if i can suggest one Darkest Hour - DEMON(S)

[@darindias2282]

Have you done any slayer

[@darindias2282]

​@@raojr46 killer song good recommendation

[@m.ericwatson968]

Early Slipknot the best, when they were still 9 angry kids trying like hell just to get out of Iowa, and they were pretty pissed off about it; "Wait and Bleed" is a classic

[@lesterparker1594]

Don’t know if he’s ready for “Iowa” bro haha. I was 15 when that album released and it still sticks with me today. Once every few months I go back to it

[@theplaguepadart3743]

@@lesterparker1594 Iowa man will always be my #1 album no matter what

[@mattyt5605]

Three songs I would strongly recommend from Slipknot, from 3 drastically different points in their creative process, are "Wait and Bleed", "Duality", and "Snuff". And if you do "Snuff" do yourself the service of watching the official music video, they turned it into a short film featuring Malcolm McDowell.

[@danilomladenovic9314]

I recommend live version from 2008 or 2009 I can't remember

[@OptOutofGunControl]

I'd add "Spit It Out" and "Eyeless" to that list.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Awesome vocals but visually I can’t do it but they are super talented. I love lead singer Corey Taylor singing the acoustic live version of Snuff.

[@AndrewSmoot]

I'd recommend the live performance of Snuff for an emotional rollercoaster, but, the music video for the clean vocals.

[@psych0CS2]

Gotta be the album version of Wait and Bleed though. Its much better imo

[@cjjoe2385]

Slipknot - Solway Firth. One of their best 🔥

[@Levi-ou2zm]

Duality and Before I forget are my favorite two from them and I think you would enjoy those even more.

[@angelabordack]

R.I.P. Paul & Joey

[@dizimalmtg455]

😓

[@chrisv8898]

Gotta say man. Ur reactions seemed very genuine. As a long time fan of slipknot, I've seen then live, I've followed their story from start to present...and their whole goal is to play music that someone....anyone...everyone can enjoy. To express themselves in an artistic way that can be understood by the listener. Bravo man. I endured and enjoyed. They would most definitely like this reaction video. Pls....MORE

[@danw2276]

ABSOLUTELY AWESOME! Saw them live and they didn't disappoint and was fire

[@cadenceryan66]

I love this guy!! I found him last year when at school reacting to Billie eilish who I’m a huge fan of. I also am I huge slipknot Fan and seeing him make another slipknot video makes me so happy!! I love how he can listen to any kind of music and not shame the artist or it’s fans and is always respectful!

[@karikaroable]

I got into this band with the song Vermillion 🖤 and still not over this band after so many years

[@crichards037]

25 years and still going strong. A legendary band for sure!

[@AmethystCass]

The official Snuff video is a work of art and showcases Corey's vocal talent so well. They rarely perform that song live though they did during the tour in '22 and it was so emotional.

[@branthemuffin5872]

It was my first time seeing Slipknot live last year and I was shocked they played Snuff. It was literally amazing. Everyone in that crowd got into their feels. The pit grinded to a halt for one song so everyone could take out their lighters or phone flashlights. It’s something I’ll probably never forget

[@laurabuer4714]

They performed it at Aftershock last October. Man, I could have watched them for another hour that night...

[@jenniferlynne3314]

He has a 6 octave range which is almost unheard of.

[@coolkid6071]

Slipknot easily is one of the best groups of all time, hope you get more into their catalog and if you do I highly recommend looking up the meaning or background for songs as it adds a huge layer to their music.

[@WorldOfPain666]

Love slipknot, seen them live 6 times. I would highly recommend Nero Forte, Wait and Bleed, Vermilion prt 2, Solway Firth, Unsainted, and Phychosocial. Glad you liked it man 👍

[@laurabuer4714]

Excellent song! Seeing them at Aftershock back in October was definitely a bucket list item. What a performance! Corey Taylor is in my top three favorite artists, ever. So versatile. Love, love, love Slipknot.

[@hplovecraftscat2255]

Sulfur is one of their best songs. Not sure why ppl don’t listen to that one.

[@ysinvangulik1004]

Because they disagree.

