ROADIE REACTIONS | Slipknot - "The Dying Song (Time To Sing)"

[@dang9668]

Slipknot is better than 60oz of coffee in the morning

[@anthonyperkins9338]

Slipknot is life!

[@RIPJimmyA7X]

All of Slipknots members are musically brilliant, how they consistently come out with songs so intricate and tight with 9 members is so beyond me lol

[@Alphablight]

Editing

[@Beaniue]

Tbh some of them really don’t do much

[@colinhawley8050]

Heard this track for the first time yesterday. It’s a romp Joey and Paul would be proud of

[@PNW5ohTREE]

Most definitely. They would be proud of this one🤘🤘

[@TshjDid]

I listened to mate feed kill repeat I don't agree

[@PNW5ohTREE]

@@TshjDid I listened to MFKR also. That was a different style though with Brandon at helm before Corey. Even when Corey took over, they didn't turn into what they are now till later.

[@AwesomeECKS2461]

@@TshjDid it’s called evolution. paul and joey were big fans of the concept :)

[@mlaird1986]

I'm just impressed with Jay. I mean damn, could you imagine trying to replace Joey. Such huge shoes to fill. Jay is no Joey but he does an amazing job.

[@happee8342]

Slipknot isnt just a band, they are a whole experience!! They are legens 🤘🏼 They just keep evolving their music 💯 And Jay on the Drums, Corey's voice, the setup , the new masks, the whole band and crew..... Everything about this is amazing!! We totally appreciate everything they have given us !! Love , Diamond💎+ Adam #MaggotFamily #TankTheMan

[@Alphablight]

They are stagnant. Nothing evolving about them just the same

[@Upper_Decky]

@@Alphablight bonehead comment

[@camillaGorilla]

Agreed. They are phenomenal

[@Zerethon]

At the high risk of getting shanked over it, I'm just going to say that this song feels like a modern "Duality" and i f***ing love it.
It's just, backwards. The chorus is that clean faded-out singing, and then the in-between parts are just heavy as all hell. If the rest of the album hits just as hard, it's going on my main playlist.

[@TheMCmace]

i can see definitly your point

[@aleksandarradovanovic8496]

I must disagree, because I find Duality to be catching at 1st hearing... while this song is all-in technical wise and it takes some time to catch all of that. This is not a radio song, sounding wise, like Duality is.

[@TheInfiniteNine]

Interesting take. I do not see it though. However I really would be stoked to see if they could pull off another chart topping hard-rockish catchy single like duality.

[@thomashoffman8916]

Thank you for saying it Tank, been a fan of the band since I first heard them back in 1999 and I hate hearing people just hanging onto Iowa and self titled. They are amazing albums but Corey has evolved his soul d along with two surgeries that affected his vocals. Appreciate the classics but also listen to the new stuff for what it is and that's an evolution of the sound of Slipknot.

[@maurofarletti1248]

I totally agree, I too first heard them in 99, and yes to me their first album is still the best, but I love seeing the bands evolution over the years. Really exited for this new album

[@OlfimusPrime]

Agreed. Started with Vol. 3 at 10 yo and listened to self-titled the most til this day. But every album got me something. Hearing how they evolved is an absolute journey I love to take once in a while.

[@mastodon98]

AGREED

[@Erichwanh]

Man, I remember seeing Slipknot at Ozzfest in '99, and they were just so different and so fresh. Sid hugged me after the show and drooled on my shoulder with his gas mask on, heh. That was such a good time to be into new music, right when Slipknot, Disturbed, and System of a Down were changing the landscape for heavy music that also had mainstream appeal.
I'm like a hair's distance away from buying a ticket to see Electric Callboy in Brooklyn just to experience that once in a lifetime show, especially because you're scheduled to be there, right Tank? I just hope it's not sold out. That would be really frustrating. Anyway, all the best dude :)

[@TankTheTech]

It's sold out on paper, but I'm sure there are ways to find tickets. And I agree, man, discovering Slipknot in the late 90's was so awesome, along with a lot of other band at the time, too.

