🎵 Slipknot Wait and Bleed Reaction | First Time Hearing Slipknot

This is our first time listening to Slipknot. We surveyed our Discord & live chat, and Wait and Bleed was the consensus. This is a little out of Brad's comfort zone, but it's right in Lex's wheelhouse.

"Where do I bounce from???!!!" 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@ellaphx]

This guy is my spirit animal lol.

[@Ladramar]

"Yes" lol that was the answer

[@lafamilia1166]

I think the right answer is feel the music don't analyze the lyrics , it's freakin Metal 😀

[@borisbadenov9863]

He might need to see a chiropractor. Loosen those shoulders up a little, and let it happen.

[@ryancaldwell7647]

From your heart bro haha

[@chrishill7088]

Lex just discovered her inner metal head........Brad looks concerned the whole time...lol.

[@uravgtrader8392]

Control freaks tend to do that. Embrace her change.

[@bigz5262]

He’s just trying to analyze the lyrics

[@Mistake_Not]

I love the role reversal... Lex is catching it all and Brad just looks lost

[@jasminemorales5415]

lol he does looked concerned the whole time!! 😂😂😂😂

[@BobBigWheels]

He's in his head and she is enjoying the music as well.

[@wolfganghumboldt4830]

"The song’s about that switch in your head that can go at any moment. You go from being a civilized human being to someone who can commit terrible acts. I’ve always been fascinated by the fact we represent ourselves as civilized when, at any moment, we can become animals." Corey Taylor, vocalist of Slipknot

[@brunomarandini9149]

Nice! Should have more likes for them to read this.

[@snailman4395]

dang i just posted a comment saying that its about a dude killing himself in a bathtub based off the multiple interviews i've read and seen.

[@stirl]

@@snailman4395 Yessir! That's exactly how I remember Clown breaking this song down. It's a 23 year old memory, but yes, Clown said this song was about slitting your wrists in a bathtub and waiting to bleed out.

[@shawnwacek6791]

100% correct and 100% true

[@medebarr]

Welcome to the world of being a police officer.

[@JBlair-87]

She has to be the most intelligent reactor I’ve ever watched on KZbin

[@mikmook4781]

Yep. Wasn't expecting the word 'metaphysical' in a Slipknot reaction. As well as speaking intelligently she gets it. Slipknot are sometimes best appreciated by feeling it rather than analysing it. Not that the lyrics don't have meaning but the first time you hear this song it's a lot to take in. She both got it and talked intelligently about what it might mean. You've done fucking well for yourself there Brad.

[@rickchambo3545]

She's up there With George from Lost in Vegas! 👌

[@jen.g.]

Lex is a metalhead now. That’s it. It’s certified. 🤘🏻🖤

[@amphibeingmcshpongletron5026]

Jen G the OG! I swear our algorithms are the same! lol

[@felipephillipo1519]

Omfg seeing Lex just rocking out to this honestly made my eyes watery... her excitement seems to be exactly the same excitement I felt the first time I heard this song back when I was 13 maybe 14.. I wish I could go back and listen to all my favorite music for the first time all over again and honestly felt that I did vicariously through Lex.. don't mean to be weird it's just an awesome experience and I love both of you guys...

[@raymondkoenen8957]

YES! It was the first Slipknot song I heard, and was around the same age as well. That is exactly why I love reaction channels, you get a small part of that feeling of the first time you heard something.

[@felipephillipo1519]

@@raymondkoenen8957 Yeah I absolutely agree. I just haven't seen a first time reaction to slipknot that seems as genuine as hers. The headbop, the stink face, the mouthing of lyrics, the clenched fists. It's all too relatable. And the fact that Brad is just staring at the screen like tf, the same way my parents would be trying to understand the things I liked... perfect. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@juicesghost8501]

Same. She seems genuinely excited its great. Remember hearing wait and bleed for the first time? It was just like that.

[@mattmarcotte5476]

Similar age.. Twas magical.

[@kayalua]

Same i teared up literally

[@spunterage]

Lex is emerging from her musical cocoon as a kickass metallic butterfly.

[@slightlyabveaverage4059]

She decoded more about the songs meaning in her first listen than I have in my entire life, and I've known this song since 9th grade... I'm 27 now.. I can't help but have mad respect for that, first time coming across the channel and now I'm motivated to explore it more. And the guys utter confusion was pretty hilarious while she's just over there living her best life

[@frowjah]

I thought the same thing, wonderful insight

[@Mookaton]

I've listened to this song many times since it was released. I'm not huge on lyrics and meanings of songs buuuut...until this very moment I thought it was about an old girlfriend of his named Michelle....

