Hello lovelies! I know there was a recent FTC settlement with BetterHelp in regards to patients' data being used for advertising purposes between 2017 and 2020. I have had discussions with the BetterHelp teams, and it’s been relayed that at no time have any members’ names or clinical data from therapy sessions ever been shared with any advertisers, publishers, social media platforms or any other similar third parties. You can read this in more detail in their Privacy Policy here: www.betterhelp.com/your-questions-answered/ Additionally, since the settlement they have been certified by HITRUST, which is an industry-recognized gold standard for providing the highest level of information protection. It is one of the most recognized data security certification programs in the health industry. I would never promote a product I didn’t deeply believe in, and BetterHelp is a service that helps some of us find the therapists we may need to help us through those dark times, or prevent dark times. If you’d like to know more, let’s engage here in this comment thread!

[@BronzeDragon0009]

The company is using legal speak to sidestep critique. It, by the FTC's report on the matter, disclosed user's email address, IP address, and health questionnaire's with large advertising agencies. While not directly showing names many user's names are in their email address. As for the second one I don't know what constitutes as healthcare info by their definition but a health questionnaire would, at least for me, fall under that banner of private medical info. While the HITRUST certification does help credibility I still have a hard time trusting a company that has in the past had such a lapse in judgement to sell user health questionnaire's to Facebook. In a country where federal fines are considered an operating cost in the same way that bribing politicians are, I just don't trust a publicly owned for profit company to have access to information of such importance. That being said I don't fault you for taking the ad. My distrust of corporations is systemic and so I am deeply distrustful of publicly traded companies (and private ones that are extremely massive), but that is my opinion. I could see how increasing access to therapy would be a worthy cause in most peoples eyes and with a HITRUST certification I completely understand taking it, I personally just wouldn't want to take the risk if something like that happened in the past.

Great video! It may have been recommended to you or pointed out, but I am sure Corey would sign up for the science of what is going on in his throat (cammed up) on any song.

He believes in people, it's always the "it's the fight in the dog" mentality with him, it seems, which really lets his humility shine. Keep up the stellar work! 👍

Chris is afraid of birds, Craig is afraid of dogs, Mick is afraid of that one scene in Poltergeist, Corey and Jim hate explosions.

I remember in your tea time interview with Alissa White-Gluz how she too talked about how it's easier for her to switch between harsh and clean vocals during a song precisely because they use different muscles within the throat. She doesn't do this nearly at all in her new band: Arch Enemy, though 1 of the 2 times she did do so, the song Reason to Believe, actually fits perfectly with your focus on mental health, and is a great song in its own right for you to cover on the channel. Though it's in her work with her previous band: The Agonist, where she switched between harsh and clean vocals a lot in nearly(if not) every song. Some song recommendations from the Alissa era of The Agonist are: Business Suits and Combat Boots, Thank You, Pain, Panophobia and Rise and Fall. You can also check their newer material with their new vocalist, as they maintained their style of switching between harsh and clean vocals.

What you said about mental health in music is so true, I’m a drummer/ songwriter in a band , 1 song in particular I wrote following the death of my wife, hearing that replayed every time we play is so bittersweet, hearing this song which to me is almost poetry and replaying the loss I felt and still feel stirs feelings and memories both good and painful every single time, best way I can describe it is to imagine the women you love and adore dieing then every time you go to work someone talks to you about her forcing you to to think about it, on 1 hand you love thinking about her but on the other you’re reminded she’s no longer with you, the wound stays fresh and never heals.

[@reignedaze]

Glad you noticed the differences in the ears as well. Simply because of how many people/instruments are in the band slipknot tend to always focus the left ear more on the clean sounds and the right ear on the distortion. This also helps you hear each sound a bit better on top of the additional feelings it gives.

