IOWA NEXT!?

[@voidwraithprime8521]

Yes

[@paladinjohn266]

Guys IOWA will be the most heavy sh1t that you'll hear in your lives...

[@voidwraithprime8521]

"People = Shit" is my fav from these guys, and that's on Iowa. Apart from that, if you want to check out a very different but still awesome side to Slipknot's singer, "From Can To Can't" with Dave Grohl and others is a great one off song.

fun fact about "eyeless", There was a homeless guy who was saying on repeat "you can't see california without marlon brando's eyes" while the lead singer was homeless & they decided to include it into a song

[@dustinsamson4879]

Was coming her to say this very same thing

[@MiigsMusic]

Oooh never read the lyrics always understood "you can't see california with des moines up inside" always thought it was a weird line😂 Them coming from there though I thought it meant you can't see your way to stardom when you have a small town mentality😂 And now I think about it, the core meaning of it could still apply, like you need the "I can make it" perspective to succeed and hard work of course and some luck😁

[@jamescaldow5608]

quick tip, Coreys dreads were originally real he cut them off and attached them to the mask.

[@Hipno702]

Yep in this album cycle i think he used to individually feed them through the holes in the mask. Then he cut them off and glued them sometime before Iowa

[@TheMrCaden101]

This is so cool to see yall diving into heavier music!

[@bradsimpson9396]

Iowa is their best record IMO. It’s darker, heavier, and according to Corey Taylor, was born out of a period of extreme tension within the band

[@thedappermagician6905]

Yeah, it's immaculate. Though I would say that Vol.3 Subliminal Verses can vie for that spot. I think it's fair that they can be interchangeable depending on mood/season and whatnot

[@mjax7178]

PLEASE KEEP THE YOUNG MAN IN THE VIDEOS HE MADE THIS VIDEO FOR ME

[@daedalus5070]

It gave the video a sort of MKULTRA vibe that I enjoyed

[@nathanielhorrigan2181]

Little man is awesome. Smart kid. Articulate and open minded. He seems really mature for his age. You guys should definitely have him back. I love this channel, you guys are really cool. I got this album back in 99 when it came out. I was brand new in the military and I slept with music on since I was a young teenager. I would fall asleep with pantera blasting at full volume and my parents couldn’t understand how I would sleep soundly. They were cool though and would just let me do my thing. So when I was brand new at my first base after training I would sleep in my dorm room with MTV2 on and I remember being half asleep and the wait and bleed video was on so I sat up and waited until the video was over so I could see who the band was because I loved their sound. The next day I drove to the mall to grab the CD and I’ve been a fan ever since. I’ve seen them live front row like 10 times. Just saw them this past August in Massachusetts and it was this entire album pretty much.

[@SpiderGang56]

When Slipknot plays Surfacing live, they call it the maggots (slipknot fans) national anthem. They also ask the crowd to stick their middle fingers in the air

[@caidenrylanc6679]

The puking that you’re wondering about was originally between Scissors and Eeyore. It was a clip of the initiation with all of them watching the video and you can clearly hear Chris vomit and it splashing onto the floor. My favorite exchange from that clip is when someone says “Just think of it as pudding.” And someone else says “Don’t say that, man. I like pudding.”😂😂 By the way, Corey worked the desk at an adult video store and that’s how they got the tape for the initiation.

[@arthur.7181]

Is it on youtube?

[@Le-Monade]

They also photoshopped Chris (the long nose guy) into the cover, being the actual photo was taken in 1998 before Chris joined the band

[@MUD11I]

Some extra info about the members, There’s 2 guitarists, Mick Thompson is the lead guitar you hear in your right ear while Jim root in your left. They switch ears in some albums. Welcome to slipknot.

[@MUD11I]

Btw, my father saw them live. My fav stories of his are when the members set themselves on fire, one of them jumped into the crowd from 50ft then broke his legs and the drummer playing the drums upside down

[@Az_Eaz]

I saw Slipknot live when I was 15. Caught one of Clown's drum sticks in the mosh pit. 🤘

[@vegasviking86]

Correction for Sam... Corey's dreads in that mask were real at first. He then made the decision to cut them off and make them part of the mask.

[@itsflippnkonkr]

I literally started hyperventilating when yall started listening to sic (out of excitement) it makes me feel like I’m listening to it for the firet time again.

[@obenohnebohne]

This is so nostalgic and exciting to see the younger generation experience this kind of music. thanks for sharing your thoughts and reaction to it.

