Definitely not the homeless guy I met in NYC like 6 years ago that was licking parking meters and pontificating to specifically the windshield of an empty taxi. 😂
No, Joey and Paul saw a homeless man while they were in NYC for singing a contact for their first Slipknot record. They immediately wrote that phrase down in the notebook.
Joey was one of the greatest drummers of all time, tbh. An absolute legend, gone far too soon from both Slipknot and the world. And obviously Paul as well...rest easy, #1 & #2. The maggots miss you. ❤
Early Slipknot (first 2 albums) absolutely shit on ANYTHING they’ve done since. It’s not even a debate. They still have a decent song or 2 every album but their first two albums were perfection.
@@ZackaryPlumley That was We Are Not Your Kind, and that was a silly thing for Corey to say, because it didn't at all. It was, in my opinion, the best album since Iowa
Every time I hear Heretic Anthem I smell blood lol I got thrown over a wall at a Slipknot concert and had half my face caked in dried blood when they played it, and that memory always sticks with me 💕💕
I was at a festival in the late 90s to see Primus, System of a Down, Tree and Machine Head. These guys opened their set with this song. Their 1st album had just dropped a week or two prior and no one had ever heard of them. This song, LIVE, was my introduction to Slipknot. Still my favorite.
@@NPK476 Nice! Buckethead was there, too. He played with Primus. I didn't know who he was, so I thought he was in Slipknot because of the mask. Great day, that was!
@@NPK476 No, I missed that one. Small venues are always the best, though. Little clubs, old theatres... seeing 2 or 3 great bands for like 20 bucks in the 90s was a glorious time. And no sea of people holding up cellphones, either!
The beginning "UK garage drums" is actually Craig Jones the Sampler. The part where the bass kicks in is where Joey also comes in. That's why you hear the layered percussion. Joey's drums come in on top of Craig's sample in the mix. It's a brilliantly designed intro.
@@neilpatrickhairless yeah I think Sid was the last member they recruited in 97 like right when they did their demo. Dude was playin bars and clubs, then he's in slipknot 😂.
Yes. It is a sample of "Ease Yourself" by The Collective, which is a beautiful DNB/Jungle track from the UK edm scene in the 90s (iirc). Craig Jones and Sid Wilson are often overlooked, as they're not upfront, and easily accessible to even see what they're doing. But they very much are as important to the band's sound (especially the self titled album, where it seems to be the most visible imo) and overall creativity.
First time I saw Slipknot was at a small club in Winston Salem NC. On tour for this album. Definitely one of the best and craziest shows I’ve ever seen.
Early Slipknot in a small venue is fuckin nuts. I saw them in a tiny ass hole in the wall in Illinois somewhere right before the Ozzfest appearance and they were fuckin nuts
Joey was an absolute god on drums and there are live shows you absolutely need to see where he's got the raised drum set that light goes sideways and spins around. It's fûcking insane. I am still crushed by his loss. He was the only member of the band I ever got to know in any way. Slipknot mixess samples and media and then there are three drum sets technically. There's one more traditional drum set in the back and then there are two guys who beat on kegs and metal drums with black drumsticks and sometimes metal pipes on either side of the stage in front. With the kegs and metal pipes it technically falls under the umbrella of industrial/industrial metal and that's where my heart is. I know Sean's/Clown's drum set used to be on a scissor jack so it would occasionally raise and fall throughout the set.
Marlon Brando had a wild, tumultuous life that saw as much bad as it did good. He saw success and pain, love, fame, and ugliness as well. The meaning behind the title is you can’t really see or know California without having experienced the range of experiences it can provide. Corey was very raw with these lyrics, in particular regarding his father and how similar they were (addiction and struggles). This song is definitely a banger.
One of the best songs from their first album, which is, in my opinion, their best album by a very huge margin. So good. Every album after isn’t anywhere near as strong.
Molly, in the early 1990's there was a new genre of music called Digital Hardcore. In the UK/Germany, the two biggest names were Atari Teenage Riot and Alec Empire. In the USA, we had The Shizit. This genre is a mixture of Garage/Drum'n'Bass/Jungle/Gabber/breakcore mixed with hardcore/punk/metal. Some notable songs to check out: The Shizit - Herdcore The Shizit - Spit AK The Shizit - Point Click Kill
Awesome song. The beats at the beginning remind me so much of how jungle techno started back in the 90s, and the bass guitar is phat as fook on this. Such a good mix. Corey and co went all out on this one. Cheers. 🤘🏻
They will never, and can't ever be, that brilliant again. That album(self titled) was lightning in a bottle. IOWA, their second, is their best and heaviest album .. then they lost it. Still make good music, but their intensity was spent on their first 2 albums. I get it but its sad they couldn't keep doing it
Spit It Out! Gotta be next. This album blew me away when it came out. Saw them live that tour and to this day it’s the most intense, amazing show I’ve ever seen!
