🎵 Slipknot Nero Forte Reaction | Best Breakup Song Ever & Eggplant Jokes

[@truth7348]

Them if they attend Knotfest: Brad: bobbing his head listening to the lyrics. Lex: Going berserk in the mosh pit.

[@dominickhamman1787]

FACTS 😂😂

[@Dexiray]

Brad at some point: Calculating the lyrics like that woman in the meme. Then he notices wait, where's Lex? And he spots her surfing the crowd 😂

[@Machinist1755]

She would own that pit!

[@demolitionmanduh]

Lex makes me laugh because her energy when metal starts kicking in. Watch her eyes you can see when it hits her. Much love you two.

[@bigemetalmilitia8462]

10000000% Metalhead LEX🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@zeroreyortsed3624]

The smile on her face as soon as it starts is priceless. Lovely to see a metal head in the making😂😁

[@jojack1234567890]

The divorce court line was funny as hell.

[@zebraman777333]

I said the same thing. Watching her get into metal is so fun to watch. Lol. I love it. We need Brad to take a few shots and relax with most metal so he can hear it in his soul.

[@williamcoyle7500]

Right she so gets it

[@tskwerl]

I love the dynamic of Brad deciphering the lyrics and Lex just over here rocking out. lol.

[@Amocoru]

Agreed. I'm not usually that into reaction stuff but I'm vibing hard with these two.

[@m_i_s_t_a_h__j_]

That's my favorite part. Brad analyzing every lyric and Lex just feeling it. But she's not missing the message while she's rocking out.

[@blackholesun9068]

They are a complete package!

[@tayhollowpeake9226]

Your girlfriend just literally just turned into a METALHEAD

[@robbynieman]

My thoughts exactly. When she started cheesing and basically started headbanging I was like yesss! We win another one!

[@malkakynatas8389]

Your mums a metal head

[@TEXAS_SKOLDIER]

*Spit it out* live at download please!!! Such an epic performance!

[@robertwood6462]

This one! To see them live is an experience! PS you should check out the original Snuff🤯

[@davidzaso3160]

Even though SIC from that show is 5000x better ... everyone recommends "Spit it out"???

[@TheModerateShow]

This has to be the BEST Slipknot live show.... I was there and it was insane!

[@startingwith221mai]

Fucking insane performance

[@oler00]

The version from the Disasterpieces DVD in London is wayyyyyyyy better in my opinion. You get Iowa era pissed off Slipknot. Corey sounds way more raw and brutal, conveys the emotion of the song better. I feel download only gets requested because of the crowd size, which is dope too, but the band's performance is more seasoned. That raw Slipknot should be what they react to 🙂🙏🙏🙏

[@MacAnAirchinnighJM]

Just see Brad coming home to Lex head banging and solo moshing to metal full volume in the living room.

[@bennytanner1962]

You took the words out of my mouth ! Now that Brad is loose now and next thing you'll know Brad will now be a metalhead !

[@Rikko5500]

Lex just blows my mind, her enthusiasm is so infectious and she is beautiful, Brad you lucky man!!!

[@damcrazy26]

Lex is quickly becoming a Maggot!!! She just lets the music take her, and I love it! Brad I love how you analyze the song as a whole, makes y’all a great reaction combo! Oh, and the therapy y’all are thinking of is scream therapy or sometimes called rage therapy, and I will attest to Slipknot’s effectiveness for this!

[@jonathinfellnerah4021]

It's actually MaGGoT but yes agreed

[@a.j.vanfossen4789]

We need lots more Slipknot start with the 1st album and work your way up

[@FordTransTech]

The metal is beginning to infiltrate Brad's soul! Groove to the beat homie!lol

[@wolfinthesno]

XD you can see it throughout the video he's just steadily becoming more and more in groove.

[@dimrye]

Hi kenny cpt Levi here

[@FordTransTech]

@@dimrye someone finally recognized it! Haha, right on man

[@Robert048]

I got chills everywhere when she said, "I'll bet this is what guys feel like during child custody battles." You nailed it! I'm going through that hell as we speak!

