Slipknot - Wait And Bleed | Singer Reacts |

[@selfishstockton6123]

VEVO was the worst thing to happen to KZbin music because now every reactor thinks all the music videos are from 2009

[@davefalcon2030]

Lol thank you for saying that!!!! Ik its 1999

[@tannermcgee1968]

just looking at that particular wait and bleed video you should know its from the late 90s LOL @@davefalcon2030

Any song uploaded after it's release date should have the date in parentheses

I guess the all think it was metallica in the 80s then nobody made rock music again until 2009

[@Nightopian1982]

Notwithstanding the fact that this is the radio edit version of the song, where Corey sings the verses instead of screaming them. Imagine the reaction to that from these KZbinrs...

I got an Aiwa car stereo that could read data CDs in 2001 or 2002, so I loaded one up with as many songs as it could hold. This was song #1. So many good times

[@JustSomeGoy]

The first time I heard this song was my house shaking from my neighbor blasting it on his huge house stereo(tower speakers taller than i was), I had to walk over and see what it was.

[@jnovak1278]

These dudes are god level. Short story: back in 1997, we hosted slipknot at our college for a concert. To see the terror in the audience, yet the brilliance of their art, was astounding. The band crashed on the second floor of our fraternity that night. As the sober social chair for the night, I woke in the morning to hear clanking on our stairs. Sounded a bit like Shawn was playing his kegs on our stairs. Nope, it was Corey dragging the last keg from our basement to the second floor so the boys could finish it up. A fan from that night onward.

[@omegashinra7672]

I'd say they WERE god-level, but have been far from it for a long time. They're egotistical, emotionless, corporate-style slaves to their own success now.

Southern Italy, late year 2000, sixteen years old. A friend of mine comes to me with his portable CD reader and his phones and says: "listen to this song; it's called Wait and Bleed. The band is called Slipknot". I was not a metalhead, but I'll never forget that beautiful punch in my face... Greetings from Italy...🤘🏻

[@drspritz]

Grande cazzo!

[@deadmouse656]

1999 - I discovered this song, the rest is history. Slipknot's early stage presence was pure chaos. 9 dudes on a tiny second stage at Ozzfest.

[@Games_By_Design]

Before Ozzfest 99 I saw them at a Cultural Center when they opened for Coal Chamber WILD show

[@BulletSponge178]

Iowa's biggest cultural export, possibly ever.

[@paulfossetti5041]

[@seangrover6101]

My first introduction to Slipknot. RIP Paul and Joey

[@simonrobinson10]

This was a radio friendly version 😁 Album version is more shouty/growly.

[@sumonjamal1653]

I was one of the lucky ones who got to see Slipknot on this tour for Ozzfest '99 before the self-titled debut album was released... Just to witness the original 9 (Corey, Clown, Jim, Mick, Craig, Sid, Chris, and the late Paul Gray & Joey Jordison) crammed onto a small 2nd stage and just tearing it up... INCREDIBLE experience!!! No one knew the songs but they really got the crowd going for their 25 minute set 🤘🤘🔥🔥 Legendary band 🤘🤘And this was from 1999.

[@XViTNg]

I also saw them during that tour, and I had just turned 13. I was still in my early nu metal phase - I hadn’t ever heard or seen anything like slipknot at that point.

[@ryanmorgan7170]

I love this song since it first was released and at that time it was just right before I started high school. Good memories.

[@Danstraightedge]

My mum was a metalhead and introduced me to Slipknot. It was this video. 🙂

[@tasosstenos7885]

this is one of the best songs for me

[@YonOtto]

Fun fact it was me seeing Wait and Bleed on TV that got me into rock and metal. Before that I enjoyed 80s rock like Van Halen and moden electro and techno music. But since wait and Bleed when I was 14, rock and metal has stuck with me til this day. So thanks SlipKnoT.

[@carlosrodriguez1721]

Old school Slipknot was the best 💯🤙🤙

to me slipknot is self titled, iowa, vol 3 subliminal verses...

