Marlon Brando lived a succesfull but tragic life, he had 16 children, his son died in prison and daughter killed herself. He had multiple lovers, brang his kids to california once so that's about the california part. This lyric says you cant see the real world without sorrow or understanding what it really is.
What he's saying is "You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes.". Apparently some homeless guy was shouting it at people on the street and Corey found the quote interesting and decided to use it. The pig mask is Bassist Paul Grey (RIP) He did go on to use variations of the pig motif but not as direct and obvious as this one. As for the vocal performance, I myself, am a death metal vocalist and can do growled/screamed vocals for hours and still be ok. It does take a lot of practice to be able to "scream" like that and still be able to talk properly afterwards. there is in fact a vocal coach who goes by the name of Melissa Cross who released a DVD called "The Zen of Screaming" which is what I used to teach myself how to do it properly. She has been the vocal coach to a huge amount of metal vocalists including Corey Taylor, David Draiman (Disturbed) and lead vocalists from Lamb of God, Slayer etc... the list goes on and on
back in 99’ Corey was NOT using any vocal technique. These were just some pure, rough dirty vocal fries and the only conclusion I can think of why he didn’t destroy his vocal cords is simple- look at the size of his fkn neck
Corey has changed the way he does his screaming over the course of his career. In the beginning, especially on the first two albums, he basically didn't use any sort of technique and just went all out. Nowadays he actually does it in a healthy way.
Yea, an a few interviews he mentioned he had to actually go to a vocal coach and learn how to use his whole throat and larynx. For the 1st 2 albums he basically just went in raw. Plus doing the same on tour couple with all of the dope he was smoking he almost destroyed his throat. After shows he'd be in his hotel coughing up blood in the toilet while his then wife was holding his hair out of his face. He said it wasn't until he learned to think of his voice as an instrument that it finally clicked and he started hitting the God tier levels of vocals he's been on since their 3rd release.
As much as I wish he would’ve dropped Iowa 2.0, I prefer that he stopped screaming that way to save his voice, Iowa 2.0 might’ve ended his career too early
I love it so so so much, but Iowa is my favorite metal record ever because it is brutal in ways self titled isn’t which is saying a lot about these first two albums
I think it just depends where your head is at, at the moment, I’d say there first album is more about suffering from psychosis, and Iowa is more about being tired of hated everything
Not to be a stickler but Pan’s Labyrinth isn’t based on a video game, it’s a totally original idea written by Del Toro. It’s a spiritual successor to his film The Devil’s Backbone
This song and “Sic” are the first two songs I hear from Slipknot and sold me on the band. Instant maggot. I’m a drummer and as a kid with a lot anger when this album came out it was everything. This song hit all my angry kid nerves and energy. Also I didn’t know my real dad growing up and the verse in this song when he speaks about his dad hit close at the time.
@@TheAngryMoth104 Corey's warm up before shows in the self titled/Iowa days was screaming as hard as he could for a few minutes, then huffing a dead crows corpse out of a glass jar that clown had. Then throwing up...then go on stage and sing. I'm sure nowadays he's warms up properly. His voice now is not as harsh as when Slipknot came out, but back then he was considered an extreme metal vocalist.
Actually not quite like this - doing this blew his voice out while touring for Iowa and had to change his style. This is using a really damaging technique, but damn if the rawness and brutality isn't fucking legendary.
It's simply that he learned the proper way to use distortion. There's more than one way to make distorted vocals but some of them are extremely unhealthy and damaging and others are healthier and thus safer. Corey went to a vocal coach to learn how to properly utilize distortion after he blew out his voice from doing it improperly. That's why he sounds different on later records--he uses a different vocal approach.
The guy wearing that pig mask was their bassist Paul Gray. He wore a few different various of mask still keeping that sort of pig aesthetic. Sadly he passed away after their All Hope Is Gone record. May he Rest In Peace.
I remember my younger brother bringing this album back home and I totally couldn’t handle it… like how the hell could you hear that stuff… next week I was totally hooked till this day. Slipknot was my entry to aggressive badass metal. Thanks bro!
