We finally got around to reacting to Slipknot Devil in I. It was a Graphic video, but the lyrics had some merit.

0:48 Intro
2:02 Song
7:42 Music Discussion
10:37 Biblical Analysis
22:12 Outro
Corey Taylor explained the song's meaning to The Pulse of Radio: "'The Devil In I' is really about the war inside yourself," he said. "Trying not to give into defeatism, trying not to give into negativity, trying not to give up basically. It's a struggle. It's one of the hardest things you can do, is to give into that side of yourself." And that you can have fun. Crahan also explained at the song was about "finding past devils, past things, becoming one with it, and doing away with it."..
That's what I like about Corey. He is so articulate about history/scars. I like the song he did with Tech N9ne, as well.
The people mutilating a victim were having fun yes..this vid is evil..plain straight forward shock rockers..its sad for these reprobates..depicting the hell they r dambed for..r they redeemable i wonder
@@lenxbot777z5 The only irredeemable thing here is your grammar. Keep your judgements to yourself.
@@LojakZeRo sorry english teacher..but judging is what keeps kids from becoming hobbos and drug addicts so it is necessary..one doesnt fuel the fire through life but rather seek the holy spirit through Jesus to gain the holy water to put out that fire
@@lenxbot777z5 God if the only one who should pass judgement. you clearly need to do soul searching it depicts how he feels inside keep your opinion to yourself if it isn't a positive one😔
I cant get over this pastor. Hes actually willing to listen and review bands like slipknot and metallica.....and not judge.
I think a lot of younger pastors are less judgmental about things like music
Only God is the one true judge.
Generations of people willing to be more open. Good direction to be going
I can’t get over that people think it’s something special about a pastor listening to music. It’s 2021, and fear of music and artists are still alive. Very sad.
Well Metallica isn’t looked at as satanic by anyone other than Karens
Fun fact the director of the video: clown- asked each member what they’re afraid of dying from. Chris Fehn (long nose) was afraid of crows. He must have been so freaked out
So Craig is scared of dogs?
I’m pretty sure that was his dog. Also clown asked how they wanted to die. Chris chose crows because he is afraid of birds.
There's also symbolism in the killing of their old selves with their fears.
And Corey died from his head exploding since he “suffers from LSD... lead singers disease”
So... is Clown afraid of being hanged while in flames?
Fun fact: they were asked.
What death would you fear the most.
Each scene is just that, death by their biggest fears.
Thats really interesting
And when it came to clowns death he said that he would want it to be a mess for other people to clean up after himself. That's why he set himself on fire before hanging himself.
Also them killing themselves is a representation of them getting over the death of a band member and killing there old selves and becoming who they are now
Sid: My biggest fear is that I’ll eat myself.
@@Ballin4Vengeance it’s losing his fingers because he can’t play his role in the band
Well my pastor would have probably just started praying for me if I showed him this song
A lot of people don’t take the time to dig into the lyrics to really understand the message or how it came about. If they did, it wouldn’t make them afraid, it would make them compassionate.
My Pastor is also a Slipknot Fan now
@@henrikschreiner nice work Soldier
or the video for that matter, lmao
That’s sad that he didn’t give it a chance and to learn more about it. My pastor didn’t find God until he was 26 so I know he would love to learn more about this.
Nobody:
Gauge when Sid Wilson is eating himself: 🙂
And I would love to see y'all do "Wait and Bleed".
Their best song ever
SECOND that motion!
Duality though, feel like the lyrics could be worth discussing
Agreed
Do "Heretic Anthem" by Slipknot. It's funny how it's so misunderstood by people who don't actually listen to the lyrics.
Is it because of the 666 lol
@@xvor_tex8577 exactly 😂😂😂
YES PLEASE
please he cant even message me back about learning so i dont see him doing any song like that
Thanks for reminding me of this song, I haven't heard it for so long
As I get older and tired of elders and everyone in the church being so close minded to secular music, I LOVE this channel because they're open to it and respectful about it.
you guys are intelligent and open minded. I enjoy watching you guys decipher this through a biblical filter.
Of all the deaths shown, Mick's is the most poignant for me. He's well known for being the band member that takes his role in Slipknot the most seriously. His position in the band (#7) is important enough to him that he has it tattooed on his arm, and inlaid into his guitar fretboard. It's a part of who he is.
The director of the video asked each band member which death scared them, and that's how each member was killed in the video. When Mick removes his mask, it tears his face off as well, because it's become part of his being. I think it's symbolic of his biggest fear: not being part of that brotherhood anymore. He'd rather die than lose his band.