Longtime "Maggot" here, love when new ppl find Slipknot because a MAJORITY of the time ppl end up becoming Maggots as well! "Maggot" - a nickname the OG band gave their fans because when they looked at the crowds of ppl they would perform for they would be jumping around on each other like maggots. For a perfect example of this, watch "Spit It Out" by them but the live version from 2009 DOWNLOAD concert. You'll see exactly what I mean by "MAGGOTS".
I can't believe you react to this song because it's my favorite Slipknot song and probably my favorite song ever. The old school stuff from their first two albums by them is their best material to date. I would definitely check out The Heretic Anthem, People = Shit or Surfacing. 🤘🔥🤘
Random fact in sneezing. If bright lights make you sneeze that's actually hereditary. It works for me, too. So whoever that works for somewhere in their lineage there's some connection somewhere. 🤘
Quite easily actually seeing as it's separate structures in the throat responsible for creating this kind of distortion that are evolutionarily designed to not ruin your voice
More from Slipknot? You should check out everything from "Iowa", and also "Birth of the Cruel" - "Nero Forte" - "Solway Firth" - "Custer" - "Killpop" - "Sulfur", and a bunch more!
Ha ha. I saw that you were reviewing this song, and the very first thing that popped into my head was "you can't see California without Marlon Brando's EYES!!" Lmfao. Killer track. Yeah, what everyone else has already said... Their first two albums SHRED. Possibly some of the heaviest shit I've heard. Love it 🤘
Always have to return to metal! Congrats on obtaining 40K goal! I believe your subscriptions will increase as you begin to open your mind and ears to other amazing genres! To quote a Who song "Sickness will surely take the mind Where minds can't usually go Come on the amazing journey And learn all you should know"
You really need to watch the "Disasterpieces" concert from 2002 if you can get the DVD then you can select which member's camera to watch while playing. And oh yeah, it was in London
I think the best interpretation of that “Marlon Brando” line is that you can’t appreciate the glitz and glam of something without understanding the filth and decay that sits underneath. For example: Hollywood. “Look me in my brand new eye” means they are starting to see it for themselves. The majority of the music was composed by Joey, Paul and Shawn: the original three members of the band, typically speaking an album with those three on it was quintessential Slipknot. Sadly both Paul and Joey passed away so their sound has never quite been the same. The best way I can describe the first album is “exhausting” that feeling of wanting to get up and smash something, happens with almost every song on the album and each song feeds right into the next almost non-stop. At the end you are completely destroyed from listening to it.
When you get a shiver strong enough to make you run a track back less than 5 seconds in, you don't need to convince anybody that your soul is made of M E T A L 🤘
a lot of rock/metal artists used drum&bass/jungle beats back then. a couple of my favourites songs in that style: Clawfinger - Two steps away Pitchshifter - Genius Nine Inch Nails - Perfect Drug ...
LETS GO!!! Awesome reaction!!! Keep reacting to their heavy stuff(first two albums) After you get to their Iowa album react to Slipknot London live 2001 you won’t b disappointed 🤘
the line "You Cant See California Without Marlon Brandos Eyes" Was a line that Corey picked up from a homeless man he met in california.
marlon brando is a famous rapist.
Definitely not the homeless guy I met in NYC like 6 years ago that was licking parking meters and pontificating to specifically the windshield of an empty taxi. 😂
@@crichards037tf😂
No, Joey and Paul saw a homeless man while they were in NYC for singing a contact for their first Slipknot record. They immediately wrote that phrase down in the notebook.
Like I said, Joey was the best drummer Slipknot ever had rest in peace, Joey.
Joey was one of the greatest drummers of all time, tbh. An absolute legend, gone far too soon from both Slipknot and the world. And obviously Paul as well...rest easy, #1 & #2. The maggots miss you. ❤
Top 5 Metal drummer of all time
Coming from a drummer.
Jay is WAY more technically sound and precise.
Joey was just a whirlwind of chaos who can never be replaced.
@@metler7642yeah not even close to top 5….
Maybe top 20
Joey truely pops off on Eeyore
Old School Slipknot just hits different man
Hits like a gas truck explosion.
Early Slipknot (first 2 albums) absolutely shit on ANYTHING they’ve done since. It’s not even a debate. They still have a decent song or 2 every album but their first two albums were perfection.
1 million %
I will say We are not your kind and The End so Far were fucking excellent!
But I do agree, self titled and Iowa are staggeringly good
Yeah I was really disappointed with whatever album Corey had said would contain Iowa levels of heavy. Come the fuck on now.
@@ZackaryPlumley That was We Are Not Your Kind, and that was a silly thing for Corey to say, because it didn't at all. It was, in my opinion, the best album since Iowa
Amen! 🤘🔥🙌
The line "You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes" was something Corey heard a homeless guy said and it stuck with him.
Been waiting for this! Eyeless is straight 🔥🔥🔥
Best song on the album hands down.
Molly, I keep telling you Slipknot was made for you. So many bangers like this yet to come. Heretic Anthem, Blister Exists. You’re welcome.
I can't wait for him to do "No Life"
Every time I hear Heretic Anthem I smell blood lol I got thrown over a wall at a Slipknot concert and had half my face caked in dried blood when they played it, and that memory always sticks with me 💕💕
Gehenna too

