Slipknot - Psychosocial (THERAPIST REACTS)

[@edgar.em1168]

Never thought I’d see slipknot on here nice Tom! Definitely need to do more slipknot!

[@F3ar3ss]

Im having Tom do the Accoustic version of Snuff in January of next year

[@GamerDevilGirl666]

It is an Anti-War Song. "I did my time and I want out." The character is referring that he did his required time, either in Iraq, or in the military as a whole and wants out. "Go drill your deserts, go fill your graves" Pretty self explanatory. "Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save." While on deployment, troops make a lot more than back in the states. It's still not a lot, but compared to state-side, it's a small fortune. "I'm done! It has begun, I'm not the only one." The character is at his breaking point, he's fed up with the system as a whole. However, his psyche has been corrupted by what he has seen and done. There are others just like him. The chorus of the song refers to the overall corruption and death of a generation as a result of this war. "Fake anti-fascist lie." The lie based off of the poor intelligence that caused us to invade in the first place. "I've tried to tell you, but your purple hearts are giving out." The part about the purple hearts seems to have more than one meaning. The purple heart is a medal that the U.S. military members receive for being wounded in combat. Purple heart could also mean a literal heart that is in poor health. "Can't stop the killing idea. If it's hunting season. Is this what you want?" Now the character is out of the combat zone, back state-side, but all he has is a messed up psyche. Once the "kill switch" has been turned on, it doesn't turned off. All he has is pent up stress, homicidal and suicidal tendencies with a society that does not care or even blames him as part of the problem. Hence the whole term "Psychosocial."

Thank you for typing this, so I didn't have to😅... wanted to add, dude was asking about what does the "rain will kill us all" mean.. The rain = mortar strikes or some type of precision missle strike!!

[@GamerDevilGirl666]

​@@PastaDon_I'm not crazy and I'm doing the work. Copy and paste😁

[@gpjones1986]

Psychosocial or the psychology of society is what is discussed. In context this came out around time time of the war in Afghanistan. Its the frustration of seeing the corrupt government making decisions and society following them like sheep. He will preserve himself as the martyr for shining light on the hypocrisy and voicing his frustration of the heard mentality of the general population - the psychology of society.

[@Protomanx36]

Yep. Good ole Jason Myers from Silence of the Lambs. Classic.

[@DarkGamer-ft5fn]

i fliped out when he siad this

[@edgar.em1168]

Corey Taylor the lead singer has a voice react to Snuff especially his live acoustic is a must! Also Dead memories, duality, sulfur, ‘Till we die, unsainted a lot more but I’d say these are some good ones some of their best hits

[@F3ar3ss]

Im having Tom do Snuff (Accoustic) - Slip knot in january. Im trying to see if i can get duality on the schedule for sooner vs later. Cant promise anything on duality but snuff is set!

[@SLIPKNOT-182]

@@F3ar3sseverything ends is in of the best to react in this channel, is a perfect song about depression and hopeless

[@Posavac90]

Wait and Bleed by Slipknot is a must!

[@juliannabarlow6525]

Snuff and Dead Memories were my introduction to the Maggot world and to this day when I am having a really bad episode (Schizoaffective, Borderline Personality and Bipolar with ADHD inattentive type and sever anxiety) I can sometimes ground myself and "pull myself back together" by listening to Psychosocial... Corey Taylor is an amazing lyricist and he really connects to his fan base!!!

[@princessmorebucks4853]

My friend got me into slipknot when I was 14 I was scared of them at first then I went through a rebellious phase 🤭 My mum cried when I played - the nameless

[@TresTrefusis]

If you do Snuff by Slipknot make sure you do the acoustic live version.

[@F3ar3ss]

Thanks for the reminder snuff is happening in january so ill get the updated video choice to Nick

[@F3ar3ss]

Also i did the accoustic version alone as live songs dont give the same vibe in my opinion

[@TresTrefusis]

@@F3ar3ss Ahh I've never heard that one, the accoustic live one has a lot of feeling in it. Corey's voice is fantastic live.

[@teylaprax4739]

⁠@@F3ar3ss Corey Taylor live at KOKO. Camden, London. Aug 5,2016. The whole performance was fantastic but ‘Snuff’ and ‘Bother’ were exceptional. When someone is thinking of Corey Taylor acoustic they are usually referring to this particular performance in London.

