Rappers React To Slipknot "Pulse Of The Maggots"!!!

[@dantekazuma]

I've seen Slipknot live twice, and this song is an absolute banger. When they are yelling "Say it Again, Say it Again", the crowd chants back "WE WON'T DIE"

[@gonzalodavidvazquezgonzale5796]

Lol, ive also seen them twice and they didnt play tjis one. I was really expecting it😣

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

Vol.3 spent at least 3 straight months in the CD player in my truck when it came out. I spent most of my free time driving around, so I listened to this album hundreds of times just in 2004 and many times since. It's my favourite Slipknot album by a slim margin over Iowa.

[@mediumvillain]

I had the 2K sports football game that year, uploaded this album to my console and made it the game's stadium music, so the whole summer I listened to this album thru simulated stadium speakers lmao

[@blacktytrix]

"This is the year where hope fails you" No other way to start the year than listening to slipknots anthem to their fans. Edit: on the topic of slipknots "political nature" they leaned a lot more into that type of stuff for all hope is gone. Stuff like "gematria" or the song "all hope is gone" (used to start and finish the album respectively) really get across that message of how much politics/our divisions hurt us in society.

[@justcausee]

The entire All Hope Is Gone album is fire

[@blacktytrix]

@@justcausee it's always been one of my favorites. Home to some of my favorite tracks, even the 2 bonus ones are great.

[@etessier87]

So glad yall listened to me ! This was slipknots most epic opening song in my opinion with the curtain up and the siren going off till the song hit and the curtain fell. Everyone stomped their feet n you could feel the ground rumble during the marching sequence. Was epic bro

[@daviddidder3781]

From can to can’t!!!! 19 min 47 sec. Long. It’s from Dave Grohl’s movie “sound city”. Great song and shows how people used to make songs. A MUST REACTION EPISODE from you guys, trust me!!

[@FlyboyHelosim]

The album that this song is off was produced by Rick Rubin, but the first two were produced by Ross Robinson. The band have also said that they hated working with Rick, as he was hardly ever at the recording sessions and when he was he had very little input. If I remember correctly they said that mixer Greg Fidelman acted more like a producer on that album than Rick ever did, and ultimately got them through it. And yes, the fans were called 'Maggots' before this. In fact, the band had a very short-lived record label called 'Maggot Corps' around 2000/2001.

[@Drivestort]

Corey said that, because Rick wasn't really involved in his stuff, mostly just listened to what he had and moved on. But Mick and Jim both said that they loved working with Rick, and he was very hands on with them.

[@ork_oz]

Same like Metallica's Death magnetic album. They ended up continued with Greg fidelman.

[@davidriddick82]

Happy New Year Fellas 🎉🎉 In terms of the tight group that are the “maggots” it could not be any more true. I can honestly say it’s like that with rock/metal also, I’ve been going to festivals and shows now for over 30 years, and yes the crowds have changed over time, but I’ve never felt unsafe or unwanted at any rock or metal show PERIOD. This past year in 2021 I saw SLIPKNOT for the FIRST TIME. I was a fan from Self Titled Album aka Red Jumpsuits, and I was front row, surrounded by fellow maggots and I never felt so at home. Never doubted that everyone there had my back and we all jammed the fuck out hard, Slipknot was insane, will go again ASAP

[@vermimilion]

happy new year guys!!! please please PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE react to the virus of life off of their vol 3. the subliminal verses!! it's an AMAZINGLY CREEPY song and the lyrics sends chills up my spine everytime but it's a great song

[@dimesrevenge]

Great choice my friend

[@papaemeritus5842]

Great Song and Reaction. Please do more of .5:the gray chapter. "Custer" would be a good choice! Happy new year maggots!✌

[@Dyrtbag68]

Been saying this for the past month.

[@kitty5964]

ty..... better than bein called a dingleberry lol 🥳🥳🥳 happy new year

[@cheezy8492]

Unironically, 2022 was the year where hope failed me, my grandma died in march and i got adducted to weed in that summer and got kicked out of college in october. Im back on track now and got back in that college before it was too late

[@WebsterA]

Happy new year, guys! Thanks for all your content. All the best in 2022. Hope ya do more Meshuggah!

[@scottlefaivre6889]

Love this pic it's one of my favorite Slipknot songs I love the crowd interaction they throw in to the song. Happy New Year everybody. 🗑️🗣️4️⃣🧬

[@crystalspears465]

Best way to start the new year! Happy New Year!

[@metalguru85]

You also did Circle and Duality from this album. You need to check out Only One and No Life if you want to truly hear Corey rap 🤟

[@The_Fat_Turtle]

They also did "The Blister Exists".

