Slipknot - Snuff REACTION! I WAS NOT EXPECTING THIS AT ALL

[@isalinadeadwalker3828]

This is such a powerful song. If you want to just listen to the lyrics and not be distracted by the video. Watch Corey's live performance such a powerful voice.

[@marcusmenchaca6809]

Yes he should definitely listen to Corey preform this live, it's so much better.

[@aiphira]

Agreed! A much, much better version and his voice is amazing in that acoustic live!

[@nicjohn6375]

The live version will damn near cut your heart out man it’s good but tough to watch

[@leristamerello8225]

The fact he had an emotional moment during the live performance says a lot about this song in particular.

[@barbaravance6774]

I don't know that you could say it is any better. Only different. If you watch the making of this video Corey's "real " reaction was much stronger. Shawn had to stop taping. When you see him breaking down in this video, he is REALLY crying and Angry etc...it broke my heart when I watched the making of Snuff video. They are both equally good in my opinion.

[@TimedRevolver]

Not so fun fact: Corey Taylor really did cut his hand when he broke that wine glass. That expression right after and him rushing to wrap it were genuine.

[@KristineMarieTxSPI]

Did not know that! Corey doesn't ever do anything half ass.

[@LittleTinyElvis]

Even crazier, none of it was planned. He wasn’t supposed to break it. He also refused to go to the hospital until they finished shooting. He ended up needing a bunch of stitches.

[@jasonaustin3038]

If you truly want to experience his true emotion, check out his acoustic version of this song. You can FEEL his pain!

[@barbaravance6774]

Actually watch the making of Snuff video if you want to experience his real emotional reaction to this song! That, was heartbreaking!

[@crystalsmith5062]

Actually I agree with Jason 100% you can see Corey breaking down

[@ManuXxponyXxYT]

@@crystalsmith5062 the part where corey breaks the glass in the vid was actually real, he was feeling so bad he broke it, idk if it was clown or corey who said "keep going" so they just continued filming

[@crystalsmith5062]

@@ManuXxponyXxYT knowing his background a bit more now, I'd venture an educated guess that it was Corey.

[@Le_Grand_Corbeau666]

For me just the true version makes me cry the acoustic is going to kill me with sadness because that group is my life and just by learning the death of Joey Gray made me feel sad so just thinking about that while listening to this it's tears absolutely

[@michaeltabor4176]

"It took the death of hope to let you go".... So powerful.

Best line ever "you sold me out to save yourself"-this happens way to often. This song hits in the feels. We've all been here I feel.

[@dominicpontin1869]

If you're interested, the old man in the video, is legendary actor Malcolm McDowell.

[@Ranger.TomGunna]

Yep he played a hell of a Dr. Loomis is Rob Zombies Halloween remakes..although he's no Donald Pleasence

[@dustinshadle732]

Best probable part known as his role in "a clockwork orange " and also star trek movie "Generations". The younger in the crowd may know him by that one.

[@barbaravance6774]

He has actually been in over 267 film roles as an Actor! Yeah, he's the real deal! I love him in everything. He's one of those actors that you hear is in a movie band you go to see him. My Mom loved him too! But she died pretty young.

[@chrisclark2390]

And the girl in the hallway was Ashley Laurence from the Hellraiser films.

[@gabeackerman4964]

The song is about a woman he thought felt the same way about him. But in the end, did not.

[@davebcf1231]

It's about his ex-wife and their toxic relationship. He's said that several times in interviews now. The big reason it is so emotional to him is because it's the last song he wrote with Paul Gray before Paul died. Something else he's said in interviews for a long time now.

[@DJSkillIssue]

[@lilwoowoowoozie9242]

in an interview, Corey said it's about a person who he felt a certain way about and thought she did too, but she let him down. After bassist Paul Gray passes away in 2K10, he dedicates this song to him. You should also check out the live version. You can't dissect a song like that, line by line and take it out of context. You have to analyze the song as a whole. Also, when he shatters the wine glass, that was a complete accident

My favorite line is “I only wish you weren’t my friend, then I could hurt you in the end”

[@JustSendMeLocationPlease]

“And I won’t listen to your shame, you ran away, you’re all the same.. angels lie to keep control. If you still care don’t ever let me know..”

[@crystalspears465]

The first time I heard this song I was driving and I had to stop and pull over cuz it hit me so hard. The lyrics alone are enough to cut you to the bone but the music behind them just makes it absolutely gut wrenching. The video does kinda take a weird turn but it's supposed to symbolize how he loved this girl so much he couldn't live w/o her, so he became her. During the video when he breaks the glass, he really is crying in that scene. This song was a heavy one for him.

[@jarrettfinney4882]

Probably my favorite slipknot song

[@blxbrg2169]

It’s been said a hundred times but it’s true, the acoustic version lyrics hit so different and so personal

[@falseshepherd-490]

I've listened to and played this song 1,000+ times, literally. It still brings tears to my eyes. Corey Taylor is a lyrical genius.

[@slash-1971]

[@roygarrett1663]

Snuff is another terminology of someone that is actually murdered on film. Such underground films still thought to exist.

[@LittleTinyElvis]

Yeah, there’s a bunch of definitions. I think the one it’s refers to in relation to the song is “to extinguish a flame.” To me, the flame is their love, and it was snuffed.