There are new masks for every new album. This video represents the death and rebirth of each band member/character and the arrival of 2 new members then: the bassist and the drummer.

thanks for reacting to this song i've been waiting for a while

[@dimelives1]

With all the times Elizabeth has covered Slipknot (apparently heeding her followers' recommendations), I'm pretty flabbergasted that she has yet to do any of the songs from the band's prime era, their first two albums, before Corey blew out his screaming voice. If she thinks she's heard his harshes, but hasn't listened to anything off of Iowa or the self-titled album, then she hasn't heard anything... His voice became a dry desert compared to the beast it was on those albums, likely because he didn't treat it well during that time, but boy did it give us some gnarly performances. It's gotten a little better again in recent years, but I reckon likely won't ever be quite like those old screams again. I'd suggest "Wait and Bleed", the song that really kicked off their stardom, but it's so short. She can't do something like "Surfacing" because half of the video would be silent from all the censoring. Perhaps "Eyeless" for its raw intensity... or how about "Purity", with it's mix of vocal techniques and haunting chorus cleans? Anything from those first two albums would be great to see her react to, though, even though most of the choices would likely be quiet intense (and in some cases downright scary) for someone of her sensibilities. Either way, it'd make for great entertainment! 🤣

I got excited seeing this one! This was the first Slipknot song I'd heard, and it helped me through a very rough part of my life mental health wise by giving me a newfound sense of purpose I guess, in that I then knew what I wanted to do with my life, being writing and performing music. I was interested in music, but this song REALLY cemented that passion, which I'm very thankful for. The other thing is that I'm pretty sure the actions in the music video are inspired by the members' fears. Jim hates explosions, Chris hates birds, Sid needs his fingers for DJ'ing, etc. But I also have a suspicion that the stabbing scene was maybe meant to be seen as an initiation, since the guys in the wheelchairs, Jay and Vman, were new members at the time. Up until that point you only see them in the wheelchairs, but after the stabbing they're also seen in the room playing their respective instruments. That's my headcanon at least lol

I'll say it again. You really need to do a reaction to In This Moment. Maria Brink is almost a gender swapped Corey Taylor. They both expertly know how to use harsh and clean vocals for max effect. BIG BAD WOLF would be a great start and you can feed your inner cosplay geek

Terrible way to describe Maria....it's more like she's the female version of Cory Taylor....she's a real female.....and I don't have bow to other people's delusions....just saying.

Word of warning Elizabeth, Better Help has had controversies in the past about their "therapists" not actually being licensed therapists, aka, should NOT be talking with people in distress

[@kirkmccune7944]

That was definitely something stated on their website, which has now been removed language. And truth be told, I used the service for 6 months myself, and it took me 3 different matches until I found someone I vibbed with.

When you talked about communicating immotion in a simple way with a limited range, it reminded me of this song. (You'll get yours aplenty by Blaze Foley) the song is only 2 minutes long but there's a whole world of immotion and meaning to be found in some simple observations with the right inflection and a guitar. The best way that I can think to describe. It is soul crushingly simple for those who have eyes to see. Thanks for another great analysis.

[@bigpoppa6059]

You gotta check out their first two albums where corey was screaming in the worst way possible for his voice. Songs like eyeless, heretic anthem, or spit it out

For some fun, Corey Taylor gave “voice” to a Doctor Who creature called the Fisher King in an episode called “Before the Flood”, it’s a sound that when you hear it you immediately ask yourself “Was that Corey??” 😂

[@gauchesymbiote1039]

It's similar to the vocalizations he makes in the song "Gently" on Iowa.

This song resonates so well. I had trauma when I was a child and my mind split my psyche. It’s another entity in my mind. I feel this.

Hello from Wales. Love what you do and am a big fan. I have watched a load of your vods and I am seeing a lack of one major thrash metal band that I think you would love (unless I'm an idiot and didn't see them in your vids). Anthrax. Joey Belladonna has an amazing voice, with what I percieve to have an great range. I might be wrong but thought I would contribute

[@travdaddy5923]

Stop taking money from better help it’s literally a scam.

I would love to see a podcast of this. Invite the band or vocalists n talk about it together. I feel like you break these down so well that the artists would love this as well!

[@Karpata1]

I'm glad you're getting sponsors but a word of warning to everyone who is considering to use Better Help. Do your research and know what you're getting into. They have a controversial track record and it doesn't look like they have changed much since the last time they were called out a year or two ago.

[@trevorgreenough6141]

Woo! It's fun watching you get nerdy about the voice, I like watching people get excitedly passionate.