[@t1ag217]

Also did opium of the people

[@brettgramlick5561]

"Do you want to dance? Yes!" My God. This whole time... I'm sorry maggots.

[@joshtheman82]

Also check out the song "3 Nil" off the volume 3 album. To me personally, it is one of the most intricate songs they put out at the time.

[@blueyegrl74]

Happy new year fam. Hope all have made it thru the New Year celebration with a decent hangover or no sleep lol. Cheers

[@MissDillinger1]

Happy New Year Maggots!! Before Corey started writing the lyrics for this song, Joey gave him the song title 🙃 Please react to Sarcastrophe.

[@ronaldguidry2256]

Rick Rubin was very hands off and the band were pretty much left to their own devices. They said they will never work with him again. So now he has a great producer credit for something they did largely by themselves.

[@metalfuckincore1]

Dude, vol. 3 is one of my favourite Slipknot album! Listened trilion of times! Its awesome ❤️🤘 Happy new year Bros🎊🍾

[@rayzufall8924]

I am a Slipknot junkie. But first let me say i love the Garbage Pail Kids shirt. Pulse of the Maggots is basically the song that lets you know Slipknot is what makes the Maggots tick. One of my favorite songs by them. Love the reactions to them

[@trenthollars146]

I waited at hot topic till it opened to get this album. Y'all are great. Happy new year. 🔥🔥💨🇺🇸

[@wilfredmiller2585]

Happy New Year to you and everyone else and may this be a blessed year for us all

[@Tomi_BuzzCat]

HAPPY 2022! The ' lyric ' version! Funny, the last Slipknot Saturday of the year was on Christmas, 2021 Now, today, 2022, it's the 1st Slipknot Saturday is on New Year's Day ... It's called ' Maggots ' Cos When the band performs on stage, & looks at the crowd, the fans looks like ' maggots ', audience moving around out there ... " DUECES !!! " 🤘🏻😸✌🏻

[@MR-DRBZO]

happy new year to all the maggots out there. awesome reaction. you guys should check out Custer as well. it's from vol.5 the grey chapter. the live version is so good. also surfacing from the red jumpsuit album if you want angry slipknot.

[@ourdemonknight7615]

Favorite knot song since it came out.

[@FirstKickCamdenMacLaren]

This is the best bromance I've seen in awhile. You two are obviously a lot of fun

[@bahamutthekingofdrag]

the actual intro to the album is amazing, if you guys like this song youll love the entire album. its in my top tento

[@christophercook4819]

This is probably one of my favorite slipknot songs both lyrically and musically. I grew up an outcast even among my family and I’m a very stand your ground and fight and do what’s right even when you’re standing alone person. Songs like this really speak to me personally. That’s probably why I really got into black veil brides when I was 17 or 18 and still really enjoy listening to them at 31. Another band that really speaks out on societal injustice and standing your ground is Rise Against I’d recommend checking out Help Is On The Way and Re-education Through Labor

[@petkucius]

Happy new year, maggotz! Told ya you`d like this one, it`s a really strong message. Nice start, but there is still so much more to come. Like Do nothing/Bitchslap from MFKR. Or Confessions.

[@AmberPearcy]

Way to ring in the New Year! This was great!!! 🤘🏻🥳

[@kristaspecht]

Happy new years! May all of you have a good day!❤🤓 Loved loved loved y'alls reaction! This is a kool ass song!!! I love the sound! Thanks guys!

[@clos49er05]

HAPPY NEW YEARS PEEPS!!

[@RipleyVs...]

It’s a beautiful thing seeing someone hear this for the first time. 👌

[@dimesrevenge]

You guys are starting to come into your own Slipknot is a monster

[@adamr6811]

Great reaction boys……seen Slipknot do this one live in Melbourne at the Big Day Out…..I was a little fucked up, but it was a great show 😝

[@Chapel85]

Happy new year!!

[@bendsouza7455]

Happy New Year for 2022! The intro song to Vol 3 is Prelude 3.0. It’s kinda a depressing but beautiful song. On the Vol 3 album, listen to: Prelude 3.0 Welcome Before I Forget Danger Keep Away I’m sure you’ve reacted to other songs on the album. But by far, Vol 3 is my favourite album from Slipknot! Thank you for the Slipknot reactions.

[@cginsane22]

The 'AHHH!! Real Monsters' teacher name makes so much more sense now

[@Hollywood6IX]

Lol

[@russellhoyt588]

When they mentioned a grumble, it made me the of the Gromble, from AAAHH!!! Real Monsters!

