LETS TALK ABOUT THE NEW SLIPKNOT MASKS!

[@passionfruit2159]

Corey’s mask feels like a hybrid of vol 3 and his classic dreads from 99

[@noperception5073]

Definitely, probably his "scariest" masks, so cool for him to blend the 2

[@nicholasmercado6545]

Exactly what I was thinking. It almost looks like there some arms and hands hidden in there but I might be crazy. But I always loved the vol 3 mask

[@shronkykong3161]

It also has the "ears" of ahig and the nose part of iowa

[@SDubU416]

I thought the same thing.

[@Anxxtt]

@@nicholasmercado6545I thought the same lol

[@fluffytoaster427]

Honestly, big respect for Mick staying with pretty much the same design for 20 years. Pretty crazy considering what they've been through since Vol.3

[@johndurrell3499]

If it ain't broke don't fix it

[@photoriousbig]

I’m amazed they ever got Mick to wear a mask to be honest

[@lucasvbf]

@@photoriousbig is there a reason he wouldn't wear it? just curious here, never heard something about it haha

[@Gary_Youtube1]

​@@Jeudaosdrop the "p" in his last name buddy!

[@photoriousbig]

@@lucasvbf No, sorry I just meant he seems so unbothered but the changing or styles and the like that I’m amazed he ever agreed to wear one. He seems to not care about it haha

[@niveke]

Tortilla Man's eyeless mask with those horns is brutal af.

[@zigzag69]

facts bro

[@elijahloveell8809]

I completely agree with you. It’s an insane looking mask

[@DaP84]

He just threw a tortilla over his face

[@BboyTurok1990]

Honestly, he should wear that eye less mask with the horns more often.

[@toyotaecw]

I thought the dread mask was nightmare fuel personally. Like if a raggedy Ann doll was a sexual predator.

[@TheRealMrBeard]

"So Pfaff, it's time to make a new mask.. what would you like?" Pfaff: "I PUT THE ZIPPERS INTO MY EYES!"

[@lewisgrant7622]

This comment just made me laugh a bit

[@coolergabe]

He can’t see California…

[@JesterSpecter]

*Everyone in the band going back to their self-titled roots* Mick, who hasn't changed his mask since 2003:

[@woodsgump]

“I hate AJ” - Sid Wilson, 2024 colorized 😂

[@Very_icky]

Sid unlocked the gold prestige skin! 🤣

[@CalderTF2]

Damn, he has killed a lot of people then

[@Quiltfish]

I don't know why but I can't unsee Eloy's ears sticking out so much behind the mask, it cracks me up.

[@АртемКондратьев-с4я]

It’s his in-ear monitors, mostly. He should wear them over the ears not to look kinda goofy honestly

[@youcefbenlarbi6414]

ye i dont like it at all

[@adelsonpriston]

In-ear

[@NaggNaggLiggLigg]

His mask should be a CHIMPANZOMBEE. The ears and mouth are perfect like that eeeeeeend of disscussion

[@andreberna6286]

i think its the strap going too low, there is one pic that catches him sideways where it looks like the strap of the mask is pressing on his ears

[@viniciusruiz5855]

man this new era of slipknot is getting exciting

[@voodoo_soup]

It's as if Corey buried his OG ghost glow back in 2000 and finally dug it back up, such a sick concept

[@NahBNah]

Wait…wasn’t that an entirely different looking mask as to what this current one looks like?

[@voodoo_soup]

@@NahBNah I mean, only by slight variations, but they're almost identical in terms of the overall design - this one just looks decomposed

[@decepticonmecha]

Ghost Glow > Dummy.

[@jscott8271]

Im not gonna lie i loved the era’s with jay and what he brought to the band musically and with what he brought artistically but there’s something special going on right now with slipknot you can tell with their few performances so far they are rejuvenated and are full of energy again and the creativity is high

[@veenoir1991]

And doing shows on the cheap too

[@Snippyyy]

the absolute last thing i expected in this day and age is a Slipknot renaissance, but it seems thats what we are getting, lets hope whatever music they release in the future proves me right

[@eeyorehaferbock7870]

If they can write something that makes me feel fear again, I will begin to feel happy again.

[@PSYCHOV3N0M]

​@@eeyorehaferbock7870 I want new songs that can creep me out like SOME of IOWA's songs. It doesn't have to be all songs.

[@eeyorehaferbock7870]

@@PSYCHOV3N0M of course it doesn’t have to be all songs. There were just a few on the first two and then one on the third, but they all worked perfectly.