[@RobTaylor-cs3bz]

Please look into analyzing Paul McCartney's voice from the live album "Wings Over America" (1976). His voice on the album ranges from pleasantly smooth, to full out rocker, to even bluesy. He is truly the man of a thousand voices!

[@thebatman69]

Every time i watch your videos i get to re-enjoy songs i love. You articulate so well. I remember listening to this album the first time and going into it im like no way can slipknot bring out an album to top there other and this one did for sure. Yes this music helps cathartic release and when you listen to the album the ups and downs are so well put together

[@alchemyrecords657]

Oof. Betterhelp sponsor?

[@katieb-je2rg]

Corey has refined and improved is vocal ability over the years and you can tell…I’ve been a Slipknot fan since the beginning, and even when he was “doing it wrong” and wrecking his vocal cords, he sounded good because it fit. But now he’s got such a better ability to mix the cleaner stuff more often, with his insane range tickles my brain even more. This video can be gross to some lol, but with each of them “dying by their own personal fears of worst way to die” and being reborn essentially with the new members and masks, gives a great image to go with the lyrics. Love your channel Elizabeth! I love watching you, your reactions are the cutest and most sincere and I really appreciate your knowledge and love how you explain the technicalities of everything. You teach me stuff! 😃

I 100% recommend “From Can to Can’t”. It’s a collaboration with multiple rock legends including Corey Taylor on vocals and Dave Growl on drums. An amazing song that shows the capability of Corey Taylor’s cleaner vocals.

[@jakobchristiansson]

Great video as usual :) I particularly enjoyed the part where you discuss mixing, and I have a somewhat unusual recommendation for you! As you were talking about what makes a mix good, I found myself thinking about who I consider to be the absolute best musicians in the industry, when it comes to mixing specifically. Now the thing is that they make electronic instrumental music, so it doesn't really fit that well on a vocal coach channel, but I would really love to see you breakdown their compositions from a vocalist standpoint. Because although they don't use actual voices, they still create some of the most musically interesting compositions I have ever heard. Their sound design and mixing is incredibly meticulous, and I would absolutely recommend you give them a listen! I would be very interested to hear your analysis on their track "Voices of Dissent", as I think it is one of their more rythmically and melodically interesting tracks. Although I understand completely if such a video doesn't really fit at all with your channel, I really enjoy your analysis of not just the vocals in every track but at the bigger sonic picture as a whole! And in my opinion, KOAN Sound paints the best sonic pictures in the business :D

[@mikeselectricstuff]

so this is the new strategy of betterhelp? before they onboarded phillip defranco to vouch for them, and now they are aware that people know they're shady so they prep the content creators with a PR statement beforehand lol lmao this is the same as a VPN or crypto sponsorship btw, you might think it's harmless or not your business what your audience does, but these things are inherently predatory.

@@Dana_Rose_ I have zero intention of deleting your comment, and I don’t know why you think we would? There are a lot of companies that have questionable employment practices, and yet are extremely popular. Amazon, Walmart, Tesla. Even the diamond trade. Diamonds are forever… And yet, there’s no product that I know of that can provide a therapist or counselor to someone who lives in the remote reaches of rural areas. I’d love a solution that can provide mental health to them when no mental healthcare exists. Please, if you have a solution for that, let me know.

This is your fifth Slipknot. Since you are a metal head, hopefully you will get to some old school metal you have not done yet - Accept, Anthrax, Exodus, Metal Church, Overkill, Slayer, Testament to name a few.

[@MetalPersonJ]

Yeah, her still doing Slipknot is getting old. They aren't that good and never were. For that matter, Corey's not that interesting of a vocalist (or a person), I'd have rather she'd done another Nightwish song (and given that POTT just came out, I'm surprised she's not tripping over herself to do that) tbh, and even they've been done to death here. Accept would be interesting, cos Udo's vocals are EXTREMELY divisive.

[@TheCharismaticVoice]

I have Anthrax and Slayer on my list, and I think Testament. But I haven't heard of the others. As far as Nightwish, there's a reason we haven't covered them in almost two years. But that might change soon!
