You really need to react to jinjer, the most common reactions are for the song "picses" but i highly recomend to start with "perennial (live at wacken open air 2019)"
Let's bring in a new band. A couple of suggestions I would say: Spiritbox - Blessed Be, Jinjer - Pieces (Live Studio Session), Opeth - Ghost of Perdition (Live at the Red Rock Amplitheater), or Lamb of God - either Now You've Got Something to Die For or Walk with Me In Hell.
That is literally the moral, the premise of, "All Out Life": It's an open challenge, daring the listener to live life to its fullest and be as uniquely yourself as you do. "No excuses, I challenge you to all-out fucking life!"
Easy easy easy... the indoctrination isn't fully completed for this one. Let's wait for a lyric breakdown on a studio version. That's how we get him. The fact he lost the lyrics and got caught up in the emotion of it, despite his best intentions, is just the beginning. 😀
@@UltimateGamerCC just trying to scare him a lil. Lol he got totally wrapped up in it. That anxiety feeling in the interlude. There's something in that's primal..I get goosebumps every time I watch this!
It will never be like the original line up. But the others wouldn't let Slipknot become trash, they care about their fans and art to fill the spots and it not be great. They would've just stopped if they didn't feel the new lineup was worthy of display. But I may be bias because I grew up with their music like they were my big brothers. Lol
If I remember correctly, Spit it Out was written to the haters of the band in their early days (labels in particular)- the songs basically going fuck you to them
This song was basically a hate song towards a radio station In Iowa that literally went out of their way to avoid playing slipknots music. As you may know, Slipknot is from Iowa. So it was a huge deal that there was a local radio station that essentially refused to play their music. And it just pissed them off.
but can we appreciate that the guitarist just played that heartbeat riff for a few minutes without a mistake? that takes alot of stamina and concentration
I'm not a huge Slipknot fan, nor would I say I'm a huge Metal fan, BUT I've been to a Slipknot concert and it's one of the best concerts I've ever been to, and I've been to a few..... Not only was the performance awesome but the crowd was amazing..... I have never had so much fun with so many people at a concert.... The entire thing had this "we're all in this together" vibe that I kinda feel like you only get at metal concerts, but with Slipknot it was extra.... 10/10 :)
@@roymorrishx ppl who know me best know there's "she's depressed" and "oh shit, she's listening Snuff"... Two types of same illness, one way more concerning 😅
You did what Corey wanted.... You became "a part of the show". And, no lie, it makes me feel good when people who dont normally listen to heavier music actually get into it. BIG thumbs up man
Yeah you'd be surprised! Corey is a HUGE hip-hop head. Even collabed with Tech N9ne on his Special Effects project, in a song called "Wither". Him and Tech are actually pretty good friends now and have collabed a couple of other times after that.
Your face when Corey started rapping...gold 🤣 I'd love to see a Corey and Eminem song. I love Slipknot, Corey has one of the best vocals in the biz. Halestorm, Nightwish or Five Finger Death Punch next please!
I'm a big time metalhead. And Knox hill you make hands down some of the best reaction videos on youtube... I hate when people act like they know what's going on and dont have a clue. Whether its rap or metal you always figure it out because of your masterful breakdowns of the song.... keep doing what you're doing bro and you'll continue to gain subscribers like me and the rest of the metal community
Lots of rappers especially the ones who like old school rap like rock and metal too. It was originally a big family and it got separated when rap became mainstream I guess.
I wanna go to UK so bad for these...we have one good big venue where I'm at that does festivals.. but they do the sit down thing every show.. I've seen them twice and it's my favorite part
God your metal reactions are becoming a regular part of my Monday evenings haha. Amazing video as always, Slipknot's energy is always cranked to 11. Another weekly request for Underbite by Protest The Hero :) I genuinely think you'll lovvee the song and it's message.
I've been to two Slipknot concerts. LOVE the energy Corey commands from the crowd. The drummer is Joey (R.I.P.). You need to go see them live. Not just videos. Trust me, you won't regret it.
