Can confirm, I'm glad to see the 20 year olds discovering Slipknot the way I did back in the day.
Known about them for years but never actually listened to them till a few months ago, honestly wish I got into them sooner.
My cousin introduced me to slipknot when I was 6. My first song was devil in I. I fucking fell in love with metal that very day. And have been headbanging to slipknot since, repeating all the albums
As a teen myself I wish I could've been a teen when they first began, it looks so fun at concerts and just everything at the time. I've only recently gotten into metal but I love it so much
I'm 26. Been a fan for 10 years!
im 19 and i just recently started listening to them, i love slipknot
That guy looks like a slim version of clown
oh gawd yeah :O
That is so true!! 👍👍
Or now....just clown
Jesus now I can’t unsee it
Omg he does lmao
Every guy: sitting with your legs crossed hurts your balls
Corey Taylor: hold my balls
Again?
Corey Taylor : I dont have balls sooo.
Corey looks like he hasn’t aged at all the last 12 years.
I see by your profile picture you're a man of culture
The devil worships him thats why
except the hair (so i am)
@@yannick338 no shit, many of people out there who is satanic, but they getting old so fast
I think he just take some "make up" on his face
It always blows my mind when people say what a douche Corey is. He’s easily one of the most interesting, humble dudes in the business.
But he is kinda douchey sometimes..
O.o
perhaps now. Even he'd argue otherwise if being honest about his past given the drug and alcohol abuse
people dont like honesty, which is just sad
SumireTV the "case" with Chris fehn which has yet to be proven true, he's "apparently" been an ass to fans back in mid or so 2000s but he was also fucked off drugs and always drunk then, there's a few more I can't really think of but other than that he's been pretty fun and nice to most people
Neck: 50 years old
Body: 20 years old
Legs: 10 years old
Its weird to see his head is bigger than his body
Ага, тоже ржал.
It was collected like Frankenstein)))
Necks atleast 57.....
Love a man with range.

Our memelord has spoken. Corey, you are a king
Agreed
Yes
Afuckinggreed
this didn't age well lol
Man, for how intense and brutal Corey can be, he sure is very humble and he has a pretty soft heart. Ya gotta love him!!
I like your style dude
Nah i think he just sociopath
@@Natures..Sacrifice how? He's so freaking soft and up in his feelings.
@@fe5018 yeah, right? Something tells me the guy who cries on stage playing Snuff isn't a sociopath....
@@brianwalendy3735, your comment reads sarcastic??
2 things i'd like Corey to appear on:
Joe Rogan Experience
&
Hot Ones
Omg yes!
The two doucheyist hosts of all time. No thanks
Hugh tube maybe sean evans but joe rlly??? wtf
@@grungeb0ii304 Joe can be a bit at times
@@Ottophil i dont watch Joe Rogan much at all but how is the hot ones host a douche?
That look on his face when he got the award is so amazing!!
I have NEVER seen cory Taylor actually lost for words and completely stumped during an interview ever through the history of slipknot. All I can say is well done kerrang, you actually managed to quite the loudest voice in metal and drive him close to tears.
“We’re not setting each other on fire...that much” lol I love Corey
Slipknot: For everyone
TikTok: for weird people, per Corey.
In China when we walking on street and hear someone watching Tik Tok.Normally we will assume that fuck-face has some problem with his/her mind😂😂😂😂
LPer查查 good china is better than the United States
He’s right tho....
Its shit
LPer查查 in China, you have.... ( ͡ʘ ͜ʖ ͡ʘ)
Corey's reaction to the hall award is pretty insane!. Slipknot for Life!. What an incredible band, been following since the start!.
It was so so sweet😩💓💫
Just the most genuine guy you'll ever meet!! That was an honest reaction!
Timmy Keane your a crusty dude then 😂
@@ethanriccio2344 so am I. ..hearing Wait and bleed on Kerrang all those years ago and been listening ever since
Such a humble dude. It got me emotional.
