My Reaction to Frail Limb Nursery, Purity and Get This from Slipknot

[@YONATOOTH]

Purity is truely a gem.

[@suryaananda108]

It really is.

[@obenohnebohne]

Oh my god, Purity gives me chills everytime I listen to this song. It is in my top 5 of Slipknot songs. The cleans in this are angel-like. «You all stare but you’ll never see, there’s something inside me»

[@syntezjaofficial4240]

I think Purity is the best song from Self-Titled, Sid's turntables and Corey's vocals are amazing.

[@metalfury5153]

Purity is my favorite slipknot song and favorite song ever. I'm so happy you listened to these extras.

[@kevvyd2128]

The drums on the verses of purity are just insane

[@mollyesanborn]

Yeah, the percussion is crazy good! I love all of the energy that it brings.

[@gibbles12]

They’re so fun to play too!

[@R1P_playz]

Anyone who has a Slipknot cd Is a legend

[@dastardlygonzo]

It's my opinion that the most important component to a successful metal band is a great drummer. RIP Joey Jordison.

[@deadspeak1126]

"Me inside" is another track with a huge soaring chorus. Also, I believe it was the first song recorded with Corey.

[@_the_mandible_]

i thought that was spit it out

[@onyx_prty]

Fun fact: Corey actually improvised the Purity part, 3:06

[@lillerilalleritd9173]

Is there gonna be reaction to demo songs? There's very good song called "snap" and the other two songs "interloper" and "despise" are demos for purity and diluted.

[@mollyesanborn]

Maybe, I'll have to keep those tracks in mind too!

[@weeptheblood]

@@mollyesanborn He's referring to the 1997 Roadrunner Demo, which included demos such as Spit it Out, Wait and Bleed, Snap, Interloper, and Despise.

[@Heartsii_]

@@mollyesanborn Since you seem interested in looking into the demos, I'll spill you in on the details (since it is rather complex). Before Corey Taylor, they had a different singer who went by Anders Colsefni. With him, they released a studio album (now considered a demo) called "Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat" in 1996. Inbetween 1995 and 1997, they also recorded a slew of "demo" songs that were never put onto any studio album. I will link two youtube videos, the first will be the MFKR album and the second will be a fan-made album that mixes the unused demo songs together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/lWimc2qNp7x7j7s kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6LXqGB4j8yXp5o As a side note, Corey and Slipknot re-used a lot of material from MFKR and the demos into Self Titled and their second album Iowa, so you might want to listen to Iowa before listening to these.

[@mfkr1fandemos442]

@@mollyesanborn they made an album before self titled, its not on spotify to my knowledge and its called Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. (MFKR)

[@Wowwowpow13]

@@weeptheblood snap, interloper, and despise are on the 10th anniversary edition of Self titled. Despise is one of my favorites actually lol

[@simonk337]

So pleased you went back for this. I have the original CD upstairs from 99. It makes me sad that there are people who don't know these songs exist 😑

[@Iliketurtles-l3q]

Slipknot. One of the best bands I have ever heard. The anger, frustration and depression is just on another level. Their intensity and sound is second to none.

[@pho3nixinflight]

Purity is the best song on the album. I remember hearing about the song switch and then buying it off eBay back in 2000 when I was in 8th grade.

[@EmeraldZion]

Purity is without a doubt my favourite knot song. The record scratches and the chorus I absolutely love!

[@vxrdrummer]

I'm so glad you did this as lots of us mentioned this in the comments. It's amazing that you listen to us!

[@mollyesanborn]

Of course! I love the back and forth with you guys on suggestions, you have yet to disappoint with the recommendations and Purity was no exception.

