Hes not Paul Gray ,but he sure is a hell of a bassist & has definately earned a spot in slipknot

[@MindOfJigsaw1]

You have 8 guys from Iowa and this you have his royal majesty, Vmann.

[@GrimReefer86]

Jay isn't from Iowa.

vman has a cool personality 😎

[@t1ag217]

Glad to hear the bass alot in the new album, sound sick

[@Benobot99]

I'd love to hear them play The Virus of Life live. That would be quite something. I wish they'd bring back Prosthetics and Scissors too.

[@thugalicious999]

i dont think they could play scissors

[@Rot10drew]

I was at the merch spot getting shirts from blackcraft and I was hearing this convo happening not knowing it was vman till I turned around and he was like a couple feet away from me I was like 😳

[@kidfunkyfly2807]

crazy to think i stood on that stage when i went to the irvine show right where vman was

[@dakinechips]

There's almost too many classics to play them all anymore, setlust is already almost 20 songs. And those are the BANGERS! the melodic and new stuff is great but the setup to play them live would take some care.

[@STANGm06deGT]

I have a whole new respect for V man. He’s got a Cowboys from hell CFH tattoo on the side of his head !! 🤘🏻

[@80money50]

I've seen Slipknot live twice. It's hard to pick only 20 songs for a set list. But from the new album I'd like to hear;
The dying song
Yen
Warranty
Medicine for the dead
H377
(Already heard the chapeltown rag)

[@mikieb77]

Heirloom would be sick. I know it’s a little more radio friendly. But so is before I forget. And it’s played at every show

[@Benobot99]

I'd like to see them close out a show with Finale.

[@TheDarkMannLXIX]

I've seen em about 10 times. First time was back in '01. They just released the Iowa album!

[@marcelbotschafter4394]

So cool that he used Justin's Bass for Adderall!!

[@harithahmadd6470]

vman 🤘🏼 slipknot 🥰 !! big fans from malaysia !❤

[@gageroberts5513]

The problem I have with slipknot, is that they play a lot of the same songs every show. I've been going too their shows since their first show in 2014 with Jay and Vman. So many songs I'm probably never ever gonna hear live. Like me inside, diluted. Orphan. Pulse of the maggots and many more. Every show I've been too (And that's a lot of shows) I can't remember them NOT playing: wait and bleed. Duality. Before I forget. Disasterpiece. There are so many songs off those albums we NEVER hear live and probably never will. I love their new sound, but they don't play most of it! Seeing them play solway firth was actually really good. All out life was really good. But there are classics that I have lost hope for seeing live. If I haven't seen it in the last ten years, I likely never will.

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Ive seen them four times, and they always played Pulse lol.

[@gageroberts5513]

@@bradleyrussell1973 NO WAY

[@gageroberts5513]

@@bradleyrussell1973 i seen em about 6 times. i was also at knotfest 2016 where they played all of iowa, also i did get three nill at knotfest 2014, their first show with jay and vmann

[@marines28]

Correct -- seen them 8 times from 2019-2022, 85%-90% of the setlist is the same.
We need
Red Flag, Critical Darling, Diliuted, Liberate, AOV, Killpop, The Negative One, & many more.

[@gageroberts5513]

@@marines28 they played the negative one a lot. That's why it isn't included for now, it's getting a break. But yeah, the songs that just aren't played ever or rarely deserve their time too shine.

[@John-xk9gb]

🔥🔥

[@linkinkrap462]

I think everyone has heard all the classics millions of times.
Time for B sides.

[@tonyc9793]

Swerved the question about coming to the UK 🤷

[@Groovemyster]

Only just noticed his Pantera tattoo. Just earned a few more cool points

[@savvyisburning]

why arent people in the background suprised that there is vman sitting on a chair right in front of them

[@darkestpointofficial]

Probably because everyone expects Corey or Clown to be in the hot seat

[@ed_styles4218]

I mean, There was only like 8 people in the crowd

[@savvyisburning]

@@darkestpointofficial thats sad

[@bradleyrussell1973]

Id love to see him and Justin Chancellor in a bass duet!!!

[@VileSinner666]

The kit that Metallica used on the Black Album was used on WANYK?? No way...

[@darkpurplesky6660]

I didn't realize until this video that he has the cowboys from hell thing on his head just like Phil Anselmo 🤠💀

[@Feanor4]

Hope 1 day aov will retook its place again .
