That flaming star has nothing to do with the devil. The devil star is a 5-pointed pentagram, this one is a 9-pointed nonagram... a point representing each member of the band. Yes there's nine members in Slipknot.
I was thinking the other day that when our generation moves into the old folks homes, the way old folks today have Sinatra etc playing in their rooms, we'll have Maiden, Slipknot, Ghost, etc lol
This is what they’ve said about the masks: “The masks let each individual represent his true self, free of constraints like social politeness, shared mannerisms, or conventional morality. They're a way to liberate the self, and push the energy and aggression of their performances to the forefront, without holding back. As Taylor says, "The mask for me has always been that physical representation of the person inside me who just never had a voice. It allows me to be me... I'm showing you more than I've ever revealed." Crahan goes on to say that people are always "looking for a better face" and presenting themselves in manicured, vain ways rather than solidifying their senses of self.”
early on it had the added benefit of giving them anonymity, they could move around most cities and in the crowds of fans without being recognized, I think Craig/Pinhead is the only one who still maintains that though, all the rest have their photos out there I believe
The singer Corey Taylor actually has a beautiful singing voice when he isn’t going hardcore. Check out their song “Snuff”, very slow song and he sings great on it
Spit it Out live from download 2009. That one video gives you a very, very clear idea of what kind of energy they bring and what seeing them is all about.
"Spit it Out" Live at Download 2009. The PERFECT example of the love/loyalty/talent/bars/and crowd control that this band has. 1000% you will not be disappointed!!!
They are a monster of a band. They consist of a vocalist, 2 guitarists, 2 custom percussionists, a main drummer bassist, a dj and a sample/effects guy. I understood the 9 point star represents each of the 9 band members.
Hello guys it's Alberto González of Puerto Rico and Slipknot doesn't worship satan they just sing about everything bad that happens in the world. Thank you for showing these vídeos blessings and good evening.
Spit it Out Live from Download 2009 you NEED to do that video next. You will get the feel of how they are in concert. I saw them in concert and they are BY FAR the best act I have seen in concert in my lifetime, and I have been to A LOT!! They are non-stop, all over the stage through the WHOLE thing
I'm 46.. missed this the first time around.. well.. I didn't miss it I just didn't get it. Now I'm super stoked to see ya'll reacting to this. The thing about moshes is your in it with everybody, friends, strangers, every mosh I have been in I was bleeding and happy afterwards. One of my favorites. Thanks for the post.
They did one video without their masks on. It’s called Before I Forget. You never get a full look at their faces, but you do see them in part. It’s good stuff, and very energetic.
Fun fact, slipknot singer Corey Taylor is also the singer of stone sour back in the day, which is almost a night and day difference in what he does now in slipknot so he can hit low guttural growls to high melodic singing or anything between, they also have or had the most drums or percussion in a band for a while and yeah masks are their thing
You should definitely watch some of their drum cam videos. Joey Jordison R.I.P. was one of the greatest drummers ever. On one of their tours they had his kit on a pedestal and would lift him up in the air, tilt him sideways, and spin it around while he is strapped in his chair. I saw that at my first ever concert and it was mind-blowing!
The look on her face at times is priceless. lol I remember seeing one of Slipknot's CD covers in a store years ago and thought the same thing... Now, fifteen years later, still one of my favorite bands.
Slipknot makes me feel the same way, thats why I listen to them when im mowing the grass or doing physical task outside, makes me wanna just break stuff. Yall should really do a reaction to the leads singer Corey Taylors acoustic version of SNUFF. No mask and the song is super deep.
I really appreciate ur guys reaction to some heavy metal, that’s technically the genre lol. This is my world of music haha. I never expected u guys to react to this stuff and u didn’t throw any hatred at it at all and it’s not an easy genre to enjoy in all honesty. I grew up on heavy metal lol. U really gained alot of respect from me for this, so seriously thank you ❤️
Corey Tailor, their lead singer is one of the best song writers out there. Check out his other band Stone Sour. They are more hard rock rather than slipknot metal, but both are great. And if you want a totally polar taste of Slipknot listen to Vermillion Part 2.
fuck corey tailor dude is a Piece of shit that destroyed slipknot. This band use to be the absolute gods of metal now they are fucking trash and that dumb fuck got rid of one of the best drummist ever to live