17:13 thats the iowa inner demon trying to escape you dont fool us anymore Corey!
lmaooo
He was a beast that era
I don’t see how that interviewer kept his composure. If that was me I’d laugh my ass off
@@CT-pv9gu He was young, drugged up, and wasted haha he's still a beast
California grew on him
Coreys tears of joy over a radio hall of fame induction made me love him even more. He deserves all the success he’s gotten
Wasn't planning on commenting on this video but after seeing Corey's reaction at the end, I have to say that Slipknot is way more important than people think and Corey does an incredible job steering the ship with Clown. Rock on, Corey!
Been a fan since 99 and will be a fan till the day I die. Will hopefully be taking my kids to their first Slipknot show (which will be their first concert) this summer! Slipknot forever!
@lucas jones Very doubtful. Even if tomorrow they put out a full on, by the book pop song, complete with a Justin Beiber cameo. I would still be a fan of their old stuff. So hence I would still be a fan.
Did you see the original full length demo cd's from 96 & 97 shared by Black Heart this week?!
/w\SLIPKNOT/w\
Went to see them in 2015 and 2019. They never disappoint. Hell yeah fam \m/-
Take me too
@@THRASHMETALFUNRIFFS I have not! Do you have a link?
Corey’s reaction to the award made me tears eyed. He’s such a genuine and humble guy.
Omg.... A lil before 25:33......I'm not crying your crying....😭😭😭😭 How sweet! Corey is such a humble and caring person. Man has a heart of gold i bet....🥲🥲🥲🥲
17:13 only Corey Taylor can make a burp sound like a metal scream 😂😂😂😂
“Xyyeeh... scuse me...”
I can make a sneeze sound like a metal scream. I am able to project it. So, I took that technique and applied it to metal screaming and it worked. It was a Mastodon ish viking yell. haha
i was wondering if that was more metal burp or more metal growl (scream), but i think corey wanted to do metal burp and metal growl (scream) both in the same time 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Love how humble and down to earth Corey is. And I think it's the first time in Corey's whole life that he's speachless, at - 25:03
Just love the fact that he's not afraid to show his emotions. It's really hard not to love him❤️
Get that man a table to put his coffee down
JAMES HETFIELD is The Table!
hahahahah
But what if it's actually hot tea?
@@Recovery-Dawg Probably Starbucks..
It could be tea everyone always presumes its coffee
That was very touching. I genuinely thought he was kidding around about being overwhelmed when they gave him that award at the end. So cool that it meant that much to him. Bless him, what a lovely man.
I could listen to Corey talk all day. He's such an interesting, down to Earth person.
This is why I love Corey Taylor he humbles himself and not afraid to show his emotions. Thats what makes him an amazing person and thats why he is very well respected as a musician. I love the fact how he gave Clown the credit that he deserves for having the vision of Slipknot. He doesn't take credit for anything he gives people credit for his success. He thanks fans he thanks bandmates.
I love how humble Corey is despite being in one of the most famous metal bands in the world and how he teared up at winning (yet another) Kerrang reward.
okay wow.. that surprisingly hurt to hear Corey talking about 'my pain', i didn't realise how aware he was of some of the things people have been saying, i remember hearing it for the first time as soon as the album was released, i cried my fucking eyes out and it instantly became one of my favourites from the album, it's such an incredible song, and at least for me it was so easy to connect with and understand, and i mean every single word, every single feeling.. like so many of slipknot/stone sours songs, it just feels so personal and it represented EXACTLY how i was feeling throughout a lot of 2018, the entirety of 2019 and still to this day to some degree, the song, and the entire album will always have a very special place in my heart :) and i'm so glad i was able to be here to experience it.
anyway, i've not even finished watching this interview yet but it's already been fucking incredible and been a great way to start the day, thank you Loz.
and thank you Corey, i fucking love you, long live the knot, we are not your kind \m/
I understand what the songs about I understand the aesthetic an the meaning it's just not a good song in my eyes
Awesome comment
Tyla Porrett-Ward what does “my pain” mean to you
@Lucas Novaes yeah that's true, i mean i remember Jim talking about the "lack of guitar solos" after hearing what some people had said, it just caught me off guard and surprised me a lil bit hahaha.
but oh yeah, social media can be fucking toxic and i decided to delete all of mine in march/april last year, and that's just me, i can barely even imagine what it's like for people like Corey, i was so glad when i found out that he was stepping away from it though
thats crazy buuut
46 years old? He looks and sounds younger than me, and I'm 29!
