Just incase those of you who don't know there is a whole comic book series that goes with the album, read that then listen to the album and it all becomes clear.
@@parfner666 youtube has both albums up. As far as the concept someone told me its about a antihero named zero. That's as much as I've gotten about it.
Norrin Radd I did read it, I think it was intresting and had great artwork backing it up. As I understood the storyline is something about the main caracter going in to his own mind defeating his demons. He has to get to the house of Gold And Bones. Black John, Allen and Peckinpah are all caracters. Peckinpah is a helper, Allen in some kind of mostly evil entity, and Black John is a leader of a horde of mad people, chasing after the main caracter. Tbh I read it quite a while ago, also english is not my first language so I didn't understood everything completely. But as I said, the comic was intresting and entertaining.
I just love the old fashioned animated look! It's so different and unusual, I completely forgot about it. Corey has always made videos that make a statement, not always the easiest task!!!!!!!!!
If you like the old school animation, then you should check out Slash's video for his song Bad Rain! The song is a good one if you like him, and even if you don't and like this kind of video it's still worth the watch because its an awesome old school style out there video that is one that shouldn't really be watched by kids either!
Corey is a genius. Best work of his musical career over these past two albums. I haven't stopped listening to HOG&B Pt.1 since it came out! So excited for part two!
the fact ttha this pretty much sums up the entire story behind both parts of the house of gold and bones series AND concludes it continues to blow my mind. even the way the very last song of the second album and the very first song in part one end and start with the same note, simulating the endless loop the story is. incredible.
Part 1 plays directly into Part 2. It's an amazing story- I'd fully recommend buying both physical CDs and reading the story that comes with each. Makes the music a lot more meaningful.
just when you are so fucked in your head from all the noise and confusion, you find the clarity in the gut wrenching pain of another and realize, first of all it's not just you and some shouldn't be allowed to call themselves human beings..
I saw this when it first cane out, I wasn't very happy. But after reading the booklets that come with the albums, everything makes sense. From the characters to the things they do, I now love the video.
Reminds me of the church in Pink Floyd's The Wall. Empty Spaces. Anybody also notice the carnival rides in the background? I think there is a ferris wheel. There are other ones too. The glowing eyes of the Numbers reminds me of synchronous fireflies.
"The 'Do Me A Favor' video is actually based loosely on a part of the short story that happens towards the end. It's a lot of action and fire. All the main characters are there: The Human, Allen, Peck, Black John and the Numbers... It's a great ride. -Corey Taylor"
Do Me a Favor Stone Sour I am an anti everything man A scab on the lips of the Lord My caustic dismissal Is all I need to get you To fall on your sword It's easy to live fast It's harder to live I woke up today with a gun Ignoring your history Is killing your past You might run forever If death never lasts So do me a favor Your behavior Is just a reason why There is no savior When you're wasted Let's face it There's a side of you that Knows you're a failure Lives for the danger Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger The bell has rung on the titans Everybody give us some room Your so called set of fake morals I can't tell the difference Is that an excuse? The matter at hand Is a matter of time A sad little kid with broken toys Your dogmatic license Has kept you inside What will you do? When you're burning alive? So do me a favor Your behavior Is just a reason why There is no savior When you're wasted Let's face it There's a side of you that Knows you're a failure Lives for the danger Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger So do me a favor Your behavior Is just a reason why There is no savior When you're wasted Let's face it There's a side of you that Knows you're a failure Lives for the danger Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger I don't mind my old, dead story And I don't want to lie to you I know my glory Will never be the same as truth By now my only enemy is you I won't go slowly I'll leave you behind Leave you behind Leave you behind Leave you behind
3:55 this part of the song reminds me of a different song but I can't think of what it is. I believe it was produced by Slipknot but i'm not to sure can anyone help?
That line is actually chorus taken from their song "A Rumor of Skin" from House of Gold & Bones Part 1, which story continues with Part 2. So these records have connection with each other including sometimes same melodies, riffs or whatever. For example this or Absolute Zero/The House of Gold & Bones.
“Once we’ve toured and we’ve got the music out to everyone, the thing I really wanna do is have two movies - Part 1 and Part 2. With the comic and the story and the music, I think we’ll be able to do it. I already know who I wanna talk to about doing it, so we’ll see what happens.”- Corey Taylor