[@mosoho]

Corey Taylor is an amazing songwriter. He makes you feel what he’s feeling. The drums on Slipknot songs are unmatched.

[@Leadgutsv2]

I was hoping they caught that part just before the breakdown, and they did, well done! Definitely one of the most creative lyrical content I've ever heard

[@Amocoru]

"What if the angle is more complex than I thought?" Slipknot in a nutshell. You listen to Killpop and you think wow he really feels for this girl, but the girl is his emotions towards the music industry. There's always some meaning you don't expect in these lyrics and figuring out what they actually meant to him is so interesting.

[@JC-sr9zf]

Yes! They need to do Killpop!

[@lindseymaggot4042]

You are 100% correct!

[@mediumvillain]

It's better instead of trying to 'decode the true meaning' of a song to let it work on multiple levels

[@seekerofshadowlight]

Yep, Lex is a metalhead. I love that you guys are getting into more slipknot.

[@acigarbar]

Lex is goddamn amazing at this! Converted to full metalhead!

[@annex318]

Remember a couple weeks ago when Brad asked how to move to rock/metal? Glad to see you both enjoying metal? 💗🤘💗🤘💗

[@romteni]

I know right. They're coming along nicely. We want a video from a live concert now!!!!

[@Unlucky_Vampire]

I’ve watched people react to this song a million times, and this is one of the only channels that paid attention to the lyrics

[@trio801]

Please do psychosocial and devil in I, both by slipknot. Watch the videos for those though.

[@Schloobster]

This is actually not a song about breakup, even though it’s easily interpreted as that. It’s a song about Corey Taylor’s (the main singers,) depression. he struggled with depression and presumably still is.

[@chrisgleason7121]

Alot of his lyrics are centered around his relationship with the music industry or fellow bandmates but he writes in such away that it becomes relatable to more people. Hes actually been happily married for years.

[@trentjones3302]

Lex you hit it right on the button ! This is exactly how is fathers feel that have to fight for our kids!! This song feel and lyrics both express perfectly the energy you feel going through that trauma .

[@brownwestmoreland1077]

I absolutely love her reaction to the power and flow of slipknot. It's actually fun to watch her rock out to Slipknot. I wish my girl would rock out with me when I'm playing guitar and jamming Slipknot.

[@sierrabrooks9083]

I love watching Lex get into everything 🤣❤

[@Sixus1Media]

My take on it is that Nero was the one who let Rome burn, and forte being good at something (as in something is your forte), i read it as the object of the song is someone whose greatest skill, i.e. thier forte, is burning things down, a la Nero.

[@bruno3778]

Yes!!!! This is exactly what I think it means as well. You nailed it!

[@titallium3244]

My take is that Nero Forte refers to the depression of the lead singer this album was written after, as nero translates to “darkness or black” and forte translates to “strong or strength”. So in all it means strong darkness

[@darmakx99]

Also, out loud it sounds like "narrow forte", which would be like their greatest skill (the burning things down) is also their only skill

[@davelewis3775]

You guys NEED to check out Spit It Out (live at download 2009) by them. Don't worry about the lyrics as much, its more of the actual stage show and the way Cory handles the crowd.

[@TrevorDunkin]

Brad. My dude. I just found this channel, and am absolutely in love with your analytical mind and your detailed approach. And Lex, I'm obsessed with your enthusiasm. This is amazing stuff guys, keep it up!

[@superericdude100]

Lol never stops entertaining me she is so metal

[@davidforrester303]

Lex, I think you nailed it! I always believed that people were wrong when they said that people who listen to metal are angry and aggressive. I listen to a a LOT of metal and I think it is what keeps me rooted. I can release the anger that the world causes by vicariously listening to these songs that speak to things like this without being angry and aggressive in my day to day. And Slipknot is a great band to cross from Hip Hop to Metal. They were part of the Nu Metal genre and cross that line between rap and rock a lot. If you like this, check out Mudvayne. I think you will like the energy and lyrics behind their music too.

