[@Darren655]

This song was if memory serves written to deal with the feelings they had after Paul Grey passed away. Every death in the video is tied to a fear each member has and this video also Segway's into their new masks. The masks also allow the band members to give themselves to their music.

[@IvyDoomsday]

its both paul dying and joey leaving. (at the time) the 2 red "specters" are paul and joey and the video serves as a metaphor of alessandro and jay taking their lumps and their initiation into the band so they can earn the right to wear those masks for slipknot

[@scul_krushr_games3762]

Yeah Chris Fehn has a fear of crows

[@captainamerica3416]

I think you mean: segue* it's pronounced the same but they mean different things.

[@maggot216]

@@IvyDoomsday the number 2 pops up frequently on TGC if you pay close attention. It was more due to Paul being #2 than loosing Joey. Joey didn't pass away until 2021 while there was constant friction after Paul died where Joey wanted to go straight to the studio but Corey wanted/needed time to decompress. Frankly Jay is one of the best things to happen to Slipknot in the past few years. As his positive vibes are simply infectios

[@IvyDoomsday]

@@maggot216 its both. Joey had left the band long before this came out hence why i said its Paul dying and joey leaving (at the time). He left due to his health issues and that basically prevented him from ever coming back so to the band, he was basically gone.

[@Ian_Ah_Nee]

Ps the masks were from the beginning of the band. In the beginning no one knew their names or what they looked like. They literally went by numbers only. It wasn't until after their 3rd album that they took off their masks. So from '99 to '04 it was all about the music not them. So they just continue with the masks and come up with new masks now and again.

[@dedespedida4515]

Not really, fans know at least Corey from Stone sour was the singer

[@nicp2039]

Funny story, a guy used the fact they use masks to get random 18yo kids I nto an exclusive club in Australia by saying they were coming straight from a gig, so they just showed up as slipknot. Was back in the early days , like late 90s

[@travesty-studios]

​@@dedespedida4515 most slipknot fans did not know about Stone Sour until the band was revived, which happened after Slipknot's first two albums went platinum.

[@luxuriouspotato]

When they very first started they didn't have masks

[@brucewhite9657]

My brother, you nailed it!! 🤘😁🤘

[@animedemon1348]

This song was made about the emotions felt from the passing of bassist and founding member Paul Grey and trying to move on without him. Also the deaths of the member are all symbolic to the members. Can't remember them all, but what I do remember. Sid eating his own fingers, he's a DJ, without them he's worthless, Chris Fehn has an intense fear of birds, Corey as has many front men had been known for having an ego. So he was blowing his old self away. The two people being stabbed were their new drummer and bassist Jey and V-man. That was their introduction into the band.

[@glennwatson8826]

From what I read: the one being attacked by the dog, was about your loved ones turning on you, and the dog in the video was actually his dog...

[@ana20459]

Thought that Corey was his trauma of being sa when he was a child

[@Beardest_Fishing]

The creation of the song is correct but the meaning of the video isn't. The director asked each of the members what way would be their biggest fear of dying. He then recreated each of their biggest fears in the video as a way to give it the most realistic feel as possible to match the meaning of the song.

[@heidibaltom8138]

Im loving Metal Mondays. I love how knowledgeable you are about all music. The funny comments help too. Also from the begining each album has had different masks. So they keep evolving. Each person designs their own mask and basically it is how they feel inside. I think you are pretty much there with the meaning. When they are "killing themselves" they have the old mask on. So they are basically killing that version of them and this is the new one. Also the 2 in the wheelchairs that they are stabbing are meant to be the Bass player who died and the drummer who left.

[@stevenzwiesler8085]

it is? i always thought the stabbing is meant to signify an initiation into the band since this was the first album they were on.

[@samhilton4173]

The drummer didn't leave... He was kicked out after he got too sick to play then died without an apology for the betrayal. Showbiz is a bitch.

[@HMMR03]

@@stevenzwiesler8085 I thought so too

[@STANGm06deGT]

That does not represent Paul and Joey

[@ste8330]

Taylor explained the song's meaning to The Pulse of Radio: "'The Devil In I' is really about the war inside yourself," he said. "Trying not to give into defeatism, trying not to give into negativity, trying not to give up basically. It's a struggle. It's one of the hardest thing you can do, is to give in to that side of yourself."

[@Megan-xt1ni]

I know what he said, but I always thought this song was a little bit about Paul’s wife. She really aimed her grief at the band and blamed them for his death publicly and it seemed unfair and hard to combat directly.

Slipknot combines all the aspects of Rap rock, incredible and real lyricism, unaddressed and often overlooked darkness. This band is a wake up call with just about every song.

[@davidcarter5504]

Damn good break down of the song brother. It was written after Paul passed. This was one of the last songs that they did before they changed into the masks that they are currently wearing. It was very symbolic of letting go and representing the band and each of the members moving on and leaving behind the past.

[@-redacted_by_youtube]

They change their masks almost every album. What are you talking about?

[@jasonforpresident5678]

Fun fact: the reason why Corey (actually all of them) wear 2 different masks is because they change masks every album so they killed themselves in their old masks and they perform the song in the new ones which is symbolic for destroying their “devils” and past (as you said at the end) Also the deaths themselves are very symbolic, Sid (the dj) eats is hands (what he needs for scratching), Corey blows his head off (what he needs for singing) and mick rips his face off (he’s most known for that look and has worn that mask since 2004 and still wears the same style to this day)

[@Dilldough.]