You gonna learn today 😂🖤🤘🏻 You guys should check out Snuff by them. And then the acoustic version 🖤🖤🖤 (You remember that’s the same guy from the Falling In Reverse Drugs video, right?)
Loved this, this was a bold choice for your first slipknot song lol they have some like Killpop that would ease you into it a little better. Keep up the great reactions!!!
The star you were seing is actually The Nonagram (9 Point Star). It's a symbol that Slipknot drew by themself and its a symbol of unity with each other, it's the symbol of 9 people. Each point represents each band member.
Saw them live in Feb 2020 (just before lockdown). Wasn't in the moshpit (too old for that noise) but was easily one of the greatest musical experiences of my life - no one in that huge crowd was still or quiet for the whole set, every song was played haaard!
When it comes to rock/metal reactions, feel free to grab the lyrics. Sometimes, certain lyrics have double meaning when you hear it but have a more specific meaning when you read them. I can't think of a great example off-hand but trust me, pulling up lyrics on your phone or something would be super helpful for those types of videos. Especially if you can't understand what they're saying when they scream it.
People who really like music are listening to a lot of different genre ! The energy Slipknot get out is incredibly insane and the community is really nice
Slipknot live show will have all your senses on fire. So much going on between visuals and music. Cory Taylor there singer write songs for many bands. Even if you don’t mosh it still energizing.
I seem them live at Sonisphere a festival here in the UK and they played psychosocial and just the chorus hit "and the rain will kill us all" it was unreal as it began to pour down
A buddy of mine was a roadie and he told me a story about him and the guys talking with bigger bands at the time and these little kids came in nerdy as can be, very polite saying they were one of the bands, my boy told me later them nerds came out in full masks and rocked the place better than anyone, them kids were slipknot
There are a lot of "Reaction to Psychosocial" videos out there. Yours is by far the best. You both are extremely charming, insightful and funny as hell. Your comments and reactions are clearly genuine and heartfelt. Really well done.
with Asias comment about thier mosh pits I would recommend watching the Live at Download version of Spit It Out that will give you a great depiction of what the pits are like
I read the comments (the first half dozen or so) and see most of your questions have been answered with great knowledge and detail. Metal is (most of the time) expressing rage about the wrongs of this world. It is aggression,. anger,. energy,. release,.. and that's why us metal heads love it so. The band Slipknot are all very cool and actually very mild manner dudes in person. They are performance artists. Just like Stephen Kings lays his art on 'paper',. they do it through music. Except 75% of the time,.. if not more,. the songs are about real world issues. RIP Joey Jordison (the drummer) who just died last month. A real loss to our community.
The masks mean different things to everyone. For me, it was putting the focus on the music, instead of the person performing it. And of course, they are not devil worshippers, they actually have an uplifting message, and a belonging to a community that some people could not find in their personal lives.
Info time: slipknot has been around since the late 90's. They started out 1 thru 8, wearing jumpsuits with barcodes and of course the only way to I'd them was by their number 1 thru 8. Their first album with Paul Gray was Iowa, which is where they originated I do believe. They had a tragic event happen: the sudden passing of Paul Gray which Slipknot:the Gray chapter comes in. The video Goodbye sums it up. Very emotional video. It also shows you what being true brothers is all about. Check it out.
Rock, but metal in particular, has helped me through my angsty teenage years like you have no idea. I always had difficulty expressing my inner thoughts and feelings outward, and the intricate or just F you kinda lyrics in metal, combined with pure primal raging sounds was SUCH an outlet. I always turned that shit way up and just go bonkers in my bedroom. I always exited that room like a new person :) Slipknot has been there for me since 99, and will be with me till I die.
You guys crack me up. I am 54 years old and I watch these reaction videos a lot just when I'm bored and whatever, but you guys made me laugh so thank you!
The lead singer is Corey Taylor. He can sing very well. You have to check out his other band Stone Sour. They had a popular song in '06 called Through the Glass. It's not as Metal as Slipknot.
I lost a shoe, a pair of glasses, got my shirt ripped down the collar and a huge scratch down my face in a Slipknot moshpit (all at the same show), its as real as it gets at their shows I'm 5'6" and have no place in a moshpit but moshers are very helpful and pick you up when you get knocked down make sure you're okay etc, very nice people! Hope you guys check out more of them! Love your diversity in the videos you react to and the open mind you guys have to music keep it up!