Corey has a voice - management many other can only dream about, this man is so underrated. The Drummer (Joey Jordason) is sadly dead 😢 … he was the master of drums and inspired many people to be drummer. We Slipknot - Fans all around the world get called Maggots … they made a Song about it (Pulse of the Maggots), one of my fav ones. Well … i think … welcome to the Maggots, Mate 🤘
I've learned 3 instrument because of Mick, Paul R.I.P, and Joey R.I.P. My best friend introduced me to them when i was 15 and 18 years later I still listen to their music as if its the first time hearing it. I'm a Maggot for life and I'd rather die than turn my back on the 9.
I was actually there for this and the energy was genuinely off the charts. Fun fact the prodigy was playing on the second stage at the same time and they were actually competing with other to see who could be the loudest 😂. Hell of an evening.
All of Slipknot are amazing. Number 1. It was a massive loss. Yet everyone else in the band are so fucking talented. They are all also some super wholesome people too. A Slipknot concert needs to be in your future Knox. All Love Maggots
I was at this Consert! Standing right next to the soundstage. Me and my dad traveled to England from Sweden, I was 15 years old. 29 today. I will never forget this moment, I was the happiest kid on earth! Thanks for reacting to this, brought back alot of amazing memories. Peace!
That was f’ing epic!!! I was grinning so big as this went on. I’ve never listened to Slipknot except on reaction videos but seeing this live performance I would totally go to a show!
Imagine being 20yo and going to a 1500 person venue to check out a new band named Slipknot... what a legendary band and song. I saw a lot of metal shows and that was one of the best. Stage performance was top notch, with the drummer being lifted and spun upside-down along with his entire drum set being a highlight of the show.
If you want a great example of how well rap and metal fit together, check out the Tech N9ne song, "Wither," that he had Corey Taylor (Lead singer of Slipknot) featured on. Shit was a banger, and it shows how well they blend.
It's not a song, but comedian Josh Pray has a 4 min piece titled: *MGK doesn't want problems with Slipknot or that genre …..trust me* It's in response to punk pop MGK talking ish about Corey. Even if you don't react to it - you and anyone who sees this should watch. So funny!
@caroudabush I saw them right before they really blew up, the venue was small like maybe a 400 people. Back then they would do meet and greats if you stayed and waited after the show.
These guys live are a treat. It's been awhile since I have been to one their shows, but the last one I went to my brother and I got to meet Corey and Sid and it was awesome. They sat and shot the shit with us for a few minutes before the show. Crowd participation means a lot to Slipknot. They want you engaged as possible. They did the "jump the fuck up" bit during "Surfacing" instead of this track when I seen them. You should definitely react to "Surfacing". It's a serious BANGER!!!
5:40 Yes this song is originally the band expressing anger towards their local radio station in Iowa where they are from as when they were just starting out, some people there were trying a hard as they could to keep slipknot off the air
@@sisi1500able Depends on what style you prefer, Gene Hoglan is always a safe bet, Thomas Haake is mindblowingly good if you can stomach the music Meshuggah makes. Thomas Lang, Marco Minnemann and Benny Grebb are godlike in their own right if you are into mor proggy stuff. None of those are my personal favorites, but all of them are great in terms of technicality.
I saw Slipknot live in 1999 or 2000. This part hit and I was dumbfounded at the fact the ENTIRE Arena was silent. You could hear a pin drop. It was amazing Corey's command over the audience and their ability to connect with their fans.
I was at this show. Was absolutely insane in the crowd after it kicked back in after kneeling down. Thought I was going to die 🤣 ... Great memories.. Slipknot are incredible live
Fun fact: some lyrics were altered from the original version in the real recorded version, The line is "Where are you gonna be in the next 5 years?" in this live version and in 2019's Download, Corey Alters the Lyrics, to 10 and 20 years to pay homage to the fact they've been coming to download for over 2 decades now
My understanding is that there was a group of I think Radio DJ's in Iowa when Slipknot were coming up that wouldn't play their stuff and ran them down on air and talked a whole bunch of mess so this was Corey's way of striking back. It's a look at me now song. I did what you didn't.
