The world will end the day that Corey Taylor says something simply to rhyme
Thank you
this here comment should be on the top of the ladder!!! You couldn't be more right.
Ameeeeeeen dude
trueee
Fr
The line “kill does not mean die” refers to how pop/hip hop “killed” the relevancy of rock/metal in the mainstream however it is not dead
PewDiePieee makes more sense
Fuck pop and hip hop. metal rules
@@luucid5734 My shit in the toilet this morning made more sense than every PDP video ever combined
I never thought of it that like that, i always thought of it meaning that just because you "kill" and idea doesnt mean that its dead. But hey just my opinion.
@@JH-pu4ly that's how I thought of it as well
Corey Taylor has been sober for years now he isn’t into drugs!!
People shouldn't talk about stuff they don't know shit about smh
RylanSkates what about my statement is incorrect? Corey Taylor has been sober for years! He is no longer into drugs obviously if he has been clean and sober for years!!
jlm10181978 I think he meant the people in the video
@@jlm10181978 I meant the pastor
RylanSkates cause it’s a reaction!!
"Kill does not me die" means you can kill something off but its never really dead like u can kill off the metal industry but its legacy and its impact on peoples lives is not dead that will forever live on
He’s actually not a violent person. This is a song about the music industry.
And also about how some of Slipknots fans are obsessed with the new stuff, and they forget the humble beginnings. Psychosocial is their most famous song, yet it is from all hope is gone which was their fourth album.
They're saying that just because we have newer music, doesnt mean the older stuff is dead and gone, and doesnt mean our newer stuff is the best.
@@BreechGamer This and the bit about the music industry. It's also a middle finger to those people who think Slipknot is a pop band all because of the fanbase they boast.
Gamer Squadrent Alpha i agree, i myself prefer the albums from before all hope is gone.
@@BreechGamer fuck yes man you couldn't have stated it more perfectly
Corey taylor was violent as fuck in his younger years lol
"Poor guy got left behind"
....He let it all slip away.
All my friends apparently have pictures that for some reason would make you cry
bro find me wrapped in glass and slowly soaked in lime
El Jefe oh my god I’m dead
I I G N O R E Y O U
Well I’ll still come towards you
I will say some wise words I heard from Marilyn Manson that I heard once "Useing profanity is sometimes necessary to put out a message specifically when your are mad or angry."
Unfortunate Death Marilyn Manson only used profound words in his music. Because he believes that profound words gets is meaning across better. However, he does not used profanity in normal conversation. Because it make anyone seem ignorant.
I'm cool with that as long as GD isn't used.
+Dalton Newman
I seriously hope by "profound" you meant "profane".

_God damn_
@@matthewgarcia2712 goddamn
Know that at one point the band had a massive drinking and drug problem. At one point they hated each other to the point it took like 3 months to get them all in the same room to make an album. They are all clean now and still killing it!
Corey has been clean from alcohol and drugs for 10yrs.And holds a 129 i.q....Author,movie director 2 bands,poet and overall genius!!!!
Jacki Vincent 129 is about average
Well he is very talented for sure. Not sure where you get 129 for an IQ or what test was taken but at 129 he basically is flirting with the genius level but not quite there. 150 is what groups like Menza look for to make out official
@@andrikaharris4114 129 is almost exactly half way between averave100 and genius150. Split the sums and 125 is the split.
Just fyi, to even apply to mensa you need an IQ of atleast 130. Side note: 100 is the US average.
@@andrikaharris4114 no that's borderline genius actually
Hey guys, I whole-heartedly respect your religious beliefs, and that your devotion to your God is something that a) gives you comfort, and b) gives you direction. That said, I think for the sake of really, actually grasping the meaning of the song, you may want to not rely so much on your knowledge of religion, because this is not in any way religious music, as you've already gathered. Let's start with a breakdown of what you're hearing.
