Ok, an explanation to these two indredible and dark songs. Pt1, is the POV of a stalker (Probably serial killer) talking about a broken girl he's becoming obsessed. The "I can't make her real" is encouraging himself to not become too obsessed. Pt 2, he already got her and killed her, and now in a sad and nostalgic mood is realizing that he cannot have her anymore because he already killed her. In the ther hand, she's very distressed in the Pt1, but seems in peace in Pt2. It's pretty similar to the movie Perfume, because he realizes that nothing gonna be the same after her. Dark, deep s#!t, but artistically beautiful songs and videos.
I had never heard that, pretty cool concept. I always took it as, in some of the same idea, somebody in love with another that doesn’t reciprocate, and how they fight withy he selves about the person not being that great and overpowering figure, and that no matter what, you can’t make them live up to how you’ve built them in your head. Cool to hear the actual story though!
That is pretty much my interpretation of it as well. Definitely makes sense as Corey Taylor was really into true crime and serial killers back then, with songs like Purity and Iowa
I’m surprised no one else has figured this out yet, but it’s actually about his ex wife Scarlet. You see, scarlet is a shade of red. Vermilion is also a shade of red. Hence why the title is Vermilion. As for the lyrics…have you ever fallen in love with someone only to later realize that the person you fell for was just an illusion? That’s what he’s talking about. Sometimes when you love someone you build up all these ideas in your mind about who they are. You idolize them and make them the center of your world. You view them as a culmination of all your hopes and dreams. And then they break your heart and it shatters your entire reality because you built your whole life around them. You thought you had found true love, but they were just a “myth”. You realize that the person you fell in love with wasn’t real and it’s the hardest thing to accept. The video portrays her being dead because he’s mourning the person he thought she was. His idea of her has died. Both songs represent different stages of grief. Part 1 is about his anger and his unhealthy obsession over her. Part 2 is about acceptance and the deep sorrow that comes with it.
I thought he came out in an interview shortly after the song was released, saying the song was about a serial killer. Stalking, and eventually killing her in part 2. He was a psychopath. hence the words "She's the only thing that makes me feel". Psychopaths often get off on the adrenaline of stalking and killing. Since it's the only thing that makes them feel something.
You nailed it when you said she is almost like this "thing" instead of a person. I think the "thing" is an object of someones obsession, in this case just happens to also be a person. But yes, music generally appeals to many people for many reasons and can be taken many different ways. But I also think that the words sort of convey being torn as to what to do with the feelings of obsessing after someone without reciprocation.
I remember the first time I heard this song, it was so different than anything Slipknot had ever released up until that point. they never did any acoustic ballads in their first two albums,
9:15 Corey is also an actor 😂 Movies with him: Sharknado 4 (2016), Fear Clinic (2014) with Robert Englund aka Freddy Krueger, Bad Candy (2020), Rucker (2022), Officer Downe (2016) This movie is directed by Shawn Crahan aka Clown of Slipknot. and Slipknot's DJ Sid Wilson is in on the movie too
The field is his mind. The girl is in his imagination. The more he thinks about her, the more she moves, almost seems real. But she isn't and he knows he needs to move on. The verse at the end when she's landing back to the ground, "She, isn't real... I can't make her real"
Corey said pt 1 is that he was stalking her making her feel alone and crazy..and pt 2 he killed her..pt 1 the butterfly is showing she wanted to be free from him..pt 2 she is still floating around in his head
Both songs are sung from the perspective of a serial killer if I remember correctly. Part one is while stalking the girl. Part 2 is after he had done what he does. Someone can correct me if I'm mistaken. The songs deal with the struggle of him dealing with the desire, knowing he shouldn't cave to them and finally his justification of it.