[@rickgiles3633]

I read a quote that basically says that the one thing that all martyrs have in common is that they’re all dead

[@chrisburrelljr9270]

The dude with the spikes on His head is not the drummer. He's. The keyboardist and sampler And his name is Craig Jones and he had recently departed from the band last year Along with their last drummer j weinberg

[@tonyflamingosucks6590]

One of their heaviest (but still melodic) songs is called Eyeless if that’s something you’d like! The drums are insane, widely regarded as one of the best drum songs of *all* time. You’d definitely have a fun-to-watch reaction to it! If not that one, the music video to Duality is a fun one and Snuff is a BEAUTIFUL, soft spoken, heart wrenching song about his divorce.

[@HawaiianPunch-mk2vi]

If you want a good deep dive into the lyrics I'd recommend Knox Hill's breakdown. He does a good job at explaining the meanings, intents, and messages of lyrics, instrumental composition, rhythm, and the visuals in music videos.

[@CallofFreaky]

I appreciate that you know what psychosocial means cuz ur a therapist love you bro ❤️ Anyone needs the lyrics to understand it but you got an upper hand knowing words the rest of us are learning from this song

[@insufferable_trash]

SLIPKNOT!!!!!!

[@Beasty2023]

I love Toms reaction to heavy music. Especially to that Angelmaker song the other day

[@McGlothlin2008]

Love that you are checking out slipknot. Please do more

[@F3ar3ss]

He will be!

[@pikkisful]

@@F3ar3ss you are doing great work my man 🤘

[@nimblebanbys7606]

They have some chiller songs that are quite mental health relevant and as a slipknot fan myself I can say they have gotten me through some tough times would love it if you continued checking them out🤘🏻

[@fscorpion678]

need more metal bands, vermillion pt 2 or snuff if you go back to slipknot

[@metallyfan2k7]

This is a phenomenal rabbit hole to go down! RIP to Joey (the drummer) and Paul (the bassist)

[@riebug]

I love this song. RIP Joey and Paul. I really wish though would have stayed a "band" and a franchise. Their firing of their second drummer was rediculous. The drummer you are watching is Joey Jorgenson. Paul Grey was there bassist. Joey died in his sleep at 46 from Acute transverse myelitis. Paul i beleve died from severe heart disease, morphine and fentenal OD. Accidental.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Snuff live acoustic is my favorite.

[@JMulvy]

you should bring up the lyrics on your phone, tablet, extra screen, etc. Then when you want to talk about something, you can pause it go back and go through the lyrics. Just a thought.

[@jorgerocha363]

The drummer actually has a Jesus Christ inspired mask, the crown of thorns on its head.

[@preston3241]

more slipknot

[@johnkeegan7744]

I saw them live Met them the band was soo nice people

[@stirrling_moth]

FUCK YEA MY FAVORITE BAND!!!!

[@insufferable_trash]

AYYYYY MY FAV TOO!!!!

[@lorddouche1891]

new slipknot enjoyer here! i know this is random but i got into this band while i was browsing youtube and it was on my home page, i accidentally clicked on it, best.. day.. ever

[@skarmex3439]

*Reads title of video* "Oh sh*t..." *Clicks video*

[@valak9663]

WE NEED MORE HEAVY METAL!!!!!!! HOW CAN I MAKE SURE A REQUEST GETS LISTENED TO AND POSTED? Been watching for a longgggg time! :)

[@aleksandarantic2920]

Here's idea for several videos: Linking Park- In the end, Linking Park- Crawling. Chester(singer) was depressed and sadly took his own life. But lyrics in those songs are.. Strong. My recommendation, would like to watch review on those.

[@gorantomic7150]

Check out Lady of the dark (animated version) by Sabaton.... history lesson 😉

[@altenkerman7336]

For me, Before i Forget is a timeless masterpiece by slipknot. The interpertation is kinda blurry, each member of the band at the time had a different meaning for this song. I suggest that you listen to this one

[@9_ball]

I love this song- I'm getting a psychosocial tattoo

[@muscleboypa]

Like the reaction dude ...... life long fan of Slipknot, they are the fuckin greatest group ever!! It's all about the masks, the message, amazing musicians in the band, and the incredible industrial style metal! Corey Taylor, lead singer, probably the best front man in the business. Several percussionists to drum this fuckin awesome beat! Check out more Slipknot songs ..... it's rage against the machine.

