The high pitched squeal on the guitar is called a "pinch harmonic" its done by slightly touching the string with a finger, usually the side of your thumb, immediately after plucking it. It works best with a lot of gain, which is why you tend to only hear it in hard rock and metal.
idk, he reacts the same way to every song and I have never once seen him call a song trash. Maybe he's a lover of all music but I think he really just tries to keep watchers happy, which is a smart business decision, until ppl catch on and he looks ingenuine
@@JAKE8E8S Nahh he reacted to Avenged Seven Fold's 'A Little Piece Of Heaven' and he called it Trash. Which to be fair I'd call it trash too due to the video.

Seen them 3 times. First time was around 99/2000. Came to a smaller venue. Corey Taylor jumped off the stage, grabbed me, and told the crowd to get low. Then on 3 jump up n get nuts. Helluva show.
I'm 57 years old, I have seen Slipknot 17 times. Crowd surfed for the 1st time the last time I saw them at Louder Than Life in 2019. One of the best, if not the best live shows to see
I have to disagree here with you, maybe im a bit bias, because of my own depression , suicidal and so on ! It's from my point of view the other way around! What ever happen any pain any lost and what so ever created him! You can hide it on some occasions, you can learn how to handle it "I push my fingers into my eyes" or in other ways. BUT this will always stick with you! You can fight depression and so on (though thing) but these mental issue forms you even if you doesnt suffer from it anymore, it formes you! It will never leave you it will always be a part of you and your life! You cant kill your history, your story, because you didnt created it, you played the main role in it and in the life of others! And that is something you can't kill, you will always stick with it!
Yeah, I started listening to them at the age of 12 and at 12 we go through some phases but I still love SlipKnot. Some kids would joke that I was a satanist, I didn’t even listen to their harder songs at the time but then a few years later my ears got used to it
haha same I havent listened to this song for years and i loved this reaction and song. During this episode i only just noticed the lead guitar part at 3:53 to 4:00 also which was crazy.
Apparently the lead singer Corey Taylor would get headaches and by closing your eyes and pushing your thumbs into them it can relieve the pain. That’s where the line in the chorus comes from
As someone who’s spent most of my life suffering extreme migraines, yea. It’s simple deflection, the pain in your eyes distracts you from the pain in your brain (or streaking up the back of your neck to your temples, as is the case for me personally)
I hear it this way because I had three operations for migraines. The only thing that helped was pushing my fingers into my eyes. But, to me, it can also be a response to frustration headaches, caused by our shitty society.
He didn't really push it. Just merely put his hand on his face lol. If you actually saw how people push their fingers into eyes, you know they press it like hell, it feels like they're going to gouge them out, I've seen psychotic people turn their eyes red doing that.

The funny thing about Slipknot is that if you ever get a chance to meet them, they are so incredibly friendly and funny happy people. Really amazingly nice and humble. But they put on one of the best heavy metal horror shows you could imagine.
I’m sure every slipknot fan gets that feeling, those goose bumps of satisfaction. Even to this day, every time I hear this song. Same with Before I Forget.🤘😏
I still remember young me watching this video for the first time. It changed me and how I interpret music. Seeing someone else watch the video and really listen to this Life Experience known as Duality, it's truly heartwarming.
Oh man, this takes me back to my days on the Ozzfest forums. Slipknot is nu metal and it was a big argument whether it was real metal or not. The general consensus was (back then, at least) that nu metal was hard rock with metal influences. Don’t know how most feel today, but that was the popular opinion then.

@@mraruba yeah the country ive heard before was basically a 50-60 year old man apologizing to being able to beat his wife and kids and going like "and thank god they financially can't leave me" for 2 minutes
Have you ever been to a slipknot concert? There is a variety of people there not only white. Lets move away from that, search for "Nigerian rock wedding" on RUclips and you will see that music doesn't choose race, and same is vice versa.
Got told I had lung cancer wensday and Ive been in the hospital all week waiting for you to drop a rock react and I wasent disappointed thanks man for some good content
Fun Fact: the big “ping” sound you hear throughout, and see a few times. The sound comes from actually hitting a beer keg with a baseball bat. They did this in the studio.
