The guys are all enacting their worst fears in this video which is a pretty rad concept, I think. Both Jim and Corey seem to be afraid of exploding.

[@LeglessWonder]

It’s not fun…………….

[@dasbroetchen3398]

​@@LeglessWonder As I know the original meaning is about getting rid of the old personalities for the new start. (As the new members are stabbed in their wheelchairs ;-)). As always the personal interpretation is very subjective. You can call it either disgusting ("not funny") or just artistic freedom and enjoy 🤘

[@LeglessWonder]

@@dasbroetchen3398 tis a joke about exploding lol (see username). But you’re basically right, yea. It’s about their fears. Sid doesn’t wanna lose his fingers, since they’re his life. Chris is afraid of birds. Corey has what Clown calls “LSD: Lead Singers Disease” his head gets so big, it explodes. Etc. Theyre killing their old selves, with their worst fears.

[@dasbroetchen3398]

​@@LeglessWonder😂 Didn't recognize. Should have known better......

[@crayzeewhorse]

@@LeglessWonder and also referred to Corey, the blank page, maybe writer Block

[@joshhefner8179]

The Concept is them killing their old selves and their new drummer and bass player and coming back with new masks and new members.

[@Rallarberg]

I imagine a creative meeting went something like this: Clown - "So, boys, what do you reckon is the worst way to die?" Sid - "Self cannibalism" Mick - "By peeling your own skin and flesh off." Jim and Corey in unison - "Being blown up." Chris - "Pecked to death by birds" Craig - "Your own dog attacking you." Someone - "Hanging.", "Set on fire." Clown - "Sounds good. That's what we'll do for the video. Oh, V-man and Jay, multiple stabbings for you guys. Welcome to the band." ** everyone sips coffee **

😂👍

[@captainmurica3]

Us Maggots can definitely sink our teeth into this, just like they did in the video! 😜

[@CharisSellick]

😫😫😫😫

[@SmelliottMcSuckin]

Agreed

[@simonrobinson10]

PS - its a transition from one version of Slipknot to another - this is post the death of Paul Gray, and the departure of Joey Jordison in about 2013/14, and the initiation of V man (bass) and Jay Weinberg on drums Old masks dead, new masks alive. Its a cool video 😁🤘🤘

[@rickbz8775]

I'm an old school Slipknot fan from the 90's.. Great reactions keep it up.. Maggots rise!!

[@TheOnlyPenguin]

"Devil in I" - 2014 "People = Shit" - 2001 "Psychosocial" - 2008 "Before I Forget" - 2004 "The Dying Song" - 2022 The facts check out, well done Charis

[@CharisSellick]

YAYYY

[@CloudWreker]

Shawn (clown) was the director, and he also has directed horror movies with Robert Englund

[@jamescoleman8954]

Your facial reactions are what is the best it’s just so freaking great and I mean that in the best way possible

[@vincentvillegas4592]

Clown aka Shaun is the director of most of the music videos for Slipknot

[@darrenatkinson8833]

Love your vids..keep em comin!! Sendin much love from Canada!

[@arktactical6112]

KZbin buried you from my feed and you been doing Slipknot.!.! Perfect B-day present lol

[@psychosocial1917]

Your faces in this were epic. Love your faces when Corey and Jim blew up, but then later broke it down and said it needed more moisture 😆 Then Shawn burning and hanging was just ok at the end 😆😆 Great video 🤘🤘

[@denyeverything981]

Great video Charis! For your next deep dive, I would recommend Sabaton. They are a Swedish power metal band that writes a lot of songs about historical wars/battles. For example, their last two albums have been about events in World War 1

[@Yamatsu7]

FYI in the music video the band members are being killed by their worst fears.

[@CharisSellick]

Ahhhhh

[@Yamatsu7]

@@CharisSellick For exemple, Chris Fehn (the one in the big nose mask) was almost shaking while shooting his scene because of his fear of crows.

[@joshgruenbaum9379]

As for other bands to deep dive... Ice Nine Kills, has great videos and is super theatrical. Motionless in White has a very eclectic catalog.

[@mattblatchley2061]

GREAT "Sound of Music" blast there at the outset!!!!!!!

[@JohnnyO84]

I believe I saw a comment saying that every member in the video died in a way that was acting out their worst fear/facet of themselves so here is what they were in case you’re curious, in order of appearance. (Note: All this info comes from the BTS video where they explain each death but they don’t go over every one of them so for those I’ll put “unconfirmed” and put my best assumption.) Sid: Afraid of losing his hands/fingers because that’s what he needs to be efficient at his job as a DJ. Mick: A reserved a man who often keeps away from others is scratching away at his “surface” to reveal another layer of himself. Jay/Alex: Two new members of Slipknot after the passing of Paul and departure of Joey are seen in wheel chairs and getting stabbed by all the other members as a sort of initiation into Slipknot. Corey: Most lead singers are seen as the most popular of the group and with that get a large ego or “blown up/big head” here we see Corey literally blowing up his head and along with that his big ego. Also we specifically see him blowing up his All Hope Is Gone mask, which is the mask from the previous album as to say he’s killing his old self and staring anew. Craig: Mauled by a dog because he Is afraid of them (unconfirmed) Chris: Pecked to death by crows because he is afraid of them. Fun fact that was actually Chris in there and he was very scared to do the shoot but had to stay still for it and managed to get it done. Jim: Also unconfirmed but I assume it’s similar to Corey since he is the lead guitarist and those are also seen as very popular in the group. Shawn: Goes out in the most insane way possible he could find fitting for “The Clown”, lighting yourself on fire and then hanging yourself.

