Slipknot is popular because they're amazing, not because they're sellouts or something. They're clean and well orchestrated, yet they still feel raw and true. They're much like Metallica in that way, where the emotion is still there, but the music is so, I want to say, mechanically timed, like it was written by computers. Honestly, they're just great and metal elitists can suck it lol.
I just wanted to say that I appreciate your comment. Cheers
>but the music is so, I want to say, mechanically timed, like it was written by computers.
In music circles we usually say that it's tight
Mechanically timed. Yeah, they're just artists. They really create art.
They dont even know music theory except the lead guitarist thompson but they still jam man one of my favs
Slipknot has become more and more "accessible" to non metal fans, whether it's for their catchy tunes, awesome masks, or their flashy performance, and I think that's why a lot of metalheads (or elitists) hate them.
You two are classy as hell. I’m really into how you approach music. Thanks for sharing.
i rly like it too
Damned! :)
Just replace Eyes with Ass.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Hell FXCKING yea!
"It almost sounds like a pop star that can pull off metal." - you guys literally defined Corey Taylor haha.
amen to that 🙏🏾
Literally!!
Factsss
Yo facts I was about to say that😂
Im sure that's not what he was wanting people to think about him. He's gone on record saying he made a mistake with thiS album
Corey Taylor is a 4 octave singer, rare to metal
and still can't hold a candle to Chester B… RIP>
Kevin Li chester was on a level with micheal Jackson,whitney Houston,steve perry,robert plant,ozzy,bono,Aretha,celine, all the greatest vocalists of all time
along with serj tankian
We will have to agree to disagree on Chester, and serj is unique for sure. System is an amazing band, but he is a very niche vocalist with a limited skill set.
What about David draiman?
Please ignore kids who say this isn't metal. They just want you to listen to some obscure band you've probably never heard of. Slipknot is good, even if it doesn't fit some elitist obscure genre.
I grew up listening to Slipknot, and once I found out about more death metal and black metal bands, I stopped listening to them and started becoming more of a metal "elitist". These days, over a decade later, I have come back to appreciating what they are. It's not quite what I look for anymore, but I do appreciate what they are. They are a great band, but they are not the HARDEST OF THE HARDEST, nor do they claim to be. They are just who they are, like it or not.
I Literally Just Pooped My Pants Yeah. I'm always gonna be a fan of what I grew up listening to. Sometimes you need the nostalgia. My favorite metal song ever is Freak On A Leash as it was the first metal song I ever heard when I was 8. Im now more into what many other metal fans hate.
James Anderson I always listen to metal but now I'm not an elitist anymore I enjoy listening to Pierce the veil and paramore
I personally don't like slipknot but I respect them as a band and they have paved the way for a lot of bands.
*Foolish* Demon
Ha that's awesome, my 2nd tape purchase ever was Korn's Follow the Leader. I'm also huge into not metal music. But I'm also huge into brutal death metal. From Oneohtrix Point Never, to Al Di Meola, to Burzum, I dig it.
“He almost sounds like a pop star with the ability to pull of metal.” I mean, that’s basically Corey in a nutshell. He can do pretty melodies and can also scream like he’s Satan after breaking through the gates of hell
Slipknot is a tight band. Play “wait and bleed”
I'd like to hear what they have to say about spit it out.
As hip hop guys who like metal, I think they'd lose they're damn minds.
I think that something extreme for them would be people = shit. Drastic and angry but has some of the best thrashing moments from any of their songs
@@damoose7672 I wanna see that reaction to people = shit
"That drummer tho"
Which one?
How about Mr. I'm gonna hit a trash can with a baseball bat and call myself Lars' snare drum?
joey LMAO
@@___meph___4547 I never said I was against clown. Shawn is the only founding member left and I think he is fantastic. I was more making a joke at Lars' expense
Personally, Joey!
The good one
"hes going through some shit" lololol slipknot in a nutshell
lmaaaao yesss. X'DDD
I love listening to Corey talk about his life and life in general. The guy is super smart and really eloquent.
Hear some gods plan then
That should be the sub title to all their albums
The drummer, Joey Jordison, was crowned one of the top 3 metal drummers in the world. Hes a complete BEAST
Funny thing is he's not only a great drummer. He can play guitar like a beast, write like a beast, and produce like a beast.
Niko's Closet
And where was he crowned?
