@@tucanolegendasegameplays lol all good. Slipknot definitely doesn't fit super well in any category, which they have done well to purposefully create that dilemma. This whole album, We Are Not Your Kind, is all about saying F U to labels and characterizing and compartmentalizing their music, which I think is amazing, because the only other group to do that is System of the Down, but SotD is so different from other metal. This song has elements of Nu, Heavy, Death, and a few other different styles, you almost want to call it Corey Taylor Metal or Slipknot Metal

[@segwolfxviii2919]

They bounce between different forms of metal. That's why they are the greatest metal band of all time.

[@Millennial_marksman]

Unsainted, and this whole album, is about coming out above and conquering life’s vices and addictions. The line “I’ll never kill myself to save my soul” is about not resorting to addictions or self destructive habits in search of relief. Corey’s (lead singer) mask is modeled after a burn victim’s protective mask and is symbolic of the restorative/healing process of breaking habits and addictions. The imagery of the church along side dark and creepy visuals, in my opinion, is to depict the dichotomy of life. How some can find healing in non-destructive manners (faith, worship, group therapy) and others elect to chase relief in the form of intoxication or self harm. This song is about choosing a path of healing that takes you away from the darkness and pain, without hurting yourself in the process.

[@jonathanlusk9302]

It's also about Corey's divorce, "you've killed the saint in me, how dare you martyr me"

[@Severen45]

@@jonathanlusk9302 I think he's referring to life there honestly... His divorce was quite a while ago, most of those songs were probably on .05, or that is one interp of this song.

[@hornet1065]

Religion isn't "non-destructive". Sure, it doesn't damage the body directly like drug addiction does, but instead it damages society and humanity as a whole. Religion promotes values that is harmful for women and minorities like homosexuals, trans-people and atheists. If we take a look at the Catholic church it's really damaging for children, I don't think I have to explain why. So by turning to religion for self healing you become a part of those problems and a reason for them to keep surviving and halting humanity's development. Religion cause a lot more damage than drugs ever will. Also drug use ≠ addiction. The vast majority of drug users will never become addicted. And drugs can work really well for healing, not just relief. Of course depending on the drug and how you use it. Cannabis is great for treating physical pain and can help you change your values and opinions for the better, MDMA and Ecstasy is great for treating PTSD and psychedelics can cure depression and addiction.

[@fatdoggolovespizza]

@@hornet1065 turns out, if you make the extreme claim that religion damages society and humanity, you do need to "explain why," if any rational and sane person is going to believe you. In present day it is still largely debated whether or not a strong religious presence promotes peace and welfare to society. However, studies show that countries with religious freedom such as the best country on Earth (in my opinion America) are more likely to be peaceful than a country without. religiousfreedomandbusiness.org/2/post/2014/10/religious-freedom-linked-to-peace-finds-new-global-study.html The study also suggests that communities with participating religious groups are slightly more peaceful than those who are not. Granted, this is just a study and isn't bulletproof, but at least it's quantifiable and empirically driven. What you said was asinine and stated as if it's absolute truth. You choose only to see the negatives in particular religions. You act as if athiests can't be racists, homophobes, sexists, murderers, etc. There is plenty of good that comes from religious morals that you choose to ignore. ALSO, the original commenter wasn't even supporting religion, he was simply explaining what the song is about. So I don't know what the imtent of your comment was.

[@fatdoggolovespizza]

@@hornet1065 last point. You take extreme examples of the positives for a minority group of people (those with PTSD etc.) and use that as a defense for drug use. The number of people who use those drugs for actual treatment versus recreational use is next to nothing, so there goes that trash argument. Want to tell me drugs are doing less harm than religion? Tell that to the people on skid row and our rising homeless population, and all the opioid addicts we have.

Every album, the members of this band get new masks. It started back when they were practicing together before their first album, somebody brought in a mask and brought up the idea of wearing them so people wouldn't focus on the band as personalities, but would focus more on the music. They also numbered themselves from 0-8 to, once again, avoid people latching onto their personalities like celebrities. It sorta backfired though since the masks are the most recognizable thing about them and people latched onto the masks. They have always used very dark imagery in their look and sound, and that is a huge reason why they have such an intense cult-like following. Their dark lyrics conjure up dark emotions and give a voice to people struggling with those emotions that can't be open about it with people they interact with in everyday life without being looked down upon or pitied. This band is one of the greatest live bands of all time as well. Their shows are INTENSE. I don't entirely understand all of the imagery in this particular video, like the old woman and stuff, but knowing these guys, they created every shot deliberately and with reason.

No disrespect but you are 100% off. The masks have always been apart of the band not as a get up or a costume but each mask was made by each member to represent themselves. Corey (lead singer) has his mask, the new drummer jay has his, mick has his, jim has his, ect. But each mask is a visual representation on who that person is. They update their masks with every album so show the growth that they have made as a person.