[@ak147sniper3]

The idea of the video was, saying goodbye to your past self. The death scences were the memebers saying goodbye to their past-sleves and birthing a new version of themselves.

[@MrTech226]

Charis That drummer is Jay Weinberg. He replaced Slipknot's original drummer, Joey Jordison. Joey died back in 2021 from an illness. Jay's father, Max Weinberg is the drummer for Bruce Springsteen and E Street Band. Jay stepped in for father to play drums for Bruce back in 2009.

[@Logan-ed4pu]

Custer is a fan favorite. There is a good live version since it wasn't actually released as a single.

[@G59forlife.]

I thought it was actually a single just no music video Same with Sarcastrophe, Skeptic, and AOV

[@leoleo1392]

first time in your channel, i love your face expression so loved!🥰

[@MrAlienBeta]

I recommend You ,,Gently" live version from 2002 in London. Very underrated song :)

[@chemtrooper]

Here’s why I like this video, Everyone else: “It’s going to be gory! They’ll be blood, torn flesh, body parts everywhere, and explosions!” Craig: “Cool…….I’m going to play with this energetic doggie. Poochie poochie poochie!”

[@YourMatterHate]

craig had the exact opposite feeling of the dog lol

[@neillane1342]

I love your reactions in this! Arch Enemy or Iron Maiden next please!

[@katiemurray5862]

First time seeing your reaction to anything!! Love all the Slipknot you're reacting to. I'll keep on watching! Welcome to the world of Maggots 🖤 P.S. my 5 year old wants to be "Slipknot guy" for Halloween 😅

[@battery2720]

as a fellow theatre nerd, I think you'd like Ice Nine Kills. they're very theatrical especially in their three latest albums (Every trick in the Book, Silver Scream, Silver Scream 2; Welcome to Horrorwood). If you know any horror movies or dark stories, they probably did a song about them.

[@shikarifox4337]

Would recommend Enter Shikari, the pioneers of electronic metal but have since said that they don't want to classed as metal. They recently released a song called The Void Stares Back which features Wargasm and Rou is one of the most intelligent writers in music I can think of. Every song has a deep meaning to it.

[@herky71]

I'm sorry that I'm late to the party here. 5 months late. But, I absolutely love this! Your facial expressions are truly priceless throughout the video. You had me rolling! 😂

[@CharisSellick]

I was LOOSING IT in this video lol

[@herky71]

@@CharisSellick Oh yeah, you could definitely tell.. Lol. The music video is very intense to say the least. I think you reacted like a lot of people do to it. But, just in a much more entertaining way. Your reaction to the "fingers" was absolutely priceless. 😁

Haha your face when the gore came was priceless😂😂

I went to one of there conserts rock on 🤘🤘

[@xilianGB]

Great video as always! For the next deep dive I'd suggest you listen to Powerwolf to explore a different sub-type of the metal genre, since they are more heavy/power metal. And keep up the good work!

[@CharisSellick]

I like this idea!

[@Michael97Moore]

Sid being sid

[@sgh1990]

I don't think she will sleep today or when ever freaking day

[@20irishman]

Love your reactions. Loving the Slipknot month. I recommend checking out Frail Limb Nursery/Purity audio. My favorite song

[@mrgabreis]

In this music video the "old Slipknot" is dying and a "new Slipknot" is arriving. They are dying with their old masks and playing with their new ones.

[@kaceylinne344]

other sliipknot songs to checkout are sic, eyeless, disasterpiece, my plague, the heretic anthem, left behind, iowa, the blister exist, vermilion parts 1 and 2, the nameless, sulfur, dead memories, xix/sarcastrophe, aov, killpop, custer, the negative one, unsainted, nero forte, all out life. i think you might have to do multiple slipknot months do a papa roach, korn, three days grace, five finger death punch, hollywood undead, blink 182, skillet, falling in reverse, foo fighters, disturbed month

[@seanmilos166]

Lol I love your reactions. Came over cause I love Slipkot. Watched 2 videos and love reaction but thought you were a lil crazy. But in a good way. Funny as anything. Then I go smoke and think you are super hilarious. Its fun watching your videos. Not sure if you picked a band but if you wanted to stay on Corey Taylor do Stone Sour his second band. Or 5 Finger Death Punch, Papa Roach or Volbeat.