[@NevronixS]

Ozzfest 99 was my intro to Slipknot as well. Stage 2 at Deer Creek in Indiana.

[@SocialDefect]

Tattoo the Earth in 2000 was my indocttine. Mudvayne, Coal Chamber Slipknot, Hatebreed, seven dust, slayer, sepultura.. such a great show

[@trivianene]

you’re so lucky

[@OhAnthony]

I love how they brought back a little "The Blister Exists" on this track

[@TankTheTech]

Totally could hear that as well!

[@xvor_tex8577]

I never noticed how much this song would fit in Vol.3 until you said it, now thinking about Corey mentioned that it's like Vol.3 but heavier

[@Chopperducky]

Modern Slipknot songs need more than 1 listen. I'm a huge fan, but i find i need to hear songs at least 5 times, just to be able to pick up on all the individual sounds and things that are going on, and then appreciate how they manage to combine all that noise into 1 coherent song. First thing that jumped out to me on this one was the drumming. Jay just going to another level.

[@zatransis]

I'm happy to hear you liked WANYK. It's one of my favorite records from them. I'm also happy to hear you mention the people who constantly compare to ST and Iowa. I don't actually want another Iowa. We've got that. I want to see this band continually evolve. If they released an acoustic album I'd be down if it's what they're inspired to do and it's good. I hope this record brings the heavy, of course, but I hope it's diverse like the last record. Great video as always, sir!

[@broncosstampede494]

9:07 You Know Once Tank Takes His Hat Off And Gives Us The Unholy Headbang Its A Certified Classic!!
Thanks Slipknot This Gives Me Iwoa Vibes Plus Sid Getting Busy On The Scratches 8:52 Is When Slip Is At Their Best

[@Comingsafra]

agree!

[@garrettconwell2364]

I loved this song the first listen. But everytime I hear I re listen to it it gets better and better and is already one of my favorite songs

[@andybarber8898]

Everytime I hear this song it slaps harder and harder and I cannot wait until September 30th. Awesome reaction Tank.

[@BloodandSoilNS]

It blows my mind that they signed a 7 album deal with RR for $500,000; 7 ALBUMS! They're a band with 9 members! I'm curious too see what is next for the KNOT?

[@TankTheTech]

I wouldn't be surprised if they just started self releasing, or started their own label and just signed a distribution deal with someone.

[@NotSamSage]

I remember my friend introducing me to "wait and bleed" while in high school in 99/20, and it changed my life musicly.
I immediately became obsessed with Slipknot, and became a huge fan of just metal in general.
I knew I found the right person to marry when I caught her listening to "The Devil in I" haha.
Through college I worked a lot of concert security, and I got to work several Slipknot shows. Just absolute insanity.
Other fun little fact. My buddy that introduced me to Slipknot, we share the same birthday.... September 30th

[@localdryersheet139]

dude thats awesome!

[@scabcrawler632]

I caught Slipknot in a small Iowa City bar before they got huge. The Step Kings Biohazard and Mudvayne opened the show. Mudvayne was handing out cassette tape demos with Death Blooms on it. Still got it laying around. Good times

[@PradaLlama]

Absolutely superb video man. Love SlipKnot and this was a great informative and enjoyable reaction. Thanks man. Subscribed

[@jmetalskinz]

So glad I came across your channel dude! Love your content and analysis. 🤘

[@matt5842]

Tonight, July 28th, they played it as a complete live premiere in Prague. Pretty happy I was there, because it felt pretty damn special. My homie who wasnt impressed with the song initially actually loved it live because of that catchy chorus.

[@TheDjentleman77]

I was already pretty excited when I heard The Chapeltown Rag but now I’m beyond excited. Everything is just 🔥 Corey’s cleans (melody) was really interesting and his screams sounds filthy (in a good way of course). The video is amazingly shot as well. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@PechoHD]

New masks are insane :D can't wait to se them live again :D

[@TankTheTech]

Sid's mask is bonkers. I love it.

