One thing that's amazed me about Corey Taylor for like basically ever is he manages to scream yet you still understand and feel every single word he says.
This is one of their darkest songs and vids imo. Been a fan since 2009, and this gives me that brain scratching, face melting vibe it is a fucking masterpiece from hell.
I've been a fan since 99. This song is about Joey. I will love Slipknot till the day I die, but Joey was my favorite member, so this is far from my favorite Knot song. That said, you can't deny how hard this song is.
Criminally underrated album. I know it gets a good amount of praise as it is, but it deserves more for the quality of every song, from the 1st to the 14th, on this great album.
This band is showing respect to a family member who has passed, the songs on the album all make sense, it is nothing but true love for a lost family member, RIP Paul Grey, you were family to alot of people.
This song isn't about satan people. That's just the metaphorical part. Corey stated this song is about his guilt. In his case, the guilt he felt when Paul died. The guilt of "If I had done more to help, would he still be here?". The whole "I hope you live to see the day when your world goes up in flames. And as you die you see my face. Your the only one to blame" is what Corey's guilt is portraying what Paul would be saying to him. And since they all have a different number, they're down 1 number when Paul died. Hence -1. So stop saying its a satanic song. That's just the metaphorical part to portray a very relatable human emotion. A very emotionally heavy song. Love it!
andrew ehalt They are artists, f you need to explain their work to people out there then don't bother specially online. Most of us are not stupid, majority are here to lsten to music, while some come to troll and relive their insecurities on someone else that they do not know, it's not your oblgaton to save them.... Again we are grownups here that understand the concept of fantasy.
Don't see why people are complaining that it sounds like Iowa, when you look back at all of the feelings and emotions that created the pure rage and hatred called Iowa, and the pain and destruction after Paul died, this has to be meanest, most hateful and pure utter rage, and it will be amazing
Iowa is most definitely one of the best albums out there. There are only 2 songs that don't speak to me, where as other albums only around half the songs make me say "oh, I'll choose to listen to this". I'm excited for another album maybe LIKE Iowa
I'm 22 now and I still remember being blown away at 13 going to 14 with how at the time, they actually surprised everybody with this song and the the gray chapter. Oh the memories lol.
No tiene nada que ver con Joey, lo confirmó el mismo Corey. Tenía que ver más o menos con la parte más oscura de uno. Las referencias a Satán no tienen tanto que ver con elogiar al maligno sino más bien para comparar que tan oscura puede ser el alma del que canta. Al decir Your choices are The Negative One and me te está dando a elegir que parte de Corey quieres ver, si la negativa absoluta o su verdadero yo, aunque la verdad es que no haya mucha diferencia entre ambos. Algo así entendí, la entrevista que ví estaba en inglés.
@@lorenhusky2717 that's not confirmed, and it actually won't be because they would have made an announcement saying that there upcoming album will be there last.
I find it funny how people think this is Satanic. Edit: before you say it is, this is art. If I was to wear a crown of thorns and carry a cross for miles on my back, that still wouldn't make me Jesus. If I was to wear a kimono, that would not make me Japanese.
Why are so many people complaining about this band not getting the Grammy? Grammys rarely ever go to the most deserving artist; they usually go to the ones that generate the most revenue. Apparently, Slipknot didn't. I'm not stating any opinions here, but stop complaining when we all know it's not about "the best."
That's what pissed a lot of people off. Rather than being a true representation of the genre's best artists, the Grammys have become a giant popularity contest. I know the other nominees were a hundred times more metal than Tenacious D, but I still can't get over how blind one of the most recognized music academies have become.