i vote slipknot’s “prosthetics” for 13 days of halloween since if you time it right there are two saturdays 😉 a lil trivia: corey said that a homeless dude once yelled at him “you can’t see california without marlon brando’s eyes” and he thought it sounded cool and next thing you know it’s part of this epic shit right here 🤘🏻
@Maggotcorps7 does the usage of 'My Plague' for Resident Evil count? Also, and I may be wrong here, did they all also make a split second appearance in the remake of Speedball?
Only reason Corey still has his vocal cords is because he went to the vocal instructor Melissa Cross. She's a juilliard trained vocal coach who fell in love with metal and screaming and felt passionate to teach people how to properly scream without damaging their vocal cords. If you listen to his newer stuff his screams are more metal core oriented unlike his older screams which are more punk derived. Either way he is a vocal beast and a god among men. Keep up the good work guys! Loving the videos!
Phil Anselmo did this to his voice through Vulgar Display all the way to Reinventing the steel, Now he sounds like he smoked 5 packs of cigarettes a day
For me this one is the best Slipknot song. This one is the second (technically the third) of this album and coming right after (sic)… I remember saying: wow, sic was dope but this one get me electrified all day long! The only thing I’ve been wondering all these years is what does “can’t see California without Marlon Brando’s eyes” means…
Love you guys. I’m going to my 1st Slipknot concert ever in 6 days. I’m so stoked and can’t wait. I hope you guys get a chance to react some of the other bands that are touring with them this year. Code orange, The Fever 333 and Killswitch Engage. Peace out guys.
There's a lil squeal on one of the last measures. The sound is literally producer Ross Robinson punching Mick's guitar, I think up high on the fretboard, while he's playing.
I see we are back on the early slipknot again😆 This song has always felt pretty unique to me. The "can't see California without Marlon brando's eyes" line definitely adds to that. It's apparently what a homeless dude shouted at corey at one point and corey decided to put it in a song. And 2 things. The pig mask was Paul. He only wore it on the self titled and then wore others for each album after that he was on (rip). And corey did break his voice. He just forced it for the first 2 albums, where his iowa scream was even worse that his debut for his voice, and then blew it out. He had to reteach himself how to scream afterward but now learn the techniques to it, which is why on vol.3 he sounds so different than he previously did. I think he has ended up forcing it again at certain points but I don't think he's blown his voice out since back then.
KoRn actually pulled in Chino on one of their albums to cover Ice Cube's "Wicked." Was actually a pretty fun track, if you guys get a chance to check it out.
I remember watching a short 10 or 20 minutes mini-film made by Clown, Corey was in it. I think it was more than 10 years ago. Pig mask was dropped when they had a beef with Mushroomhead, their bassist also used to have pig mask.
Shawn Crahan (clown) actually filmed with rob zombie. Also Paul Gray (RIP) wore the pig mask but had to remove it in later albums because one of the members of mushroom head was going to sue him for it. He then chose to use the Hannibal lechtar mask
I know Chino also destroyed his vocal chords early on. He finally got proper technique down though. As far as it goes with Corey Taylor all I can say is have you seen the size of this man's neck?? I know it probably has nothing to do with technique, but it looks like Corey's throat is thick like a damn tree trunk. His scream has clearly changed over the years, but it sure seems like he was built for this style of music.
Favorite track on Self Titled! these are the sickest fucking screams Mr Corey Taylor has ever pulled off… the first two albums from slipknot and deftones have hip hop influence. “You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes" is a quote lead singer Corey Taylor took from a homeless guy on the street while he was in California. The guy was just saying it over and over again, The song was partly inspired by Corey's father, as seen in the phrase "I am my father's son, cause he's a phantom, a mystery, and that leaves me nothing!"
It's funny you should bring up not recognizing the pig mask and I've brought this up before but I think they changed his mask cuz people pointed out so many similarities between Slipknot and Mushroomhead, who's bassist also wore a pig mask and went by the stage name "Pig Benis"
