Rappers React To Slipknot "The Virus Of Life"!!!

[@blacktytrix]

Easily the creepiest song on vol.3 and one of their creepiest songs overall, as well as one of their most slept on. Song is so atmospheric and it flows perfectly into "danger-keep away" which is one I've mentioned before as being great/underrated. It has two versions which I honestly prefer the shorter version but many enjoy the longer one as well.

[@S1L3NTBUTCH3R]

I actually prefer listening to the virus of life then let it transition to the short version of danger keep away,it sounds so much better to me. I can’t deny that the longer version of danger keep away is really good too

[@blacktytrix]

@@S1L3NTBUTCH3R same. They work so well separately as well as together.

[@zenthemanchild]

what would you say is their creepiest song ever?

[@blacktytrix]

@@zenthemanchild there are a bunch of options but I might go with tattered and torn

[@josephgreene1397]

Scissors actually

[@ericartson393]

This is a great song!!! Doesn’t get nowhere near enough love!

[@19RaxR91]

Definitely one of their finest.

[@FlyboyHelosim]

I highly recommend the track 'Scream', which is a b-side off Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses) and is also very underrated. It's one of my favorite Slipknot songs, has multiple layers, and is just very 'busy' instrumentally. It's one of the few songs the band has done that I feel really shows that they do have nine members.

[@ILUVROCK_IN]

They have to do this song 100%

[@azuredragon7879]

"Don't Get Close" is another underrated track from the special edition of The Subliminal Verses, but definitely they need to "Scream" first.

[@jirka2142]

It sucks that (to my knowledge) this song was never played live.

[@brandondrush]

You are right, It's never been played live.

[@leonidasneves7972]

Diluted, Gamatria, The Virus of Life, This Cold Back Are all top level Slipknot songs, it sucks they never performed these songs live

[@Catch3318]

I think this song captures the Darkness of the band during this cycle. In the verge of almost breaking apart. A lot of anger and pain came out of that writing process. I can wait for you guys to react to Scissors. The Anthem of my Teenage years.

[@vermimilion]

thank you guys so much for doing my suggestion!! im really glad you guys liked it! smokey hit it right on the head when he said it was about a stalker. the song is from a stalkers perspective, and they're in love with their victim, and since they can't have them they'll kill them. the "virus"its love itself, which is inside all of us, but it can seep and affect us to do terrible things. its my fav slipknot song of all time and i love talking abt it!

[@Hollywood6IX]

Gotcha covered my friend

[@zillllazine]

it can also be about depression

[@danayakhartchenko7366]

This is the funniest reaction to a serial killer song ^_^

[@AJewBag89]

Another great song like this one is off the self-titled album is “Prosthetics”.

[@ishansaif818]

agreed, this song is awesome and creepy af

[@kidfunkyfriedyoutubeoffici8998]

This song slaps, one of their underrated ones fs

[@cablevamp3163]

I remember a friend talking shit saying slipknot wasn’t heavy enough so I showed him this song and eeyore and changed his mind quick

[@sabiangilang8256]

Love it, yes it sound of like stalking but PROTHETICS far more creepier. Hope u react that song ASAP.

[@cginsane22]

Yes!!! This!! Been waiting for them to get there since they love the red jumpsuit era so much. A much creepier stalker song indeed.

[@jeffersonalexanderleivamar8929]

Yeah, I agree! But Scissors is the creepiest 😳

[@sabiangilang8256]

@@jeffersonalexanderleivamar8929 i agree tho, but i think for the element of instrument/music prosthetics are ahead.

[@sabiangilang8256]

@@cginsane22 totally agree!!

[@ErectusEnormous]

The virus of life sounds more like stalking and rape, while Prosthetics sounds like stalking and murder. I don't know which one's worse

[@sharoncarlisle9453]

I love this one. I've listened to it countless times, and I am still on the edge of my seat when I hear it. I can't believe it's never been used in a scary movie.

[@xyredits320]

this is exactly how i feel about this song. its my dream to create a film based off this song and use this song in it. if there ever is one, remember me!