"Kill does not mean die." -Well, obviously in a literal sense, it does. But this particular song is about the music industry. I don't personally understand exactly what this line is supposed to mean, but I would assume it has something to do with the life of a piece of music. Because something new has come along and 'killed' the old piece, that does not mean that the piece is actually 'dead.' People will still go back to it if it's a worthwhile piece. This ties into the "New does not mean best" line. People are so quick to try and find the 'next big thing' that they have a tendency to sweep some great things from the past under the rug, and just ignore it as if it doesn't mean anything anymore.
"Children are afraid of the gods." -In the context of a song about the music industry, to me, this seems like a jab at the really big names that don't actually put out music that means anything. The level of popularity is intimidating and may discourage people who don't want to listen to their music from listening to what they actually want to listen to. I know that I felt a lot of pressure when I was younger to listen to what was popular, even though I didn't want to. I listened to a lot of Slipknot in middle school, actually. This line may also speak to the level of maturity of listeners who are afraid to go against the grain, if you will.
You guys don't seem to have much faith in the way the song is written. "I'm guessing it just rhymes." Yes, it does rhyme, but those lines do mean something. Every single line is written with deliberate meaning. Corey is smarter than you're giving him credit for.
I don't want to completely write your eyes out so I'll sum up my thoughts as this. Don't rely so heavily on your beliefs that you miss the point of a song entirely. Not everyone is going to set out to speak the word of their deity, it's not always a spiritual thing. I also noticed that you guys have a tendency to take things a little bit too literally. A lot of the language is figurative, you can't really take it at face value. Corey wants you to think. Not to say that you guys aren't thinking about it, but I feel like you are expecting it to be more basic than it is. Also fun fact, more than one member of this band is religious. Christian, to be more specific. I don't know exact denominations, but that's not as relevant. Hit me up with your thoughts, I'm curious to know what you think of my ramblings. Have a great day!
Iscariot90 thanks for sharing The more I learn about this song the more I understand it’s meaning I am seriously impressed with it. It is a lot deeper than I gave it credit for.
Your observation on “kill does not mean die” and “children are afraid of gods” makes a lot of sense.
To be honest it seems I share the same views as they do regarding current mainstream music. Lol.
Making this video was fun and a learning experience for me. My goal was to learn more about the culture and so far I’ve learned more than I expected. I look forward to doing more videos.
@@roberthoughton7127 Yeah man, I definitely encourage you to keep delving into this stuff. If you check out another song by Slipknot, maybe go for something like The Devil in I, which was written about the passing of the former bassist Paul Gray, who unfortunately died of a drug overdose. Or, if you want to hear a different side of Corey, check out a song by Stone Sour called Through Glass, which happens to be another song about the music industry. Or anything by Tool. Just literally anything, lol.
As for the culture, in my experience, metalheads are some of the chillest, most friendly, and just generally cool people I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, regardless of race, religion, gender, or whatever other labels we like to box ourselves in with. Take care, guys. I'll be looking out for the next one!
@@iscariot90 Just uploaded a reaction video for A Perfect Circle - Judith. Not exactly Tool but close. lol ua-cam.com/video/G6NrxM6aIMM/v-deo.html
Wow, Iscariot90, well said. You saved me a lot of typing and did a much better job than I would have explaining it.
@Robert Houghton, you might find an interview with Corey interesting. He actually did a couple with Larry King that are kinda a fun watch (despite the heavy subject matter at points) because of the contrast between the two of them. One was a few years ago and the other a month or so ago.

If you decide to dive into more metal I'm sure you'll get swamped with requests. May help to either watch the lyric videos or pull up the lyrics to reference as you watch. Takes a bit to adjust to the unclean vocals for most people. Probably what turns so many off to the genre before they give it much of a chance.
Edit: You should check out August Burns Red. Great band IMO, and the members are all pretty outspoken about their faith. Might be a good jumping off point because they do use sort of spiritual imagery in their lyrics.
Ya
your maggot card has been denied.
LOL 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@@LucyLucy- You like the knot?
Brandon Yup. I’ve seen Slipknot live 4 times so far, hoping for a 5th this year because I NEED to see All Out Life live haha.