[@thewelshbeersnob2783]

It would be crazy after seeing you do the ‘real’ slipknot albums to go right back to the beginning and do 1996/1997’s MFKR, their self released album of only 1000 copies, with a whole bunch of different members, including Anders on vocals and not Corey. Also there are early versions of songs you’ve heard on later albums. Cheers! Love your videos.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

The track 'Get This' wasn't on the original release of the album, but the digipak release which contained 4 bonus tracks... 'Me Inside', 'Get This', 'Interloper' (demo of 'Diluted'), and 'Despise' (demo of 'Purity'). And yeah the tracks 'Tattered & Torn', 'Frail Limb Nursery', and 'Purity' all connect and are almost like a mini 3-song experience in their own right.

[@20irishman]

Purity is my favorite Slipknot song ever. The whole album is like a horror movie

[@Retro_Hero_Music]

Now, in the System of a Down self-titled, you should listen to the two songs that were in it (at least in the Japanese version.) Marmalade, and Storaged. They are not on Spotify because one is region locked, and another one is not on Spotify at all. So check it out on KZbin.

[@mollyesanborn]

I'll have to check those out too, thanks for letting me know!

[@dankoz5975]

Well it would be good to check out them with Johnyy (Toxicity bonus track) and The Metro, Snowblind and Shame (covers guys did 99-00 years between albums)

[@Heartsii_]

@@mollyesanborn I replied to another comment of yours about the Slipknot demos/missed songs, and I can do the same for SOAD's. First, SOAD had a handful of songs that were not put onto America's Self-Titled release, and also a couple that didn't make it onto Toxicity or Steal This Album. Second, SOAD had a couple of cover songs that are also pretty good, but really don't feel like SOAD. Thirdly, Serj did a few collaborative works, and I will warn that two of these collaborations make profound use of the n-word: "Shame", and "Will They Die For You". I will link a youtube video to a fan-made album that mixes all of these songs together. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHzbdomCjcinmaM As a side note, this single thing should cover every other comment asking for a specific demo request, like Johnny or Marmalade.

[@josephnajda9605]

I was hoping you'd do a reaction to these tracks. Great job as always. The sheer intensity of Get This never ceases to amaze me. I see that you're wearing red again to match the album cover!!!! ;)

[@wickedPrints3256]

So glad you reacted to these gems! Very nice.

[@keirancockerill1349]

Glad you ended up doing these tbh I love purity one of my favourites by them!

[@weeptheblood]

Another Slipknot video? So stoked! I absolutely love your videos! 🔥🤘

[@dasninjastix]

Slipknot was definitely my favorite nu-metal act of the era, I must have seen them live 10 or 11 times but unfortunately their music and writing hasn't held up for me as I've gotten older. Purity is one of the exceptions though. It's just very well written and comes across as less angsty, less angry, haunting, somber, and more emotionally charged than their more surface-level material. Gently from Iowa falls into the same sort of category for me as Purity. Doesn't sound or play like a song written for the pit and comes out of their early work when they had two frontmen if I'm not mistaken. Glad you enjoyed the songs, I'd guess you'd like Iowa, I think that's their best foot forward in terms of what they were able to accomplish as both a band with a gimmick and serious musicians. Got kind of stale thereafter.

[@papercrane747]

Gently was being conceptualized far before Slipknot was formed, or at least thats what I heard. Apparently, Shawn Crahan had the basis for that song in his head when he was in high school. A percussion-only version is on youtube, from when the band was playing in Paul Gray's basement. Look up Slipknot basement sessions and you'll find it.

[@twelvemonkeys8786]

You are the best. No one ever reacts to these babies... Its the raw root of Slipknot.. Get this, my fav.. Good job once again...

[@mollyesanborn]

It's too bad so many have missed out on these tracks, they're awesome!

[@twelvemonkeys8786]

@@mollyesanborn Totally agree. Looking forward to Sepultura, Roots..

[@JQAlchemist]

You should consider doing a video where you listen to removed, previously unreleased, and demo tracks from bands you've heard before. I always love taking a deeper dive outside of the main discography of my favorite bands.

[@mollyesanborn]

That's a cool idea, I'll definitely consider that!

[@remor__]

There’s a band called Psychostick that did a Thanksgiving themed cover of “Get This or Die” called “Give Thanks or Die”, I highly recommend it

[@gabewell]

Love your reactions. Thanks for doing these as well, they are fan favorites and really should always acccompany the album.