[@timp.7795]

I agree. Its hard to say what my favorite song would be, but that one is definitely one of my top top favorites.

[@mgnparrish]

Sulfur is amazing

[@lastborn11]

It took the journey thru Stone Sour for me to find appreciation for Slipknot ... sometimes the book cover masks the musical talent

[@hakankinnunen3270]

Stone sour är pojkband jämfört med slipknot. Än så länge har jag inte hittat något som ens kommer i närheten av slipnot. Jag måste leta mer. Det måste finnas något.

[@chaplinj6512]

Cory is the best metal vocalist imo. You should check out Purity live 2001 London. Very intense performance. Thanks for reviewing this tune.

[@localhoast2009]

Before I forget and psychosocial are two songs that are perfect for your Truck! Thank you POLO

[@MitigateOurRuin]

Excellent song!!!

[@karlonesterhuizen3504]

Love this song

[@nicquinn7291]

Look up Custer live. Or duality Or psychosocial Or snuff.

[@nammiiproctor1283]

You want to see some bad ass videos with some great production value and some the best damn music out there? One word… BEHEMOTH! All hail Behemoth!

[@GojiraShwe]

Your voice is calming..

[@shadymaint1]

The singer Cory Taylor is also the singer for Stonesour. Completely different sound. If your doing Slipknot I recommend the video for Duality.

[@scottst1112]

Orphan is one of their more heavy and in your face songs musically and lyrically. Not one that gets many reactions, but the reactors all seem to enjoy as much as I do. Jay Weinberg goes mental on the drums in that underrated banger.

[@jamesferguson6060]

My favorite song

[@SoIThinkImAGamer]

This is hard Slipknot has so many good songs!! You definitely need to check out Snuff, Vermillion, Sulfur, Left Behind, Duality, Psychosocial, Wait and Bleed, People = 💩, Unsainted, and Dead memories to just name a few!

[@leeb907]

Vermillion, Spit it out, and Nero Forte would give you an excellent representation of this bands range

[@JohnsonsDoghouse]

Nero Forte rocks

[@JohnsonsDoghouse]

Polo, I’m happy to see that your sharing this stuff. My first concert I went to at age 16, (white skater kid) was NWA in 88. I’ve got to place it in the top 3 of bands, group I’ve went to see live. I’d say to check out Primus, even some of Corey Taylor’s other bands he’s singing in.

[@OptOutofGunControl]

Ever heard of Mushroomhead? "Out of my Mind" is awesome. Edit: also check out "We are the Truth". I personally like the versions with Jackie LaPonza, but any version is good.

[@INDRIDCOLD83]

I really tried to get into Mushroomhead, I feel the reason they aren't as huge as slipknot was solely on the singer(s). The band itself was made up of great musicians, the singers throughout their lineup were just nails on a chalkboard for me. Their vocals ruined the band's overall sound in my opinion. I realize they are renowned but no where on the scale of Slipknot's notoriety.

[@OptOutofGunControl]

@@INDRIDCOLD83 yeah, I only like a handful of songs. Wasn't a huge fan of the main guy's voice, or the more rap-like vocals.

[@deminybs]

seen them with motionless in white, bullet for my valentine , & slipknot a few years ago, great show

[@shadymaint1]

Before I Forget has to be my favorite Slipknot song. They are all amazing but there's personal reasons for loving the one.

[@jaydubya6345]

This song is an awesome one.💯

[@chrisolson5279]

Jim root had me 💀 in the background 😂

[@KrisThroughGlass]

Corey Taylor is one of my 3 favorite artists, so I'll always be here for a reaction to Slipknot, Stone Sour or Corey solo. Greetings from Germany

[@burly20261]

Amazing live one of the best shows I have seen all 3 times

[@janellebloomberg35]

Please check out Snuff - audio version first, then the music video by Slipknot. It really shows how beautiful Corey's voice is. I really love the music video, just want you to hear the song all the way through first. The music video breaks from the song for a bit, due to the heartbreaking story being told.