[@BKLYN_TZU]

That live concert video is from 1999 so this is their introduction to the world

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Slipknot is the only band I have ever seen that moshed way harder on stage than the crowd did. Sid was looking over Shawn at the end because they just had a fist fight on stage and Shawn had been cutting flips onto the top of his own head the entire show lololol

[@heffatheanimal2200]

During that tour there were frequent trips to the ER for band members, although fortunately nothing caused lasting issues. I saw them live on that tour, and there was something about it I never experienced in any other moshpit, even later Slipknot tours. There wasn't malice and aggression in the pit, it was more like we all removed our self preservation. Opening up the raw, suppressed emotions, ignoring our own safety. It wasn't one of my favourite pits, but it was definitely the most visceral.

[@heffatheanimal2200]

@@RandomUserYTisFailing I'm an educator and professional in the BDSM community, so I fully understand people hitting each other in certain contexts lol Just like metal music, when it's not what you're used to, moshpits dont make sense until you've experienced them several times. Some types of moshing are physically violent, but they are not malevolent. It's catharsis and emotional release. There are sometimes idiots who jump in and abuse the situation, deliberately trying to fight, but they're almost always dealt with, usually by the experienced people around them. In almost 30 years of metal shows, probably hundreds of moshpits, I have only ever felt properly unsafe or at risk 3 times. And many, many of them have been more therapeutic than any holiday and psych session.

[@threadfall100]

Nah you'll see it in smaller venues, too. It's basically a way of blowing steam to some frenetic music and crazy atmosphere, but everyone is looking out for each other as much as it doesn't look like it! As soon as someone falls down you'll find people trying to hold back the crowd and get them back on their feet, a quick check to make sure they're ok, then dive right back into the chaos. You'll ache in the morning but during the show adrenaline is a helluva drug

[@Nightopian1982]

Blimey, how many 'Knot gigs have you been to? I saw them at Reading 2002, and the Birmingham NEC earlier that February, and both, especially the Birmingham Iowa tour date, were absolutely fucking insane. Even the people in the seats were ripping them up and chucking them in the pit, which was carnage. A bunch of us dragged a wheelie bin into the middle of the pit at Reading and were diving back into the crowd off it. Even Corey and Shawn were pointing and seemed pretty "holy shit" about how crazy it was. The days from their self-titled album and Iowa were their most brutal on stage and in the mosh.

[@Nightopian1982]

​@@RandomUserYTisFailingmoshing isn't punching people in the face. Unfortunately some idiots lose control or just use it as an excuse to be thugs, when it's really about slamming into each other in circle pits or pogoing like crazy. Crowd surfing can be a laugh too.

[@Heavymetal16]

god i miss the early 2000's!

[@90s267]

My favorite song right now, grew up as a little guy in New York to this stuff and it was simply unheard of. Learned drums because of Joey, and still play to this day. Rest up Joey #1 and Paul #2. Gotta thank my father for everything I know, mother as well. This song fits any mood. Any up, down, and all around. Wait and Bleed motherf*ckers!!

[@Slippy6582]

A Slipknot classic and actually the song that got me into Slipknot!

[@HaveAGoodDayFk.U]

I was a Mexican gang member in 2005'ish (18 yrs old) and my white buddy ty i grew up with took to one of their concerts and the vibe there is different. Everyone loves each other and was cool with eachother. All the concerts i went to before had gang members and rivals and the whole time it was tense. The slipknot concert was the first time i ever felt at peace around people. It was a huge wake up that made me realize the worlds bigger then just my city. It was really one of the things that made me wnat more for myself. Crazy how music can do that. This song will forever be a reminder in a weird way. We all arent brought up the same way. Sorry if i made anyone think some sort of way mentioning my past.

[@christinathompson6608]

I love your reactions, one thing to note this version is actually much more "clean" sounding on the verse than the actual CD. On YT there is a straight audio version that has the harsher vocals highly recommend

[@Nightopian1982]

I.e the album version. The radio edit seems to be the one these KZbin reactors listen to. It's quite satisfying seeing how so many struggle with it, although I'm not surprised nowadays. Imagine them listening to Behemoth, Mayhem or Cannibal Corpse?