Assuming metal heads do drugs= dislike
Yes, that was so stupid.
I've met more people who are supposedly christian who've been to prison and do or have done drugs than metalheads 🤷♀️😂
@@specialopssoldier1 You can't generalise a massive portion of the population. Some metalheads do drugs, as do some Christians. Some metalheads are completely anti-drug, as are some Christians. However, I think you'll find that most fall somewhere in the middle (and by drugs, I am including things like alcohol, tobacco and caffeine, I'm not necessarily talking about meth or heroin before someone decides to jump the gun).
Everyone does something...at some point in their life.
Grayson Rice heart failure.
I will not celebrate mediocrity
I will not worship empty shells
I will not listen to worthless noises
I will not subject myself to selected predictable choices
Corey is talking about the modern music industry and how repetitive it is, how stuff that is swallowed by the masses are mass produced to make as much money as possible, and how less popular music genres are judged as worse just because the big corporations can't squeeze as much money out of it.
You sir are right,,,
Nah they. Need to listen to holy wars they will and I mean WILL use there Jesus info that know body cares about
Or it's referring to Christian rock.
I actually find this a really inspirational video apart from the obvious (and intended) meaning, that line "I will not subject myself to selected predicable choice" has changed my life...
I think they talk about the new lgtbq, Bilderberg agenda .
I respect your religious views, but it seems it distort your perception of nonreligious things. There's nothing religious about this song
I disagree. It became religious when he used God's name to express disgust.
@@roberthoughton7127 No it didn't, it is simply a swear word, as a christian myself I have no problem with it as the context is whats important. If I say goddamn about something religious then it is wrong but it matters about the context. Its the same way if I used allahs name and you were muslim.
False dichotomy. The compartmentalisation of things into "religious" vs "secular" is an 18th century invention to enable bourgeois control and amoral business and political decision-making, and the alienation of people from spirituality so that addictives can be marketed in place of it, and ultimately so that spirituality itself can be commodified and repackaged to people as a range of products for sale, rather than an intrinsic part of yourself which cannot be bought (as grace cannot be bought).
Kaktoszy your not suppose to use gods name in vain? That would be against your beliefs to do so
Amaze the gius got his own perspective on life that he maybe grew up in. Maybe hes not close minded maybe it's just all hes ever know. Dont come and attack the guy for having an opinion
So it’s okay to use other people’s gods as a swear word as long as it’s not yours 🤔
Doesn’t make a whole lot of sense lol
Classic open mindedness there
Hypocrisy much??
Yeah that’s what happens when you’re brainwashed
The Bible says to not use God’s name in vein. It’s not that we take offense to it, it’s that we really shouldn’t do it. Not hypocritical if you know what you’re talking about.
Comeback? SLIPKNOT never left. They are the Gods of metal!
Happy to share a name with you
Take it easy big guy
Dylan Thompson correct mate he is
That's a stretch. I mean, they're amazing, but I wouldn't call them the gods of metal.
Let us not pretend they have a lot of shitty songs after Iowa, come on.
No actually mr. Preacher Man you are wrong Corey Taylor is not a violent person the song is actually about the music business today
Thanks for your comment. I don't know Corey Taylor and commented around 8:22 that he apparently doesn't like violence. But based on a video with people thrashing around covered in blood I have to wonder if he's being consistent. With very few exceptions a majority of blood is recovered through violence of some kind especially the quantity shown in the video (obviously it's not real blood but an artistic representation). He may not be violent as an individual but he is presenting it symbolically through his video and condoning it through moshing at shows. I've been in a mosh pit once, IT WAS VIOLENT!
@@roberthoughton7127 are you a communist
@@roberthoughton7127 mosh pits have a sense of community. It's rough but the aim is not to hurt one another. If someone falls down you pick them up. It's simply enjoying the passion of music together
Zeke Dimblebee that’s pretty good insight. Helps me understand the visuals of the song a little better. Thanks. But you could imagine what it “looks” like to the outsider, right?