Niko's Closet deservingly crowned.. actually, he made the crown is bitch. He's a god
Keely Templeton - I think of Joey as more of an Anti-God, but I think we've arrived at the same conclusion, lol.
So it’s Peart, Carey then Jordison? Jordi is good, but not even close to that level. (Think Paul, Cavalera, Lombardo etc)
This song is about Cory Taylor getting sober. He was a severe alcoholic and went cold turkey.
I love how you two are so open minded about all of the songs you react to/review. It's so refreshing. Thanks for keeping it real!
MAAAAANNNN! Do I appreciate the hell out of these guys for stepping into a misunderstood genre. For pausing and breaking down the lyrics and respectfully critiquing the music. Not just saying it's loud and it just sounds like "RAAAAAWWWWRRRR" NO NO NO slipknot is such a great band and these dudes get it. Deff just hit subscribe and I appreciate ur outlook on metal and respect for the genre. 🤘🏼😜😎
WELL said, dude!
took the words right out of my mouth
This is why I watch their videos
Absolutely! Made a new fan here.
KarlWayskii frfr
For being new to metal, you guys sure have a handle on some widely talked about metal issues. Like Lars being among the weaker thrash drummers, Slipknot's questionable acceptance, and if Gojira is accepted among metal elitists. It shows you guys take an interest in things beyond the song at hand and that encourage a deeper dialogue. Keep up the good work guys!
We owe it to the comments section sir! Lol. We've seen some very in depth conversations and opinions expressed here.
How do you even have time to read them all though haha! And yeah Lars is very criticized for not being a huge technician, but I personally love what he does, he always finds ways to enhance songs by adding very distinctive grooves, patterns, efficiency. He won't always go for the flashiest option, but he'll choose the one that serves the song the most, even if it's a rather simple beat. And I love that. On a sidenote, you guys should REALLY review FEAR FACTORY, since a few of the bands you've reacted to now (Gojira, Slipknot...) have actually been influenced by or tried to copy them. Sweet and short songs representative of their hugely influential and essential body of work: Self Bias Resistor, or Zero Signal. Playlist material absolutely guaranteed since it is one of the 10 best metal albums of all time.
Screw the haters man, Lars Ulrich is a great drummer. He gets all the shit for different reasons: Metallica being more commercial, he obviously doesn't play like the early years, his personality. I get it, he can be a bit of a douche. But we can't deny that he's been one of the best drummers in metal history.
Justin Dieter well said
Agreed! Even though I find my opinions falling more in line with the "metal elitists" (I guess because I am one, lol), I love that Lost in Vegas are provoking the dialogue and addressing the issues. I think we still have time to turn them to the Dark Side though. ;)
Slipknot was one of the first Metal bands I got into when I was 14. I’m now 31 and I still feel they’re top-tier 🤘🤘🤘
I know this is 2 years late, but yeah I feel ya. same situation here and the stuff they were doing 20 years ago is STILL tight af
I know I'm late with this post, but if a person is a true fan of a band, then they should appreciate the changes. I started listening to Slipknot back when AHIG debuted and was hooked when I heard songs like Psychosocial, Snuff (my personal favorite from Slipknot), and Sulfur. Yes, it does suck that Paul Gray, Joey Jordison, and Chris Fehn are no longer members but the band found great replacements in Jay Weinberg, Michael Pfaff, and Alessandro Ventruello who are all amazing musicians.
I love that you guys recognize how the musicians play off each other and feed each other. I've seen bands audition some incredible musicians to fill empty spots, but will pass them up if they didn't fit the family. Five skilled musicians who are like brothers will invariably make better music than five master musicians who have no connection with each other. It shows in the music.
Cemetery Gates by Pantera! Simply one of the best songs ever, hands down.
Daniel Verdini I own projects, metal magic, I am the night, and power metal. I also own the Dimevision discs along with he came to rock. Cemetery Gates is a great song and you don't have to be mainstream to like it. I'm by far a mainstream fan.
Cemetery Gates by The Smiths
You guys gotta listen to Spit It Out if you wanna hear Cory Taylor flow
Bryan Reiter I was thinking the exact same thing
They would go nuts for spit it out
abso-fuckin-lutely :)
Bryan Reiter Only One, No Life, and I Am Hated would be cool
Inferno oh hell mutha uffen yeah bro
You really need to listen to Spit it Out by Slipknot. Basically a hybrid of rap and nu metal.
nu metal is a hybrid of rap and metal
@@nicorido no its not, listen to korn or deftones no rap there
Watch some interviews with JD, he was heavily influenced by hip-hop.
