*Remember if you're struggling, reach out to someone. Don't suffer in silence and make sure you get the support you need* ❤
Right on man.
King
Nik, thank you so much for openly speaking about this. I recently pulled myself out of a very dark place. The dark has such long arms, but we don't have to go back to them. And even if we do, it's okay, we can come back from it. You can come back from it. Reach out to someone. Please don't suffer alone and in silence the way I did for so long. If you're reading this and you're struggling, it won't always be this way. Please reach out to someone, anyone. We don't want to see you suffer. We love you. 🫶🏻
support from who ? rich doctors ? fucked up doctors from thrd world country who just said "you just need to sleep well and take this medicine over a week" ? i came to a reason that is right what the extremist ppl say: "when theres need, there's money", and i'll choose to give mine to my parents than a fool who thinks it is easy job.
I was going through it last Wednesday. Had some dark thoughts too. I was able to reach out to one of my long time brothers and we spoke for 2 hours and I felt better.
Also to all who are complaining, would you rather miss one show because he’s taking a break, or miss all of them because he overdosed on a relapse or takes his own life because he’s so low rn
Mhm for real and they all go silent after that.
Big facts. Missed out of seeing Chris Cornell and Prodigy (Keith Flint) for those reasons and always regretted it.
100%, I’d rather see him admit his problems and take time off, than have my childhood crushed.
I literally just said this to myself, its so true.
@@rcflem i saw soundgarden at their last show at the fox theatre in detroit and i knew something was up with chris right when he got on stage he seemed tired and really down i was crying when i heard the news the next day i was crying so hard it was so hard because i saw him that day before and knew something was up with him
I met Corey at a sobriety tent at a festival, the fact that he casually stopped by and made us feel important and just reinforcing our recovery was awesome especially since I’m young in recovery (26 with 3 years sober now), he was so kind and bubbly
That's fucking great to hear. 3 years is HUGE. You've got this! My brother was using for a few years real heavily and he's been clean for about a decade now, and I live w/ him and his fiancee and their two kids. He's got his own business and rent is paid, kids are doing well, family is thriving all around. Keep it up and your future will just keep looking better, whatever your life goals are
38 going 39. Been doing hard drugs sinceci was 15. I stopped at 21 and had close to 10 years sober with the help of subutex. Then i relapsed hard as never before and now i am in methadone programe for close to 4 years. The first times i used and took methadone, it was the worst shit i could ever did. I do hope i can stay clean for today! Taking it day by day as i should never stopped doing it. Hope you can stay sober to bro! Its possible, just do it for your self!!
@@The_Portuguezyou got this man. I am 3,5 years sober. Drinking isnt the same as your stuff but you got this. You already made 10 years. Keep going.
Keep it up it's the best choice!
I wish I was sober at 26
I'm almost 29 and I wish I could retake those years I wasted on alcohol.
lmao "sober at 26" cmon man stop being an attention ho
I wish more people understood how difficult it is to even recognize a struggling situation let alone talk about. Especially a celebrity that has such a dedication to their fans. Best wishes to Corey getting through this.
I believe he probably has a skilled therapist who was able to guide him to this point and help him recognize the self-destructive patterns. Like you say, it's hard to see it when you're in it, and even harder for someone in his position who is probably going to be surrounded by a lot of moochers who don't want the party to end and aren't going to tell him there's a problem.
He doesn't give a shit about us. We're just maggots in his eyes. People=shit remember?
It's sad people are being entitled about this. He's giving refunds, other than that, he doesn't owe anyone shit. People always talk about mental health awareness, but people never actually accept it the second it slightly inconveniences them.
Hope the best for Corey. He seems like a cool guy. He looks like he's really been going through it.
I agree entirely with you but understand the other side too, since mental illness became a trendy thing you can't tell if it's just being used as an excuse or not and it's one of those things you for some reason aren't allowed to question at all.