[@dasninjastix]

Before they broke out on radio, I got to see them at a Halloween show at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC in '99. That was brutal, fun, but brutal. I got hit with f'king trash can thrown from the balcony. But they were AWESOME live, absolute technicians, Joey was incredible in his prime, easily one of the best live drummers I ever saw perform. Corey nailed every song. They were really special during that period, I saw ton of Nu-metal era acts and they were absolutely at the top of giving you your money's worth. I would have recommended finding the original cut of this album with 'Purity', definitely recommend listening to that song on your own, it's one their best. You'll absolutely love Iowa, after that their discography gets a little shaky imo.

[@AbsinthedeLaRochefoucauld]

Since you talked about it, yes, the vocalist did have some voice damage doing these albums, specially the second one, Iowa, there's crazy stories of how that album's recording process went. I'm looking forward to your reaction to Iowa!

[@tommoconstantly]

That kid in the middle is gonna be a metalhead now, he just has no idea yet, all joking aside, great reaction, nice to see younger people listening to some good Nu Metal

[@lazlow15]

You guys should check out Joey Jordison (Slipknot's original drummer) drum cam videos from their 2002 London gig, specifically three songs: People Equal Shit, Disasterpiece and The Heretic Anthem

[@Gutter57]

I'll never forget the day I was driving to the local game store to play some MTG, saw two of my boys walking back from the mall so I pulled over to give 'em a ride. My buddy Dave tells me he grabbed some new fire that just dropped that week and tossed this album to me to put in...I never made it to the game store, but I did go pick up my own copy of the album after I dropped them off.

[@Shaunfitzy96]

Don’t know about a lot of other fans but I started listening to Slipknot training in the gym, as the weights got heavier the music got heavier … now I could listen to them while falling asleep 😂

[@davidhenchel8051]

I seen slipknot at ozzfest when they first came out in 99.. they played the 2nd stage and i was right in front.. they took the world by storm from that tour and i went on to see them live 10 times since. They put on a hella show, just pure insanity and chaos the whole time.. look up some of their older live videos and u will see how nuts these guys were on stage and how they gst the crowds involved.. people werent ready for this back in 99 and when they arrived onto the scene, it was a game changer. I was 13 when that first album came out, and was hooked ever since. 38 now and still my favorite band to this day.. Iowa is badass too..super heavy.. if u liked this one u will love that one. I got my nose broken in a mosh pit when they did disasterpiece live. What a time to be alive and be able to witness all that madness back in the day. Btw Corey Taylor the lead singer really has a good voice, he is in a 2nd band called stone sour which is still hard rock but not as hard as slipknot.. u get to hear more singing* with that band if u ever wanna check them out just wanted to throw that out there to ya guys in case ya didn't know.

Man I can't wait until you get to experience the drums of Thomas Haake. Might be a bit too heavy for you at the moment though, but you'll hopefully get there!

Im just giggling watching this poor boys brain getting rattled. I mean, what a first for him. He handled it great. The first few Slipknot albums were so groundbreaking to a bunch of angry teens. Korn and Slipknot were my introduction to the metal world and even though i dont really listen to them like thst anymore, its definitely nice to hear old songs like these. Ahh, youth. Enjoy it boys. Cheers!

I cannot wait to see what else is in the metal marathon. Metal is such a diverse genre, and i cant imagine anyone getting a real feel for it with just 5 albums.

Purity gets skipped often due to copyrights and the inclusion of Me Inside. Shame, it's one of the best tracks imo.

This album came out just before I turned 14 and my friend went to buy the CD and headed to the house where he knew there was a CD player closest to the record shop, which happened to be my house. Hearing this album changed the trajectory of my life for sure. Without this album I'd have never picked up guitar and wouldn't be working as a sound engineer for live music right now.

[@PackPack702]

I always recommend people to experience a metal show live. Its definitely an experience. An outdoor festival is perfect. You get a variety of metal styles, and have the ability to stay back and ease yourself into it. Also, Slipknot is the perfect band to see. They always put on a great show, and Corey is masterful at having control of the crowd in the palm of his hand. 🤘🤘

[@sevyreyna3623]

Just cool to see him listen to sounds that he may not listen to much and that he is getting into it. You literally see him catch the riff! Cool to see.

[@GeminiWoods]

I saw Slipknot right after they released Iowa in a place called the Norva in Norfolk Virginia. 9 guys on a pretty small stage. It was one of the most INSANE shows I've ever seen. 20+ years later I still remember the crazy mosh pits and the wall of death. Man... I miss those days.

Could we bring it back to old-school Heavy Metal, to a band most notorious for their vulgar lyrics and their shock-rock themed image.

If I might add a recommendation to the pile, my favorite album release in recent years, and quite the wild ride: Kim Dracula's inaugural album "A Gradual Decline in Morale." That might really test the limits on how open minded you all are, but to me it's an S-tier album. A must listen.