[@dondominicoseliga8723]

When I listened to this song for the first time it blew my mind away right off the bat.

Would of love to see a reaction to the live version of purity Love how Corey ends the song with "have you ever seen god" Repeating it Over and over again From what I read it's about a girl who gets buried alive by a man Corey read that story Turns out it was just fiction but he still l Wanted to write the song about it ...and I believe Get this Is about how bands didn't want to tour with slipknot when they first started. A way to stick to them I think lol Either way awesome video as always Cheers 🤘

[@GUNUFofficial]

Whang has a good video on why frail limb nursery and purity where taken off.

[@TheZombiedna]

The great thing about physical media is the hidden tracks. Korn had them on the first couple albums, not necessarily songs but outtakes. Theres a really funny conversation/arguement between a man and his wife about car parts on one of the korn albums...(edit i just watched your korn videos lol)

Sweet, glad you overall had a good time with the record!!! Looking forward to seeing you react to Iowa. Lots of Slipknot fans consider it their best album, but in reality, they’re all so different that the “best” is so subjective. But hey, love the content! Cheers!

Yeah, I am really excited to hear Iowa!

[@TheRealEricMitchell]

This whole album is fucking amazing!! Purity is probably one of my favorite songs by slipknot along with Prosthetics

[@edluchuk4717]

In some angles it looks like you're already wearing your Slipknot jumpsuit 😏😅💖✨

[@vxrdrummer]

I have both original versions of this record (normal release and digipak...and then all of the other versions of course and the picture disc record) with these tracks on it. Its still weird to listen to the version without Frail Limb Nursery. Purity is absolutley chilling. It is the only track on the record that Jim Root actually played on as well. The Despise demo for it is stunning and mega groovey. The drumming in the verse part is so crazy. It took me a while to learn to do it that's for sure! Joey was a genius. Get This is just sic.

[@lambknot]

They sure do have a bunch of bonus tracks off each album.

Purity was such an awesome song. I had the original CD before Purity got banned. They used to play it every at single concert. Definitely the best track on the first album.

I guess on the UK release we didn't have Frail Limb Nursery, first time hearing that myself. The others I know though from my 1999 copy I still have, Get this always a fun track almost too fast to headbang too, almost

Molly! You gotta check out An Autumn for Crippled Children - Try to Not Destroy Everything You Love. It’s such a unique album I dunno what to compare it to. The title track is like a rollercoaster ride, gives me goosebumps and a dopamine dump. I think you’d like it, you seem to appreciate this kinda music more than most. Rock on dude 🤘🫥🤘

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for the recommendation Mark, I'll make sure that one is on my list! :)

[@themetalpig7613]

Purity was definitely worth a listen. The other track was a bonus track on the original deluxe edition release and it definitely stands out as a bonus track, doesn't fit the feel of the album, and possibly why it wasn't inserted up the track list on the reissue. I recall Frail & Purity were removed because of a lawsuit, the lyrics were based on a real life event and the family took exception. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. But after that happened, the original releases were considered very rare for a long time and it wouldn't be odd to see the cds going for $100 in second hand record stores. I bought the original standard cd, then quickly returned it for the deluxe version...then it got recalled and I kinda wish I'd kept the standard edition and bought the deluxe outright....cool little collectors items. This era of music was rife with deluxe editions with bonus tracks, regional bonus tracks, or DVDs with 'the making of' docos in the studio etc...was cool but also a bit of a pain if you wanted to hear everything a band released.

[@mollyesanborn]

Thanks for the explanation! It's too bad Frail Limb Nursery/Purity got pulled on the re-issue because they're phenomenal, they really add something to the album.

[@SuperClarky666]

True with get this but it was done live a lot of times especially on full tours.

[@agentsquish]

Incorrect. The sample was from a website about a fake murder. They didn't clear the sample and had to remove it from the official release.