***** That's why people shouldn't even put ANY trust in the Grammys. Watch something that isn't driven by the money and paid out in advance by record companies and advertisers. I can see why people are pissed off about Slipknot not getting it, but I don't understand it. I'm not even Slipknot's biggest fan, but I thought this song deserved it (especially a hell of a lot more than Tenacious D, not that Tenacious D is a bad band, but winning for best METAL performance???). Slipknot was never going to get it because their song didn't generate as much revenue or popularity as Tenacious D. In the end, that's all that matters. It goes to show why NO GOOD SONGS were nominated for "Song of the Year" or "Record of the Year." Just basic pop songs that earned a lot of money and got blasted over and over on Top 40 radio. It's the same reason Paramore won for "Best Rock Song" even though they're actually power pop (at the very heaviest), not even close to Rock. I mean, let's look at another example. Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" was nominated for "Record of the Year," but it was just the same three notes over and over again with clichéd lyrics that she didn't even write herself. Why not anything by Slipknot Kendrick Lamar, Tom Petty, even Lady Gaga this year doing those awesome standards (with Tony Bennett), heck, ANYONE but Iggy? Because Iggy made a ton of revenue, so she was nominated. She didn't win, but the song that won ("Stay with Me" by Sam Smith) was only a little better. Still clichéd and unoriginal pop. I have nothing against pop when it's done well, but NONE of the songs nominated in ANY pop categories this year were any good. I see what you're saying, though. I see why people are frustrated, but people should never trust the Grammys to reward the best artist for the best work. :(
Julián Tovar It is considered an "academy." Technically. The panel of people who decide the winners are considered to be members of an "academy." I know, it really is a joke. :P
Plus hundreds of years ago people used to practice orgies with woman, men, animals and kids. Emperors used to be sadistic and they were fucking crazy and violent. Slavery was horrible too. They would laugh at you and at this vid and they´ll show you the true meaning of perversity lmao
I heard a story the other day about how Slipknot was performing at a concert and some butthurt fans of another band got mad and started throwing shit at them so after the concert slipknot went into the crowd and beat the shit out of the ones who throw shit. This is why I love them.
Losers Suck It was fans of Mushroomhead. Because both fanbases think its wrong for people to like both bands and that there's a rivalry when both bands have stated that there is no rivalry and they'd even do a tour together.
I'm aware of the fan rivalry and realized after the comment that was the case. I also heard that slipknot and mushroomhead where cool. I honestly like mushroomhead thanks for the heads up tho bro.
For the interested Corey Taylor said about this song : “People don’t know what to expect from us and that’s kinda the way we like it. the great thing is that-I was telling this to somebody the other day-”The Negative One” isn’t our single. That was just a gift for the fans, like we wanted them to hear a piece of the album. The single comes out in a few weeks and it’s completely different. It’s more melodic, but it’s dark, it’s powerful man, its something different, people are going to lose their minds when they hear that.”
If you like Mudvayne, Static X, Rob Zombie, check us out! We just put out a new single/video called "Neurostatic". Let us know what you think in the comments!
The song kinda bores me. Maybe just because the lack of instruments but thats just me. I still think custer would be cooler but it would make sense to make a video for something a little softer
Fire and caffeine, a lot of nicotine I'm on a burn, so I better tell you everything The competition, the superstition Nevermind 'cause you're never gonna give in If acquired and that's how you like it The same trouble in a different disguise Bound to walk with a target on my back At least I'm ready for another attack The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one and me Svengali, wail with the enemies I never follow and I never make apologies Your divisions, are gonna get ya Because you won't disappoint each other Center for the cynical, you're so political You're getting ready 'cause the first move is critical Reciprocity, somebody's listening Until we learn from our time we can never die The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one and me The negative one and me I hope you live To see the day When your world comes up in flames And as you die You see my face You're the only one to blame, yeah F**k The Prescient, the Nascent The quotient (They all will fall) The Cystic, symbolic, condition (Systemic) Egregious, replete with These lesions (Contaminate) Succumb to the selfish Creation (Your failure) Know I got ability, divisibility I point a finger but it's always looking back at me The centerpiece pulling on the mechanism Unearthing skies of the cataclysm When the innocent begin to circumvent The color fades, but the picture is vibrant What do you believe, doesn't matter now Turn away, the killer is that of now The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one and me I hope you live To see the day When your world comes up in flames And as you die You see my face You're the only one to blame The Lord of lies The morning star You had to be set free Opposing sides Your choices are The negative one and me
It's good. i like the sounds. I don't know why they don't like it. I wish some of the screaming at parts were deeper though. I think this is good nu metal which i think they didn't sell out on. I can't think of many good nu metal sounding bands now days. Hopefully the whole album is at least this good.