They should not just listen to the song, they should SEE the live performence from the Disasterpieces DVD!!!
Worst Slipknot song ever
Metalheads might have an anti-Slipknot bias because they do follow a pop formula on some songs.... but they might also be mad for the reason I always was; telling someone you listen to metal and they go “oh like slipknot?”
and have a mental image of their specific fan base, and as a young person you want people to “get” your identity I guess... not get it wrong lol
They have been around long enough to prove themselves musically in my opinion, even if I was never a big fan.
One of the most concise and precise comments I read on this channel.
You guys nailed it on the voice. Most people dont realize, that metal singers who scream and growl, can alrdy sing beautifully. They just tense up there diaphram and control the pressure of the air releasing
Agreed. See Pantera: Cemetery Gates
You two make me so happy. As a metal head....your commentary makes me feel joy. You get it, you broke it down, and understood the intensity that is slipknot.
“Sounds like he’s goin through some shit” you have no idea lol
They mostly do with metal.
I've been through some shit, but I never grew up in Iowa
“If the pain goes onnnnn.... EUGHHHHHHH”
Y’all are like the only good reaction channel lmao
Because they actually react! I wish they didn’t have to make the disclaimer that they pause throughout the video, because as far as I’m concerned they should! I like that they stop to absorb what they just listened to and discuss it. So many of these “reaction” channels are just people sitting there listening and giving the most basic thoughts at the very end. It’s a waste of time. You can tell George and Ryan are sincerely listening to every song they feature.
Let's not forget that they also have meaningful reactions and something of substance to say. I've seen many reaction channels that do react, but what they say has no relevance and is just empty.
MRFredstt
It's fun to see people react to something they never expected (Like the Jinjer - Pisces "live" performance video), but it's not really content that makes you interested in returning. These guys give you both the pleasure of seeing 2 guys react to something they may or may not be prepared for, but what keeps you coming back is how they then process everything and relay it back to you with knowledge on music in general. Even if it's a topic they acknowledge isn't their forte, they still bring a ton of insight and questions to make you either think on it too or give them a response for them to think about.
Because they’re actually intelligent guys, with a broad vocabulary, and don’t act all fake, they’re the best.
Pantera - Domination has got to be done. But another great reaction guys love the honesty and appreciation of metal.
Live in Moscow
The technical term for how the guitar and drums play off of each other is called "Call and Response" nice job noticing that! It really adds to a piece of music. I love when metal bands are still musically sound instead of just loud.
These guys are in a league of their own, metal or something more. They have their own place in rock music. Love your content.
Since you were talking about Corey Taylor “flowing” on this one, I have to again recommend “spit it out” by Slipknot!
Dorsey Faught or the song from the same album called "Only One". So fucking good. A lot of their songs get overlooked. I was a big fan from 99-04.
Dorsey Faught
Only One and No Life are good examples.
Black dudes diggin into metal, fuckin love it.
There's alot of Black/African American metal musicians
Check out Tosin Abasi
Rangam Sarmah Animals As Leaders is weird af. Love it.
T Y L E R We exist.
My Rock/Metal sees no color, if a man respects my right to carry a .45 and not speak against God then he is ok in my book regardless of race.
Love how you guys pick apart and look between the lines with metal! It is an underappreciated genre of music, and hearing you guys jam to it made my night!
You two have a transcending ear for music. My favorite music reaction channel.
Super late to this, but if you happen to read it: Slipknot is one of a couple bands that saved metal from going 100% underground at the turn of the millennium. Maybe even THE band. Many of us have grown beyond Slipknot at this point, but I think most of us would say that we are more than PROUD of Slipknot and what they have done. Outstanding band.
Anthony Kerr Also people forget that both the first album and the second, Iowa, were incredibly raw and heavy and still getting played on the radio. Stuff like this just wasn’t getting played on mainstream radio or MTV at the time, but Slipknot pulled it off.
What is wrong with the UG, boy?
Keep it in the underground.
Actually, what was probably more important was that Maiden, Sabbath and Metallica came back from some shitty periods (St. Anger) on the one hand, where on the other hand, great new bands emerged that started to push boundaries of the metal genre even further. Fallujah, Shokran, Myrath come to mind here.