[@Ethanshmeethan00]

My favorite song from vol.3. Favorite song to blast during road rage

[@WishMount]

If they played this live I'd actually collapse. One of their most underrated songs. Period.

[@xyredits320]

YESS ME TOO!!!

[@milxify]

For me this is peak slipknot!! There is no other song that captures the utter insanity and depravity that is slipknot!!! Ahhhhh I love this song soooo much

[@cablevamp3163]

Show this to anyone that has doubts about slipknot being heavy

[@addictedtomusicandtraveling005]

Scissors is also one of their heaviest ones, those lyrics are so profound and hit you with a chainsaw ripping off all inner limbs.

[@brandonrollins8175]

This is my #1 on vol 3. Keep up the solid reviews gentlemen.

[@Drivestort]

OMG Hollywood's ad libs are fucking HILARIOUS.

[@katiebee939]

I LOVE how much you guys loved this song.

[@klasnm_5364]

"...and if you hear me I'll enjoy trying to find you". He's already got him/her/them running. (Omni)potent image. Well above average good at scaring people. 🤭

[@Godikin]

Three Nil is one of my favorites on this album, Vol. 3 the Subliminal Verses. Do Three Nil next ;)

[@addictedtomusicandtraveling005]

Three Nil is a certified banger, thanks for suggesting this brilliant masterpiece. I've rarely seen the Maggots community mentioning this wonderful track.

[@christopherpasco864]

This was a good way to wake up at 5 am on a Saturday. Thanks guys.

[@xyredits320]

so glad you covered this. my FAVORITE slipknot song!!

[@lindacoy7165]

I love that you guys used a lyric video. This was great, and I enjoyed watching y’all get into it.

[@skull7241]

My favorite slipknot song

[@riyintocco]

Again, this is my favorite album of theirs, for this reason. Dynamic, experimental, ethereal, dark, etc. I was thinking about suggesting this reaction, but it’s not one of the most popular tracks. One of my favorites, but I know it’s not on the frontline for many. PLEASE check out The Nameless from this album 🙌🏻

[@carlosesteves7958]

This song reminds me a litle bit Tatered and Torn, a song from Slipkots first album.

[@blurrlightt]

I loved how they dance to it as if its a 2010s rap song or something lmao!!

[@kidfunkyfriedyoutubeoffici8998]

Came for the slipknot reaction, stayed cuz the intro songs bars were actually fire as fuck!

[@backfate1712]

Love you guys!! More Slipknot please))

[@hayleydavis708]

This has been one of my top 5 favorite Slipknot songs for probably over a decade and it's sooooo underrated. They do creepy songs so well and they have quite a few.

[@Benobot99]

9:25 is one of the best Slipknot moments on this channel! That made my day. This song has quickly went from my Top 20 of Slipknot to my Top 5. 🤘🤘

[@b1gpapan3cr04]

Some of the octaves and tempos between the instruments and vocals are... strange. But this song is masterfully built. The first minute+ is just constant layering in an off kilter build. Then the expectation subversion where the first drop should have been. I love this song :D not many people would cover such an obscure track you guys FU###in ROCK!

[@kotycassidy6955]

Finally my favorite slipknot song...🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 great choice fellas

[@thehandyswitch1117]

Easily my fav song on Vol. 3 , never hear it mentioned amongst slipknot fans

[@saadesigner07]

One of my favorite songs to play on guitar. Such a banger.

[@addictedtomusicandtraveling005]

This is peak Slipknot, for sure. If y'all haven't done that yet, I suggest either Three Nil or Opium Of The People next time. These fabulous bangers will blow your minds away, trust my words.

[@Duskwalker68]

One of their creepiest songs! The only one that's more disturbing is "Iowa".

[@Luis-vv6gw]

I think this is the creepiest song that you could enjoyable listen to as a song where in Iowa it’s just a bunch of fucked up noises

[@kristaspecht]

Hey guys! This was a greatttt reaction! Totally enjoyed watching you guys get down to the song!❤🤓

[@logandoles6859]

Yeeeessssss…PAULS BASS IN THIS IS FUCKING TASTY!!!!