He kicking 50 in the ass ALL OF EM ARE well- except jay hes still in his 30's
The part when Corey started tearing up got me in the feelings.
Corey needs to get on the Joe Rogan Experience. BADLY.
Absolutely, they'd vibe off each other so well
Him and Clown. or even the whole band. Biggest issue with groups this big. You kinda wanna hear from everybody but the difficulty in managing any group with more than 3 or 4 people is high. lol
So Corey..... HAVE YoU EveR TrIED DMT?????
@@tylerbrown3516 I don't wanna laugh at that but that's hilarious.
Joe is a shill
I feel kinda sad and triggered that corey doesn't have a place to put his cup so he has to move it around
Georgios Dimopoulos Same.... Poor Corey
lol there is a floor right under him
Awww poor baby boy :(
Χαχαχαχα οντως
I think he was enjoying gesturing with the mug.
Seeing a humble human being being so touched by an award after a 20 yrs career is so awesome congrats to Slipknot you guys deserve it
I'm definitely a fan dating back to '99 and now I'm proud to say my 7yr old daughter is a fan.🤘
Corey looking like 2013 corey haha. I still miss his long hair tho.. He was getting close to the vol. 3 hair. But he looks happy and that's good.
2013? Dude looks the same since 1999 :]
@@DiskoKDiskoL Haha yeah true but I was more talking about the hair he has now, he had that in 2013 as well
Rick Grimes S5 is the same haircut than 2013? I thought it was, but not as long as in that year
Rick Grimes S5 his hair is shaved from the back as in 2018 or just the sides shaved?
@@bmg.covers8002 Sides only. At least what i've seen from other photo's and vids.. it's his hair but I liked it better when it was longer last year. I hope he grows it back
Corey's reaction to receiving that award was absolutely priceless. It truly shows how grateful he is for the life he's lived, and the things he and the rest of the band have achieved. Very cool.
People just forget that slipknot are not just a band. They are really humble gentlemen. Really humble.
I really appreciate the respect he has for Corey and the band, I haven’t seen many of his interviews but he seems to respect Slipknot and I like seeing people who may not fully understand something but respect what it stands for and what it means to people.
Corey is so humble! He has always been so polite and professional. He is one of last REAL musicians out there and he and his band members proof that rock is not and will NEVER be dead!!! 🤘🤘
but uhh slipknot doesnt play rock music ... ROCK music is dead
@@0613-j4d I would love to agree since I listen to some rock aswell but I dont dare go too far from metal genres because nowadays rock is starting to blur its borders with pop
Corey has stated a lot of things about the american president and let me tell you, a person like him can influence a lot of people. You can't be professional and talk so open about pollitics on tv.
@@nocturnal03 yep. Millionaire hating millionaires and they say they're our level. I love Corey but musicians and entertainers can't pretend they know what's best for the USA while they themselves negatively contribute to 75% of the social issues.
@@MisterDevos you don't seem to get that my comment was laughing at the guy randomly bringing up Trump, showing how Trump Derangement Syndrome is a disease afflicting the people who adore him as well. ;)
Doesn't matter if you're a plumber, doctor, store clerk or musician/actor, you're allowed to voice your opinions. People flock to youtube "political influencers" and fund their patreons just to hear opinions they agree with lmao, so why couldn't anyone else with an internet connection, using social media, or being interviewed say what they think? People just get butthurt because you don't share his views.
Corey will forever be my hero. He is one of the biggest metal vocalists in the world and is still so down to earth. 🤘🏻
God I fucking love Corey, his reaction to getting that award just warms my heart
Awww Corey's reaction when he got that award kills me. It's heartening to see how much he cares after all this time. Also the new album is incredible ugh. Can't wait to see them in Keynes!!
