Slipknot: The Heretic Anthem - Live on Conan - 2001

[@thecalicowolf]

One of the most metal moments in television history. I remember seeing this when it aired and the look on my parents faces. lol

[@jottaz144]

This is not metal. You probably dont know what real metal is.

[@bigupliquidchilli8709]

jottaz1 It's Nu-Metal. Nu-METAL. Dipshit.

[@jottaz144]

No Dipshit. Im sorry as it clearly hurt your feelings. But Nu-Metal is not a form of metal and its not true metal. Its the same genre as limp bizkit and pappa roach, and its made only to sell. Thats why all the nu metal bands are sellouts, just like slipknot who went from being hard to singing melodic progressive pussy rock. Its not me who says it, its the whole real metal culture. They shun Nu metal bands. I like slipknot, but i dont care facing the reality.

I heard they were supposed to play Left Behind because it was a bit more "radio friendly", surely this pissed the band off, so they went with the most badass comeback they could do with this song. No s**ts given.

The best drummer of all time 😭

[@bunchamp85]

Paul too. 2 legends

[@JockyCGE]

Fun Fact: Those weren't cheers at the end, those were screams of terror. The clapping was just stock sounds 😂

[@thegoldencross2004]

Probably, but if that's true, then they don't know great music

[@TunerGuy_90]

The Slipknot Disasterpiece Dvd is the best concert EVER recorded. They just captured that violence, hate, and aggression so well. I don't think there is any other band that will ever top Slipknots self titled, and Iowa album.

[@RMMaryport]

Pull your head out of your arse

[@pianistor555]

In attitude and aggression it's really hard to top. But the music itself it's debatable, there are plenty of satanic death metal /black metal bands that sound darker and heavier.

[@JoelFilizzola]

And Corey's voice in that DVD... Pfffff, pure gold!

[@Rivera445]

Happy Gilmore accomplished that feat no more than an hour ago.

Why must we grow old????? Still hands down the best band ever live and studio!! A Scary Metal Machine!!!!!

[@mapavlikify]

Sorry man, seen them 5 times from 04 on and tool 6 times from 06 on, Slipknot couldn't pack Tools lunch live or in studio. They are good, but no where near the best

[@briancerundolo]

The shot at 3:13 gives me chills every time

[@RSVskynet]

me too bro, me too... this is the first Slipknot video i saw...still have goosebumps

[@Bawbag0110]

I'm guessing they didnt have space for the percussion drums 🤣

Oh for sure. Its Definitely different sounding as well. But it still bangs hard as all fuck!

[@goatgaming3956]

[@Ebiru2387]

They did. A year before they did wait and bleed on Conan with the drums for Chris and Clown. This song just doesnt call for it.

[@JdDiehl]

Slipknot honestly sounds better without them...

[@thrashtroids]

Thanks for the great feedback everybody! Never thought I'd get this many views and comments! It's cool to see how nostalgic this video is to this many people... I can't believe some of you guys recorded the original airing on VHS! Anyway Stay (Sic) \m/

thrashtroids- I remember the night this aired, i was a 20yr old insomniac watching Conan at 1am, I'm getting old lol. This was/is the best tv show band performance I've ever seen, I never thought I'd get to see it again, AWESOME!

[@chromegnats]

I had it recorded on a VHS tape for years

[@OneCentWonder]

Crazy to think Jay Weinberg met the band here, joined the band a little over a decade later, and now has left the band

[@mikabass]

This is their best performance ever in my opinion, They where at the height of their popularity and hated one another, plus this was right before they all started making money so that hunger in there was added, plus this puts to rest their use of lights, fog and other live special efx, as a crutch, just them their instruments and a audience that was 30 feet away.

[@acemusic8060]

People=shit in Tokyo during the Iowa period is my favorite performance.

[@mikabass]

oh man hell yeah thats up there in my favs too! rock on!

[@johnholmeswebb8162]

Right? thats what makes this performance so special. i would watch this over and over and over again. i had a vhs tape just filles with music acts from Conan and snl from 96-2001. i had so many good performances.

[@noyb0217]

Why did they hate each other

[@ChaosX]

Craig plays half of the samples of every song as well as sid, lmfao. they play a important role in the inside elements of a song that can't be interpreted in physical form.

[@R0B3RTP4UL50N]

I'd say that's probably the heaviest shit that's ever graced a nationally broadcast syndicated show. It has to be.

I remember watching this, when Conan introduced them he said "up next is the loudest band we've ever had on late night with Conan O'Brien!" ROFL

[@ToyLatrine]

Man seeing this again after so many years brings back memories. What a fun time it’s been being a slipknot fan. RIP #1... you legend

[@ac311205]

Always amazing to me to see music like this played live on a popular tv show. It’s just pop and backpack kids now. Man the good old days haha

[@jerryfick4523]

It’s crazy how this performance sounds really close to the record version. Every other one I’ve ever listened to Corey sounds like he’s outta breath or winded. Can’t blame him though. Knot4life

[@plutonium120]

this might be my favorite slipknot vid ever.

[@coolcoconuts4453]

I'll tell you what playing a song that razor sharp whilst going as fucking nuts as they do on stage is a stupidly underrated talent, I've tried so many times to play their songs on both guitar and bass whilst headbanging as hard as they did back in the day and I have no clue how they did whilst sounding so fucking good live

[@wightclaudia]

there’s your magic answer to why several of them had neck / back surgeries

[@fe5018]

03:44 Am I the only one finding that Clown and Sid/0 moment utterly endearing and unexpected?

[@june-vz4rm]

Clown played a pretty integral part to Sid getting accepted into the band. In other words, Sid headbutted Clown and knocked him on his ass.

[@binnikey]

Anyone else started to head bang at 3:13 ?

[@Skeware]

I started to headbang to this particular song in 2001, so answering your question, yes.

[@Pattorihanzo]

I think I remember watching this performance on TV. This was also the same year that some friends and I attended the FMX Firecracker Five in Lubbock, Texas. Slipknot, Linkin Park, Mudvayne, Papa Roach and Disturbed all put on one hell of a show.

So we have Slipknot here tonight, everybody!