I only ever come to these reactions of the live performance to see peoples reactions to Corey's rapping and Joeys rotating drum kit. My joy never is failed as both are never expected, especially the drum kit.
You ought to check out Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope (Live in Colorado 2016). Six of the most incredible musicians you'll ever lay eyes on. Clean singing, harsh vocals, a violin, insane drummer, bassist, two amazing guitar players. Magic made into sound.
Slipknots collective body of work, is friggin breathtaking. Would love for you to grab some of their newer stuff, and see how they have matured. But they still kick you in the face more often than not. And I'm SO glad to see Joey used the turntable in this. First time I saw that, my brain melted.
"I'll push an old lady into traffic, watch me!!" (Corey Laughs) HAHAHA!! Your videos are always boss level my dude, i'm glad you hit this track up, but you need the studio version to appreciate how well Corey can actually spit. His track "Wither" with tech N9ne is proof of his skills. Keep it up man!
Ahhh I love watching reactions for this particular video. I was there at Download 2009 and the atmosphere was fucking incredible! We all jumped the fuck up that night! 😅
Metal Mondays have become a fantastic way to relax after a day of hard work. I started as a hip-hop/rap fan (I enjoy great lyrics) but then I discovered Linkin Park and that’s how I found most beautiful music genre of all time. Keep it up with the metal content. Can’t wait for you to react to Deftones. Digital Bath is a good starter, or Passenger. Both are from the fantastic White Pony album.
if you wanna hear corey actually rapping, lookup kid bookie stuck in my ways.hes from england if i recall or moonshine bandits live the madness he raps on too
Just subscribed. Been a slipknot/metal fan for 20 years now. Welcome to the metal community. You are officially a maggot now. Metal music changed my life forever.
Slipknot didn't get a lot of airtime on radio in their beginning. A local station that would play their music was having a feud with another local radio station, Slipknot wrote the song as a diss for their station against the one that were keeping them off radio.
I remember when I was first learning these lyrics, it took awhile even on the non live version to read it and keep up with him, this song among many others. Metal, but Taylor can rap.
LOL "i think he said 'hi how are you? i would love to shake hands with you and go skipping through a field of rainbows'" id i about died laughing man!!!
I was in this crowd and it was the most incredible show. From the very first second he had us in the palm of his hand! Nothing will ever come close as a live experience.
No shame to Joey but if you want to see the master who invented the drum platform live show antics that's none other than Tommy Lee. Dude legit has a roller coaster track that takes him all around the venue. The Official music video for Motley Crue's Wild Side has him spinning end over end in place. Granted his drumming is far easier than what Joey is playing but still pretty insane.
I'm never a big fan of drumming but i can drum a little bit but Joey just built different. Makes me shivers when everytime i saw him. Too bad he's gone. RIP. and for Paul, thank you for inspiring me to play bass, he was the reason how i ended up in music school. RIP too.
Im generally all over the place when it comes to metal and all of the sub genres its created. So im going to recommend a couple different ones. Motionless in White- Masterpiece Cradle of Filth- Honey and sulfer or Nymphetamine Bullet for my Valintine- Fever Avenged Sevenfold- Critical Acclaim Hellyeah- Cowboy Way Killswitch Engage- the End of Heartache Killswitch Engage- My Last Serenade
Great reaction! Glad you liked it. You should check out Corey Taylor performing this song live and acoustic in London 2018. It starts at 1:49:18 in the full show video. It's amazingly different and I'm sure it would be interesting for you as an artist. If you don't want to do a reaction do yourself a favour and watch it at least just for yourself. Fun fact: Corey did some rap features with Kid Bookie and Tech N9ne. Do you remember your reaction to the Falling in Reverse trilogy ages ago? The guy screaming in the middle of "Drugs" was Corey. Greetings from Germany
Hey Knox. Glad you gave this one a shot. The story behind it goes something like this. These guys are from Iowa, one of the major Rock/Metal radio stations had a DJ who refused to play their music and was quietly trying to blacklist them while they were on the local circuit. If I remember correctly, it got heated pretty heated behind the scenes. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but that's the base bones of it.