I remember getting IOWA from HMV when I was about 10 years old in 2002.. what a long way Slipknot has come
I remember you
Corey, if you're seeing this, I'm one of those a long time fans you're talking about lol I'm from the UK, I've been listening to Slipknot, collecting all your merch, t-shirts, CD's/DVD's etc for as long as I can remember!
Now I'm living in Japan and I can't wait to see you guy's at Knotfest here in Japan next month.
All the recognition you're getting is well deserved, and Yes please, make those NECA figures happen, I'm an big action figure collector myself and I need Slipknot figures in my life.
Agreed i need those action figures too! Reach out to Hot Toys
Corey’s been holding that cup of coffee for 20 long minutes that made me think why anyone didnt notice him looking at it for quite a long time where he would put it.
I remember being 18 years old in 1999, Portugal, and buying the album of this crazy new band called Slipknot that I loved so much since the first time I've listened. And man, I was so mad that I couldn't find the first edition of the album containing "Purity" and "Frail Limb Nursery" because i did have the chance to buy that first edition earlier, why the hell did I wait for near Xmas time? XD
Been a fan all those years!
The fact Corey still gets choked up getting any sort of award now melts my heart. I've only seen Slipknot once in 2019. Even though its tamer than what they were doing 20 years ago, they put a lot of theatrics into their performance and their playing is on point. I hope I live long enough to see them inducted in the Rock n Roll hall of fame some day. Corey is a hell of a front man and his band mates are top notch musicians🤘
What I love about Corey is his humbleness and he’s so articulate. He really delves into detail and loves to talk, you can get a sense that he would be great to have at the dinner table for a deep conversation or even on the piss!
Corey’s reaction to the award shows how much music and Slipknot and everything related to that means to him, what a legend and deserved award 🤘🏻
What a reaction to receiving the band's award, that's why the fans love Corey, he's as real and honest as it gets!
I thought the title said he is close to leaving the band, almost had a heart attack
555666 retrospectively speaking about the past. He’s still kickin
Please click here says fox news lol..Cory is addicted to the knot he isnt going no where!!!!!
I was about to push my fingers into my eyes 😉😂
ㅤㅤღنورღ he looked great in 2015
to be honest. Corey leaving Slipknot, would push Slipknot to a next level. Right now Slipknot is a Coreyshow. Without him and a new singer with new energy it could move this hole thing to the next level
"I do, yes. I have someone who manages my madness"
*my mind immediately triggered into LIBERATE MY MADNESS on que*
IOWA MOOD ACTIVATED
SAMEEE😂
@@Drunkcat008 only it ain't from fucking Iowa...
That was such a lovely moment when the interviewer told Corey that Slipknot was inducted into their hall of fame. It means so much to him and he deserved that moment because he puts honesty, heart and soul into his music. That was unexpected; I'm glad I watched the whole video.
What a fucking great human being Corey is, what an amazing reaction to that little plaque. Absolute legend.
When he starts to tear up at the Kerrang award ♥ You can see how much it meant to him to be receiving that. He's so down to earth and intelligent as hell; that and his music and singing voice are reasons why I love Slipknot and Corey Taylor so much. I've been binge watching interviews of his all morning😂
He is the king 😭👑7 years listening to them,slipknot forever❤️🤘🏻24:58 awwww his face when he gave him the radio hall of fame thing,he is so precious he deffinetly does not take his fame or his band for granted at all he appreciates everything👑👑
Awe man...his reaction to that award killed me...that must have been so overwhelming. What a humble man.
It is still amazing how Slipknot after 20 years how they still growing
I remember when I first heard them in the summer of '99 or 2000 either/or, a friend bought metal hammer magazine and it came w/ a CD and the '9' where on it with ''Spit it Out'' and he played and I was like WTF is this? turn if off I can't stand it anymore, lol. Anyway the more I heard them the more I got 'maggot-ized' thanks SlipKnoT you helped me into the metal genera \,,/
It’s amazing to see Cory so humbled when he receives the hall of fame cert. Cory Taylor is a rock legend
Clowns vision is what makes slipknot successful thro the years! I LOVE CLOWN
Crazy arse insane guy on stage but also a wonderfully sensitive guy too. Great video 😊😊
24:40 got me little choked up. That’s Awesome! Been a huge fan since 99 🤘🏻
So humble, it seems hes constantly astounded that people love and appreciate his music. I adore him. Saw slipknot that very night, one of the greatest nights of my life no joke. Great work
I was at the Astoria gig. Still have my ticket & t-shirt. One of my all time favorite gigs.
