The intro guitar is exquisite omfg
it's sexy

Josh Morris TOO BAD WE MUST ALWAYS LEAVE IT
It definitely gets me ready for anything

I wouldn't say this version of Gently is better than the Iowa version or vice versa. Both versions of the song are unique and beautifully malevolent in their own way.
Karim Babir agrred
But which one do you like better
Chris C this one
This one is more dark and sad, Iowa's one seems more angry. I think they're both brilliant, but the whole of MFKR seems like the lead singer is caving in under the weight of his own despair, while IOWA does the opposite, having the lead snap and project all of his anger onto an uncaring world.
Both are amazing. It seems like this one sounds more like depression, where the Iowa version sounds more angry. They suit their individual albums.
As soon as Anders starts screaming it reminds me so much of pantera's singer, phil's style
Corey has more range vocally, but I personally think Anders has the edge for straight brutal.
Yeah its true , im thinking the same thing
Yes. Phil Swift, vocalist for pantera
i always got max cavalera vibes from his harsh vocals
@@savielflores678 Hi it's Phil Swift here from Pantera
Both versions are sic
Ryuk Senpai ikr
Ryuk Senpai there are 4 version...
Alex Tudor I don’t think there are 4 versions
Tino The Kid Basement Session
M.F.K.R.
Crowz
Iowa
Alex Tudor huh kewl
I wish the Iowa version kept the acoustic intro
i like the intro a lot...but it really doesn't fit on iowa.
Nah, Iowa's was better, had a better sense of grandiosity, which I think fits the lyrics of the song better. But it is all just opinion, despite what a lot of the hipsters on here will say.
Brain Adams for Gods sake, both versions are better than the other, and worse than the other, in different regards
Wouldn't of worked on the album, plus doesn't really fit with the tone of the song
Alfred Garcia wouldn’t work for the album, I give you that
The intro guitar sounds beautiful and that is an under statement
Agreed.
Hernan Cortes i also love the punchy sound of the drums
This "demo" sounds 10x better than most new metal albums.
Fr. Long live the knot
It is heavily based on mr bungle.
Check that out btw
@@Andrlz_ I think it was also inspired by Korn, cus the first Korn demo record came out by the time Slipknot was making MFKR.
@@itsmarble799 Maybe, but i don't see the similarities stacking nor the probability of them even knowing what korn was at that point
Scratch that, I meant the first Korn Album. Not the demo.
imagine if they had two vocalists, both Anders and Corey
the crowz demo was that,and it was gonna be like that but Anders didn't like being back up so he quit
Imagine mushroomhead
Augusto Vitor
Basically
kapoios. gr I don't know why Anders didn't just do background vocals like Chris and clown. if one of them retires, which will be sad if it happens, they should pick him. him and Corey together would be sweet. Corey doing lead, and Anders background. one can dream.
Noor That would take away from Corey's ability to shine, I think. And would be a little too mushroomheady!
Wow.. almost two decades after this was one of my favorite songs to play on guitar, I come to youtube and find that many people out there are still discovering it today. Back then Donnie Steele was giving me guitar lessons. The guy is the most humble man you'll ever meet. When I started taking lessons he never mentioned a thing about having been in Slipknot. I didn't know he was in it until one day I read the credits section of a website dedicated to the MFKR album. I remember asking him about it ("Were you in Slipknot?") and I'll never forget how much it was not a big deal to him -- he basically said, "Yes. Did you practice your scales?" I begged him for weeks to teach me this song. I always told him how great it was, and he would counter with, "if you think THAT'S great, check out this Black Sabbath/Pantera/Megadeth song I brought to teach you." He genuinely regarded this song as no big deal, though I always thought of it (and still do think of it) as a masterpiece. He eventually did teach it to me and I have his handwritten guitar tabs somewhere. But he never acted like it was a big deal that he wrote it, and was more interested in his current music with Killpact, etc. All of the people here saying they hear "Metallica", you are correct. They were a big influence on Donnie's music. He was/is a traditional "metal" guitarist, through and through. Years ago, long after I stopped taking lessons and moved away, I needed a musician for my wedding and looked up Donnie on Google.. only to find that he had stepped in to play bass for Slipknot. I figured he probably didn't have time for something like wedding duty. Lol. However I can guarantee you if I would have contacted him, he would have done it with pleasure -- one of the best guys you'll ever meet. Loved Mountain Dew, his Jeep Cherokee, and his family. If I forgot to give him his $10 for the week, no big deal -- "hit me next week" he would always say. Donnie could make any guitar sound beautiful but I'd bet if you asked him for a suggestion, he'd tell you to pick up an Ibanez. If I saw Donnie today somewhere, I can promise you the first thing he'd ask me is, "have you been practicing your scales?" Donnie if you are out there buddy I just want to say I'm proud of you and hope all is well. You used to tell me I played guitar like Marty Friedman which is hilarious because I'd consider myself more of a Robert Wilson.