I've seen them 8 times and they keep getting better every time I see them. Go to one of there show's. They put on such an insane concert. And Cory sings like that thee entire time. I have no idea how he does it
The music is pure chaos, the images and mask reflects that in art and the masks are who they are at their darkest moments. In the beginning you got a mask and a number to identify. RIP Joey, the drummer.
Ive always seen it as my release of dark energy. It builds in us all... Hurt anger disrepect rejection... This style has always been above all. Brutally real in your face pure emotion.
Welcome to the world of slipknot they have a very deep catalogue to work through...not too mention corey taylor has another band and some solo stuff he is a cultural icon in the rock/metal community
I got to see them in concert when they came to NC and they lifted up the drummer and drumset up like 30 feet in the air and turned him upside down still sitting in the drumset and he just keep playing upside down..it was pretty epic..and the mosh pit when wild...hahaha..oh and they are know to always be in mask
If you watch any interviews with the band they are pretty low key guys, you know people i would have went to school with back in the day .. Great reaction and break down thanks...
The star thing is called the nonogram...each of the star points are meant to represent all 9 members of the band, and the circles are strength, loyalty, Unity and friendship.
So, I feel like I need to give you guys some insight about the masks. Corey Taylor, the lead singer, said in an interview, that everyone wears a mask that covers up the real version of themselves and hides their secrets from the world. These masks are an outward representation of the the inner person that they are. If you look back over the years, the bands masks have evolved over time. As each of the members of the band evolved as a person, so did their masks, representing their inner evolution as individuals. On a side note, if you take the time of evaluate the lyrics on each of their songs, they have a very deep meaning at the personal level to the person who wrote the song. There is a song, that I do not think that you guys should listen to yet, called "The Devil In I" that Corey wrote as a part of The Gray Chapter album. Corey wrote the song representing the pain that he felt when Paul Gray, a member of the band and one of his best friends, passed away. The band has gone through so much together and love each other deeply. They all believe that "The Nine" are the closest people that they will ever have in their lives. We should all be so lucky to have that type of friendship with one person, let alone eight others. I love this band, and have immense respect for their history.
I love metal concerts was in a moshpit once where I got knocked over lost my shoe and an ear plug a group of people helped me back up and gave me back my stuff and then pushed me back in. what a great time
I listen to ALL types of music genres ...... RnB, Rock, Hip Hop, Slow Jams, Reggae, Metal, Rap, Funk, Soul. What I want to hear depends on the mood or situation I'm in at the time. I usually listen to FERAL music like Slipknot when I want the blood pumped up, to "unleash the beast", etc. (eg. morning wake up, hard core exercising, etc). Some people I know would call this "angry music" ..... I don't see a problem with that. Everyone needs to release some aggression every so often ..... cut loose. Can't hurt to do it in a positive fashion by listening to some decent Thrash Metal music like SLIPKNOT.
Check out something from Slipknot's first album! Their song Eyeless is so damn good! Nothing beats their first 3 albums for me! But Joey, the drummer, is imo one of the best drummers to ever do it! Great reaction guys! 💯🔥❤
Another track of Slipknot to check out seeing as you like the live performance is Spit it Out Live at Download 2009. Truly epic!!!!!! Also like one of the previous comments said Corey Taylor singing Snuff (which is a Slipknot song) live in 2016 in London. Will certainly change the way you look at him as a vocalist
That flaming star has nothing to do with the devil. The devil star is a 5-pointed pentagram, this one is a 9-pointed nonagram... a point representing each member of the band. Yes there's nine members in Slipknot.
100% true
And even then, the 5 pointed star is only "Devil worshiping" when it's inverted. Otherwise it's just a pentagram often used in wicca :D
Sorry bro I already sent the comment and I realised you explained it the same way I did
@@peculiarcrab5388 No worries. I'm not someone who's bothered about similar comments. It's all education.
@@JamesM99 What's this about Sid?
I’m a 60 year old lady & still one of my all time favorite bands & they put on an awesome show to boot! Hope this is the first of many for you.