[@DerangedVoices]

This became my all-time favorite Slipknot song. I just love the energy, the vocals, the clever writing. It's so good.

[@zachhenderson7982]

I love how all reaction channels I watch slowly turn metal.

[@tydye7335]

I love how excited she gets and how hard he’s trying to get it 😂 can’t wait too see where the metal journey is going!

[@dylangonas1765]

Seeing you both develop a passion for metal is my new favorite thing about KZbin. Bless you both for constantly bringing a smile to me . Enjoy the ride developing your love for metal

[@dyydan1]

Metal is what calms me down. I use their energy to help release mine.

[@chrishawkins5695]

You 2 are an absolute pleasure to watch. I love watching people get into the music i grew up on and still rock daily! She's so full of energy she'd definitely be running towards the pit

[@benjamincollins8046]

Lex's energy when the music comes on is awesome and bro you are becoming a metal head too. Bro you need to cut her loose and let her just rock the f#&k out. You guys are awesome

[@ultratality]

Finally getting into some slipknot lyrics are pretty deep. Also this genre of metal is called nu-metal so there are some aspects of rapping in nu-metal.

[@DerangedVoices]

Yeah I think people who enjoy rap and want to check out harder music should definitely listen to nu metal. It blends the two genres so well.

[@AtomsOfAdam]

Corey Taylor is truly a living legend, but you cannot forget that Slipknot as a whole is part of what shaped him into what he is today. And that goes for everyone in that amazing band. They were and still are a force to be reckoned with. They are all crazy talented, entertaining and the lyrics and meaning of the music are on point. Again they are all legends. Thank you for the content, I love seeing people discovering great music that is new to them. 🤘😝🤘

[@stephenbatman33]

This is top 5 best reactions of all time, you guys picked up on nearly every aspect of what makes this song great and that is very rare for reaction videos. Cudos

[@cybermartyr8839]

This is such a good reaction video! It's really refreshing to see you both break down the lyrics & their meaning as well as tapping in to the energy of the music rather than just being put off by the bands dark imagery & harsher vocals... As for the line about "A home like yours is upside down" I get the feeling that its more than just a bad break-up as I feel he's calling her a home-wrecker - She's not just cheated on him, she's broken a home/family as he can't forgive her transgressions - "Too much animosity".

[@majinwayzxp8540]

“THATS WHAT KZbin IS!!” I just can’t unhear it

[@ReVoltCR4Z3]

lex has the right reaction to metal just take the energy the music gives you and roll with it

[@OverboardDM]

Sometimes it’s cool to just rock out. I do it a lot. Just feel the music.

[@jasonkohl5497]

Slipknot has a way to put tuff subjects into lyrics that allow fans, to dump the emotions that are brought out from the hands of otherS that isolate and demeans u as a human.

[@JackieBurroughsAnderson]

Your analogy.... R&B to feel it... Pop to pretend to be ok ... this to feel the emotional destruction "it's more realistic" "get it out" ... epic words spoken eloquently! Thanks for taking the chance to listen and experience other music. Looking forward to watching your journey!

[@SoraJustSora]

I LOVE people who just get into the music! 💙

[@petey7692]

Lex: "i wish i had this music as a teenager" so true, i did have this music as a teenager and I wouldn't be the person I am today without bands like Slipknot, Lamb of God, Trivium, Chimaira.....along with 100s of others. love these reactions, working my way through them forwards now!

[@Emar3277]

You two are , by far, the best reaction videos on KZbin!! Keep the content coming!

[@warpig6349]

Hope you've been to a slipknot concert this year. Slipknot always brings so much energy, seeing them is always the best shows I've attended, so much fun

[@eagleal3]

I'm real glad that you all are getting into Slipknot reactions. He tends to use a wrapping flow quite often in his songs. Check out their song called psychosocial. I've been listening to these guys for 20 years I won't steer you wrong on this one.

[@robertperez8078]

You guys have too see some of their live stuff. 9 talented maniacs on stage. Slipknot live is an experience to behold. I've seen them live at least 15 times and they have never failed to impress.

