[@wv2100]

I really came close to crying. Obviously I didn't know Paul, I wasn't even a fan during his time. However, the emotion and power of this music makes it impossible not to feel what he was feeling at this moment. You can tell that he is channeling all of his sorrow and anger into his performance, and that makes it so much more real than any top 40s artist who just spews out meaningless lyrics written by a committee who designed them to be catchy and easy to sell to ignorant people. This is the spirit of a real musician.

Corey Taylor is my absolute favorite singer/songwriter. Everything he does, he does it with passion. You can feel his anguish during this performance.

Thank you Corey for being a rock for myself and I'm sure many others.

[@issacrector-bouchard2768]

I am a huge fan of Corey Taylor too

[@ballisticcoefficientdepend9811]

@Malix Corvin. I've dealt with depression since I was six years old. Before Slipknot and Stone Sour, I discovered Alice In Chains, and songs like Down in a hole, Brother, Rotten Apple, Would and Nutshell helped me get through. People always asked me why I listened to sad music if I was sad, and all I could say was "they understand what I'm going through, and they made it through to write about it". Depression is a constant fight, but if I can get through it, believe me so can you! Never stop fighting, and keep on rocking! Peace!!!

[@AKGuitarist]

People always peg Slipknot as this evil, twisted or satanic band, usually for no other reason than because of the way they dress and their horror movie type masks. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sure, some songs are dark, but a lot of their music is very emotional and this right here proves that they are human beings who love and care just like the rest of us. Very hard to watch a grown man cry like that. RIP Paul. Thank you for all the joy you brought to those around you and for all of the kickass tunes you gave us.

[@AKGuitarist]

AKGuitarist To expand on that thought: A lot of people are under the impression that if a song is heavy then it must be filled with hatred and aggression and only mellow songs can be emotional. Just because a song is heavy doesn't mean it isn't emotional in much the same way that just because a song is mellow makes any less evil.

I haven't really cried in about 2 years and this broke me. I don't know if it's just today or the fact that you really see the pain in Corey's face. It's something really emotional when someone who plays as a tough hardcore vocalist shows their truly human parts. The bond between Paul and Corey is very evident and you can really see how broken he had become. It's just so genuine and beautiful and I give props to Corey for their new album and thanks to Paul Gray for his ultimate skills.

[@AlphaXY13]

For those who don't know, this song is about Corey's first divorce, not about Paul. The reason Corey has such an emotional bond to this song is because this was the last song they recording for All Hope is Gone, and thus the last song Paul and Corey worked together on. And like Corey had said, "They were like brothers."

[@mikeyseney6570]

+AlphaLineGaming Also, it was Paul's favorite song when they were recording. Corey said Paul would sing it in between takes.

The only reason why they feel they need to do this, to name an album after Paul, to linger onto his death till the point where it becomes downright pathetic is because (according to Pauls wife) no one showed ANY interest to actually intervene while Paul was locked up in his room shooting up. And now they will regret that for the rest of their lives. I know how it feels.

I have nothing but respect for Corey Taylor crying like he did. A man like him, headstrong to the core and built to last, showing his soft side during a song for Paul Gray. Saying he is a pussy for crying on stage is like saying you wouldn't care if your loved ones passed. Everyone is human, and everyone cries, sometimes on the inside and outside. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth. R.I.P. Paul Gray, #2 all the way. And respect to Corey Taylor, for letting his emotions be seen.

Thinking about Corey and how this song relates to him I think of this song *hitting him like a 10 ton pallet of bricks emotionally.* I'm just listening to it and it hits me at an emotional core that I didn't think I had. It's astounding that he was able to articulate his emotions and even more incredible that he could preform something so personal in public for the world to see him. I'm a big fan of "made of scars" by stone sour (Also Corey Taylor) but snuff proves that scars run deeper than the skin and flesh especially in Corey.

[@sonowaze2504]

Every time I hear this song, I always cried because of the sad memories of my childhood. Seeing my parents fight when I was 3 years old at the time, thoughts of suicidal, and when my Dad lost her older sister from a kidney failure in May 2014, which me, my older sister, and the rest of the family. Losing a love one is like, a piece of love is burned into flames. I will never forget it when I die. Snuff is probably the saddest songs I’ve heard in my life. And I release every piece of anger, depression, despair into crying. I’ll never forget the sad moments in my life.😰😢
