+Afro Man He didn't actually say anything racist, all he said is that black people generally aren't into this type of music, which is true, lol. He didn't say anything bad about people of color, calm down
Hunter Well obviously he wasn't talking about the amazing bass player, so Shrey only mentioned the ones that, ya know, were audible. Get your panties out of a bunch.
This is how I rank my favorite song from each album. Slipknot - Eyeless Iowa - Gently (People = Shit close second) Vol. 3 Subliminal Verses - Three Nil All Hope is Gone - Gehenna .5 The Gray Chapter - I don't have a favorite
The Virus of Life is the best song on this album imo. It's so dark and haunting, plus it made Paul (the bass player at the time) stand out. Again, the instrumentation is badass on this record, everybody had a chance to shine, and The Virus of Life was Paul's time to shine.
It's so funny to watch your initial reaction to Slipknot on their first album where you looked absolutely terrified and said that people who listen to this kind of stuff have serious issues, to the band growing on you so much by their third album that you're almost in tears over how good it is, and actually said it will be a regular addition to your playlist. Kudos to you for truly giving them a fair chance. Now that you actually "get" their music now, you should go back and re-listen to their first album again. It might sound different to you now!
Called it! I knew you'd absolutely love this album man. Loved seeing your reaction. You've got me listening to this album as well now. I wish you'd give slower/gentler songs a chance and not see them as flaws. That being said, I respect that you're being real. Bring on All Hope Is Gone!
I agree with you because both the acoustic songs on this album are good but I also understand him as they are a very stark contrast to the hyper-aggressive nature of most of their songs.
Believe it or not..there are 9 members in Slipknot: Corey Taylor - Lead Vocals (also lead vocalist for Stone Sour) Shawn "Clown" Crahan - Percussion / vocals Joey Jordison - Drums Chris Fehn - Percussion / backing vocals Jim Root - Lead / Rhythm Guitars Mick Thomson - Lead / Rhythm Guitars Paul Grey - Bass/ backing vocals (R.I.P.) Craig Jones - samples, MIDI controller, keyboards, synthesizer Sid Wilson - turntables And they perform their entire concerts in MASKS......check them out!
I agree with the review. This is the best album by Slipknot, Iowa is a close second to me. The progression on this album is what stands out to me, and that includes the songs you didn't like, Circle and Vermilion Pt. 2. I think they're fantastic. And I have to disagree with you on the metal on headphones theory. I love listening to heavy music on a good pair of headphones. Get a pair of Bose or AKG cans, and you can hear so many little things that you wouldn't hear blaring out on speakers in a car, for example. I do love listening to my music loud too, but I study the instrumentation on headphones. The best mixes I've heard have been on my Bose headphones. The worst cans, in my opinion, for heavy music are Beats. They're too much about the bass, the mix isn't balanced at all. The small little nuances in one of best progressive metal mixes I've ever heard is an album called "Altered State" by Tesseract, are so insane....and you would mostly miss those little tidbits in the mix if you only heard it blaring on a speaker system. That album on a nice balanced pair of headphones/earphones is pure aural orgasm.
See I would much rather listen to Iowa and Slipknot I really did not like their newer albums. Don't get me wrong Vol. 3 and All hope is gone and The Grey Chapter have good songs but as a whole albums I don't like them. I LOVE Iowa and Slipknot because it's so heavy and dark and Corey actually screams in those albums
They've always had the same guitarists, but this album had a cleaner mix and better production values than either of their previous albums. The guitars were always there, but just drowned in the mix.
James Root came at the end of IOWA album and did just one song. Didn't shine. He was entirely in the 3rd album, VOL 3 so you can hear the guy. By the way, James Root was also in Stone Sour as well as Corey Taylor which is the lead singer of Slipknot AND also Stone Sour.
They are a creative band. The masks, use of beercans, their own style of soloing and drumming. I know double bass isnt new at all, but it has a little more technicality. Kind of sad that Joey(The drummer) isnt going to play for them anymore. The next album (All Hope is Gone) is the last to feature Paul (Bassist) and Joey(Drummer).
I gotta say, im a full blooded metal head, and man i appreciate your reactions cause there honest, and you def have a understanding of music. Earned my subscription.
Josh White- Puller Of Strings the guitars on the first two albums were subdued partly by their producer, Ross Robinson, who wanted to capture the "live feel" of the band. Obviously at the cost of instrumentation. On Vol. 3 Rick Rubin came in, who was more focused on refining the individual parts to form a more cohesive whole.