Corey is so modest,You and the band deserve it and more, Slipknot is the band of this century, nobody else comes close, Outside The Nine, Forever
Thank you slipknot for helping me wiv my social anxiety back im my teens still amazing to this day 😲
Corey needs to narrate my life.. That voice.. The darkness between Slipknot and the lighter Stone Sour.. It really connects with the duality of my emotions.
SkeletonArmy666
Need a Morgan Freeman/Corey Taylor dual narration ...
His reaction to the award is incredible . Love this man an love this band
I love this fucking guy. I'm 32 and I've been a die hard fan since Iowa. I hope for many more years to come 🤘👺🤘
Remember them back in the early 2000's. I was like no way will this guys voice last the way he abused it.
20 yrs later....
I’m 27 and really just getting into slipknot now. Fucking love them
if they ever split up i will actually cry and never stop
I remember first reading about Slipknot in a Maxim magazine. In a howitzer, on a field training exercise, in Germany as a young soldier back in the late 90’s. Now here we are in 2020 and WE’RE ALL OLD! Thanks for all the great tunes that I blew up sh*t to.
that might be the understatement of the century " 20 year kings of live metal" how many times have you heard people say " slipknot actually sounds better live" i remember having the iowa live album and it's just so much more enjoyable. no one else even comes close. i mean i havent been a fan of the new album but slip knot has always brought the energy and never cheaps out on a performance. i may not agree with coreys politics and such but he seems like a good dude and is a great musician. keep rocking
after hearing eyeless for the first time, i knew i'd never have to listen to another metal band ever again. it was just that good, and we the fans have aged and evolved with the band so they are still reflecting our experiences as we all grow up together.
Went too see him that night in Birmingham, what a gig!
Indeed, saw them during Iowa tour at the NEC many moons ago and it was my wife's first slipknot show. She loved it!
In the late 90s I can vividly remember standing in line after school waiting for the busses and my friend wearing a slipknot shirt, I can remember thinking who the hell are these crazy ppl in the masks...my friend let me listen to his CD player on the bus and from that point on I've been a fan... there's been bands I've liked then didn't care for over time, I'm 32 now and still love slipknot just as much as I did back then and it's awesome they are still going 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
If Corey got glassed in the neck in a bar fight or something, he'd probably be ok
Thickest neck I’ve ever seen. Thicker neck than an NFL linebacker. He could out neck wrestle the Rock.
thats not how it works he would neck the glass.
i am the 99's dude who still alive and waiting till today..thank god we could be able to see for the first time in Indonesia this march, so happy about it!.....dream come true to see my big inspiration in music.....even tho i play pop punk
Iowa was one of the best albums period...

This is the Exact Reason Corey Taylor, Clown & The Rest of The Knot, Deserve All the Respect!!! Awesome to have that Big of Heart for Fans... #Respect
One of my biggest dreams, has been to see Slipknot live but still haven't been able to due to finances, no vehicle, etc. That said I have been a loyal fan for a very long time, since their self titled album, hell even have them tattooed. Love the band, energy, & helping me thru so much in my lifetime, with their music. hopefully one day I will get to see them. Long live the Knot! \m/
I hope you get to go, man! Everyone should experience that feeling of finally seeing your favourite band live for the first time
Why do you have to be so negative? You don't even know the guy; maybe he has more pressing priorities. Don't assume that everyone has the same opportunities and circumstances as you. We should be creating an atmosphere of mutual passion, support for each other and love of music.
