Is Slipknot just "scary boy music"? The answer surprised me. Join me- a professional opera singer as I listen to Slipknot for the first time performing "Snuff".

Give the acoustic version of this song a watch, you can feel the pain and hurt
Agree, think the acoustic performance in London from 2016 is on Corey Taylor's UA-cam channel
Came to say this.. live version is painful
i second this.
Indeed
2:49 The moment she realizes that boys also listens to emotional songs :D
:*******)))))
não segurou as lágrimas por um minuto kkkkk
I’m just going through a lot right now so I’ll Let you s2x
Yep just has to be done right, with more solemn than anythinf
This is really a Corey Taylor song that his band helped him with. In order to understand this song and all it is, you need to watch the live acoustic version. Look for “Corey Taylor - Snuff (Acoustic) “
Paul I believe wrote the chord progression
@@spinxz_314 my point was that it is Corey’s pain to tell. Sorry I was not 100% detailed
@@verdonix1976 oh no I wasn't being one of those guys. I should have put a question mark on it. I couldn't remember who wrote it.
@verdonix1976 um, actually🤓 you are right in that it was Corey's song since it was about his ex wife. However, the meaning of the song changed after Paul passed. The original pain of the song (the studio recording and video) is different than the live version.
And the "Making Of". Je'sus, I remember when this came out and the pain he brought to this track was too much and he broke while filming
Well...people not usualy starts on Slipknot with Snuff, but that's a forever classic...and I'm emotional now, what a surprise xD
The love acoustic version will make your heart melt😢🤘💕
live version hits you so hard yeah
This is like the calmest Slipknot song
And the heaviest
@@karenlandon5332 maybe emotionally, but this is definitely one of the “lighter” slipknot songs everything else-wise
vermillion pt.1 is fun.
Vermillion pt2
They are scary boy music you just picked their safe song.
This one has a lot of meaning to the group 😢
They have a few safe songs in their repertoire. Part of the reason I transitioned into this band and into metal in general.
Ok, yes, but circle as well.
You should check out Psychosocial next
Is this a "safe" song? This is one of their heaviest songs, if you ask me.
Man, just thinking of the live acoustic version gets me choked up. Especially once it was re-contextualised by Corey after Paul's passing.
One of the best Slipknot songs... one of the least "Slipknot" song. go for Before I Forget, or Wait and Bleed, or Duality for SLIPKNOT
Before I Forget is one of my favorites. Mainly for the tempo change and great vocals toward the end.
Agree, I always recommend Before I forget or Duality as perfect into-to-slipknot songs
Spit it out live at download
@@tommystatic nah. It's an entertaining vid and the crowd reaction is awesome, but for a non metalhead and for music/vocal analysis it's a bad choice
Disasterpiece lol
This song always hits me hard.
It is definitely different than most slipknot I have heard, as it does tend to be more what you refer to as "scary boy music"
The song is about an unrequited love, it is full of regret because he believes he drove her away by confessing his love to her. The video is about his obsession with her and inability to let her go after they split. If he becomes her, he never has to let her go. The story goes that Paul heard Corey working on the song by himself and he was really self-conscious about it but Paul convinced him to keep working on it. Then one day when Corey was particularly down Paul (bass), Jim (lead guitar) and Joey(drums) surprised him with some preliminary instrumentals to go along with it and it became a collaborative effort that the band had not experienced before. I will save the rest of the story for when you react to the Live acoustic version that the comments will no doubt beg you to react to. By the way... there are NINE members in Slipknot at this time and Snuff is their most popular of the slower, emotional songs but you are right. It is not their typical sound. This video was directed by Shawn (lead percussion) featuring cameos from Malcolm McDowell and Ashley Laurence.
I didn't know this had a video, and I would've NEVER guessed fucking Malcolm McDowell would be in it lol. He's a fucking legend. A Clockwork Orange is a masterpiece
The fact he cameod 🤯
In my opinion Snuff one of the best Slipknot songs. Please react to another great Slipknot song - Vermilion PT. 2
I never know for a fact which one I love the most, if snuff or vermillion pt2
I’m sure you’re going to hear it from lots of people, but you should check out his acoustic live version. Gets me every time. So much emotion😢 Would love to hear you do Shinedown. I guarantee you won’t be disappointed with Brent Smith’s vocals. One of the most under rated vocalist in rock today, IMO.