Dude can flow, yes. Very much so.
he flows about as much as his grandmammy's menstrual blood.
yo eyeball, listen to spit it out bro and come back bro that flow is pretty sick, dont hate, educate.
IS COKE OKAY THANK YOU! someone gets it
Best reaction channel on RUclips, it’s not even close. Great videos guys.
This was heavily played on my local rock radio station in the early 2000s. Love it
Metal elitists hate slipknot because they're mainstream. Anyone with a decent taste of music can see their worth and quality.
i mostly listen to heavier stuff these days but i still listen to bands like slipknot and recognize their place in metal/rock
i still remember the 8 year old me in 2004, hearing three nil for the first time from my cousin, wondering wtf is this and is there more
slipknot is mainstream
Slipknot is mainstream? Hardly.
Arata Kasuga As far as metal goes, Slipknot is as mainstream as you can get
If people are considering Metalica or Black Sabbath as metal, than I would say they are for more known and mainstream. I may remember it wrong, or it may be where I lived at the time, but Slipknot was not played all that much on the radio nor was it really known very well to my peers or even the parents/older siblings of my peers.
Goddamn! You guys nailed it again! Most metal elitist don’t like Slipknot! But just as you said, Corey is an awesome singer! The band are really good musicians but just different than classic metal.
Sludge Factor agree
Sludge Factor Corey is one on my favorites next to The Kid!
You can't not like Cory, you can not like his genre but his voice is increadable, Stone Sour or Slipknot
hell id go gay for corey. whatever.
brian s. That’s cool if you think that! Most of the metalheads I know do not really care for Slipknot. I’m talking thrash/sludge/doom/death guys. I’m not saying I’m right! Just speaking of the guys I know and posts I’ve read in the past. I could be totally wrong!
I ADORE your reaction. THANK YOU!!!
-sincerely,
a metal kitten
It's a special trait to hear mucic. A lot of people listen, but to hear it and have appreciation for every genre is amazing. I love rap, country, metal, pop, hip hop, folk etc. Slipknot is one of my favorites! Y'all are awesome👍🏼👍🏼
I have to put my two cents in, even though I haven’t read any other comments. First off, thanks to you guys again for putting up a cool metal review. It’s still great to see non-metal people checking out metal. It’s amazing.
Now, to Slipknot...
This band has literally saved my life. When I was deployed to Iraq in 2005, I would listen to their “Iowa” album every morning so I could get myself ready for the day...and whatever it may have brought. Their music got my mind right with facing death and allowed me to do my job well. That being said, there’s lots of bias to my opinion of Slipknot, and I know people are different, but I still think they’re a great band musically, and they’re the most unlikely success story you could ever hear of.
Think about it...a NINE-PIECE band, from Des Moines, Iowa, in masks, playing brutal heavy metal. Yet, here they are at the top of metal’s ranks and still killing it today. That’s really saying something to their talent, musicality, and their willingness to stick to their guns and make music they want to.
Also, each member has a great story to tell, and if you are interested, I recommend reading up on them. Thanks again!
"He sounds like a pop star, that has the ability to pull off metal" Id like to see Coreys reaction to that lol
He'd probably off himself lol
MockingBunny321 B So what you’re saying is, what does Corey Taylor thing about this?
I'd like to think he's smart enough to understand the context of the comment as much as the surface of the comment itself. These are guys that aren't in the metal "scene" talking about metal. By their own admission are ignorant of a lot of that "scene". But, they're bright, willing, and open minded critics. And in the context of these guys as the critics, the pop reference isn't insulting or antagonistic. They even piled on the caveats to make that clear. So - as I started with - I'd like to think Taylor would hear that, laugh about it and what his fans might think about it, and ultimately appreciate it for the compliment it is. In that they're saying he doesn't just growl and yell, but can also sing pretty f'ing well if it's called for. If he can't appreciate that - he's an idiot.
mark schlipper i srsly cannot be fucked reading ur reply
Its actually a good description upon first hearing him. His singing voice is pretty pop. He not technically great at singing. His voice isnt that soulful. Think i was in 7th grade when the first album dropped. Heard wait and bleed and loved it. They were the last for lack if a bettrr term nu metal band i really was into. Grew up loving korn up until issues. Dont care for any album after that. The first limp bizkit record is good fuck what anyone says hahs. Not amazing or anything but it was pretty original. Wes guitar playin really stands out. Then thru that type of music i got into metal but really into hardcore. Loved that shit haha. Was a huge positive influence in my life and bein ba musician was really good bein involved in thr hxc scene
Slipknot is a metal leader and they have worked their asses of to get there. Props to them. Thanks for a Slipknot review George and Ryan.