Meu Deus. essa música me é tão controvérsia. Odeio gutural, mas a cantaria normal da música é tão fodástica. Corey é MUITO gênio. Tô muito fã desse bicho, meu DEUS!
Thought this video was weird 2 when it came out but just finished reading the story and had the urge to re-watch it. Knowing the story makes it 1000x better
Allen as the Reverend, Peckinpah as the guy fighting the Reverend, the 486 and black John beating down the doors, while the building goes up in flames (the conflagration) Allen might have killed Peckinpah but he also burnt them all alive by setting it ablaze
THIS IS WHAT HAPPENED On the album, Blue Smoke, Do Me a Favor and The Conflagration are all kinda 1 song. As Corey has said many times, this is the end of the story/book Here is what's happening: "The Human"/Zero is the man that is in the chuch at the beginning. "Allen" is the Priest. "Do Me A Favor" is Allen's last attempt to get Zero to come to his side. Peckinpah is the zombie killer. Black John is the Zombie in the Chair. The zombies are the conflagration. Please thumbs up so ppl can see!
Thought this video was weird like 2 weeks ago but just finished reading the story and has the urge to re-watch it. Knowing the story makes it 1000x better
It's the finale of the story that the double concept album is written about. Basically it takes place in the subconcious of a man during a near-death experience, the main characters being representations of various parts of his personality. He's finally arrived at "the house of gold and bones", the priest is Allen, the representation of his selfish, arrogant side, the bearded guy is Peckinpah, the good side. Basically these sides are having a final face-of, while the main character ("the human") struggles to escape from his dream/coma/whatever by reaching the chair and burning alive in it. But because the battle is between various sides of his personality, he gets hurt when one of the two sides hurts the other, as they're actually both him. Meanwhile, Black John and his "numbers"(zombie-things) are catching up with him, Black John is also actually part of the human, I'm not sure exactly what he represents, seems to be some savage fear and aggression that's constantly haunting him, but I'm not sure. There's also some flashbacks to what messed the main character up so badly, namely what seems to be an abusive step-dad figure when he was a small child. This happened in 1982, and you can see a gravestone somewhere of how is innocence or something along those lines died that year. Eventually, he burns alive in his dream and comes back to live/wakes up, the battle in his subconscious having been resolved and being more at peace with himself, and stronger for it. At least, that's what I gathered from the story. I'm sure a bunch of it is open to interpretation.
It's like always, Popular singer who made one or 2 big hit around the world and get forgotten after a year Versus Good Band who get few hits and less view by video but stay forever and keep being awesome. Preps vs Punk/Rock/Metal
It's got nothing to do with Borderlands. It's part of the story of the comic book that went along with the two albums. Hence, it looks like a comic book...
They do both much lighter, and much heavier, than Nickelback... and do both ends of the spectrum better than Nickelback does anything. Hell, Corey's even a better human being. Kroeger can go fuck himself.
+Damion Fincher if anything this video art may be inspired from a good serie but holy hell did they fuck it up, i mean the horror element is here, in the production itself
Don't feel bad. I was listening to stone sour long before I knew it was stone sour. I didn't know till I heard say you'll haunt me on the radio and recognized the voice and looked them up.
its part of a two part themed album... its intentional to make it reminscent of previous installment. Just like with gone sovereign / absolute zero... another example metallica's unforgiven 1 and 2
This follows the story so accurately, its exactly what i had imagined while reading it. This story is so relatable too. Iits badass, and thank you stone sour, especially Corey Taylor
Best fucking album, concept, and design in 25 years! Great job guys. My favorite albums by a long shot. Thank you for bringing to life the inner struggles we ALL face within ourselves..
Looking forward to picking up my copy this week! Then I may have to check out the novels to accompany. Especially if the artwork looks as amazing as it does in this video.
Good song, however evil exists even in churches. People are fallible and they sin, it is not the Saviour's fault that people turn to evil and are hypocrites. And....why the zombies....honestly? The end message of turning into your own father - is a cop-out and makes you your own worst enemy and also a failure in the end.
If you read the story that comes with the CD this is the House of Gold and Bones where the human comes for the Conflagration. The zombies are part of Black John's army and he does not turn into his father at the end. The human has to make a choice, will he continue to live his life that has brought him here or make a change that he knows he has to make. The story ends without out us knowing the decision.