[@lospasacalles7473]

This was so exciting when it was released, the transition from his clear vocals to his growl is still unique.

[@520azdc]

I saw Slipknot on the Ozzfest tour in 1999. Their first album came out a month before the show so I think I had heard it once, maybe twice. I was not prepared for the pure chaos of Slipknot in those early days. Saying you saw their set is kind of an understatement. It was more like you witnessed it. I was an instant lifelong fan.

[@mattgraham2835]

this song has its own intensity raw nice beautiful drum rhythms they were very creative in harnessing all that aggression and doing something really cool with it

I saw them at Knotfest for the first time in 2019, There live performance is almost as good as there videos, It was so chill and hype i went in sober and hours kater came out high as fuck loving it.

[@notSuperior]

My first ever metal song i have listened to!

[@speedbagboxer7451]

This song triggers a primal emotional response thats hard to put into words. It’s chaotic but structured. It’s beautiful but evil, inspiring yet depressing. From the masks they wear to the lyrics in the music… it’s sole purpose is to pull that primal side (the side of us we all have but suppress) out of u. Music is very emotional n Slipknot takes that concept and cranks it up to 11. Their absolutely brilliant n this song is definitely one of their best.

[@OkBud1997]

Surprisingly this is actually the radio version, the album version is alot heavier

[@JP47471]

This song is So Old but still feels SO CURRENT!!!!

[@omardcastrod]

One of my favorite songs from Slipknot. Aside from Prosthetics, Scissors and Vermilion pt 2. Left Behind and My Plague are cool too!

[@Rembrant65]

Being part of the feedback loop with so much energy in the air cannot be described.

No Face No Case- Reality Check. Its a long one to unpack but worth the watch/listen 😂

[@ugib8377]

Back when this was their only album, this was the song I would show people who might not be so keen on the intensity that is Slipknot. The rest of the album is either creepy ambience, or in your face. Some of their best music IMO

[@NOMAD-_-]

This was the first slipknot song I heard and what got me into them also Cory Taylor said back when this song and album came out he said his screaming technique was bad it sounds brutal but it hurt his voice that’s why his screaming technique changed throughout the years

[@brettl.6831]

I used to fall asleep listening to this album on my portable cd player when I was 12... :D

[@livelong6685]

@3:27 totally agree, it's very floaty, is it a dream or a memory or a nightmare, when this first came out, this song resonated with me and surprisingly im from the south, even brothers was aware of slipknot one because they're lit and their lyrics hit different, this version of wait and bleed had corey projecting his boy band voice to make it easier to consume via the masses, and also debut album it went to corey visceral vox for the other group of masses, both version slaps, also this song came out in 1998 or so and published in 1999, not 2009 although i agree their music is timeless

[@erkthenothing5499]

I still remember seeing the Inuyasha amv as a kid and fell in love with this song lol

[@KakavashaForever]

I was at the show where they filmed this video in 99, I was 17, we drove for 15 hours from NYC to be there in Des Moines. My buddy got in so much trouble, he took his mom's van to drive us all and she thought he would be home the next morning, really it was 3 days later we got back.

[@BulletSponge178]

I think Slipknot is why I started using the word "kinetic" to describe music

[@justinh.1290]

Currents - Unwavering Vow. Short, cathartic, savage song that I imagine was written from the perspective of the abused toward their abuser. Worth checking it out.

[@e-reefah9087]

As a kid this song had me headbangin so much it damn near turned my brain to soup 🤘🏽

[@BloodandSoilNS]

You should've reacted to the real version of this song? This is the watered down version. Fuck, I miss the old days when music was dope and Slipknot was still Slipknot. If you wanna be blown away I'd highly recommend you check out Slipknots Disasterpieces DVD from 2002. Truly a masterpiece that stands the test of time.

[@alexbell-d8p]

In the early days they did themselves some real damage on stage. They were rather enthusiastic in their approach. They have learned a bit since then, honest.😊

I think this song is about the fight we all experienced at least one time between moral and nature, between the animal we are and the human we wish to be.
