Good question - Media = film, TV and radio. As well, custom background music for commercials and jingles as well as TV/Radio ID stingers. Thanks for asking :)
@@ugrena7419 I agree Corey's voice is fantastic in it but everyone underrates the production on the studio version. It's easily my favourite song and any acoustic version just misses out on the full production
@@ugrena7419 Yes you are correct if you do it do the SNUFF song live in London is a must. The pain on Corey as he sings that song made a tear roll down my face. Not for me but for him. Other coach vocal toobers have no words to say after that performance and are left mumbling "um" "okay" 'UM' "wow" "well".
Check out the DOOM Eternal soundtrack. It's composed by Mick Gordon and is an absolute masterpiece. "The Only Thing they Fear is You" is a good one to do.
Hell Yeah i'm really digging "Hellwalker" and "BFG Division" while we are on video game music how about some Matt Uelman "Diablo 2 - Tristram" ruclips.net/video/XheJnmLAwhk/видео.html another really good one is ruclips.net/video/yYyqtg3yO7Q/видео.html but is kinda short so maybe as a bonus to the other song.
one of the reasons slipknot is my favorite band is their insane musicianship. for 9 guys to play as in synch and tight as they do, with their arrangements, is freakin phenomenal.
This is one of my favorite Slipknot songs. Massive riffs and hooks. Such a well written and put together song. This is one of those songs that could be covered in any genre, IMO
I'm still here...SLIPKNOT is one of those bands you can close your eyes and point at a list of songs and be greated with badass! First song i couldn't stop playing - Spit It Out
@@KeyOfGeebz maybe it has something to do with the fact that this album was recorded "live" as in not on stage but in the "studio" (which was a mansion they had all the equipment moved in to) with the whole band playing together not an instrument at a time
Still here! Awesome reacts, makes me happy to see people who start listening and appreciating some of the music I've listened to for a long time for the first time or at least in a different light.
Huge rabbit hole...Snuff, for Cory's vocals, Duality, Wait and Bleed, Spit It Out (live) is a banger, Unsainted and Nero Forte are newer bangers... are my recomendations to start 😬
Man, honestly I'm really loving your videos. This feels like a completely new branch of reaction videos, much more informative and (dare I say it?) more interesting than the usual style of just being blown away (or pretending to be). Really great vibe, thanks for the content.
I love watching these reactions because they help to (re)discover things from music I love and give them a fresh take. Also, Joey's snare is god tier, so unique.
The band DEATH has some of my all time favorite metal compositions. Consider listening to story to tell, or flattening of emotions. Or literally anything off human, symbolic, or the sound of perseverance. All those albums are gold
@@darrenbarlow5759 he should just review the whole entire album lol. It’s probably my favorite album of all time regardless of genre, but also the most talented supergroup of all time if you know anything about the sludge metal scene in my opinion.
When they came out in the late 90's, Slipknot was no names for any of the members, just numbers for all nine members. I was in the CD store thinking, "So metal, I should get this album!"
Hearing this song after all those years makes me realize how many takes the band and Corey have in this. The vocal verse tracks and transitions into different parts are easy examples
I'm still here! Lol... As the son of a vocal major, I really enjoy your take on music! I love how you break down the technicality of songs in a different way than anyone else!
Still here bud!! Slipknot is my favorite band, definitely dive more into their music, please keep recording and sharing with us! Love your reactions brother!!
I think a good contrast to this song would be “Custer”. The composition is less straightforward, there’s interesting industrial textures and it’s really frantic!
Gotta say even after your other reactions and conversations it’s still super cool you get so much out of Slipknot. Thank you for all your insight and energy.
I! Am still here! Great reaction loved the explanation of the placement of sound. Now I now why I loved pumping this on my stereo in my college days. So in my face. 😁