I am a recent viewer of your reaction videos but I have to say I love how much you get into the music and the way you really consume the lyrics and discuss them. Brilliant, more effort than some reaction videos
Still watching this splendid reaction! My first concert was seeing this incredible band. I still cant believe it, the whole concert area was moving no cap! The energy this band pours out in concerts is undeniable. This song is poetic as f..., corey has incredible skills with both singing and droppin bars. I am a hardcore Slipknot fan and i will be one forever!
Even if you don't like their music, you have to respect the amount of (literal) blood, sweat, and tears these guys put into their music and their live shows. They have put themselves in harms way and got very seriously injured, and have almost died (clown almost drowned once) just to give fans the most over the top, batshit crazy live performances possible.
“I push my fingers into my eyes” is how folks with migraines describe the pain- Song is about being overwhelmed. Metal is emotions. Cheers and thx for being open!
Suffered from migraines for years and never been able to describe it other than it just physically emptying me of all energy. Thanks for the new phrase! It'll help people understand what I and others deal with.
can attest. usually when i get a migraine, i'll find myself pushing on the bridge of my nose and the inside corner of my eyes in order to get a temporary reprieve from the pain.
The chorus is referring to the bad migraines Corey used to have, if you press your fingers into the top of your eyes it actually relieves the pressure build up in your head. I use to do this all the time too, I guess it’s not a common as I thought though
I've suffered with migranes for years and its almost a natural reaction to pin pressure to the eyes.. the mind knows how to alleviate severe pain when needed.
i suffer from migraines and i constantly push the bridge of my nose and eyes to relieve the pain, even if it's just for a second. however, i never put what he is saying here together with that until today.
And this is how cultures come together, music, food, or just talking. We are all the same just with small little differences and that's what make it good.
I'm two years late to the party, but I absolutely loved your reaction to this. It's good to see that you were able to hear the music for what it is, and you were able to understand where it was taking you and what it was attempting to do musically while it was still not from your preferred genre. Listening in this way is something I feel can not be taught. You either get it, or you don't.
Fun Fact: They rented that house from a family in Des Moines, Iowa, brought 30 or so maggots (slipknot fans) from around the world and went nuts. Supposedly this video cost them anywhere from 300K to 500K.

Same here. Saw Mudvayne twice and Slipknot 3 or 4 times. I still remember when both came out. I got sent tot he office for writing the lyrics to “Surfacing” on my desk 😂
If you liked this then you'll like Before I forget by Slipknot too, its a banger and very similar to this. Psychosocial and Dead Memories are also incredible, definitely do some more slipknot
Your reaction when it goes from him singing the intro to that guitar riff is the exact reaction everyone has when they hear that first part. It’s amazing haha.
We’re turning him. Slowly. I get so happy every time I see bring me the horizon or slipknot in the title. Speaking of which, should react to Obey by Bring Me the Horizon ft. Yungblood.
Angelo M. Haha totally joking, I can’t see Layedback enjoying deathcore. I like to see when people got into BMTH. Because new fans of there new sound don’t even know how brutal these guys used to sound. Oli had some of the nastiest growls. My favorite album is Sempiternal. I like the deathcore era but I have to be in the mood for it. That’s the Spirit had some good ones too.
1:55 they are called pinch harmonics, they are made to sound like that by skimming the string with the tip of your thumb for a split second after hitting it with the pick
@@wolof97 practice ffs! get off youtube and practice! unless you're checking out pinch harmonic videos. It's all about just barely touching the string with your thumb after picking it with the edge of your pick, for me around the middle of the under side of my thumb does it.
KingwolfMC Dig in with your pick hand and skip the string off the inside of your thumb skin then bend. Some extra gain helps at first if your amp is decent. Practice transitions on that pulse of the maggots “say it again” riff. Good luck.
The most psycho part about that album was it was written and recorded in the "Houdini Mansion" an INCREDIBLY haunted place and it was right when Corey decided to start getting sober. He was waking up with a bottle of Jack Daniels in hand and more in the bed. In his second book he talks about being in the shower and seeing some old guy in a tux walk past the bathroom door. And also how Clown had an alarm clock that kept going off in the middle of the night, even when he unplugged it. Then he lost it and broke the thing, only for it to show back up in his room plugged in and set right completely intact and going off again. Among many other things.