Yes, its about a woman who is captured, abused, then discarded. The person who the song is being written from the perspective of is obsessed and saying things about how important the woman is, yet here we see her blowing around like a dried up leaf, dead in a field
There's a few Slipknot songs that initially sound like some form of unrequited love, but have an interesting or very dark twist on who or what the object of affection is. Killpop on first listen comes across as a toxic relationship, but it's not about a person. Prosthetic is more overtly covering the themes that these two songs are about...it's masterfully discordant and unsettling while still keeping you hooked
I don't like slipknot at all, I am not a slipknot fan. That being said, this is one of my favourite songs of all time, I absolutely love playing it on guitar as well. I am a massive Corey Taylor fan. Like me and my brother used to get in literal fist fights when we were kids because he would put slipknot on to piss me off sometimes, I absolutely hated them xD
3:30, Tumbleweed was the things blowing around you wanted. It’s a really nice calming song for Slipknot, really nice! Like your reaction to it, it was confusing, I don’t get the links but they must have had an aim for the message!
In terms of Corey, acoustic songs and his vocal abilities i cannot recommend the song Taciturn from his other band Stone Sour high enough. It's incredibly under-rated and there's a live version from the same HATED set where he performed Snuff which is just 🤌👌
This music video is iconic to me just because it's so haunting. I will never forget it. And obviously the song itself is one of my favorite songs in general, but the visuals with the song really makes it...well haunting is prety much the only way to describe it. The perfect combination to evoke that feeling.
Another great reaction. I personally like this one more than part 1, i think sometimes the softer Slipknot hits harder than the heavier one for me. If you want another cool part 1 - part 2 songs i recommend Tears Don't Fall part 1 (this one has a music video, short radio version as usual) and 2 by Bullet for my Valentine.
Corey Taylor has said this about this both parts of Vermillion "Vermilion Pt. 1' is about the enrapturing, the buildup, the anticipation and the neurosis, Part 2' is the aftermath, the pieces that have to be picked up later, and maybe the guilt of having lived through it."
HE KILLED HER STREACHED COVERED IN HIS SHAM PHYSICAL EVDANCE. SHE IS COVERED IN HIS SHAME! BEAUTIFUL! LISTEN TO SNUFF ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL AS WELL. YES HE MADE HER PASS AWAY. IT CAN MUSIC IS LIKE THIS EVERYONE INTERPES MUSIC LYRICS DIFFERENTLY
She is like the bag from American Beauty. The story betwn Vermilion 1 and 2 is not that complicated. Its a very violent poetry about darkest desire and what comes of it.
Part 1 is about a killer stalking a victim. The unlucky woman (victim) has had his (the killers) completely unrealistic and unreasonable wants and needs projected onto her from afar in his own head and now he stalks her looking for the right time to make his move, all the while building her up into something that can only exist in his head. He needs her to be all these things he wants but can't make her real no matter how hard he tries and how delusional he becomes. Part 2 is the aftermath of his "actions". Its the simultaneous relief and let-down that follows what was the "climax" of his twisted actions. Its the killer spending time with her after she's "gone" and still trying to make something out of his failure while at the same time reveling in what he perceives as his domination over her.
Vermilion part1 is tells about the drugs addction almost killed Corey Taylor several times. the part two is about the acceptance and overrun. It's the calm down after passthrought from turmoil presented in the part 1.
GURL! U just baffled by the whole thing! Corey has a way of doing that w/ his vocals, he’s amazing! What I got out of this was, a past relationship that he can’t have he anymore. (She isn’t Real, I can’t make her real) 😢So, she has to be a past for him. And make her dead in his head. 😔
Just a note for you, the video was based on a painting where the woman was kind of a kite. I looked it up a few years back but now I am having a hard time looking up the name of the painter.
At the beginning of Vermilion Part 1, you are worried she is dead and they were clay animating her. And then you struggled with coming to that conclusion in part two where it was actually happening.
