I FINALLY Heard "Spit it Out" by SLIPKNOT

When I was like 11 or 12 years old, I was filled with anger, was not violent, but suffered a lot, it was like a time bomb. And SlipKnot was the first metal band I knew, and god, they saved my life for sure. All those things I had inside, Slipknot made them more easy to overcome, as you said, it was a catharsis. The best one and exactly in the right moment. I owe them a lot :)

Totally psychotic and awesome

[@leonidasneves7972]

Funny how Alex didnt listen to their whole studio discography but still made a video about "what your favorite Slipknot Album says about you' when he literally didnt even listen to the whole albums (????) Like this is the 1st time he's listening to the studio version of spit it out, Prosthetics, Diluted, Are so underrated and brutal and he didnt even check it out GAMATRIA, ONE OF THEIR BEST SONGS OF ALL TIME and didnt even take a listen to the whole AHIG album Alex lost his edge

[@sugarandchaos]

I think you nailed it. I think they just reflected a lot of the frustration and rage that was tearing through us teens in this era. Their music was such a good outlet. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in the early 2000's, so many bruises, good times.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

Me too...Ozzfest 2001. Marilyn Manson played after them though and blew them away! That was back when Manson had John 5, Jeordie White, and Ginger Fish in his band though they were on fire back then during the HolyWood tour.

[@sugarandchaos]

I saw the Holywood Tour, too. Peak Manson.

[@ZoltanvamosOfficial]

The whole X-factor thing with Slipknot is completely true, It is so hard to point to exactly what "it" is with all eras of Slipknot. They have that just... I guess the best word is energy? They have a sound to them that's just very them, they have anger but its also darkness, the feeling that they give isn't really "Angry for the sake of it" but more like "Let out your anger" you know? It's the best way I can describe it.

[@QuantumCat5446]

Aggressive?

[@ZoltanvamosOfficial]

@@QuantumCat5446 I guess, but more of a supportive aggressive I guess? 😅

[@liminalcriminal_]

⁠@@ZoltanvamosOfficial Slipknot is not always supportive. Theyre more often than not just bitching about their lives (though it absolutely works super well). There’s a good few exceptions obviously, and I’m not too familiar with anything past .5

[@brettfolkerth7612]

@@liminalcriminal_ It is supportive, IMO. They are vocalizing what so many people are feeling and letting them know that they aren't alone and they do belong somewhere.

[@VolBeat2412.]

6:07 Fun fact: they used to destroy stuff when they played this song (almost at the end of it) back in 99' . It was literally chaos everywhere, besides the band going crazy, of course

[@TonyHavenMusic]

There were sooooo many bands doing music with similar concepts and arrangements and structures during a 3 or 4 year period back then. What pushed them up was that their singer is world class, same for their drummer RIP, their bass player RIP, the guitarists are both top tier, and the DJ did his job but also took it to extremes on stage with the percussionist, that made them collectively unstoppable

[@FredRobich]

Slipknot back in this era was everything that you needed to live for.

[@damianvanlier4043]

I've always had a way of looking at slipknot as like rusty metal. Not rusty as in old or bad but dark gritty hard. Fucking loving these guys.

[@ot44ever54]

Fun fact: this is actually THE DEMO of spit it out, they decided to put the demo version into the album because they find it better than the version we were supposed to have (the Stamp you out remix, or the hyper version, either of 2) and Corey wasnt satisfied with his vocals so the demo is quite hard, but the Hyper Version is really fast

[@TheJokesterSCR]

I honestly think the re-recorded version is much better than the demo, but it felt so weird since I was already used to the demo version. But, if I'm gonna jam Spit it Out these days, I listen to the re-recorded version because it has the same sound and mix as the rest of the album. And, I think Corey sounds much better in that one as well.