Your reactions on the albums First album: anyone who listens to this kind of music have issues. Second album: the lyrics are so deep Third album: woah the music is so fucking good
Since you asked, the guitars used on this album consisted of mainly Ibanez, BC Rich, Fender, and Charvel. But the most important fact for the tone is that they both recorded the album with the Rivera KR100 (with different power tubes for that Ying Yang effect) which is one of the juiciest tonal amp brands ever made.
They originally had solos in the original 2 albums, but the producer removed them (without permission)... and pissed off the guitarists (according to interviews I've read by Mick Thomson (no p in the last name).
i wonder what people think when they pass this guy and how many times hes been on snapchat.. 😂 love the videos, especially the slipknot ones, keep up the great work and awesome reactions.
the type of guitar brand Mick Thompson uses are Ibanez GB's and sometimes hell use Jackson's, Jim Root uses Fender Telecaster's, although most of them are custom made you can buy on the market for 8,000$ or more
Jim Root uses a Jim Root signature Fender Jazzmaster and Mick Thomson uses Ibanez MTM 20 Mick Thomson signature guitar. At least I think by the time this album rolled around these are the ones they used.
ive been listening to this album off an on for years. so much so i wish i could delete my memory of it just to experience this album for the first time again. i felt the same way with circle but that song grew on me over time. for me this was the top of the mountain for metal. slipknot and system of the down just had the right balance of different influences that kept every moment from being repetitive while giving you a reason to come back and listen. everything has a purpose, a meaning, a feeling.. from here scremo took over and dropped the torch
9:45 Oh my god THANK YOU DUDE. Every metalhead already argued at least once with somebody by saying "No metal isn't just noise", well of course people would think it is if they listen to music with fucking earbuds!! Then those people are the same ones telling you "earbuds/headphones whatever, quality wise it's the same thing!" **NO IT'S NOT** holy shit please stop using shitty earbuds and start listening to music with good quality headphones or speakers.
Now that I think about. Corey's vocals on this album seemed really good, but like mixing wise it was like they were turned down or something. Or not as upfront as on their debut and Iowa.
The vocalist, Corey Taylor, was goin through some hard times recording this album as well as he was struggling with sobriety. Which is why a lot of the hardcore fans where a little puzzled at how drastically different his voice was and even started a rumor that corey was replaced....He himself has stated that he wasn’t completely satisfied with the way his vocals were recorded. But regardless it’s a great album and was a nice deviation from their darker more chaotic first 2 albums. As you heard there was a more melodic tone and flow to these tracks, along with a much different cadence; and they even placed a couple of softer slow songs in there.....Iowa is still my favorite, but this is a really great album and my favorite mask set.
Mushroomhead has to be on your list of this style of metal next. There is a lot a rapping in many of there songs so I think you'll really enjoy the react. Mudvayne wil blow your damn shoes off so I'd give it a listen asap
May or may not get buried, and I know you're crazy busy with requests, but as a one of sort of deal, It'd be interesting to see what you think of The Keeper of the Seven Keys part 1 and 2. Basically the gold standard for power metal if you're interested. Though power metal is a bit more upbeat than the likes of Slipknot lol
Hahaha you mean they showed up. There are two guitarists. Both can take the lead. Mick Thompson and Jim Root. As you can hear in Opium of the people there are two guitars playing the solo.
Jim Root (Lead Guitarist) Plays A Fender Telecaster With EMG Pickups While Mick Thompson (Rhythm Guitar) Plays A Signature Ibanez With Seymour Duncan Blackout Pickups. Sorry About Being Specific Lmao

I can only imagine what anyone who wanders past your car must be thinking.
Nathaniel Williams especially when The Virus Of Life. Just thinking about someone walking by while that song plays cracks me up.
'What the fuck?Good Music in this mainstream time?'
Nevlois Fehn lmao for real
+Afro Man He didn't actually say anything racist, all he said is that black people generally aren't into this type of music, which is true, lol. He didn't say anything bad about people of color, calm down
Like: what kind of satanic music is he playing...im very happy looking him enjoy it so much 🤘
I just randomly came across this guys videos and I’ve been binging them for an hour. Dude is a trip!
Justin Rolling same when I found this channel. Lol
Hes awesome but a very all over the place guy hates great songs love great songs and then likes songs songs a lot of people would hate
Guitarists - Jim Root and Mick Thompson. Amazing players!