Knowing it was written with Paul in mind after he passed, I always felt it was about turning and facing the demons EVERYBODY deals with after the death of a loved one. Whether it’s smoking, drinking, drugs etc. Or even repairing burned bridges between friends or family. That’s just how I feel. I’d love to hear any other interpretations others might have.

[@healeychantel]

Yesssssssssssss! Yeah, you have to read the meaning behind each 'death' in the video. It's actually super deep. For instance, dude eating his arms and hands, his greatest fear is losing his hands (he's a DJ)...or the guy with the birds, his biggest fear is birds...it's very interesting.

[@Kcdragonman]

Shawn Crahan (the one in the clown mask) said the reason for the masks was to be uncomfortable when preforming, bc they are made to be really tight and uncomfortable. His idea is that they can be much more intense and raw if they are really uncomfortable. Love the reaction brother 🤘

[@Skaterat_day15]

It also started as a way to get feedback when they were playing small "venues". Perform in Masks/jumpsuits change into street clothes afterwards and go sit at the bar and listen to what people thought without knowing they were in the band.

[@davebcf1231]

@@Skaterat_day15 It's funny people keep repeating that. It's not true at all. According to Corey, Clown started wearing masks to band practice before Corey even joined the band. The rest of the members then started to wear masks to practices and it just kinda went from there. It wasn't planned, and never had anything to do with anonymity. Most of the members were already in other bands before Slipknot, and Sid already had a pretty successful career as a DJ. Tons of people already knew who they were before they blew up and got big.

[@ThexCatmanx]

This video has SO MUCH symbolism about about the death of Paul and then also about them replacing not only Paul but their old drummer too.

[@Jucified7062]

I wish I could be in your shoes to experience slipknot for the first time, they’re a really great band

[@Skaterat_day15]

You should check out the behind the scenes/making of for this video to understand the full references for all of the violence. They were killing off their former selves in terms of their previous masks and the two that were rolling around in the chairs and ultimately virulently stabbed were the new drummer and bassist to the band. This was essentially and initiation and introduction to the band/fans. Their identities were still a mystery when the video dropped.

[@PeteyyPorker]

the masks started off as a gimmick, but they eventually ended up being an 'anti-image' statement, going against the grain of standard metal trends. They didn't fit into the norm, and they ran with it. Corey also said that the mask put a face to the person inside him that never had a voice.

Cory said it was about the war inside yourself. The music video was directed by drummer Shawn Crahan and features the destruction of band members in various ways. Chris Fehn, for instance, is pecked to death by ravens, a fate he requested for himself as the percussionist suffers from a fear of birds. Sid Wilson, meanwhile, eats his arm and fingers in the clip, destroying the things most important for the DJ's role in the band.

fun fact: the guy with the shank in his neck @10:05 later becomes their new bassist replacing Paul

[@ericcaylor7667]

so this song was wrote to deal with the passing of their bassist paul, and during this they got a new drummer as well. (notice during the final chorus is only when they actually play with the band, they're "killed" during the breakdown as a metaphor for "you have to die a little inside to understand how slipknot currently is." but each member goes through a metaphor used in describing grief. they lost paul. and everyone at sometime or another has said "i'd rather go through my worst fear then lose them." or "i'd rather be set on fire then feel this way." things of that nature. so they use a mixture of these to describe how they felt dealing with paul's passing. sid: i'd rather eat myself alive to deal with losing paul. mick: is a metaphor for just not feeling right in your own skin without them around, everything feels different now and uncomfortable. thus him peeling himself away down to the bone clown: the extreme things people say "string me up and set me ablaze before hurting me like this." jim and corey had pretty similar ones of "blow me to pieces please god, i dont wanna feel like this anymore." i think corey's was a tad different in that it was a metaphor for him blowing up alot when it happened and being beside himself really. chris: would rather confront his worse fear which is birds, so he had birds set upon him and sat there in terror knowing it was better to confront that phobia than to admit paul is gone. craig: would rather be mauled by rabid dogs and eaten alive if it meant having paul back. grief hit them all like a lead brick kicked off a roof. and it was soothing making this video knowing they were venting this finally.

[@wolfofOdin-qk5lm]

Don't think this would qualify for Metal Mondays, as it's like alternative/punk rock, but you need to do My Chemical Romance.

Queen, Iron Maiden, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, and many others.

[@Zinetha]

I've been a fan of them since I was a teen and it's so nice seeing them get the recognition they deserve. Back in the day they were hugely popular, one of the best selling metal bands of the time, but very few adult metalheads liked them (or admitted liking them). It was kind of a thing back in the day - if a metal band was popular (selling a lot of records, played on the radio, etc), especially among teens, they were called sell-outs and looked down upon by metalheads. I'm so glad that attitude is changing and also that nu metal bands are starting to be recognized for the talent and influence they had/have. Also, this chorus still hits me just hard today as it did when I was 15. The rush of endorphins, or eargasm, or whatever you wanna call it... Usually I get them from very good metal screams, and since I got into rap early this year, a fast flow with some nice internal rhyme schemes will sometimes have the same effect...

Slipknot should come out with a horror movie.

@8:34 soapbox, stones, glasshouses? I thought this was slipknot, not tool

I made the mistake of "assuming" Slipknot were a joke for too long. It's only very recently that I bothered actually listening to any of their music and realised what my assumption caused me to miss out on. I never considered myself to be narrow minded but I just couldn't get past the masks. I owe Slipknot, and myself, an apology.

If you want a, kind of more, religious themed song by Slipknot, check out Unsainted if you haven’t already

Or I'm Not Jesus by Apocalyptica featuring Corey. Song kicks.
