Fun fact: slipknots first video without masks and as the internet wasnt as huge as it is now, we all watched this desperately trying to peep their faces for the first time
I so remember these days, googling for Craig's face specially... the "Unmasked googling" continued until Stone Sour became big and the death of Paul which revealed alot more in the conference....
That joy on your face while the chorus hits it really. That is what metal is all about. The sense of brotherhood. Being free. I'm watching this at work by the way hahah
Fun fact: this is the song that won Slipknot their first Grammy but wasn’t the first time nominated for a Grammy. That honor went to “wait and bleed” from their first album self titled Slipknot
So when Corey says “I was a creature before I can stand,” I think he’s talking about how the world has always treated him differently before he became the world famous singer song writer we know today. Which means that he had to become famous before everyone looked at him like he was an actual human.
My theory on that part is that he's referring to how he was never able to be a normal person since he was little. With him being so poor, moving all the time, the thing he went through with his only "friend"..he was never able to live like a person, but more like a creature. And what he means by "I will remember before I forget" is that he will remember who he truly is on the inside behind the mask and the music before he gets lost in the game and puts on the mask that turns him into the icon everyone remembers him as. That's just my take on the song.
dude it’s so dope that you went from being half scared to watch them to loving them , slipknot has always been a favorite, my dad is a tattoo artist so he’s always playing metal in his shop and i pretty much grew up hearing slipknot all the time
I will say this though, Watching your newfound interest grow in metal is bringing a smile to my face. Because each and every one of us feel those same goosebumbs when we first wore these albums out back in the day.
Shadowcub agreed, so awesome seeing someone who likes fast talking- I mean rap then getting into something that requires actual talent and actually has meaning to there songs
@@d3athsqvadanthem609 disagree with you, rap does take talent and It has amazing lyrics, as a huge Linkin park fan, I can show you LP lyrics by Mike shinoda that is just amazing
A perfect way to earn money by listening to your favourite music :P Write, that u listen to another genre and make reaction videos to your fav songs like you've seen them for the 1st time :D
The meaning of the song, and your interpretation of it are spot-on. During the writing of the album this song came on (The Subliminal Verses) was the time the lead singer, Corey Taylor, got sober. So, the changes he went through were very palpable both mentally and physically. It’s been said that an album is a snapshot of where a person or a band is at the time that is was created. I believe there is no better example of that concept than this record. In the Google Play mini-doc on this band, Clown referred to this album cycle as a time of healing. “Little more color, Little more saturation...chilled a little bit, but still THAT guy.”
Stone Sours debut record sold 500,000 copies in three years, Slipknot sold 1,000,000 within months with both Iowa & Vol.3 ;) They weren't never nearly as big. And Murderdolls were even less known, at least judging by record sales. So yes, by that time, that teaser was a pretty cool thing. Nobody I knew had ever heard of Stone Sour by that time, and I don't think anyone cared enough about Murderdolls to be aware that that was Joey from Slipknot...
This is actually one of my absolute favorite songs by this band! This song also won them an award for best metal song back in 2005. One of my favorite bands all in all too. Seen them in concert about 8 times and I fully intend to go see them again next year when they go out on tour once again.
This has been requested 4050 times already and liked! I've always been saying I think Exist is more of his cup of tea. 16 minutes of epicness. But at this point... ALPOH is just as good.
Dude i'm stoked with all the slipknot reactions! I'm not entirely sure how you haven't just listened to all their albums in your spare time yet; however, I will assume that it is a major sacrifice that you're making for us in order to keep them in the reaction video loop🤘🏾🤘🏾
Without question, one of my favourite Slipknot songs. It won them a Grammy, they don't care, I love that. Paul and Sid accepted, Clown too if I remember correctly. The night this came out on Aus tv I stayed up late to watch, no regrets.
This is a band I feel should be near the top of your concert list. That energy you love from their songs is a thousand times more live. I saw them a couple years ago and spent soooo much time in the pits hahaha
The ending of the video gave you that WTF look. I love it. I love how you react to videos, as you really get into the music in its many facets, even going so far as doing the actual RESEARCH behind the tunes. Great work, again. Keep it real, and I hope you keep the drive to enjoy listening to music (esp. metal) and reacting, because watching you do your thing makes my day. :) I think the song "Wolf Totem" by The Hu would make you raise an eyebrow in epicness. Give them a look see. Thanks
Sometimes I want to enjoy songs like the first time I hear it, but I cant, so I came to this kind of reactions just to revive those goosebumps of seeing other one enjoying my childhood sountracks. Thank you Alex, you made people happy with that energy. Hope to see you one day in a moshpit hahaha
First Slipknot song I ever heard and I was grossed out that I liked it as much as I did. Now with the release of their latest album, I just can’t deny that this is one of the best bands ever. How they can still bring their crazy energy that they had from the beginning! It's unbelievable. When I found out that they weren’t satanic, just extremely non-mainstream and none of their music is attacking religions or politics they didn't agree with I loved them even more. I’m so glad you love one of my favorite bands! Love your channel and love the joy you bring to my family (dad in particular.) Maggot for life, with love!
The video is showing their true selves pretty much. In the beginning, it starts with just their feet and hands and stuff. Then, as the video goes on, it shows the band mates masks are off..and little by little, it starts showing their mouths, their eyes, their features. And what Corey means by "I will remember before I forget" is that he will remember who he truly is behind the mask before he puts the mask back on and becomes the icon that everyone else remembers.
Check out Death - Crystal Mountain Carcass - Heartwork Type O Negative - Black No.1 Code Orange - Bleeding In The Blur Knocked Loose - Billy No Mates // Counting Worms Stagedives and high fives!
Bro I think ur literally the best reactor out their like I heard this song after forever and looked u up just to see if u heard it. Keep up the good work man love your content
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months and I love that metal has turned you to love it! Watch a little piece of heaven, just for your own satisfaction
great song to lift to. when this comes on my mp3. i know its go time to hit another set . its one of them songs that gets you to keep going to hit your goal. helps you to remember why you workout in the first place . now the song is about never forgetting who you are were you came from . no matter how much you know and been . never forget who you are . there are many fake people in the world . and this song is saying never forget and never become something you are not . be you .
This song brings me back to guitar hero 3 days when I heard song for the first time I don’t know for a fact but I think this was the first if not one of the first songs that got me into metal the heaviness, aggressiveness, and pure awesome riffs and talent of these musicians blown me away and left me speechless and from that moment my taste in music was changed! This song is still one of my top favorite to this day
easily, one of the best videos ever made! the unmasked jamming and still keeping their identities anonymous is brilliant. plus, such a great song! AND, the look of confusion on your face when they walk out was absolutely priceless! 🤘🏻😆
Man, watching Alex react to Slipknot immediately reminds me/takes me back to the first time I heard these songs, and it feels good. Years and years on, we are watching reactions to songs. Wtf. But, kudos.
oh my God, you're reminded me so many excellent songs i listened to ten years ago, this is amazing! And your reaction is good) I stuck on in flames for last year... but... oh my how many songs i need to relisten!
Fun fact: slipknots first video without masks and as the internet wasnt as huge as it is now, we all watched this desperately trying to peep their faces for the first time
Yep. Enjoying the music without a really teen and fun zeitgeist.
Hahaha. I remember people surprised: "OMG COREY HAS BLUE EYES?"
If this isn’t the truth I don’t know what is ...
I so remember these days, googling for Craig's face specially... the "Unmasked googling" continued until Stone Sour became big and the death of Paul which revealed alot more in the conference....
I always thought that those weren't actually them
We can't see Corey's head but we can see his neck. That's like 70% of his body anyway.
hahahaxD
Lmai
Lmfao.
More like 99%.
LMAO
Fun fact, they won a Grammy for this song!
really
for real?
Well deserved
It was their first Grammy too
@@beastjd0764 and probably the last one
This video was amazing when it first came out. Everyone wanted to see what their faces looked like and this video was basically one big tease.
Good times, my dude. Heard it came out and must've watched it 100 times over trying to spot a face hahaha
Check my comment in here for the reasoning behind this film clip.
Good times man
Man, exactly. I remember when i was tryna unmask these maggots lol
Xombii could you watch a video with all of them without masks on in 2003 though?
That joy on your face while the chorus hits it really. That is what metal is all about. The sense of brotherhood. Being free. I'm watching this at work by the way hahah
Arvind Sidhu ....Indian..... I hope that not everyone is listening to Bieber
@@amanbhakta4524 What are you trying to say?.
@@ArvindSidhu14 i wanna say ...im surprised to see an another indian brother....bcz i though most of them listen to those stupid pop songs
Hope metal doesn't die out in India
he dont have a Clue about metal he is just another cringy raphead

