COREY TAYLOR - SNUFF ( ACOUSTIC ) | REACTION

[@mpfiveO]

Corey wrote Snuff along with a band mate named Paul Gray, who he credits with really pushing to record the song. Paul later passed away, so every time Corey plays the song, He feels the loss of his friend.

[@maximelesperance4132]

LEO Mike he is actually fighting back the tears on this one.

[@tes420]

LEO Mike - Im pretty sure this version was less than a year after Paul died... Hence the insane emotion

[@whatisahandleplz]

@@tes420 nah this was recorded in 2017 I think my dude🤘

[@tes420]

Welty - Ahhhh yes you are right, This one is from 2016 (Found in description) I had it confused another performance from back in 2011 kzbin.info/www/bejne/qGe5l6eZpcqDhck

[@candymanhates]

Yep only a real maggot can truly know why it's harder to lose a close friend that not only understands you but expects you for not you for what you are and still is there but take the tine to get to know you and still wants to be friends.

[@jaymcgraw528]

Such a great vocalist. RIP Paul

[@therealnimrod5045]

Ngl I almost cry every time I watch this live rendition I've seen it like 400 times every time my throat goes hard and my eyes begin to water

[@ttvbrocklee56]

Rip in Paul Grey. It’s hard not to cry when hearing Corey pour his heart into this song

[@seoulscape1836]

It was Pauls favorite song.

"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. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory." - Corey Taylor

[@workshop9091]

[@blxbrg2169]

Being let down by your person is the worst feeling ever, I know. Like you it was the best thing to happen because I then realized I would be a happier and controlled person on the other side

[@keithschreffler8041]

This song ALWAYS make me cry... Went through a lot of tough shit during the time when this song came out.. The lyrics say it all....

[@gabeackerman4964]

Its already been said, but about a woman he loved who didn't love him. But shortly after this album's tour was over one of the founding members, bassist Paul Gray died. He overdosed, but he was a kind man. Had the pleasure of meeting him 2 times. A true fan himself. It tore Corey up. And I believe the band has dedicated this song to Paul after his passing. ....Edit....I highly recommend you listen to the original as well!

This song is about his ex wife, and letting her go which was a toxic relationship in a a way, he almost cries because this song reminds him of his now dead bass player of slipknot Paul Gray, if you like songs like these check out his other band Stone Sour

[@halimusmaximus8648]

She got him through alcoholism and I believe depression fighting all the way and as soon as she saw that he was gonna be alright she decided to leave

Bro this song honestly was a major piece of the reason why i'm still here. It helped me realize that i'm not the only one that has gone through an extremely toxic relationship and had to pick up myself and fight through the pain and to never give up.

[@russellbarlow1796]

From Des Moines Iowa graduated from the same high school as Corey. Personal mutual friends as well, lived up the street from Joey jordison. This song is amazing

[@CherryWhiteLies0712]

The best part of Corey Taylor is that he can perform his songs 1000 times and you can feel his pain. See it on his face. His music is authentic it hits so hard.

Stone Sour is one of my favorite bands - Taciturn, Hesitate, Made of Scars, Song #3... So much good music, just naming a few isn't nearly enough. You should check them out for sure.

[@kathys6402]

Another of Corey's great songs is Apocalyptica ft. Corey Taylor "I'm Not Jesus". I really hope you will take a few minutes & listen to it. "I'm Not Jesus" is about Corey being abused by someone in his childhood.

[@BexREB]

Also with another phenomenal band- Apocalyptica. There's just something about Corey's voice that has always hit me. I've been lucky to have listened to every project he's released since around 2002 when I was 9. Kerrang and ScuzzTV were on constantly and that's how I found out about them and in spite of all the other bands and singers his voice just always stuck with me. P.s. there's also some very random ones like f*ck Xmas ha

[@MsFunnyfeet]

The words are actually written by another man. It’s about the young boy being abused by a priest growing up. However, Corey himself was also abused. He just didn’t write the song. He was asked to sing it by Apolyptica. But, it’s a powerful song. When I’m sinking down the rabbit hole, so to speak, and feelings are almost too much to handle from the memories of the abuse I suffered, I listen to this song. It actually empowers me to climb back from the darkness.

[@rgac24]

This was played at one of his book signings. Book called You're Making Me Hate You. It's great book. Corey calls his rant book. But this song was special song that Corey and there Former Bass guitarist Paul Gray made. Who passed away from heart failure. Due to his past drug use. So in video he asking for moral support. Because it makes him miss Paul. You should check out Corey 2nd band called Stone Sour. Songs like Bother,through the glass,Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero,Tired, Song #3, Fabuless and Rose Red Violent blue.

[@sallyshipwreck4315]

Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again... So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know. My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there. Deliver me into my fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you... My smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your lights But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear. You couldn't hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end. I never claimed to be a saint... Ooh, my own was banished long ago It took the death of hope to let you go So break yourself against my stones And spit your pity in my soul You never needed any help You sold me out to save yourself And I won't listen to your shame You ran away - you're all the same Angels lie to keep control... Ooh, my love was punished long ago If you still care, don't ever let me know If you still care, don't ever let me know...

At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself. The lyrics are pretty self-explanatory." Also: "It is the final single released from the band with their full original lineup before the death of bassist Paul Gray who died eight months later after its release, and also the final single released before drummer Joey Jordison who was fired from the band four years later.

Corey had a good friend that helped him threw Alcohol issues and she was a good friend. After he cleaned up, his friend started going down that dark path and when it was his time to help. She refused to get help in any way and blew him and family off. She died of Alcohol poison months prior to Slipknots bass player Paul Gray that passed away as well that helped write this song with Corey. Definitely check out his Band Stone Sour for sure other band mates of Slipknot are in that band too.

[@metalheadwithjokes]

When this song was first made it was about his 1st ex-wife Scarlet. They had a very dark relationship from my understanding. Now after their original bassist (Paul Gray may he rest in pest.) and his passing they now dedicate this song to paul since it was one of his favorites. Although this isn't the only song that was made about Scarlet. Other songs talking about what was going on between them were the songs Vermillion part 1 and Vermillion part 2. I would highly recommend both parts if you want to know a bit more about those two.
