalhead who looks like a kindergarden teacher/mini van driving soccer mom. But I'm neither.)

He wrote this song going thru a bad brake up...Paul Grey, og bass player helped him with writing it. Paul died in 2010...so now he thinks of him instead of the horrible break up. This song helped millions of people...its beautiful ❤ R.i.p. Paul and Joey!

[@jaclynrodrigues7289]

R.I.P Paul Grey, Slipknot saved my life

[@adamwimberley6476]

Wow. Didn't realize it's been that long since we lost Paul

[@Sirealmusic]

This song hit me so hard during my divorce. It still brings tears to my eyes every time. I was suicidal and so hurt, I listened to this on repeat for months. I can't say it helped the depression but I can tell you it hit hard. "It took the death of hope to let you go."

[@paullynch1210]

I wished that my ex wife listened to this song when she left then she would have known what pain she put me through.

[@doomsday1980]

As a woman, who also listened to this on repeat after a very heavy breakup, and a fan of this song/band in general, it definitely hits different when you're in this type of pain. And every time I hear it I almost wanna turn it off. But it reminds me I'm alive and able to feel it and be OK ❤

[@chrisjay8718]

Stay Positive. What doesn't put us 6 feet under or Ashify us, makes us stronger.... DITTO

[@shawnstegall665]

It’s been over a year now since mine. She has found someone else and we have such a terrible relationship coparenting for our son. I was blessed enough to survive my attempt. This song is now a reminder that the pain I went through and my mental state was justified. Though it isn’t a death sentence. I will live with my mistakes and continue to fight for as perfect I life as I can for my son. “Angels lie to keep control” has just as much weight as “it took the death of hope to let you go” did 1.5 years ago.

[@luckyjinx9474]

"Angels lie to keep control" is my favorite line.

[@alanpaul9481]

All these lines are an extension of the same concept - there is no soft landing in letting go of someone. The pain someone feels only gets worse if the other person keeps reaching back, giving them hope, looking for contact...just keeping them hanging on longer. That's why the first one is "if you love me, let me go"

[@EV0ACE]

“It took the death of hope to let you go” …. Fuck man, I hate that line but love it.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Corey Taylor lead singer has a great live acoustic to this song.

'Vermillion' would be the perfect song to listen after this , considering your taste.

[@justinsturgess8967]

Or Circle

[@slap_A_flamingo]

This song is the perfect definition of depression. The way you try to mess everything up because you think you're going to destroy it in the end. Finding someone you love but constantly thinking that you don't deserve them. You try and and explain to them what's going on and they slowly try to distance themselves. You take everything the wrong way and tell them "I never claimed to be a saint". Songs heavy as hell. The brain is one of the most complex organs in the human body but the easiest to break. Always treat someone with respect and passion. You don't know what's going on inside them.

[@13cgunreviews]

"It took the death of hope to let you go." That line ties it all together and hits so hard. I'm not sure this song helps me, but it's something that moves me in so many ways... "I wish you weren't my friend..." Yeah. That.

' it took the death of hope to let you go' absolutely one of my favorite lines in music.

[@BryanBaranski]

Slipknot has something for everyone, tested through a 20+ year career and still running. I know as a youth, with little means and great instability in my family life, slipknot would fill me with a sense of worth and power that I lacked in my life. Not a destructive rage but a construction fire that helped me forge a good life against the odds. I am a Maggot to the core, and I love that you are becoming a Maggot as well. Welcome!!

Corey Taylor has a live version. It's a very personal song for him. It's beautiful and emotional. You can see it in his face, you have to listen to it

[@roberthaines1227]

Corey is an amazing vocalist when he’s singing clean. Songs like this are the exception for Slipknot. He has/had another band called Stone Sour and they are “lighter” than Slipknot. I believe he just came out with new material under his own name. A great track to check out would be the acoustic cover of Chris Issak’s Wicked Game. Absolutely beautiful version.

[@cliftonregister903]

i like the song Bother a lot from stone sour

[@billyoliver4000]

As good as the album version is, Corey's acoustic version has so much emotion that it becomes epic. Even if you don't do a reaction to it definitely check it out.

It was so amazing. Another song you may like of theirs is Vermillion and also Vermilion part 2.. thank you for the reaction.

This was my favorite Slipknot song for a long time. Then Yen came out.

[@HybridCult]

Wait and Bleed, Left Behind, My Plague, Before I Forget, Duality and Psychosocial are songs that blew up Slipknot (multiple times) over the years and cemented their career.

I stay cryin listening to slipknot Corey has some powerful lyrics ❤

[@TheRoostervisor]

Not gonna lie, makes ya cry, and this is why... Corey Taylor (from Kerrang! July 19, 2008): "This is the slow one. It's another personal one. Again, not naming names, 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."

[@ThomasTallant]

My understanding is that Corey now treats it as a double meaning... still disappointed with the woman in question but also makes him remember Paul.... in the live version he looks to "the Heavens" a lot

[@TheComicBookJoker]

@@ThomasTallant You’d be correct. Paul was the one who convinced Corey to put Snuff on All Hope Is Gone.

[@No-ik8kv]

For me, this song makes me think of my upbringing, but it’s still just as powerful. The line that plays on repeat in my head is “Love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage.” It’s so descriptive of what I feel.

Slipknot is primarily a juggernaut of extreme metal 🤘🤘 w/ shredding tracks like - 'Left behind'... 'Surfacing'... 'The blister exists'... 'Duality'... etc. But once in a while, Slipknot churns out these intense gems like 'Snuff' (this was all Corey Taylor's songwriting) and they have these rather haunting, heavy songs like - 'Vermillion'... 'Gently' ... 'Killpop'... 'Gehenna'... 🔥🔥 that give Slipknot a musical diversity that most current bands do not have.

Part of what makes slipknot so addicting is how much lore and attention to detail there is in their art. Understanding the journey of their lives while they released their music and the things that influenced them at the time is really what makes me put them on repeat. It all so real and felt. Some good songs are Surfacing, Devil in I, Unsainted, Chapeltown Rag, disasterpiece too though that one is pretty heavy.

Back in 2011-2012, I had a boyfriend I had to let go because he was struggling with addiction, and I couldn't help him. He sent me this song. A month later, he overdosed on methadone he'd gotten from a friend, trying to get clean so we could be together. This song will never not be a gut punch. Every once in a while, I listen to it to remember that someone was willing to risk dying to be with me, and I had an obligation to that sacrifice to never let a moment of life go to waste.

For me Slipknot became popular at the perfect time in my life where I was angry, I hated people, and just had a lot of misguided rage in me. So when I heard their Iowa album when it came out it just fit like a puzzle piece for me. It gave me an outlet where I could latch on to the music rather than my rage. Then Vol. 3 Subliminal Verses came out at the perfect time where I was over all that, and while it was still aggressive it wasn't anger/rage filled and was a perfect fit for me at that time. Crazy how you can latch on to music to get you through things...