[@eldyllo]

I love this band so much. One of my favorite things about them is they aren’t afraid to experiment with their sound. Recycling the same sound would get old, so I enjoy the range they show, especially with their last couple releases.

[@jozefstreicher]

August, 3rd. Slipknot plays a show in Bratislava, Slovakia. The opener is Jinjer. I'm counting the days left, will be my first show after 2.5 years.

[@MrDeath2033]

Slipknot is my hardcore favorite band and they nailed it on this video let's gooooooooo

[@rofyle]

They've been keen on having Jinjer join them in Europe and the US. That seemingly chaotic part that somrhow holds together explain why. Jinjer eats those sections for breakfast

[@lorenzomonsif]

absolutely obsessed with the song, so many little gems of technicality and WE CAN HEAR CRAIG AGAIN! I haven't really heard Craig so clearly since the earlier albums
Some tid bits from the vid: Sid is holding his old mask and it's animated, the jaw moves while he holds it.
Jay also drops his left drum stick during v-man's solo (~8:35 in Tank's vid)

[@TankTheTech]

Hahahaha. I noticed Sid's mask, but didn't notice Jay dropping the stick. 😂

[@RPGManoWar]

The fact that his "old mask" is just a mold of his own face; so he's gripping his *own head*. It's so much fun and creepy

[@Weshighlights24]

Love this song. Love your reviews and reactions. You’ve introduced to a lot of good music.

[@AronLeonard]

I love this song, also I'm like you with self titled and Iowa as they was the albums of my early teens and made me who I am today. (slipknot was my first ever concert back in 2002) really excited for this new album to come out!

[@psstimbatman6646]

Their new songs fucking slaps and i'm so stoked for their new release!🔥

[@joeg1709]

I like that you mentioned it being radio friendly. To me this is a safe arrangement and the tones sound...off somehow. But everybody's ears are different.
This one doesn't do it for me, but I'm sure there are others on the album that make me thrown my hat.

[@MaraxisArcanist]

I've listened to this song half a dozen times now, and I'm just not feeling it. The chorus really isn't very good and the rest is just basic Slipknot faire.

[@reasonableperson4429]

Was on the fence when I first heard this song, but this is about the 4th or 5th time hearing it and it gets better each time I hear it. Looking forward to hearing the whole album!

[@SJRenkola]

Slipknot is such an important part of my life. I won't get deep into, but they mean so much to me.

[@kellenmims2400]

Awesome to see you do a slipknot video. My favorite band of all time. I miss the self titled and Iowa days too, but I also appreciate these days and progressions. They are such a multi talented bad, why hold them back to one sound when they sound good doing so much more… and you already know you will get some heavy AF bangers in there. Sept 30th. Can’t wait.

[@EJPalmerRPH]

I have listened to this song at least 25 to 30 times now. It has totally grown on me. It is absolutely brilliant! I love it!

[@DuragJones]

*slipknot has already stated that the album is a heavier version of vol 3*

[@VeroSD]

I started listening to them in 2002 and it wasn't until this year that I lived somewhere I could go see them in concert... it was THE best live performance I've ever seen in my life. I can't wait to see them again. I agree with you this song also gives me Vol 3 vibes and it makes me so f*cking excited for the album.

[@camillaGorilla]

Another great song from my favorite band. Been into Slipknot from the beginning. Great reaction aswell 😊

[@patrik5123]

I like that it's _classic_ Slipknot in the same way that State Of Slow Decay is classic In Flames, yet somehow feels new.

[@DeadWirePromotions]

The drum patterns at the beginning of the song reminds me of the self-titled album.

[@jagdkotze]

Mick recorded the whole selftitled album on a Jackson V model but explained in an recent interview that it was too expensive for him to take it on the road, get stolen and what not. So he endorsed for many years with Ibanez which is a cheaper, good sounding guitar. And he was used to Seymour Duncan pickups.

