[@treyxaviermusic]

My songwriting course is finally HERE: bit.ly/SONGWRITINGCOURSE

[@dedrxbbit7549]

I think the track sounds awesome, but i think since you can’t sound like Corey you accidentally made a DED song haha

[@dedrxbbit7549]

Don’t get me wrong, it’s still fucken sick, just not Slipknot

[@BenPlaysRoblox247]

I love you “hear gods” t-shirt

[@getinTHEBIN318]

This genuinely sounds nothing like slipknot.

[@experimetalfan8851]

That Rooster was the most Slipknot thing ever

[@melihspots7939]

If corey did the vocals, I would Litteraly think this was made by slipknot.

[@Bike_Chain]

Petition for Slipknot to cover this song

[@treyxaviermusic]

undersigned

[@shadowedge729]

i’d sign it

[@JamesSSWayne]

They did in Hive Mind from the The End, So Far Album.

[@treyxaviermusic]

Me too man, me too

[@mrfuck792]

no

[@TylerHerwek]

@@mrfuck792 ok

[@dmcgilvrey]

Dude that’s dope!!! Your chorus is a little more Motionless In White to me but the tone is a great match for Slipknot. And that rooster!!! Brilliant

[@treyxaviermusic]

Interesting, I’ve barely listened to MiW at all, is there a certain song it reminds you of that I should hear?

[@iMatty_2]

@@treyxaviermusic Reincarnate would be a good song to check out!

[@dmcgilvrey]

Gear Gods they have a real common chorus phrasing. Check Dark Passenger on Reincarnate

[@MatteoThePotato]

Soft and Thoughts and Prayers are probably their most slipknot like songs

[@moheuropeanassult]

@@dmcgilvrey Plus Slipknot is a big MIW influence. They even toured together 2 years ago.

[@nerdvananc]

I'd lose my mind if you made a "Let's Write an Opeth song"

[@treyxaviermusic]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[@KYUBIMATIAS]

@@treyxaviermusic I would LOVE if you attempted an AAL song. I say attempted because that might have to be a 2-3 part episode.

[@josephrivera2696]

YEEEESSSSSSS

@@KYUBIMATIAS Yeah I'm not nearly good enough to do that I think haha

[@mikeywilson123]

This should be a series where he just try’s to make songs from other bands 🤘🏼

[@trunks828]

Emg: trey wanna demo are pickups? Trey: sure I wrote an entire slip knot song. Emg we just asked for a simple demo.

[@treyxaviermusic]

That’s basically how it went down hahaha

[@visualdarkness]

@@treyxaviermusic The best kind of over-doing!

[@rezafelayati6574]

I can imagine Corey Taylor singing that song....100% sounds like Slipknot!

[@paulmeches]

WHY DOES NO ONE TALK ABOUT THE "SLIP BUT NOT" SIGN? Nice video Trey!

[@ogbrycaryca4143]

The chorus vocals make it sound a bit like a seether or skillet type song, it's insane how much one instrument can change the feel of a part of a song

[@VicSellsPeace]

YEAH!!! I thought it sounded so cheesy. IF the lyrics were more obscure, darker, and sadder - it would be like slipknot

[@jordy2x_]

More like Three Days Grace lol

[@RainMakeR_Workshop]

So when are slipknot covering this live with Trey as a guest?

[@treyxaviermusic]

Tweet this song at them and let’s try and make it happen!

[@wanderergrim]

Yeah Mick is definitely the death metal guy in the band. I watched an interview where he was saying that he tells his students to check out this death metal band, not sure if he's still a guitar teacher since I am not from the states let alone Iowa

[@treyxaviermusic]

I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that he does not still teach hahaha

[@Defleshuary]

He had a guest spot on a Malevolent Creation album before. However, Joey and Paul both were in Anal Blast for a bit. Mick is the most outspoken on death metal these days.

[@ImmortalReaver]

Sounded like a Slipknot song until the vocals were added. Now it sounds like if Trapt made a metalcore band. haha

[@suckishsoldier769]

acurate just wish it was really corey

[@treyxaviermusic]

Thanks guys, if you dig the song, tweet this video at Slipknot to see what they think! You can download it here: bit.ly/GHOSTEARTH and it will be on streaming services soon!