Opeth - Face of Melinda Pure artistry and the perfect expression of deep love at the first part And the second part... OH MY GOD I NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS PART SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TRANSITION TO A DIFFERENT WORLD You won't regret it TRUST ME
I gotta say, i found your channel the other day but you have reminded me why i kept music a passion and not a career. I love the fun of it, i enjoy the fun and pleasure you get in the same "delicious" riff. Its like eating cake(or pie) for your ears, keep up and always enjoy my friend!!!!
Dude the faces you make when you listen........shows the passion you have towards music. Glad you listen to a lot of metal 🤘🤘 Enjoying the videos keep up the good work 👍 👏 Eyeless, Spit it Out, The Nameless, Disasterpiece, Everything Ends are all great Slipknot tracks I think you should react to.
They share a name but aren't listed one after the other on the album, so it could be a nice video but composition-wise it is very different from Wings... Still, epic songs all around
@@MorningKillsDawn Composition-wise, Wings and Vermilion are miles apart, but it would be nice to see the a composer analysis of two songs that share themes, structure and harmony, but with completely different arrangements and feelings
i'm still here! haha i really appreciate your reactions 💙 i'm a musician and your excitement gets me excited and wanting to play music more 💙 thank you for sharing your good vibes 💙🧿
@@slvtrdna3130 Agreed on all points! "Gematria" is probably my favorite song by them. Definitely underrated. Recently learned the opening riffs on guitar, they are super fun!
Still here. Been with you the whole ride. I don't really comment but I have so many songs I want to share with you! Keep it up, I'm loving the variety and your takes on new-to-you music. Your sincerity makes this channel so much fun.
Absolutely always still here! And it goes without saying that the "like" is also always applied before hitting play. I love that you allow us to hear a song that we are so familiar with and provide us with new things to appreciate...Every. Damn. Time!
Or some of the less stereotypical soad songs? Like I like these song of course but you never hear anyone about Radio/video, prison song or I-E-A-I-A-I-O.
Still here! I love hearing your take on all these great rock/metal performances. These days it’s difficult to find people who “like” this genre at all, let alone someone who can break it down and examine it professionally, and intellectually. Love your content !
This is probably my favorite Slipknot song. It evokes such a strong emotional response from me and because it's not just the amped up, aggressive kind of feeling I typically get from their music -- it stands out in my mind. As far as Slipknot goes, you should consider reacting to "Vermillion", "Wait and Bleed", or "My Plague" as those were all pretty popular but if you're feeling extra froggy with a need to leap, you might try something like "Spit It Out", "Surfacing", or "People = Shit".
Please consider doing a video for Archspire - Involuntary Doppelgänger. They are probably the fastest technical band around, and the singer did vocal coaching for the actor Jason Mamoa, whos a big fan of theirs.
Awesome breakdown Geebs! Glad you started with early Slipknot. It will be interesting to hear your take on their progression over the years with future videos. This is the more raw and lower budget version of a band that has persevered and evolved. There is a ton more Slipknot that is worth your time for sure. Oh and by the way, Im still here!
If you love prog metal, I would recommend "Shogun" by Trivium, it's probably their most progressive work. I would also check out "Sickness Unto You" and "What the Dead Men Say" from their new album.
I absolutely love how unapologetic (in a good way)you've been about stopping and talking and explaining man. Your channel is really on the path to something great, Im really glad you're enjoying the music and doing what you do. Always a pleasure to listen and learn from you man, peace and love 🤙✌ Ps Im still here haha
What does a composer for media mean.... or do?
Good question - Media = film, TV and radio. As well, custom background music for commercials and jingles as well as TV/Radio ID stingers. Thanks for asking :)