[@jaysonkelly4830]

This is my favorite Slipknot song. Great react.

[@KP-xn7bq]

Phenomenal way to begin 2022 fellas!! Enjoy the New Year, be well and stay safe!

[@etessier87]

I dont think yall quite understand how much fellow metalheads and maggots even more would come to the aid of a fellow metalhead/maggot without knowing who they are whatsoever. You are instantly family and we dont fuck around much like u could say "jugalos" persona is. We got you as much as you have us. Back then it was almost tabboo to even be listening to their shit that other artist called them all sorts of names. "Shitknot" being one so the following that did was such a cult following that noone would let slipknot open for them because over half the crowd would leave when their set was done. The ride theyve had is like none ive ever heard before. Cant wait till you know the complete story. Its great seeing how hype this got you! Reminds me the first time i heard it. Ok you want a political song by Slipknot check out Gematria( The Killing Name) the lyrics are so true and powerful. Its a musical masterpiece for sure

[@evaetterer6000]

Hi bro's, happy new year ! I love Slipknot and this song is very amazing ! Greatings from germany ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤

[@djinn_jer]

Happy new year gentlemen Happy new year Trash Talkers Y'all stay (sic) 🤘🏻

[@kristaspecht]

Psychosolcial was on the all hope is gone album:)

[@katiebee939]

14:53 that’s exactly what it’s like being there. 👊🏻🤘🏻

[@pauliewalnuts829]

I read somewhere that the solos in this song are pretty much an ode to Slayer solos. Just complete chaos.

[@duncansolloway2497]

from rap to metal to country RICK RUBIN brings his savant magic-he has an ear for great talent

[@dawntextor8170]

Happy New Year!!! Keep it up boys

[@randyjohnson2436]

Would disagree with you guys mentioning phycosocial as the song that made them mainstream. Let's not forget "Surfacing" from the debut and the song "My Plague" from "Iowa", which was also one of the main sound track songs on the movie Resident Evil that year. My opinion their debut album made them mainstream but My Plaque being on a high end movie with a already bad ass soundtrack to the movie made the way for them.

[@mikioni]

Excellent 👏 Happy New Year! ✨🎇

[@twman_]

Video starts: 9:30

[@wearenotamused6455]

Happy New Year !!!

[@christopherpasco864]

I recently recommended an Indian metal band to you called Bloodywood. The track you need to check out first is called Ari Ari. I can't get enough of it.

[@ShanLH5]

They did one of their songs awhile back, not sure which one though 😊

[@joshtheman82]

The band didn't care for Rick rubin. Ross Robinson produced thier first album I think

[@dyingaether]

Love it, Happy New Year fellow maggots! Stay (sic)🤘

[@loudnoises213]

Happy new year guys! great video to kick it off haha Keep festering in the rot maggots! Maybe this Year we'll get some Devildriver - The Mountain or Unearth - Endless

[@VanderMaster1]

I forgot how good this song is!

[@crayzeewhorse]

Micks solo is demonic 👿

[@tonygonzalez8254]

RUSH THURSDAYS!!!

[@septiplierisdead5315]

Maggots since the first album

[@germanfamily5838]

If rain is what you want is a dope slipknot song check it out

[@adamsarfati7756]

You have to listen to the song iowa from the album iowa . This song deserves it

[@thatbobguy9778]

I would have to say Duality from the same album is the song that made them mainstream.

[@Mandonburphy]

I love all the Tool stuff that keeps showing up behind you guys 🤟🤟

[@rorodille]

It's a song for revolt for sure, plus de sound is massive

[@sussychachi]

They aren't the weirdest though. MR.BUNGLE holds that position.

[@stationkj]

You guys need to check out Eeyore

[@microgirl3789]

Happy New Year!!! Joey Jordison used to call the band members maggots so that's how the tradition started. Then the band said the crowd looked liked maggots squirming all over the place during their shows. And the rest is history. Still waiting on "The Heretic Anthem" ❤🤘

[@mendyrckz76]

🦋Even Though I'm A Bit Late Happy New Year Maggots! And What An Awesome Song To Start This Year Off. ✌🎶🎶🤘

[@Ken-bp3ql]

Say it again, say it again, we won't die, say it again, say it again, we won't die Happy New Years guys.