Also, Sid Wilson is a DNB/Jungle/EDM DJ so there is a LOT of that influence on this album

"Got any jungle in guy?"
Slipknot: YEEEAAAAHHHHHHH
Am I the only one who hears "I felt the hate rise up in meeee..." as soon as this song ends?

never a bad day for Slipknot!!!!!!!
The Joey Cam in Disasterpiece is insain
Early Slipknot is insane !
LESS GOO their self titled album, react to sic next!! it’s also on this album
Marlon Brando had a wild, tumultuous life that saw as much bad as it did good. He saw success and pain, love, fame, and ugliness as well. The meaning behind the title is you can’t really see or know California without having experienced the range of experiences it can provide.

your full of crap lol it was from a homeless person
Dude! You need to do a full listen to the self titled slipknot, every song is just as good as the last.
Same as Iowa.
That was the 2nd song ive heard by them back in middle school
Wait n bleed got my attention, then Eyeless got me officially Hooked.
One of the best songs from their first album, which is, in my opinion, their best album by a very huge margin. So good. Every album after isn’t anywhere near as strong.
Great reaction as always. I'm 54, love all kinds of metal but nothing hits like this band for me. They're my musical therapy!
It’s soo good, I’m so happy you did this reaction I can’t stop grinning 😂
YEEEEEEEEESSS MORE SLIPKNOT WOOOOOOOO YIPPEE !!! 🎉🎉🎉
So many bangers he hasn’t heard. What about Custer or Solway Firth
@@brandonsimmons1695 i love them both :)
@@brandonsimmons1695 yessss!!
This is one of those albums I've listened through too many times. As soon as the song ended I started in on 'Wait And Bleed'.
joeys drums man
I remember buying this album as a 7 year old and absolutely head banging to it , luckily got to see them as a 9 year old in 2002!!
Left behind ❤slipknot
That intro convinced me these guys were legit.. best album
i live for the breakdown

