@@TrevorDunkin My source is from an issue of Metal Edge back in 2002. What is your source? If I'm wrong, I'd like to be able to cite the correct source should I find myself in a Slipknot trivia situation in the future lol.
The hate, anguish and aggression is dedicated to his childhood bully. And he portrays his feelings extremely well. The ugliness, the shame, the desperation, the indignant rage. Its undignified, because that's how he was made to feel. He absolutely nails it. Its art imo
This song SAVED me. My mother passed away a few months before this album due to cancer. I was mad, upset, and ready to leave this mortal coil. This song gave me a way to release my rage without releasing it in the normal way, on others or myself.
That is a terrible situation, but it's wonderful that you found solace in the intensity of an artist's work. I can't relate to your specific situation, but I can relate to having found something in Slipknot's music that got me through my worst times as well. (Decades late, but I am sorry for your loss, btw) Slipknot still stands as one of those groups that is shocking to outsiders, but has helped so many through their rough times.
This album was the big fuck you to rest of world who never understand the pain and anger we all felt I'm glad to hear this song saved you this whole album gave me the positive release through music. Stay positive stay heavy
To date this is one of the heaviest albums out there. Pure energy in motion expressed as shadow work. Alot of people suppress these thoughts and concept in it's entirety. For those of us who had this gem growing up though? We need more people like this guy in the world who are willing to try something new. Blessings, and I'm glad you are still here. 🙏
My roommate in college was a black dude, and one night we were playing each other songs we knew that went the hardest. I'll never forget the time I showed him this song, and he legit got up and started crip walking at the start of the second verse at 5:26. Let it be known that he also started crip walking during the breakdown in "Metabolic". It was fucking hilarious.
You picked up on that fairly quick. It is an anti bullying song...of sorts. He wrote it about someone that used to bully and pick on him, and his general disgust of bullying in general. But in this song, the disturbing shit your hearing is him finally snapping and retaliating against his aggressor.
Same! I’m half black and Mexican and I’ve been listening to Slipknot 2 years ago or more and has been a metalhead ever since, but I’m more at ease now lol
Mexican here too, metal is huge in my family. My uncles and my mom are for sure to credit for my love of Slipknot and all the metal/rock/punk bands I’ve ever come to love 🤘🏽
Brazilian here. Metal has no color, ethnicity, nor gender ❤ Slipknot was a big part of my teenage years, their song always made feel like I could be me without shame and more than 20 years later still a huge part of my life. We are a big family, for sure ❤❤❤❤
The mindset you always gotta go into with Slipknot is imagining you're watching a horror movie. That's the vibe they bring. Expressing anger, trauma, sadness through aggressive instruments and sometimes too-graphic lyrics lmao. It was peak back in this era, but you can still see the same vibes in their modern stuff like Devil In I.
That's how some in Cannibal Corpse have explained their music. Its basically the music equivalent of a horror movie but most people take them and other similar bands too seriously. They aren't crazy serial killers, they like extreme music and believe that the lyrics and themes should be as extreme. It's kinda weird to sing about puppies and rainbows with blast beats and downtuned guitars. Though it has been done, for example the band Brojob has done deathcore Christmas songs.
honestly The virus of life feels like a horror movie to me. its my favorite slipknot song because its so slow yet brutal and is like a build up to something crazy
The songs that exemplify the dirty grindhouse horror vibe of slipknot the best imo are prosthetics and skin ticket. Scissors plays like a real fetish gore video too. There are quite a few songs from their first 2 albums that are legit audio horror and I love it so much
The reason Corey Taylor wrote the lyrics so deep like that was because he had massive amounts of trauma growing up and he would cut himself with glass in the Iowa album to make the screams more "real"
Not trying to be a woke loser, but on some real talk.. if anyone is at that point, nobody will judge you for getting help bros. Even the toughest dudes will understand, this is coming from someone from Detroit btw
This is why I love your channel, Rob. As a hip hop head, you take the time to check the lyrics. Slipknot's entire second album, IOWA, is about impotent rage and growing up "different" in a very middle America place like Des Moines, Iowa. It is a VERY heavy, angry album.
