[@ElSistemaCL]

Imagine being a teenager in 2006 , with a crush on someone who does not give a damn about you, and hearing this song.

[@dsev9574]

I sadly relate to this comment way too much lol

[@jonnyb2020]

I remember it all too well 😂

[@chadwickmcfaggins9734]

im a creeeeep im a weirdoo

[@stevenference5284]

Inagine listening to part 2

[@havocdevelopment6142]

Get out of my head

[@EMANUEL-vt8ok]

The longer version is better because we have the screams in the outro.

[@guavazombie4107]

And a longer guitar solo

[@daninda1665]

I was gonna mention... I havent heard vermilion in a while and this sounded a bit off...

[@wetnightmare6661]

yes I was going to say this. The outro kinda ends abruptly on this version. The longer outro is perfect

[@arik3394]

The “she isn’t real” screams and emotion that goes into them changes and colors the entire song for me

[@666Lycan]

So agree with this... The last part of this song is the best!

[@voidcat1638]

I'm glad Paul's bass was noticed

[@Veganerd_]

Yeah, when he mentioned and said "can't believe I said that" I was like bruh, you know Paul Grey was a fucking god! And he probably knows that Paul wrote a lot of Slipknot songs..

[@oni6574]

@@Veganerd_ yeah man, rip Paul🤘

[@killar1one]

it was pretty sad hearing the band play this in concerts from 2010-2014, the bass makes this song and without it the song felt naked

[@TheseBitchesWantNikes]

Same. He was such an underrated bassist. And this song has some of his best work.

[@chrisyounes9281]

I really like alot of slipknot songs that people kinda sleep on. This is definitely one of em. They do a great job with the dark, haunting songs like Vermilion, like Killpop, spiders etc etc.

[@backbone666]

Spiders is such an under rated song

[@CataclysmicDuck]

@@backbone666 bruh spiders is the shit

[@havocdevelopment6142]

Spiders is cool!. One of my faves that people generally sleep on is new abortion. Chonk....

[@ethanriley2271]

I love spiders

[@30LayersOfKevlar]

Right? When someone says Slipknot, I will admit first thing that pops into my mind is Duality.

[@Ajayen--]

"Gehenna" is by far one their most underrated songs and worth a listen.

[@brandon_png9743]

Great song, I remember seeing Loudwire say it was their worst song??? Either way there's a lot of good tracks on AHIG.

[@rruzgarr97]

For real. Iirc corey said that the vocals he did on that song even creeped himself out at that point

[@papajubjub8139]

@@brandon_png9743loud wire ant always really accurate I would not say the song is Legendury but I personally think it’s really good and a lot of other people like it too

[@joandrumz3176]

I agree, very underrated. Love the shit out of that song.

[@papajubjub8139]

@@joandrumz3176 yeah it’s peaceful but hunting at the same time

[@TarAnarion]

"That bass". Yeah...that bass. RIP Paul, I still miss him.

[@mikebeverborg2769]

all the maggots miss him and Joey 😞

[@Nocturnecreedminis]

Man that got me into wanting to play bass. So underrated. His work is so slept on!

[@whitebaitbigfoot]

Now you’ve gotta do vermillion part 2! Them feels

[@casekuchenowo6673]

Maybe I'll start an never ending conversation, but why do people think he's trolling? It's totally possible, that he really hasn't listened to this song.

[@A_Little_Piece_Of_Music]

Rick Beato, Misha Mansoor, and Tosin Abasi were talking with Tim Henson and were shocked to hear he had never the black album! They couldn’t believe he had played guitar for that long, and had somehow never heard the black album.

[@RevengedScar]

its kinda impossible, youtube, deezer, spotify, and other services of its kind, recommend songs to you around the music genre u've been listening to.

[@connorpotasse4203]

I mean he’s getting sponsored by Live Nation now, and they have a big stake in Knotfest Roadshow or the soon-to-be-reannounced Knot Cruise. I imagine he took a nice pay check to “react” to an old Slipknot song. I have a hard time believing that the guy who learned all the songs from Slipknot’s newest album the week it came out doesn’t know one of their most popular slow songs.

