Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing "Before I Forget" by SLIPKNOT

[@tigerlily8447]

Fun fact: slipknots first video without masks and as the internet wasnt as huge as it is now, we all watched this desperately trying to peep their faces for the first time

Yep. Enjoying the music without a really teen and fun zeitgeist.

[@joeschmo8755]

Fun fact: this is the song that won Slipknot their first Grammy but wasn’t the first time nominated for a Grammy. That honor went to “wait and bleed” from their first album self titled Slipknot

[@kakeshana6384]

So when Corey says “I was a creature before I can stand,” I think he’s talking about how the world has always treated him differently before he became the world famous singer song writer we know today. Which means that he had to become famous before everyone looked at him like he was an actual human.

[@spirit.desire]

My theory on that part is that he's referring to how he was never able to be a normal person since he was little. With him being so poor, moving all the time, the thing he went through with his only "friend"..he was never able to live like a person, but more like a creature. And what he means by "I will remember before I forget" is that he will remember who he truly is on the inside behind the mask and the music before he gets lost in the game and puts on the mask that turns him into the icon everyone remembers him as. That's just my take on the song.

[@jacoballen8373]

dude it’s so dope that you went from being half scared to watch them to loving them , slipknot has always been a favorite, my dad is a tattoo artist so he’s always playing metal in his shop and i pretty much grew up hearing slipknot all the time

[@angiesandoval9976]

My aunt has a tattoo shop!! My love for Slipknot and other metal bands grew from being at the shop all the time too!!

[@tattooedfreak2083]

When this video came out nobody knew the faces behind the masks and this video was kind of a teaser of what they looked like

[@isaacduplantis1114]

That's pretty sick

[@ΒασίληςΤσώνης-υ9φ]

They should have known Corey's face, stone sour was pretty big by then

[@aegrathMH]

also roots face was know from stone sour and joey face from murderdolls.

[@splaygum8554]

Stone sour existed before slipknot

[@AvB.83]

Stone Sours debut record sold 500,000 copies in three years, Slipknot sold 1,000,000 within months with both Iowa & Vol.3 ;) They weren't never nearly as big. And Murderdolls were even less known, at least judging by record sales. So yes, by that time, that teaser was a pretty cool thing. Nobody I knew had ever heard of Stone Sour by that time, and I don't think anyone cared enough about Murderdolls to be aware that that was Joey from Slipknot...

[@Radamenthe]

Facts

[@MatthewSchiess]

The meaning of the song, and your interpretation of it are spot-on. During the writing of the album this song came on (The Subliminal Verses) was the time the lead singer, Corey Taylor, got sober. So, the changes he went through were very palpable both mentally and physically. It’s been said that an album is a snapshot of where a person or a band is at the time that is was created. I believe there is no better example of that concept than this record. In the Google Play mini-doc on this band, Clown referred to this album cycle as a time of healing. “Little more color, Little more saturation...chilled a little bit, but still THAT guy.”

The video is showing their true selves pretty much. In the beginning, it starts with just their feet and hands and stuff. Then, as the video goes on, it shows the band mates masks are off..and little by little, it starts showing their mouths, their eyes, their features. And what Corey means by "I will remember before I forget" is that he will remember who he truly is behind the mask before he puts the mask back on and becomes the icon that everyone else remembers.