@@GoddaryuTUBE I know you mostly speak for others here but still I wanted to leave a comment that Corey's mental health has been pretty fragile for the longest time. He doesn't speak of it often, but he has mentioned his suic*de attempts in the past. And if you look at Slipknot's early lyrics... The songs that Corey wrote are so full of hate towards himself and others. If anything, he's gotten much better over the years, so it's super worrying that his mental state has worsened so much
@@vhfgbnjnbmjnk and to piggyback, we aren't talking about a random person. If people don't know Corey does have a lifelong depression struggle, they have paid zero attention. You want to believe that Chrissy in accounting is faking it, whatever. If you think an artist wants to bail on a show, you don't know much.
@@GoddaryuTUBEThe percentage of people faking having mental illnesses is much lower than you think. I don't have any numbers to pull out right now and don't want to blindly estimate, but studies have been done on that. The idea that mental illnesses are a trend that everyone's faking is little more than a moral panic that only contributes to the stigma surrounding these conditions and makes no sense- despite what it may seem like online, mental illnesses are still heavily stigmatized and lead to discrimination in employment, healthcare, and general social image. It is simply not 'worth it' to falsely claim to have amental illness with the way the world is, so not many would do it; and if anyone is that desperate for attention that they fake it, it is usually a sign that there IS an underlying issue that needs addressing.
Also, there's a very good reason you shouldn't question people who say they're mentally ill- as frustrating as it may be to suspect someone's faking a mental illness to use it as an excuse, the damage you can do to an actually mentally ill person (and to the mental health awareness cause in general) by doubting them is far greater than what you'll gain from exposing an 'impostor'
That's like my parents, they say they support me but treat me as a nuisance because if the less palatable elements.
I remember being disappointed that I wouldn't get to meet him at comic con. But as soon as I heard why I totally got it. As someone who struggles with mental health issues I wouldn't want him to push himself too hard for the sake of me or any other fans. People need to stop being so selfish and have some compassion.
So sad to see any reaction other than "hoping for the best for Corey." I grew up w/ Slipknot all through middle and high school, and I bought tickets to Rockville to see them primarily (have never gotten to see them live), but if they don't end up playing because of Corey's current state, that's fine. I'll be there enjoying other artists if they have to cancel. It'll suck, but the well-being of the bands will always be priority
We don’t need another Chester moment … we need this man alive and happy 😭🙏
Exactly and I'm not even a fan. I'm just tired of losing talented people.
@@mztweety1374ikr
its safe to say that he will not hang him self cos have to seen the size of his neck 😳
@@StaceyMaybee i have a theory chester owed oj simpson some money before he got put in to prison for the second time and oj was set to be released on the same day chester done him self over cos he knew he could not pay him back 🧐🤔😳
"Chester moment" is one of the most vapid ways of framing suicide I've ever heard.
Man I'm so sad about this, I was introduced in metal by him and Slipknot. At first I didn't even recognize him. Hope he'll feel better. ❤
I met him a year ago and he was so awesome to everyone else who was there. It’s sucks to see him down like this. He even looks stressed physically. I really hope he gets himself back to his awesome self soon.
Seen them play live half a dozen times but never met the man, I have seen numerous comments from people who have met him and they all seem to agree that he's a sweetheart.
I mean, he's friends with Jensen Ackles and was a big Supernatural fan, he loves QI and appeared on the show, he's friends with Mike Patton and Dave Grohl. I definitely think you can judge someone's character by the company they keep.
The man has been doing this stuff since the 90s, I'm sure hes exhausted not only physically but mentally as well, let the man rest and have his peace. Doesn't everybody deserve a little break now and then?
I mean.. he added to the load by making 2 other bands that among other solo things. I get stone sour, but cmft just doesn't make sense to me. It was literally just him trying to stroke his ego.
big facts. i had a nervous breakdown back in 2001 and i am unfortunately in the middle stages of having a second one. i haven't told anyone IRL yet. once i start telling people (co-workers, etc.) about it like i did in 2021, it is because i am actually asking for help and am afraid of what i might do to myself otherwise. i'm 39 and mental health is a majorly important issue. i have been free from heroin for almost 11 years now but i have an alcohol problem that has been going for 20 years that i am STILL working on. i hate it. anyhoo, yall take care out there. just remember that you are not alone. ❤
I hope things work out for you, I really do. Well done for reaching out 🙏🏻
Hey man keep up the fight, if you need strangers online to vent to because irl is to intense for you just say the word man. I’m not trying to sound odd or weird just tryin to offer a lifeline to a fellow human…..take care of yourself
I'm 31 years old and it doesn't get easier as you age. You have to learn how to do with your mental health and I say try to tackle it earlier rather than later.