You've got a new subscriber in me. I'm loving how you're embracing metal, especially Slipknot.
Awesome song. The beats at the beginning remind me so much of how jungle techno started back in the 90s, and the bass guitar is phat as fook on this. Such a good mix. Corey and co went all out on this one. Cheers. 🤘🏻
More like this one? Check out the song before it (sic) 🤘
That’s the first song I ever heard from them. I had never heard anything like it and my face almost melted. Hooked every since
yeah boi. song one on the album bb. starts it off right
Intro into sic into eyeless should be one song. Best thing I've ever heard.
Yeah, (sic) is a must!
So need to see a Vermilion 1 & 2 reaction! ❤ so good
Slipknot - Disasterpiece 🤘or "Gently" very underrated song
Another great video mate 👍🏻
Hands down my all time FAVORITE SlipKnot song!!!
I love your Slipknot videos 🔥🔥🔥
They will never, and can't ever be, that brilliant again. That album(self titled) was lightning in a bottle. IOWA, their second, is their best and heaviest album .. then they lost it. Still make good music, but their intensity was spent on their first 2 albums. I get it but its sad they couldn't keep doing it
One of their best. Seeing them play this live is insane
This is the first song i ever heard of theirs back in like 2000 and i was hooked.
This is my favorite Slipknot song. Thanks for the reaction!
Fuuuuuck yeeeeesssss. My favourite song. Haven't even watched it yet, just liked and commented instantly 🤣
Spit It Out! Gotta be next.
This album blew me away when it came out. Saw them live that tour and to this day it’s the most intense, amazing show I’ve ever seen!
Another banger!!❤
This was the first Slipknot song I ever heard back in 1999/2000 when I was 13/14 years old and was the song that really got me into metal.
THAT is the Slipknot I love.
This album got me hooked to these guys!
Longtime "Maggot" here, love when new ppl find Slipknot because a MAJORITY of the time ppl end up becoming Maggots as well!
"Maggot" - a nickname the OG band gave their fans because when they looked at the crowds of ppl they would perform for they would be jumping around on each other like maggots.
For a perfect example of this, watch "Spit It Out" by them but the live version from 2009 DOWNLOAD concert. You'll see exactly what I mean by "MAGGOTS".
Corey said one day he passed a homeless guy that just keep repeating that phrase about Marlon Brandos eyes and it always stuck with him.
No shit, I was listening to this yesterday thinking...I'll bet Mollyboy would trip on this! And then today, you react to it. Crazy..
So many bangers you need to just do a day for Slipknot where you do a song on that day every week. Slipknot Mondays etc.
Excellent vid. Well done
Always hypes me up. This and Heretic Anthem are my personal favs, with Psychosocial and Duality not being far behind.
I can't believe you react to this song because it's my favorite Slipknot song and probably my favorite song ever. The old school stuff from their first two albums by them is their best material to date. I would definitely check out The Heretic Anthem, People = Shit or Surfacing. 🤘🔥🤘
Much love from across the pond, bruv.
This was the first Slipknot song i ever heard on cassette tape in my friends wood siding station wagon high as fuck.. I'll never forget it
One I jus heard Whitesnake. " Still of the night" . A blast from the past, old school heavy or at least for me an my old ass
had the same reaction hearing this first time in highschool FUCKING LOVE EYELESS!!!!!
This album was the soundtrack to my teenage rage.
Still hits just as hard as day one when i was fourteen
Shit...I'd forgotten just how good this was. (digs out debut album CD...)
Random fact in sneezing. If bright lights make you sneeze that's actually hereditary. It works for me, too. So whoever that works for somewhere in their lineage there's some connection somewhere. 🤘
No way. I looked directly at my ring light when I felt the sneeze coming 🤣
"The blister exists". My next slipknot recommendation
How does C. Taylor not lose his voice singing, screaming, shouting & yelling through those lyrics??? Crazy!
Quite easily actually seeing as it's separate structures in the throat responsible for creating this kind of distortion that are evolutionarily designed to not ruin your voice
One of their most brutal songs.
More from Slipknot? You should check out everything from "Iowa", and also "Birth of the Cruel" - "Nero Forte" - "Solway Firth" - "Custer" - "Killpop" - "Sulfur", and a bunch more!
Possibly my favourite Slipknot song together with Disasterpiece, love the Drum n Bass esque opening on this.🤘
Ha ha. I saw that you were reviewing this song, and the very first thing that popped into my head was "you can't see California without Marlon Brando's EYES!!" Lmfao. Killer track. Yeah, what everyone else has already said... Their first two albums SHRED. Possibly some of the heaviest shit I've heard. Love it 🤘
There's just something about this song that just rips your face off like nothing else.
The 1st 2 albums are the absolute best your so gonna love these 😂😂
Hell yeah my 2nd favourite slipknot song after disasterpiece
My dog!! This is where it's at homie.
Yeah eyeless is one of my favorite metal songs of all time. The drum intro and Coreys intense vocals, there is barely anything like it.
You sir are so lucky! I wish I was just discovering metal, all the bands, the songs, the culture, everything, metal is like nothing else 🤘🏼😈🤘🏼
I love Slipknot, but ive never got into this song. It sounds like they made the whole thing up in one take just jamming, and somebody recorded it 😅
Slipknot - Gently Live in London (Disasterpieces DVD)
Pleeeeaaaae do SIC next!!!!
Probably my favorite Slipknot song. Jordison is mental on the drums.
This was the very first Slipknot song I heard. I think it was on a Metal Hammer cover CD. Yeah. Life changing. 25 years ago now. Man I feel old.
Old school slipknot was so heavy and brutal it’s insane
That breakdown changed my life when I was a kid haha
I am going to Rocklahoma in September to see Slipknot! Lots of other bands there too. A three day event!! 🤘🏼🎸🤘🏼🤡👺🥁
Always have to return to metal!

Bro, Molly Bou swayed his shoulders in the into.. u know it’s 🔥
"Get this" would be another banger from old-school unhinged Slipknot
This album got me through tons of shit.... Will always be one of my favorites.
Molly hatchet. Boogie no more or fall of the peacemakers ❤❤❤
You need to hear this album. It’s phenomenal and probably better than anything since 🤘🏻💥🔥🙏🏻💯
This whole album is a masterpiece definitely gotta check out Prosthetics by Slipknot🤘🔥
yo dude im so glad u listened to this song, it's just amazing. side note, i think you'll really like "My Plague" by Slipknot and "Beg For Me" by Korn
You really need to watch the "Disasterpieces" concert from 2002 if you can get the DVD then you can select which member's camera to watch while playing. And oh yeah, it was in London

Skipknot expanded my vocabulary, not even joking.