[@Hi_Chris]

2 person mosh pit right there on the couch 🤘🏼 Lex is having a full on metal awakening 😂 and Brad, where do you bounce from? You bounce from your soul 🤣🤣🤣

[@jdrazz52]

It brought me back to the days of Beavis & Butthead🤘🏻Lex is def Beavis🤣🤣! Classic🖤

[@selder03]

Yes! She gets it!

[@juicesghost8501]

DUDE OUT HERE HAVING TO BE SHOWN HOW TO HEADBANG. Thank god you have her to show you the way. Just follow her dude, she's a natural.

[@Short_Fuse_]

RELATIONSHIP GOALS

[@hypergreedgaming9590]

Quite literally just close your eyes and let that music move you

[@uglyasyou5272]

I absolutely loved watching this happen. To see the metal head in Lex awaken was amazing, and to see Brad quit analyzing and finally just feel it, ending with a growl. Thank you guys!

[@Justin-nq6kf]

Lex is a natural born metalhead she hears and feels it

[@sharinglungs3226]

His wife’s reaction is always so fun, energetic and full of positivity.

[@Shoutinthewind]

“Where do I bounce from” 🤣🤣😂🤣

[@alittleaccurate3080]

Please keep going with Slipknot, you will not regret it. They’re amazing for getting into heavy shit.

[@sometalhead]

That is so true. I went from Korn and SOAD to Slipknot and L.O.G...ended up with black metal.

[@barackobama6105]

Facts I went from slipknot to Korn and deftones to metalcore then deathcore and death metal and then black metal

[@bdwinter72]

this is probably the most adorable reaction to wait and bleed ive ever seen

[@mluna1271]

When she said "bounce with me" not knowing that slipknot jumped up and down like madmen during that last part back in the day. So awesome

[@dudleyhamby2029]

Baby Girl, this music was made for YOU!!!!! I absolutely love watching you two.There is SO much great metal music. Keep digging!!!!

[@vegasviking86]

Slipknot - Spit It Out (Live at Download) is a must! 🤘🏻

[@profboyzy1015]

[@jen.g.]

[@maestroblloyd]

Best example of crowd control EVER.

[@captaincaveman8532]

This is what convinced me that I had to go to a show immediately!

[@JC-sr9zf]

Absolutely! This needs to happen!

[@Everyoneslapdance]

Nu metal is the perfect genre to transition from hip hop to metal and the other way around. It's amazing

[@captainjojojonasjonathanjo7607]

For me nu metal is perfect. Not too soft, not to heavy... it really hits the sweetspot

[@thatguy1477]

“It’s like a rollercoaster” - Exactly! Sometimes when you really feel the music it can be a release for pent up frustration from work problems, money problems, life problems etc. Its like reconnecting to that primal energy that we all still have deep down, if that makes sense.

[@maestroblloyd]

I used to think Lex was a closet metal-head. NOPE! That door is WIDE open and she's full metal. Like some Iron Man sh*t. Lol Much love you guys.

[@manwithtwoeyes6911]

Lex is such a natural metalhead! Love it!

[@inkednpierced4u53]

LEX IS SUCH A METALHEAD! I love it! Watched her just rock out to all the metal songs now. She is a gem.

[@tmakster]

Lex is a trip....just love watching her face and body when reacting to Metal.....lol

[@dontreadonme5331]

I gotta say I called it from the start! Lex is a total metal head and she has decades to catch up on 😂 I friggin LOVE IT!

[@The1988alex]

It's always great to see someone (Lex) realize that they were always a diehard metal fan all along haha!!! You guys have to do all the Slipknot, Pantera, Lamb of God the list goes on and on. More Jinjer and Falling in Reverse too haha!

[@Mandy-nt2cs]

This has been one of my favorite song forever lol I think I just fell in love with it again watching her lol !

[@joaoaugustolandim]

This was THE MOST joyful reaction I've ever seen. I'm already a fan!!!

[@kaigequotskyva9640]

breaking cultural bariers one song at a time

[@dizzysic2587]

Oh man... this is gonna be an epic rabbit hole. ✌🤘💙 The bounce comes from the diaphragm, your center.. let it rise into your shoulders, neck, and head.. let the emotion and music guide your movements.. vibe to it, then bop.. evolving to headbanging, bodybanging, etc. It's free-form hype.

[@weiirdOzdotFU]

[@johnhusenitaii7001]

Idk if yall are ready for slipknot, they only get better and better with with every album, Corey Taylor has a way with words.