Sam White sounds like a great guy. Love Ibanez too.
thats a fuckin awesome story man!!!! ya lucky fuck you
Lovely story. I wonder where Anders is now
@@soundwave710 Thats a question. Love the story about Donnie.
not readin all that wtf
4:39 THIS SPOON IS INCREDIBLE!!
Lel
IT'S OUT OF THIS WORLD
CyShell HAHA WTF LMAO
P.S : incredible song
XD
maybe Tommy Wiseau wrote that line
Anders in the guturals and Corey in melodic and screams, imagine that.
sounds great
Yes please
That would be incredible, but it ain't happening anytime soon.
Anders' gutturals were great. He was not playing around with those.
Pretty sure there's a whole album on the internet is called "Crowz", I think it's on UA-cam
The guitar and drum sound reminds me so much of Justice by Metallica.
trisawlit doesn’t it?
FEEL THE SAME
YES!
Crazy enough, none of the guys who recorded this album are still in Slipknot, except Clown. The fact that Joey is on the cover definitely cements this as a relic demo. Never forgotten, MFKR.
Just clown now:(
It hit's hard..😔1️⃣💔🥁
I'm pretty sure Mick and Craig recorded the album as well
@@dude6658 mick and craig had credits for it on the cd (i think) and online but never recorded anything for it
@@dude6658They did not. Donnie Steele and Josh Brainard.
This song is insane, sounds like prog metal with the addition of groove vocals
Almeida yeah i heard this since 2001
Wtf
#bitxhsl@p
@@ajewwithaview4311 Actually, this version is from 1996.
@@jamesvinson3998 they said they’ve been listening to it since 2001
Anders needs to guest on Slipknot, his scream and Corey's melody kick ass.
Yep
I prefer corey in all the ways
growls. And no. There is a reason Slipknot is successful now and struggled back then. Corey and Jim Root saved the band. Anders was good but it sounded a lot like a Pantera cover band ( Maybe that is why some people love Anders his vocals more). But Corey gave Slipknot a new sound that no one heard at that time. Say what you want about Corey Taylor but he brought energy to the band. Again not saying Anders sucks (In fact I would trade most of the emo core bullshit for someone with his talent). He just didn't do anything big with the band. Tbh they wouldn't even be making music if it weren't for the right moves they made by getting a new vocalist.
@@billymason3698 agreed
@@billymason3698 Corey actually wished Anders was still in to back up vocals after firing Chris.
Verse 1 (Anders)
Gently, my mind escapes into the relaxing mode of pleasure
A pleasure that will take my mind off of the realities of my life
My past life. Life as I know it now
And whatever may come, it slowly disappears
To somewhere in the back of my mind - it will remain there 'til I wish to retrieve it
[Verse 2] (Anders)
Yes, I will stay here for awhile, for I need the break
A break from the pressures of life
And everything that lay in the palm of life's hands
Life's hands
This mode is incredible. It's out of this world
Too bad I must always leave it. Oh, but that's life. (That's life.)
[Outro] (Anders And Clown)
That's life. (That's life.)
That's life. (That's life.)
That's life. (That's life.)