This song and era of slipknot is very therapeutic for people who have experienced this level of darkness. I have and I'm happy to say I've been out of it for about 4 years now but when you can relate to the rage and pain and feelings on this album it hits different.
@technikole8753 actually it's perfectly normal for people who had traumatizing childhoods to have these issues and meds don't solve the problem they cover it. They have therapy tho and self healing which imo is the way to go
I was at that level of darkness 2 years ago and then I discovered slipknot, been listening to the album almost everytime I feel angry or depressed and it helps me, now I’m more at ease
"too much dip on my chip" is a great way to describe this! Iowa is legit one of the heaviest, most brutal records I've ever heard. I remember buying it the day it came out, putting it in and hitting the interstate wondering what the hell I had gotten myself into. Love the reaction, your face at the end was killing me!
haha i'm dying laughing, that's why you're #1 react channel and I'll always tune in, thank god for the honest take instead of just bopping w/ it like you've been listening to metal for years or something xD keep it up and the more you go down the road, this shit will feel tame ... well, maybe not tame, but it won't be so "wtf" ... I can't wait to hear you react to some Slaughter to Prevail
The first time I heard this song was LIVE at Ozzfest, before this record even released. The crowd called them back for an encore and Corey and Shawn came back, asked us if we wanted to "hear something new". They started playing the opening guitar riff and they did that for about a minute and half waiting for all the members to come back out. I am telling you, when Joey came back and kicked off his drum section, people were already bouncing in their seats. Finally when everything came together the entire crowd in front of me, pit, seats, box seats and lawn ERUPTED into a giant mosh pit. It was insane and everyone got swept away in it the entire time. One of my favorite songs of all-time. Probably because of the memory. There is nothing like experiencing The Nine.
Yeah, amazing how black people like this make everything about race while calling white people racist isnt it. Almost like they're projecting their own bigotry...
Bro, when I broke my back in accident 18 years ago I listened this album all the time so vent up my anger and frustration. This album was therapy for me and got me relaxed.
@@Therefore_-us8tx After it happened, I've been at +300 metal concerts and done my share of headbanging to the point where I've gotten lumbago on my neck several times. Worth it though! 😁
@@LaughingSkull451 Alright, I'll make it make sense: Have you ever been so mad that you just want to destroy everything regardless if it's an object or a living being and scream your lungs out due to all the frustration that has built up while you keep up the happy facade in order to keep your family out of it so they won't lose their minds? Imagine that and then aim it to yourself 'cause you know it was all your fault without wanting to bother or make anyone worried about your mental state. Listening the album, especially (515) and Disasterpiece back to back gave me the outlet to let out those emotions out by listening someone else doing all that screaming for me, (515) mirrored my mental state in those moments perfectly. It relaxed me, made me smile, made me feel heard and gave me the feeling that I'm right to be angry without destroying anything or anyone. I know it might be hard one to understand considering the circumstances, but it helped me immensely 😁
As a kid who was persistently bullied all of his life by 'friends', 'family', and my peers, these types of songs were therapeutic. We channeled our rage and anger in silence and song, granted... Slipknot was anything but 'silent'.
I am a lot older than you I'm sure, but it makes me sad to hear that so many people have been bullied. Your comment among others on here really got to me.. Sending 🙏🏽🙏🏽💝 to all.
Who had suffered for a long time being bullied every day knows this angry. Bullying can destroy your soul, crush your good feelings and all that remains is pure hate. This song capts perfectly this anguish, the feeling to be "dead inside" and don't give a fvck for everything around you. One of my favorite Slipknot's song by far.
Asking for Deftones, number 4 - Robert! You should listen to “My own summer” by the band “Deftones”! I believe you would thoroughly enjoy this musical number.