marentes133 Yeah and what's best about it is that I feel the old 'pulse' in it. I thought they new songs are gonna be shitty but hell yeah I'm listening to it for the 8th consecutive time now. :D
Maybe they should have named the song "The Negative One's" not "The Negative One" haha. Also I admit I love the sound of the album so far. Love the new single and love this song. I also love the creepy sounds found in this song.
To be honest, as much as i love Slipknot, Tenacious D is a rockband (which i like too) that is more accessible to a wider audience, while Slipknot is a specific type of metal based on aggression and oppressed feelings. Props to Tenacious D, they have some pretty cool music. I'd take GB and KG over any radio bullshit noise nowadays.
Average Guitar Player I wouldn't say Tenacious D has a wider audience. They don't have a strong following. They're a joke band. Slipknot has serious music with radioplay and a massive following. Also, Tenacious D isn't metal. They play acoustic guitars for gods sake! I like both bands, but Slipknot deserved that Grammy.
iHatePop i didn't say i disagreed but i understand why they won. Maybe a 'wider audience' was badly put, let's just say they are better accepted. Slipknot has won the grammy's before so no biggy. Slipknot is here to stay and that's the most important. I'm on your side. Except bringing acoustic guitars into this like it's a bad thing caus thats bs
Fucking stoked.....just had the s tribal tattooed on my forearm going back to have (sic) put below it eye less on the left of it heretic on the right of it and maggot above it
After all they have been through, I'm not surprised they aren't in their own music video. They're not ready but people kept pushing them to put out a new album without two very important members. It's still a really hard time for them :/
Lol corey said that this isn't the single and that the single is called "The Devil In I" lol so I guess they want to be in the vid only for the single :/
This is awesome. The song is clearly about video games. There's references to Tetris, Street Fighter, Goat Simulator, and Cooking Mama. I even noticed a few Mario and Sonic references, too. It's good to see that Corey is getting back to his lighter more pop sounding music. I was feeling really down this morning, but--ah, jinkies! Boy, did they just brighten up my day. I'm gonna share this song with my pals!
People who used to say that the gray chapter is not real Slipknot clearly couldn't hear the chord progressions and how tribal the drums sound. To me this is still the band's best album
Vol. 3 isn't the worst or best. He has said in interviews he tried a different voice because Iowa almost ruined his voice lol. I'd say this song is a good sign for the album. Most aggressive sound I've heard from them since Iowa and that's what most of us have wanted.
I'm totally tired of the people that are always saying "This is not Slipknot, I don't like this Slipknot, I miss old Slipknot" What the hell you guys are talking about? Slipknot is Slipknot, is that simple, if you miss "Old Slipknot" then go listen to their first album songs, stop trying to look like the "True Slipknot fans that don't like their new style and songs and are disappointed because their new album because is not like the old ones and is not Slipknot" you guys think that by doing this you guys look cool or look like the people that know everything of Slipknot? you guys are just stupid...
The dumbshits wanna hear the god damn heretic anthem for a fucking hour straight and piss me off with that crybaby shit, "they sound too much like stone sour!" Whaaaaaa! Cry me a fucking river.
Am I the only one that's been unaware to all the hate towards .5? I thought people would love this album because you can just hear the anger and pain this time around. if anything is worth hating on, it'd be All Hope Is Gone, it didnt feel right and if anything felt forced. I'm not a "true slipknot fan" or anything of that bullshit, i just enjoy listening to slipknot.
This is actually just an opening song for the new album/era, it's not even a single so try to calm the fuck down people lol. It took me a few days to actually like the song but I can't stop listening to it. Just glad Slipknot is back! FINALLY.
0:50 the music The Burden is also like that!! I had already noticed this before, but I just remembered now that I can comment on some not very recent videos.
