Slipknot | The Devil in I | Reaction

[@autonomous8108]

someone probably already explained it, but, the song was made after one of their band members and close friends, Paul Grey, died from drinking while on medication. so the song is about getting past all the anger and guilt and grief they felt during this whole process of losing Paul. In the video they decided to show themselves killing themselves while they wore their old masks, symbolizing how they're moving on from the past and becoming comfortable with the future. It's a very deep song and album and I love how they did everything. I'm more into the gore so I enjoyed the video but I can see how it isnt for everyone, like, I wouldnt show that to my mom haha 😂 but I love your videos guys ! love and support from this guy :)

[@Edmundrs3rd]

Clown did a great job directing this one. That man gets a vision and it's awesome.

[@callmewaves1160]

Shawn needs to start directing horror movies. Maybe with Corey's help because he loves horror. I feel like Shawn's visionary and Corey's desire for seeing something new and different but also loving your old school classics would make something terrifying.

[@Bawbag0110]

Didn't realise heroin was classed as a medicine

[@captainpool779]

It wasn't heroine It was prescription drugs

[@callmewaves1160]

@@captainpool779 there was actually multiple medications as well as heroine found scattered around the room that he died in. So it was likely a cocktail of drugs that did it.

[@bobbybeattie4738]

Corey is an amazing vocalist. Glad you guys did this. Not the biggest slip fan now listened to them alot when I was younger but I appreciate the band alot. They are all extremely talented

[@bobbybeattie4738]

You really going to comment just to say that. That's sad

[@bobbybeattie4738]

I subscribed to them because they are two cool people trying to react to new music and I enjoy watching them. No need for that kind of negativity over a word that I lit spelled correctly and my phone changed for me. Blame my phone or millennials but don't bring that negitivity to this channel. No need for it.

[@senorhace4746]

@Dutch van der Linde you need to have Faith Dutch

[@toro55ful]

this video was the second single of the Slipknot last album, here the director and member of the band Shawn Crahan "clown" ask to everybody in the band, what is the most fear way to die they have and he´s put that on the video also the two members in weelchairs in that moment 4 years ago they was the new drummer and bass player, they were stabbed by the other members as a welcome to the band xD Great reaction!!

[@mikemike44163]

I saw the title and thought: "oh no, please don't do this to these nice people," but The Sippingtons surprised me. The most tempered reaction I've yet seen to 'The Devil In I'.

[@wolfgangengel4835]

Awesome. Did not see a Slipknot reaction coming. Nice. 😊

[@Crzserbianguy]

Hey guys I want to give you a little run down on slipknot and the meaning of this song. First off maybe not the best first song givin the meaning behind it but I’m glad you guys enjoyed. So they formed in Des Moines Iowa in the mid 90s but didn’t make it until 2000. There are 9 members who have unique masks representing their own personal fears and personalities. In 2008 one of the founding members Paul Grey (Bass) RIP suddenly passed away and the band almost fell completely apart. This song represents how they are making a new start and by killing themselves they are each letting go of the past. They are then reborn with new masks marking a new era for the band because they decided to move on from the past and keep going. Each death in this represents their worst fears. Except the two new members the drummer and bass player since they don’t have a say yet they get stabbed in representation of the fact that they haven’t earned their way yet. Maybe I’m a little rusty on some of this but I believe someone will correct any errors I have made down below. This band uses a lot of metaphors and symbolism to get very deep messages across but spreads awareness to things such as suicide, abuse, anger issues etc. and they say that their anger and passion with each song is an outlet for those who might be experiencing rejection and anguish by society and by rocking out to these songs makes those people a lot more relaxed and calm. Corey Taylor the singer has a second band called stone sour you guys should check out sometime. It’s a bit more mellow and melodic

[@keithkinkade4265]

Do " Psychosocial " next. " Snuff" is another great one.

[@ashleydixon5050]

I was so excited to see that y’all had a video posted this morning so I get to see y’all before I go to work. I haven’t finished the reaction video yet but I love the smiles on your faces!! 😊 I hope you love the song I love it, it’s one of my favorite of their new songs

[@jen.g.]