So many people get this wrong, it's literally in the title "Unsainted." This song is about one tearing themselves away from the religion they were brought up in and the sheltered life they led as a child, because they discovered it wasn't the life they wanted to live. "I'll never kill myself to save my soul. I was lost but how was I to know?" The angry mother figure in the beginning, then her face changes to sadness. Her trying to stop him from leaving. He talks about the change in their relationship and the love he lost. He was her sin.... He burns himself in effigy at the end... This all happens in a church.... Maybe it's just apparent to me because I went through it. Every lyric in this song hits home like a freight train.

[@user-wo8ko1kq9t]

Best ever description 🖤

[@aubergineman9153]

Don’t know if it makes a difference but its “ i was gone but how was i to know?

[@MegaHariboboy]

Not particularly. Corey Taylor himself is atheist, wasn't brought up religiously, started smoking cigarettes at 10, weed at 12, and was using coke and meth by the age of 15 (by which time he had overdosed twice) It's quite far from a sheltered life. The song is about his, the general idea of addiction, and depression. Thats why when he says 'I'll never kill myself to save my soul', he's referring to how he will never take his own life in order to stop those feelings, but also how he will never go back to his vices in order to cure his depression. "I was gone but how was I to know' is in reference to how his depression and addictions had taken him over, but he was so caught up in it that how was he to know that he was that far gone. Thats why the line 'I'm finally holding on to letting go' is him talking about holding on to letting go to his addictions and depression - not religion.

In case it hasn't been stated, the band are a 9 piece that always wear masks. Each member has thier own mask and persona, and each album they change the mask subtly, whilst keeping thier identity similar. The masks were used as a gimmick, but also helped them feel free on stage, giving them the anonimity to act on stage and keep their home life separate...until they became big and unmasked themselves. This song is about Cory Taylor, the lead singer, and his struggles with depression, self destructive habits, and suicidal thoughts. It's also thier 1st main video fro. The new album where they are showcasing thier new masks. The next song I would recommend you reacting to by them would be Spit It Out (live at download 2009). It shows you their on stage presence, how they work the crowd to hype them up, and why they are so popular. I would also recommend looking up the lyrics, as it will help you cut through the growls and see how good Cory is at his job.

This is called amazing chaotic energy. Going to a concert is an experience in it of itself. I've seen them a few times and its like a huge family coming together and enjoying the magic that is slipknot.

[@jessewealthy8511]

Bro, this lead singer was featured on a track with Tech N9ne! It's called Wither, check it out!

[@jtangen98]

Corey Taylor is one hell of a singer.

[@timlehmkuhle2760]

This video just popped up on my recommended list and its the first I've seen of yours. I know it's from 2 months ago but bro, it was hilarious seeing someone step into slipknot for the first time. I'll be checking out some more of the rock reactions from you. Btw, Devil in I by Slipknot is one you should definitely do if you haven't already.

[@Dirty10]

I think its fantastic that you're broadening your musical horizons. I'm excited to watch you go on this journey.

[@dirtydan4387]

Duality - Slipknot, Before I Forget - Slipknot, Devil In I - Slipknot, Psychosocial - Slipknot, Nightmare - Avenged Sevenfold, Def. more but those are top tier

[@Prophxo]

Ayeee. Im always here for NF and Witt Lowry (obviously watch them all though). Slipknot reaction?? Lets go!! #FireSquad

[@spencermccombs1044]

The masks are their personas, and they're known as alternative metal. The masks are just their identities.

[@davidvarga2916]

I've had the pleasure of attending a Slipknot concert once only since they never come to my country. The energy and emotions that I've experienced there shall never be forgotten and will treasure in my soul. Also this might not be the best pick of a song for a first time Slipknot song. You just scare him away 😂

[@leonesse1788]

Love seeing reactions to Slipknot music. They're deep and a lot for some people to take in. It's good to see an open mind and curious reaction. Slipknot intends to provoke our emotions, create an examination of ourselves and life, all of it. We wouldn't be able to understand anything good about life without being willing to look the worst of it right in the face, even if that face is wearing a mask. Much love!

[@nicholasreedy5106]

Listen to Duality The masks are like a stage persona, they all wear different masks. If you see their older music videos, they’re masks have changed overtime 🤘🏼

[@viralpanda5590]

Not really? Yeah Corey said that their masks allow them to release the beast inside them while they are on stage, but their masks represent what they are going through during that time. Like in Volume 3 Corey's mask was all slanted and stitched together to represent how he was always drunk or in All Hope is Gone that makes represented how he kinda stopped feeling emotions during that period with all of the shit he went through. I know that Corey's mask changes with how he feels, but idk about the other members.

[@dankcardboard9078]

@@viralpanda5590 The masks usually signify something personal about the member but it all depends on who really, for Sid in All Hope is Gone it was a somewhat tribute to transformers because he is a huge fan of the franchise, for Jim the Jester is supposed to reflect his personality. For Joey his mom had a similar mask and it "traumatized" him

3:36 They opened with this song the other night and the energy was awesome! The whole show was fantastic easily the best I saw at the festival.

As shawn "clown" stated in an interview "the masks represent something about ourselves that we can't put into words. Being the clown also means I can't laugh because I know the truth. My purpose is to help others forget about it."

If you want a song that switches a complete 180, do “Buried Alive” by Avenged Sevenfold. Very drastic change of flow and sound from beginning to end, but still the same song.