Unsainted was the other Slipknot you reviewed. Coincidentally neither song is by Tool nor called Parabol Porabola
Hahaha. soon my freind.
Darth Viper you win the subtle award for excellence. Seriously, this made me laugh more than most comments! Thank you for that.
Feckin' legend.
Now that was a super funny comment.
@@roberthoughton7127 When you do those, think Plato's Divided Line.
When Craig gets attacked by his dog-
Dogo- “WHY WONT YOU LET ME SNIFF THE BODIES IN THE BASEMENT!?!?!?!”
Craig-“We discussed this!”
"get your own bodies in the basement!"
"get off me dog, I'm trying to hide the bodies in the basement!"
Holy cow the imagery, good music, good lyric arrangement, interesting discussion. Great video.
Maybe he understands a lot of metal music comes from the heart and pain of its creators, hence why he gives it a chance
Considering you’re doing Slipknot, you should do "I'm not Jesus" by Corey Taylor and Apocalyptica.
I'm literally going to go listen to this song now. Lol
That's a heavy one! Very sad but fantastic....
This one! Apocalyptica is such a fantastic band to see live. And they're quick to restring mid-song when they shred too hard...
Excellent song!
Definitely should.....
A quote from Cory Taylor what the song is about. The Devil In I' is really about the war inside yourself," he said. "Trying not to give into defeatism, trying not to give into negativity, trying not to give up basically. It's a struggle. It's one of the hardest thing you can do, is to give in to that side of yourself."
Most maggots, me included, will tell you that we like their older stuff more. Specifically the first 2.
Personally I love all of it. Have been a fan since '99. But the first two albums will always hold a special place in my heart
I love the first 2 albums, but WANYK is my favorite overall.
I agree. I love all of it for different reasons, but self titled and Iowa hit different. We Are Not Your Kind was is a great album as well, reminds me of their older stuff a bit.
Every album will Paul and Joey I love. The others are decent
I think the reason that most people like Iowa and self-titled more than the others is because they are more raw and pure. All of their music is very emotionally powerful and intense, but those two albums in particular express those emotions much more powerfully than the others.
That being said, their newer music expresses those same emotions in a much more refined way. It represents the band’s slow catharsis that happened throughout its life.
June 29th 1999 Greatest day on earth. 🤘
Just putting this out there, this is when they changed all their masks. So in this video, it show them killing their old selves/mask and wearingg the new mask while they were playing and singing the song.
I love how you guys can find spiritual meaning behind these songs. Keep going down the Slipknot rabbit hole. This brings me back to my religious upbringing.
the funny part is the band specifically corey made a lot of songs that are outright anti christian much like nero forte
Thanks pastor Rob, for this channel... I just had the toughest year of my life. I've slipped in my faith, and I do love slipknot, as their songs have really helped me battle some deep dark depression. I love how you have helped tie the scripture into the meaning of the song... really inspiring. Gives me hope for a better day!
I love this video. If I had to describe slipknots newer music in one word I would have to say "redemption". Their game was definitely stepped up this album
Most of these way they "die" is there biggest fears, like Chris with the birds etc
Their *
2:28 I see your son is honing his musicianship! Very close, it's Drop A. Awesome review, awesome analysis as always. Keep it up guys.
In their older stuff, they all were suffering. That's why it was better. Most if them had major issues, and that pain translated into their songs.
You Say that yet this song came from the album dedicated to Paul Grey, a member of the band, which affected all of them just as hard
@@FranBattery95 Exactly man
@@FranBattery95 yeah I think he meant a different kind of suffering. The Gray Chapter was suffering in the loss of someone while their early albums they were suffering from the anger they had toward the world.
It's a good point of view. I remember reading years ago, an article on Deftones. The first 2 albums were written with a lot of pain. Moreno admitted that he had gotten rid of the pain through art/music in those albums
They ain’t suffering anymore, and they are happy now, that’s what matters. Their music is still good.
The graphic video was due to them getting new masks. They change their masks every so often and in the video, they killed off the old characters before debuting their new masks/personas. The gruesome deaths were tied to the band members' biggest fears.
Really enjoy your reaction videos guys! I am a full on metal head and have little to no religious beliefs, yet find your biblical take on these videos to be refreshing!! Keep up the great work
This was the first slipknot song I ever heard, about 6 months ago. Now they're one of my favorite bands and I love all their stuff.
This song is one of their best, imo. Nero Forte, AOV, Killpop, Devil In I, the dying song, Custer. All incredible.