Last year I had my first anxiety/ panic attack filled with suicidal thoughts that I couldn't shake and luckily my friend was there to help me through it.
Take care of yourself. People mental health is something to take serious.
Much love to Corey Taylor, Hope he gets better.
Your still a youngster lol.
@mikepalmer2219 Doesn't matter how old you are. I'm 34 and have suffered from depression since I was 15. 19 years I've been dealing with this, and it's very recently been kicking me down..yet again. Being 31, or whatever, shouldn't even factor into it. If you're struggling, get help.
@@mikepalmer1971And to you lack of age somehow invalidates this person's experiences? This person thought about taking his own self out and here you are like a true speck of dust questioning another person's reality because you think their age disqualifies them from it. That's richer than infected p*ss. You're more lost than your parents when they made their feeble attempts to raise you.
@@mikepalmer1971that means nothing. I've had depression since I was like 8. Just because someone is "young" doesn't mean they can't have mental health issues.
you're still young af... wait util you get to 35-39... so awkward. I'm just glad i don't look 39. HA
Recently toured with Corey in Aus, and he was an absolute legend. Watched both our sets side of stage (no headliners ever do that let alone mfcoreytaylor) big upped us in interviews and on stage. So many people digging into him. No one knows what happens behind the scenes. Corey is a rad. Let the man rest and recoup.
Thank You Nic for touching on this subject. Not everyone can be happy all the time. To fake being happy isn't what Corey is about.
I know it's fucked up but as someone with mental health related issues and knowing the art he made when he had his demons in the past. I hope he finds levity in creativity and he tries to pen a few slipknot songs in this mindset.
But I can only imagine why he's struggling I mean jesus Christ the amount of drama that has happened this last year not just with himself but with slipknot is no doubt bound to take it's toll.
This is what happens when you sell your soul and choose money over everything else. You can try and run but eventually it will catch up with you.
@@The0nlyy wtf are you on about
@Rallison6996 he is probably talking about how slipknot has been screwing over band members and profiting off joey jordison's death
@@Rallison6996Shitknob the Corey and Clown show. Should have ended 16 years ago with All Hope is Gone.
seeing that video genuinely made me feel a certain type of upset that can only be categorized under fear. Corey is a legend and he deserves to take a break due to a dark time. When he said he was on the verge of relapse, it genuinely hurt.
Thanks for taking things like this seriously.
Makes me happy when people with a platform can take things like this seriously.
Depression is no joke. Just look at what happened with Chester. Mental health is really really important. A lot of people do not understand that standing on a stage, making music to bigger masses really takes its toll because once you are there, you will feel incredibly large pressure to withstand. You will constantly tick your brain " do they really like it? etc...". Musicians are humans too!
"Depression is no joke" I agree. talented rock stars are humans too. we should lookout each other and support them of how much we care about them.
Linkin Park makes a softer album - fans bitch and moan - chester found dead - same fans mourn his death and act like they cared
I love Corey Taylor. But after the jay firing situation, cancelling the North American tour, and serious mental health. I understand what’s going on with him because I’m “assuming” the jay situation really affected him a lot. He knew the fans were in a negative controversy about the decision. And importantly we don’t know what’s going on with him and Alicia right now. I Hope there relationship is still good but right now…… he’s relaxing, doing what he can to collect himself, and start rocking again. We love you Corey Taylor
I was wondering if he felt bad about the Joey situation even tho it was a while ago
Or maybe... maybe it doesn't have anything to do with Jay?