[@charlesrocks]

What keyboard are you rolling with there? I would like to experiment with it and see if it improves my workflow. I really liked how you used it to streamline your writing process.

[@apoplexiamusic]

i would recommend checking Drum & Bass sample packs from Loopmasters for awesome breakbeats ;)

[@treyxaviermusic]

@@charlesrocks The one I used in this video is total shit, I wouldn't recommend it at all. I recently upgraded to a Native Instruments Komplete A25 which is cool, but there are a lot of different kinds on the market that do USB MIDI and they'll all do basically the same thing with different features.

[@claywebb1784]

please apologize for not writing a bass part.

[@cry.skull745]

Dude! this legit sounds like a Slipknot song, hell i can even imagine them offering to officialize it.

[@valkynaztheimmortal9163]

Coming from the mindset of someone who listens to Slipknot as a favorite band, this song can definitely be shaped into a Slipknot song with the right people, obviously. You made something that I don't think a lot could, even without the godly voice of Corey Taylor, and to imagine how Corey could make those words really sound out to the world is amazing to think about. The guitar parts themselves could also be improved upon, depending on the sort of album style that you could have gone with, or if it was an amalgamation of them altogether. Overall, there's real potential for this song. You should definitely see if Corey would be down to do an actual vocal cover of this thing. That would be wicked.

[@bassica7027]

Agreed

[@therapist6328]

Hit me up if you need his number

[@HevyDevy101]

You get massive bonus points if you send this to Corey's people and have him send it back with him on vocals

[@nathanielcava4128]

Those pickups are definitely kick ass. Swapping my 81 set for these

[@treyxaviermusic]

I liked them a lot better than the 81/85 set personally

[@MrCholoPants3415]

Spot on. Obviously the vocals are impossible to get identical to Corey, but they still sounded good. The screams were actually pretty similar. Everything was pretty much identical tho

[@UnlovedZetsu]

The song is basically if Slipknot and Skillet had a baby lmao

[@techrakatt]

I was thinking Slipknot featuring Adam Gontier on chorus.

[@devinvenne]

@@techrakatt ha I was just thinking that

[@servicestuffs2549]

Love the sign in the back “slip but not”... clever! Nice work, sounds great!

[@DanielGonzalez-mb9hg]

Sounds great! I agree with the other commenter that mentioned the chorus sounds a lot like Soilwork - it could be straight off of Natural Born Chaos. Don't sweat not being able to match Corey - you can change your guitar pickups, but you can't change your vocal chords!

[@DaleGilmoreMusic]

good lord this came out fantastic. That chorus is hella hooky too!

[@Chroncher]

Dude the background vocals in the chorus are beautiful 😍

[@joshkuhnmusic]

Absolutely love this series. Legit sounds like it should be a Slipknot song

[@timhoke1229]

Long time listener, first time caller. This was so much fun to watch! The song is fantastic, but the way you broke down and rebuilt the Slipknot recipe, absolutely brilliant. Bravo dude.

[@jonmrock8283]

I grew up listening to lots of Korn and Slipknot and your vocals have a very Jonathan Davis sound and paired with this amazing Slipknot track, it is one of the most badass songs i have heard in years!! Thanks you for doing what you do Trey. Keep it up!!

[@andreylucass]

Without vocals I think we could add it to slipknot albums torrents and many people would believe it as an unreleased demo. Nice work.

[@treyxaviermusic]

If only it was still the days of Limewire, just label it as Slipknot and let the P2P madness do the rest haha

[@alchemutation]

Dude! This is the third of yours I've seen, and yes I have now watched 3 in a row. I have already clicked subscribe. The way you articulate your points rings home with me. I understand everything you're saying in a way that feels new and inspiring. Very insightful observations and your execution was *Chef's kiss*!

Okay, this song kicks fucking ass, not to mention those pickups sound fantastic as well. Killer as usual, Trey, can’t wait to see what you do next for these “Let’s Write A Song” videos

[@wmxx2000]

From the demos I've heard, the bass player "V-Man" has a preset on the Omega DSP. I think that preset sounds better than the Mick Thomson one.

Came across your channel, first video watched and I was blown away. You nailed it. You made it look easy but I’m sure that took 100’s of hours. It ain’t no country bumpkin song that can be pumped out in a few hours. Also…I love Boulevard Wheat Beer.