[@jes7574]

I think you need to listen to Duality, then calm down and listen to Circle and Vermillion Parts 1 and 2

[@saadesigner07]

Slipknot has aged like a fine wine. Heavy and angry for my High School years, mellow and melodic for my adult years. Perfect band for my age group.

[@daniellysohirka5079]

i personally think their self title was their best, they met a slow decline after that.

[@krisgoyvaerts5284]

If you like pop rock, sure

Someone is getting the metal vibes. ❤❤🔥❤❤

[@MrBoomSkate]

I love the discussion actually trying to understand the meaning of these. Makes me think about what I've missed in music before

[@criimsontale]

I'm still so amazed at Lex just being so analytical and spot on with the inspirations of some of these songs... It's dope!

[@mrsmora4]

I love that Brad always catches Tom MacDonald's bars...BUT Lex killed this reaction and breakdown. I love it!

Don't want to sound weird but Lex is giving me goosebumps ahahah Watching her react to all those Metal songs is the closest it feels to listen to them for the first time again, and it's so heartwarming too :)

[@BradAndLex]

Wowww i never thought about it like that!!

[@FlipperWolf]

@@BradAndLex I really think that's a big part of why Reaction videos are so popular, it's really a way to either discover new music along with the youtuber, or experience a song you already know but through a new perspective, and that feeling is very close to the one of discovering it for the first time again :D Anyway thanks for answering, I'll follow your channel closely :) Cheers from France :D

When you both started to bounce and get into it that was so cool and absolutely adorable! Glad you guys go into it! Lexi is so energetic! Loved your reactions to this!

[@Mybassgruvin]

Yessss...Slipknot is very innovative, that's what put them on the scene and made them stand out from the rest, it's also why they are still around after almost 20 years playing great music.

[@davidpowell2356]

[@jamellelangfordiii3586]

Crazy how things you never thought you would like become something you enjoy.

[@justinwilder3514]

I very much enjoy watching people from different cultures and walks in life react to other cultures, people who are rap fans listening to metal, metal heads reacting to hip hop, both listening to country, broadening horizons in music is beautiful because we need that variety.

[@jeffgo5742]

Lex you’re extremely smart and I love seeing your joy in listening to the music

[@mr.bubbles2925]

Woah, Lex really connects and understands this type of poetry. She's crazy!

[@mendronesg]

their lyrics are very poetic, though they're very agressive

[@D0CI87PC]

Wow, Brad is the son of one my mates from grad school. Carbon copy....wicked smart, reserved, introspective, and analytical. Lex, I agree with everyone. Your inner metalhead has emerged.

[@davidghizzoni6796]

i always felt that Metal as a genre took all the hate, anger, pain, and suffering that lay just under the surface of each and every one of us, and let it explode out in 3-9 minuets of glorious catharsis.

[@BradAndLex]

That’s a great way to put it haha

[@Scyllaya]

Yes, metal is just not the same without headbanging. Great reaction.

[@mr.handbones9591]

Lex's reactions made me smile hard. Reminded me of my mom hearing this 20 years ago for the first time.

[@mariettaconcha3198]

This is my absolute favorite reaction from you guys! The conversation about how to bounce had me cracking up, and then the smiles and laughs while bouncing around together made me smile! You guys are too awesome!

[@patmullen7597]

This was a truly epic reaction. So many reaction videos rarely appreciate the music and the lyrics. Lex's breakdown of the lyrics was really thoughtful and deep. I also never stop loving watching someone fully lose themselves to metal for the first time and experience the high we chase the rest of our lives. The thing with metal compared to drugs is sometimes the high is even better then next time when you hear that next bad ass track from another metal band. Keep going guys. This was awesome to watch.

[@TH-gq5op]

She gets metal not for everyone but it gets me hype more than any other music

[@BakerStreetShootout]

Ok ok ok, but now you’ve gotta do “Devil in I”, “Snuff”, “psychosocial”, “duality”, “before I forget”, and “unsainted”. Yes they change their masks every album. Usually the single from the new album is how they reveal the new mask, usually it involves them shedding their old selves to reveal the new.

The great thing about Slipknot is you can interpret their songs any way you want. I have listened to a song from them after a relationship ended and felt one way and later listened to that exact same song and was empowered by how I interpreted it at that point. A truly amazing band and loyal to their fans ( which are lovingly called Maggots BTW)

People say it's about Corey Taylor when he was young and was molested and it's him letting out the rage over it I'd have to agree with it after reading his books. Welcome to the maggots. (What Slipknot fans have been called since the late 90's early 2000's.)