Did you know that the rapper Ice-T has a hardcore punk band? They're called Body Count You should check out their song Cop Killer. The studio version is great, but there's a live version at Pink Pop that is a lot of fun to watch. I'd recommend that one.
@@PML78yeah, I kind of think that one would be a better song for a reaction to, cause Cop Killer is about as explicit as it gets and may be a little too much for You Tube. Black Hoodie is probably my favorite Body Count song
As a white man who grew up in the era of slipknot and all that.... its encouraging music.... to help pick yourself back up after being wounded or having to much anger built up inside... its an outlet... its simply to get those emotions out instead of letting it actually seep out and become more than just an emotion... The whole point to any angery music is to get it out... not just become another statistic of what these emotions can create in real life...
Slipknot goes crazy man. They're all about expressing raw emotions through their music. Depending on how they're doing mentally, you may see/hear some crazy shit. And I'm all about it! I would suggest Stone Sour if they get too much. It's Corey Taylor, but more... I guess tame, but still HARD.
if you want to see this song in it's purest, angriest form, check out the live performance of disasterpiece from london 2002. you will never see another concert as intense or angry as that. it's perfect.
yeah this album was 9 dudes with some serious issues inside that worked a lot of them out in their music. It is THE golden standard for a lot of Slipnot fans. It's one of the purest expressions of rage, pain, betrayal, and just "I'm done with the world's bullshit". Great album
This is totally fair and understandable reaction to this song. My friend described Iowa as an album as someone very angrily grabbing you, getting right in your face, and screaming at the top of their lungs about everything that they are going through. It can be A LOT. I just happen to able to click with it because of my own upbringing and life. Love the video Rob! You're my favorite music content creator to watch!
Your reaction here is pretty funny, yeah it's about bullying and abuse, the song is very nihilistic and dark of course with disturbing content. Your reaction here though really makes me want to see you react to Avenged Sevenfold "A Little Piece of Heaven" lol
Metal like this is the blues that's been forged into something that's hard and precision sharp. To surgically cut deep inside to spill all them raw emotions. Many metal heads are actually chill people and the more heavier the music is. The more chilled they are.
When sheltered little white kids aren’t allowed to ever express anger in their lives, shit like this gives them an outlet to feel a natural emotion that society tries to suppress. There’s something about this anger and energy that’s really empowering.
Slipknot helps me release my emotions without taking it out on other people. I'm a life long fan since 1999, about to be 40. They don't condone violence, they're giving people an outlet and shows people they're not alone
Hands down my favorite Slipknot song, absolute banger track, it is also probably the most accessible death metal album, and as a death metal lover, this is the very tip of the iceberg
If you’re sad/mad .. lines like “hate ain’t enough to describe me” is a bar. Also the screams are crazy intense. Man destroyed his voice to push the envelope, you gots to respect that
These men were tired, pissed, and distressed. This album is a transformation of all those emotions. It’s dark and unflinching. But, that’s what many people admire about it
If you like what Slipknot brings, you maaay like Mushroomhead. Out of my mind, and QWERTY, go hard. That goes for everyone by the way. If you like metal, and haven't heard of Mushroomhead, get you some.
Sometimes when people get bullied they go violent and people get erased... Corey goes violent but only with words. Much better option in my opinion. Plus listening to this is cathartic in ways I never knew I needed before I discovered Slipknot.
Generally people listen to this so that they don't do crazy shit. Its a release and a catharsis, for both the audience and the performer. Great reaction!
I saw Slipknot in Denver not long after this came out. Corey had to stop the music at one point to tell the pit "you guys need to calm down before someone gets hurt in there"
You've merely scratched the surface of Slipknot so far. This is just pure, unfiltered anger. It's surprising how therapeutic this shit can be when you're boiling point reaches 100 and there's no other way to calm down
This song is unbridled rage. If you don't know what it's like to be that angry, it means you are very fortunate. This song can be very cathartic for someone who has gone through an immense amount of pain. It has personally saved my life multiple times.