[@ot44ever54]

@@TheJokesterSCR honestly I love the Hyper version, so fast, I actually used to find weird how Spit it Out sounds compared to the rest of the self titled album, it really did felt like a demo, Corey also sounds mord deep and gutural, similar to his IOWA vocals, the re-recored version he rly sounds more like his self titled tone But I still can't decide between the 2, not the biggest fan of the Stamp u Out remix tho

[@PaulLoh]

I used to sing this at karaoke when it first came out. One night, the electricity went out in the bar right after I finished the first verse. The DJ allowed me to start again from the beginning. For anyone that was under the illusion that I was just mumbling incoherently, I performed it exactly the way I had the first time. It's difficult with how fast he goes, but when you nail it, it's fun as hell. On the subject of Slipknot, have you listened to their first album? They remade some of those songs for their first two major lable releases, but it's fascinating to hear their origins. Back in 2000, when Slipknot was touring the US in support of their major label debut, I went to their website. I found out their tour dates and the cities they were going to. It was quite disappointing to see that they would not be hitting up my town. Their website had a place where you could send them a message. I told them that here in Tucson, I'd sung a majority of their songs at karaoke and would love to see them live. Not two days later, they added Tucson to their tour list. I'm not going to say it was me, but deep down inside, I like to think that it was because of my message. Anyway, I saw them and they were amazing!

[@jasonjones281]

Seen them three times in last three years they still killing it!! Last of a an era.

[@BestBryFar]

Slipknot hit at the right time. After Korn and Limp and the like was a first outlet for the angst that was in SO MANY people. I mean, "Break Stuff" from Woodstock 98 anyone? Slipknot coming out the next year with even more amped up aggression. The controlled chaos of it all. Slipknot had your raw anger, your middle finger to a society you hated. Your catharsis from it all.

[@sebastianshades4]

Classic Slipknot! Back when they still wore the jumpsuits and had the homemade or converted masks. RIP Paul and Joey. It's also good to see Chris and Craig again.

[@LeadMe2TheBliss]

I like SlipKnot but I saw them live at Ozzfest and took a p!ss break during their set lol. IDK what it was, maybe they were having a bad day but their energy just wasn't really there. Maybe it was because they were still a young band at the time and they were on the main stage at Ozzfest at an amphitheater...they were probably used to playing small clubs back then. Marilyn Manson played after them though and blew them away!

[@victornestian]

Primal is the way to describe Slipknot at this stage. The energy and the rawness of the performance is what sets it apart in my opinion. This album and Iowa were absolutely entrancing on the atmosphere and the coarse vibe created. It feels unscrupulous, turbulent and intense. The extreme force of it when you consider the roughness, but how hard it is to express feelings that crude.

[@xandervampire195]

Fun Fact: Clown (Shawn Crahan) was the one who started the whole mask thing. He showed up to practice one time wearing the original Clown mask as a joke and the rest of the band loved it. They thought it would be really badass if they all got different, scary masks and wore them on-stage. Credit where credit is due, they were right. Slipknot's masks are iconic. Great band. I'll never tire of listening to them. Maggot for life.

[@ashmeese95]

Released way back in 1999, at the time I was just a humble 1st year at secondary school (high school for the non uk).. This song was my introduction to slipknot at 12 years old when it aired on kerrang, when kerrang was on TV Good vibes and an absolute throw back to my era Keep up the awesome reactions 👌

[@silviofoj]

This is the case where the live version is most awarded than the studio's version. Such a wild masterpiece.

[@SammyRebbo]

This is why for reaction channels I say it's always best to hear the studio version first, then whatever songs you like you go and listen to live versions of it. It also makes it so that for a song people can put in comments their favorite live version of the song and maybe even link the vid. As far as this song being 5 years late...well yeah, it is but better late than never and now that one commenter can finally relax! XD

[@RollMeOneKenobii]

I think the live version sucks ass. I don’t even know why people recommend it. Only because “jump the f up” which I also think sucks 😂 This plus the video is sick

I’ve been a huge fan of Slipknot for almost 20 years now. You hit the nail on the head with this type of music being a catharsis and a positive outlet for inner turmoil. These past couple of years have been the most difficult and challenging times of my life and other than music, your music and movie reaction channels have been a bright light for me in this dark time. Thank you for everything you do man. I hope you and your wife are enjoying yourselves in Hawaii!