[@angel_of_rust]

dont get your hopes up tbh. dont really expect 50 year olds to write like how they did when they were half their age

[@Snippyyy]

@@angel_of_rust i dont want them to write Iowa or self titled again, in fact i actually want them to lean into the more experimental stuff in vol3, if they just made old albums again it would get boring

[@eindeutscherozelot]

Michael‘s mask is nightmare fuel

[@GhostPirateEntertainment]

I’m not gonna lie you’ve kept me excited and back into metal. When I retired from music a decade ago or so I just couldn’t find a way to still listen to or hear about it. But back in 2020 I found your channel and with my love of mask and horror you drew me in. But over time watching your channel has just helped me be able to listen to and enjoy metal again. So thanks for what you do brother. If you ever need a horror movie expert I’m your guy

[@brandiyount5365]

I get a stupid burst of joy when I see KZbinrs I watch commenting on other channels I wouldn't have guessed they watch. Could have figured you were a metal head, though 😝🤘

[@StandleyParableIs2Good]

So cool to be hanging out with such talented and iconic people!

[@richardwilliams5387]

Corey has said before the dread masks are his least favorite to wear. He's making a real sacrifice for the art here.

[@DutchDukeMan]

because one time a dread slammed him in the eye so bad while headbanging he suffers permanent damage to his eye. at least that's what i've heard

[@kristopherdavis5824]

I think that incident was cos of the beads that were on the first one

[@galenmcdaniel8435]

Not gonna lie, Corey Taylor bringing back the dreadlocks was a pleasant surprise, and I love loved how you used the analogy of "If it's not broken don't fix it" especially for Mick... That style of mask is just "him" you know, he's a big strong and menacing guy and the mask just adds to the menacing part, and I love it!!!

[@ChronicBreakdown]

I should not have laughed at the “my name Jeff” joke but I did 😂

[@emptycan666]

I give Corey's mask a 20/10. Dude the feels I got when I first saw it I literally jumped up and screamed I never expected that reaction 🤣 I was immediately in grade 6 and in love with this sic new band all over again

[@jtmarkham6821]

I love how mick just sticks with the same mask design it really suits him

[@adammay6663]

My thoughts on the Eloy/Jeff masks were that it could be a nod to the original Pale Ones aesthetic with them going back to 99 styles, where the masks were more about blanking out who they were than having personalities and characters of their own. Can’t wait to see how they evolve

[@thecollectorsinged113]

Now knowing that Sid's mask IS GOLD, I wonder how heavy is it.

[@dankirk6452]

I thought the same thing when I heard that.

[@YouCanOnlyImagine]

According to Mick’s wife, a new hybrid mix of the old leather and his current mask was in the works, but apparently it just wasn’t turning out the way Mick wanted it. Bummer because that would have been cool to see.

[@Rshark01br]

I believe Eloy's mask with just a gunshot mark on the head refers to death. He has to die to reborn his Slipknot personality. This is similar to what was done with Vman and Jay in the music video where they are killed by band members and are reborn as Slipknot. It must be something of this concept and this mask will change.

[@daniellenobrega182]

This is a brazilian tradicition.

[@guardianchaos]

the music video you're thinking of is The Devil in I

[@orangesliceverno1906]

New viewer here going down the rabbithole on your channel. I was a diehard fan in high school during the S/T and a "mailbagger" on the biggest Slipknot fansite on the internet in 2000 answering questions about the band, and kind of fell off the map around Vol 3. It's so interesting learning things I never knew before during the early days of the internet. You do an incredible job adding in visuals and context during your rundowns and that is really appreciated from someone who knows a lot about the band but not certain eras. You seem to be insanely good at what you do and it's always great seeing someone so passionate about their craft. Keep doing what you're doing and I'm excited to see the future vids. Also, just since it's always been my favorite mask, I'm so fucking hyped to see Corey bring back the dreaded "dummy" although it's almost like a Dummy 2.0/Iowa hybrid instead of the superior Dummy 1.0. Wish he would've brought back 1.0! Shawn's OG Clown inspired mask is also wild and a joy to see.

[@dillonmacpherson3350]

I actually love the live version of clown's mask, it's so simple and menacing. It reminds me of a killer just having a mask to disguise his identity. I absolutely love Corey's mask, it's like an amalgamation of every era, but also it's entire own thing.

[@NahBNah]

Clowns live mask sucks lol

[@AsherStJohn]

i honestly love the live mask its just so plain and that just makes it more scarier

[@xxstarhooterxx1718]

This is gold, Mr. Bond. All my life I've been in love with its color... its brilliance, its divine heaviness.

[@lukahprimo]

i am really digging the new masks. i love that they did a modern update of the OG members OG masks and the new members masks do really blend well with the rest of the band. i cant wait to see them this summer.

[@TrevorCut611]

Sid's nod to the GOLDEN age of Slipknot with this mask is amazing 😉

[@ruckusthebunny401]

Corey's new mask is honestly unbelievable. The dreads from ST/Iowa, the mouth from Vol 3, the slightly bigger right eye like on the AHIG mask, it's perfect! Love to see some paintjobs on it sometime, like the Grey Chapter, that would be cool I think.

These are some fun masks. Hearing that Sid's mask is gold makes it so much more incredible. With Jeff's mask, when they do Japan, I would love to see the cracks filled in like it was kintsugi, like gold style. I think like you said, there's so much potential with these masks! Looking forward to the next few months.