[@mattyt5605]

Yes to Snuff, no to only limiting yourself to the audio version. Clown turned the music video into a fantastic short film. It would be a disservice not to watch it.

[@janellebloomberg35]

​@@mattyt5605 definitely both, I love music video too.. just wanted him to hear the audio first, so he can hear the song all the way through, no stops.

[@msboeckman]

Killer tune! Check out left behind or before I forget!

[@user-ur1fs7jr1v]

I love your open mindedness

[@charlespeterson7502]

Slipknot is a must see concert.

[@ethosfm1262]

Oh shit! This is one of my go to Slipknot tracks!!!

[@jonathangauthier3549]

I'm a big fan of "Wait and Bleed" (it's a hit single, so it's easy to find HQ vids), as well as "Vermillion part 2". It showcases Cory's amazing voice even more. In fact, maybe do part 1, then part 2 as it feels like the obvious course of action. I'm not sure if the Vermillions are about a break up or an unattainable idyllic version of a woman he wishes for, but in either case, it hits me right in the feels every time. Enjoy, and welcome to the world of metal music! Next up, Deep Purple, Edgar Winter, and Jethro Tull (all trippy rockers from the hippy era, like Pink Floyd)

[@skb2108]

This one and Before I Forget are my favorite two from them.

[@skb2108]

And Psychosocial

[@christina_ellis]

This was super powerful when I had first seen it, it hasnt lessened at all for me. This album was the first album to not have paul and Joey with them anymore. It broke my heart , RIP to them, this album was so emotional and helped me move on and digest a death of my closest childhood friend at the same time when it came out. I felt they had to kill their old selves, albeit in their own personal graphic carnage inducing selves, in order for them to move on from that point. New masks, new people moving on from the anguish and grief of what they all experienced. It is so crazy to watch, but from how I perceive it, it really makes me choke back tears thinking about that time. If you ever see this, could I suggest the song "goodbye" from these guys? It's from the grey chapter, same album the Devil in I is from, it's a song that I believe you could appreciate. Sending many many thank yous from Sacramento california 🖤💜🖤💜

[@UltimateGamerCC]

well tbf they didnt want to have to let Joey go, but when they decided to stop being so self-destructive, Joey refused to stop. little did any of us know that we were destined to lose him soon as well, but not from his inhibitions.

[@christina_ellis]

@@UltimateGamerCC that is very fair and you are absolutely correct fellow 'tuber, well said, thank you

[@jaratt85]

The stabbing of the two guys in the wheelchairs was their version of jumping in the new guys.. The original members have literally bled for the music and they needed to bleed for them to prove that they belonged.. of course it wasn't real.. but no one told them that during the filming. VMan has talked about seeing them all standing there with knives while they were tied up in the chairs unable to move and they all came after them and how terrifying it was until they started attacking and he felt the knives give way and it clicked in his head that they weren't actually trying to kill him, it was just a video.. still he might've bled a little bit because Clown, just not as much as the video makes it out. But then Clown is the guy that headbutted a sheetrock wall right before going on stage and split his forehead open and went on stage with it bleeding so.. he's not the most stable person. Oh and btw, Clown's the one that came up with this video and directed it.. he's the one that hung himself and lit himself on fire at the end. The other symbolism in the imagery is also them killing off their old masks too, on top of facing their fears.

[@m2srh]

wait are you saying that the stabbing scene in the video, he thought he was really about to be stabbed?

[@jaratt85]

@@m2srh they... (VMan and Jay, bassist and drummer) they went into it without any clue of what the guys were going to do. Obviously they thought they'd be safe no matter what but you know in the moment they were scared shitless because Clown really is that crazy.

[@TanyaQueen182]

Yes. Yes. YES!!!!

[@TanyaQueen182]

Slipknot videos are crazy, but this one is extra gory for sure.

[@jenniferlynne3314]

Corey Taylor is one of the best in industry. He’s got a 6 octave range, which is incredibly rare.