Are you high?
This is great. Their reactions are classic. Like no matter who this is the most common reaction play by play! Love it
More Slipknot please! Here are some other great songs from them:
- Wait and Bleed
- Before I Forget
- Psychosocial
- The Devil in I
- Vermilion
- Sulfur
no. no more. i beg you. i can take only so much trash can bashing and mask wearing mediocrity.
People =shit from the album Iowa fuck these radio riff songs slipknot has so many better songs than anything they play on the radio
hertic anthem
I know that they have some songs out there that may be better than these by Slipknot, but in my opinion, these are their best songs in terms of a largest audience. Yes, their most marketable songs, but for good reason. However, I must also mention - The Blister Exists, because that song is one of my personal favorites
ANDR0ID psychosocial
Elitists do not like Slipknot. Open minded metal heads like myself can dig them though. I don't paint myself into a corner when it comes to metal. I listen to and appreciate all of it's different sub genres.
Lurch Murphy perfect response
Lol i dont really think elitist like anything. They hate themselves so much their incapable liking anything.
Shaun Rice 99% of metal elitists I've talked to, only like Black Metal.
Fuck that elite bullshit . Slipknot fucking rocks man !!
I never really what was so great about Black Metal.
I just recently started watching your content and have to admit you guys are awesomely great! I love how you listen to everything with an open mind and critique with no bias or any preconceived notions. Thanks for all the hard work and amazing content guys!
I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say I appreciate you guys for really breaking down the lyrics. Genuinely interested in any song y’all rock too. Favorite reaction vids hands down.
As a metal head I love these videos! It’s incredibly awesome to see people with different taste in music enjoying some of the greatest songs metal has to offer.
Keep it up!!!
Corey can spit some bars
It was more pronounced in Slipknot's early days, but Corey can definitely spit fire (figuratively and literally).
SatanSupimpa yupp. Just listen to spit it out or no life.
He definitely spits. In jumpdafuckup his flow is undeniably fresh.
I never got into Soulfly but I do know that song. It is an amazing song full of pure flow.
Spit some bars? I really don't understand you kids.
You two guys make watching reaction videos so much fun. I’ve been listening to metal since the early 80s and your reactions take me back to a time when I enjoyed metal. Thank you and long live metal heads...
You wanna hear Corey Taylor flow listen too Spit It Out, which is arguably one is their best songs
Or no life
Brandon Bley my fav song is psychosocial and the devil in I
Or wait and bleed
I love Slipknot BECAUSE they’re marketable and get people into metal that wouldn’t have otherwise heard it. I’m a “frat boy” and I love all types of music because different music evokes different emotions. I got into metal because everyone feels those angry, passionate emotions sometimes and just wants to headbang!! 🤘🏻
Metal is a big outlet for me. It's like, there's this guy tearing his lungs out about something, and that's enough anger for both of us. It's really cathartic, in a strange sort of way.
Pantera "Cemetery Gates"
YESSSSSSSSSSSSS
YEEEESSSSSSSSS
HELL YEAH!!!
Cliff-Ranger48 absolutely
Your breakdown is pretty spot on. Cory is an amazing talent.
I’m really loving the metal reviews! Glad I found your channel
Man I couldn't stop smiling watching you guys react, slipknot is probably one of my all time favorites. When it comes down to it, you like what you like. People can disagree, and that's okay. Glad that you guys seemed to enjoy it, you should check out Before I Forget, Sulfur, Gently, No Life, a wide variety from them throughout the years
Cory Taylor lead singer to Slipknot has a great voice! Check out Stone Sour “Through Glass”
Or "bother".........or even "get inside"
Or #3
You guys must be new to this
Yess and i love fabules
My thoughts exactly.