My unrequested, barely-informed, overly personal interpretation: _Vermilion_ was about how when everything you feel is only varying amounts of hate, the crush you have on her _feels_ so close to an escape from that hate, but at some point, you realize who you're _seeing_ is not who you're looking at. Who you're _seeing_ is not real. That your _heart,_ bent on escaping the hate, has inadvertently actually set a trap. The instictual hormonal/pheromonal call and response has been used by your heart against your self-hating mind to get its emotional nails a grip under the mental scab and _(won't let this build up inside of me)_ open the self-loathing abscess to let it drain. A _(won't)_ spiteful will to live using any means necessary _(let this)_ to stop your depressed appetite for self-destruction. A false hope driving you to keep climbing for a _real_ hope. _Vermilion Pt. 2_ is about how, after the storm, after the break-up, after the end, even though it was wrong, it was not real, it was an illusion; it kept you going a _bit_ longer. Maybe things didn't get _good,_ but they got _better._ Sometimes, though, over the years, the winds of your thoughts sweep the plains of your mind, and they pick up the corpses you've left there. The false hopes. The childish things. The necessary means. The unjustified hates. The mistaken wants. You think about these things, float them before your mind's eye, turning them, twisting them through all axes... is there a new angle to see this from? Is there something new to learn from another observation? Is there more to understand about all this? Science is all about limited data describing unlimited concepts. Art is all about limited language describing unlimited feelings. Being human is all about knowing we don't know everything, but doing the best we can with what we do know. Maybe.
My interpretation from the videos is in pt1 she feels alone there are all these people around her but no one seems interested in her she wants love but doesn't see it anywhere. In pt2 she has died and it is from the perspective of the ones she left behind and they are realizing what they lost. I think that's why she looks like an empty shopping bag blowing in the wind like discarded trash.
He built up how she should be and react to him in his mind and when she didn't live up to what he had set out as what she should be to him being a homicidal maniac he killed her and left her body in a field. "She isn't real. I can't make her real" was the realization that what he had set out in his mind as who she was, was not her at all and when that happened he snapped. Not that the character was the most stable person to begin with i mean he killed her just because she didn't live up to his crazy expectation of what he thought she should be to him. Which is how all stalkers act and is a totally pathetic way to exist.
Here's my take. part 1 is about a woman that he becomes infatuated with, and he builds her up to be his ideal woman and obsesses over the image he created of her, and pursues her in a very obsessive and unhealthy way. The whole world is passing by so fast and all he can see is her. Part 2 is about that woman either failing to meet those imposed expectations, or in some way not being the girl he hoped for, maybe unrequited. The videography in pt2 shows that to me. The girl he created in his mind, he realized isn't a living breathing woman, and the whole song is him rationalizing and coping and attempting to "breathe life" into this woman who isn't actually alive, which follows along with the lyrics "she isn't real. I can't make her real" also "a song that no-one sings, the unattainable". I love the videography because it's like SOMETHING is trying to make the body move and stand upright but it's very unnatural and disturbing, which is reflected in the conflict that's going on in his mind when he's realizing that he's trying to twist this woman into being something he can never have
Yes, I agree. I feel the same, she is a real person but he has put her on the pedestal and created an ideal version of her in his mind and he can't ever get that version of her.
Believe it or not Corey did not write the majority of their music. Usually Paul, Joey and Shawn wrote it. Now it is more Corey and Shawn. I gotta say though Corey is an incredible poet and SNUFF shows it perfectly.
Rachel, I KNOW you've reacted to "Snuff". But, have you seen the "Snuff" mini movie? With Malcom McDowell? IF you "get it", I think it would explain quite a bit.(Corey IS the GIRL) It explains a lot. And it certainly trickles over into other band projects. NO MATTER HOW you look at it, in the long run, it does NOTHING to detract from Corey's talent. PERIOD!
U know, i used to listen when i was young,the acoustic riff is so amazing,its really hard learn.... Remind me so many memories...thnks..greetings for Aizawl_Mizoram
“Psychosocial” is my favorite song by them. Great song and reaction! They went through a weird phase and these songs make no sense! Great lyrics and backup vocals but weird videos!
Really? Their most overplayed song of all time. In terms of the "weirdness" this was Volume.3 where Clown started really getting into production. That's why you'll notice this alongside part 1, The Negative One and XIX videos are very similar it's clowns style and he still does it to this day. That was never a phase it's just his style. Also the songs make alot of sense if you actually read the lyrics and put the visual components to it, it's not meant to have a singular purpose or meaning for everyone it's meant to represent a different emotion for the different people listening and watching aka open for interpretation based off your life experiences.