Corey has bipolar disorder. It is a chronic disorder that he had had for years now. He could be suffering regardless of his band firing their drummer.
Gotta respect him being so open about. Mental health is slowly becoming less taboo. Kudos to Corey for recognising he was heading to a dark place and telling that shit no. I hope he gets himself into a better place
I recently had to do something like this, obviously not to the scale like corey with cancelling shows and stuff, but to just seperate myself from people and focus on me, my mental health was absolute shit and it was affecting every physical aspect of my life. So i talked to friends less (but still kept in contact) and realized i dont have to always be always doing things for other people like i was raised to think. Once i took many months to focus on me and find a healthy balance between doing things for me and doing things for others, it has made my overall health the best its ever been! Ive never been so happy, its all about balance. Find what works for you and do it, no one can tell you what that balance is besides you. I got mad respect for Corey for this, i hope hes able to do much better in the future!
His voice has the tell tale signs of depression. When your nervous system becomes depressed, the vocal cords become depressed as well, like de-tuned guitar strings, and that’s what I’m hearing. I hope he gets the help and support he needs.
I hate when people get mad at someone who’s struggling
Tbh i feel rlly bad for him havent watched the video but the start od it js made me so sad for him💔
That’s really sad
It annoys me that people don’t care about the people in the band and get furious when something happens and they can’t show up
There people too
yeah fr these fans acting like a Manager or Boss
As someone who struggles with my mental health going on 15 years of it, I’ve been in a constant loop, I’ll be down for 11 months and feel good for 1 month, never shared it with anyone, I’m honestly coming to a breaking point, I don’t know what to do, I socially isolated myself haven’t had a friend in almost a decade, and no one to talk to, paired with the self destructive voices in my head only making things worse, if it wasn’t for your channel and music 100% wouldn’t have made it this far
Same thing for me bro, i work isolated with no One to talk to and i dont have a friend Hangout Im years. I find gym my way out of my Brain. try find something you like or something you wanted to do. Loneliness is a bitch
Go to subreddit CPTSD.
I've been in mental limbo trying to make music with my band for the past three years. Honestly a couple times I nearly gave up on life. But were closer now than we have ever been and it makes me actually look forward to the future. It's been a journey and we have worked so hard with nothing to show for it. Starting from nothing with no guidance is the most difficult thing. My goal for this year is just releasing a song. If any of you are struggling I hope it all works out for you. Don't give up no matter what.
Shit all I want to do is give him a solid hug. He really looks like he needs it. I hope he is able to take care of himself and is able to be happy again. For all the good times and memories he brought to the fans. He deserves the ability to take the time to be happy too!
I have borderline personality disorder, wich means that I have insane trouble to regulate my emotions. That being said, I go in and out depression and the anxiety is almost permanent, crazy mood swings, etc. I can relate with Corey needing to have a break from all the stuff he does (beautifully may I add). In all my years of therapy and medication I needed breaks from work, from bands, from relationships, family, friends. Just like he does, I think.
Corey is a reference for me about vocal performance, writing since I was 15. And I am both happy and concern with him getting the help he needs from family, friends. I think that this is not the first and it won't be the last time for him on this situation. But, Corey made much more than a statement about his mental heath, he shedded a light to an issue that the vast majority of us, specially men, tend to ignore.
Bottom line, I guess all of us will be suffering throughout our existence, but we don't have to go through it alone.
I have same illness as you, getting passed onto different doctors all the time, therapy is not working. Been through shit growing up, mum doesn't think I have BPD or anything wrong with me. I think this year is my last year.
this man being tour for several years man, him taking a break is not the end of the world
I love Slipknot and Corey Taylor and have since day 1. I wish him the best; am glad he's concentrating on himself and his family right now.
I hope he takes all the time he wants and needs for his mental health. Thank you for not being one of the hater channels who do nothing but complain about someone when they are vulnerable and down as Corey is right now. Gods be with that man.