[@R3troZone]

If you follow the band you know that each album they all have new masks. In this video each band member is "killing off" the previous version of themselves while wearing their old mask from the previous album.

[@bobbydelamar606]

Check out Breaking Benjamin, Five Finger Death Punch, or Linkin Park.

[@jolazpulin5544]

Great video! I sugest for the next reaction disasterpiece live in london 2002 or wait and bleed. Those are my favorite from slipknot. Keep up the good reaction videos!

[@WWEKing330]

Sanest Sid moment 😛

[@davidwolfe6773]

You should react too his other band Stone Sour either the song Through Glass or Bother other good songs were he really sings are Tired , Miricals, Hesitate, Made Of Scars , just to name a few it's his side project band so he does Slipknot and Stone Sour but in Stone Sour he doesn't wear a mask nor does he scream Stone Sour is a lot deeper and more meaningful but I highly recommend you checking them out if your a fan of Slipknot.

[@simonrobinson10]

Its in the guitar key of Drop A I cant keep it tune long enough to play the whole song - must have bass strings on!

[@everyonelovesmajima]

I know Mick uses 68s for A which is pretty freaking close. I've tried them a couple times, my fingers aren't even strong enough.

[@cristofargone]

by far my favorite reaction to this song ever😂

[@davidwolfe6773]

Next band you need to do a deep dive into os Spiritbox.

[@mikemaxwell3005]

If you get a chance go see Slipknot live they are awesome.

[@willgilbert87]

Deep dive idea, Coheed and Cambria. As a theatre kid, you will definitely appreciate the showmanship and creativity of that band.

[@JeremeDavis]

Oh hell yeah, another heed fan. One Among The Fence. I totally agree though with the broader story the songs tell or even as the individual piece.

You said "more moisture" when you blow yourself up. Actually...the TNT would vaporize the majority of blood, being that close to the body. Thus most soldiers claiming little blood from a suicide bomber. Love the outtakes....

[@josephbishop3590]

Hey Hawk!... Completely off topic. Or is it? Is the Camaro yours or the (WET)Dream Car? Either way, f-ing OUTSTANDING! I've been an enthusiast from the same era and a mechanic that got the fever from the old man. He is an awesome mechanic that taught me a lot about cars and more importantly, about life, in general. My Dream Car is either of the 1st gen Camaros, 67 or 68. Any model, trim level, equipment package.... whatever. Dad's Dream Car was willed into existence about 15 years ago and he's won shows he didn't even enter. His chariot is an Inca Gold 57 T-Bird to die for. But he is in his 80s and the 'shine is off' the apple. It's becoming difficult and extremely expensive to keep it not only running, but getting in and out is tricky and challenging for a young, healthy gear head. And he is neither young nor healthy. But I ramble... nice car.👍🚗 It's not ON my Bucket List. It IS my bucket list. 'Cept I lust over the 7s and 8s.

[@richarddean5064]

Do falling in reverse there really good and there great video is

[@silv425]

Hi, Charis. If you're wanting to go deeper and heavier, then Lorna Shore is the way to go. Start with 'To the Hellfire', then 'Sun//Eater'. There aren't any 'Clean' vocals, but there is a really wide range to the vocals.

[@seanhendren5874]

Charis my suggestion is not Metal but a very old Classic Rock Band. Deep Purple is the band. I want you check out Ian Gillian Jesus Christ Superstar which is right up your alley being a Theatre Kid. He performed this amazing Musical before he became the lead singer for Deep Purple. So do a deep dive into Ian Gillan. Then check out Deep Purple Child in Time please!

[@seandobson6221]

In this video the band shows things that are their worst fears. Sid eating his hand signifies that if he lost his hands he could no longer DJ. Chris Fehn is absolutely petrified of birds. Corey is afraid of blending into the music industry. Jim is afraid of not mattering. Mick doesn’t want his identity to be revealed. ZMan and Jay Weinberg are earning their stripes by getting stabbed buy the rest of the band. Craig is deathly afraid of dog attacks. Clown just hangings himself at the end.

[@Sushi-uk7qk]

I think they mean that Shawn is afraid of indulging in depression and committing suicide.

[@crabuki1273]

"I just need people to not eat their hands....." - Hey, let's take this a step further, shall we? Let's request that people not eat OTHER people's hands as well. Honestly, can't we all just agree that cannibalism is bad? "If you're listening to Slipknot then you should know [that there might be self-harm triggers]" - Let's imagine, for a moment, that Charis Sellick is witty and charismatic (heh) and entertaining enough, regardless of how she looks or what she wears, to make people want to follow HER, in whatever endeavor she might attempt. They might even be female. It could happen. Work with me. Going forward I'd just suggest that if you at any point think, "Maybe there should be a trigger warning," just go ahead and put a trigger warning. Just so those Charis-first fans are covered. Because they *are* coming, because you *are* those things. And also a dork, but that's part of your charm.