[@wolfcreatedstudios1228]

Ive never listened to this song either and ive been in this genre for a while

[@infectedjinjer]

There's music and songs and albums from a shit ton of bands I've never heard, even popular ones, hell for example, I've never listened to any Metallica albums and don't really want to. So it is possible to not hear every song or band. People are just 🤦‍♂️

[@TheErazar]

Oh, so you don't really know a lot of older songs? That's a lot of material for reactions!

[@samwisegamgee3481]

Proud to say I have their entire discography

[@gaminggizmos8570]

Dude posted 500 riffs video and then he says he doesn't know old songs ? Sure. Sure.

[@TheErazar]

@@gaminggizmos8570 I agree it seems strange, especially considering his frequent mentions of IOWA in his StP videos. I just don't see a reason to lie for him. Other people doing reactions just mention that they heard the song a long time ago and want to react and analyze it now

[@ShymNoiz]

He is a liar

[@vicx1218]

Yall act like he has to know the whole discography of a band to actually be a fan. Not everyone goes through a full album. Some will go for specific or popular songs and that's just fine. I've heard this song too for the first time like 2 months ago and I've known slipknot for years but never got that much into them before. It's not like he's reacting to songs like smells like teen spirit or stuff like that lol.

[@mustaard_cat]

Never realized how progressively unique this song was until now, it goes from this haunting obsessiveness that just slowly trickles down into a sad realization that what you wanted for such a long time never existed in the first place. Which is what I think. Thanks for sharing this song Nik, it brought back some fond memories while growing up as a kid. 🔥

[@EzPulsy]

The Blister Exists is another great song from this album. Purity from the selftitled if you haven't heard it may be my fav slipknot song

[@strijkspray4753]

Truth, my altime fav

[@Odinson_89]

I love seeing people discover old Slipknot. Reminds me of being 15 years old back in 2005. We want full album listen through of Slipknot discography.

[@Quiltfish]

>Old Slipknot Now **I** feel old. Full discography would be awesome but feels unlikely, I'd settle for at least Eyeless.

[@z3roshark]

@@Quiltfish I had the same reaction haha, Vol. 3 being "old" Slipknot is such a strange concept that I'm still not ready for.

[@Quiltfish]

@@z3roshark Paul and Joey are still alive, Chris is still in, Sid has a gas mask fetish and Ghostglow is Corey's latest mask. Let me live in nostalgia, I like it here.

[@z3roshark]

@@Quiltfish this made me sad, RIP to the homies

[@thestu059]

He didn't discover it, he clearly knows this song. He is a moron. And you are too for not seeing that

[@BullseyeBobE]

Pt 2 is really good too! Basically a slowerm chiller version of this one. One of my fave slipknot joints

[@derubermensch2876]

bloodstone mix of this song is better imo. the original is still beautiful tho, but that mix has what the original lacks

[@mishapashchenko6518]

Probably one of my favorite songs by Slipknot, that one line when Corey says I want let this build up inside of me for some weird reason brings back like memories, even though i didn’t start listening to Slipknot in August 2020.

[@mishapashchenko6518]

@Crusade Music Oops, just noticed! Lol!

[@trogdorman121]

I've seen them play this live twice. Probably one of their best live songs.

[@Ryuzaki1988]

Definitely check out the longer version of Vermilion, personally I felt that version flows much better than the music video version. While you are at it, might as well continue on and check out Vermilion part 2 😉

[@woe_]

Subliminal Verses is my favorite album by far. I could listen to it start to finish and it feels like it's packed with emotion and some of their best work.. even though the story behind the album is basically the complete opposite.

[@82nd_jumpmaster53]

This entire album is excellent!

[@kw9801]

How could he not have heard this song in the past 17 years?! I don't want to imagine life without this masterpiece 😰

[@panterarocks9326]

Vermillion part 2 is my favorite. Might get hate for that but I love it. Love them both

[@jordanmckay7037]

I played part 2 to death after my first breakup. Such an angsty teenage boy moment.

[@SparkimusPrime]

@@jordanmckay7037 Same

[@gabrielpiscopo3916]

Vermilion part 2 has twice as many views as well as streams so it's definitely not an unpopular opinion that Vermilion part 2 is better.