[@dylanvasicadrums]

Corey said this album will be like a heavier version of Vol.3

[@TheSlysterII]

I am so stoked for this new album, and I also love your Tank facts!

[@leandrolima9998]

Slipknot for life 🤘🏻🇧🇷🇧🇷

[@Amthermit]

Really diggin these two releases from this new album. I LOVED We Are Not Your Kind and if Corey says The End, So Far is better I'm Stoked. Orphan is my favorite song off WANYK I'm looking forward to another brutal track like that

[@JoshuaScott806]

my cousin introduced me to metal by showing me surfacing, and its been a long, fun, and fucking amazing ride since then.

[@seanofarrell8896]

I think slipknot will go independence after there deal ends

[@TankTheTech]

They could easily do it at this point. I could also see them not signing full on with a label but doing distribution with someone like Nuclear Blast.

[@TheCloneLord]

Yeeeees dude 🤘 knew you'd be all over this LETS GOOO! and I get what you mean by there album presence to there radio ...killpop radio Vs Custer raaaaawr album 🤘

[@lain766]

Absolutely agree with you. This made me so happy because it sounded like original slipknot imo.

[@JAIJ47]

100% Got Duality vibes listening to this when it came out. Exactly as you said with Vol 3 vibes at 5:23

[@Vitoker]

Slipknot will Always be Slipknot , Chaotic & Beautiful !

[@evanhuggins450]

I'm so excited for the new stuff I've loved the stuff they've done and I'm hoping this next album is a banger

[@reevansingh21]

Epic song badass nine for sure hail the rock gods

[@SWE87HS]

Iowa is my favorite Slipknot album. This sounds very promising. 👍

[@craigus1991]

Been listening to this on repeat since it dropped and I can’t get enough of it. Vol.3 was my jumping on point in about 2004 when I was 12/13 and I heard Before I Forget for the first time. This song harkens back to those glory days for me. I’ve enjoyed every album this band has dropped for numerous reasons and I can’t wait for this album!
You got a new subscriber by the way, great reaction! 🤘🏻🔥

[@gregsgrazina2286]

You got on me a new subscriber dude, although I like a lot of other channels, you got me you breakdown every little aspect, of the music, band as unite and individually and of course you know what you're saying, I really appreciate it most channels are way superficial and you got a lot of depth in your analysis and breakdowns.. Keep up the good work and hope you gather more followers 🙌All love from Portugal

[@TankTheTech]

Thanks a ton, man!

[@calicocidd]

As soon as I saw you had a reaction to this, I knew the hat was coming off... That chorus is sickeningly catchy.

[@geekyraven2911]

This song just reminds me how much Slipknot helped me through my tough shit. From Iowa until now they just keep on producing excellent music.

[@198clm]

They never disappoint do they?!

[@Botc_8686]

Let’s gooooooooo !!!!!!!!!

[@jeremywatanabe3994]

I like this song!!!!!🔥not as radio friendly as expected! Very heavy but also melodic as well!!!

[@xXxSpeCtrouMxXx]

Tank you are one of my favorite reaction channels and Slipknot are my absolute number one favorite band so it's very fullfilling to see you react to their new stuff. Tonight they play here in Greece so I'm fuc...in over the moon that I'm going to see them for the very first time!
Can't wait to see you react to their album man. Cheers!

[@Rudy_86]

Right there with you man. Slipknot was one of the first CDs I ever bought when I was in like 7th grade. It was one of the buy 12 for $1 from like Columbia House.

[@bjhellstream]

Also saw Jay Weinberg at Stockholm Stadium with Bruce Springsteen at that tour. He crushed it. The punky drive and doublekicks in Radio Nowhere was awesome. This song is all that some tracks on the last album really didn't achieve fully. This is perfect.

[@jeretthopfinger5781]

I thought you were taking a break but glad you're back have a great day.