Hunter Did I break your heart?
Hunter Well obviously he wasn't talking about the amazing bass player, so Shrey only mentioned the ones that, ya know, were audible. Get your panties out of a bunch.
Thomson*
Hunter
He's the bassist, dum dum.
Mick is my all time favorite guitarist
Duality is my favorite song from them so far
I like how you enjoy different genres of music. CAN'T WAIT for all hope is gone album
MetalMan Reacts I can't wait for The devil and I
Please tell me youve watched the music video for Duality - the song is even more amazing with the scenes they made!
This is how I rank my favorite song from each album.
Slipknot - Eyeless
Iowa - Gently (People = Shit close second)
Vol. 3 Subliminal Verses - Three Nil
All Hope is Gone - Gehenna
.5 The Gray Chapter - I don't have a favorite
I Think I'm Starting To Like Them I Don't Know Yet But I Think I Like Duality
The Virus of Life is the best song on this album imo. It's so dark and haunting, plus it made Paul (the bass player at the time) stand out. Again, the instrumentation is badass on this record, everybody had a chance to shine, and The Virus of Life was Paul's time to shine.
david morgan Mate Feed Kill Repeat is the true legacy of Paul
THE NAMELESS is my favorite.

I hate Sciccors tho
Loving your reactions man. Especially to these Slipknot albums. Keep it going! 👍
Bryce Stluka his Best reactions in my opinion
I Love His Face Reactions
Its nice to see somebody who never listen slipknot and kind of like it
Called it! I knew you'd absolutely love this album man. Loved seeing your reaction. You've got me listening to this album as well now.
I wish you'd give slower/gentler songs a chance and not see them as flaws. That being said, I respect that you're being real.
Bring on All Hope Is Gone!
I agree with you because both the acoustic songs on this album are good but I also understand him as they are a very stark contrast to the hyper-aggressive nature of most of their songs.
Aamir Khan AHIG sucks
Germatria was a bad ass song. Mick did a good job writing the guitars.
I wish we were co workers. Everyone would love us or hate us. Metal 4 life!
Believe it or not..there are 9 members in Slipknot:
Corey Taylor - Lead Vocals (also lead vocalist for Stone Sour)
Shawn "Clown" Crahan - Percussion / vocals
Joey Jordison - Drums

See I would much rather listen to Iowa and Slipknot I really did not like their newer albums. Don't get me wrong Vol. 3 and All hope is gone and The Grey Chapter have good songs but as a whole albums I don't like them. I LOVE Iowa and Slipknot because it's so heavy and dark and Corey actually screams in those albums
Vermilion part 2 is one of my fav Slipknot songs. So melodic and disturbing.
i would agree with you, on circle and vermilion specifically. those are two of their best songs IMO
For me the darkness of iowa makes it my favourite tho vol 3 and debut are great too
They've always had the same guitarists, but this album had a cleaner mix and better production values than either of their previous albums. The guitars were always there, but just drowned in the mix.
Nope, Jim came at the end of self-titled and only did one song on it. :)
Yagami Raïto two songs actually :-) Me Inside and Purity (Purity got taken off the album and replaced with Me Inside)
Most of self titled was an ex guitarist Josh brenard
You can hear more guitar on Iowa but self titled its kind of quiet
James Root came at the end of IOWA album and did just one song. Didn't shine. He was entirely in the 3rd album, VOL 3 so you can hear the guy.
By the way, James Root was also in Stone Sour as well as Corey Taylor which is the lead singer of Slipknot AND also Stone Sour.
Jim Root steals the show on this album
they both do
Agree^^
They are a creative band. The masks, use of beercans, their own style of soloing and drumming. I know double bass isnt new at all, but it has a little more technicality. Kind of sad that Joey(The drummer) isnt going to play for them anymore. The next album (All Hope is Gone) is the last to feature Paul (Bassist) and Joey(Drummer).
I did not notice a lead singer or any lyrics on this one. The guitarist and drummer took this one over.
I gotta say, im a full blooded metal head, and man i appreciate your reactions cause there honest, and you def have a understanding of music. Earned my subscription.
1:38 is one of my favorite reactions to slipknot ever 😂
Listen to "All Hope Is Gone" and ".5: The Gray Chapter" - finish what you've started :D
They always had 2 guitarists lmao. It probably just sounded more electronic on the first 2
Josh White- Puller Of Strings the guitars on the first two albums were subdued partly by their producer, Ross Robinson, who wanted to capture the "live feel" of the band. Obviously at the cost of instrumentation. On Vol. 3 Rick Rubin came in, who was more focused on refining the individual parts to form a more cohesive whole.
omg grabbing your brush to sing along left me in stitches bro, your'e a blast dude.