I just noticed something really funny. When Layed says "I'd never push my fingers into my eyes" at 3:01 he does exactly that, and pushes his fingers into his eyes. Everyone assumes Corey means shoving his fingers into his eyes like The Three Stooges, but he's come out and said it was about constant stress migraines and overall headaches, which he could only gain a moment of relief from from rubbing his eyes/ squeezing the bridge of his nose, as we've all done before.
That guitar noise is called a “pinch harmonic”. When you pick the note, you lightly rub your thumb on the string to dampen the noise and it causes that noise.
@@stankcooter like everything else in guitar, it takes practice. Try adjusting to a different pick hold. I took me a little bit to figure it out and adjust my pick style.

I think they also do it in their live performances for duality too. So simple but it adds to much to the song
When he says you cannot kill what you did not create. Meaning the human soul.
I am a recent viewer of your reaction videos but I have to say I love how much you get into the music and the way you really consume the lyrics and discuss them. Brilliant, more effort than some reaction videos
4:46 - That moment when so many became a fan.
Maggot emerges from the larvae.
Hey same profile pic nice. Did a double take when I saw it
This brings me back to edgy emo kid days lmao, it still hits too. Love how LayedBak doesn't discriminate with genres and still gets hype 🔥
Couldn’t agree more
Ha ha you couldn't be more right
You should definitely go watch TooLitMafia if you like this lol
@@cobainemane1334 for sure, I'm a toolit fan too, but LayedBak's reactions are the best haha
@Jesse Pinkman yeah man, its like a time machine lmao
Seeing him thoroughly enjoy this song makes me smile
Still watching this splendid reaction! My first concert was seeing this incredible band. I still cant believe it, the whole concert area was moving no cap! The energy this band pours out in concerts is undeniable. This song is poetic as f..., corey has incredible skills with both singing and droppin bars. I am a hardcore Slipknot fan and i will be one forever!
My first concert is about to be them, I'm seeing them today. Opened by this is the moment, and wage war. My god I'm pumped.
If you want to do more Slipknot, I would personally suggest:
-- Psychosocial
-- Dead Memories
-- Snuff
-- Before I Forget
Love your reactions
30/30-150 by Stone Sour! I know it's not Slipknot, but equaly good!
Before I forget!
@@evanpugh7599 I forgot about that one! Added!
Heretic Anthem for sure
Up
"I'll never put my fingers near my eyes!" after he puts his fingers on his eyes
“I push my fingers into my eyes. It’s the only thing that Slowly Stops The Ache!” Hope this helps you out.
Even if you don't like their music, you have to respect the amount of (literal) blood, sweat, and tears these guys put into their music and their live shows. They have put themselves in harms way and got very seriously injured, and have almost died (clown almost drowned once) just to give fans the most over the top, batshit crazy live performances possible.
“I push my fingers into my eyes” is how folks with migraines describe the pain- Song is about being overwhelmed. Metal is emotions. Cheers and thx for being open!
Suffered from migraines for years and never been able to describe it other than it just physically emptying me of all energy. Thanks for the new phrase! It'll help people understand what I and others deal with.
Ben Harrison agree!
He literally presses his eyes with his fingers after saying he would never push his finger in his eyes
Robert took the words out my mouth....he literally did 💀
can attest. usually when i get a migraine, i'll find myself pushing on the bridge of my nose and the inside corner of my eyes in order to get a temporary reprieve from the pain.
"I will never push my fingers into my eyes" proceeds to push his fingers into his eyes. 😂
Lmao
Yes lol
Those were his eyebrows, not his eyes, but aight
@@LunaKai01 lmfaoooo look at the big fucking brain on you. 😂👌
@@Ginger-BradMan alright buddy, doesn't take a brain to see he did not push his fingers into his eyes 🤷♂️
>me in high school listening to slipknot’s first album for the first time
“Bro, what the fuuuuuuck....”
as soon as i read the notification and read "slipknot", i came straight away
Same
lay back and watch layedbak reactions. Can't stop myself from coming back to your reactions. keep it rolling.