For all we know, this could have been recorded whenever, since its not a single. So it's possible this could be Joey playing. I would laugh so hard if it turned out to be him and to see the faces of the people who said the drumming on this song is shit.
The Negative One is not a single according to Corey Taylor. The first single for the new album is called "The Devil and I" and they are planning on releasing a music video for it (featuring the band members) some time later this month. The Negative One and its promotional video was a gift to the fans and only a taste of whats to come. He also said they are trying to release the album along side Knotfest in October. So there you have it. Video was pretty cool, imo, But the song itself is fucking awesome!!!
Sovereign King www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04c9fql you're gonna have to skip around a bit. They chopped up the interview and play it during the breaks in the music.
Sovereign King you got it, dude. Bout 30 minutes into the broadcast is when Corey comes in i think. After that like i said you will have to skip ahead to catch the rest.
Everyone is saying 'weak drums'. From a musician I can say these drums are fucking amazing, just as good as Joey, everyone who is complaining is just still butthurt that Joey is no longer in the band and is convincing themselves that the drums are weak.
Dude, I agree. Realistically, in comparison to better drummers, Joey only had speed (crack-feet in particular) and maybe a dash of Joey. Based on this song only, who ever did the drums isn't a metal-structured drummer at his core. I'm not a drummer but I'm no stranger to bands, sound, and world-class musicianship. This guy is solid, and he knows how to move and keep the rest of the band driving. OR, it's just clever editing. But one can hope....
The new drummer could be 1000 times better than Joey and people still wouldn't care. They would still be butthurt just because its not him on the album.
I love metal. Girlfriend hates it. She's kind enough though to let me play it in the car and she'll put headphones in and listen to her stuff. I'll blast it when she's not with me. Best of both worlds.
I'm in the same boat as you. But instead of a GF it's my mom... and I don't listen to it on the radio, I just sing it in my head. But still, best of both worlds.
Lea Hochenegger It was a TON of fun! Corey Taylor was in a neck brace, and he also fell and hurt himself at the end of the show, but it was still really good, and he said he is ok.
Since their first album - die hard Slipknot fan. 51 Years old and grandfather of three still play slipknot everyday. This song is one of my favorites along with Custer and Orphan off their new album. If its too loud you're too old and I will never be too old so suck it!
THIS!!! My 6 year old son and I loooove slipknot and blast it in the kindergarten drop-off/pick up car line everyday he tells me that other moms are boring and "beige" and that he's glad he has such a "hard-core mommy" hahaha he's my little metal prince most kids are scared of this kind of music and aesthetic but not him he just says turn it up louder mom! I'm 40 years old and will still be going full on horns up blasting metal in my future nursing home best believe that haha!
When you use this as a way to pump yourself up for some bullshit you gotta deal with at work tomorrow. This song comes in clutch. You will always come oout on top.
Well corey said it was a gift for the fans it basically has nothing to do with the new album besides showing us what directions the other songs could go
Sil3ntKn1ght i was slipknot too i mean who would've thought about this being a surprise i mean its their first song in Six years and right 2 months before the album is released
Gary Nicholls haha well for an example "the morning star," which can symbolize Lucifer, while "The negative one," can symbolize Satan. I know what these two things can symbolize, which I can look more into them and apply them to what the meaning of the song could be. Everyone perceives things differently, obviously, so what I believe to be the meaning of the song is, it might be completely different than what someone else thinks the meaning of the song can be.

Why are so many people complaining about this band not getting the Grammy? Grammys rarely ever go to the most deserving artist; they usually go to the ones that generate the most revenue. Apparently, Slipknot didn't. I'm not stating any opinions here, but stop complaining when we all know it's not about "the best."
That's what pissed a lot of people off. Rather than being a true representation of the genre's best artists, the Grammys have become a giant popularity contest. I know the other nominees were a hundred times more metal than Tenacious D, but I still can't get over how blind one of the most recognized music academies have become.
***** That's why people shouldn't even put ANY trust in the Grammys. Watch something that isn't driven by the money and paid out in advance by record companies and advertisers.