All these haters, and complainers should know this, everything Corey and Slipknot has done, they've done for their fans they LOVE. All the pain Corey feels in his broken body, and brain is because of the love he has for his fans. Give this man love and compassion, understanding, and like he said "PATIENCE." Much love to this man, his family and his band. Thanks for your channel and to talk about mental health and these important things without judging. ❤❤❤❤
Hope CT finds the peace he needs. We can't lose anymore legends!
If he has been going through shit for over a year now it would explain alot of what was going on with Slipknot in recent times
I appreciate your outlook and perspective on mental health. Thanks for being vulnerable and sending out a strong message to seek help.
I really hope he gives himself some time to heal.I don't want him to end like Chester
It sucks what's happening to Corey, especially with all he's been through. ❤
REAL post Nik. VERY REAL. Mental health ain't nothin to fuck with. Shit is REAL. I, myself like to burn a pipe, have a couple drinks, and either listen to music or pick up the guitar and write some of my best shit and let it all out. Music saved my life once before, and I swear by it. Just listen or play, guys.... "be still and know" "this too shall pass" "the sun will rise".. there's always light at the end of the tunnel even if it feels like "just a freight train comin your way".... Be strong, put your armor on, listen, play, talk, chill, pull through. There's more to life than this short period of bullshit. It'll be OK, you'll come out the other side - I promise. Just keep on keeping on and find your smile again. It'll be OK, I promise you. If you need a sounding board, if you just wanna bitch about life, if you feel like you have no where to go- I'm here. Hit me up. Listen to your favorite shit. Pick up that instrument if you play one. You're gonna be fucking fine, I promise.
I remember him making a video about how hard it was to tour as he got older. How much work it takes and energy it drains. I knew as soon as I saw that video, that we wouldn't be seeing him as much anymore. I love him and Slipknot/Stone Sour and THANK YOU FOR SO MANY AMAZING SONGS THAT IVE HAD AND WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PLEASURE OF PLAYING IN MY SPEAKERS/HEADPHONES. 💖
I really hope the best for you and him! I've been going to therapy and taking ssri's for 2 years, and I had a bad breakdown in the beginning where my therapist wanted me to check into a facility. I've been on zoloft most of the time, but I made the decision to add wellbutrin to the mix at the suggestion of a psychiatrist, so fingers crossed that helps. I've never understood why it's so taboo to talk about mental health. Everyone needs help sometimes, and I can't imagine how difficult it is to add celebrity notoriety on top of everything. I really wish there was a way fans could let celebrities know how much we love and support them, other than the obvious, buy their shit and go to their shows.
His video/story with the you rock foundation helped me a bit in my lows. Its rough seeing him in that state. Sincerely hope he can feel better soon. Mental health is very real and just as important as your physical health. Please. Please find the help you need when you need it.
Not in the metal sphere, but another artist that is very transparent and adamant about this is Elohim... Much respect to Corey and Elohim. I deal with a lot of shit myself, and they have both been beacons bringing the truth about this shit to the forefront. I respect the shit out of both of them and they're still people that need to take care of themselves before. Also mad respect to you Nik for acknowledging and understanding and addressing it.
Been there myself. That mental break is not a happy or remotely good place to be. It's very dark, you detach from the world. Nothing matters. I just wanted to die and for everything to just go away. I wanted to just be gone as in cease to exist. I felt that this world was not meant for me. All the pain I had endured, the stress, the heartbreak, the mental anguish and torture . . . I feel all of it coming from Corey. I just wish I could give him a big hug and hold him, even though I've never met him, because I know, when I was there that was what I needed. I needed that connection and positive feeling of love from someone, anyone. I needed that to find the strength in myself to keep fighting. Shit like this can stick with you man. I feel terrible for Corey and his family. Everyone that has been riding him needs to back off, shut up and let the guy breathe or he may not be here tomorrow, and nobody wants that.
Corey take care of yourself. We will miss you and will see you soon
Take care of yourselves and everyone around you guys 🙏
I am on disability for Manic Depression it is very real and causes you break down at worst times. I've been there done that. I hope he gets the helps he needs. Anyone with Depression should seek help of there peers and family and professionals. Don't let it control you.