This was awesome, man. Loved how you got in to the vibe with the live atmosphere and everything! I'd love to see you react to some grunge era music next. Maybe The Rooster by Alice In Chains? Some great lyrics and awesome vocal performance on that one.
Great reaction Knox! As always! Been subbed for a long time, but I rarely comment. I wanted to suggest a new band for your Metal Monday's. Maybe give the band Nightwish a try. The song is - Storytime live from Wacken 2013. It's a shorter song than the one folks usually suggest to start with. But they have a huge catalog, and are a supremely talented group of individuals. Nightwish is a Symphonic Metal band, with a female lead vocalist. Hopefully, you'll see this and give them a go! Hope you enjoy it if you do! Thanks for sharing your time, expertise, and thoughts with us on all of your musical journeys! It's most appreciated! Sending blessings and light to you & your family from me and my family in Alabama! Keep on rocking Knox🤘🏻😊
That would be a cool one to start with, regardless of how much I love Ghost Love Score @ Wacken 2013. Considering Knox's literary etc depth, Shoemaker and Song of Myself are probably worth a thought, too. No matter where you start, though, I'll certainly be tuning in every step of the way down that rabbit hole ❤️
@@anttisaamanen2398 we think a lot alike lol! I strongly considered Song of Myself and Shoemaker, too hard for me to pick a favorite lol! But, I went with Storytime. My thinking was it's a bit easier as an introduction, as we all know how deep and emotional their songs can get! I feel the same way about GLS, I figured that the length might play a part, and if he likes Storytime, then move in for GLS! I'm really hoping he sees this! Blessings to you, fellow member of the Nightwish Army🤘🏻❤️

Your really should check out "Wither" By slipknot feat. Tech N9ne if you want that rap/rock ride ✌️

Corey Taylor is the only dude that could say “take care of yourselves and take care of each other” and make it sound like a threat
Wasn't that quoting Conan O'Brien?
Well said
On god dude
That is literally the moral, the premise of, "All Out Life": It's an open challenge, daring the listener to live life to its fullest and be as uniquely yourself as you do.
"No excuses, I challenge you to all-out fucking life!"
Then your experience of threatening sounding dudes is extremely shallow lol
you're not only a Metalhead, Knox. you're also a certified Maggot, and i am happy to see you join in as one of us.

Joeys drum solo was epic and I’m glad I got to see it!
I'm sad I never got to see them... 😩
100%… seen them 9 times in 4 different countries.. best live performance I’ve ever seen
Ah yes Joey and his throne of drums. What a legendary musician gone way too soon. ❤️
Joey 🙏 a drumming 🥁 beast and legend
How the hell does a band get blessed with not just one, but two goddamn amazing drummers
Dude ☹️
Now they need a new one
Definitely an absolute legend of drummers and Definitely gone to early.
If I remember correctly, Spit it Out was written to the haters of the band in their early days (labels in particular)- the songs basically going fuck you to them
Might as well have been to MGK for dissing them first. 😁
@@coolsk8ter888 WELL FUCK MGK anyways lmao the guy, if he even IS these days, is worthless xD
@@coolsk8ter888 apart from the song being released in 99🤣

very true. it´s not a super hard riff. but playing it for a couple minutes without tripping up is really difficult.
If you think that's difficult you should see his warmup

Its was my 21st birthday present.

I was there too. I was 39 then and nearly 53 now and i still get goosebumps when i watch this

That is Joey Jordinson original drummer and who passed in last few year's. RIP Joey. He was also an Insanely gifted drummer.
Joey kills it on the drums. A great talent lost too soon. I wish I knew about him sooner.

I was at this show. First time I saw Slipknot when I was 17. I’m seeing them at the same festival again next month. They’re an amazing live band
My understanding is that there was a group of I think Radio DJ's in Iowa when Slipknot were coming up that wouldn't play their stuff and ran them down on air and talked a whole bunch of mess so this was Corey's way of striking back. It's a look at me now song. I did what you didn't.