I can see why people are pissed off about Slipknot not getting it, but I don't understand it. I'm not even Slipknot's biggest fan, but I thought this song deserved it (especially a hell of a lot more than Tenacious D, not that Tenacious D is a bad band, but winning for best METAL performance???). Slipknot was never going to get it because their song didn't generate as much revenue or popularity as Tenacious D. In the end, that's all that matters. It goes to show why NO GOOD SONGS were nominated for "Song of the Year" or "Record of the Year." Just basic pop songs that earned a lot of money and got blasted over and over on Top 40 radio. It's the same reason Paramore won for "Best Rock Song" even though they're actually power pop (at the very heaviest), not even close to Rock.
I mean, let's look at another example. Iggy Azalea's "Fancy" was nominated for "Record of the Year," but it was just the same three notes over and over again with clichéd lyrics that she didn't even write herself. Why not anything by Slipknot Kendrick Lamar, Tom Petty, even Lady Gaga this year doing those awesome standards (with Tony Bennett), heck, ANYONE but Iggy? Because Iggy made a ton of revenue, so she was nominated. She didn't win, but the song that won ("Stay with Me" by Sam Smith) was only a little better. Still clichéd and unoriginal pop. I have nothing against pop when it's done well, but NONE of the songs nominated in ANY pop categories this year were any good.
I see what you're saying, though. I see why people are frustrated, but people should never trust the Grammys to reward the best artist for the best work. :(
***** The grammys are a fucking joke anyway.
Julián Tovar It is considered an "academy." Technically. The panel of people who decide the winners are considered to be members of an "academy." I know, it really is a joke. :P

I'd fucking love to travel a few hundred years to the past and show everyone this video. Just to see their reaction would make my life.
Show them "Blow Your Trumpet Gabriel" by Behemoth. That video is hard to watch, and not because of the Satanism
They would be more impressed with the laptop or phone you use to show them this vid.
Plus hundreds of years ago people used to practice orgies with woman, men, animals and kids. Emperors used to be sadistic and they were fucking crazy and violent.
Slavery was horrible too. They would laugh at you and at this vid and they´ll show you the true meaning of perversity lmao

Naa I'd transmit it to them telepathically. Fuck them up even more.
Oliver Cromwell Read my other comment bro. They would laugh at this.
I heard a story the other day about how Slipknot was performing at a concert and some butthurt fans of another band got mad and started throwing shit at them so after the concert slipknot went into the crowd and beat the shit out of the ones who throw shit. This is why I love them.
You love them because they "beat the shit" out of someone? Good for you.
***** No dumb ass. I love them because they don't take shit from anyone. I'd say the people had it coming if they were throwing batteries at them.
Losers Suck It was fans of Mushroomhead. Because both fanbases think its wrong for people to like both bands and that there's a rivalry when both bands have stated that there is no rivalry and they'd even do a tour together.
I'm aware of the fan rivalry and realized after the comment that was the case. I also heard that slipknot and mushroomhead where cool. I honestly like mushroomhead thanks for the heads up tho bro.
I like both :^]
I love this song
For the interested Corey Taylor said about this song : “People don’t know what to expect from us and that’s kinda the way we like it. the great thing is that-I was telling this to somebody the other day-”The Negative One” isn’t our single. That was just a gift for the fans, like we wanted them to hear a piece of the album. The single comes out in a few weeks and it’s completely different. It’s more melodic, but it’s dark, it’s powerful man, its something different, people are going to lose their minds when they hear that.”
Thank you for sharing this !
Danny Lawrance He said that no the "BBC Radio 1 Rock Show" see with your own eyes www.slipknot-metal.com/main.php
Am I the only person here that is happy with this new sound?
Bah, it aint new. Sounds like Iowa. Really cool
Kamrat William i thought the exact same, so much Iowa, i love it
No your not. Im currently obsessed about this song. I can't wait for the new album
nope! I'm quite happy about it myself!
I'm really happy with it. And I'm even happier to have a new Slipknot album coming out by the end of the year.