Didn't read the Lyrics before. Deep. Describes being high on LSD or something. He who ever had tried LSD will understand. Great Lyrics. True. But Drugs are no good. Not funny.
@@edwinvelezudeagmail the lyrics are actually about a table top RPG called Werewolf: The Apocalypse. A lot of the lyrics off this are based on it.
As a long time Slipknot fan, I think this version of Gently is much better than the Iowa version. This entire album takes you back to a different time, even today. The contrast is incredible and you can tell the sound is original, you can tell its this sweet riff one of them made up and they all jammed to and made an epic song out of.
Agreed
+TrashMetal26
MFKR as a whole is something to be, through listening, examined at the very least, and marvelled at best. It takes elements of genres and fuses them in a way I don't think I've heard any band do. That's not to say they aren't out there, but I've not come across them.
in comparison, this song has a nice intro because of the guitar as compared to Iowa is more of a bass
Then help me clear the air Mushroomhead was first not tryin to hate promise
+Josh Death metal fiend slipknot formed in 92 originally i believe mh was 95
everytime i hear this... i so appreciate anders for having the influence that he did in slipknot and painface and he's completely underrated
same
The atmosphere of this song is incredible. Its out of this world.
It really puts you in a relaxing mode of pleasure before it drags you outta that state of comfort with the harder hitting parts of the track.
The Iowa version might be more cerebral visceral, but its got nothing on the MFKR version for how well it sells its concept, especially with Anders on vocals and Donnie Steele's guitar work.
Hehe, mode of pleasure..
Iowa had that bone-chilling tone and pitch changes that made it sorta.. Float along. This was more of a raw and straightforward vocal approach but still had perfect tones
It’s about to be 2020 and this is still the best version of GENTLY
it's 2021 and this is still the best version of GENTLY
Nice
Idk man if it had Corey Taylor vocals it would be a absolute bop
@@lolik6277 ua-cam.com/video/T_BryvZGMRU/v-deo.html
Corey Taylor on an early demo (with this version of gently) without the clean guitar intro, but yeah, it's really cool
Lmao no, it never was
Corey sings better in the Iowa version but the instrumental in this version is amazing!
Austin Kocsis except this isn't Corey this is there old singer
@lucas klemp except if you read his comment, he is aware of that.
Bill Lmao he said that he likes Coey's vocals better. That's not being unaware of this being Anders.
Austin Kocsis this isn’t Corey, Corey wasn’t in the band yet the singer in this song was Andrew Collins
Austin Kocsis I like this version better
Man, I can't believe I'm actually going to see Anders Colsefni perform this album IN FULL tomorrow night in Melbourne. Unprecedented gig!
How was it?
Definitely should have kept that intro. It sounded amazing I have no clue why they didn't keep it.
@Gunner White I feel like if Mick and Paul played it on electric guitar and bass it could work
Joey was just a menace on drums, Jesus christ rest in power joey
Rest in piece Joey Jordison you fuckin slammed all the way till the end
Honestly I prefer this version than the iowa version. I feel like this version has alot more feeling than the version in Iowa, but maybe thats just me
+nicolas tilkin i fucking hate the Iowa Version. this version on the other hand is fucking great.
+nicolas tilkin Agreed. I love this.
Both are amazing tbh man.
fuck, joeys drumming on this is amazing. goddamn what a talent. that snare is a fucking eargasm. two fuckin horns up! great upload!
he played a 90's electric drum kit,not the best sounding kit by todyas standards, but he makes it sound good because he is tight.
YRUACNT thats so blatantly an acoustic kit
the only song off of MFKR with 1 million views
Do nothing/bitchslap has 1 million now
the guitar tone on this album is so much heavier than any of the later albums it's not even close, anyone else agree?
completely
Seems more raw, less digitally processed than the Iowa version, perhaps. Both are great, but this one feels more “real.”