Man. I thought I had it bad. I don't think he needs to apologize for anything. Chill and recoop Corey. 👍
Except exploiting his decreased bandmate's identity in a museum for a paycheck without permission, he specifically said was given.
@@craigsovilla6578Joey was a main part of Knot what were they gonna do, exclude him entirely? Don't be daft.
@joshbrienen5133 They can't legally do it without the family's permission. Which they didn't ask for. You're the one who's being daft. Joey was worth more than his time in the Knot and dehumanizing him as a museum exhibit is just out of touch as fuck. They're a fucking band for crying out loud, what the fuck do they need a museum for anyway? But sure, buy into this latest gimmick just like every other they've sold out to.

@@craigsovilla6578 feel like it would be more "out of touch" to disrespect him by not acknowledging him in it at all. The museum itself is kind of a dumb thing but to NOT have him in it? There would be the same people complaining that are now that he IS in it. He was slipknot, period.
What you said about being honest with oneself is so important!!
In my opinion, there's nothing more dangerous than someone who suffers from depression and/or an addiction, they get help, go to therapy, work on themselves, keep going to therapy and at some point, they feel better. Everything is fine for years but then, the depression (or whatever it is that caused the initial problem) shows its face again and after doing therapy for so long, a lot of people think that they can deal with it by themselves. They think that they know enough about themselves, that now, they have the tools to fight it but unfortunately, that's when some real shit can happen!
Good on him for recognising that there's a problem and for being brave enough to admit that he needs help to care of it!
Larry David = producer of Seinfeld
Larry King = man interviewing Corey in that clip
In all seriousness, stay safe and don’t be afraid to reach out and talk to a friend or a family member if you are in crisis mode.
What makes that funnier is Larry King got bit by Jerry Seinfeld for not knowing a thing about his show when he was interviewing with him!
@@Rand0m_H3r0Larry knew exactly what was going on with Seinfeld 😂😂 I was surprised jerry took the bait lol. It made for great tv tho 😂😂
The older I get, the happier I am I was never an uber-famous person like this. When you're young, you think you want it sooooo bad. But I think it takes a big toll on you. Especially as a touring metal musician.
When was the last time Corey actually took a break?
What a rough time hes having and its clear but I wish him well and I hope him having some time helps him through everything, hes been been working nonstop and he deserves happiness.. Much love to him and his family and this community!
"there are cracks in the road we lay"
His vid oozes maturity. Good on that man. Weird that his depression surprised you.
I think most people forget that celebrities, Rockstar, people of status are humans just like the rest of us and their mental health maybe stronger or weaker than others but it doesn't deviate from the fact that they are suffering just like the common man and that they deserve anything less. Reach out to your friends and loved ones daily they might be fighting a battle you know nothing about and you could be that defining moment that seperate them from life or death. Nik you're a real one for touching on this, people will always advocate for better mental health but never talk about it or dive into it because it's a sensitive subject, so hats off to you my man.
Thanks for this bud.. I hope Corey Gets better and gets some help.. I think everyone is losing their Minds these days.. Mad props and self awareness to admit it..
This is so hard to watch for me. He looks so sick and sad. I truly hope he takes as much time as he needs so that he can feel better. Mental health is so important!
Corey Taylor, much love, hugs positive thoughts sent your way. You take care of you and don't even worry about anything or anybody else. Do whatever you need to do to feel better. It takes courage to face those mental demons. And personally the older I get the more I realize just how important it is to take care of yourself.. You give so much of yourself..... Take time for you. Best wishes to you. Much love and respect.
Took a few months off work last year to do an intensive therapy program. Shit's serious.
You're not alone. Reaching out is the hardest step, but it's also the first one to take.
been there... can't recognize myself leaning over the edge with entitlement, ego or anger, suffering with depression i couldn't imagine doing a show... i needed time with family. I need time man.
Give the man as much time as he needs, resolving mental health issues and self care does not operate on a schedule or impulse of others expectations. Corey needs to mend and I wish him nothing but the time it takes to find the peace of mind he is seeking.