[@TheNraveles]

This was always was my fave video bc it was, to me, the biggest showing of their evolution between albums for not just their persona and masks but as a band, since this was when Paul died. I feel they made this the whole point of the video, they killing off their old selves, to kinda speak on that and wanting to move forward

[@pbhill8350]

I would recommend the song Demon cleaner by Kyuss, I just love it's melody

[@timebandit1266]

This band Has Three Drummers and one of the drummers bangs a Keg. This band is a World Treasure.

[@marcgustafson6015]

A MUST is Psychosocial! Slipknot kicks ass! Luckily in the Midwest I've been able to catch them 4 times - never disappoint!!

[@chrisfrench9257]

The title made me think of Everything I by Lollipop Lust Kill, lol. Check them out sometime. They are/were a big underground band in their time.

[@RonnyRay19]

They were shedding their skin in the video. Showing their evolution into the next stage of slipknot. It may be disturbing but it’s a great reflection of their art. When I first heard and saw this it’s was great day for rock and metal.

[@madcracker84]

Definitely spit it out, live at download. Phenomenal crowd work. But really anything from them is gonna be good.

[@keithbabb87]

If there is one consistancy with Slipknot, it's the video's they release for each single. Fans can be split on the discography, but the video's are normally pretty legit. You got some fun content ahead of you :)

[@jrgdrumsandwatches]

May I suggest you listen to the whole album IOWA. Raw, pure energy from start to finish and Joey Jordison on drums at his best. A must hear metal album!

[@frankthedukes1564]

i have 3 reactors i love..Polo, Stevie and Laydback.

[@BonesAlexander]

Slipknot really helped me find out who I wanted to be at the start of high school in around 07 or 08 right around when All Hope Is Gone came out and I've been a Maggot ever since, that's what we're called btw. =P

[@mattsaunders6107]

Gotta go back to their roots. Sic, Disasterpiece, and Surfacing... ALL GREAT ONES. Before I Forget has a great video too.

[@brendonm4545]

To add to very few reactions, you should check out A Liar's Funeral, De Sade, and Hive Mind.

[@ellavarnes2392]

Dude, you gotta check out some Bring me the Horizon. I'd suggest "teardrops" as your first reaction. Thanks for checking out Slipknot here as well!

[@PNW-Twelve]

Thank you for the short intro.

[@christy5672]

Vermillion Pt. 2 is a really good one.

[@jbug64]

you should check out Cory's other band stone sour (bother or through glass for song recs) or his solo acoustic version of snuff from his show live in London

[@nataschatrest234]

Yayyay yay

[@stevehope6283]

I'm reacting with you bro. I'm loving the music. Not paying attention to the video nor interested in theatrics at this point. This rocks. Pure and simple. I want to hear some of their speed rap type lyrics. I'm a child of the 60s and 70s..80s.. 90s not much Worth listening to except for Tool in a similar genre.

[@niveKOnBass]

Some songs I think you'd like (i also grew up on hip hop) - People=Shit, Custer, Unsainted. There's one song in particular that I use as a tool. When I'm sitting in my car being too lazy to get into the gym or work, one of my favorite go-to's is "Gently." That song just makes me want to bring out all my aggression. Gently is easily my favorite from slipknot for that reason lol. You gotta have bass though, or you're missing it.

[@carl700r]

Meshuggah - Bleed Plz and thx you! Live video for Tomas's drumming

[@TopherLee513]

Left Behind is probably my favorite Slipknot song. Check that out...

[@TheATOMICGOBLIN]

More Slipknot please, I think you'd love: anything from first album (Self titled Slipknot), Left Behind (song), and Duality (song)! I am also a huge tool fan and current subscriber if that gives my voice some credit lol

[@theplaguepadart3743]

This is a good song off the gray chapter. this is post Pauls Death, Joeys removal from the band (not passed at that time). Was a crazy time for slipknot and maggots. Edit: also when it comes to the music videos. Clown Directs them all. i may be wrong. Someone will correct me if i am.

[@3percentmick705]

“There’s certainly nobody like these guys”… Mudvayne… hold my beer 😂

[@dougfisher1266]

Checkout Unsainted next. Then Wait and Bleed. If you are new to Slipknot, I think these are best songs to dip in to.