[@theconqueror21]

Their first album is visceral. They were always heavy but that first album was just raw agression and all of the pent up rage from the lives to that point.

[@DennisVlaanderen]

The one word I'd use to descripe Slipknot from that era is Visceral. It's unapolageticly upfront about the intents and topics and for their time it was brutally heavy.

[@geoffb64]

Watching these guys at my first few metal festivals, in Australia in the early 90s, was utterly life changing.

[@calbarnoaviation1762]

Slipknot didn’t exist in the early 90s

[@Wernershnitzl]

Yo if you're still on your Slipknot deep dive, you should do the deep cut for Danger - Keep Away. I would also recommend the full version which is a bonus track off the deluxe version of Vol 3.

Full version is best.

[@onkelandy]

There is another version of this that Corey done on an acoustic tour and holy hell its great. If you can please watch that one its great

The reason the early slipknot is something else is cause it's technically 90s music which has a divine touch to it ;)

[@mainfish88]

The word is authentic

[@GaryWrightMusic]

I still remember seeing these guys live for the first time in 1999. I was hooked from minute one. They were all wearing the identical jumpsuits from the video (this video was clips from Ozzfest 99'), and it was nothing but a red blur from them running around and slapping each other on stage. There was pure chaos in a bottle, and I figured there was no way this band would last. I can't believe even with the extreme ups and downs that, they still do. I saw them three times at different festivals last year, and it cemented again just how well the music and energy are still alive! #spititout

[@AvengedHate26]

Controlled chaos, this era of SlipKnot was controlled chaos

[@zombieflop]

When the song is so good you have to mosh with your chair.

[@eldritchf4ther]

I think they were always destined to rise to the level they did because of the aesthetic. Regardless of the music, that kind of things draws people’s attention. It gets people talking, positively, and negatively and any publicity is good publicity. Not to mention, there’s an inherent darkness inside of every human being, and I feel like the slipknot of this era, and the Iowa era personified that darkness. I know it gave me, in my angrier years, a place to put my anger. Self titled will always be my favorite era, because it was the time I discovered who I was as a person at that time, and they were the catalyst for that. Anyhow, good stuff!

This song was an anthem for young people who were bullied or just generally had some kind of repressed anger towards people that suck during 99 and the early 2000s.

I remember getting in trouble for yelling “fuck me I’m all out of enemies” over and over all the time.

[@isaacbautista805]

Some of their earlier work, the instrumental is amazing and Corey sounds really young which I rly like, not trying to compare this "new" Slipknot from nowadays to the old Slipknot but like the old Slipknot just hits different, these 2 songs are SO headbanger!

Some of my favorite music, and my husband finds my full body reaction to music like this so funny and endearing, so I guess it's contagious 😂. One thing I have noticed is that bands with this sound and energy feel like their fanbase is the equivalent to a ridiculously large friend group having an inside joke, it's so obvious how talented and feral and elite they are but no one else seems aware of it.

[@The_Music_Source01]

Awesome reaction bro!! I’ve been watching you for about three years now and I never realized you never reacted to the studio version of this song lol. Fun fact, because at this point they were just starting out as the 9, they had just gotten Corey on vocals so this was very much the baby stages of them as a 9-piece. They didn’t have a building big enough to house all their instruments so all the music had to be recorded outside and all the mixing was done completely by Joey and Shawn, this was voted the number #1 best sounding song on the album. Along with Surfacing at #2 for having the heaviest breakdown in the middle of the song, you can’t really hear it unless you have the bass cranked up but it’s there, pretty impressive!!! Keep up the awesome work my brother, love and respect!!! 💯🤘👊