[@matilda4833]

I'm loving the lyrical interpretation you guys do! So many reaction channels out there are just some person jumping around like an idiot to a song - too concerned about being "entertaining" than actually providing a reaction to the music. You guys are managing to both be entertaining AND really pay attention to the music, lyrics and meaning. Brilliant reaction!

[@mikeobrien8886]

God I love watching these two. Brad and the way he breaks down the lyrics. Lex she is just into the music. The way her eyes light up when it kicks in

[@10SecondZ06]

Lex is a hidden metal head and I love it. She’s feeling that shit and it’s so great to watch. I feel Slipknot more than actually listening to every word. Do “Wait and Bleed” my favorite old school Slipknot song. Huge hit. More like a song with a great chorus too. (Never mind, I commented before getting to the end of your reaction and hearing you did wait and bleed lol. I was just so excited by Lex feelin’ it and hit pause and commented lol)

[@jordanpaige7707]

Brad - "You don't want me to interrupt your rock session". Lex "huh? Whatcha got?" Hahahaha. Love you guys!

[@karihargrave1096]

Watching Lex rock out is awesome! Welcome to the Slipknot fan base, we're called Maggots. I have been a Maggot for over 24 years. And all members of the band write songs, Snuff was written by Corey, the other 8 all contribute to every album)! Rock on Lex🤘😁

[@d-blockgames6233]

The lead vocalist Corey Taylor has a ft with tech n9ne called Wither! You guys should check it out. He's also the vocalist for stone sour, some great songs from them are Through the Glass, Bother and song #3

[@JC-sr9zf]

Yes! Wither is so sick! Super underrated.

[@willhowe135]

Y'all finally made it to Slipknot thank God 🙏😂

[@jessicatomaras5225]

I absolutely love watching this. I love watching your reactions to the new music

[@jcarle1984]

Nero means dark. Forte means something you excel at.

[@tomahawk5324]

You compliment eachother in such a cool way.. love your videos

[@bryanforis1839]

Can’t miss with this group great live great show and albums

[@thomasvandeventer4936]

Absolutely love yall's content. Watching you two each reach outside your norm and exploring and embracing something different makes feel like unity in this country is more possible than we think. Call it corny but if his I feel.

[@davids1642]

You guys are a team!! She feels the MUSIC! and you man.. you break the lyrics down! You can just tell she feels the emotion and feeling of the music more lol I love it!! Y’all keep it up!

[@punksterdude8290]

One of the very few reactions that got the message down the side. Cudos to Lex on that one. Well done you. Not many reactions spot that.

[@walfam9846]

I love how metal you are, Lex! You guys should check out Corey's Prince covers! (Acoustic)purple rain! And Corey also has the band (Stone Sour) you should check out the song ORCHIDS by them.

[@clintonnovak4640]

Majority of that album is about one of the long time band members betraying and leaving the band, then suing them for money. The lead singer took it personally.

[@danielhackmn]

You two make me smile so much. I’m having a blast watching all your content and analyzing (quite accurately) music I love.

[@jeff5671]

I loved lex's reaction she was getting down to this song. Slipknot has always been one of my favorite bands.

[@93kingu]

I watch way too many reaction videos (why I can't upload my own gaming ones lol) and you guys are one of the most authentic...if that makes sense. Too many are pretending and most can see right through it. Keep being yourselves as you are! Thanks for the excellent reaction once again!

[@_ParkerJackson_]

Lex literally gives me so much life when watching yalls metal reactions!!!!! Brad just straight vibing trying to pick apart the song and Lex is 🤪🤘🏽

[@ubisallty7348]

She was into the sound of corey's voice and music... i couldnt follow i was in the zone hahahaha love this!!!

[@futurewavecs]

Metal is often a journey. You don't understand an entire song in one sitting. It is a lot like a game with a lot of replay value because you can play it many times and experience different things. Often this is how us metal heads learn the lyrics... we listen, and listen, and listen and then we are singing... When I was young I'd sometimes read the inserts to get the lyrics but most of the time I'd approach first listen like an overview and then each subsequent listen new layers would become clear. Then I discovered good Progressive Metal and it takes this process to an insane level.