[@mayaslave]

I'm from Iowa Too much in the corn gives us weird power Lol we r mid west

[@skellydoom3860]

You gotta listen to murderdolls at some point, specifically Nowhere. Its Wednesday 13th and Joey Jordison's(old slipknot drummer, rest in peace) passion project. A bit more on the chiller side

[@ryanglueck9094]

U should check out Wait and Bleed by slipknot

[@KingBee609]

Definitely check out Killpop, Solway Firth and snuff live unplugged Corey Taylor solo version

[@EZ2XLR8]

Where did you get the chaos machine kinetic sculpture

[@athannyx6815]

This and psychosocial are the only Slipknot songs I have ever actually listened to in full and saw the video. I am not good with lyrics that are hard to distinguish. This is a good song however.

[@Tiffany-zi7li]

You'll have to hear his son! Very similar style.

[@kynoVNs]

I was woking out the other day, and one of slipknots songs came on. I started bangin my head to it and it came as a shock when i found out it was SK. I honestly was avoiding their music because i thought it was yet another screamer band.

[@jeffersonalexanderleivamar8929]

You should react to Left Behind by Slipknot, you will like the song and the creepy video. Great reaction as well. 🤘🏻

[@AtlasCrafted]

Love how you describe it as "machine gun sound" Drummer here, that technique is literally called "machine gunning" because it yeah sounds like an automatic going off and its badass as fuck. We go to extreme lengths to get the perfect tone out of our bass drums. That perfect *click* where it lasts less than like half a second and cuts off perfectly. Cut holes in the skin, fill the drum will pillows and blankets. All the tricks. By Slipknot? Id go with either Duality (absolute legendary classic Slipknot track) or The Blister Exists.

[@elemthero11]

Ice nine kills is another great horror themed metal band

[@Storm88x]

s,lipknoe staple like psychosocial and before i forget and dead memories are great starting points for their music, also Solway firth . then get into the real heavy stuff.

[@nicholasredmond8598]

Highly recommend checking out the song slipknot did with tech9

[@tomnorris9209]

This is a song that reflects them killing their former selves and things they feared (i.e. a fear of birds...and then crows peck your eyes out). Often the masks shown are those that the members wore previously (they change and update their masks constantly); and those were the versions of themselves they killed. I believe it was a catharsis following the death Paul Gray, a member of the band that was really a cornerstone and support to them all and the band at large.

[@ysinvangulik1004]

Nero Forte, Solway Firth, Wait & Bleed, Gehenna, Killpop, Surfacing, Puls of the Maggots.

[@edwardnorgren8649]

have to check out corey taylor snuff acoustic super dope

[@Amocoru]

That machine gun fill you're talking about is called a blast beat and the previous drummer was the king of it.

[@wesbaumguardner8829]

"Before I Forget," "Wait and Bleed," and "Duality" are required listening.

Need to check out old Mushroomhead......

[@seansterling5322]

This is them facing some of their fears or whatever their "devil" is inside. The dude with the pinocchio mask is TERRIFIED of birds. He was freaking out so bad during the video shoot. It was also a nod towards their fallen bandmate, Paul Grey, who ODed. The devil he didnt conquer

[@kellyh8138]

Unsainted, Vermilliion Part 1 and 2, Duality, Solway Firth, Killpop, Nero Forte, Etc.......

[@BitchinKitchenComedy]

Best way to do it is to do the best song from each of their albums. I’ll list mine lol Self titled-(sic) Iowa (the heretic anthem) Vol. 3 (vermillion) All hope is gone (psychosocial)-not technically my favorite but biggest hit .5 the gray chapter(devil in I) We are not your kind (Nero Forte) The end, so far (Yen)

[@jamesferguson6060]

If you like his voice check out some stone sour as well.

[@theinfinatewisdom]

Kill Pop is another good song/video, that is worth checking out.

[@mikeg7242]

look up behind the scenes or making of the devil in I. Clown, who directs the videos talks about the song and what is going on.

[@seventhirteen137]

I read somewhere that the band members are living out their fears in this video. From being eaten alive, attacked by dogs/birds, and the new drummer being killed by the rest of the band...