[@DeathMachineJoe]

First off, you haven't heard this Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses?! Easily one of their best albums. You need to listen to more albums dude. Wished you reacted to the album version though since the radio edit cuts out so much, including the final scream towards the end which really is the icing on the cake. It also builds a lot better throughout. Also, thanks for giving the bass some credit considering Paul Grey was fantastic. I still miss him and Joey.

[@sh4rpys]

Vol 3 is my least favourite album from them

[@eduardojesusdalpizzol1491]

@@sh4rpys yeah, IOWA and self titled are way better, but vol 3 is good too

[@sh4rpys]

@@eduardojesusdalpizzol1491 Yeah it is good, but not THAT good

[@neoshida]

Vol 3 are more commercial sounding.. But their songwriting also improve a lot

[@ferrisconfines]

@@sh4rpys I find it's their most experimental album sound wise, with songs like vermillion and virus of life. I personally love it but it definitely doesn't have much of the classic slipknot sound aside from a few tracks

[@skypiercer13]

Vol. 3 is still my favorite!

[@xxxxxbreakdownxxxxx]

Same !

[@Kotsoros37]

What an amazing track, the longer version even better, nice to hear it again it's been a while!

[@hotshot0476]

If you haven't heard disasterpiece you gotta do that one live at London 2002. Their tracks gently, scissors, get this, prosthetics are all amazing.

[@communist750]

I am Hated is really good

[@EclipseCarnage1582]

You NEED to listen to the uncut version!

[@Kamanberu49]

I thought that the music was different, it disturbed me 😂

[@pasza_dem]

Yes, one of the best songs by Slipknot, and it's definitely have some progressive twist to it:) and it has solo, that's very rare for Slipknot.

[@murmaiderx-1654]

Such a masterpiece this track is, video, lyrics, the ambience in this track it's like a void, like going on a rollercoaster.

[@TheDMC4Dante]

You should listen to the album version, it's much cooler

[@Chelsbells012]

Awesome! I watched them perform this last night and man it was great!!! I love this song!

[@warworldme]

This is by far in my top 3 slipknot songs, the feels are over flooding and the melodies are just AWESOME.

[@Andrew-xf3wb]

Waiting to get in and see the knotfest road show right NOW LETS GOOOOO!!!

[@bertieblack5639]

I mean, you're just gonna have to do Part 2 now. Perfect compliment to this song.

[@Swollen_Goat]

Vol. 3 will always be my favorite album by them. My brother got this when it came out and I used to fall asleep listening to it in middle school woth my sony discman. Still amazing album. Every song bangs.

[@Mattss90]

Absolutely blown away he’s never heard this song until now...

[@yerbamate91]

yeahh do more slipknot! great video!

Nik for whichever slipknot songs you haven't heard, for whatever reason, REACT TO LITERALLY ALL OF THEM PLS TY xD

[@milosparico3889]

This is one of my favorite songs ever I hope from the bottom of my heart that they play it at the knotfest in brazil

Bro same it was fucking wild 🤘

[@greengirly13]

Love this, I've listened to Slipknot since 2004 so you listening to it I was like showing a friend Slipknot the first time and not sure if they'd like it. lol

[@ianmcpeck424]

I'm not typically a fan of talking singing, but it fits SO WELL for this song. Love this song. I get the 'there's too much music' mentality because even though I love this song I haven't listened to it as much as I should.

[@DoublebrutalCS2]

Easily my favorite Slipknot song cool to see you get straight into it. The fact you hadn't heard it was surprising but reminds me of the feeling of wanting to hear all really good metal and not wanting to miss any gems, but they don't always come up in recommended or in friend circles so you gotta keep searching.

[@mattlathandrums]

Says “good hi-hat work” during open quarter notes 😂 love your vids Nik 🤙🏼

[@LoganRonin-vn2we]

The end of the album version still gives me chills, it's so powerful and sorrowful in a way I can't explain. I'm going to go and listen to it again.

[@robertmillison8933]

I saw them last Tuesday. Such a great show.

[@Scarafterscar20]

Dude..Vermillion Pt2🖤 MUST

[@NicDunn]

Never heard vermilion before this video? Idk how that’s possible but glad you got to it, love this song

[@ClaraScarangella]

Vol 3 the subliminal verses will forever be my favourite album! I'm so glad you checked this track out, i didn't see it comming!