Because of you I started to like part 1. Funny enough I have never seen both music videos and also watched it because of you. Anyway which part did you like better? For me second part was always the better song. If you want more Slipknot I recommend Before I forget (they are unmasked..kinda), If you want another balladesque Slipknot there is Gehenna which is also awesome. From newer songs maybe Unsainted? If you like bands that are experimenting with stuff I recommend Bring Me the Horizon - check out their stuff it is almost everything good. 1x1, Parasite Eve, Dear Diary, Kingslayer and later compare it with their old songs. It would be welcome addition to your channel Ray 😃
Lol it's a stalking serial killer's pov b4 and after killing the chick.....in 1st vid everything around is moving at warp speed like obsessive racing thoughts, while 2nd vid is slow sad melancholic introspective tone of finality.
Dead Memories is one i would recommend to follow up this song, its so beautifully between heavy and harmonious.
Agreed 💯
Probably my favourite slipknot song ever 🤟
Dead Memories is my favorite Slipknot song for sure!!
Agreed.. Dead Memories is one of the kind..
U should react this song.. So many ur sub are like to do this..miss Rachel

Short cut
The song about serial killer who murdered a beautiful woman and he can't stop thinking about her.. Because he miss her
It's deep sh*t..
nossa muito curioso isso obrigado!
The 'She isn't real' is the perfect idea he has of her, and the life he Could have with her
I’m surprised no one else has figured this out yet, but it’s actually about his ex wife Scarlet. You see, scarlet is a shade of red. Vermilion is also a shade of red.

Very insteresting interpretation. Probably one of the most accurate one.
👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
hands down best interpretation i ever heard or read before.
I thought he came out in an interview shortly after the song was released, saying the song was about a serial killer. Stalking, and eventually killing her in part 2.
He was a psychopath. hence the words "She's the only thing that makes me feel". Psychopaths often get off on the adrenaline of stalking and killing.
Since it's the only thing that makes them feel something.
Finally someone who knows about his ex
"She isn't real. I can't make her real."
A borderline psychotic obsession with an ideal, rather than a living breathing person.
You nailed it when you said she is almost like this "thing" instead of a person. I think the "thing" is an object of someones obsession, in this case just happens to also be a person. But yes, music generally appeals to many people for many reasons and can be taken many different ways.

I always Include Danger Keep away with these songs as I get the exact same.
Kind of like the "Who Killed Laura Palmer?" thing. What in the world did this girl get involved in?
It can also be seen as the duality (heh) of Mania and Dementia. Mania is loud and in your face, Dementia is subdued and melancholy.
the first song is about a creep who was stalking a girl and the second is him understanding that she isnt real (i saw it somewhere so im not sure)
Circle is my fav Slipknot acoustic song.
When he says "I won't let this build up inside of me" and each time he repeated it he got louder as it was building up inside of him.
Slipknot used Confusion and it’s super effective!
3:39 - that is exactly what has happened to her, she was made into a thing instead of a person and then discarded
Really enjoy part 2, this song really hit deep for me at the time
There's a few Slipknot songs that initially sound like some form of unrequited love, but have an interesting or very dark twist on who or what the object of affection is.

Prosthetic is more overtly covering the themes that these two songs are about...it's masterfully discordant and unsettling while still keeping you hooked
Whenever people say they don't like slipknot I send them this song so they can actually hear Corey's voice and they always love it
I don't like slipknot at all, I am not a slipknot fan. That being said, this is one of my favourite songs of all time, I absolutely love playing it on guitar as well. I am a massive Corey Taylor fan. Like me and my brother used to get in literal fist fights when we were kids because he would put slipknot on to piss me off sometimes, I absolutely hated them xD
3:30, Tumbleweed was the things blowing around you wanted. It’s a really nice calming song for Slipknot, really nice! Like your reaction to it, it was confusing, I don’t get the links but they must have had an aim for the message!