[@Sam83105]

yassss

[@nikolay-avokadunskiy]

This is why I love this song and the doo-doo-doo WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@davidmassey6332]

Very underrated song, love this one. Yall gotta do Surfacing!

[@anthonyguilford6563]

Love u guys

[@aykutdogan8270]

Next time, react to Scissors or Diluted. These will blow your mind how Corey sings these songs, especially Scissors.

[@carlosesteves7958]

Jinjer: Whos gonna be the one ?????Great fucking song!!!! Dont forget about them!!!!!!!!! Tatiana and the guys dont deserve this!!!!!!You,please dont stop!!!!? From Portugal,all the fucking best!!!!

[@ishansaif818]

Always a blast to see you both. You should really check out 'Prosthetics' from their self-titled first album.

[@anthonyguilford6563]

Definitely one of my favorites

[@insic1137]

Slipknot - Scissors

[@zackzaharko89]

I love the slow creepy grudge buildup in this song to the climax of it! Great reaction guys!

[@jasondesselle5143]

I have always had this on my shortlist of favorite Slipknot songs. Never knew why it did not get more attention.

[@whengooddogsdobadthings9156]

Ill give Corey Taylor credit....one of if not the most honest songs ever written.

[@ArkaeaFCL3]

You guys really have to check out prosthetics next! If you think this is creepy, that song is so much darker!

[@electrichorseman7158]

Love this reaction… omg .. working it

[@thmp3r]

Hollywood, you’re still surprised when the life story comes out on the obscure wrestler. Me too

[@thmp3r]

Great catch on the Marilyn Manson vocal speak vibe

[@tonygonzalez8254]

RUSH THURSDAYS!!!

[@Kudaj6965]

i have yet to see anyone react to the song "diluted" by slipknot and its by far my favorite song by them.

[@bobblair4046]

Love this song. It's a shame you guys didn't get into it( attempted humor) Great reaction Trash Talkers you continue to impress

[@stukkdolo4739]

This was a really fun one, cheers!

[@jhordanhanson]

this was the song that really grabbed me when I first got the album

[@sanguisastra]

I think it’s about a ghost (dead loved one), “I wanna empty you and fill you in with me” “I wanna touch your Soul”

[@absolutelyaidan1767]

Rappers? Guys are clearly rockers one guys wearing a perfect circle shirt....the guy on the left is singing along and knows when the kicks are

[@kyleburns1340]

This and scissors and prosthetics are my jam for slipknot songs. Homeboy should be slipknot official hype man lmao

[@wencherubach2516]

Nina Hagen Band - Pank (live - acoustic -- 1979) Love this one 🤣✌💖🤘🖤

[@yourhero34]

This is my favorite song from them. Great to see a reaction for it

[@felipealbertoortegagarcia1425]

FALLING IN REVERSE _ ZOMBIFIED!!

[@williamjohn2910]

Never seen smoke dog so into slipknot before!!!

[@oussamagouchy9374]

you gotta react to more .5 chapter , i’ll say go with “the one that kills the least” or the burden

[@sthraedeythrasher]

So, I know everyone will argue there are much better songs by slipknot, but due to my age, timing, and the environment I grew up in...this was the second song I heard by Slipknot. It will forever hold a spot in my heart as it is hands down the reason I decided to learn guitar over drums. (Further, to be a rhythm guitarist vs a lead)

[@metalguru85]

Great song that's very underrated.

[@shannonturner8337]

You guys have got to react to some MURDER DOLLS. Joey Jordison was the lead guitarist of this band. He joined up with Wednesday 13 from NC and this is one of my favorite bands. I think you will love their work as much as I do. Please do yourselves a favor and check this band out

[@germanfamily5838]

Check out “if rain is what you want” awesome drop by slipknot

[@anthonyguilford6563]

Yes this is our jam dawg

[@christopherglock7239]

Slipknot breeding is the new fury road.

[@babberification]

I suggested the fuck out of this song. Now do The Nameless. The entire album is a concept-this song directly ties into Vermillion, I’d you think about the lyrics from when you listened to it.

[@twothouse123]

One of slipknot best!!!

[@vovindequasahi]

This song is awesome!!