It brings me tremendous comfort seeing the way people are reacting to this, it might be safe to have a little faith in humanity after all.
This man actually understands addiction well enough to know that it's a way of being and thinking. The using is just the response and you have to be willing to know yourself and see the signs in advance before you get to that point. Mad respect. This is an example to everyone wondering how to deal with communicating this situation to your people.
"Larry David"? lol
Good message man. Life is tough sometimes.
Support this dude. He'll come back to form and the process will inspire the artist within.
Not a slipknot fan. All I see online is drama around this singer and band. He seems to be reaching out and needs to get himself together. Good luck to him.
for any person to admit and have that self awareness is just amazing and seems like on the right track but the fact that its some one so prolific as Corey being able to do that is even more amazing
I'm 36, been a slipnot fan since I was about 12. Haven't kept up with anything after Iowa, or much Stone Sour stuff, but man I've always admired Corey Taylor he is incredibly talented and always seemed like a cool guy. Hopefully he's alright.
I'm an army ranger vet, these guys slipknot are 💯 like us. Our brothers, if my brother needs time it's warrant. These guys, the 9 got me through alot.
3:39 it's really nice to hear him come out and talk about his issues in his problems. But when people come to him and try to talk to him just as a human being he's just shuns them. I don't care if anyone believes me or not butt some famous people they seem amazing. But I feel like we also put them up on a pedestal. For all I know he could have been having a bad month but also being someone that has had problems with mental issues no lie I mean the first time I try to take myself out was elementary school. So people that have this issue hopefully this helps. So since I can remember I always had this inner voice kind of just tell me I'm worthless I'm a loser nobody likes me I don't belong here why haven't I left. I'm trying a word this in a way that is RUclips friendly. Trust me it was extremely worse than the way I worded it. So I live like that from elementary school until my late twenties there was a few times where I tried So eventually I don't know where it came from but I was like I'm sick of this I can't take it. And I said stop so anytime I had a negative thought I would think of something positive that I might have helped someone or something positive about myself if I couldn't think of it I would just think of something positive in general. It took me 5 years to retrain my brain. And it worked I feel like a thousand pounds have been lifted off me and I don't hate myself it is so amazing. I'm hoping that this helps somebody. If I can do it I think anyone else can as well and if you do need someone to talk to and you don't have anyone to talk to I'm here to talk to
What I love about metal is it helps with those darker emotions. Seeing more metal heads talking about mental health in a totally real and direct way, yet leaning toward a positive light is great to see. It's healthy, and health is an important component to our greater survival as individuals as well as the tribe. 🤘
Corey carried my later teen years and i still religiously listen to Slipknot and Stone Sour. Positive vibes to him and hope he gets through this.🙏🏻
Every one in this comment section is gunna hate me but I am a big heavy metal fan and I think one of the things he needs to do is find Christ and salvation.
More people feel the same as you on this than you may think
I think a lot of times we forget that the people we look up to and admire are human also. Good for Corey for speaking out and knowing that he needed the help.
He’s walking the walk, not just talking the talk. Good for him, and I hope people see this good example of how to act. Everyone gets knocked down, don’t act like it didn’t happen, face it, deal with it and move forward.
I’m not even a Slipnot fan, but I just gained massive respect for that man.
Great video mate!! Subscribed.
I’m glad he’s doing what’s best for his health and I wish him all the best. Let him rest and take care of himself.
It’s particularly sad to see him looking so defeated because he’s usually pretty extroverted and confident.
I’m not the biggest Slipknot fan - I don’t question their talent, I just don’t enjoy their sound aside from a couple of songs - but I respect Corey Taylor, and I respect him even more for being so real with his fans.
hope corey is doing alright. he’s from my hometown and always want the best for those who make it out.
Considering the amount of music artists we’ve lost because of mental health, I’d rather have them just cancel everything and focus on making sure they get bounce back to a better state then staying at rock bottom to the point they do something they shouldn’t. Like take Chester Bennington for example, I would not be mad if he just said I’m dropping everything and focusing on me and my well being and getting help to fight my demons. I honestly wish he did, because who knows we probably would still have him today.
