The lyrics to Through Glass have a whole new meaning to me now...

[@TheDarkMessiah]

"I'm looking at you through the glass... Don't know how much time has passed Oh, god it feels like forever" ...well it makes sense, now...

[@animerandomness]

So, in that small way, he literally crapped out a better song than any band on European MTV. For some reason, that does not surprise me.

[@xvx_k1r1t0_xvx_killme5]

6 years and no recognition for this comment? that’s more disappointing than MTV Europe

"Please come take all of this poop away." - Corey Taylor, 2011

[@bradylavy9592]

He really pulled that one out his ass.

[@brandonshoemake2531]

"How do you feel? That is the question..." 😂😂😂😂

[@glimrandesir5759]

As a swede, im proud that our crap food ended in one off my favorite songs!

[@kittymama611]

i was here this night. Meet Corey this night! i meet the other guys another night years before. so long ago. love these people.

[@saberjpg-mo3hy]

I always pictured a person looking at his newborn baby through the glass window when I heard this song. Never thought about someone watching terrible shows through the television screen lol

[@befrnigel]

So you never watched the music video then i guess?

[@nose-bleed]

Omg, it was always bad tv influence to me

[@mitherapeuticmassage]

@@befrnigel I still haven't watched the video lol

[@ATotalDork]

I picked the wrong video to watch while eating...

[@nikifalcon]

Cerberus didn't stop me

[@sarahtsang]

"Cause I'm looking at you through the glass... Don't know how much time has passed All I know is that it feels like forever" ...after hearing this story, these lyrics are funny.

[@Touchmahtoaster]

i got time for two more was what corey said at the european mcdonalds

[@nikifalcon]

Camron Davis lol

[@kboanddbo]

Shitting fast food out my ass Don't know how much time has passed But oh my god it feels like forever

[@russfilet3807]

So, Through Glass was inspired when Corey was on tour in Europe (2004-2005?), shits everywhere, gets sick and can’t move to change the channel European MTV and gets pissed with the music so he starts writing... Yea I’ll take that

[@danielgibeault8060]

Coming back here after listening to the lyrics to "through glass" I'm laughing like a maniac right now 😂😂😂😂💀💀💀

[@artisbeauty0822]

General Comment I was looking up the meaning of this song and i found one site about the lead singer Corey Taylor explaining what the song Through Glass was really about. This is what he says during the interview.. ---> I remember exactly where I was. It was 2004 and I was on tour with Slipknot. I was sitting in a European hotel room watching a music video channel, seeing act after act after act of this insane, innocuous, plastic music. They were plastic, bubbly, gossamer-thin groups where it was really more about the clothes they wore and the length of their cheekbones than it was about the content of the song they were singing. It really made me mad. I was like, is this it? Have we just gone full circle? Did the singer/songwriter revolution never happen? Is it just the same drivel from the same replicate over and over again? 'Through Glass' is really a very angry song. It's me basically calling 'bulls--t' on pretty much everyone involved with the 'American Idol'-type shows. It has its place, but when you're basically cornering the market and making it very hard for anyone who actually writes their own music to get ahead, then it's wrong and that's really why I wrote this song

"He took the time to press the shift key, [Deadlezz], I think he knows what he's talking about" -Homer J. Simpson

[@henrywilson9473]

i like dat sweater

[@Thecjmaster]

I will NEVER listen to 'Through Glass' the same again!

[@bw6138]

I wish Corey would write a book with all of these stories. Truck stop story time.

[@satinsguard]

1:01 "What are the other two?"

[@baksidesteez]

+satinsguard One has to be when Paul died.

[@Scarz1991]

Still funny as shit, no pun intended lol

[@nikifalcon]

SCARZgaming lol

[@nikifalcon]

SCARZgaming I guess you could say what happened to Corey in Sweden was kinda uh... shitty

[@Christopher_Samaan]

this guy is pure hero, he turned tragedy of watching MTV guro into music platinum triumph

[@sewerslidemg]

I thought the song was a jail glass for visits, but I was locked up when I heard it so..., Song makes more sense now

[@jailbreak434]

That's one song background I could've gone without knowing.

[@MrDbzguy]

I really wish people would put closed captioning on these.

[@kayleestone859]

Ah it all makes sense now.

[@kittymama611]

I'm sorry It became 3?..

[@Takaichi666-]

Through glass has a whole New meaning now

[@xvx_k1r1t0_xvx_killme5]

more like a hole new meaning 😎

[@xvx_k1r1t0_xvx_killme5]

[@bladepuppetmaster1]

[@joshgell]

[@Yoshilover46]

[@Relentless_lel]

[@vroniefan2000]

[@nikifalcon]

Mutated Nut what I said

[@reevy6]

The MTV is true we have two Rock channels and they are very hit and miss! One day would be amazing but the next 3 weeks is rubbish!

[@ServeTheBeaver]

Someone shut the crowd up

[@cody181818]

[@lllllllllllllllllllllIII]

Oh the glass at a drive through window and waiting forever for a cheeseburger

[@evgeniychjen9258]

Didn't know Corey does stand up

[@loganjerde56]

"im talking worse then bieber its that fucking bad"

[@mushypeasontoast8847]

So the songs actually about a guy who shit himself and got stuck watching MTV Europe. Life has a whole new meaning to me now.

[@Nightpacer]

What are the models of guitar in the back?

[@johnpatchymillar8367]

The bunch of 'em are Gibson, and they ain't cheap man. The two on the right are a J45 and J50 respectively and the one on the left looks like some kind of a EJ-185EC. :)

[@Nightpacer]

Dang man lol Thanks! I'll check 'em out though

[@nikifalcon]

John Patchy Millar because there is such thing as a cheap Gibson lol

[@smars1161]

01:10 He Kinda sounds like Jake the dog From adventure time, will he did say sick as a "dog"

[@plantemor]

I always feel weird when Americans talk about us Europeans as a unit. I mean... do they know that we are vastly different countries with vastly different cultures and levels of service? Dunno that I have ever heard of "European mtv" :b I'd suppose it's be divided by country. German mtv won't be the same as Norwegian mtv.

[@thaghost3260]

Food poisoning happening that fast? I don't think it was the McDonald's that caused it because the shortest I've heard of food poisoning acting is within 30 minutes

[@folgargrimm6811]

in my food handlers class you need to take before working in any kitchen in Canada tells us that it can hit you anywhere from 5mins- 2 hours after eating!

[@garagavia]

He kinda is

[@JamesPittelko]

Are you fucking kidding me?

[@bradyconnor648]

Huh, when I heard his song, u thought of a outcast kid that has a huge crush on this really popular girl but she thinks he's gross and dumb but she doesn't know what he actually lives through.

[@br00t4lbreakdownzfuk]

He was also raped.

[@666xXxSLAYERxXx666]

wow the disgusting poison of patriotism in the crowd ¬_¬