[@ronnieroll718]

I think the rain he's talking about is Reign. Always have

[@Jackson.1911]

Listen to the song disasterpiece by slipknot with lyrics!

[@Jackson1983Bass]

Dead Memories is probably my favorite off that album. you should deff try that one.

[@GUMMYGUNNYGUN]

1:19 till 1:21 hahahaha 😂

[@valak9663]

La Dispute - KING PARK reaction from you would be so interesting, hearing your takes on the MANY mental health issues it talks about would be really refreshing.

[@ChristianMendez-fm2eu]

Dude is that him with scrim and ruby photos in the back

[@user-nk3uy9nm8p]

Stranger in a strange land Leon Russell!! Please ur awesome

[@sippinjuice1658]

I DID MY TIME !!!

[@Savanna335]

Please do more Slipknot 🙏

[@snakerooni]

I doubt it's a Slipknot fan suggesting Psychosocial... because with songs like Snuff, Unsainted, Nero Forte, Surfacing, Wait and Bleed, The Nameless, Sulfur and even Killpop... no actualy Slipknot fan would pick that...

[@SonOfNone]

Purity.... especially if he came to learn what Corey said it's about 🤭

[@ruhn.]

Maybe he’s talking about PFAS.

[@arnoldcox9128]

They're fed up with society that's the point I believe

[@goronsaki2174]

You should listen and react to La Dispute songs they're perfect for your channel

[@dylanwalston5644]

More slipknot please 🙏

[@joshc-ti6rs]

Let’s go Tom !!

[@timTNTtucker]

Do Watch the world burn, by Falling in reverse

[@luke_lukas]

I’m late to the party but you GOTTA check out pain remains 1,2 and 3 by Lorna shore.

[@dirtmesumshii1092]

Their main guitarist I don't remember his name but that dude is a fucking giant

[@fscorpion678]

Mick Thompson

[@jimroot_04]

Jim Root

[@sundayfunday5059]

They’re both massive

[@tonican15]

we need the reaction to never see me again or mamas Boyfriend by KanYe

[@MissingSmile69]

If your going down the metal mental heath Journey then I’ll sub for sure

[@MrPati1999]

Knowing your content, you should definitely listen to 'Til we die, Vermilion Pt. 1 and 2 and Snuff

[@jonathanmcmullen3324]

Break down the lyrics to Solway Firth by slipknot. Theyre deep

[@multi_cod_god]

Bother by Stone Sour (same singer) would be a good one to react to

[@terezastastna941]

🤟

[@claire.chiste]

More slipknot!!

[@TheKaiMaximoff]

Please react to the deluxe songs of PORTALS by Melanie Martinez

[@theseawillkissme]

I’ve been waiting for those too!!

[@HOFCLIPS9]

I think slipknot made custered and you should definitely give it a listen

[@ignis_infinitus_infernus]

I'd love to get your perspective on Blasphemian by Infant Annihilator.

[@JakeMckay1738]

You should try disasterpiece or people=shit

[@doggo7764]

you should react to skin ticket

[@carlpaiva2200]

Would love for you to do 46&2 by Tool. It's inspired by some of Carl Jung's work

[@theidajawho]

Chem trails tainting the rain, throwing our selves against the walls = hurting ourselves, and preserving the martyr in me = not worth saving them, my take

[@crichards037]

So much of me wants to recommend more Slipknot songs, but I won't...because like you said, not every genre is for everyone. I appreciate you at least giving it a shot, though! 😊

[@bernardoferreira3700]

please react to Snuff by slipknot you'll love it!

[@alexthegemini605]

🤘

[@jordanpatrick3988]

Still waiting for Korn

[@Phatballzinyoface420]

More dark music

[@elliemiddlemass4470]

Can you pleeeaassee! React to Paolo Nutini - Iron sky 🩶 much appreciated, long time viewer from scotland

[@peterlopez1953]

CAN YOU PLEASE REACT TO THE ALBUM 🤎LIFE SUPPORT BY MADISON BEER 🤎

[@VectorSpaceElement]

Hopefully he doesn't listen to infant annihilator

[@F3ar3ss]

Hey Tom if you never got a chance. Go check out the Knox Hill reaction to this song. He breaks it down in a way i never heard and it blew my mind. Like 7 years later haha. Cheers Tom loved the reaction. -James