Members of Slipknot aren't much younger than you, Michelle
I was thinking the other day that when our generation moves into the old folks homes, the way old folks today have Sinatra etc playing in their rooms, we'll have Maiden, Slipknot, Ghost, etc lol

maggot for life 🤘🏿
And the third reason is because they wanted people to buy the music because of the music not because of their faces or persona
The singer Corey Taylor actually has a beautiful singing voice when he isn’t going hardcore. Check out their song “Snuff”, very slow song and he sings great on it
The acoustic version though. The video while great is very distracting
And Vermillion part 2.
Omg, you guys need to listen/see his live concert in London! It's the most beautiful thing ever!!!! 🥰😍🤩
Snuff is their heaviest song
Absolutely agree!!
RIP joey jordison a legend on the drums one of the best and most technical ever
Yeah, I was shocked when I found out about that.
He was my favorite of the band.
Rip Joey and Paul

Hello guys it's Alberto González of Puerto Rico and Slipknot doesn't worship satan they just sing about everything bad that happens in the world. Thank you for showing these vídeos blessings and good evening.
Yes you must react to Slipknot Spit It Out Live at Download Festival 2009. This was a great reaction!
and then disasterpiece official live✌️
they should react to the studio versions first then live performances
Slipknot- the devil in I.
One of the greatest bands of the last 20 yrs. Try "Before I forget," "Duality" or "Wait and bleed."
Slipknot spit it out live at download 2009. Enjoyed this reaction 👍
Came to say this!!!!
100%!
There is lots going on. They have 9 members. And they are all amazing. I recently saw them in concert. Still crushing it. I'll go back for sure.

Not the one where he cries though we’ll have to explain one of the safest moments in the bands history that day broke my heart
Such a dark lovely black lagoon of music from start to finish ! Enjoy the ride down and hold on to anything you can ! LMAO 🤣
Not only are they amazing musicians but they are also great human beings too.
Loved this, this was a bold choice for your first slipknot song lol they have some like Killpop that would ease you into it a little better. Keep up the great reactions!!!

Absolutely one of the greatest Metal Bands of the 21st Century. These guys pretty much a non-stop adrenaline rush. ✊🤘
I really appreciate your guys openness to new music and most metal/hard rock fans are some of the nicest most kind people you will ever meet
The star you were seing is actually The Nonagram (9 Point Star). It's a symbol that Slipknot drew by themself and its a symbol of unity with each other, it's the symbol of 9 people.

That was a great analogy and you are so right Rock and metal moves you it moves me you definitely feel it once you give it a chance not so bad huh 🤘🤘🤘
Never been a fan of Slipknot. But, this song is so incredibly visceral and touches on our primal emotions. Gets you really pumped.
Most honest reactions I've watched and found in awhile. Y'all are great. Keep on!
I've seen these guys twice and they Rock live it is so awesome and there's a lot of audience participation
That drop D,drop C and drop B tunings always react to adrenalin system 😄

You all are good.....i can tell you that the band is 100% legit. Not satanic, just good entertainment. Their concert should be on your bucket list.
Slipknot live show will have all your senses on fire. So much going on between visuals and music. Cory Taylor there singer write songs for many bands. Even if you don’t mosh it still energizing.
Seen them live man it was amazing energy!
I could not listen to this song for years and come back to it and sing along to every lyric off heart aha, crazy the effect they had on my youth 😂😂

Nothing better than listening to new listeners wax philosophical about the effect of music on the soul. Awesome. Good shit.
There are a lot of "Reaction to Psychosocial" videos out there. Yours is by far the best. You both are extremely charming, insightful and funny as hell. Your comments and reactions are clearly genuine and heartfelt. Really well done.

with Asias comment about thier mosh pits I would recommend watching the Live at Download version of Spit It Out that will give you a great depiction of what the pits are like
Listen to their songs ‘wait and bleed’ or ‘duality’ both are very good.
I read the comments (the first half dozen or so) and see most of your questions have been answered with great knowledge and detail. Metal is (most of the time) expressing rage about the wrongs of this world. It is aggression,. anger,. energy,. release,.. and that's why us metal heads love it so. The band Slipknot are all very cool and actually very mild manner dudes in person. They are performance artists. Just like Stephen Kings lays his art on 'paper',. they do it through music. Except 75% of the time,.. if not more,. the songs are about real world issues. RIP Joey Jordison (the drummer) who just died last month. A real loss to our community.
The masks mean different things to everyone. For me, it was putting the focus on the music, instead of the person performing it.