Just think about it, Pt1 is telling: "It's now or never, she is coming home... forever"
In terms of Corey, acoustic songs and his vocal abilities i cannot recommend the song Taciturn from his other band Stone Sour high enough. It's incredibly under-rated and there's a live version from the same HATED set where he performed Snuff which is just 🤌👌
That whole London concert is superb, I would also recommend Tired
Taciturn is my favorite Stone Sour song.
This music video is iconic to me just because it's so haunting. I will never forget it. And obviously the song itself is one of my favorite songs in general, but the visuals with the song really makes it...well haunting is prety much the only way to describe it. The perfect combination to evoke that feeling.
"Haunting" Is exactly the term I would use to describe both pt 2 and the video for it
Another great reaction. I personally like this one more than part 1, i think sometimes the softer Slipknot hits harder than the heavier one for me.
If you want another cool part 1 - part 2 songs i recommend Tears Don't Fall part 1 (this one has a music video, short radio version as usual) and 2 by Bullet for my Valentine.
This was filmed out here in Ca.
One of my favorite bands, thank you Rachel!!!
Corey Taylor has said this about this both parts of Vermillion "Vermilion Pt. 1' is about the enrapturing, the buildup, the anticipation and the neurosis, Part 2' is the aftermath, the pieces that have to be picked up later, and maybe the guilt of having lived through it."
That guitar chords gave me chills after all this years
A true masterpiece
Gotta check out part 3 next
Janna Bossier, is her name, apparently. She went on to go to tv shows. Made her mark in these first two Vermillion videos. She's great
HE KILLED HER STREACHED COVERED IN HIS SHAM PHYSICAL EVDANCE. SHE IS COVERED IN HIS SHAME! BEAUTIFUL! LISTEN TO SNUFF ITS VERY BEAUTIFUL AS WELL. YES HE MADE HER PASS AWAY. IT CAN MUSIC IS LIKE THIS EVERYONE INTERPES MUSIC LYRICS DIFFERENTLY
DEAD MEMORIESS NEXT PLEAEEEEEEEEE
She is like the bag from American Beauty. The story betwn Vermilion 1 and 2 is not that complicated. Its a very violent poetry about darkest desire and what comes of it.
The vocals, particularly toward the end are just stunning
Dead memories next. pls
I think this is the best song by Slipknot. Whenever I listen to her, I get goosebumps. I even want to shed a tear🥺❤☝
Part 1 is about a killer stalking a victim. The unlucky woman (victim) has had his (the killers) completely unrealistic and unreasonable wants and needs projected onto her from afar in his own head and now he stalks her looking for the right time to make his move, all the while building her up into something that can only exist in his head. He needs her to be all these things he wants but can't make her real no matter how hard he tries and how delusional he becomes.

Its the killer spending time with her after she's "gone" and still trying to make something out of his failure while at the same time reveling in what he perceives as his domination over her.
I'm a little bit late to the party, but I really love your reactions ! And welcome to the Maggots family 🤘
you should check out 1"from can to can't" from the album Sound City from i believe 2012
Such a good song!
I love bloodstone remix in my teenage years... The whole Vermilion experiance is amazing!
Next is sulfur 😎👊
Also you should listen to slipknots song "circle" . It's beautiful and if you pay attention, his lyrics literally draw circles. It's amazing
One of my favorites!
You should absolutely do something live from them. I highly recommend Slipknot Spit It Out live at Download 2009
Stop recommending the worst version
2001 from their dad disasterpice is much better
Better old live
stuff
pt1 It’s a dream of someone who doesn’t exist pt2 it’s the same dream that becomes weaker through time since it can’t come true
the song was about a serial killer stalking his prey.
No, it's about depression and drugs, cocaine specially.
@@heelgabiCorey said it's about a serial killer
This song always makes me tear up but I love their harder songs
Vermilion Pt. 2 is just Life put into a song!🤟❤🤘🥺
Yes it's Barbie she is dead here! Haunting and very beautiful yes!
dang, it's breezy in iowa.....
