[@thecube17]

Something that I would highly, highly, highly recommend reacting to would be Sure is Fun by Shinedown. And if you like that then check out the rest of the album that the song is from

[@sidneyrester6100]

black sabbath iron man is a great song from the inventors of metal

[@lostandleftbehind]

Avenged Sevenfold - A Little Piece Of Heaven. The video can be disturbing to some people, yet the bigger picture is something to be understood. People have compared that song to bohemian rhapsody in its style and how its done. IMO its one of their best songs, also has vocals from REV in it. Have a great day KH!

Props Knox I'm actually pleasantly surprised at how fast u were able to catch Corey's lyrics. Not alot of ppl can do that with Slipknot. Good job bro

[@anthonykaras3713]

I've been listening to this song since it first came out, and having never looked up the lyrics I still didn't know what Corey was saying in a couple lines 😂🤣 definitely impressive.

[@usuallyclueless4477]

This guy caught references in different languages too, so this should be nothing for him.

[@pnshr88]

Lol he studies this stuff, you know it's near to impossible. Pretty sure Corey wasn't even sure..... Hahaha

[@jameslamont6152]

He's got the lyrics pulled up next to the video, watch his eyes and tell me I'm wrong.

[@pnshr88]

Ain't nothing wrong with pre-prepping as long as done right. I mean literally for a full song breakdown we would need prosperity in multiple fields like Psych degrees, be besties with the creator of the music as well as being literal world scholars in every aspect of life. But breaking down just what we've heard into logical thought patterns not actually stating this is what is meant is incredibly helpful and eye opening to understanding the basis of our favorite songs. But like I mentioned, they'res others LBoydish that are like Ahhh this must be what they mean or this plus this has got to be..... Ahhh this is referring to Nino, Pinto and Santa Maria which must mean that jacking pilgrims were into lowtiders with chrome galleys and swabz, that's where the Fast and Furious franchise got its humble beginnings! Tada 🤓🤓🤓🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

I'm a metal head, but I'm also obsessed with lyrics. I wish more people did breakdowns like Knox. I swear to God bro, if you started a metal breakdown channel, you would do VERY well. I'd subscribe to that yesterday.

[@Dragon-tg3ug]

"The rain will kill us all" has a double meaning, not just the potential of pollution making the rain toxic but also the "reign" of the people in power that lead to the continued corruption. Also the limits of the dead is in reference that those who have past can bo longer effect the future and its up to us to make changes. Great video I love your reactions.

[@forcestrong1448]

Corey was also referencing the deadly flooding that happened in Iowa when they were writing this album.

[@garlandleblanc539]

I was about to say that think of it as a reign not rain😂

[@killermetalwolf2843]

i always interpreted it as like nuclear rain (as in a rain of nuclear bombs) or a rain of bullets

[@forcestrong1448]

@@killermetalwolf2843 I think that's a testament to how good a lyricist Corey is. It can mean so many different things to so many different people.

I’ve never heard anyone dissect Corey the way you did. Mad props brother , this was totally enjoyable. Don’t fool yourself brother you are obviously a metal head at heart. A metal breakdown channel would be awesome if you could make that happen I’m in!

Knox’s trained ear for seemingly all types of music is super impressive

[@СосновыеИголки]

he is looking at the lyrics, look at his eyes. but whatever, he i doing great!

[@joelcastro-reyes1667]

I'd love to see him break down Pain Remains 1 by Lorna Shore. But I don't think he's ready. Either for how extreme the sound is or for how devastating the lyrics are.

[@evilfantasy69]

@@СосновыеИголки True. Nobody can catch every lyric or bar on almost every song every time the first time through as often as Knox. There is no way he isn't looking at lyrics either ahead of listening to the song and/or has them pulled up on-screen. He sometimes gives it away in his video titles. "First time watching" = He has heard it before but not watched the video. "First time reacting to" = He has read the lyrics. Stuff like that. Misinterpreting lyrics is part of music. It's impossible that someone can always hear the exact lyric almost every time. Not to mention know so many references on such a wide variety of pop culture and history (epic rap battles).

[@СосновыеИголки]

@@evilfantasy69 btw I don’t blame him, he is doing a great job!

[@evilfantasy69]

@@СосновыеИголки Yes his breakdowns are great. I would just prefer he be 100% honest with us. The Charismatic Voice is also great but she often says she looks at the lyrics before listening so she doesn't miss anything or get confused.

[@poesenpai6475]

Corey is an amazing lyricist the way he puts everything together. I find it funny how so many people look at metal music and think its nothing but "meaningless screaming" lol

[@KnoxHill]

Haha well you know as an MC lyrics are super important to me. What’s been hella fun about metal is you guys have some amazing lyricists who really put a lot of thought into what they’re saying. Really makes these breakdowns enjoyable for me and gives me a lot to work with 🤟

As a long time Slipknot fan, amazing job. It’s great to see someone really appreciate the depth of their lyrics. I have tried since ‘99 to get people to look past the screams and truly hear what is being said. “You call it demonic because you hear the screaming, I call it life saving because I hear the meaning.”

[@buddaflyfx]

yea this song in particular really speaks to me. especially these days with how corrupted society has become and willfully blind so many people are and how lonely it can be seeing through the bullshit.

[@Sui0Generis]

You just earned a sub from me. Understanding the lyrics of Psychosocial is a significant feat. Most people run through the whole song without understanding what it's about because of Corey's gritty voice, the epic music, the symbolism, wordplay and the obscure definitions of his choice words. Of all reaction KZbinrs, you're the only one I've seen to be able to keep up with Corey.