You make great observations. Bands have always had ways of 'masking' themselves. David Bowie during the 'Spiders' era, T Rex, Alice Cooper, KISS, etc.
Yes!! Can't wait for the next one! Love Slipknot 🤟🔥
Yo I got two tickets for y’all at Knotfest in ATL this year. I just subbed and would love for y’all to see them alive - it’s an ENTIRE experience.

Ironically, with Slipknot, the masks and who they are on stage is probably the best insight into how they feel on the inside.

The star thing is called the nonogram...each of the star points are meant to represent all 9 members of the band, and the circles are strength, loyalty, Unity and friendship.
I love watching your reactions. You guys are very intelligent in your analysis of music and movies are your personalities are just awesome.
Slipknot is from the same place as where I was born Des Moines, IA. I still have relatives in Urbandale(suburb) where they came out from.
also corey the vocalist and Jim root one of the guitarist were in band called stone sour
A great band. Bother is amazing
So, I feel like I need to give you guys some insight about the masks. Corey Taylor, the lead singer, said in an interview, that everyone wears a mask that covers up the real version of themselves and hides their secrets from the world. These masks are an outward representation of the the inner person that they are. If you look back over the years, the bands masks have evolved over time. As each of the members of the band evolved as a person, so did their masks, representing their inner evolution as individuals.
On a side note, if you take the time of evaluate the lyrics on each of their songs, they have a very deep meaning at the personal level to the person who wrote the song. There is a song, that I do not think that you guys should listen to yet, called "The Devil In I" that Corey wrote as a part of The Gray Chapter album. Corey wrote the song representing the pain that he felt when Paul Gray, a member of the band and one of his best friends, passed away. The band has gone through so much together and love each other deeply. They all believe that "The Nine" are the closest people that they will ever have in their lives. We should all be so lucky to have that type of friendship with one person, let alone eight others. I love this band, and have immense respect for their history.
"They have a situation going on in that video". Lol thats one serious situation. Lol the look on Asia's face is priceless lol
Whoo slipknot... big rabbit hole. And whoop celebrate those mavs.
Rock and Metal hits a certain frequency in people that no other genre of music can. Once its in your blood it will never leave you.
No Slipknot is crazy that way. Seriously 😂😂
I love metal concerts was in a moshpit once where I got knocked over lost my shoe and an ear plug a group of people helped me back up and gave me back my stuff and then pushed me back in. what a great time
I listen to ALL types of music genres ...... RnB, Rock, Hip Hop, Slow Jams, Reggae, Metal, Rap, Funk, Soul. What I want to hear depends on the mood or situation I'm in at the time. I usually listen to FERAL music like Slipknot when I want the blood pumped up, to "unleash the beast", etc. (eg. morning wake up, hard core exercising, etc).
Some people I know would call this "angry music" ..... I don't see a problem with that. Everyone needs to release some aggression every so often ..... cut loose. Can't hurt to do it in a positive fashion by listening to some decent Thrash Metal music like SLIPKNOT.
Check out something from Slipknot's first album! Their song Eyeless is so damn good! Nothing beats their first 3 albums for me!
But Joey, the drummer, is imo one of the best drummers to ever do it!
Great reaction guys! 💯🔥❤
Joey was honestly one of the best parts of the band, new guy's good too but he doesn't have the same feeling
@@Sneakacist I've only heard a couple songs off the new album and they're good for sure but I hear that! Joey's just next level!
Another track of Slipknot to check out seeing as you like the live performance is Spit it Out Live at Download 2009. Truly epic!!!!!! Also like one of the previous comments said Corey Taylor singing Snuff (which is a Slipknot song) live in 2016 in London. Will certainly change the way you look at him as a vocalist