[@Colby_Purrins801]

Her hype is all Slipknot fans hype! Welcome to the Maggot Family you two! 💜🤘🏻

[@TheAlpineShepherdBoy]

I can't wait until you two discover the Vol. 3 album. I've been a Slipknot fan since 2000-ish when I first heard them but that album will always be my favorite by them.

[@elisandrotrevino2586]

Lex is a metal head at heart, I love it !!!

[@titusbc]

Lex… when the music activates her lol 👍 Brad when the lyrical puzzle pieces come together 👍

[@Angela-sq1jz]

You two are the cutest!! Lex, I wanna go to a metal show with you. I’ve been to many and you’ll love it!

[@ThisBeardGames]

lex definitely having the time of her life, keep rocking on

[@brandonkelly5209]

Hell yeah I grew up listening to them too. Hell yeah they've been hitting it since 99

[@ohleewarvanderproll4523]

U guys are awesome! Love to See Lex is on fire "UH!" Thanks slipknot to find U! 🤘

[@benjaminburris8982]

SLIPKNOT: DUALITY!!!!! it's a must and when you do I want to be there for it. It's epic!

[@dstar8487]

I used to love slipknot then tastes tend to change with age and I just realised I haven't listened to them in several years! Thanks for this! If you haven't already, check out wait and bleed.. classic! Just checked, you did 6 days ago.. how did I miss this!? A guy you might like- hobo johnson and the love makers! They did a great tiny desktop.. not so keen on their new stuff but check out that tiny desk top! 👍🏼

[@stevengirton6477]

That speed is the best way to get moving in the morning. It sets the pace for the day

Keep following this road, the rabbit hole is deep and worth

[@davidmartinez9702]

Heavy music has the most intelligent lyrics of all genres. This music is raw and true emotions are spilled through the music .

[@spencerl3734]

Your guys reactions to Metal are so goood!

[@halox3xdraven]

please take this lady to a slipknot show when they go back on tour! a vlog of the experience would be awesome!

[@STGCHAOS907]

You two I'm enjoying your vids might actually use the notification bell for the first time on youtube.

[@moxborol]

You guys are adorable! Sincerly, a metalhead loving your reactions

[@backstagecollectibles9776]

Yesss nice to see Lex's energy back! Love Brad's analysis! Keep the vids coming! :)

[@aarontrent9270]

I believe this song is completely internally directed. Not a break up song, more of an anger at yourself.

[@neonviking2229]

While it could be interpreted that way, the singer ,Corey Taylor, had just gone through a divorce before making this album so it's definitely about a relationship.

[@karihargrave1096]

You guys are a hit! I love watching the reactions to Slipknot & Corey Taylor. Want a REALLY great slipknot song? Solway Firth! Lex will seriously lose it! Also an older Slipknot song, is Duality (but for Solway Firth & Duality, watch the official videos, it adds to experience).

[@Sorin_TheDarkOne]

Really enjoying you guys. I think Brad was a little scared to pause the video at first. Lol

[@bio4ema]

Thank you for this. ❤

[@michiganjack1337]

I have never thought about it being a "key" that makes so much sense.

[@hed420]

hed pe - Bartender hed pe - Pac Bell hed pe - Serpent Boy hed pe - Wake Up hed pe - Sofia hed pe - Swan Dive hed pe - Blackout hed pe - Lets Ride hed pe - The Meadow

[@shannontrough2680]

Loving it!!!! All their songs are great! "Duality" & "Psychosocial"!!!!! And "Devil in I"!!!

[@blicablica89]

I used to work in a music store years ago. We sold DVDs on how to scream and growl properly without hurting your voice. There's definitely a technique to it.

[@jeffknowswhatsupoldsoul1978]

Lex gets into the music while Brad is checking out the lyrics, always lol. She would be great to go to a show with. Not so sure about Brad,he would be squinting those eyes trying to figure out the lyrics lol. You guys are are a great combination, love your reactions!