After all these years, I keep coming to this song and video.. one of those songs that changed something inside..
That ending chorus Corey sings is amazing!!
Totally Agree Mr. Hammer. The keyboard part....May 26, 2023. USA.
I listened to this when I was 6 years old and it has been stuck in my head since and now I’m 15 and finally found it
I haven't listen to this since I was four years old oml, I have been looking for this song.
I just love the old fashioned animated look! It's so different and unusual, I completely forgot about it. Corey has always made videos that make a statement, not always the easiest task!!!!!!!!!

Corey is a genius. Best work of his musical career over these past two albums. I haven't stopped listening to HOG&B Pt.1 since it came out! So excited for part two!
Amazing song and amazing music video :D Who else is watching this in 2016? ;)

I'm watching it in 2017
Awesome video, I think everybody is still watching :)
Wrathchild1995 2017!
Corey Taylor....Genius songwriter with a creative fkn mind to match!! I can relate to his many songs!
love the reprise of a rumor of skin at the end
Stone sour kicks ass!
This song just absolutely fascinates me you guys really are an amazing band

He is an artist in the true meaning of the word.
3:56 best part of the whole song.
2024 and this song and album are still bangers.
This music video is creepy as fuck and it's also a very fun song to play in GH Live. I love it
Sure is :D
I just noticed the music video intro is longer on here :D
Is that you Captain? Kappa
No Kappa
I play it everyday. I guess its kind of apparent due to my videos :P
Getting close to the FC?
I got -2 on solo and FC the rest :(
just when you are so fucked in your head from all the noise and confusion, you find the clarity in the gut wrenching pain of another and realize, first of all it's not just you and some shouldn't be allowed to call themselves human beings..
Grandioso .... Simplemente grandioso
I saw this when it first cane out, I wasn't very happy. But after reading the booklets that come with the albums, everything makes sense. From the characters to the things they do, I now love the video.
I LOVE STONE SOUR
Totally Genius House of Gold And Bones with a comic book to follow the story. Awesome Corey
Les quedo excelente este trabajo.. una súper canción y un gran video!!!!! Stone sour rules!!!! Saludos desde México!!!
nah, the different tempo, the change in pace, makes it what it is, unique, the ending ins the awesomeness on the cake :P
Reminds me of the church in Pink Floyd's The Wall. Empty Spaces. Anybody also notice the carnival rides in the background? I think there is a ferris wheel. There are other ones too. The glowing eyes of the Numbers reminds me of synchronous fireflies.
im glad i read that short story that came with hogab part 1 and 2, now i understand this music video! stone sour rocks!!!
Just seen them open for ozzy best damn show i seen in a long time
I caught that tour too. Excellent show.
Yeah I'll be buying parts 1&2 as soon as I'm able to, thanks!
Love this song!!!
House of gold and bones pt1 was a 9/10 for me and this is a great start to pt2 can't wait
Is this the same animator/ designer that did the "Disturbed - Vengeful one" music video?
Phil Mucci is the director.
Absolute banger of the ages!

Kory has one of the best metal voices I´ve ever heared
Do Me a Favor
Stone Sour
I am an anti everything man
A scab on the lips of the Lord
My caustic dismissal
Is all I need to get you
To fall on your sword
It's easy to live fast
It's harder to live
I woke up today with a gun
Ignoring your history
Is killing your past
You might run forever
If death never lasts
So do me a favor
Your behavior
Is just a reason why
There is no savior
When you're wasted
Let's face it
There's a side of you that
Knows you're a failure
Lives for the danger
Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger
The bell has rung on the titans
Everybody give us some room
Your so called set of fake morals
I can't tell the difference
Is that an excuse?
The matter at hand
Is a matter of time
A sad little kid with broken toys
Your dogmatic license
Has kept you inside
What will you do?
When you're burning alive?
So do me a favor
Your behavior
Is just a reason why
There is no savior
When you're wasted
Let's face it
There's a side of you that
Knows you're a failure
Lives for the danger
Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger
So do me a favor
Your behavior
Is just a reason why
There is no savior
When you're wasted
Let's face it
There's a side of you that
Knows you're a failure
Lives for the danger
Feels like an enemy but looks like a stranger
I don't mind my old, dead story
And I don't want to lie to you
I know my glory
Will never be the same as truth
By now my only enemy is you
I won't go slowly
I'll leave you behind
Leave you behind
Leave you behind
Leave you behind
Love the fast paced Stone Sour hell they're good either way.
If your here in 2021 you are a FUCKING BLOODY LEGEND
Genius montage!!! Congratulations!!! After 10x10x2… replay i knowed about that)