[@timalvarez558]

The story of purity was actually a work of fiction. There was a website created to make the story look real and Corey thought it was real when he wrote the song. Since the story was a work of fiction they could claim copyright infringement. If it was a true story it would have been fair game. Here is a break down of what happened. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qKnHnKFni7CsrJo

[@piteu3411]

The story that they based their lyrics on was proven to be fake years later, that's why they published the song again, you can see that in a video of a KZbinr called "Wang!"

[@agentsquish]

Been loving these reacts of yours. Even tho, you're not really breaking down the tracks technically, I can see you just... GET IT. and i'm here for it. If I could make a suggestion, of one you haven't done yet but definitely need to.. RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE - self- titled

Purity is the jam. The fact it got taken off the re-release sucked so bad but they got the rights back and it was such good news at the time, it was like the best sequence on the album into Liberate right after it. They released a third version of the album when it came back, a digipack. It broke the flow on the album when it got removed.

[@AntonPayne-q4f]

Molly there is also a hidden track on slipknot’s self titled called mudslide which when the song scissors ends there is a few minutes of silence until this track comes up and it’s an audio of basically the band making a band member chris fehn who is the one with the long Pinocchio looking nose mask, watch a scat porn and at first when they were watching they told him just pretend it’s pudding but then as the video goes along he couldn’t take it and starts vomiting and they start laughing at him.

[@DannyDeee]

Check out Fear Factory's "Demanufacture" and "Obsolete". Obsolete's opener "Shock" is pretty similair to Purity, and Demanufacture's title-track reminds me of Surfacing.

After the album's release, the band had to remove two tracks after allegations of copyright infringement. "Purity" and "Frail Limb Nursery" were inspired by a story, published online, about a girl named Purity Knight, who was kidnapped and buried alive.

[@myndlink]

I would love to see you review "Midian" by Cradle of Filth. I love that album and you haven't reviewed any British Black Metal yet. They are very gothic and theatrical. I think you'll like them. It's as if a coven of vampires decided to form a metal band.

[@kingkosher6231]

I love the comparison between Purity and Despise since they're almost the same song just performed differently. Slipknot's Self-Titled is a very strange LP because there's sooooo many different versions of it due to the "purity creepypasta" author who accused Slipknot of using his art but it's not true because they wrote the song before the story was published when it was called Despise on their demo. You still need to listen to Despise and Snap from the Demo because the demo they came on was packaged with the Digipack and is on the 10th anniversary of the LP.

[@JackDeadBoy]

Slipknot's Self-titled album represents a lot of insanity. And this is definitely my favorite album of theirs. Iowa is my second favorite, this one represents a lot of hate. But to be honest, I love all the Slipknot albums, plus this is my favorite band.

[@greentankengine]

There is still one more song from this album that you missed, it is called mudslide, which is a hidden track after scissors and before eeyore. If you react to that song, I recommend looking up what the audio is from after you’ve finished listening to it. :)

[@serialeliam11]

Some dudes who were making a real life arg kinda like creating their own mystery pretending it was real tried to copyright slipknot because they sampled an audio file hence Frail Limb Nursery and the name of their main character a girl named Purity. The band thought the story was real so they didnt see the problem sampling that stuff.Thats why Frail Limb Nursery/Purity was separated from the album.. But Slipknot won at the end which is awesome cuz I love those two songs.

[@SolarDNA]

Another great band I'd suggest (and one I wish was still around) is Primer 55. You might give their album "(the) New Release" a go if you haven't already. They were kind of unique and underrated in the sea of nu metal bands in my opinion.

"Purity" is where it's at. Easily one of my favorites from Slipknot. Similar to the commenter who mentioned Cradle of Filth, I'd also recommend Carach Angren's "Franckensteina Strataemontanus," especially if you're into classic movies and literature. It's basically the folklore surrounding the Frankenstein story told through pseudo-black metal. Think you might dig it if you're into that kind of thing.

[@mollyesanborn]

Ooh, sounds interesting! I'll be sure to put that album on my list :)