I’m a white boy that grew up in iowa. I first saw slipknot in like 1998 at a tiny bar before they got famous from ozzfest. It was the most insane show i’ve ever seen, a girl in the crowd got taken out on a stretcher. listen to mate.feed.kill.repeat and eyeless and surfacing
I've been pondering this for a decade, and I might be wrong, but I think that aspects of black American culture push deeply traumatized people who grow up in it to lash out on society, or others in the community. But, aspects of white American culture push deeply traumatized people to internalize their pain and inflict that violence on oneself. Of course, people crack and there are exceptions, but I am trying to explain why this type of song does not exist in hip hop. This song sounds like someone screaming into a pillow while being violated.
Sometimes I'm jamming out in my car to some 90s/2000s alternative or something & I stop to think: "i wonder what black dudes think about this" lol i appreciate these videos! Thumbs up bro. Have a good weekend 💪😎
I.... have no defense for this other than its a way to vent frustration and anger in what I consider a healthy way (musically in stead of physically). That being said, the mosh pits when they played this song live were FUCKING INTESNE! I loved it!
Great reaction! I appreciate the honesty. That’s the beauty of music. Everything isn’t for everyone. This song is intense but it is an outlet for Corey and for others who have been victimized. Sometimes it’s difficult to let these feelings out and they internalize and become something truly dark. This actually helps us to not do crazy things because we know that we are not alone in our struggles. If someone as successful and influential as Corey Taylor dealt with these issues and turned them into something positive, perhaps we can too.
The entire IOWA album is this heavy. Even the slower songs. Disasterpiece is probably one of my favorites on the album. This came out in 2001 and is slipknots 2nd full album (i do not count MATE.FEED.KILL.REPEAT) The earlier stuff is fast, in your face or dark and heavy. They have gotten more melodic in time (like the songs you have already listened to)
Lmao!!! I’m black and as a teenager I was always blasting this sh!t in my bedroom!!! Even my headphones at school! One of my fav Slipknot songs of all time! Us Minnesotans and Iowa folks love us some Slipknot!!!❤❤❤
Corey Taylor once said, in regards to the lyrics of this song: "If you don't know what it's like to be this angry, you've never been bullied."
I love that so much that’s so real
It was written by another member of slipknot about another member Slipknot.
@devoured6by6humans6 simply not true. Taylor wrote it about his childhood bully.

@devoured6by6humans6 an interview with Corey Taylor himself. I think it mightve been when he was a guest on Something's Burning, but I'm not positive
The funny thing about asking if Corey taylor was ok during song is that he was indeed not, this entire was the angriest the band has ever been
Its not even the most angry song on the album (in my opinion) - this album is crazy start to finish.
I’d say Iowa was the worse. I mean, have you heard the story’s about it?

Agreed. You don’t know what Hate feels like until you feel like this

This is totally fair and understandable reaction to this song. My friend described Iowa as an album as someone very angrily grabbing you, getting right in your face, and screaming at the top of their lungs about everything that they are going through. It can be A LOT. I just happen to able to click with it because of my own upbringing and life. Love the video Rob! You're my favorite music content creator to watch!
Watching you try to catch the beat with that horrified look on your face is one of the most hilarious things I've ever seen.
Your reaction here is pretty funny, yeah it's about bullying and abuse, the song is very nihilistic and dark of course with disturbing content. Your reaction here though really makes me want to see you react to Avenged Sevenfold "A Little Piece of Heaven" lol
A little piece of heaven will scare him way too much, don’t do that man 😭🙏 We need some other A7X reactions before that
Metal like this is the blues that's been forged into something that's hard and precision sharp. To surgically cut deep inside to spill all them raw emotions.
Many metal heads are actually chill people and the more heavier the music is. The more chilled they are.