Roadrunner records has a powerhouse of a band here!
Anyone else see that in the end he killed the good in himself?
cant wait for the new album, been excited for the second part since I got it. Now the house will be complete.
1:58 Rick, is that you? What happened to the others?
Best...Song....EVER!!!!
They need to make a game out of this video
Took me since the album came out to finally understand it. Strangely, the video helped with the understanding.

Best music video that I have seen in a very long while!
This makes a lot more sense now that I have read the comic book
I've read the comic before listening
THIS MUSIC IS AWESOME.
THIS BAND IS AWESOME.
can someone explain to me what the video means?

god i hope not that game is terrible
***** Say what you like about the game, the ending was terrible.
i just wasnt into it i couldnt nothing made me wanna keep playing sorry
got that stupid comic book crap going great song great band shitty video
It's got nothing to do with Borderlands. It's part of the story of the comic book that went along with the two albums. Hence, it looks like a comic book...
Amazing!!! Can't wait to get HoGaB Pt 2.
Chad Kroeger calls this Nickelback lite.....yeahhh I'm not see it.
after Jims firing this band is really nickellite
That's just Chad seething about not have an oz of the talent corey taylor has. He has to cope somehow.
What a Chad
They do both much lighter, and much heavier, than Nickelback... and do both ends of the spectrum better than Nickelback does anything. Hell, Corey's even a better human being. Kroeger can go fuck himself.

yes lol great someone else watches it

who the fuck is jack nicholson? is he in this video?

Holy crap I feel like an ass I had no idea this was Stone Sour.
Don't feel bad. I was listening to stone sour long before I knew it was stone sour. I didn't know till I heard say you'll haunt me on the radio and recognized the voice and looked them up.
i love the colors! great video!
when youre going to loot the curch in dayz / exile
This video was posted in my birthday :)
Great Gift! Awesome Song!
theyve already used the bridge of this song in a previous song? wtf
its part of a two part themed album... its intentional to make it reminscent of previous installment. Just like with gone sovereign / absolute zero...
another example metallica's unforgiven 1 and 2
This follows the story so accurately, its exactly what i had imagined while reading it. This story is so relatable too. Iits badass, and thank you stone sour, especially Corey Taylor
Superhero landing 2:18
cky2kdunn You're damn right!
Such a cool song and video
feat Toninho do Diabo.*
This has to be one of my favorite songs!
This clip and the song reminds me the evil within 2 🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️ any one too?
I have the first album but I havn't read the story yet... Have to do that and also buy part 2!
why does this feel like a rob zombie movie?
Because of the zombies, most likely.
***** My comment was supposed to be a lame little pun. Guess it was too much lame and too little pun.
Stone Sour you are the best!!
The priest guy reminds me of the creeper from jeepers creepers
It reminds me Taylor Swift from Bart Baker parodies :'D but really
Best fucking album, concept, and design in 25 years! Great job guys. My favorite albums by a long shot. Thank you for bringing to life the inner struggles we ALL face within ourselves..
Rob zombie much?
If anyone was wondering, the words on the chair at the altar is Latin. It translates to English as "The House of Gold and Bones", the album name.

The zombies are part of Black John's army and he does not turn into his father at the end. The human has to make a choice, will he continue to live his life that has brought him here or make a change that he knows he has to make. The story ends without out us knowing the decision.
You got the church is evil out of this song?
Not actual zombies, But the representation of people who blindly follow a leader.
best music video ever!