"Duality" - it will be what you are expecting and it's awesome.
There definitely is scary boy imagery in Slipknots usual presentation and most of their music is much harder but, for the most part, their music deals with real issues (mental health, social injustices, feelings of isolation, protesting against mediocrity etc…). They’re a really genuinely great band. If you want a gradual bridge into their heavier stuff Yen, Vermilion parts 1 & 2 and Dead Memories are all tracks that ease ya into the heavy lol.
Cristina, your next step of Slipknot is to watch their masterclass of crowd control. Please react to "Spit it Out", Live at Download 2009! The performance is mindblowing.
The way the hype the crowd for that song is magical. I’ve experienced it twice now and magical both times.
Corey Taylor has an amazing voice. Snuff is a great tune and holds a lot of emotion. Now that you've heard their tamest song, go check out Custer, and Psychosocial. Then you'll get to experience the "angry boy music" you were expecting.
I know Psychosocial is really commercial compared to most of their other heavy songs. But it’s still one of my faves.
try Eeyore or People=Shi* instead
@@jimroot_04 i know them both :)
Brilliant as always! Music is magic which just keeps giving. Keep on keeping on!
I just found you through the algorithm! Holy moly, I enjoyed this so much. Snuff is my favorite song. It got me through hard times and I have the first few lines tattooed on my wrist. I really love the fact that you teach us so much about the musical composition of the song and point out every individual thing. I'm not musically inclined at all but my baby brother is and he's talked to me about isolating a certain instrument, etc in a song and I have such a hard time doing it but I easily followed along with you! Thank you for the lesson!! Definitely subbing. :D
welcome back!
The band refer to this song as “Corey’s masterpiece”.
Like nothing else they’ve recorded, not even on the album it was on.
But obviously powerful enough that they had to include it.
This song makes me cry every freaking time I hear it, even when I hear it reacted to. This song mirrors an experience in my life so personal and devestating I doubt I will ever be the same.
Even though this song ends with the hope of moving on it still brings me right back to that relationship i thought would last my entire life.
My first time stopping by. Its uphill from here, the emotion hits me on this one. You owe it to yourself to watch the acustic version to break down the message. Much love, looking forward to the next one!
As others have already said, please watch the live acoustic version of Corey Taylor. Also "fun fact" about this video. Corey wasn't supposed to break the glass and actually cut his hand doing it.
So glad you picked this one as your intro to Slipknot
Ignorance is Bliss, Love that you have found what we have known all along, Corey is an amazing voice, Multi Talented
I loved your reaction. Acoustic version is amazing. I hope to see more good music like this and rock/metal bands.
Great break down of one of my favorite Slipknot songs. I liked watching you experience it for the first time.
Thank you, I just stumbled across your page, subscribed! You are great at explaining music theory!
Her smile says it all.
You can listen to Psychosocial from the same album, Or from the previous Vermilion pt2😊
Great analysis as always! I like the way you point out interesting vocal moments in a music track without instrumentals 🤩
Similarly, I was introduced to Slipknot through their lyrical songs such as "Snuff" or "Vermilion Pt. 2."
My suggestion is to continue exploring their not scary boy but a bit heavier music like "Vermilion Pt. 1" or "Killpop" 😉
great reaction in her eyes, faces and hands
React to more slipknot please! They are great imo
Corey is such a fantastic front man!
Probably my fav by them.. Corey's voice is so smooth here..
to me it is actually insane that the first music you've listened from slipknot is "Snuff"
nice aim!
what and incredible song and very very different from the rest of the discography
This right here is an excellent analysis
He broke that glass not on purpose and actually did cut himself btw also these guys are from my hometown and I love em dearly.
He did do it on purpose and it was him dressed up as the chick and painted over tattoos and he even shaved his legs the rest of band gave him shit jokingly
Great review. Because of it I subscribed to your channel. Next you have to review the Slipnot official video to 'Unsainted'.