Steph head banging to the blast beats. 🖤🤘🏻 Not the best intro to Slipknot, but once again, you guys were still open-minded. Appreciate that. And yes, GO LIVE.

[@samcastilleja4346]

For Paul's family... Tony, Brenna and October. you have a huge metal family that loves all you!!!

[@StephanieLee48]

We love you too🤗

[@timhmetal3499]

You have to understand they are utilizing theatrics much like Alice Cooper, but a few shades darker. If you look for interviews from the lead singer Corey Taylor, he is quite intelligent and outspoken. Corey also sings for another group, Stone Sour. You should check them out to see a more melodic version of Corey Taylor.

[@Animal-lg3sk]

It’s also a song about the conflict between the band and Paul’s wife who blamed them for his death saying they were always with him and could have helped him . The devil in I is her referring to him as a devil. He is saying step inside and you will realize I’m not your devil and also freeing himself from his rage and guilt and telling her I’m not your devil anymore . Hope this helps

[@kat6004]

Duality by slipknot is also amazinggg!

[@jadedramella4859]

YESSSS!!!!

[@TryHardFace]

I love watching people getting into new music they haven't heard before, one of the few things that make me smile.

[@JessicaJones33333]

MORE SLIPKNOT!😍

[@megagengar4089]

yes please

[@michaelhofby]

[@dwally4198]

I'm glad you guys liked this song. It is dope. The video is a little shocking, but it seems like you guys got the context of it for the most part and that the violence is metaphorical. Not all their videos are this wild. I hope you guys try more of their songs since you enjoyed this one!

[@roysegovia961]

I really enjoyed this video! You guys are awesome! Keep on kicking ass!

[@bradwilliams6550]

Y'all are too awesome. Been watching for a few weeks. Finally subscribed. Much love from Tennessee.

[@jasonhoff795]

The band is phenomenal 🙌😍 there message is second to none steph and j are definitely slipknot fans

[@adriangonzales3754]

Hell yea my fav band do slipknot spit it out live 2009 at download

[@Dead-st7ry]

Head bobs going on, glad you had fun with this one! Welcome to the family.

[@joef7949]

These guys bring me back to high school days of spiked hair and jnco jeans haha. As for their greats, wait and bleed, surfacing, disasterpiece, before I forget, spit it out. They have 9 members, all in masks. They are known for their live performances, these dudes fucking rock. And the lead singer is Corey Taylor, he also has another band called stone sour. And also you guys are starting to see all the metaphors that come with the rock/metal genre. Love your reactions

[@joef7949]

Oooooohhh, good good choice. Commenting before watching haha

[@lexxtepegameplays7295]

Keep it up with slipknot! Theyre always best. They keep metal alive! If i see more slipknot reacts would perfect! Prosthetics, AOV, vermilion... great songs by slipknot.

[@Swonder1972]

When all hope is lost, this is the video you make...and projecting anger is a part of metal...so that part will never be "got past"

[@johnmckillip2141]

Love y'alls reaction silpknot is the type of music u can bang ur head to that u give ur self a headace

[@lalalaasneeze]

This literally made me so happy :)

[@crunchv2126]

I love that you guys are so open minded!!!

[@ulf793]

Again just love how you two get into metal!!, keep it up you two are ace.

[@itpennywise1968]

I love SLIPKNOT ⚫❤❤❤

[@xemotionzstudioz1499]

I hope you continue to react to slipknot from time to time, they have a whole arsenal of amazing music

[@mindfuct8862]

Im gonna wait 30 minutes then watch just to savor the moment. Plus Im watching SNL

[@pierremaillet2099]

Bonjour! J'étais entrain d'écouter Sam Cooke: "I was boooorn by the river in a little tent..." ho lala sacré virage avec Slipknot que j'ai écouté juste après. Très bon groupe, une sommité dans le domaine, comme Mr Cooke. Longue vie à Step n Jay!!!