Another great reaction guys! Keep up all the great work. As for to what you should do next but I have seen all of your Slipknot reactions. Just pick anyone and we love it!
Paul wore the pig mask in the beginning. Clown AKA Shawn Crahan was in a movie musical called the Devils Carnival along with many other famous musicians from bands like Skinny Puppy, Five Finger Death Punch and others. I saw them here in Atlanta at the Masquerade when they Opened for Machine Head back in 1999. That was their first time through these parts. Next time they came here was the same place but Kittie Opened up for themselves.
Went to the show last night in MA. it was amazing ! You so have to go to the Knotfest Road show when the23rd when it's in GA. Well I am going back to bed we didn't get home until 2:00. I had to get up to watch Slipknot Sat. though and Eyeless is one of my favorites
The chorus is saying "You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes." The reason for that is because when Corey was in L.A, he heard a homeless guy screaming it and it just stuck with him. From what I've read, this song is based on how pissed off his time having to attend Alateen or Alanon was, which I believe was a rehab program for teenage alcoholics and drug users because they kept telling him his problems were "all in his head." If I'm remembering correctly. How that ties with a homeless person screaming about Marlon Brando; I'm not sure but still an awesome song!!
MUST React to “Surfacing” from the 2002 London Concert. The Best! I think you guys will appreciate the scratching from Sid. & I think Hollywood will enjoy the drop in that video aha
You want to hear rap metal from Disturbed? Check out Liberate, Legion of Monsters, and Meaning of Life. By the way, Corey is saying: "You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes."
For the 13 days of Halloween, a few good slipknot songs to check out would be Virus of life, Prosthetics, and Skin ticket. Also when you guys get some time check out bring me the horizon cover of eyeless its dope.
This is the only Slipknot track I get down with and it's mainly because of that dope-ass Drum&Bass break! Seriously, you guys need to react to Godflesh - "I, Me, Mine" for more old school breaks infused with metal.
I love all the albums and most of their songs but the first two albums are absolutely insane and two of my all time favorite albums of all time. Pantera, Lamb of God, Jinjer are also a few on the top of my list. You guys should check out some Berried alive if you want to see some insane guitar work. Charles Caswell and his wife Kaylie are doing crazy stuff on guitar. Love the channel by the way!!!
Pig mask is Paul Gray. There was actually some issues with his mask and another band (mushroomhead I think) in which one of their members already wore a pig mask and claimed slipknot copied them. Next album, Paul switched it up.
I feel like its worth noting here that Corey had literally no idea what he was doing in terms of how to scream until All Hope is Gone (album 4/6). Which means he was literally screaming his lungs out for every song while simultaneously drinking and smoking, far more than the average person nearly every day. It's a wonder his voice has held up at all, let alone this well.
Hey bros please please do a reaction to Slipknot: Disasterpieces 2002 Live Concert DVD. The whole performance is great if not thier greastest ever. This one show/dvd deverse a full reaction. I would love to see yall do that. I love the wrestling questions to Smoky, dudes genius. I need Smokey on a commentary team soon.
About if slipknot has been in a movie. Corey had a roll in Fear Clinic with Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), Clown has an unmasked cameo in The Vatican Tapes at the end. And the whole band appears performing in a movie called RollerBall if I remember the title correctly!
Corey was just in a horror anthology movie called Bad Candy. And Clown is in one called Devils Carnival as the Lion Tamer. Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch is a hobo clown
There was a homeless guy in cali that stopped them and was persistnt with telling them " you cant see california without marlon brandos eyes" ( however marlon brando is spelled)
He's saying "You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes."
Marlon Brando lived a succesfull but tragic life, he had 16 children, his son died in prison and daughter killed herself. He had multiple lovers, brang his kids to california once so that's about the california part. This lyric says you cant see the real world without sorrow or understanding what it really is.
Apparently a homeless man said this to Corey once and that's where he got the idea.