Nah I think its just a different sound. The guitar tone for everything Slipknot has done sounds great. This is a more beefy sound compared to the others which have more of a skronky sound. All the albums sound different but you can still tell that its Slipknot. Thats what is a big part that makes them amazing.
intro reminds me of metallica
Same
+sgtzero1337 Absolutely same here :D I'm glad I'm not the only one :)
+Daniel Antoni It starts out as metallica then slowly goes into obituary kinda stuff
+sgtzero1337 My thoughts exactly
+sgtzero1337 Definitely starts as metallica based but then i feel it takes on a more pantera vibe
As a slipknot fan I must admit that the intro is one of my personal favorites because it's so badass. 👌
Came back here to listen so I could pay respects to Joey, and remember where it all began. RIP Joey Jordison 💔
That intro is so beautiful yet simple, it's hard to imagine that it was written by such a heavy band, awesome.
Muito boa mesmo majestade !
2023 still listening \m/
Dark, heavy, good tune... My fav song on M.F.K.R
The talent it took to take this and change it to the Iowa version was amazing.
Let's be honest here. No matter what you style this song is an absolute hit. It's been in my top 10 for almost 20 yrs. Ain't nothing is gonna bump it.
loved this album. my favorite one from them, hands down.
You're right
Crazy how something so heavy can be so soothing.
Favourite Slipknot track !
We can sit here and argue which version is better until the cows come home, what we really should appreciate is that we have both versions. I would have loved to hear Corey’s vocals on this instrumental, that would straight up be godly.
3:50 and onwards has got to be my favorite part, personally. Yes, I do love the whole song...but for me that part is awesome. I love Anders' vocals and growls on this. Love that thick and heavy guitar too with the percussion. Brutal.
I still like Coreys version better. Just the raw emotion of his screams is incredible. He conveys so many emotions without even using any words. That said, this is pretty great too.
kkkkkkkk
This one is more darker the. Iowa
The guitar tone on this is pretty fucking sweet, and I like how the drums are more in the background. The production as a whole really is perfectly matched to the band's sound.
I LOVE the drum sound on this album
Personally, I prefer the drums from the "Crowz" era (silver disc) but the guitar tone is so crushing in this one.
if they cleaned up the guitar about 50% between MFKR and IOWA as well as the vocals and kept the acoustic in the beginning, it would have probably made a larger impact in slipknots history
Gave me a great idea my friend, definetly going to do a custom mix of that. Thank you! 🤘
@@HiddenH377Valley got a few ... 7 or 8 guitars if you need any sound clips
@@ToxicVortex8 that'd be cool bro! It would help me a lot
so glad to hear this version live finally
Been coming back to this video for years. Glad to see it’s still here.
Masterpiece
It's been a long time since I heard this...Now this is Classical metal to me ;)
Probably the most true to slipknots tribal theme . Love this song
This is better then the one on iowa but both are sic af
True
best slipknot song
corey’s voice on this version would be perfect
I think the most beautiful part is 0:53-1:20 but the rest is still a masterpiece!!!!
Still rocking to this today baby. Can't get enough.
i love the intro.
Anders was fucking great but he sucked at the melodics parts, he was heavier than Corey but Corey has something special.
I don't know if id call it 'heavier' per se. I think Anders had a better growl, but Corey's scream had a much better feel to it. More emotion.
+I made you read this. I found out that Anders' vocals can be easily replaced by someone else, but Corey's screams are totally unique.
you need to go on sound cloud and listen to some of his vice grip throttle demos and listen to hellgrammites by painface and his tribute song to Paul gray his melodies are amazing
+Jakaś Nazwa yes, that's why they replaced Anders, well one of two reason. The other being that he wasn't radio friendly. When they found Corey they found someone who can scream just as hard but also had a unique voice.
Monky Well, seems like Slipknot kinda trolled music label because Corey's voice wasn't really radio-friendly in 2 first albums.
This is the Slipknot I felt in love with! Much darker...
+The Blank Iowa is pretty dark and fucked up too. But then again Anders gave the songs a more darker feel.
+Headbutt things! Yay your right :/
Love this fuckin version!
This mode is incredible!