Discovered your channel night before last & this is the 2nd night up till 5am from 9pm. Love your work
You guys are so awesome haha 😂 I love hearing your thoughts on all my favourite artists. I get so excited to see the drops make you react hahaha 😂 keep it coming guys !
slipknot- Before i forget
"if something is popular it seems it's automatically deemed terrible" that's totally accurate for the "true" metal community :D
Michele Castellani Quote of the fucking YEAR, right there. Hahaha.
you spelled "trve" wrong :D
Michele Castellani trve
If it has annoying jaw harp riffs and you don't like those you're not close minded, but f you decided it's bad because you don't like it then yeah, you are a pretentious douchecanoe and need to get the chip off your shoulder. Nobody voted you king of all metal opinions. If you can't enjoy what you enjoy and let others do the same you should sit. down.
Amen Michele Castellani. It drives me nuts that my fellow metal heads cop this attitude. It's one thing to not like something because you think it's bad for whatever reason. It's bullshit when you expect other people not to like it and expect other people to think it's bad simply because you think it's bad, especially if that reason it's bad is popularity.
Gotta check out more Slipknot guys, i think you two specifically would enjoy "Before I Forget"
This is my favorite reaction video ever lol loved slipknot foreverrrr and idk why but I just now got into reaction videos for the first time and lol! They got so into it. Love ittt
Omg dude! Slipknot is the band that got me into really really heavy music much respect!
I'll touch on a few things to give you guys some perspective. That drummer getting down? There's three. Slipknot has 9 members, including a drummer, 2 percussionists beating on whatever (mostly trashcans though), a DJ and a sampler. That singer that's so good? That's Corey Taylor, the same frontman for Stone Sour. Check out their song Bother to really get into his melody. Also, yes, he flows. With some of the earliest tracks he's on, he does straight up rap sometimes. And he's a poet with his lyrics. Consider him the Tupac of the rock community. And I don't say that lightly. I've read A Rose from Concrete. One other thing ya'll talk about though...metal's elitism. Yeah, we can be a snobby community, though it's honestly not as much about innovation as you think. Because if a band changes their sound, a lot of fans will throw them under the bus for it. It's a lot more because outsiders gravitate towards metal to begin with, so there's a sense of exclusion from the beginning. Say I find this band that I like, that's MY band. And if they get big enough that they're "pop", then I've lost my exlusivity of liking this band. Think in those terms, at least to some extent, about the elitism of metal fans. I'm with ya'll though. If it's good, it's good. And Slipknot has a lot of good stuff. And they are metal. Don't let anyone tell you different.
Jason McDaniel j.j. is the actual drummer and the trash cans and kegs are beautiful.... everything else he said here is spot on.
@lostinvegas
I think its great that Metalheads get to tell you their favorite songs...and you guys are so open minded in your reviews. The Duality video is fun to watch also....fans at close quarters! Thanks again for your content!
As a drummer, y’all’s reaction at 4:17 got me HYPED! I really do love and respect you guys man… I grew up somewhat in/out the hood and listened to EVERYTHING and my friends and most family members almost STRICTLY listened to hiphop/rap/r&b and my childhood bestfriend now brother for life has always been a gospel bassist, and when I brought a different perspective and different genres, seeing their reactions was the greatest feeling! And learning gospel drums and drumming in so many other genres throughout my life was the same feeling for me! Music brings us all together! Mad love, respect and peace to y’all boys 🙏✌️
Pay no attention to the metal snobs and elitists. As a metal community altogether we historically have been, and continue to still be, our own worst enemy when it comes to expanding rock & metal music. So don't pay us any attention. We always have to find a way to keep our genre from growing in popularity by trashing the bands who suddenly create some music that your typically non-metal listeners begin to like.
For whatever reason or another, we can't consider anything "good metal" if more than 100 people belong to their fanbase, and if you can hear the singer actually sing. So don't worry about metal fans. If we knew what we were doing, we wouldn't have limited our genre's appeal by scaring away all the potential new listeners so often in the past 25 years like we've done.
Just like the punk community, anything that's "commercial" is bad, but they worship the sex pistols who are essentially a boy band that was created to promote a clothing company.
same goes for mostly every genre of music
Truth
you don't understand the metal underground, but it's ok, we don't care.
Just look at avenged sevenfold- our community butchers our own kind.
Never was a slipknot fan, but I always got a kick out of this song, and I can totally recognize the talent in the band (especially that drummer)
Man great work guys, got me having goosebumps again like it was my first time again! Chur bruddas!