[@MR-DRBZO]

They recorded this album in a hunted mansion with Rick Rubin. A lot of other bands like black sabbath and Red Hot Chili Peppers also recorded music in this mansion. Corey actually believes in the paranormal.

[@M82A1870621345]

Surfacing - live - Disasterpieces dvd

[@carlosesteves7958]

SYSTEM OF A DOWN FEAUTURING WUTANG CLAN!! SONG: SHAME ON THE...!!! RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE FEAUTURING WUTANG CLAN!!! SONG : TIGER STYLE!!!! TOOL FEAUTURING RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE!!! SONG: REVOLUTION!!!!!!! COREY TAYLOR,JAMEY JASTA FEAUTURING BIOHAZARD!!!!! SONG: DOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!

[@nickantonelli5268]

I would suggest either Three Nil from vol. 3 or Orphan from we are not your kind.

[@kotycassidy6955]

By far the hardest in my opinion

[@edgcrushr]

How have you not done The Heretic Anthem yet? Or Surfacing? Or The Negative One? Or Gematria?

[@ilhampalevi7336]

I hope you react to before i forget, i think you two gonna like it!

[@whengooddogsdobadthings9156]

Hes talking about death...the lover

[@carlosesteves7958]

Great song!! Other great songs?? System of a Down feauturing Wutang Clan, Rage Against the Machine feauturing Wutang Clan, both songs from the album/compilation Louds. Other one,Rage Against the Machine feauturing Tool.Yes sir !!!

[@mikeabney2527]

I have to listen to this song by myself because anybody within the 5 ft radius is catching an elbow.

[@brettwalker5579]

The virus of life is desire

[@adamsarfati7756]

Guys give a chance to the song Iowa from the album iowa . You wont be disappointed !

[@deadlyredly1]

One of the scariest songs ever written lol Like Jesus this is a dude with issues!

[@johnrein629]

Please do divine Heresy Facebreaker! Pretty please

[@samc541]

You guys need to listen to The Heretic Anthem or My Plague!! You'll love those if you like old school slipknot!

[@markituritus999]

You have to react to Metabolic. For md the most agressive Slipknot song

[@addictedtomusicandtraveling005]

So are The Shape and Skin Ticket. These two Slipknot songs bring me goosebumps to the core.

[@cristianpuzzoli6299]

you must listen Kashmir from Led Zeppelin

[@jjswifty678]

Yall should react to the rest of the self titled album or more of all hope is gone by slipknkt plzzzz

[@etessier87]

There's too many great songs by them to suggest so my only suggestion is dont stop slipknot Saturday till you've ran through them all!!!!!!

[@ngillette80]

(Wounded Animal) I wait all day to see your face When you come home The only attention that I get Is when you say leave me alone She turned me into a wounded animal Then she backed me into a corner Now I don't know what to do at all I might just have to bite her I obey every word you say When you're home The only time I have anything Is when you throw me a bone She turned me onto a wounded animal Then she backed me into a corner Now I don't know what to do at all I might just have to bite her I tried to show my love Then you rub my nose on it, like it's shit (WRONG) I don't deserve it So you beat me like a dog And you think I'm just gonna take it (WRONG) You thought I would just take it Like a scared little dog (WRONG) She turned me into a wounded animal Then she backed me into a corner Now I don't know what to do at all I might just have to bite her I might just have to bite her I might just have to bite her (HARD)

[@EgoSquall]

Song is top 5

[@Ken-bp3ql]

The song Iowa by them is creepy as fuck. 15 minutes of serial killer-esque music.

[@crystalspears465]

One of my absolute favorites from the Vol. 3 album! So on every album they have a song that just goes completely off the rails and goes uber creepy and just really dark and messed up (even for Slipknot standards!) In terms of music, lyrics and content. I feel like the Virus of life is Vol.3's "let's explore some fucked up shit" song. It is about someone stalking someone (which Corey has a number of songs on that particular topic btw😳😳).

[@kitty5964]

i never heard of this song...but i like it !! it wont let me use my emoji's have u guys play hollywood undead play levitate or young =^..^=