Yasss, more slipknot pleasee
Judy Garlands "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a great song if you want to feel some emotions. There is one version that was filmed right after she attempted self-deletion (only told people later) and I don't know how describe the depth of emotion she puts in to the performance. I get goosebumps just thinking about it.
That organ sound is a Leslie rotary speaker effect. The musicians in Slipknot are world class musicians
You really need to watch the live acoustic version - its even better and you can FEEL everything so much more.
First time seeing your channel.Gotta say breath of fresh air.You actually know how to sing perit.Listen please react to anything from karnivool or twelve foot ninja. Pretty sure they're from your neck of the woods. Ty 😊
You should cover this!
Snuff is one of their most emotional ones. There are others to check out if you liked this.
Danger Keep Away
Vermillion pt 2 (reg & bloodstone)
Circle
Prelude 3.0
Seconding (or Hundredth-ing, I suppose) checking out the live acoustic of this. Corey is an insane performer. I love the full band behind him, but the acoustic is really something special.
I'm in love with u with this one 😅😅
you have to see him live.... Corey Taylor is awesome in any way... its awesome to see him performing
All I know is now I need a cover by Cristina
Snuff is the absolute exception Song from Slipknot. But almost every Slipknot fan love the song because it's just a genius track with so deep lyrics and emotions.
From having you as our English teacher, to watching your content to practice listening.
that's what I call a plot twist.
ps this is such an awesome content
This comment made my day 🥰 I loved teaching you guys, was so much fun!
This comment made my day 🥰 I loved teaching you guys, was so much fun!
Bands make 1 emotional song, sexy song, and a song with godly breakdowns
she's BAAAAAAAACK 🎉🎉
🍾🍾🍾
It looks like no one has taken a stab at unpacking the video without cheating and searching the internet to see if Corey or the band did a behind the scenes or explicitly answered it.
It follows a man tortured by the promise he once made to never forget or let go of someone who has died. We can presume he went through the 'normal' stages of grief at home, and in the opening shots, he's smoking a cigarette to calm his nerves before he escalates his coping attempts to dressing up as his lost lover in an attempt to recreate...something. Perhaps a night from years past.
The video tells a bit of a different story than the song and lyrics in my opinion, as those non-musical elements aren't present on either the album (album version is over 1 minute shorter) or when Corey does it live acoustic.
There are two more angles to approach the video from - one is from a kink angle from the shoe sniffing to self harm to cross dressing. A second would be the concept of a 'snuff' film and how this would fit into that genre... perhaps the video tape he keeps replaying may be so torturing to the main character that an otherwise innocent 'home video' has become as horrifying and painful as a snuff film following his loss. That's all too much to unpack for a YT comment section though.
Hope you do more reactions, I love how much musical knowledge and attention to detail you brought to this song!
Great synopsis. Another possible interpretation is that she is living but has left him; but either way, he can't cope with the loss and has taken to becoming her in order to try to fill the void. A third possible interpretation is that she never existed; she was a figment of his imagination that became so real his mind splintered and he started having multiple personalities, and he keeps reliving the loss over and over as in the "real" personality he keeps finding the clues his alter-ego left, such as the lipstick on the glass or the shoe.
One of the reasons I love the video is that it invites such speculation and discussion. There's no real "clear" answer.
A baby died every time you said “angry boy music”
I was thinking this same thing lmao. Kind of triggering to be honest lol.
😂😂😂
Great review!. Hope you find another rock/hard/ heavy band to check😊...tool again maybe?😊😊 ...
Watching people experience Snuff for the first time helps me be
I would love to see your reaction to Dimmu Borgir - Gateways!
You really need to see the acoustic solo version of this.
Loving your reaction vids! Great to see you’re a Tool convert! Not hard to see why. My recommendation for a song would be Tremor Christ by Pearl Jam.
You started with their version of a ballad and it really shows the expressiveness and versatility of Corey Taylor's voice. Enjoy the Slipknot rabbit hole. More surprises ahead. 😊
Hi Cristina, I love the way you do these reactions! Good job! Please make a reaction to the song Stabat Mater Dolorosa by Epica & Floor Jansen.