[@krystlerobbins3760]

I've been listening to Slipknot since I was 14 when their very first album dropped. I was blessed to see them twice in concert, in the pit. I've never seen anyone break down the lyrics in such a masterful manner. We need a metal channel from you Knox, let's gooooo!

[@psychobetha]

at 2:34 when Knox asked “who puts effusive into your lyricism” i just giggled knowing “pseudo-sacrosanct perversion” was coming. as an fyi Corey never got past 9th grade 🙂 him and eminem kind of prove you don’t need a formal education to be great. just kidding, kids… stay in school. odds are you are probably not corey or eminem, because they’re naturally brilliant and gifted unicorns 🦄

[@vampfan1991]

The way you understand the lyrics so well blows my mind. I love when you react to these metal bands. I would love to see you react to Bad Omens. Some of my favorite songs by them are “Like a Villain”; “Concrete Jungle”; “Just Pretend”; and “Artificial Suicide”; but the band really don’t have any “bad” songs that I’ve heard.

[@michaelrodriguez9741]

Dude I love how you a rapper by trade, can peel back the layers of hard rock and loudness and appreciate the lyricism of even a heavy metal band. Good on you!

[@hal0justcal865]

Slipknot isn't heavy metal

[@MarkyMark8484]

Knox, you understand the entirety of that song without even looking at lyrics so you are the Meriam Webster dictionary dude. I've listened to this song hundreds of times and never knew those were the words. You have such a keen ear for music. This was really fun to watch.

[@Dreveryn]

I had a crazy Slipknot concert a few years ago. It was an outdoor rain show that was delayed over an hour for lightning. The first band Of Mice and Men got skipped. It stopped raining for a while and when Slipknot started playing this song, Corey started singing the chorus "and the rain will kill us all" right as it started pouring down and we were moshing in muddy pits. So much fun and an incredible experience.

[@jakedergeist]

I’ve made a few comments before stating this, but you’re one of VERY few, who actually deep dive into the message being spoken into the lyrics, obviously having a rap background, lyrics are what make a rap song, not it’s beat or notes. But you actually react in these videos in a way that will captivate all and that’s something many don’t do. Most only listen to the music and some talk about the lyrics in metal, but no one comes close to the rabbit hole you do when it comes to dissecting every little bit… Hell, I never do that hahaha, but you actually help me see things I never would have even after decades of listening to it. So that’s why I put you at the top of reactionary music and videos, great job as always.

[@jadepsychomambamamba9933]

Ever since you started Metal Mondays, I have been dreaming of the day you covered Psychosocial. Dream come true!

[@humanoid251]

This is the first Slipknot song (and one of the first metal songs in general) I ever heard, so it’s my favorite song of theirs The All Hope Is Gone is in reference to the name of the album that this song is from “And the rain will kill us all” can also be interpreted as “the reign” aka the leadership perverting all these sacrosanct principles will be what kills us all Psychosocial does mean the psychological and social effects of something on a person but I personally interpret it’s meaning, at least in this song, as psychopathy on a social scale. Like throughout the song Corey is making references to how we as a society lack empathy for each other, can’t properly communicate with each other and even exploit, abuse and kill each other. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 iconic song. Some other Slipknot songs I’d personally recommend are Sulfur, Unsainted and All Out Life.

Nice reaction dude, also the high pitch thing that you mention is played by the needle head dude, he's the synth guy that is responsible for atmospheric sounds in slipknot songs

[@Red_Ring_Of_Death]

This may be the best breakdown of Slipknot’s lyrics I’ve ever seen. Respect Knox. 🤘👏👏👏

[@Goosethe]

Starscream (spikey mask) is actually their DJ, which is what that high pitched noise was that you were questioning. There aren't many metal bands with a DJ that I know of, but I like every one I've found.

Saw the title and I knew this was going to be one of your longer breakdowns. Love what you do.

I don't know if anyone has explained the Easter isle heads so I will, but firstly You've earned my views thumbs up and sub! You take lyrics seriously and have been pretty spot on, on the Reactions/breakdowns that I've seen. Slipknot grew this culture of changing their mask (usually every album cycle). The beginning was them shedding their old mask as this was one of the opening singles for All Hope is Gone. They later mimicked the proverbial killing of their old selves in Devil in I and Unsainted. Kudos to picking up on Corey's use of a dictionary/thesaurus and hiding much deeper meanings in (sometimes) unknowing listeners ears!

I really like how demonic Corey Taylor, Clown, Paul Gray, and Chris Fehn sound near the end of Psychosocial. It's honestly amazing how it sounds, and it's one of the many reasons as to why I love listening to Slipknot. Corey's vocals and their percussion and guitars make it all so much fun to listen to.

[@MikkoTikkanen]

Just here to say that I'm really enjoying this journey of yours to metal. Welcome brother!

[@TanyaQueen182]

YAY! I'm so glad you did this song. This is my fav Slipknot song!! I've seen them live a few times and that's how I fell in love with them. Thanks KH!!

[@mattgraham2835]

these guys were so creative with how they harnessed all that aggression with those insane rhythms

[@mathickling223]

There was such an American moment in this, you explain all the metaphors and phrases, but accept what a purple heart is as understood, such acceptance of the military complex as fully understood by all

[@januarranggasiwi3204]

One of my favorite reactor on KZbin. The way he breakdown the lyric is something.

[@snesguy9176]

This song always hit with me. Around the same time this song dropped my best friend growing up died in Afghanistan. Died to an ied clearing the way in front of a convoy.

[@dominikskeries]