@@roberthoughton7127 but that's why people shouldn't assume or look at things from a focal point of view, it's too superficial. Rather experience it first before judging
Listen to "The Heretic Amthem" by Slipknot, I'm sure you'll love it.
UnknownImages lol right
please lol
Big oof
Another hate fueled track metaphorically about the music industry. Most record companies didn't want to sign Slipknot at first because it was too heavy for their liking. Hence where "if you're 555 then I'm 666" comes from
Lmfao
Research the songs beforehand! He wrote this against the music industry :)
They specifically don’t research they just go by the lyrics as seen from a Christian perspective! They take everything very literally!
Comeback song?! Uh hunny, Slipknot never left 💁🏻♀️
Comeback song?? Haha bro they never went anywhere. Theyve been kicking ass for years lol
Your comment made me think of the famous line from LL Cool J - Momma Said Knock you out, "Don't call it a comeback! I've been here for years.." lol
Their last album was in 2014 and the media has been calling it a comeback song. JORDAN DARVILLE from Fader calls it a "comeback." www.thefader.com/2018/11/02/slipknot-all-out-life-music-video
Just because they won't mass produce garbage every other week doesn't mean its a comeback. Its only a taste of what's to come....
Bo0nd0ck Games I agree sooo much.. when I heard that I got offended slipknot will forever be known...
@- RumbleKid umm where you been lol when you have as many posts in the fire as these guys I'm sure they have a hard time putting a album out every other yr. Their last album killed it so they ain't coming back from anything
Not a comeback song a reminder we aint going nowhere lol
This song is about the sad state of the current music industry. So my interpretation The crazy looking on the bus represent the “band wagon” that believe music is only good for a month and then it’s dead and played out. The people in black represent the record labels who pretty much control the masses however they want by just pumping out terrible single after terrible single after terrible single. The people on the floor are literally begging for more and more out of these labels. And then the blood being rained on them is the actual meaningless/thoughtless singles themselves being manufactured solely to sell for a few months then disappear due to having no substance
That’s pretty much what I took from it
That's deep
The fact he thinks corey just said things so it could rhyme actually disappoints me
Edit: The more I watch, the more annoyed I get that they're missing the points of the song just because of their faith smh
Cthulhu Watu then again you chose to watch a video where a pastor reacted to a metal song. This shouldn’t have been a surprise. But yeah it kinda does get annoying that they miss the point
@@moses4881 Not all pastors are like this, In fact my cousin is one and he loves metal. I just meant that it sucks he's the type that is like this, especially since I rather enjoy his content
To be fair, they've definitely gotten better over time. Less taking things at face value and more research.
@@illana8642 Yeah that's true, they have gotten better
"his definition of living all out life is probably filled with anarchy, violence, and drugs..." Wow, judge not yet ye be judged much dude.
Theorizing and judging are different things. Judging is deciding something from authority and condemning with that same authority and power. Just theorizing about someones lifestyle isn't judging as far as I can tell from the Bible.
“If you kill something, by definition it is... dead”. The irony of this coming from a Christian is really funny to me.
Godly
A Christian not understanding dying doesnt mean you can not live on... SMH
Arquimedes Quintero Hahahahahah Nice one
Danm gotum! Hah
Zombie Jesus lives on
This song is about the crap music that’s getting put out and everyone seems to love now and that’s drives him/me crazy
Slipknot is one of the best to do music. Better then anything on the pop side.
This is music dude. This Requires actual skill and talent compared to modern music.
i agree with you, finally a good comment here
Jeffery Gorski oh we have a butt rock fan in the building
Chuck Sawdy butt rock?
"We are not your kind"
As i see it hes saying "we shall not follow your trends. We wont do it because its popular. I dont care if you disagree with me. I am my self. We are not your kind because we are our own kind
You say "I recommend not filling your head with this stuff" yet the genre of heavy metal and slipknot alone tells truth in the music and gives the audience of feeling like they belong. Therefore, a lot of people that are bullied in school because they're "different" feel secure when listening to this type of music and specifically slipknot. With that being said this music actually has a positive side, your'e just too brainwashed to understand that.
