Slipknot 'Gematria (The Killing Name)' Guitar Cover

[@ethanaubrey858]

Hands down their most underrated song. I know it will NEVER happen but I hope they play this live some day.

2:45 god damn, was not expecting you to hit that. What a fantastic cover.

[@zek1876]

Exactly man.. Solo as the same as the record... I think Jim cant play his own solo twice

[@TheMetalLife666]

@@zek1876 I watched an interview with Jim saying he never plays the solo exactly the same. It’s literally always different and improvised lol. I’m sure some parts are the same sometimes or the basis of the solo is the same but always different 😂

Holy shit finally found a perfect cover. This is so sick

Right

[@watchmxxnbleed]

@@benelmermusic Hi, Ben, do you have tabs for this song? just wrong everywhere

[@tf.00]

My god, this is great. It shows exactly how hard this song is to play. I'm guessing this is why they never played it live, even in the intro, it'd be hard enough to nail all the notes in a live setting with masks on, sweaty hands, while having to headbang to it.

[@joshguy5221]

It'd be like when they played All Hope Is Gone, they'd probably just be in one spot focusing on hitting the notes

[@ZenAkuWillow]

3:47 not only a perfect cover but he went for the Jim Root slide like the demo from the video where Mick is recording this song

[@PlasmaStrider]

Yea true harmonic slides are the best!

[@ZenAkuWillow]

@@PlasmaStrider I’m so addicted to Jim’s harmonic slides!

[@PlasmaStrider]

[@mauriciogarcia8389]

My guy! You have literally left me speechless, and although I wanted to keep this comment short, I simply cannot. From the tone, the precision, the rhythm, everything in the video seems perfect to me, I thank you for uploading this here and allowing people like me to be amazed with what, without a doubt, is the best cover I have seen so far of this song, please keep uploading good content like this, thanks!

[@sethhoffman8213]

You’re awesome, love and positivity:)

[@benelmermusic]

Thanks a lot Mauricio!

[@priceG]

Definitely an underrated song, and an even more underrated cover! This is probably the most accurate and badass cover i've ever seen of Gematria

[@ivyhallquist3159]

You put some FEELING into that! Awesome job! 🤘

[@benelmermusic]

Thank you!

[@champagnpapi800]

I thought the most impressive thing in the video would be the Jim Roots jazz master, but the amount of grind that took you to make such a perfect cover is hands down unreal. Thank you so much.

[@drstrange1321]

My favorite Slipknot song and you played it FLAWLESSLY!

[@oldfriend327]

Absolute perfection. God I loved this. Light years beyond my abilities. Thank you so much for doing this and especially of this song. I have always secretly loved this song and especially with the lead up to it with that ominous/apocalyptic speech with static intro "Execute."

[@tumbamarch89]

I never understood why they don't play this one live. In my opinion the best opening track of all their records. Oh yeah and nice sound, great cover and great energy!

[@akzzzx]

They said because "it's too complex" overall the song is just too difficult to get correctly on stage, plus they don't like it, so they refuse.

[@lordpreminger]

@@akzzzx this is like the best song on all hope is gone :(

[@krisania96]

@@akzzzxIt's one of those "only Mick Thomson likes this song" slipknot songs i guess lol. Mick writes all the death metal sounding fuckery, and usually those songs don't really get played live. except for maybe people=shit.

[@Walter_Hartwell_White_Sr]

@@krisania96ofc Mick though, lol

[@twiztid133]

Cos it’s not well known, even if they play is live most people won’t know it. Corey have said that when they play I am hated live the crowd was confused as fuck. Slipknot setlist is almost always same.

[@L0-C01]

Fuckin' too nasty man. You blew the roof off tha joint. I'm receiving that same guitar tomorrow! I'm shit but i'm still gonna rock out haha. Good work man!

[@andrewplaysguitar]

Agreed. that album has some absolute gems that they just don't play live. Amazing playing BTW

[@DavidRodriguez-jd4ot]

This is my childhood song and you nailed it, I'm 25 now and the only thing I can say is that you're my hero

[@christopherkeys1722]

I know how tricky it is to play that song. And I have to say you exceeded my expectations. Good fucking job man!

[@DerpyFromYT]

Bro what the actual fuck the cover is indeed accurate

[@the.eldubya]

Duuuuuude FANTASTIC cover. This is a good show of why they probably never play this song live lmao. Soooo complex and involved

[@shamuwhale408]

Thank you for existing, this just made my drive to learn the song even higher!

hahaha thanks a lot, keep at it!

[@PunkInDrublic87Gaming]

Best cover, Clean solo! Wow dude.. just wow.

[@brathahn69]

Its one of my goals to completely play this song, I'm currently learning the intro and this video makes me realize that it will take a while to learn this song.

[@jane.6107]

Wow this is spot on. Keep it up!

[@benelmermusic]

Thanks so much for the kind words 🙏

[@Miatalustrium]

Damn, this is a sick cover! I didn't realized how intense the guitar part for this song was.

[@emersonvestal]

This is by far one of the cleanest cover for this song! Congrats man! Shit was epic!!

[@HenryJ-Mk2]

Dude you smashed that!! Got massive respect for you doing it in one take too, that was fucking sick!

[@benelmermusic]

thanks a lot! a couple of bits that could have been tighter but felt the vibe was just there with one!

[@james737er]