[@GalacticCenterOG]

For 2 decades almost I thought someone told me that “the pulse of the maggots” was something Corey came up with one time when he was tripping on psychedelics at a show and he said that the crowd turned into maggots and he said we( as in the band Slipknot,) is the pulse, of the maggots. Like they’re the heartbeat that keeps the maggots going… idk who told me that lol, but I’m not too sure the Google explanation is right or not… it’s definitely not as kool lol. But idk. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤘🏼

[@izaaklaframboise1663]

Y’all need to react to the song all hope is gone by slipknot fr a banger heavy to

[@F13thvoorhees]

If you haven't heard "Duality" or "Before I Forget" off of this album, you've gotta. They're defining Slipknot tracks. 🤘 Subliminal is my favorite album by them

[@ShanLH5]

“I was buffering” 😆

[@D3aD0n3]

happy new year, guys (:

[@mattgantz1019]

Smokey mentioned this was an anthem. On that note you guys should check out “the heretic anthem “

[@tylerreece7190]

Rick Rubin also had a hand in Smokey Mountain Wrestling in the 90s

[@AltitudeOdyssey]

10:25 for those looking for the reaction

[@markwhite9878]

Thar was fire 🔥

[@alknapp6822]

Ross robinson produced self-titled and Iowa. Not to mention he had a fractured back. Subliminal verses is the only album Rick Rubin produced.

[@riyintocco]

Happy new year dudes! Imma just say up front, this is my favorite Slipknot album and I still love and respect the art, but they definitely aren’t outcasts… they started with a “fuck the system and mainstream” an developed into “buy our masks as Hot Topic, our whiskey, and our pop vinyls”. They had a bit of a turning point. No shade or anything, it’s just a drastic change in their motive that’s hard to keep up with when looking back at where it all started.

[@petal_cult]

i think paul really held the soul of the band together and now everyone's replaceable and it's more of a brand than a cohesive unit, ironic how they still have the barcodes on their outfits despite what they're supposed to represent

[@riyintocco]

@@petal_cult exactly. I feel that. Still great music, but I’m over them telling me not to confirm while they’ve become the epitome of conformity.

[@riyintocco]

@@petal_cult side note, Ventana is dope as fuck (in the same genre). Check ‘em out if ya get the chance. I’ve been jamming them a lot lately.

[@romaretaylor9953]

@@riyintocco I get where you’re coming from but the thing is tho the mainstream basically came to them, their debut album went platinum in a year making it the fastest selling album (or debut) in roadrunners history at that time. And then Iowa their attitude was even more fuck the industry but once again it was huge and they basically became a “brand” more or less. Even with vol 3 being your fav that’s the one where the old fans starting calling them “sellouts” since duality became their biggest hit at the time. I miss the original 9 too but I still feel like they have integrity when it comes to their music.

[@riyintocco]

@@romaretaylor9953 oh yeah, that’s gonna happen with any amount of fame/attention. I’m not saying they were true to their message during v. 3, I just prefer that album overall. I’m a sucker for dynamic themes. Sure, the mainstream came to them. But they could’ve also said “no”. Not saying what they did was right or wrong, just observing it and choosing to not praise them for being outcasts. They definitely aren’t outcasts now. Maybe back when they started out, but if I can buy a Corey Taylor figurine… I consider that mainstream 😅 Edit: Craig never bought into anything (at least not publicly). That guy knows what’s up 🤙🏻😜

[@lykangconquers8039]

If I'm not mistaken I remember something about vol 3 being the album that they didnt cuss on as much cause they were getting flak and the typical "you can only write lyrics with curse words"

[@platkotheungod]

"Get This" by Slipknot is just filthy. I even double dog dare you..... 👀

[@R.Nashoba]

👊🏽 wicked

Happy New Year maggots 🇦🇺🇦🇺 Custer is a must live at 2014. I'm pretty sure they said the next album is there last with roadrunner, sic of been ripped off..

[@YodaRules]

You guys have got to react to Critical Darling from the WANYK album, highly underrated!!!

[@zackzaharko89]

Essentially a glorified anthem for us Maggots. Pretty epic. This entire album was a change from the rawness of the first two, is more technical and a higher emphasis on guitar solo’s

[@Bigmummyjoe57]

Eeyore slipknot next time

[@ngillette80]

Corey Taylor did not like working with Rick Rubin cuz Rick Rubin barely did anything for them for the album he thinks he's overrated he said he would never work with him again also on this album this is the album that Corey Taylor was getting sober on so Corey also has mixed feelings about the album because of that

[@theomega616]

Dunno if somebody else has told the story but .... The name maggots comes from (I believe) Joey once said the crowd jumping, moshing, dancing, moving round looked like maggots writhing around... so the name was coined So a group of maggots, is just maggots hahaha

[@pepe1999ish]

There is a pic of SLAYER run dmc and beastie boys he was producing all of them at that same ti.e

They did 😊