Your reactions on the albums
First album: anyone who listens to this kind of music have issues.
Second album: the lyrics are so deep
Third album: woah the music is so fucking good
WHY...Vermillion pt.2 is beautiful
He doesn't like slow stuff
I love this shit! Not only are you opened minded towards music but you fucking feel it too! It pumps me up!
I love how openminded you are! I really enjoy watching your reactions!!
Since you asked, the guitars used on this album consisted of mainly Ibanez, BC Rich, Fender, and Charvel. But the most important fact for the tone is that they both recorded the album with the Rivera KR100 (with different power tubes for that Ying Yang effect) which is one of the juiciest tonal amp brands ever made.
I never thought i'd see someone cry during Pulse of the Maggots haha you're so much fun to watch NASTY
looking from the outside you wouldn't never expect him listening to metal... or slipknot
Daybreak84 white shirt wearing xD nonmetalhead I think we converted him
Pantera - Cowboys From Hell
Slipknot will have me watery eyed n goosebumps n shit sometimes I feel ya. Music is amazing. Good music is moving
LMAO 8:02 "mk, thats the second time you did it on this album, just... stop it man. Stop it with that. C'mon..."
1000% their best album. This was pretty much identical to my reaction upon first listen. Jim and Mick are phenomenal on Vol. 3
"I'm done... No I'm not"😂😂
Told you that you would like Slipknot 😋
lamb of god next
Byob Redemtion 3 months later and still waiting.
Been seeing a lot of slipknot react videos lately...... this is by far my favorite
Vermillion to me is a frikin' masterpiece! Always have chills when I hear that song
They originally had solos in the original 2 albums, but the producer removed them (without permission)... and pissed off the guitarists (according to interviews I've read by Mick Thomson (no p in the last name).
Corey definitely took a backseat on this one.
This is awesome. I almost appreciate the music more just from your reactions! Awesome stuff!
Glad you finally found this. And glad I found this video. Well done, sir! Fun.
Your reactions are officially my favorite on you tube!
Tool & Korn
i wonder what people think when they pass this guy and how many times hes been on snapchat.. 😂 love the videos, especially the slipknot ones, keep up the great work and awesome reactions.
Agreed, this is their best album. Tbh, I really like the 3 "softer" songs that you skipped over, but that's just me.
I knew you'd like this one lol. This is my favorite of theirs
the type of guitar brand Mick Thompson uses are Ibanez GB's and sometimes hell use Jackson's, Jim Root uses Fender Telecaster's, although most of them are custom made you can buy on the market for 8,000$ or more
Rick Rubin produced this and made Jim and Mick put out
3:50 "Slipknot... Stop it with that, c'mon...." 🤣🤣🤣
Duality is by far my favorite song of Slipknots
You should try fronting a band, it would be fucking sweet.😎 Your reactions are awesome, keep em coming.
I Just Love When He Pulls Out The Brush😁
Slipknot is good
I fucking love this guys reactions lol i want to get drunk with this guy
Jim Root uses a Jim Root signature Fender Jazzmaster and Mick Thomson uses Ibanez MTM 20 Mick Thomson signature guitar. At least I think by the time this album rolled around these are the ones they used.
Jake Hayes I think Mick uses his own signature Jackson model these days (not 100% sure tho)
I'm so happy you're a metal head now ♥ ROCK THE FUCK OUT MY DUDE!!!
THIS GUY IS FUCKING GREAT LMAO.. HIS REACTIONS ARE GREAT!
Where was the nameless?
2.32
Xplicit 1013 thats opium to the people
Omg it is too im such an ass
The title of the song is Opium of the people just had to correct u there billy bob
ive been listening to this album off an on for years. so much so i wish i could delete my memory of it just to experience this album for the first time again. i felt the same way with circle but that song grew on me over time. for me this was the top of the mountain for metal. slipknot and system of the down just had the right balance of different influences that kept every moment from being repetitive while giving you a reason to come back and listen. everything has a purpose, a meaning, a feeling.. from here scremo took over and dropped the torch
Slipknot is my favorite band if u couldn't tell by my account pic
DJANGO animation Clown!