But yet recommends to follow a fictional book
See, I don't believe. Very much not religious. However, the fact that the video was made at all was a big sign that, though they believe in a deity, they are willing to open up and hear things out.
Brainwashed people just deny deny deny. They don't give a chance to new things. So props. And seeing how they've grown over time... They're doing well.
"slipknot alone tells truth in the music"
Lol.
"IF YOU'RE 555 WE'RE 666!"
I actually don't hear the lyrics I only like drums and guitar
@@ganondorfchampin Look into the meaning of those lyrics, dumbass.
Not everything is religious
When he said kill does not mean die is wrong, this song is about music, if you (for the most part) kill off music with other music, it’s not dead to everyone so that line holds some truth especially with the topic of the song
Also “Children are afraid of the gods” doesn’t refer to actual religious gods but musicians that have been considered gods and that the current youth generations don’t listen to them. I mean I’m a junior in high school. I can confirm that part at least.
Slipknot is one of the only heavy metal bands that is entirely sober and their metal is nothing anyone else's so know your stuff before you start throwing shade.
They are sober now, but they used trip on stage and shit
They are now sober! But Paul Gray died of a drug overdose!
@@jlm10181978 Prescription drugs. You make it sound like he OD'd on heroin. Also his physician settled out of court with his family and is now banned from practising because it transpired that he knowingly prescribed Gray with hig dose prescription narcotics (morphine) when Gray was a known former drug addict.
Daniel Prudhoe so he died from an OD on prescription drugs! That makes it better than if he died from heroin? Either way he died from a drug overdose!!
@@jlm10181978 Yes. But his physician shouldn't have been giving him access to those drugs with him being an ex-addict. We also don't know his mental state at the time.
This guy and his outlook has changed so much over time listening to different works and how much it has opened his mind is actually quite cool to see.
You used the lyrics so literally at points in the song. Most of these lyrics apply to the music industry
trying to analyze the lyrics but taking everything literally?
oh my god exactly. This is so fucking frustrating
They're more worried about cursing in the song than everything else in it
So fucking annoying how he was like maybe it rhymes with the next line.
Love watching these idiots making fools off themselves by trying to "relate" to metalheads 🤦♂️ not everything in the world pertains to you and your religion narcissist.
IQ : religious
Hey there, how about a reaction to Slipknot's new song 'Unsainted'?
Yes please
They have now. Lol
Im gonna listen to slipknot 24/7 now because you said not to fill my head with ther music 😂
Yeah it's like telling a toddler not to do something and you don't tell them why and they makes them curious so they want to do it even more
Is it just me or does every youth pastor have the exact same accent?
I watch these videos because it's good excersize for the facial muscles.
Anyone else roll their eyes every time these two trying to shoehorn relgious idealogy in to the Slipknot songs that aren't religious?
Corey himself made a it a point to let people know this song is about the sad state of music, that it's stagnant, massproduced and based on fads and trends.
This song doesn't give half a flying fuck about whatever religious beliefs you want to fling at it.
They tried saying, the heretic anthem, isn't anti church.... 😔
"Try a different god like Allah." Its only ok to attack a god if it isn't my god. Cool
As a Christian it's still stupid to me on so many levels.
@@sharoonaftab8894 and I respect you for that
Just enjoy the lovely music dude.
Funny how so many people watched it but no one's really talking about it
God*
If you take Slipknot on literally you will never understand. Lots of metaphors.
Speaking of “that guy got left behind..” check out that song. Left Behind by Slipknot.
You should do the song Bother by a band called Stone Sour. It’s the same singer as Slipknot but it’s wayyy different.
Yeah the StoneSour stuff is very different.
Rent Treznor lol
Robby Ray Rana this needs to happen!!! Bother is a very powerful song in a completely different way than this song 💖
Through glass by stone sour
Also Jim Root plays for Stone Sour aswell my guy
A great representation of Corey Taylor's voice is in "Duality" Been listening to these guys since the 90's
This guy should read some of Corey Taylors books to get sense of who he is
I think what he meant by “kill does not mean die” is that if something or someone is killed your memory of that thing or person or there reputation doesn’t die.