Old school metal head here and Slipknot are magnificent musicians and Coreys voice is top notch. They are creative , heavy and a breath of fresh air in metal. Unpredictable and dangerous. My favorite combination for a dominant metal band (iesee Metallica)
"Yeah that sounds raw right there, that wong wong wong" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 i love this channel
Corey Taylor is amazing one of my most favorite singers in the world
zane 2122 same here man
Yes dude he is so talented
I would go further and would say that hes maybe the best singer whos alive today
He actually IS in a pop/rock band called “Stone Sour”. Great perception, George!
These guys REALLY get the whole picture.
They go by feel, flow, lyrics, melody, riffs, beats...
I like how they can just break it all down so completely and even
spot things like flowing and elitism in their analysis.
Very complete and thorough.
Just a joy to watch!
\m/
Metal fans are notoriously elitist and snotty (and I'm one of them). But at least I try to keep my mind open. Yes I trash some of many popular acts because I simply don't like their sound. But I also recognize the qualities of the bands that gain popularity.
Slipknot has always had a very dope lead singer. And some of their radio hits are utterly infectious. Yea it's mainstream metal. No it's not as brutal as some of the other metal songs out there.
But you know what? That's ok. I think it still sounds dope.
"facepalm" *stfu*
Beastly Beast you’re an amazing person.
Lucas Issa dude you’re just a follower. If you were an actual fan of music you would be open minded.
Beastly Beast TRUTHHHHH!
Im a thrash-metal guy (Metallica, Slayer etc.) but I still like some of Slipknots olders songs. Duality in my mind is when Slipknot started to go a bit commercial... Good video!

Tjorpas I agree. Nothing they have done has ever been as good as that first album.
I loved the first album, but I think the second one is better. They removed a lot of the hip-hop elements that ran through the first album, and the musicianship/song writing improved. When I listen to the first album now I feel like a lot of those hip hop elements date the music.
The drums before the last push my fingers into my eyes always gets me
Love y’all videos keep the reaction up I’ll always watch!
“I stick my chin up” lol😂
Lol!
Lost In Vegas you guys should check out Stone Sour- Through glass. Its the vocalists (Corey Taylor) other band and it shows his versatility with his clean vocals more!
I stick my chin up into my EYES!
If you think Corey Taylor is flowing a little bit in this. You guys should definitely listen to Slipknot - "Spit It Out" he goes hard with flowing to metal in that. :D Love that you guys pause it and explain your opinions.
No idea how i ended up down this rabbit hole. Digging the reviews fellas. Been taking it in for hours.
Definately just like and subscribed. you guys are cool as hell. I clicked cuz slipknot is my favorite band. Love the unbiased and educated reactions.
Slipknot -wait and bleed
I said the same thing
john zepeda without a doubt if Corey was a lead singer of an alternative rock band he would be a phenomenal singer
at the time
and LEFT BEHIND!!!
@@billyshity4045 stone sour
listen to Spit It Out By slipknot. You might enjoy it a lot since you guys are rap fans
YES, BUT THE REMAKE ("HYPER" VERSION!)
or Only one
BOOST THIS COMMENT! Corey has mad flow! Also, "Wither" with Tech N9ne
'No Life' is also an awesome display of vocals
Dude yes. All these songs show how much he loves rapping. And doing it mighty fucking well I might add.
Please do more Slipknot! I felt so validated to hear you guys say things I've been telling my "metal elitist" friends for years man... I love hip hip and many other genres, which is what lead me to discover you guys. Metal is another genre I love to jam, and Slipknot has been one of my favorites ever since I first heard them (and I had no idea who I was hearing at the time, I just knew it sounded dope). Do some more Slipknot reviews man. They have a lot of depth and you'll be surprised!
I’ve been a fan since middle school; I’m happy y’all are feeling them!!!💕
The only reason a part of the metal community didn't like Slipknot was that they were hugely popular back in the day, even among non metalheads and conservative metal fans didn't like that.
Oh and it was mainly popular with teens, and you know how teens are... so when you were a metalhead (=an outsider) and someone from your class who didn't listen to metal at all suddenly liked slipknot and told everyone about it, you would just hate them because in fact you hated that guy...
thats not exactly true, i mean i like them, but they are pretty simple and not very unique other than the masks. the reason some people dont like them is the same reason ppl dont like pop music, its simple and catchy, which is why its popular. not bashing slipknot, but they do have like 8 members, and play pretty basic shit.
i get your point, but me, a metal elitist, always understood they take on metal, i mean, they write catchy songs, and they are good at it, blending some death metal stuff here and there, like blinking an eye and lets conspire against the mainstream, thats seems to be their attitude...