Love your reactions man! Always entertaining!
and if you like the guitar solos, definitely go check out "Powerslave" album by Iron Maiden
This video gave me goosebumps. And I've heard this album so many times
9:45 Oh my god THANK YOU DUDE.
Every metalhead already argued at least once with somebody by saying "No metal isn't just noise", well of course people would think it is if they listen to music with fucking earbuds!!
Then those people are the same ones telling you "earbuds/headphones whatever, quality wise it's the same thing!" **NO IT'S NOT** holy shit please stop using shitty earbuds and start listening to music with good quality headphones or speakers.
Your video's always make my day better when i'm having a shit day
would like to see you do some machine head
If you love Slipknot, then you'll definitely love Mushroomhead. Static-X is also great too.
Oh yes. Static X would be amazing to see his reaction to
I got to meet Wayne Static before he passed away... cool guy
Evan Urena Mushroomturd
Evan Urena mushroom head sucks lol
Evan Urena
Mushroom head sucks lol x2
Just informing there's two guitars, Mick Thompson and James Root are both in there
"Uhhh... Slipknot? Com'on man. Stop it. Stop it with that. Stop it." Hahaha, my thoughts exactly when I heard Circle for the first time.
Great stuff man! You MUST do Metallica after Slipknot. I promise you will not regret it! 🤘
Your dance moves give me life bro
Like i mentioned previously, they have 3 drummers, and 2 guitarists. And a dj and keyboardist and bassist. 9 guys.
Now that I think about. Corey's vocals on this album seemed really good, but like mixing wise it was like they were turned down or something. Or not as upfront as on their debut and Iowa.
You missed the nameless, IMO the best song on this album.
the guitar solo in vermilion pt. 1 is hands down the greatest ever 🙌
Check out Demon Hunter or Soilwork or Twelve Foot Ninja
Andrew Yazzie I love demon hunter Fav song would be Not I or As We wept
Awesome buddy shoot I enjoy every single Demon Hunter song ha
How about Celtic Frost, they are pretty cool too.
Demon Hunter and Soilwork are awesome!
Every bit of guitar work you praised was specifically Mick Thompson. Watch more of his stuff.
3:35 Jim Root and Mick Thomson...yep...both are my heroes 2
Bro, you're just a metal head now
I love this reaction ahah keep it up man
The vocalist, Corey Taylor, was goin through some hard times recording this album as well as he was struggling with sobriety. Which is why a lot of the hardcore fans where a little puzzled at how drastically different his voice was and even started a rumor that corey was replaced....He himself has stated that he wasn’t completely satisfied with the way his vocals were recorded.

you need to try out wintersun . they only have 3 albums . 3 masterpieces
Mushroomhead has to be on your list of this style of metal next. There is a lot a rapping in many of there songs so I think you'll really enjoy the react. Mudvayne wil blow your damn shoes off so I'd give it a listen asap
Dude i have that same brush. WOrks badass for a beard.
Drumming is f’n epic!
May or may not get buried, and I know you're crazy busy with requests, but as a one of sort of deal, It'd be interesting to see what you think of The Keeper of the Seven Keys part 1 and 2. Basically the gold standard for power metal if you're interested. Though power metal is a bit more upbeat than the likes of Slipknot lol
Thought i was the only one dancing to this kinda stuff like it was hip hop😂😂😂
next do audioslave or lamb of god
Mick Thompson & Joey Jordison one of the best combos ever.
Right, i know what you mean but yes they definitely did have a guitarist on the first two albums, 2 actually same with every other album.
Man you should totally react to Parkway Drive! Their albums lyrics are poetry!
His reaction to pulse of the maggots I died
This is their best album
Slipknot is pure adrenaline
I’m a big slipknot fan and I can admit I love circle.. that’s song is so fucking good I’m sorry
Do megadeth
if you like incredible guitar work, try checking out Dimeback Darrell from Pantera. The guy is fing amazing. Great video!
The next album is gonna sound like a whole new band. Because the singer changed his vocal technique. You will notice them change instrumentally.
Hahaha you mean they showed up. There are two guitarists. Both can take the lead. Mick Thompson and Jim Root. As you can hear in Opium of the people there are two guitars playing the solo.
Jim Root (Lead Guitarist) Plays A Fender Telecaster With EMG Pickups While Mick Thompson (Rhythm Guitar) Plays A Signature Ibanez With Seymour Duncan Blackout Pickups. Sorry About Being Specific Lmao