@@ryanjones6127 also, Slipknot doesn't play the same spot EVERY YEAR. sometimes they show up when financial trouble come and it's a lose lose situation :( and next thing you know, your waiting for years for them to hit a local spot
@@Diversagon Exactly, well said 👍
Thanx folks to all that responded to my comment. I'm not asking for hand outs or anything, just life has it tolls, so was telling my story is all. Regardless if I get to see them or not. I will continue to love & support Slipknot, first band to ever get me into metal. Sure my taste in metal has evolved over the years but I respect music/artist more now than I ever did. For those that think (I'm making an excuse for not seeing them, not everyone is fortunate as others), that said I wish everyone the best of luck & the chance to see them one day!
Man Corey’s reaction got me in the feels ❤️
gotta be honest I miss Corey on Social media
Yeah, me too. I had once a discussion with him about hair styles (jokingly, of course). Some other guys were really pissed off because I was confronting Corey Taylor on Instagram.
But I also get it, that shit is toxic if you can't handle it.
Due to his extreme TDS he was probably paid a visit by the Secret Service to have a little chat about his tweets. Believe me, I read his Twitter and there's nothing but negativity towards Trump and Bill Barr. Quite a few of those tweets/retweets looked defamatory/borderline seditious and I bet he was told to knock it off and given a couple choices.
1. Stay off social media.
2. Pay a hefty fine.
3. Serve jail time.
Guess which option he took.
Rebel Fighter nah, I think it was the harassment his wife was getting so they both took a step back.
@@rebelfighter5249 lol
Rebel Fighter
No such thing as TDS. He IS exactly what they say he is. That’s not TDS.
I was not expecting that segment at the end and Corey’s reaction aww 🥺 it was so awesome to see. He’s so genuine and humble❤️ They deserve it and have earned it all❤️❤️❤️✨
I think it's safe to say they've become a legacy band. In the vain of Iron Maiden, Rammstein etc. They have certain set pieces that are present every show but also have elements that evolve with every tour.
Awwww....you made him tear up....that's kinda awesome!! Love Slipknot!!!
I love how so many people are leaving comments thinking Corey is gonna see them. This is just an interview. It's not Slipknot's channel.
Absolutely love slipknot saw them in Sheffield this year and still rocking hard after all these years keep going for all the maggots world wide!
I about lost it when Corey got that 20 year award. I was in shock and awe with Corey.
#MakePaulGrayProud
The first Slipknot record was intense and thundering! Hardly anyone knew who they were in 1999! Now Corey is an icon. Haven’t been able to out-do that first album! Hard to believe they’ve held the band together for this long! Awesome!
I love the HUGE content drops by Slipknot of the last week or so.
I want to see CMFT and Mike Patton collaborate.
sydIRISH Patton needs to get together with Corey, for sure. What they'd make... nobody knows!
Mike Patton would probably teach Corey to sing opera.
Did you see the original full length demo cd's from 96 & 97 shared by Black Heart this week?!

THRASH METAL & FUN RIFFS link?
@@jsleazy5838 I can't find it now, like the whole channel disappeared even from my history?!
Thank the gods you guys made more music, Slipknot music has pulled me out of my Dark place many times!
24:06 hey i was alive and i wasat the O2 and im not a crusty old dude lol. I laughed so much at that and then i cried with him. Hes one of the only people not just here but at his solo shows even a Slipknot gig that can make you laugh one minute and cry the next. Love this man and the band
Nooooooo, never quit and hope they keep on making new music. I'm 47 and love the bands performance.
There's a fleck on the wall right above Corey's head and for the longest time I thought it was a speck on my phone. (Madly trying to clean that spot didn't do anything.)
Props to the interviewer for not interrupting and letting him talk until he’s done. Great interview.
my heart will break so much if he leaves slipknot. he’s my favorite vocalist ever and hes perfect for slipknot. i love stone sour but slipknot wins my heart😭
Corey is such a down to earth dude...glad they've held it together for so long.
Fantastic interview and presentation at the end. Corey really seems like a great person.
I love us Stone Sour work. The guy has serious vocal talent. I was stunned. Getting the hall of fame,, the look on his face, classic.