DylanTheSmylan the riffs are simple, but if you listen to the overall compositions there is a lot going on. Also, you'll often need to listen outside of the singles for their better stuff. Try Skin Ticket, great atmosphere there.
ik what your saying, i have a slipknot patch on my vest, i like some of their stuff, but their newer stuff, well, i feel they arent that musically talented, the guitarist, vocalist, and drummer, well, joey, were talented. i dont know much about djs but sid seems pretty talented too, the others, well, not really. look when joey got kicked out, i left too :D
There's nothing wrong with simple either. Some of the best black metal is extremely simple.
Almost 50 years of metal history, and there are still metal-hipsters who proclaim that only their brand of underground/lesser-known/niche genre music is the only "real metal." Try broadening your horizons and listening to what you like rather than what you think makes you edgy and cool.
DeweyManloveX For me, it's not about what's edgy or cool. It's about excitement in innovation. I want to hear something I've never heard before. My gripe with this song is the sing-songy chorus. It's just been done to death and sounds uninspired. All just personal preference, of course, but that's my reasoning for skipping over newer Slipknot.
LOL "edgy or cool" I know of about 4 people who think any of what I listen to is cool. One is my husband, one is my brother, one guy worked at a butcher dept in a grocery store I was in wearing a Moonspell shirt, and the other is my husbands cousin who I have met one time.
I was referring to people who think that they're cool because they listen to music that others hate or don't know about, not that any given music itself is or is not considered cool. The type of people who say "I used to listen to them before they got commercial." by which they mean I only listen to obscure non-popular (as opposed to unpopular) things because I think that makes me super-hip and cool.
That is a great thing, and I agree. But calling more popular music crap simply because it's popular and then referencing an obscure Psycho-polka-blackish-retro-bluescore band (for example) as "real" metal is simply being a hipster with a leather coat and long hair--instead of a fedora and neck-beard.
Been listening to your channel for a little bit now, and I gotta say that I've enjoyed it immensely. I'm 50 years old and have been listening to metal or its Rock/hard rock predecessors my whole life. I've also been told my whole life that my music is shit. I am so glad that you two have discovered what makes this music great. I'm definitely a metalhead, but can appreciate all music, or at least parts of it. Open minded free thinking! Thanks for putting that first. Keep doing what you're doing because you're doing it well!!! 🤘😎🤘
You guys are awesome! You should react to Snuff or Wait and Bleed. It really shows Corey's versatility.
Slipknot is great! People focus too much on how “hard” something is by how low the guitars and tuned and if it’s “difficult” sounding. Slipknot is a great balance between the two in my opinion. The devil in I is one of my favorites by them.
check las album from vektor XD they're tunned above standar E and check the sound XDXD
You should give pantera another chance with domination

The best metal band to do it for 20+ years! Can’t wait to see them Aug 16 in Noblesville. Nice job guys 🤘🏻
(Metal Elitist) Slipknot is the definition of epic. Corey Taylor's voice is so versatile and amazing. He throws his entire self into his singing. Much love and respect.
Metal elitists would say that slipknot is trash...but they be wrong
Dumbasses would be more accurate.
They're lyrically amazing, reason why they're first band I got into.
Then slayer Metallica Megadeth

A lot of people from slipknot get introduced into different metal genres
For a lot of people slipknot is the gateway to metal and that's why I disagree with metal elitists
M3TAL43V3R Annihilator! Hell yes, they are so often overlooked. Ryan and George should react to Alice in Hell or Never Neverland. And sorry for the late reply, I just get excited when I see someone mention Annihilator, they were a huge part of my teenage years and still love their music.
metal elitists are just the hipsters of metal heads.
Or, you know, maybe some people don't like Slipknot because they, I dunno, don't like their music. This may come as a shock to some of you, but not everyone has to like the same stuff.
It’s amazing that one of the biggest OG hip hop producers actually produced this whole album.
7:11 "beautiful." Lol. That's it man. You're one of us now. You'll never be the same again. Just go get some damn drums.