Left Behind by Slipknot.
It's about when Corey Taylor was homeless. It's so brutal. Check it out!
That song is so dope
Get this more likes!! he needs to see this. Surprised he hasn't reacted to this yet.
Btw its their most poppish song in iowa
jeff. Tf how ??????
i mean many agree on that i guess u could call it more melodic then
dude it’s so dope that you went from being half scared to watch them to loving them , slipknot has always been a favorite, my dad is a tattoo artist so he’s always playing metal in his shop and i pretty much grew up hearing slipknot all the time
My aunt has a tattoo shop!! My love for Slipknot and other metal bands grew from being at the shop all the time too!!

pedro eh talent as in like the “water” song and like Hollywood undead and lil Wayne and that shit
Try Snuff by Slipknot its honestly amazing what this band can do and how diff their songs can sound
He already reacted to Snuff
i don't believe he did, perhaps you're thinking of vermillion pt 2?
He already reacted to snuff but when you click on the video it now says it’s unavailable to view. 😭
Already done..
Perhaps it got taken down or something. Luckily, I've watched it before. He absolutely love that song.
Alex is a metalhead in disguise. I think
Maggots
He definitely looks like one .
100% what i think. None of these other reactors go and buy band tees 🤣
Oh yeah he definitely is one now, we converted him to good music \m/
A perfect way to earn money by listening to your favourite music :P Write, that u listen to another genre and make reaction videos to your fav songs like you've seen them for the 1st time :D
this will forever be my favorite slipknot song
Facts
This song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it! By far one of my favorites by Slipknot.

react to SLIPKNOT - Sulfur
yes, pls
Hell yeeeah!!
When this video came out nobody knew the faces behind the masks and this video was kind of a teaser of what they looked like
That's pretty sick
They should have known Corey's face, stone sour was pretty big by then
also roots face was know from stone sour and joey face from murderdolls.
Stone sour existed before slipknot
Stone Sours debut record sold 500,000 copies in three years, Slipknot sold 1,000,000 within months with both Iowa & Vol.3 ;) They weren't never nearly as big. And Murderdolls were even less known, at least judging by record sales. So yes, by that time, that teaser was a pretty cool thing. Nobody I knew had ever heard of Stone Sour by that time, and I don't think anyone cared enough about Murderdolls to be aware that that was Joey from Slipknot...
ALL THAT REMAINS THIS CALLING

This is actually one of my absolute favorite songs by this band! This song also won them an award for best metal song back in 2005. One of my favorite bands all in all too. Seen them in concert about 8 times and I fully intend to go see them again next year when they go out on tour once again.
From what I remember, the song is about how slipknot grew to fame and they won’t forget where they came from and what they went through.