When sheltered little white kids aren’t allowed to ever express anger in their lives, shit like this gives them an outlet to feel a natural emotion that society tries to suppress. There’s something about this anger and energy that’s really empowering.
the suburbs kinda fuck with your head after a while, what can i say
LMAO I respect it
tbf they lived in Iowa
Trailer park mania
Corey was homeless as a teen, silly billy.
Considering back then they weren't from the suburbs. Lmao
I’m honestly surprised nobody has had him listen to Lorna shore yet
lowkey feel like he might like it
It’s gotta happen
He not ready for that yet
Pain remains is an easy stepping stone to Lorna.
It's a beautiful song and really showcases what deathcore can be
Not yet, give it time tho.
Slipknot helps me release my emotions without taking it out on other people. I'm a life long fan since 1999, about to be 40. They don't condone violence, they're giving people an outlet and shows people they're not alone
Hands down my favorite Slipknot song, absolute banger track, it is also probably the most accessible death metal album, and as a death metal lover, this is the very tip of the iceberg
This kind of music keeps some of us sane. It's better to listen to a song like this than to give into the intrusive thoughts.
This was funny af 😂😂😂 definitely subbing. Slipknot is awesome
im miss this slipknot so much
Bro def not ready for Infant Annihilator lmao
If you’re sad/mad .. lines like “hate ain’t enough to describe me” is a bar. Also the screams are crazy intense. Man destroyed his voice to push the envelope, you gots to respect that
Bro you are so funny with those reactions I swear and put that damn shirt on!
These men were tired, pissed, and distressed. This album is a transformation of all those emotions. It’s dark and unflinching. But, that’s what many people admire about it
Bro watch the drum cam version so you can appreciate how insane it is they can play this live
If you like what Slipknot brings, you maaay like Mushroomhead. Out of my mind, and QWERTY, go hard.
That goes for everyone by the way. If you like metal, and haven't heard of Mushroomhead, get you some.
Cant believe he suggested this version and not the live in london 2001 version...you need to watch it
I've been listening to this song nonstop for months now on my way to work. Literally walk through the fucking walls like it's nothing.
"Too much dip for my chip" I'm stealing that one bro 😅
This is the funniest reaction I've ever seen..just wanna say thanks...disasterpiece is a fucking brilliant tune..one of the best 💓 bless ya 🙏🤣
Sometimes when people get bullied they go violent and people get erased... Corey goes violent but only with words. Much better option in my opinion. Plus listening to this is cathartic in ways I never knew I needed before I discovered Slipknot.
Generally people listen to this so that they don't do crazy shit. Its a release and a catharsis, for both the audience and the performer. Great reaction!
RIP Joey. This album got me through some shit.🤘🤘
I've actually not come across this channel before but dude, you are freakin' funny and entertaining. 😂🙌🏻
I was dead this entire video!!!!
Still fighting to come back to
Life
I saw Slipknot in Denver not long after this came out. Corey had to stop the music at one point to tell the pit "you guys need to calm down before someone gets hurt in there"
Let’s do it!
You've merely scratched the surface of Slipknot so far. This is just pure, unfiltered anger. It's surprising how therapeutic this shit can be when you're boiling point reaches 100 and there's no other way to calm down
I aint got no explanation, we just wild when we mad. 😂
I'm surprised he didn't Google the lyrics for the "hate ain't enough to describe me part", that's when it got real dark for me.
This song is unbridled rage. If you don't know what it's like to be that angry, it means you are very fortunate. This song can be very cathartic for someone who has gone through an immense amount of pain. It has personally saved my life multiple times.
You should do Left Behind by slipknot next
🤘🏽😎
I’m a white boy that grew up in iowa. I first saw slipknot in like 1998 at a tiny bar before they got famous from ozzfest. It was the most insane show i’ve ever seen, a girl in the crowd got taken out on a stretcher. listen to mate.feed.kill.repeat and eyeless and surfacing
Noooo bro you gotta watch this live!!! Slipknot Disasterpiece live in LONDON!!!!