Same shit at work right now. The people upon high pushed the ones lower down (my team) way too far, now we have to hit up HR, and now it's a real fuckin thing. Mental health is a big thing where earlier generations just shoved it way way down, and then broke. Not about that these days. Another human being does not get to talk me down, because their job puts them a tier above.
Im glad he is taking a break
Thank You Brother, I’ve always loved how honest Corey is with us, also love the respect you show the legend.
I love Corey Taylor. I hope he Recovers well. His Lyrics have taught me more about myself Than just about any other Musician. I know it be weird, but I just want to give the guy a hug. I know There is Much potential in Man who can look in the Mirror on himself like That. Corey, take a break. Dude you have earned it. Please continue to write. What you are going through, Your Take on it, It could help Lots of People. Thanks Nik!
I, for one, am glad that we are coming into a day and age where famous people are allowed to take mental/emotional holidays. There are so many musicians that have unsubscribed from life because of mental health issues. If they had been allowed to get the help that they had needed, they may still be with us today ❤
Missing Chester Bennington every day!
You're a good dude, Nick. Beautiful take ❤
thanks for keeping us old, analogue folks in the loop. I didn't even now that there was a Corey Taylor situation. ;)
I love Corey. I have read his books and his personal stories are fucking deep. I hope he finds peace
the fact he even chose to address the situation shows that he does love his fans and does consider them as fam. he didn't have to say anything. he's being respectful af during a really rough patch to those ppl who are genuinely concerned for him.
this dude has been a machine for almost 30 years and could cancel due to swamp balls and he'd still be golden in my eyes. get better and thank you 🫡 🤘😐
Yeah, we can't lose another one, man. I'm not even a Slipknot fan but I sincerely hope he gets better, mental health is no joke. His low energy is palpable in that video
I don't really want to share what I witnessed once, when it was after a show with a crowd others--it was when I think Stone Stour was doing their first tour and signings in my city. Because it was also a couple of decades ago now. But it seems the dude has just battled with some demons for a long time--I'm just hoping and wishing the best for him, and his road to finding some kind of balance as well as peace.
I'm proud of Corey for getting the help he needs and expressing himself! That old saying rings true that money cannot buy happiness! And then add layers of entitlement and ego, there's gonna be a crisis if the mind if you have sympathy, empathy,and forsight! If you don't have empathy, sympathy, and forsight you are a narcissist, sociopath, or down right psychopath! So this says allot about cory's personality and no matter how rough his moment is, he's gonna get through it a more humble and enlightened man! You have allot of people and fans wishing you the best Corey!
This whole thing probably ended up being related to Jay's firing, especially how he mentions his ego.
Much love Corey. You come first before you can help anyone else. Build those new lyrics and blow our minds again.
I can't imagine how he feels missing shows. He knows how much people love him, I imagine he hates feeling like he's letting people down.
"he's gonna fire himself?"
-some guy in the chat
I'm really glad he's taking care of himself! I know it's nothing he mentioned, but I just hope Slipknot's music and general attitude/vibe doesn't contribute to the worsening mental health. And if it is, I think real fans (and people with a heart) would understand if he stepped down or the band took a break/split
Corey Taylor putting his mental health first is probably the BEST thing to happen for those with mental health struggles in YEARS. Big props to this dude.
I too would be upset to not be able to go to the show, but Corey is a real person with real emotions, not just some animatronic. I hope more will be empathetic to artists who express these kinds of things
yeah he totally isn't the person who loves drama with a lifestyle you can't possibly relate to
As a guy in my early 40s slipknot is a huge band for me. Those first two albums in particular helped me through some tough times. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing slipknot live and they were amazing. That said. If what Corey needs is to take a break or even retire. I’d rather see that happen than him not get the help he needs.
Corey, if you ever happen to read this, take ALL the time you need. I've been a fan since I was 8 (yes, 8). Ever since I first heard Before I Forget on Guitar Hero 3. You deserve some time off my man. Trust me, we'll all be here when you get back man.