The chorus is referring to the bad migraines Corey used to have, if you press your fingers into the top of your eyes it actually relieves the pressure build up in your head. I use to do this all the time too, I guess it’s not a common as I thought though
I've suffered with migranes for years and its almost a natural reaction to pin pressure to the eyes.. the mind knows how to alleviate severe pain when needed.
I got clusterheadaches and i push my fingers into my eyes during the nighttime for weeks at the time
I tie a cloth tightly on my forehead to get some relief while sleeping
i suffer from migraines and i constantly push the bridge of my nose and eyes to relieve the pain, even if it's just for a second. however, i never put what he is saying here together with that until today.
Whoa, that's what it means? Huh, thanks for info. I'm sorry you had to go through that.
And this is how cultures come together, music, food, or just talking. We are all the same just with small little differences and that's what make it good.
Love how this band uses a keg as an instrument. No one expects it the first time around
NOBODY EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISIT- oh
And you never miss it once you know it's there.
I'm two years late to the party, but I absolutely loved your reaction to this. It's good to see that you were able to hear the music for what it is, and you were able to understand where it was taking you and what it was attempting to do musically while it was still not from your preferred genre. Listening in this way is something I feel can not be taught. You either get it, or you don't.
This was honestly one of the best reactions I've ever seen.
You should check out his reaction to System of a Down’s B.Y.O.B lol
If he thinks this is good, we need to get him on Pulse of the Maggots
Say it again!
Hell yeah!
Danny Rossi YESSSS BRO
@@connermay8623 WE WON'T DIE!
Vermillion pt 1 & 2
Fun Fact: They rented that house from a family in Des Moines, Iowa, brought 30 or so maggots (slipknot fans) from around the world and went nuts. Supposedly this video cost them anywhere from 300K to 500K.
That's actually pretty cheap all things considered. Most videos back then for the big major label artists/bands cost around 1 million or so.
This song is one of those songs that just stays in your memory, forever.
"Jesus it never ends, it works it's waaaay insiiiide". The Knot has a way of working it's way inside your mind and makes your hair stand on end! Long Live the Nine!
I listened to this a lot in high school, along with Mudvayne 'Not Falling' and 'Happy?'.. gotta love the mid '00s
Damn miss Mudvayne so much...
Slipknot, Mudvayne, The Union Underground both "Mr. Deadman" and "South Texas Deathride... man you got my brain to remember 20+ years ago, bravo Mantis 👏
@@Davelon420 that's awesome dude!! Too much good stuff to ever remember it all.., it's nice to get a reminder of what we've forgotten sometimes.. and now, we get to share some of these gems with younger generations too.
Here's hoping his Patreon keeps him on this road for a bit 👍
@@Davelon420 Static X in there somewhere too? I'm over here reminiscing, so I had to toss them in too 🤟🤙
Same here. Saw Mudvayne twice and Slipknot 3 or 4 times. I still remember when both came out. I got sent tot he office for writing the lyrics to “Surfacing” on my desk 😂
"i would never push my fingers into my eyes"....*as he puts his fingers to his eyes* XD
Just noticed “be true, be you” fits 2022 so extremely well.
If you liked this then you'll like Before I forget by Slipknot too, its a banger and very similar to this. Psychosocial and Dead Memories are also incredible, definitely do some more slipknot
I think he'd like dead memories
He’d like only on and no life. To rap songs Corey experimented with on their first album
And Sulfur
I completely agree! 🔥🔥🔥
I do push my fingers into my eyes to stop the ache dawg.
RIP JOEY
Best part of the whole song is how integral the clown smashing a beer keg with a bat is 🤣
Dude yes
My favorite part of your videos is the genuine smile you have on your face. Can’t fake that shit, just a lover of all music
The guitar technique at 1:49 is called a “pinch harmonic” 👍 also, I would love a reaction to an Animals As Leaders song!
Aka a squeal 🤣😂
u right I just meant the technical term 😂
Guitarists love pinchies
2:55 "I've never pushed my fingers into my eyes."
Immediately puts fingers next to eyes xD
Duality is really the type of song to make you sweat from how hype it is
4:14 onwards is the birth of a metalhead lol
Your reaction when it goes from him singing the intro to that guitar riff is the exact reaction everyone has when they hear that first part. It’s amazing haha.