@@tempsitch5632 yup

Same with Chino Moreno of Deftones. I actually feel in both cases their unhealthy screams sound better.
@@Robert-rl7rd I definitely like the fully natural scream but if his healthy scream let’s him make more music I think we’re all for it haha
I mean, it's better that way in the long run, but at the same time those raw, unhinged, forced screams were just top fucking notch.
I can't choose between Iowa and this album. So dope, it was the game changer.
Iowa. Easy
@@jasonsanders6630 I agree. They’re beatin penn state today for sure
@@whatsthegeedis9688 Agreed

ALL songs from this album are masterpieces
EXACTLY.
and all the songs from the next album are disasterpieces
Not to be a stickler but Pan’s Labyrinth isn’t based on a video game, it’s a totally original idea written by Del Toro. It’s a spiritual successor to his film The Devil’s Backbone
The creepiest, weirdest, scariest songs slipknot ever wrote: Purity, Gently, Iowa, Prosthetics, and Scissors
I would argue Gehenna is a creepy scary song too.
Agreed. I'd also add "The Virus of Life."
@@hayleydavis708 Damn it I knew I was forgetting a song lol. “The Virus of Life” is definitely part of it too.
Prosthetics it's definitely my favorite one, this song is extremely dark.

This was this first Slipknot song i ever heard.. Seen them 8 times since. Still a damn good band
This is one of the greatest reactions I’ve come across yet! I can’t wait to see Slipknot in May.
Damn Eric, thanks bro. Thus means alot to us
i vote slipknot’s “prosthetics” for 13 days of halloween since if you time it right there are two saturdays 😉

This is correct!🍻🤘
Their song ‘My Plague’ was in the resident evil movie
Yes but if they ever react I hope they do the proper version not the radio mix
And Vermillion was in the second RE movie.

IMO This is the Slipknottiest track in their discography. This track made me an instant Maggot.
Yes! Thumbs up, haven't even listened to the reaction yet. this was the first slipknot song i heard back in '99.
By far the best album 🤘🏼still my favourite band . I’m 40
I used to like iowa more but I’m starting to like their self titled album better now
This is for Smokey and Hollywood, Slipknot is gonna be in Alpharetta this month on tour with Killswitch Engage, Code Orange, and Fever 333.
Yep, Saturday October 23rd. I'll be there!
For me this one is the best Slipknot song.

If I remember correctly a homeless guy in LA kept screaming that to Corey, so he just put that in the song.
Purity is a great song. A bit of a change up from the speed and relentlessness of the rest of the album.
Still packs a punch!
Chad Gray is another singer that can scream with out any problems.
Love you guys. I’m going to my 1st Slipknot concert ever in 6 days. I’m so stoked and can’t wait. I hope you guys get a chance to react some of the other bands that are touring with them this year. Code orange, The Fever 333 and Killswitch Engage. Peace out guys.
I’m going to my first slipknot concert at knotfest LA
Slipknot was in the 2002 movie of "Rollerball." It was brief but they were on stage jamming out. There's footage on RUclips.
I was going to mention that.
There's a lil squeal on one of the last measures. The sound is literally producer Ross Robinson punching Mick's guitar, I think up high on the fretboard, while he's playing.
I just got home from seeing Slipknot in concert. I’m here for this
Hyper slipknot is amazing also-check lit Get This. 2 min of you face being smashed. Amazing 🤘🏻
I’ll never forget hearing this at Hot Topic when they use to let you sample CDs. Bought it without knowing one thing about them. Changed my life
Paul Grey was the artist in the mask. He sadly passed away a few years ago. He played bass for them
The pig is their original bassist Paul Gray who unfortunately passed away in 2010. His mask changed after the first album
I see we are back on the early slipknot again😆

KoRn actually pulled in Chino on one of their albums to cover Ice Cube's "Wicked." Was actually a pretty fun track, if you guys get a chance to check it out.
I remember watching a short 10 or 20 minutes mini-film made by Clown, Corey was in it. I think it was more than 10 years ago. Pig mask was dropped when they had a beef with Mushroomhead, their bassist also used to have pig mask.

Left behind is what got me into slipknot. Awesome song

My favorite Slipknot song, just complete ferocity and an adrenal dump.
Favorite track on Self Titled! these are the sickest fucking screams Mr Corey Taylor has ever pulled off… the first two albums from slipknot and deftones have hip hop influence. “You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes" is a quote lead singer Corey Taylor took from a homeless guy on the street while he was in California.