Vermilion part1 is tells about the drugs addction almost killed Corey Taylor several times. the part two is about the acceptance and overrun. It's the calm down after passthrought from turmoil presented in the part 1.
Vermilion is a red pigment or color that I think signifies blood.
His Hair dye job is like NEXT LEVEL COOL 😎 to me.
Other great accoustic song by Slipknot is Circle.
React to Pt.3 or the Bloodstone Remix as they call it!
GURL! U just baffled by the whole thing! Corey has a way of doing that w/ his vocals, he’s amazing! What I got out of this was, a past relationship that he can’t have he anymore. (She isn’t Real, I can’t make her real) 😢So, she has to be a past for him. And make her dead in his head. 😔
Just a note for you, the video was based on a painting where the woman was kind of a kite. I looked it up a few years back but now I am having a hard time looking up the name of the painter.
Hello beauty, I really like your content! I follow you from Mexico 🇲🇽 💯🖐🏼
At the beginning of Vermilion Part 1, you are worried she is dead and they were clay animating her. And then you struggled with coming to that conclusion in part two where it was actually happening.
"Dried up bushes that roll around in the desert...." I think you're talking about tumbleweeds!!!
Love your reactions and think you could consider reacting to 3 strangers make awesome song. ❤
Reaction "Inutilismo 2022 em uma música" {2022 in a song} .
"The Devil In I" official music video
Love the reactions!! I'd love if you reacted to my fav slipknot song the nameless is agressive but has a catchy chorus!
My unrequested, barely-informed, overly personal interpretation:
_Vermilion_ was about how when everything you feel is only varying amounts of hate, the crush you have on her _feels_ so close to an escape from that hate, but at some point, you realize who you're _seeing_ is not who you're looking at. Who you're _seeing_ is not real. That your _heart,_ bent on escaping the hate, has inadvertently actually set a trap. The instictual hormonal/pheromonal call and response has been used by your heart against your self-hating mind to get its emotional nails a grip under the mental scab and _(won't let this build up inside of me)_ open the self-loathing abscess to let it drain. A _(won't)_ spiteful will to live using any means necessary _(let this)_ to stop your depressed appetite for self-destruction. A false hope driving you to keep climbing for a _real_ hope.
_Vermilion Pt. 2_ is about how, after the storm, after the break-up, after the end, even though it was wrong, it was not real, it was an illusion; it kept you going a _bit_ longer. Maybe things didn't get _good,_ but they got _better._ Sometimes, though, over the years, the winds of your thoughts sweep the plains of your mind, and they pick up the corpses you've left there. The false hopes. The childish things. The necessary means. The unjustified hates. The mistaken wants. You think about these things, float them before your mind's eye, turning them, twisting them through all axes... is there a new angle to see this from? Is there something new to learn from another observation? Is there more to understand about all this?
Science is all about limited data describing unlimited concepts. Art is all about limited language describing unlimited feelings.
Being human is all about knowing we don't know everything, but doing the best we can with what we do know. Maybe.
It's her soul trying to escape, that's the whole video. She was murdered, and wanted to escape from the hell she was put through, but she can't.
Daaamn she does read the comments
Rachel, the word you were looking for was… Tumbleweed 🤪
You can do the same thing with bodies in Fallout.❤
it would be cool if she watched disasterpiece live in london 2002 so she is afraid of them again 🤣
No part 3?
That's Janna Bossier she's an Actress
Avril Lavigne is the girl in both videos if I'm not mistaken!
My interpretation from the videos is in pt1 she feels alone there are all these people around her but no one seems interested in her she wants love but doesn't see it anywhere. In pt2 she has died and it is from the perspective of the ones she left behind and they are realizing what they lost. I think that's why she looks like an empty shopping bag blowing in the wind like discarded trash.
Have you done the devil and I yet. A very must see very horror, film vibes in the video but it’s good really good.