I think this is the most I've ever heard Craig and Sid contribute. Sweet.
Agree
chriskanemeier listen to tattered & torn
Yeah their fingerprints are all over the first album.
Matthew Gomez Red Album aside, this is the most I've been able to hear their contribution. Iowa slowly started their decline into the background.
chriskanemeier You do know that MFKR was slipknots first album?
Can we bring this back? This feeling? This music? This vibe. The world needs more of this.
If you like Mudvayne, Static X, Rob Zombie, check us out! We just put out a new single/video called "Neurostatic". Let us know what you think in the comments!
Does anyone know if they will make another music video for this album? Custer would be perfect!
Corey said they were gonna try makin a Killpop music video
Eww that would be kinda boring if you ask me but hell its up to the band
Scott Bowley why killpop is a fucking good song
The song kinda bores me. Maybe just because the lack of instruments but thats just me. I still think custer would be cooler but it would make sense to make a video for something a little softer
Scott Bowley I can see a Custer and Sarcastrophe video next. Maybe even AOV.
Who else is trying to survive life with Slipknot? *

It's good. i like the sounds. I don't know why they don't like it. I wish some of the screaming at parts were deeper though.
I think this is good nu metal which i think they didn't sell out on. I can't think of many good nu metal sounding bands now days. Hopefully the whole album is at least this good.
TheUnBeheadedSlayer I agree with you bro !
marentes133 Yeah and what's best about it is that I feel the old 'pulse' in it. I thought they new songs are gonna be shitty but hell yeah I'm listening to it for the 8th consecutive time now. :D
Maybe they should have named the song "The Negative One's" not "The Negative One" haha. Also I admit I love the sound of the album so far. Love the new single and love this song. I also love the creepy sounds found in this song.

Somehow Tenacious D won a Grammy over this...... What the hell....?!
To be honest, as much as i love Slipknot, Tenacious D is a rockband (which i like too) that is more accessible to a wider audience, while Slipknot is a specific type of metal based on aggression and oppressed feelings. Props to Tenacious D, they have some pretty cool music. I'd take GB and KG over any radio bullshit noise nowadays.
Average Guitar Player *JB
Average Guitar Player I wouldn't say Tenacious D has a wider audience. They don't have a strong following. They're a joke band. Slipknot has serious music with radioplay and a massive following. Also, Tenacious D isn't metal. They play acoustic guitars for gods sake! I like both bands, but Slipknot deserved that Grammy.
FUCK!!! I HATE THE GRAMMYS
iHatePop i didn't say i disagreed but i understand why they won. Maybe a 'wider audience' was badly put, let's just say they are better accepted. Slipknot has won the grammy's before so no biggy. Slipknot is here to stay and that's the most important. I'm on your side. Except bringing acoustic guitars into this like it's a bad thing caus thats bs
this is a fucking masterpiece. holy fucking shit

well, glad i got to see Slipknot live when Paul and Joey were still around
Same here actually, saw them back in 2008. Then I found Tool..
Ethereal I found Tool soon afterwards as well, now I can't get enough of them
The argument is not that they're emo or whiny, I just don't listen to them anymore. Heck, I barely listen to Tool anymore these days.
same here,saw them in NY during the iowa tour in 2001

@@luciferStar420 i know ive heard the new album im just sad i have to re listen yo them
After all they have been through, I'm not surprised they aren't in their own music video. They're not ready but people kept pushing them to put out a new album without two very important members. It's still a really hard time for them :/
It's been 5 years since Paul Greys death which was due to a drug problem, and Joey Jordison was fired. It's time they move on.
They 're not in the video because they're building up the excitement for the new masks and members
Lol corey said that this isn't the single and that the single is called "The Devil In I" lol so I guess they want to be in the vid only for the single :/
members dont HAVE to be in their music videos...
michael matthew
They are not ready to replace them which they wont but they still are being told to get replacements
This is awesome. The song is clearly about video games. There's references to Tetris, Street Fighter, Goat Simulator, and Cooking Mama. I even noticed a few Mario and Sonic references, too. It's good to see that Corey is getting back to his lighter more pop sounding music. I was feeling really down this morning, but--ah, jinkies! Boy, did they just brighten up my day. I'm gonna share this song with my pals!