[@TonyTheLoneRiderSmith]

Sweet, thanks for the late night video!

[@crescentfreshsongs]

I've noticed a lot of reactors become Slipknot fans after two or three songs, haha. Surprisingly easy band to get into despite how relatively heavy they are. If I can suggest a personal favorite song: Marilyn Manson - Coma White.

[@MrGrifter123]

I'm not a reactor but basically thats how I became a fan. Listened to a couple songs and I was hooked lol.

[@xtexaschainsawx]

The heavier, the better.

[@rakinetakemi9985]

*raises the horns* good reaction you two

[@akatoshsdisciple2909]

Haha OMG somebody rly wanted too throw u in the deep end with Slipknot they are one of the much heavier ones cos this is tame compared to what that have id personally work ur way through softer stuff first like, Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, Metallica, And Iron Maiden anyway gr8 reaction oh and fun fact their old drummer Joey Jordison got his blood taken the he put it in a bowl and stirred it with his drumsticks and that is why If u ever notice the ends of his sticks are red its cos its his blood lol

[@Teh3aZ]

[@NightcrawlerLuver]

[@Sammyii.]

Yes! So ya were ready .... Ya guys cool

[@michaelhofby]

Fun project you have going on here! Wish you luck

[@raoufjigsaw]

I love how non-judgmental you two are. Salute

[@cobraman897]

Balance and composure-I tore you apart in my head. Or balance and composure- more to me. Keep on keeping on, I always try to catch your vids when I can.

[@loveleaf4187]

I like dat! Holy shit, it's just funny cause those syncopated riffs in metal are just stole from black music anyway, not that music is black or white or purple (well, yes, some music is purple, I'm from Minnesota, Prince.). But yeah, this is a great song, but it's essentially a heavy pop song, very well done. They pretty much comment only on the video.

[@samcastilleja4346]

Hell, yeah!! Go live!!!

[@JohnAdams-do5wc]

Has anyone mentioned yet that the song is The Devil "in" I?

[@bigskitz7686]

You gotta do a reaction video to the live version of this song it's amazing

[@raenafelle6492]

Psychosocial, SNuff and Killpop are a few I'd recommend looking into. Corey Taylor (frontman of Slipknot) also has another band called Stonesour that is well worth checking out. Through Glass would be a good place to start with that band.

[@armandosnuff4387]

Nita Strauss - Pandemonium Nita is most known for being the lead guitarist for Alice Cooper and has released a solo album of instrumentals which is amazing.🤘🎶🎸

[@sureshboult4556]

Thumb's up for this channel 👍

[@Weezor]

Check out sulfur by slipknot

[@DeadFilmStars]

Maybe the best and most involved review of this yet. But, yet... did they get it? Close!

[@mattboselli1099]

Great reaction

[@jasonwirth9989]

This is also when their new album and hence new masks were revealed. They were killing off their old selves (dressed in white) and showing their new masks (dresses in black). Each death represented their biggest fear. The two guys in wheelchairs were new members. You don’t see them playing until they’ve been killed off as well. A lot of symbolism. Sid (the DJ) losing his hands or arms would mean death to a DJ.

[@kennyjewell]

Moral of the story is...If Slipknot invites you to be in a video run.

[@candyman329]

Deftones- Diamond Eyes Or Korn - It’s On! Either or, doesn’t disappoint

[@rolandohinojosa1157]

Your right!

[@Will-re9jl]

I love that y'all love reacting to Slipknot. Check out "Unsainted"

[@habitedvillain5185]

All ima say is... YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Subbed!