Please try Before I Forget and The Devil in I
best song ever...but i dint understand what meaning in this song...need some one explain
He built up how she should be and react to him in his mind and when she didn't live up to what he had set out as what she should be to him being a homicidal maniac he killed her and left her body in a field. "She isn't real. I can't make her real" was the realization that what he had set out in his mind as who she was, was not her at all and when that happened he snapped. Not that the character was the most stable person to begin with i mean he killed her just because she didn't live up to his crazy expectation of what he thought she should be to him. Which is how all stalkers act and is a totally pathetic way to exist.
Feels like chasing a high. It isn't real you can't make it real.
Dead Memories
Here's my take. part 1 is about a woman that he becomes infatuated with, and he builds her up to be his ideal woman and obsesses over the image he created of her, and pursues her in a very obsessive and unhealthy way. The whole world is passing by so fast and all he can see is her. Part 2 is about that woman either failing to meet those imposed expectations, or in some way not being the girl he hoped for, maybe unrequited. The videography in pt2 shows that to me. The girl he created in his mind, he realized isn't a living breathing woman, and the whole song is him rationalizing and coping and attempting to "breathe life" into this woman who isn't actually alive, which follows along with the lyrics "she isn't real. I can't make her real" also "a song that no-one sings, the unattainable". I love the videography because it's like SOMETHING is trying to make the body move and stand upright but it's very unnatural and disturbing, which is reflected in the conflict that's going on in his mind when he's realizing that he's trying to twist this woman into being something he can never have
Yes, I agree. I feel the same, she is a real person but he has put her on the pedestal and created an ideal version of her in his mind and he can't ever get that version of her.
Believe it or not Corey did not write the majority of their music. Usually Paul, Joey and Shawn wrote it. Now it is more Corey and Shawn. I gotta say though Corey is an incredible poet and SNUFF shows it perfectly.
Sulfur!!!!!!!!!!! next!
Kinda a slower pace than usual, great song, TRIPPEEEEEE
Rachel, I KNOW you've reacted to "Snuff". But, have you seen the "Snuff" mini movie? With Malcom McDowell? IF you "get it", I think it would explain quite a bit.(Corey IS the GIRL) It explains a lot. And it certainly trickles over into other band projects. NO MATTER HOW you look at it, in the long run, it does NOTHING to detract from Corey's talent. PERIOD!
O clipe é estranho, mas ninguém liga pra clipe, vê a droga da música pow hahahaha

You can try to hear surfacing
Like number 500 😎
“Psychosocial” is my favorite song by them. Great song and reaction! They went through a weird phase and these songs make no sense! Great lyrics and backup vocals but weird videos!
Really? Their most overplayed song of all time. In terms of the "weirdness" this was Volume.3 where Clown started really getting into production. That's why you'll notice this alongside part 1, The Negative One and XIX videos are very similar it's clowns style and he still does it to this day. That was never a phase it's just his style. Also the songs make alot of sense if you actually read the lyrics and put the visual components to it, it's not meant to have a singular purpose or meaning for everyone it's meant to represent a different emotion for the different people listening and watching aka open for interpretation based off your life experiences.
It sounds more like a Stone Sour song
Hai Rayactions... God Blessing You

Great Rachel
Because of you I started to like part 1. Funny enough I have never seen both music videos and also watched it because of you. Anyway which part did you like better? For me second part was always the better song. If you want more Slipknot I recommend Before I forget (they are unmasked..kinda), If you want another balladesque Slipknot there is Gehenna which is also awesome. From newer songs maybe Unsainted? If you like bands that are experimenting with stuff I recommend Bring Me the Horizon - check out their stuff it is almost everything good. 1x1, Parasite Eve, Dear Diary, Kingslayer and later compare it with their old songs. It would be welcome addition to your channel Ray 😃
Lol it's a stalking serial killer's pov b4 and after killing the chick.....in 1st vid everything around is moving at warp speed like obsessive racing thoughts, while 2nd vid is slow sad melancholic introspective tone of finality.
Slipknot - sulfur
Pleassee.....
Not sure if you’ve done these songs by slipknot by 3 great ones to do would be Sulfur, Unsainted, and the devil in I
Somehow you are so cute when fell disgust and confuse