This song holds a spot in my heart, i much appreciate the dive you presented in the lyrics. From 2018 to now im having a stressful life thats taken a toll on my health and my relationship with God and friends and family. I like that i changed from all the pain and sorrow but at the same time im sad that i changed but its because i was tired of feeling the way i felt. Like a doormat or a candle where you only need me when theres no light only to store me away again.. no appreciation. Im doing my best to take care.. Great review
What an amazing channel. All glory to the Lord Jesus Christ! I would love to know what y`all lovely folks think about our ministry and songs. It is a long time passion project. Walking for the lord. Much love and be blessed 🎶
Thank you Rob! 🙏
I can't believe it has been 2 years I think it was just a week or two after yall uploaded the all out life video that I discovered yall and I've been here ever since, I love the content I love yall and I know that even if I never meet yall on this earth, that I will know yall in Heaven with the Father. Love yah, my Brothers! Keep up the great work!
You guys r just amazing. Happy belated birthday gauge! Peace from Canada!
I swear slipknot, Korn, Nf, and Eminem helped me through stuff man, i will always support these bands or singers
Same! Also Escape the Fate, Simple Plan, and more.
Escape the Fate has some relatable songs and so does Simple Plan.
You guys gained a new subscriber. I’ve been agnostic most of my whole life. But to hear you guys have an OPEN mind and intelligently decipher this song psychologically then biblically was astounding. Dope!🤘🏽
Agnostic is cringe bro
Rob I can't tell you how much you've helped to overcome the trauma and blame I put on the church as a whole, still don't think I could walk back into one just yet but your a good man.
Thank you so much for this. It made my day. Briefly I'm a drummer and a metal head and a follower of Jesus saved by grace through faith. I play drums in church and with a band. I listen to Christian and secular music, so of course I love what you do. Love the way you see the bands and not just hear them, but you listen to them and perceive the very cries of their hearts. What an anointing!! Love y'all guys, I'll be following now so carry on brothers. Blessed are the cracked for they let in the light🙏😄
*gets grossed out by the video*
Me: oh boy, just wait until they watch a Cannibal Corpse video.
😅😅😅😅
If anyone has a few demons it’s Corey Taylor. He’s had such an incredible life - not just his success but being able to survive a very difficult upbringing and teenage years
YES!!! Another song I loved that I genuinely want to hear yous guy's input on.
You are a smart man!!! You hit that video right on the head!! You explained that perfect!!! Great reaction!!! ❤❤❤
From what I've read as well as what i percieve from it as well as the entire Grey Chapter album is moving on in life. You've grieved and mourned the loss but you have to let it go at some point or else it can consume you. I've lost alot of loved ones but none crippled me like the loss of my mom did. I had an unstable relationship with her and near the end it was almost non existent. She had alchohol and substance abbuse issues that i just couldn't deal with anymore. Before she died, my last words to her were not kind. Up until a couple of years ago, there were years of anger, guilt, pain, and confusion that i had refused to confront. If you don't bring those emotions out and confront them and lay them to rest, they can begin to alter your personality and your very being. Life is too short to be carrying such a burden.
I think he’s right on in his assessment. I like this song. So much talent.
This has to be one of the greatest Metal songs of all time! This song has incredible meaning!
This reaction is probably my favorite one from you guys...going through a rough patch in life with my better half, the passage from Corinthians hit hard on a personal level and made me look at things from another prospective, you guys rock and keep up the good work
As a believer who’s also a huge fan of slipknot, The Devil in I was actually the song that got me really into the band! But as I’ve discovered more and more of their discog I’ve come to prefer their older stuff. Still like their newer, but I prefer their older sound.
Love the channel! Been praying for you all and praise God for what y’all are doing!
This song helped me alot when I was facing my own demons! Grateful!
Y'all are gems. Kudos to you on taking on pieces of culture that many would not be willing to do.
That moment when he said "Gee Whiz" 😂😂😂 Love these guys!
The singer Corey pretty much said Slipknot is basically all the bands anger, hurts, fears, and struggles they've gone thru or continue to battle into music. While his other band Stone Sour is the lighter happier side off him.
Ive been a fan since high school. This song is the only one I still listen to now that Im older. It helped me through some difficult times after an abusive relationship. I really had to look into myself to get past it. Devil in I will stay in my rotation always. The video is a bit much but the lyrics and message are what I focus on.
Saw the headlines and knew i had to sub. You rock
The look of sheer terror on Pastors face and the look of joy on the sons face shows the difference in generations. This song, for me, is one of there top 5 songs all time.
