Corey Taylor - Snuff - Acoustic (Reaction/First Listen!)

[@krw73]

The song was originally for a girl that hurt him. His best friend helped him with the song but then passed away. So when he sings it, it’s especially emotional because it’s not only is about her, but it reminds him of the loss of his friend.

[@krw73]

I wrote this before you played his explanation. My bad. Lol

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

I like the SLIPKNOT studio version, and OFFICIAL VIDEO, but Corey is a great live performer and this is TOP NOTCH

[@nikkireviews]

I will have to check that one out too. 🎵

[@PaulSink]

"You couldn't hate enough to love.Is that suppose to be enough".That line always cut like a knife.Angels lie to keep control. Another deep line.

[@nikkireviews]

For sure. ❤️

[@thedrunkbard4772]

One of the best performances I've ever heard! Love Corey Taylor!

[@brianmccreedy9825]

"It took the death of hope to let you go" is a line you'll never truly understand until you lived it

[@jameso7826]

That's the exact line that hits me like a truck every single time I hear this song.

[@JMulvy]

One thing I love about Metal Music is that they typically deal with dark, depressing, sad, painful topics and non-metal fans see that as something deranged or twisted but what they don't realize is that it is therapeutic, it is cathartic and it is the reason why studies have shown that metal fans are more mentally and emotionally equipped to deal with the hardships of life than non-metal fans. We handle those dark and depressing moments better because our idea of fun is enjoying art that involves those dark and depressing moments. In spirituality, shadow work is the act of recognizing the lessons of your own dark side to become more self aware. People who live in constant light just don't get it.

[@ireallyreallyhategoogle]

Allowing yourself to feel those "dark" emotions is much more healthy than repressing them and/or denying they exist.

[@grantnoremac8442]

Dear pop music. This is how you right a break up song 😢

[@Captainperfection]

You can really hear the emotion in his voice. Beautiful performance

[@Daslink314]

Been awhile since ive listened to any reactors to snuff or any music really funny ive been able to hear this first note of the guitar since before the album hit of course it was my first tattoo right over my left chest done by a friend it can very much apply to

[@nikkireviews]

Oh wow, that's amazing.

[@DarrellW_UK]

Great performance from Corey, thing about just him and his guitar there’s nowhere to hide - it’s just him and his talent and charisma to get the crowd with him. To my mind THE best performance of this song ever!

[@nikkireviews]

It was really good 👏🏻👏🏻

[@KrisThroughGlass]

I love this performance. Much more emotional than the original. The whole London acoustic show is awesome.

[@roockerr89]

Thanks for the videos Nikkie, I'm learning a lot from you. I even understand basic English, and your videos are helping me a lot. ❤

[@nikkireviews]

That's great to hear! Thank you for being here! 😁

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

ORCHIDS and MONOLITH on the first STONE SOUR album are EXCELLENT, INHALE also

[@PaulSink]

This one still gives me goosebumps.Especially this show and the great energy from the crowd.This one kind of changed meanings as the years have gone by.

[@KMW68]

Corey is amazing and it's great to see you too!!

[@nikkireviews]

Thank you! And yeah, he's awesome. I definitely have to listen to more of just him..and Slipknot as well!

[@KMW68]

@@nikkireviews and Stone Sour...his other band. :)

[@jameso7826]

This entire show was absolutely amazing. Even if you don't react to it, you should watch the full live show. "Corey Taylor Live in London."

[@Grim_The_Reaper]

If you like Corey Taylor's voice, you should watch "Sound City- From Real to Reel" It's something he did with Dave Grohl from Foo Fighters / Nirvana. Watch the 20-minute version of it and you can see them in the studio making the song. A camera in the booth with Corey right in his face. You get to watch him up close and personal being an absolute powerhouse

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

IDLE HANDS is my favorite STONE SOUR song, first album

[@nikkireviews]

Thanks for all the suggestions, I'll be sure to check them out! 😁

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

@@nikkireviews you're welcome, I hope you do check them out

[@themostunknown2293]

Corey Taylor - Home / Zzyzx Rd. [LIVE AT THE FORUM] You should react to both them songs... Just him on a piano!!!!!!

[@D3aD0n3]

didnt watch the full Vid, yet, but since its the Acoustic Version of Snuff by Corey.. It cant be bad

[@OldSkoolDad23]

Love Corey Taylor/Slipknot/Stone Sour 🤘

[@nikkireviews]

I'll definitely have to check out more. ☺️

[@sebastienwaslet9440]

Corey is a God Nothing more to say

[@PaulSink]

CMFT !!LFG!! I really love his music from his Stone Sour tracks.A lot dont know this but Stone Sour was around before Slipknot!!

[@scottcourville7779]

This song was wrote for a woman he loved with everything in the world, but one of the members of the band died and that’s when he started singing it live and he sings it more for the death of Paul then that woman

[@NaX619]

well.. thats a hard one.. but i love it.

[@AnthonyBusted]

Vermillion Pt. 2 by Slipknot please react !

[@HowiSpangler]

🙌🙌🙌

[@PaulSink]

Maybe because SLIPKNOT type of music is so different than Stone Sour that was always harder to get that this was written for Slipknot.Stone Sour to many including me was always the band that seemed deeper and closer relationships,even the ones that didnt work,and looking back you may see wasn't meant to work .

[@jseedoubleu]

Corey wrote this song for an ex. However he didnt think ot was good enough to be on a Slipknot album. Bassist and best friend Paul Grey pushed him to add the song to the album last minute which ended up becoming a huge hit. Paul sadly passed a few months agter the album dropped.

[@jmarra07]

You're adorkable

[@TananJess]

Bother was also a stone sour song that was deep.

[@AndrewSmoot]

I find it so odd that fans argue with the man who wrote the song on whether or not he wrote it for Slipknot or Stone Sour; you would think Corey would know best which band he wrote a song for.

[@nikkireviews]

Right? 😂

[@AndrewSmoot]

@@nikkireviews Granted, with Snuff being less aggressive than the songs Slipknot is most known for, I can kind of see where the fans were coming from, but, all it should've taken is Corey explaining once that "Yeah, I wrote that for Slipknot, not Stone Sour."

[@Anonymousones1]

Nikki how come u don’t have 100k subs ❤like and share every one let’s get Nikki a 100k subs

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

GET INSIDEis really heavy but great STONE SOUR SONG

[@PaulSink]

Yes you MUST go through some Stone Sour.Through Glass is one of their best.Bother is another great Stone Sour song.Tired you also should add on the list.Through glass video was from 2006,so yes he looked a little different.HaHa!!

[@CoreyWickramasekera]

I think I heard it's about a female friend who he had feelings for, but she didn't feel the same, he misunderstood the relationship 🤔

[@nikkireviews]

That would make sense. 🤔

[@-scrim]

Originally, but the reason it's emotional is because of a death of a friend, not a girl.

[@joshmiller3313]

Vermillion pt 2 to me is always better