Listen to more Slipknot. They are one of the most diverse bands you'll ever encounter. phenomenal band. People hear the name and think crazy hard metal.. not the case. Dig deeper, you won't be disappointed.
Most of it is "hard metal" tho. Or hard nu-metal. Whatever 😄
The amazing thing about slipknot is they are diverse, they can pull off a song like this very well although typically this isn't their core sound. Corey wrote this song about a girl who helped him through a real hard time. He fell in love with her but she didn't feel the same way back and it broke him. The bassist at the time Paul Gray who unfortunately passed away young due to an overdose pushed Corey to release it. Originally he wasn't going to but Paul pushed him to, Now this song is more of a tribute to him so Corey finds it very hard to perform this live. Once you go down the slipknot rabbit hole you will be hooked. It's a deep rabbit hole, so get comfortable and enjoy your stay 😊
Also, you should check out Vermillion and Vermillion pt 2 by Slipknot. They're amazing as well and hit me in the feelers every time!
The End of Heartache by Killswitch Engage (Howard Jones era) is also one of my tops and really grabs my heart strings. (It's also heavy metal)
You should definitely swing from this to Disasterpiece live 2001 in London 😂 Now that's scary boy music
For more Corey Taylor goodness I suggest looking at "From Can To Can't" from the Sound City doco soundtrack. Crescendo city!
The song is about his struggles with addiction and separation of him and his wife. Great song amazing man and band.
I really liked the way you broke down the vocals, and gave a great reaction, they have other slower songs like Vermilion part one and 2, circle, goodbye, til we die, gehenna, killpop, dead memories, psychosocial of course, duality, wait and bleed, really any of their songs, they have many different styles to them from album to album and even song to song sometimes, its a great band to dive into
I would love a reaction to Dax Riggs, who is one of the most underrated vocalists! There is a great Night is the Notion live performance on here that he does, but there is a lot of good stuff he does as Dax Riggs, Deadboy and the Elephantmen, or Acid Bath.
I just started listening to slip not lately myself can't make sense of it but I'm starting to like ther songs
Duality and Psychosocial are your best to hear early on to know about how Slipknot USUALLY is.
you need to listen to unsainted next!! there’s a lot of opera back up vocals/in the intro that i think you’d love :D
The live version is exceptional
Agora quero análise de Circle e Vermilion
A lot of Slipknot's compositions are very percussion driven, probably because they have 3 percussionists, and also because Shawn is one of the lead writers. Having 9 members in a band really expands that instrumental palette they can call on.
The song itself is about obsession and unrequited love. When Corey was going through a really rough stage he had a close friend who stood by him and helped him through it. Corey began to fall for her, but when he opened up about it he found she didnt see him that way. It took him a long time to get over it.
To add to that, when Corey brought this song to the band most of them weren't enthusiastic about it except for bassist Paul. Paul encouraged Corey to push it through and helped the rest of the band see it's merit, and it eventually became one of their signature hits. In 2010 Paul died from an incorrectly prescribed overdose. Now when ever they perform this song it reminds Corey of Paul. The live acoustic version of Snuff that people recommend is from Corey's solo performance, and is an incredible emotion fueled performance
check out the live version with just Corey. its so good.
now do the live acoustic version
SCARY BOY MUSIC :D
I highly recommend you listen to Tesseract - Legion Dan Tompkins performance on it is simply incredible
You should definitely react to a band called Battle Beast. Their lead singer Noora is absolutely incredible. She has a really interesting voice that knows no bounds. I highly recommend.
As a lot of folks have probably pointed out. Duality or Before I Forget would be a more appropriate introduction to them!
I think it’s time for some Iowa, what do yall think?
Some context for Slipknot's Discography:
1. Their self titled album that came first has what a lot of fans to consider some of best songs they've written. Probably their 2nd best album.
2. Their Iowa album is considered their heaviest, darkest, and "scariest" album. This is what many consider to be core, pure, and unadulterated SLIPKNOT. Widely regarded as their best album by longtime fans.
3. Volume 3 subliminal verses album is when corey changes up his vocals a bit (many think for the worse) and gets clean from alcohol. The band at this point has gained much more widespread popularity.