I only ever come to these reactions of the live performance to see peoples reactions to Corey's rapping and Joeys rotating drum kit. My joy never is failed as both are never expected, especially the drum kit.
You ought to check out Ne Obliviscaris - And Plague Flowers The Kaleidoscope (Live in Colorado 2016). Six of the most incredible musicians you'll ever lay eyes on. Clean singing, harsh vocals, a violin, insane drummer, bassist, two amazing guitar players. Magic made into sound.
One of my all time fav slipknot songs
Slipknots collective body of work, is friggin breathtaking. Would love for you to grab some of their newer stuff, and see how they have matured. But they still kick you in the face more often than not.
And I'm SO glad to see Joey used the turntable in this. First time I saw that, my brain melted.
"I'll push an old lady into traffic, watch me!!" (Corey Laughs) HAHAHA!! Your videos are always boss level my dude, i'm glad you hit this track up, but you need the studio version to appreciate how well Corey can actually spit. His track "Wither" with tech N9ne is proof of his skills. Keep it up man!
Just finally saw slipknot live last summer after listening since their first album and it was incredible 🙌
Ahhh I love watching reactions for this particular video. I was there at Download 2009 and the atmosphere was fucking incredible! We all jumped the fuck up that night! 😅
The Gravitron. Tommy Lee's spinning drum kit on the Girls, Girls, Girls tour was also awesome.
This was my first festival and first time seeing slipknot live. This was insane being in this crowd of 90 thousand people during spit it out!
Metal Mondays have become a fantastic way to relax after a day of hard work. I started as a hip-hop/rap fan (I enjoy great lyrics) but then I discovered Linkin Park and that’s how I found most beautiful music genre of all time. Keep it up with the metal content. Can’t wait for you to react to Deftones. Digital Bath is a good starter, or Passenger. Both are from the fantastic White Pony album.
People complain that metal is all about violence but listen to that wholesome asf send off, "look after yourselves, look after each other". Perfect.
if you wanna hear corey actually rapping, lookup kid bookie stuck in my ways.hes from england if i recall or moonshine bandits live the madness he raps on too
Or CMFT Must Be Stopped with Kid Bookie and Tech N9ne
Just subscribed. Been a slipknot/metal fan for 20 years now. Welcome to the metal community. You are officially a maggot now. Metal music changed my life forever.
I saw them last year and it was brutal brutal show and Corey is just awesome
This is THE definitive live version of this song too.
No life by slipknot is a good reaction, demonstrates CT’s flows
Cross off by Mark Morton and Chester Bennington as well!!
Slipknot didn't get a lot of airtime on radio in their beginning. A local station that would play their music was having a feud with another local radio station, Slipknot wrote the song as a diss for their station against the one that were keeping them off radio.
I remember when I was first learning these lyrics, it took awhile even on the non live version to read it and keep up with him, this song among many others. Metal, but Taylor can rap.
LOL "i think he said 'hi how are you? i would love to shake hands with you and go skipping through a field of rainbows'" id i about died laughing man!!!
I always love your Metal Mondays, can you please do Ice Nine Kills, Trivium, or Arch Enemy for a Metal Monday?
Ice nine kills but gotta be in the right order like NF.
@@DCVerThe3rd agreed
Hell yes Arch Enemy's Nemesis! 🤘
I was in this crowd and it was the most incredible show. From the very first second he had us in the palm of his hand! Nothing will ever come close as a live experience.
No shame to Joey but if you want to see the master who invented the drum platform live show antics that's none other than Tommy Lee. Dude legit has a roller coaster track that takes him all around the venue. The Official music video for Motley Crue's Wild Side has him spinning end over end in place. Granted his drumming is far easier than what Joey is playing but still pretty insane.
Another great Metal Monday!! Thank you, and keep 'em coming!!
You shoudl totally react to Corey Taylor’s CMFT feat Kidbookie and….Techn9ne 🎉 And fun fact: Slipknot had a recent beef w none other than MGK lol
I'm never a big fan of drumming but i can drum a little bit but Joey just built different. Makes me shivers when everytime i saw him. Too bad he's gone. RIP. and for Paul, thank you for inspiring me to play bass, he was the reason how i ended up in music school. RIP too.