I am literally going to watch each and every single one of these videos, I LOVE peoples reaction to this kind of music or any music for that matter.
I remember my first time hearing this song. Talk about getting chills and sweating.
When he said "Slipknot, you up to bat..." Yeah CLOWN is here with a BAT
Fun fact. You just received a bunch of rockers subbed just for listening.
I'm guessing he's never heard Dig by Mudvayne. He's not ready for that 1 lol
Everyone needs some chad in their life
Brr brr ding
That is the song that got me hooked on Mudvayne! Still 1 of my fave songs ever!
We’re turning him. Slowly. I get so happy every time I see bring me the horizon or slipknot in the title. Speaking of which, should react to Obey by Bring Me the Horizon ft. Yungblood.
He really should react to that one. That song’s amazing
Yes, obey is amazing
I was hoping more Pray for plagues or Diamonds aren’t forever lol but it may be to heavy to soon.
Austin Sanders may be? That’s way too much way too soon
Angelo M. Haha totally joking, I can’t see Layedback enjoying deathcore. I like to see when people got into BMTH. Because new fans of there new sound don’t even know how brutal these guys used to sound. Oli had some of the nastiest growls. My favorite album is Sempiternal. I like the deathcore era but I have to be in the mood for it. That’s the Spirit had some good ones too.
1:55 they are called pinch harmonics, they are made to sound like that by skimming the string with the tip of your thumb for a split second after hitting it with the pick
Pinch harmonic or artificial harmonic. That's the "ehhhh" thing
He actually said "i left behind this little fact, you cannot kill what you did not create"
Now you need to listen to stone sour so you can hear the “softer” side of Corey
Nah he needs to delve deeper. Listen to some more slipknot or some Gojira
Disasterpiece followed by Vermillion Part II
Would really love to see his reaction on Bother
I absolutely LOVEEEE all the different faces you make throughout your videos lol
When guitars make that "reEeEuUU" noice thats a pinch hermonic😂
Pain in the ass can still never get it down properly
@@wolof97 practice ffs! get off youtube and practice! unless you're checking out pinch harmonic videos. It's all about just barely touching the string with your thumb after picking it with the edge of your pick, for me around the middle of the under side of my thumb does it.
KingwolfMC Dig in with your pick hand and skip the string off the inside of your thumb skin then bend. Some extra gain helps at first if your amp is decent. Practice transitions on that pulse of the maggots “say it again” riff. Good luck.
The most psycho part about that album was it was written and recorded in the "Houdini Mansion" an INCREDIBLY haunted place and it was right when Corey decided to start getting sober. He was waking up with a bottle of Jack Daniels in hand and more in the bed. In his second book he talks about being in the shower and seeing some old guy in a tux walk past the bathroom door. And also how Clown had an alarm clock that kept going off in the middle of the night, even when he unplugged it. Then he lost it and broke the thing, only for it to show back up in his room plugged in and set right completely intact and going off again. Among many other things.
😯😯👻
Can’t believe u people actually listen to this shit. Ur defo possessed
Umar Ash-Shafi bro this song goes hard wym
I just noticed something really funny. When Layed says "I'd never push my fingers into my eyes" at 3:01 he does exactly that, and pushes his fingers into his eyes. Everyone assumes Corey means shoving his fingers into his eyes like The Three Stooges, but he's come out and said it was about constant stress migraines and overall headaches, which he could only gain a moment of relief from from rubbing his eyes/ squeezing the bridge of his nose, as we've all done before.
I was playing the guitar along while you were reacting, glad you enjoyed such a sick song
One of the last songs of Joey as a drummer of Slipknot.
R.I.P. Joey Jordison
The guy shown at the very beginning is a fan of the band that traveled all the way from the UK just to be in this video
That guitar noise is called a “pinch harmonic”. When you pick the note, you lightly rub your thumb on the string to dampen the noise and it causes that noise.
i can only play pinched harmonics on accident ):
@@stankcooter like everything else in guitar, it takes practice. Try adjusting to a different pick hold. I took me a little bit to figure it out and adjust my pick style.
OvertTV appreciate the advice my friend
Yeah but it takes a while to get used to
@@stankcooter Also try adjusting the position of your hand on the string, and turning up the gain. Both help with making a clear tone.