That was fucking EPIC boys, ty!!!
The best thing is that is reminds me of what you haven't heard! Listen to "New Abortion" would be my choice!
I'm tellin' y'all.. both the self titled debut and 'Iowa' are brutal, dark, and fucked up. You haven't even really heard the best of them yet.
*9:05* EPIC
This, SIC and Disasterpieces are still their best 3 songs for me.
Paul wore the pig mask in the beginning. Clown AKA Shawn Crahan was in a movie musical called the Devils Carnival along with many other famous musicians from bands like Skinny Puppy, Five Finger Death Punch and others. I saw them here in Atlanta at the Masquerade when they Opened for Machine Head back in 1999. That was their first time through these parts. Next time they came here was the same place but Kittie Opened up for themselves.
Not every one of the members have collectively been in a movie, but Corey and Shawn have been in a few!
And Mick played a serial killer in a music video.

Slipknot were in the 2002 Rollerball movie remake.
You guys should check out the video for 46&2 where the song is played over that scene from Pan's Labyrinth. Fits really well with the song.

I had this playing for my Jr. Research essay paper. On Marlon Brando. Yeah definitely got iss. Cause the fucks in the song.
Please do Deftones - Be Quiet And Drive (Far Away) ❤️
Obavezno to moraju 🤘
This is the only Slipknot track I get down with and it's mainly because of that dope-ass Drum&Bass break! Seriously, you guys need to react to Godflesh - "I, Me, Mine" for more old school breaks infused with metal.
I love all the albums and most of their songs but the first two albums are absolutely insane and two of my all time favorite albums of all time. Pantera, Lamb of God, Jinjer are also a few on the top of my list. You guys should check out some Berried alive if you want to see some insane guitar work. Charles Caswell and his wife Kaylie are doing crazy stuff on guitar. Love the channel by the way!!!
U haven’t seen the pig mask because he switched after this album im pretty sure and then passed away. His name is Paul Gray
Pig mask is Paul Gray. There was actually some issues with his mask and another band (mushroomhead I think) in which one of their members already wore a pig mask and claimed slipknot copied them. Next album, Paul switched it up.
The memories from the mosh pits.... lovely. You really can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes.
I’ll never forget when this album dropped. It changed everything. I love this Corey. Just fuckin heavy.
Corey Taylor was in Sharknado 4 and Bad Candy (2020)
I feel like its worth noting here that Corey had literally no idea what he was doing in terms of how to scream until All Hope is Gone (album 4/6). Which means he was literally screaming his lungs out for every song while simultaneously drinking and smoking, far more than the average person nearly every day. It's a wonder his voice has held up at all, let alone this well.
Don't know if any of them have done a horror movie, but Corey did the screams for a Doctor Who character called the Fischer King.
Hey bros please please do a reaction to Slipknot: Disasterpieces 2002 Live Concert DVD. The whole performance is great if not thier greastest ever. This one show/dvd deverse a full reaction. I would love to see yall do that. I love the wrestling questions to Smoky, dudes genius. I need Smokey on a commentary team soon.
About if slipknot has been in a movie. Corey had a roll in Fear Clinic with Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger), Clown has an unmasked cameo in The Vatican Tapes at the end.
And the whole band appears performing in a movie called RollerBall if I remember the title correctly!
Corey Taylor does act in a movie along with Robert Englund called, "Fear Clinic".
Slipknot was in rollerball. And clown a movie called officer down which had Corey in it briefly
I LUV THIS SONG LMFAO AHH
also, paul gray died in 2010 due to drug overdose. RIP Paul
Eyeless is Slipknot's best song IMO
The pig mask wasn't being worn by Paul Grey after that album because the guitarist from Mushroom head did it first and Paul had to change his.
Cant believe you guys have never done Surfacing. One of slipknot very best.
Yay Slipknot Sat! Yall gotta do Surfacing at some point. Prob the most angry and violent song they have
Corey was just in a horror anthology movie called Bad Candy. And Clown is in one called Devils Carnival as the Lion Tamer. Ivan Moody from Five Finger Death Punch is a hobo clown
You really hear DJ starscreams DnB roots at the beginning of this song.
my fave slipknot song. good stuff
Shawn (Clown) was in Devil’s Carnival, pretty sure Corey’s been in some stuff
It's a must that yall check out alex terribles vocal cover to this song, yall will love it especially with his energy
There was a homeless guy in cali that stopped them and was persistnt with telling them " you cant see california without marlon brandos eyes" ( however marlon brando is spelled)
2nd song i ever heard by them ... 'Wait and bleed' had my curiosity, Eyeless got my attention... the rest is history