[@OFather_of_Giants]

I like seeing the random Destiny content appear on your recommended videos also with the one destiny poster that you had on the wall

[@glen3133]

song is awesome. got me back into slipknot after letting them rest for a time bc lorna shore is just blasting

[@CathyRose14]

That Tank BPM was a great touch 😂 Currently on a Tank binge! Slipknot is one of my all time favs… awesome vid!

[@_Zer0Gr4vity_]

My introduction to Slipknot was with Vol.3 so this song is especially sounds amaizing to me. Don't get me wrong I loved every single album before or after that, but that Vol.3 sound is special to me.
Also, a nice little Jim Root story (not mine, but it kinda made me happy). So Sean Long from While She Sleeps got a signature Charvel this year and then Jim has been seen during live shows using the Sean signature (you could tell because it had neon yellow pickups and logo). Sean of course was over the moon because of this. And I know that probably this was strictly based on sound, but how cool it must be that someone like Jim plays your signature.

[@metaldaddaughters]

They did say the album will be alot like vol 3, and less like Iowa! Im still looking forward to the new album!Great reaction man🤘

[@hi_imfitzek4434]

Song is so awsome i already heard them twice now two times main headlining and man they are so fcking nice and brutal at the same time.

[@NicholasCorvin]

*It's almost the same with every band. Reminds me of the lament after MetallicA released "LOAD"........"This don't sound like the "Black Album"...", "...it sounds like Lars Ulrich hitting trash cans instead of drums....". After certain albums lots of fans don't want anything to change, while another large number of fans want or, at least, are open to changes....* 🎵🎸🥁🔥🔥🔥🎹😈🎹🔥🔥🔥🥁🎸🎵

[@kathleenandbruce]

1st time hearing this and it's a great song and a great reaction as usual. I always learn something new watching your reactions. Have some other new music for you. Disturbed dropped Hey You a song for the times and Alter Bridge dropped Pawns And Kings. Both out less than a week and both are great songs.

[@vitalsteve1]

i like your ending comments.
i very much am intrigued. i want to hear one of my fave bands reinvent themselves. i especially loved the grey chapter and one of the few early adopters of vol 3.
this song isnt close to my favorite but cant wait to hear morr

[@philliesr2c22011]

In an interview Corey did say the new album was gonna be like vol 3 but heavier

[@sandraweilbrenner67]

Two days ago 'yen ' came out . The newest song. A half ballad , I call it slipsour , another person called it vermillion part three lol. Jay slays on the dying song. You were headbanging and missed Corey's retro barcode jacket. You notice clown has a gold disco ball clown mask now. I just subbed.

[@CylonModel2]

Really good and interesting review Tank. I think this song asbolutely slaps and is up there with Soloway Firth which is the best song off WANYK imo and I'd rank as their third best album after the self-titled and Iowa. Really looking forward to the album. Hope they are back over here in the UK next year, they were right back on form in 2019 at Download and the 2020 EU tour! Let's Go!

[@melanielawrence4422]

Great reaction! I appreciate what you said about the comparison to their older music. ST and Iowa were game changers, but musical evolution is a good thing. And these guys have been going hard for over two decades. I don’t think they have a “bad” album. Some are different, but if all someone wants is ST and Iowa then they should listen to those. If the stories of where these guys were at mentally and how they recorded those albums are even partially true, then expecting 9 men to put themselves through that for 20+ years is insane. Let them do their thing. It’s as simple as not listening if it’s not what you like. As for you Tank, stay awesome!! 🖤🤘

[@Abremoch]

This song might have been a bit too much all over the place for me, but the heavier part was fantastic though. The new masks are really next level! I love the evolution of the look for the band.

[@sammitchell3657]

"The chapeltown rag" had the same stuff. Very over the place. But. Between this and that. I gotta go with the rag.

[@Kotsoros37]

Now that you mentioned it I do agree that it has a volume 3 like tone, sort of that old school aggressive first 2 album vibes mixed with volume 3 and later melodies!

[@brenanwilley1988]

I love the new songs feels old school