I've been pondering this for a decade, and I might be wrong, but I think that aspects of black American culture push deeply traumatized people who grow up in it to lash out on society, or others in the community. But, aspects of white American culture push deeply traumatized people to internalize their pain and inflict that violence on oneself. Of course, people crack and there are exceptions, but I am trying to explain why this type of song does not exist in hip hop. This song sounds like someone screaming into a pillow while being violated.
Sometimes I'm jamming out in my car to some 90s/2000s alternative or something & I stop to think:
"i wonder what black dudes think about this" lol i appreciate these videos! Thumbs up bro. Have a good weekend 💪😎
Lmfao ion think he’s gonna like this but this song is 🔥🔥🔥 😂😂
Edit: he in fact did not like it 😂😂😂
I was laughing wayyyy too hard at your "come on corey taylor! What is wrong with you brother" 😂
I.... have no defense for this other than its a way to vent frustration and anger in what I consider a healthy way (musically in stead of physically). That being said, the mosh pits when they played this song live were FUCKING INTESNE! I loved it!
I listen to Slapnuts, and I'm telling you... You don't know how right you are about everything you said...
Rob, with this song you have only scratched the surface of the visceral-ness of metal lyrics. With that, THIS SONG FUCKING RIPPPPPSSSS
Great reaction! I appreciate the honesty. That’s the beauty of music. Everything isn’t for everyone. This song is intense but it is an outlet for Corey and for others who have been victimized. Sometimes it’s difficult to let these feelings out and they internalize and become something truly dark. This actually helps us to not do crazy things because we know that we are not alone in our struggles. If someone as successful and influential as Corey Taylor dealt with these issues and turned them into something positive, perhaps we can too.
More slipknot let’s go!!!
This was earlier slipknot. Much more angry and brutal
The entire IOWA album is this heavy. Even the slower songs. Disasterpiece is probably one of my favorites on the album. This came out in 2001 and is slipknots 2nd full album (i do not count MATE.FEED.KILL.REPEAT) The earlier stuff is fast, in your face or dark and heavy. They have gotten more melodic in time (like the songs you have already listened to)
React to Slipknot, spit it out live at download festival.
I’M BLACK & I FUKN *LOVE* THIS SONG AND SLIPKNOT AS A WHOLE😂🔥🙌!
HEY, OLD MAN! FOR SOME FUN CONTRAST GO LISTEN TO SLIPKNOT, VERMILION PT2
This is the kind of music I listen to while working a desk job totally relaxed. 😂
wait until he finds out a murderer blamed the lyrics of this song on his murder
7:43 drinking water to this 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
He said...."Did he just say slip your throat and f@%@ a goat?"🤣🤪
Eyeless
🤘🏽😎
"Too much dip on my chip" :DD That's the best line I've heard in a while.
Does anybody else hate it when he calls it “white boy music”?
Yes
no lol
Slipknot has gotten many of us through dark times and this album is one of many that helped me during hard times
Not a big fan of this tune. It's just abrasive music for very angry men.
The song was written in response to a childhood bully. The aggression is justified.
I guess am an angry man because I love slipknot
"Wear black and all quiet and shit" Is one of the most respectful assumptions about goths I've heard.
not gonna lie, that's one of the low points of slipknot
Troll
Ya it’s only on their most beloved Album lol
“It’s too much dip on my chip” 😂😂
Lmao!!! I’m black and as a teenager I was always blasting this sh!t in my bedroom!!! Even my headphones at school! One of my fav Slipknot songs of all time! Us Minnesotans and Iowa folks love us some Slipknot!!!❤❤❤
Definitely need a spotter for this set.
thank you for getting me to listen to Slipknot!
brother came in with the japanese Frieza laugh. that actually was super funny to me! well played my dude