[@Sta11ion]

Karvakulmio damn, would u mind to share some shit you’ve seen on there? I’m too sensitive to those things to see my self so I find dark web stories interesting

[@carolbaranyi3201]

Listen twice..one for lyrics..one for video....every second

[@seekerofshadowlight]

One of my all time fav songs

[@crystalspears465]

If you get a chance I highly suggest checking out the acoustic sets he does of this song. Will rip your heart out. Only now when he gets emotional during this song it's cuz he dedicates it to Paul Grey (the bassist for Slipknot who passed away in 2010) because Paul loved this song so much and was big part of making it and getting it on the album so he says it's his song now. Seriously watch the acoustic version. Powerful.

[@Kmissmay18]

So I know this is super late to the game. But I love watching your videos! I actually have this song tattooed on my forearm. It says…. ; bury all your secrets in my skin To me it is a very special song. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression, there is so much power in this song. I also see this song as the way he feels when she left him alone. This has been a feeling that I have felt. An emptiness that you feel when you lose someone. For me it is all the people that I have lost due to overdoes & suicide. There have been many people close to me who have lost their fight with mental illness and drug addiction. And when someone goes that way. There’s a massive hole that is never able to be repaired. May god bless you.

[@kimberleighlivingston9411]

Snuff means two things, back in the day if someone said he was snuffed ( someone killed him) and Snuff is also used like chewing tobacco but I'm not sure if it's tobacco or not.

[@michaeltabor4176]

It was a fine powdered tobacco that was sniffed. Usually kept in a snuff box.

[@cwbyfrmhell78]

@@michaeltabor4176 in Europe and Sweden it is a finely ground powdered tobacco that you sniff. Here in the US, some call it snuff but that usually is when someone is chewing fine cut. The mid and long cuts are just called chewing tobacco or dip.

[@michaeltabor4176]

@@cwbyfrmhell78 Snuff was also used in the US although it lost popularity in the late 1800's. But you are right, in modern times some people do refer to dip as snuff. The indigenous populations of Brazil were the first people known to have used ground tobacco as snuff.

[@1Oneof99]

Random fact-he actually cut his hand when he broke the glass...sorry last comment on this one lol just cool to see your reaction

[@bogart286]

The title snuff is in reference to something like a flame being "snuffed" out. That fire that burning desire inside of you being snuffed out or taken away. The video tells a story but needs to be viewed as more of a metaphor. Yes it's about a woman that did him wrong. That he felt all those emotions over. But at the end when he is dressed as the woman, it's to show that realization that she isn't that fire. That burning desire and that passion, that fire is in himself and it's going to exist whether she does or not.

Snuff is an old school powdered tobacco and slang for underground taboo films the Serbian Film is all about snuff films and as a term for murder. And Malcolm McDowell was a cool cameo.

[@SR1Records]

1:37 "wait, is Snuff an illegal drug?" In the UK, 'Snuff' is(was?) a form of crushed tobacco that you snort in pinches. I don't think you can buy it anymore though. Snuff is also a term for a type of "gentleman's special interest literature" (porn, lol) where someone is killed in the film. Finally, in the olden days, people would "snuff" out a candle (put out a candle) so Snuff can also mean to kill someone because of that. Maybe there's more meanings - i didn't Google it, this is just the uses of the word that i know of.

[@jenniferadyson]

You need to check out Corey Taylor’s acoustic version of this song to REALLY feel it!

[@LordSplittawig]

Snuff is a tobacco product that is a powderized form of the plant which is snorted through the nose, like cocaine. My great grandmother used to snuff. She lived into her late 90's, too - just sayin'. Snuff is also a word that means "extinguish (a candle)." It is often used as a word for "kill." For example, "snuff videos" are videos which depict an actual murder.

[@originalbillyspeed1]

Or a staged video designed to look like an actual murder.

[@nlindste]

The video is about a man (played by Corey Taylor) who has broken up with his girlfriend, but is truly obsessed with her. The man enters the woman's apartment, smelling things with her scent on it. He then notices on the television a tape that he and the woman had made, and then collapses on to the woman's bed. As she walks out the door, she doesn't notice the man lying on her bed. The man then dives out after her, but she has already gone to visit a neighbor. Going back in, he sits at a table and holds a wine glass that she was drinking from. The glass shatters in his hands and the man goes into a rage, throwing things around and screaming. The video ends with the man cross dressed as his ex and exiting the corridor, revealing it was the man who had exited the apartment and not the woman; the concierge, not seeing the difference, walks back along the corridor whistling the tune to the song.

[@karenlandon5332]

Heaviest Slipknot song.

[@martinsharrett1872]

Someone correct me if im wrong. But the video was made for the movie this song was on the sound track for. I think thats correct. Which is why you recognize the actor. The imagery does fit somewhat with the song though some of the stuff you directly reacted to i "think" were directly pulled from the movie? Can anyone confirm that? I think thats accurate... But yes, the song on its own is very powerful and something pretty much everyone can relate to on some level. One thing that has always kept me hooked with rock music. You can turn on a random rock station and listen to it for an hour and never hear two songs about the same topic being told from the same point of view.

[@rayhs1984]

"Snuff" is inhalable tobacco. No one uses it and is never caught on. Snuff is also a fictional porn genre of killing people for sexual gratification. This song refers to "snuff out" meaning to kill or extinguish. The narrator's relationship is over through either being dumped or her dieing and the only was to stay with her was to become her. So he dresses as his ex and lives her life to keep her alive/in his life.