[@BathoryDusk]

Love this one. Def one of the best off the album.

[@benjcheffifa972]

I still remember when i listened to vermillion back in 2004 using my discman. Still such a great song.

This is for sure in my top three. Glad you checked out another classic!🤘🏻

[@oldfan4049]

WAIT...?!?!?!?!?! You haven't heard this song on release??!?!?! o0 HOW?! One of the greatest songs by Slipknot 🤘

[@daniellake4133]

Grew up listening to slipknot. Surprised you’re not familiar with old slipknot. Need to catch up on the classics. You always catch me up on the newer bands and I appreciate your videos 🤟

[@invadertimn3517]

Yes the longer version has the full Mick solo too.

[@t.y3t5f73]

We need part 2

[@jrmundgandr9539]

Part 2 is my fav but this hits so good

[@christopherredou9674]

I going to see slipknot on the 29th so excited first of there concerts for me

[@itsdioxide7190]

my favorite thing about this song is the transition at the end that flows perfectly into pulse of the maggots, which in my opinion is the albums best song. but seriously the transition is so clean it’s like so pink floyd level shit

[@viditjain2653]

You have to do Vermilion pt 2!

[@JoshBrowardTVyea]

I love the group vocal sections. Reminds me of Chorus of Angels by Haste the Day (same sort of era)

[@PetarBladeStrok]

Their old songs are the best, so I'm super hyped for you to check them out.

[@billschinken6764]

One of my favorites.

[@thomasegner6111]

dope haircut bro👍

[@nubsmcthiccc]

Vermillion pt 2 is one of my favorite slow songs

[@Mammo_NZ]

Pulse of the maggots is an underrated banger off the album. The blister exists is great too. Great use of a keg live too.

[@jeroen0011]

Vermillion has always been and still is one of my most favourite slipknot songs ever, the studio version with full solo and def the 'she isen't real screaming ending' is even much better than the video version, that ending sounds soo heavy, desperate and emotional all at once and in this version it weirdly ends and gets soft without reaching it's summit soo even if it's only a bit shorter it makes alot of difference for me, please check the full version if u only heard this one before

[@TheWarriorXander]

So many hours spent listening to this in my younger years, I love the whole album. Not sure if it's true, but I love the story of how Corey wrote the lyrics for this album, where critics were saying he couldn't write good song lyrics and only used curse words and foul language, so he went and wrote an entire album without a single curse word in it. It's still one of my all time favourite albums to this day. I love all their stuff though, Maggot for life for sure. Can't wait for the next album.

[@steel.oneill]

Now I feel old

[@RevengedScar]

I love this song man

[@rozzya8437]

This song came out when I was college and I'd stay up late at night to catch the music video on MTV. Its one of my favorite Slipknot songs.

[@Happylink75]

The solo to this made Kirk Hammett very proud of Mick

[@Chopperducky]

I was at Knofest Mansfield 2021 and it was awesome

[@chronoking9920]

[@tyrinparks9429]

i went and saw them in detroit and they didn’t disappoint

[@skinticket]

Give me chills every intro 'cause this is my alarm ring tone. Lol.

[@HeisntLegend]

When i read the title i was like "Oh wow slipknot did a re-release or someone did a cover" but watching you react to this song the same way i did at like 12 years old was really entertaining. Do more of these lol

[@Celtsfan1988]

Vermillion was on subliminal verses vol. 3 from my high school days

[@vMalchez]

I love slipknot, and genuinely have only ever listened to Vermillion Pt.1 maybe once or twice I've listened to Pt.2 hundreds of times.

[@Dante_Darkness]

Hey nik, do you think maybe for one video you could do like a guide on how you put together your plugins and stuff that you use in cubase, and how you use the daw in general? It seems like it would be great to use and since you have so much experience with it and you get a lot of the sounds right on par with what I'd want with my work I'd love to have a deeper dive into how to use it and how you put your sounds together (i.e. midi drums and recording stuff)

[@WilbanksUSMC]

[@blairbird8022]

This is my favourite Slipknot song.