[@charliecray5554]

please do a song by godsmack ! ' Devils swing ' Or 'awake' They also do an amazing drum duel live ! Please do one of these !!! :D Love from the UK. :)

[@gamanam7076]

Seeing as this is their most recent album you should check out their 1996 debut album mate feed kill repeat, definitely quite different. Not as refined but still interesting to see their roots(even though they started practicing and writing their songs around 1992-1995)

[@Maradala]

I wish I had the seemingly happy relationship yall seem to have. Damn I see yall always having fun together

[@Myro-vb8hc]

love u guys bro., u guys should do Corey Taylor's snuff live with just him and his acoustic guitar

[@petartheserb7615]

React to Slipknot "spit it out" Live at Download. You'll really see how slipknot is

[@dewaynewalker2430]

Your right about the devil inside themselves and to explain further the song is mostly about change within ourselves and with whomever you may share your life with and the struggles with the relationship or relationships with our selves and who we share time with that's what I think but I may be wrong and to answer your question about going live that would be awesome thank you for the video and as always stay safe

[@callmewaves1160]

That's just slipknot wearing their mask as they have done since the start of their career 🤣 They wear them on stage for the whole concert performance, and the masks they are wearing in this video clip are their most recent, whereas each album they have had different masks. This song though, is probably one of my most favorite. The video clip is about fighting about inner demons and fears (what scares them the most is what they are acting out, the guy eating his own hands is their dj, the connection is losing his hands and not being able to dj anymore kind of thing) Shawn Crahan (band member wearing the clown mask) directed this one.

[@Zedem0n]

Just wanted to say you two ooze love and happiness. Relationship goal for anyone. Have discovered your channel not so long ago and I've never disliked anything I watched from you so far. Genuine, tolerant, funny. Now that I've got this out of my chest, I hope you guys continue this and I hope you eventually meet a succesful benchmark on youtube that would allow you both to ease off the crazy hours you're working (as you said in your previous video). What I would recommend for you to do is a really small background check on either the group and/or the song you're listening to in your reaction video because the best songs in heavy metal or rock are often not so easy to understand because it's got multiple layers and metaphors and whatnot. Show us that, by the end of the reaction, you understand even if a little bit what the song you'd just listened to is all about. That will not keep us from reacting at all I promise :) I'll regurlarly try to comment a recommendation to keep you guys with content :D. For now I'd recommend huuuh let's say Korn - Freak on A Leash followed by Korn - Falling Away from Me They both have clips and both these songs are supposed to be listened one after another (they're connected)

[@sainfalln]

Woot Woot!! Love y’all!!

I've already suggested Avatar to you guys, but thought I would mention them again. They have so many different sounds, I think you guys would appreciate them. I would start with their newer stuff like A Statue of the King or The Eagle Has Landed, and then maybe go back and ease yourself into their older stuff like Black Waltz and Hail The Apocalypse. Thanks for delving into metal, so many people don't give it a chance.

[@philb.6418]

I know its late...but bands like this use the darkest visuals they can to illicit reactions from people. Their music is awesome, brilliant and well produced. The visuals are there to make you cringe or jump around like one of their maggots(concert goers) Corey Taylor is an awesome lyricist, vocalist and musician and is probably one of the nicest people youd ever meet.

[@JohnnyO84]

Not sure if anyone’s explained it to you guys in depth but the guys are killing themselves in symbolic ways. Sid Wilson (0): Ate his own hands and fingers as they are the most important things to him to play his instrument, as he is the band’s DJ. Chris Fehn (3): Picked apart by birds as he is afraid of and hates them. Craig Jones (5): killed by attack dog as he is afraid of them. Shawn Crahan (6): Died as he lived. In the most theatric and insane way possible. Setting yourself on fire and hanging, to capture the madness that is “The Clown” Mick Thomson (7): Is self isolated and tears off his own face to get rid of that layer of himself. Corey Taylor (8): Lead singer, and as such carries the stereotype that lead singers have a big ego or “blown up head” So he literally chose to blow up his own head. Jim Root (4): Not too entirely sure on this one but he did choose full body explosion Jay Weinberg and Alessandro Venturella: Slipknot kept a consistent lineup of the same 9 men from 1999-2014. These two were new members of the band replacing Joey Jordison (1) and Paul Gray (2). As such they were cornered by the band and stabbed repeatedly as a form of initiation.