Slipknot is always gonna be the best
Great reaction. Slipknot live is a ride. If you're looking for more, check out "Custer" live. It's my favorite Slipknot song and has so much energy.
Yessir! This performance goes crazy!
Im generally all over the place when it comes to metal and all of the sub genres its created. So im going to recommend a couple different ones.
Motionless in White- Masterpiece
Cradle of Filth- Honey and sulfer or Nymphetamine
Bullet for my Valintine- Fever
Avenged Sevenfold- Critical Acclaim
Hellyeah- Cowboy Way
Killswitch Engage- the End of Heartache
Killswitch Engage- My Last Serenade
Great reaction! Glad you liked it. You should check out Corey Taylor performing this song live and acoustic in London 2018. It starts at 1:49:18 in the full show video. It's amazingly different and I'm sure it would be interesting for you as an artist. If you don't want to do a reaction do yourself a favour and watch it at least just for yourself.
Fun fact: Corey did some rap features with Kid Bookie and Tech N9ne.
Do you remember your reaction to the Falling in Reverse trilogy ages ago? The guy screaming in the middle of "Drugs" was Corey.
Greetings from Germany
Love that you appreciate Corey, I am so very here for it
Is anyone surprised? Metal is far superior to any other genre.
I’ve seen them live three times over the past 20 years. They do not disappoint!
Excellent reaction.... Check out Wither by Tech N9ne and Corey Taylor next....
Hey Knox. Glad you gave this one a shot. The story behind it goes something like this. These guys are from Iowa, one of the major Rock/Metal radio stations had a DJ who refused to play their music and was quietly trying to blacklist them while they were on the local circuit. If I remember correctly, it got heated pretty heated behind the scenes. I'm sure I'm forgetting something but that's the base bones of it.
You know he was a phenomenal drummer when his center of gravity was thrown off he just kept banging away like it never even happened LOL.
RIP Joey J.💔
This is the one I was waiting for! Knox you the man!!
This was awesome, man. Loved how you got in to the vibe with the live atmosphere and everything! I'd love to see you react to some grunge era music next. Maybe The Rooster by Alice In Chains? Some great lyrics and awesome vocal performance on that one.
Down in a hole too !!
Man In the Box too... fkn fire
I was there!!! it was INCREDIBLE!
Great reaction Knox! As always! Been subbed for a long time, but I rarely comment. I wanted to suggest a new band for your Metal Monday's. Maybe give the band Nightwish a try. The song is - Storytime live from Wacken 2013. It's a shorter song than the one folks usually suggest to start with. But they have a huge catalog, and are a supremely talented group of individuals. Nightwish is a Symphonic Metal band, with a female lead vocalist. Hopefully, you'll see this and give them a go! Hope you enjoy it if you do! Thanks for sharing your time, expertise, and thoughts with us on all of your musical journeys! It's most appreciated! Sending blessings and light to you & your family from me and my family in Alabama! Keep on rocking Knox🤘🏻😊
I concur!!
YES!
That would be a cool one to start with, regardless of how much I love Ghost Love Score @ Wacken 2013. Considering Knox's literary etc depth, Shoemaker and Song of Myself are probably worth a thought, too.
No matter where you start, though, I'll certainly be tuning in every step of the way down that rabbit hole ❤️
@@anttisaamanen2398 we think a lot alike lol! I strongly considered Song of Myself and Shoemaker, too hard for me to pick a favorite lol! But, I went with Storytime. My thinking was it's a bit easier as an introduction, as we all know how deep and emotional their songs can get! I feel the same way about GLS, I figured that the length might play a part, and if he likes Storytime, then move in for GLS! I'm really hoping he sees this! Blessings to you, fellow member of the Nightwish Army🤘🏻❤️
@@nagyalex5310 the "I concur" army is strong! Lol! Thanks my fren 🤘🏻
Absolute greats of the genre man, RIP Paul and Joey
Also, PLEASE DO TECH N9NE WITHER FT. COREY TAYLOR!!