@@KeyOfGeebz GEEEEEEEEEEEBZ... Please please please... On the Shores by Ihsahn ❤️
I was wondering the same thing

Whenever someone says TV jingles it's just who I imagine.
Hey Geebz, someone should tell you...
We're all still here
No f’ing s. Kudos.
Snuff - that's where Corey shines with his voice!
Still here ;)
First song I cried to
I highly recommend the live version from his 2018 London performance.
his voice shines more on " From Can to Can't"
@@ugrena7419 I agree Corey's voice is fantastic in it but everyone underrates the production on the studio version. It's easily my favourite song and any acoustic version just misses out on the full production
@@ugrena7419 Yes you are correct if you do it do the SNUFF song live in London is a must. The pain on Corey as he sings that song made a tear roll down my face. Not for me but for him. Other coach vocal toobers have no words to say after that performance and are left mumbling "um" "okay" 'UM' "wow" "well".
"Wait and Bleed" is great, "Snuff" really shows off Corey's vocal talents, "Duality" is a classic.
Duality has a lot of really interesting pieces of background sound.
This 100%. Corey at his best.
I don’t really *love* Slipknot but Duality is one my favorite songs of all time
Check out the DOOM Eternal soundtrack. It's composed by Mick Gordon and is an absolute masterpiece.
"The Only Thing they Fear is You" is a good one to do.
Damn I'm still listening to the album like weekly.
Hell Yeah i'm really digging "Hellwalker" and "BFG Division" while we are on video game music how about some Matt Uelman "Diablo 2 - Tristram" ruclips.net/video/XheJnmLAwhk/видео.html another really good one is ruclips.net/video/yYyqtg3yO7Q/видео.html but is kinda short so maybe as a bonus to the other song.
specifically you should see Anup Sastry and friend's playthrough. :-)
I’d love for him to look at a few game soundtracks, wolfenstein has a lot of great music with mick Gordon too
Rip and Tear is great too
one of the reasons slipknot is my favorite band is their insane musicianship. for 9 guys to play as in synch and tight as they do, with their arrangements, is freakin phenomenal.
I'd love to hear you decompose "Vermillion" by Slipknot. I'm dying to get your take on it.
1 and 2
The US Alternative Mix for part 1. It’s clearer than the original.
Vermilion part 2 would be even better.
Vermillion would be a good one to do. Wouldn't mind seeing Duality or other tracks where the whole band is in on it.
Vermillion pt. 2 yes please.
Great band...my favorite is "Duality"....and if you are looking for total chaos: "Surfacing"!!
Fuck it all! fuck this world!
Fuck everything that you stand for!
Don't belong! don't exist!
Don't give a shit!
Don't ever judge me!
Duality is one of their more progressive tracks
@@Mike_HuntizWet 😀yep!
Paul Jansen
Don’t you PhuQ’n change me
I prefer "scissors" off that debut but "surfacing" is one hell of a jam!
A completely different side of Slipknot is the track "circle". Acoustic and glorious.
and banal and Not actual Slipknot.
Good track
Give me the dust of my fathers
Good track, i thought same about "snuff"
One of my favourite soft songs from them.
A perfect circle - Outsider is another gem
Love Outsider. The remix on... Resident Evil? was phenomenal as well.
This is one of my favorite Slipknot songs. Massive riffs and hooks. Such a well written and put together song. This is one of those songs that could be covered in any genre, IMO
I’m not leaving.
We need Gojira - Flying Whales
Queensryche
Lamb of God - Memento Mori
Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the Great Apocalypse
We really need more Gojira. Flying whales is such an iconic gojira song
I'd prefer blacken the cursed sun
Noooo, we need to ease geebz in gently to lamb of God....... I think we should start with overlord! It would be priceless!
Seconded on the Gojira! Or Art of Dying.
ditto: Queensyche please!!! Anything off of Rage for Order, Warning or Operation Mindecrime
I'm still here! Loved this, definitely need to do more Slipknot!
I'm still here...SLIPKNOT is one of those bands you can close your eyes and point at a list of songs and be greated with badass! First song i couldn't stop playing - Spit It Out
Also the song that introduced me to them
Corey is so damn good. Easily one of the most HYPE of nu-metal frontmen.
it almost sounds like the engineer is trying to mimic the layout of the band as if they are in front of you
EXACTLY!!! So cool.....
@@KeyOfGeebz maybe it has something to do with the fact that this album was recorded "live" as in not on stage but in the "studio" (which was a mansion they had all the equipment moved in to) with the whole band playing together not an instrument at a time
@@humzakhalid7902 That is super neat. I love when bands do things like that. Like Hurt recording Goodbye to the Machine in analog.

It always amazes me on these clean sounding songs of theirs. They are a 9 piece band.
Thank you for featuring Slipknot. Still here... love your show
I'm still here and I brought some coffe! Thanks for your persistance! Alright!
Every video of yours that breaks down a song I enjoy gives me a new appreciation for it. Fantastic, absolutely phenomenal.
You rule.

I'm a major fan too!
Brother, I'm still here. Love your content and how you break down the musical elements as well as the engineering that goes into these records.
When they came out in the late 90's, Slipknot was no names for any of the members, just numbers for all nine members. I was in the CD store thinking, "So metal, I should get this album!"
Spit It Out - Live at Download 2009. Amazing live performance and the crowd interaction is just masterful.