You guys deserve a lot more viewers. I really appreciate the structure with thoughts and analysis put into every song, it makes for very entertaining content. Best reaction channel I've come across. Hoping to see more metal down the line from you two boys.
And since you are big on the biblical themes, I have a suggestion for you that I believe you will enjoy. I will not write too much here, but this song has A LOT of meat on its bones for you to pick at and analyze both in terms of its lyrics and musical composition. Please consider: Ne Obliviscaris - The Plague Flowers the Kaleidoscope.
(Some prior research about the song is highly recomended).
Greetings from a norwegian heathen. Keep it up.
That is for the kind words and the suggestions. ❤️🙏
Nero Forte, it's got a great beat, lyrics, rhythm, it's great all around. And I absolutely love the meaning behind the actual song. I'd like to see/hear your interpretation of it.
I find your analysis of this song very interesting! I really enjoyed this video and am now subscribed!
You guys are awesome, love the videos and the thoughts on them and the meaning behind them, while tying to biblical truths.
Nothing hits like the hunger and anger behind the first 2 cds (slipknot and Iowa). Their best work by far.
Rob's expression in this one is priceless , haha
“Milk Jug” is a great description of that era of Corey’s mask! Loved the discussion!
Fantastic as always!!!! 🤗❤✌
you pretty much hit it spot on, that was the meaning according to the band
Heyyy hope y'all are doing great! Now I'm going to listen and then comment again. Oh yeah it's my birthday so great "gift!"
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
@@roberthoughton7127 thank you sir! It's the 15th anniversary of my 21st birthday. 😅
It was my brothers birthday two days ago and my birthday yesterday! His 36th and my 32nd! Happy birthday!
Happy birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊
@@weaver909 happy birthday to y'all!
Burying your past and trying to forget it will only lead you to repeating the same mistakes, not to mention the stress, anger and depression it can create.
It is not good to obsess about your past or to dwell in it, but it is essential to acknowledge it and learn from it in order to move forward.
I've used this scripture so many times. I'm so glad it can be brought up in a slipknot video. I'm not by any means as close as I need to be to the Lord, and I try to be as knowledgeable as I can of the Bible. I've been back and forth with my relationship with God, and I do believe, bit I don't wanna feel like a hypocrite because I don't live every day like I should. And you so perfectly brought this up towards the end of the video. THANK YOU.
Always love watching your reactions particularly when it's from my favourite band! Take care (ps the 3rd reaction was unsainted Rob, you were right)
This is from Corey Taylor: Corey Taylor explained the song's meaning to The Pulse of Radio: "'The Devil In I' is really about the war inside yourself," he said. "Trying not to give into defeatism, trying not to give into negativity, trying not to give up basically. It's a struggle. It's one of the hardest things you can do, is to give into that side of yourself." And that you can have fun. Crahan also explained that the song was about "finding past devils, past things, becoming one with it, and doing away with it."..
I also read it was about shedding their former selves and the birth of a new beginning hence why their older masks and costumes were being killed off in wake of the birth of their new selves. So you were pretty spot on with you analysis Rob! Great stuff. I'm not a religious man but I really enjoy hearing your analysis on songs afterwards, you have a great understanding about psychology, all the teirs of human emotion and thanks to your channel I've been able to see the correlation between verses from the bible and almost every emotion people can go through and I can completely see how reading the bible would help people find themselves and heal. I never thought I would find such an interest in this but you're so well grounded between your relation with your beliefs and understanding of people it's hard not to appreciate and enjoy your work. Thanks again.
React to nightmare by Avenged sevenfold
Some people say it's satanic when they first listen to it but they gotta know the context of the album to understand the song
Beast and the harlot too
@@atekyl1266 yes,it contains some biblical lyrical content
I love Nightmare so much. My brother first played it for me and I was hooked
Every thing about a7x is biblical, performers names , even the damn band name... get a clue man
Also Five Finger Death Punch.
“Welcome To the Circus” and “No One Gets Left Behind”
love your reactions guys
As someone who suffers from repressed childhood trauma, PTSD, depression, and anxiety it all VERY much impacts you and the point of unpacking it all is to identify why you feel certain ways in reaction to other seemingly normal things (like someone wanting to help you but you lash out instead of accepting help due to learned behavior to be self sufficient), or why you have toxic behavior or have intrusive thoughts or can't control certain impulses. Once you have a clear picture of where it comes from you can learn healthy coping mechanisms and rebuild how your brain thinks. If these things go on for a long time, especially during adolescence, it impacts the development of your brain. Obviously we're all unique and react and handle these things differently due to our genetic makeup and specific experiences etc.