I totally agree with you. So glad Slipknot came to their senses. They used to be way too angry.
Took me too long to realize this is satire
Wtf is wrong with me
@@mynameisgreg7508 They done well, world's shit
This song made me appreciate Joey's drumming a whole lot more, he was the best of the best, no other drummer will ever be as good as him in Slipknot.
Joey didn't play on this album
That's my point, this drumming sounds dull in comparison.
I think jays drumming sounds beautiful @viejodelentes6079

I feel you
Damn, I cant stop headbanging .
Sebastian Tak lo kiikk

Corey says this album is like Vol. 3 and Iowa. If the album is like this song though, it sounds more like Iowa and self-titled.
Definitely like the old stuff.
I agree, this sounds more like Iowa and the self titled album. I hear a little bit of Subliminal Verses, but not much
Vol 3 is the worst, along with All Women Are Gone, Lets get Gayer.
I agree with grom, Vol 3 was horrible. His voice sucked, the production and drumming was weird, and it was way too soft.
Vol. 3 isn't the worst or best. He has said in interviews he tried a different voice because Iowa almost ruined his voice lol. I'd say this song is a good sign for the album. Most aggressive sound I've heard from them since Iowa and that's what most of us have wanted.
Most underrated song of Slipknot.
Who fucking loves the drumming in this
me This is So Good \m/
almost have a seizure every time i hear it... so powerful
me but I still miss joey
my neck hates it for sure
Not bad at all but vocals and guitars are much more prominent in this one
I didn't know this was a dance track, never knew what it was like to dance to metal.
+Keith Telesh get out
Cokko McYipp Well that joke went over your head.
+Keith Telesh Babymetal.... Kek
The only way to dance to heavy metal is to head bang
+Zedyor thats so fucking true
Sounds much more like old-school Slipknot. I approve.
Also, goats are back.
best Slipknot song imho, across all 7 albums so far
I'm totally tired of the people that are always saying "This is not Slipknot, I don't like this Slipknot, I miss old Slipknot" What the hell you guys are talking about? Slipknot is Slipknot, is that simple, if you miss "Old Slipknot" then go listen to their first album songs, stop trying to look like the "True Slipknot fans that don't like their new style and songs and are disappointed because their new album because is not like the old ones and is not Slipknot" you guys think that by doing this you guys look cool or look like the people that know everything of Slipknot? you guys are just stupid...
The dumbshits wanna hear the god damn heretic anthem for a fucking hour straight and piss me off with that crybaby shit, "they sound too much like stone sour!" Whaaaaaa! Cry me a fucking river.
finally. I woulda said that but you beat me to it. well said
You guys are the people I would like to talk too
Am I the only one that's been unaware to all the hate towards .5? I thought people would love this album because you can just hear the anger and pain this time around. if anything is worth hating on, it'd be All Hope Is Gone, it didnt feel right and if anything felt forced. I'm not a "true slipknot fan" or anything of that bullshit, i just enjoy listening to slipknot.
Porn give erections, Slipknot chills...
This is actually just an opening song for the new album/era, it's not even a single so try to calm the fuck down people lol. It took me a few days to actually like the song but I can't stop listening to it. Just glad Slipknot is back! FINALLY.
Ironically, it sounds exactly like a B-side from Iowa...
I liked it instantly, after two albums they finally made something in IOWA style.
If I was a wrestler this would be my theme
0:50 the music The Burden is also like that!! I had already noticed this before, but I just remembered now that I can comment on some not very recent videos.