I'm still here! Lol... As the son of a vocal major, I really enjoy your take on music! I love how you break down the technicality of songs in a different way than anyone else!
That's Joey Jordison on drums. There is a video of him warming up that you should check out.
I'm still here brutha and I appreciate you hanging out with me as well. Mahalo!
Snuff, Vermillion Pt2, Devil in I - all good choices!
Two years later I'm still here buddy, keep up the great work
Wait and Bleed is one of my favs from them.
Still here bud!! Slipknot is my favorite band, definitely dive more into their music, please keep recording and sharing with us! Love your reactions brother!!
I think a good contrast to this song would be “Custer”. The composition is less straightforward, there’s interesting industrial textures and it’s really frantic!

Gotta say even after your other reactions and conversations it’s still super cool you get so much out of Slipknot. Thank you for all your insight and energy.
On the note of Slipknot, would love to have you check out "The Blister Exists"
YES!!!!
Omg omg yes

Opeth - Face of Melinda
Pure artistry and the perfect expression of deep love at the first part
And the second part... OH MY GOD I NEVER GET TIRED OF THIS PART SUCH A BEAUTIFUL TRANSITION TO A DIFFERENT WORLD
You won't regret it TRUST ME
"Melinda" is my all-time favourite song from any band. So. Damn. Good.
I gotta say, i found your channel the other day but you have reminded me why i kept music a passion and not a career. I love the fun of it, i enjoy the fun and pleasure you get in the same "delicious" riff. Its like eating cake(or pie) for your ears, keep up and always enjoy my friend!!!!

If you want a song that really highlights Corey Taylor's singing talent, check out "From Can To Can't" from Sound City
I second this!
Third. Love that song so much.
Fourth this without a doubt, also his cover of Wicked Game is great
so good!!!
I have been thinking of suggesting this song too. I feel like he would really appreciate the production on it.
Dude the faces you make when you listen........shows the passion you have towards music.
Glad you listen to a lot of metal 🤘🤘
Enjoying the videos keep up the good work 👍 👏
Eyeless, Spit it Out, The Nameless, Disasterpiece, Everything Ends are all great Slipknot tracks I think you should react to.
Also for other great Slipknot songs:
Eyeless
Dead Memories
My Plague
The Heretic Anthem
Left Behind
gotta get (sic) on there haha fuckin love that banger
@Event Horizon Yes! Purity or Prosthetics would be greatness.
I'm still here, love the chat at the end, remember you aren't stealing time from us, we are giving it to you for good reason
If you get a chance, you should totally check out “When a Demon Defiles A Witch”- Whitechapel or “Neo Seoul”- After The Burial
Oh I'd be interested in his take on After the Burial's Pi (The Mercury God of Infinity) since it's written to the decimals of Pi

I'm still here! In terms of your next Slipknot song, two recommendations: "Gematria (The Killing Name)" and "Snuff" (if you want something softer).
"Gematria" is such an underrated song! It's actually one of my favorites by them. Corey's vocals AND lyrics slap damn hard on that song!
@@slvtrdna3130 Agreed on all points! "Gematria" is probably my favorite song by them. Definitely underrated. Recently learned the opening riffs on guitar, they are super fun!

And the heaviest song they do
Still here. Been with you the whole ride. I don't really comment but I have so many songs I want to share with you! Keep it up, I'm loving the variety and your takes on new-to-you music. Your sincerity makes this channel so much fun.
Pantera - Floods. I'm still here
Wash away man take him with the floods! Shit dude good call!
Trendkill is panteras best album i will fight anyone who says otherwise
Got this track set to play every morning to wake up to. Probably heard it every day for 10 years, still love it.
Slipknot does have 3 percussionists, so it makes sense they have a very specific mix and design for their drums
Absolutely always still here! And it goes without saying that the "like" is also always applied before hitting play. I love that you allow us to hear a song that we are so familiar with and provide us with new things to appreciate...Every. Damn. Time!
Do System Of a Down if you could, try Chop Suey , Toxicity , Aerials
Aerials for sure
Already did Toxicity
Or some of the less stereotypical soad songs? Like I like these song of course but you never hear anyone about Radio/video, prison song or I-E-A-I-A-I-O.

Before I Forget was the song I always listened to at the start of my workouts. It makes you want to explode in a ball of energy and just go
Its gonna be interesting if he did a breakdown from the song 'Iowa'
@Big Homie Steve The Metal Head absolutely! Gently is probably my favorite of slipknot, and Daddy should get an interesting reaction

What the Dead Men Say has been my favorite jam for a while now