I hate it that we're accused of being hipster for prefering this over Iowa. Honestly, this is really good and original, far more abbrasive than what slipknot are now and that's probably why it's hated. I like a lot of later slipknot but this is one where I think they did a better job.
I like some elements of later Slipknot, but this album is still pretty great.
I like both versions of gently
After the third album they are just meeeh
hipster
"You're the proto-hipster!" --Michael De Santa
Song deserves more recognition even better than the one on iowa
True
Yep
Hell yeah
There's parts on each that I like better than the other but this one is definitely my favorite
Lol wow I guess it doesn't take much to impress you.
12 years since the release and this song is still awesome
26 years since it got released and its even better. Aged like fine wine.
Yes
the whole song has a modern metal sound to it but the beginning reminds me of Metallica but when he starts singing he almost sounds like Godsmack but when he starts screaming his screen almost reminds me of Pantera it's so goddamn amazing I'm almost surprised that they remade it because that sounds so God damn amazing I love it
Fuck yeah Slipknot! Still my favorite album, this or the self entitled
The Intro is Wonderful !
Ive been just about the biggest,craziest slipknot fan since they appeared on ozzfest. I love this "rough draft"of gently. Fkn awesome!
Rest In Peace Joey 💔
master piece... my favourite song since its release....such a melody to my ears.
Thank you for this song. I've heard it for a very long time. It's saved my life countless times.
RIP Joey 🖤
My fav song from this album.
Amazing intro🤘🤘🤘🤘
Its a sexy intro
This album over all showcased Paul in an amazing way! RIP Paul❤️
I first heard MFKR in... 2004. Well after Iowa came out. I didn't care for this song when I first heard it on Iowa. Liked it much better after hearing the MFKR version. And as I've grown, the song has grown on me.
os BR que me entendam,essa é a melhor musica do (MFKR)
Concordo
Que intro dessa guitar, que delicia de música parece com albúm do sepultura Morbid Visions.
@@francis-br.7544 Uma provável influência do Sarcófago também
RIP JOEY
I need more musics, just like that
most beautiful guitar ever
this song is like a mix of three different bands in the one holy hell I love it
Beautiful...
I would love if Slipknot were an Anders/Corey teamup. Really wish Anders stayed but I understand him not wanting to be backup.
they wanted him to play percussion also people were saying slipknot is satanic and Anders was Christian so he didn't want that and left then started a band called Painface
@@ten7hArts not at all you're thinking about a different member Anders explains why he's out of the band in his ask Anders
Well he left the band because of his religious beliefs
No offense to him, but I don't see why he's great. I can't do any better, obviously, but his vocals are meh. Corey's vocals, though, those are good.
@@june-vz4rm MFKR doesn't really showcase Anders' vocals well, but Crowz (Carve, specifically) and his work in the band Painface (Ash Wednesday has some amazing vocals in it) really showcase his talent
Most clever song ever made this is currently my favorite song
Rest easy Joey
Anders Colsefini has powerful voice
Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat is by FAR the best slipknot album for me. MIllions of times better than any other
Even S/T or IOWA? lol
dude both versions of this song are unbelievably amazing. and that is a titanic understatement
3:28 the purest metal scream ever. Nobody can replace this scream.
Metabolic
This is my favorite Slipknot song...
R.i.p Joey Jordison
its honestly really beautiful
the hole song is absolutely perfect!!
musically i like this better, vocally i like iowa better. just because of how insane corey is on iowa!
I like both versions. Probably the Iowa version more solely on the fact my personal taste is more "Psychotic", sounding, but I don't see any point and having world war 3 over people who prefer another version? I mean after all it's still slipknot m as they were good. It's not like everyone who prefers the Iowa version is into all the rubbish modern chart music? So why don't we show some respect for other people's tastes?
THIS BUN IS INCREDIBLE
I didn't even know this exsisted... I am officially mesmerized
wow this is a masterpiece🤘🏼🖤
This version is better than Iowa one. This version is more enthusiastic and dancing. I love that.
Insane masterpiece
This is my favorite Slipknot song.