Cant wait for the single THE DEVIL IN I
What are you talking about
Eric Stacy this isnt a single.. just a gift for us from slipknot
Also the single is supposed to be completely different to this, so im looking forward to see how different :P
For all we know, this could have been recorded whenever, since its not a single. So it's possible this could be Joey playing. I would laugh so hard if it turned out to be him and to see the faces of the people who said the drumming on this song is shit.
nick k I don't really understand why so many people are hating on the drums. I think they're GREAT. I think they actually fit the Slipknot style
The Negative One is not a single according to Corey Taylor. The first single for the new album is called "The Devil and I" and they are planning on releasing a music video for it (featuring the band members) some time later this month. The Negative One and its promotional video was a gift to the fans and only a taste of whats to come. He also said they are trying to release the album along side Knotfest in October. So there you have it. Video was pretty cool, imo, But the song itself is fucking awesome!!!
Sovereign King www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04c9fql you're gonna have to skip around a bit. They chopped up the interview and play it during the breaks in the music.
Sovereign King you got it, dude. Bout 30 minutes into the broadcast is when Corey comes in i think. After that like i said you will have to skip ahead to catch the rest.
n00bs4ib0t133 I heard it, fuck, I'm stoked that this isn't even the single!
Still good man. Corey Taylor is a god of metal

Everyone is saying 'weak drums'. From a musician I can say these drums are fucking amazing, just as good as Joey, everyone who is complaining is just still butthurt that Joey is no longer in the band and is convincing themselves that the drums are weak.
Exactly
Maybe the drums are complex but they still sounds weak comparing to their older songs
Dude, I agree. Realistically, in comparison to better drummers, Joey only had speed (crack-feet in particular) and maybe a dash of Joey. Based on this song only, who ever did the drums isn't a metal-structured drummer at his core. I'm not a drummer but I'm no stranger to bands, sound, and world-class musicianship. This guy is solid, and he knows how to move and keep the rest of the band driving.
OR, it's just clever editing. But one can hope....
I'm just glad this drummer can mix it up and not just "be fast". He knows structure, flavor and technicality.
The new drummer could be 1000 times better than Joey and people still wouldn't care. They would still be butthurt just because its not him on the album.
Sometimes I Wonder how this song would've sounded like if Corey's voice was like in Iowa. The song is brutal anywayz.
I honestly don't know if it would be as good. I think this song needs his tired worn out voice that he has now.
+Son Goku you have me wondering this too :( the Diasterpiece intro scream in this song?
_Bennion_ Dat was brutally sexy !!!
Son Goku just imagine this song with that voice. noone will ever replace Iowa.
_Bennion_ Imagine if this was written in IOWA album and was performed in 2002 disasterpieces
I don know why i love so much The screamstyle
I love metal. Girlfriend hates it. She's kind enough though to let me play it in the car and she'll put headphones in and listen to her stuff. I'll blast it when she's not with me. Best of both worlds.
I'm in the same boat as you.
But instead of a GF it's my mom... and I don't listen to it on the radio, I just sing it in my head. But still, best of both worlds.
my ol' lady loves metal slipknot in this moment emmure we just saw slipknot and korn like 2 weeks ago

Since their first album - die hard Slipknot fan. 51 Years old and grandfather of three still play slipknot everyday. This song is one of my favorites along with Custer and Orphan off their new album. If its too loud you're too old and I will never be too old so suck it!
THIS!!! My 6 year old son and I loooove slipknot and blast it in the kindergarten drop-off/pick up car line everyday he tells me that other moms are boring and "beige" and that he's glad he has such a "hard-core mommy" hahaha he's my little metal prince most kids are scared of this kind of music and aesthetic but not him he just says turn it up louder mom! I'm 40 years old and will still be going full on horns up blasting metal in my future nursing home best believe that haha!
this is no video for children
This video is for true fans

how can you say they are symbolic before you have deviphered them, you absolute nostril??
Dat morning star.
Gary Nicholls haha well for an example "the morning star," which can symbolize Lucifer, while "The negative one," can symbolize Satan. I know what these two things can symbolize, which I can look more into them and apply them to what the meaning of the song could be. Everyone perceives things differently, obviously, so what I believe to be the meaning of the song is, it might be completely different than what someone else thinks the meaning of the song can be.