Heeeey guys, you should consider doing a song of as i lay dying (my own grave)! One of the best metal core bands ever
In the video, they were killing off the old versions of themselves from the previous album. (Corey is sitting at the table wearing the "All Hope is Gone" mask)
The two members brought in with wheelchairs and stabbed were the new band members. Welcoming them to the family I guess lol
I'll always love that video because of how it could be interpreted in so many ways
you really get the point of the song, i´m glad about you and the point it still exist pastor like you, new sub, love
9:20 I’m a huge slipknot fan. Even if it’s not that heavy, it’s still probably my 3rd favorite song from them. Def top 5
React to Say you'll haunt me by Stone Sour
Thats such a good song..
I actually found out about this song with my older sister Meghan. She's no longer here, but we were driving around listening to our favorite hometown radio station. This song came on, we pulled over and were like us that Corey Taylors voice. And that's how I learned about the new album at the time. It will always be special to me because of that.
Great job guys!
My favorites personally are sulfur, psychosocial, duality, and the devil in I besides some of their old ones that were really good such as snuff and those are personally my favorite ones
Cool. For me, my favorites by them are “Before I Forget,” “Duality,” “Sic,” “Psychological,” “The Devil In I,” “My Plague,” and “Wait and Bleed.”
Also check out "Demolisher" by Slaughter to Prevail
That song is banana’s. I love it
I was just about to comment about that song, glad someone agrees
@@alexanderbrewer4201 yeah, I like the Kardavox reaction to it. He just walks away lol
Alex has one of a kind voice that's forsure
@@jayzisa he's the god of sounding like the devil lol
It's been a minute since I've watch these videos and yall still as good as last time
Thanks for checking back in with us. 😊
Great reaction, as always. Blessings...
What I really want to know is, if and when Guage is dropping that single?
Allegaeon “Gray Matter Mechanics “
Allegaeon “Proponent for Sentience III “
This is one of my favorite songs by them it was about getting past life because it ain't easy for everyone this was one of the first songs after the great friends "brother" pual gray passed and every song by them has a story why I love them for example left behind was about Corey taylor being homeless
In the song devil in I it came from the album number five the gray chapter which deals with pain in the loss of a former band member Paul Gray each of those deaths that you see in the video is how each band member has the phobia of dying
Great reaction video! Strong song..had no idea how graphic it would be. I get the reference to facing phobias and the dark side. Appreciate the Biblical lens. I dare you to dive into Behemoth. It is the antithesis to the Biblical view.
I would love to see you guys react to his therapy session!
It's amazing how well you translate these songs.
This song was also the first single to go out after loosing their former bassist and friend, all the deads in tbe video are there masks from the previous album. So it marks the passage from hard past to new future while fighting with your inner demons.
Check out Behemoth “Ora Pro Nobus Lucifer” or “Bartzabel”.
I think it’d be really interesting to see you guys react to some Behemoth.
3 video's in and a sub thank you for these!
Thanks for the sub!!! 🙏
love the breakdown of the video!
Do ‘agony’ or ‘demolished’ by slaughter to prevail!! I need to see y’all react to Alex Terrible 😂
Colossians 3:1-17 we were created by God, for God to bring Him pleasure and glory. Not for ourselves, entertainment is the complete opposite of God’s purpose for humanity - it’s simply a creation of man, for man - to bring man pleasure and glory.
Reread and meditate on the Word.
To truly understand what is going on you must listen to the entirety of this album start to finish. The album was dedicated to the former bassist Paul Gray who overdosed. This album got me through the hardest time of my life. It is all about the grieving process and it helped me get passed the death of my grandfather who was more like a father to me than my own father. This album is a 10/10 recommendation for someone who has lost someone.
Having been a big Slipknot fan (my picture is from them actully) and I was pretty surirpsed by the content in this music video when I saw it for the first time and now I love it, one thing I really liked about it was that they introduced the new drummer and bassist.
Y'all should react to "A conversation with God" by the band King810. It'll be interesting to see you break down the words by David Gunn
Oh yeah that would be awesome to watch
That's a local band surprised to see that recommended here.
@@thepassionateginger6236 I saw them when they toured with Slipknot and Korn back in 2015. Instantly dug their sound. I think they're one of the most interesting bands out there
I recommend viewing “Heresy” by Nine Inch Nails
Love your show keep up the great work
If your wondering when this was made this was a 2016 album I think is when the single came out but it was in the gray chapter and that was in 3014
