    The best part about this music video is that the band got word out that they were doing a music video, and any fans of the band that could get to that area should head over there and they could be part of it. Those people are all fans of the band that all got to go to what was probably the most intense live show ever. It's the most expensive video that record label has ever made too. Wish I was there.

    and a new metal head clawed his way out of the womb, ready to headbang in inappropriate places, drink beer like it's going out of fashion and where leather like it's the apocalypse. He looks around, slightly confused at first, until he hears a double bass and warped chords in the distance. He stands up with some difficulty and starts shuffling off towards the concert, practicing his moshing along the way.

    Best Lyrics, best video, one of the best multi-talented bands of all time. Very underrated band. Anger is one of the most natural emotions we experience as humans, though we are told time after time to never ever express it, keep it locked away, hold it in. Through music like this, I get so much anger out of my system just by listening to people who are screaming out their feelings at the top of their lungs. It's very emotional, symbolic and therapeutic.

Ha Ha Ha!!! And there were a lot of brotha's and sista's getting down to Downward Spiral (Nine Inch Nails was about as Headbanger as most of us get.) Ha Ha! And don't forget that one hit wonder "Cult of Personality" from Living Colour! - Plus in 2006 I was introduced to a genre called "Screamo" with a band named Underoath. - - - Alright alright... I better shut up about all my Gen X memories or we'll end up singing the Mtv Unplugged version of Lithium. Ha Ha!

    ‘Duality’ is from Slipknot’s third album, ‘Vol.3: the Subliminal Verses’. Corey Taylor (the vocalist) intentionally wrote the entire album curse-free, because his songs are usually so filled with them, critics believed he couldn’t write without cursing.
    As the above might suggest, I’m one of the metalheads this video brought in. I really like your high energy, and your willingness to branch out to genres you normally don’t go to impressed me. I am now subscribed.

    You should check out some Slayer "Raining Blood" for a non- beginner type of Heavy Metal. By the way, I'm 52 and have been listening to Metal since the 70's. So, not all "old" people are as lame as you may think...

    Hey Alex! :)
    I've been here, watching your metal / rock reactions for the past few months (yep, true metalhead, can't deny it) .. basically by accident ^^ .. but I love 'em! Your positive energy really makes my day everytime. Especially during these hard times right now, that's a real help for the mood .. I can tell you :D .. so first of all: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
    So .. besides liking and subscribing, I thought I'd give you a special treat by recommending something, that you'll probably have never even heard of ;)
    I'm from Germany .. and here we have a very special metal band, who are doing something honestly spectacular in my eyes ..
    THEY ARE DOING A'CAPELLA METAL o.O!!
    That means, apart from a drumset, they are not using a single instrument besides their voices :D
    And from my personal experience I can tell you, basically nobody believes this until they have seen them live .. because they make it sound so real at times, that it's just unbelievable ^^
    The band is called "Van Canto", they are doing a lot of covers of original metal songs, but they have their own creations as well which they don't need to hide under their covers (pun intended)!
    As a hardcore fan since the beginning, it's really hard to choose a song for you to react to, but I could at least limit myself to three ^^ .. so you can choose for yourself:
    1. Badaboom (ua-cam.com/video/Aeaz4s7q0Ag/v-deo.html) .. one of their most famous songs and a really nice video too. The guy you see first in the Video is actually a famous TV comedian from Germany who is also a big fan of them, so they included him to play the role of the evil super villain in the video ^^
    2. If I die in Battle (ua-cam.com/video/-f8V1QSf7yg/v-deo.html) .. also a great song, especially since it contans some of their finer guitar solo imitations which will probably blow your mind :D
    3. Hells Bells (ua-cam.com/video/BuahSIrKxw8/v-deo.html) .. a cover of the famous ACDC song from their most recent Album .. and a nice illustration of how you can rearrange real Metal songs into A'Capella :)
    No worries .. all the songs are english, so you won't have to worry about understaning the lyrics ;)
    I really hope you find this comment helpful and that you and your family are safe and healthy and stay that way for the foreseeable future :)
    Please keep up you spirits and your great work!

    I know I'm hella frickin late (doing a marathon, watching your reactions ha) and I just had to click on this video. The entire album (Vol.3) legit saved me from...let's say doing something bad to myself. I was in a very dark place back then, suffer from BPD and this was released just in time. Corey screamed it out for me, all the anger and the pain. They saved me and I love seeing others being hyped about those songs and the band in general. Love all your reactions, keep up the good work!

  • @xCelticSamura1x
    @xCelticSamura1x 5 років тому

    Duality takes me back, it was the first metal song I ever heard, and it was the song that started me on the path of a metalhead.
    Before my enlightenment, I only listened to rap and popular music, so the transition to metal was a journey I will never forget.
    Now I listen to everything, from classic orchestral to metal, (except most modern music, like mumble rap and modern pop).

  • @red_astr0382
    @red_astr0382 3 роки тому +3

    Metal is actually verry deep. Most of these songs have deeper meanings. Like you said, Duality is about ther... Well... Dualities in life that we all face. Its a genre that makes you think about the deeper meanings...

  • @marcusweaver9728
    @marcusweaver9728 6 років тому +58

    I’ve been a huge Slipknot fan since the beginning. I have no idea why Duality is so popular....not my favorite. My favorites in no particular order
    Eyeless
    Spit it Out
    Heretic Anthem
    AOV
    Custer
    The Blister Exists
    Sic

    • @seanpak5508
      @seanpak5508 5 років тому +18

      The reason why it's so popular is that it is more palatable for mainstream listeners. The song has more of a melody and the screaming is spaced out enough to not alienate people that aren't into the heavier sides of metal. While I do agree with you that there are many other songs by Slipknot that deserve more attention, it's pretty easy to see why Duality would appeal to the average listener more than something like Eyeless or Sic.