4. All hope is gone album is when corey really starts to work on improving his lyrics and again changes his vocals a bit. This is also the last album with all original members.
5. The gray chapter. Their bassist Paul Gray passed away a few years before this album and the band almost separated because of it. This album is dedicated to him. The band also dropped their drummer Joey Jordison due to medical reasons. With this they gained a new bassist and drummer Alessandro Venturella and Jay Weinberg.
6. We are not your kind saw another member leave. He was a percussionist (Chris Fehn). He was replaced by Michael Pfaff.
7. The End so far... this album saw craig jones their media/samples member record and play a few shows before leaving the group. Additionally, their drummer Jay Weinberg also played on this album and a few shows, before he found out he was suddenly no longer in the band.
Recommended listening
1. Purity
2. Disasterpiece
3. (SIC)
4. Surfacing
5. Dead Memories
6. Nero Forte
7. Wait and Bleed
8. Duality
9. Eyeless
10. Vermillion part 1 and Vermillion part 2 (they both should count as one song).
Another great ballad of them is Circle
you absolutely must listen to The drug in me is Reimagined by Falling in Reverse, I won't spoil anything but it's so magnificent that you can't help but love it, the singer's voice is spine-chilling, few singers can sing like that. thumb your nose to make him read it.
If you're still looking for scary-boy-heavy-af Slipknot, I'd suggest Scissors from their self-titled album, Disasterpiece from Iowa (it's absolutely brutal and probably what you were thinking of, in terms of overall sound), The Blister Exists from The Subliminal Verses, Gematria (The Killing Fields) from All Hope Is Gone, Lech from .5: The Gray Chapter, Solway Firth from We Are Not Your Kind and Warranty from The End, So Far.
Each song has it's own unique feel obviously and you'd probably enjoy just about any of them, if you're at all into the heavier side of music.
imo the ending just explains that he has completely lost himself and his grip on reality from the pain, and has to resort to self-deception to stop the pain. True love is forever, even if you don't want it to be
u did choose a softer song but its still one of my favs. u some popular heavy ones are duality, custer, and purity. psycosocial is also a good one.
We're gonna need an Iron Maiden reaction. I'd suggest The Talisman live en vivo!
i like how the video has McBeth themes.
Just discovered your channel today, 26 Apr 24. Can't say I listened to much Slipknot or Nu Metal in general. But I love the band Soen and their live in studio cover of this song.
Suggestions for reactions to great rock/metal singers that 99% of reactors haven't done:
Daniel Gildenlöw - Pain Of Salvation
Matt Smith - Theocracy (not Dr. Who 😊)
Daniel Heiman - Lost Horizon (early 2000's, more recently the bands Sacred Outcry, and Warrior Path)
Andy Kuntz - Vanden Plas
This particular Slipknot song was written by Corey and Paul the Bassist who we lost to an overdose. Paul and Corey were very close and this song is very dear to Corey . RIP Paul.❤ . I'm a 25 yrs Maggot.
Would really love you to do Sleep Token sometime. Vessel=worship
I am sure someone has pointed out that the breaking of the glass was not staged in the video. He accidentally broke it so what you are seeing is them leaving the camera running while he reacts to badly cutting himself.
Just wanted to make an artist suggestion of someone who you will probably love reacting to and may bring lots of eyeballs and potential new subscribers to your channel. He is setting the world on fire right now. And that person is Ren, a Welsh singer/songwriter/and rapper. From musical and storytelling perspective, his most operatic songs are probably " Hi Ren," "The tale of Jenny and screech ( Full version)" & "Money Game part 3". He has an awesome singing voice which is most predominantly displayed on the track "Back on 74/Message in a bottle retake," "Fred Again Mashup," and his live duets with Chinchilla ("Chalk outlines" and "How to be me"). Most reactors start their musical exploration with the song "Hi Ren". Keep up the great work and hope you check him out
Please have a look at and review Coming Home by The Tea Party. Brilliant band and Jeff Martin has an amazing voice. The band also uses a really cool eclectic collection of instruments in there music - especially on the Edges of Twilight album.