[@simplytheclown]

I love Sid’s mask, the whole solid gold thing was done perfectly.

[@PoFFizdaMan]

Thanks for this AJ, especially the positive message at the end, back at you brother! I love the idea that all the masks (except Corey's) could start out white, like they're new from a factory and then gradually get tailored up and distressed as their tour cycle continues, becoming more personalized and menacing/disturbing with added paint and color and texture from use, just like you described. 😉 I'll be looking forward to new updates from you on how they look in the months to come. Keep doing what you're doing and thanks for all the love. 😈🤘

[@arcaneurbex]

the masks are really cool! can’t wait to hear new music!

[@AustinBrake98]

The new masks are amazing! Got to them at their first show of the tour this year! The masks look pretty awesome and the band sounds amazing!

[@normanomicon3886]

It'd make sense for Pfaff to wear that mask for 'Eyeless', but he seems to be wearing it for Devil in I and Heretic Anthem, where he has little involvement for the song outside of backup vocals. Kind of reminds me of Chris wearing his mask backwards for Killpop/Vermilion Looks like he busted out the horned variant for Heretic Anthem at Sick New World, which is incredible.

[@yortlebluzzgubbly3871]

Came for the mask review, stayed for the positive affirmations at the end. I'm really happy for you that you're finding your zen, my man. All the best.

Oh god at the end when you said "the weirdos come out to play" I got PTSD flashbacks to "AJ Good come out to playyyyyyayay". That blueberry looking mask haunts my nightmares

[@timmedarnaugustine2076]

Personally for me, the mask that late Joey Jordison wore during their all hope is gone album is the creepiest so far. That kabuki mixed with horror Jesus Christ theme mask plus the torn thingy crown.. Now, imagine at night you see that particular mask floating around in the darkness..

[@KnotSic]

So stoked to see them going back to their roots with the masks and suits. The kinda hybrid ST/Iowa suits are dope - although there's something slightly "cheap" looking about them that's bugging me a little (only if I'm being overly critical). Sid and Clown's new masks are f'n awesome, but I gotta say the eyeless Pfaff with the horns is just sic AF and probably my favorite (today, but ask me again tomorrow). Overall, I can't imagine being any happier. Super excited to see what the stage show is going to be like on this tour cycle and how it might continue the "stripped down" vibes of '99 while delivering on the mass spectacle we've come to expect. Gonna be a great year!

[@MatheusFP104]

Eloy talked about his mask. White for honor of Joey, the lines are for tribal people in Brazil, and the shot is something like I'm dead, critiques and praises don't matter to a dead person

We all been waiting for this haha. I love Corey's mask, so glad he's back to the dreads. And Eloy's mask is sorta reminds me of Joey's white emotionless expressionless mask, maybe he was sorta paying tribute in some way to him, with his own little spin on it.

The modular aspect of Michael Pfaff's mask where he can take the dreads out and put horns is such a great idea. I think Cory had something similar with his pull apart mask in .5. Glad to see someone else trying that idea out.

20:34 absolutely sharing this sentiment. It's so strange when you find out that people you have never even interacted with you in your life dislike you. Not even being indifferent to you, but actually and very actively dislike you. Post about you on Twitter, repost your stuff without giving credit, insult you behind locked accounts. The only difference is that in my case, they never say these things straight to my face. And I'm just sitting there like "the hell did I ever do to you? I'm just a curator of stuff about my and your favorite band" lol

[@aceshigh1984]

Im actually surprised how happy i am with these new masks. Kinda fell out of love with them for a while, but im absolutely stoked for the future of Slipknot.

[@Railfan93]

I've been down since Iowa, I got the self-titled album in the fall of 2001, and was all in since. As with most fans, I prefer certain versions of their masks over others; but a picture of all of them outside somewhere that was just posted a couple days ago with Corey in the front gave me a vibe I don't think I've ever felt. I don't know if it's the way the outside light is on them, but I swear to god Corey's new mask with the long dreads actually gave me the creeps; but obviously I'm happy about it, lol! My god, it looks as if the very first mask he had when they made their debut on Ozzfest '99 went through decomposition, burned, etc.! Other photos of him and the band at shows going on right now are great to see; but that particular photo just really has an eerie and excellent vibe to it. To hell with the haters. I can't wait to see them this summer!

[@antoniogamboa8550]

What’s good AJ!? I not the video was about the mask ,but that did attire inside the jumpsuit ,was something magnificent! Eloy mas has potential to evolve, I hope also Vman mask turn a twist soon and devolve it into something reminiscent of Paul or his first mask combine with the new one. Let us enjoy this slipknot renaissance! It is true slipknot has change ,but doesn’t everyone one? Evolving is part of life and not even us are the same human we were 2 years ago, I just embrace everything and indeed melancholy hits us when we remember the original 9,but still ,in grateful that slipknot it’s still doing what they do best.