-REESE - 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
One song you might enjoy of theirs is Snuff. It is one of my favs and is a very slow song for slipknot, its more a Stonesour song really.
I'm intrigued. I added it to the list of songs we will react to.
@@roberthoughton7127 The Live acoustic one is great, on that one its just him. Its an excellent song about loving someone who does not love you back.
Isn’t Allah the exact same dude as the biblical God?
Yup
Yes
Nahh
@@quantum_net219 it's the same..
Desert cult gods*
Slipknot The Heretic Anthem is a must it would be cool to see you dissect the lyrics
Oh man ctfu
Corey has made a huge family and when he says we are not Your Kind what it means is we’re different from other people trying to break up our family and it means they can’t break us apart slipknot has helped me get through the toughest times of my life slipknot may be chaos but slipknot is a therapy for me
As a Christian I appreciate the opportunity you offer. Seeing that most people down people with any tattoo's or where to look down on anyone who might be in church every Sunday, but I like Slipknot always have the music has gotten me with the help of God threw very tough times. I have suffered from addiction and several bad toxic relationships. Seeing a pastor with an open mind is rare in my opinion. I personally avoid songs that takes the Lord's name in vain. But I believe that you are free in christ not free from christ
Proverbs 16:28 shouldn’t say things about people you aren’t absolute about. Corey is an ex alcoholic and the man has been sober for many years to state who he is or what he does without knowledge isn’t a very kind thing to do my friend. I would suggest if your going to do reaction videos being knowledgeable about a person or refraining from saying things that could be taken as hateful sinful or misleading. What else would the Bible say about possibly spreading rumors or sharing untruthful information. Respect to your beliefs. Or just don’t randomly state someone is into drugs bad karma my friend. There is a very large story on Corey’s struggles with addiction and who and how he was able to come out of that.
You make a good point here. Not sure exactly what I said but I'll have to go back through the video and see but you are correct. I shouldn't make assumptions about people's character. In the future ill do my best to refrain from such comments unless I know them to be factual. Im glad he was able to become sober. I've been sober for 14 years. I know the struggles 1st hand. Thanks for your comment and your admonition.
You state that his life is “filled with anarchy violence and drugs”. Might wanna look up what an anarchist actually is.
@@roberthoughton7127 Amen. Do remember that by uploading videos you are a broadcasting, not only to the body of Christ but to non-believers and also ex-christians. Do yourself a favour and do some research on the past on the singers, or have the co-host chime in with facts relevant to understand the lyrical perspective.
Being mindful when communicating to a mixed crowd is key.
It is not uncommon for artists to have a troubled past. In America it's not unlikely they come from some kind of household with a christian upbringing; which usually differs, and might be more strict then loving.
And some might have been abused by clergy or people in leadership positions. This might be what colors their view on what constitutes being a follower of Jesus.
Other then that, I like you liten to contemporary music and give theological response to social and theological claims in songs. Right on!
härjaren Langstrumpf thanks for the constructive criticism. Your input is well received.
I’ve learned so much since I started this. And It’s only been a week! Lol. I hope to improve as I go but I assume I’ll still make mistakes along the way. Thanks for your comment.
Most religious people I know are judgmental. Most non-religious people i know are not. Curse words are the most ridiculous thing.
@14:21 “That guy got left behind”
OG slipknot fans know the reference
why
You are a great man and what I love is that you want to relate to your students and not making them be the way you want them to be. You talk about things in philosophical ways and use your beliefs to back those points up which is truly inspirational. Rock on dude 🎸🤘. Greetings from the UK 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
The lead singer Corey Taylor is an Atheist. He's openly admitted it. But he has no problem with people having their own faiths (so long as they don't try to force it on another person after that person says that they aren't interested in it and then after a person says that they aren't religious or Christian they're told that they will go to Hell etc.) As for the rest of the band I'm not sure what they believe. But Corey has stated numerous times that they aren't a satanic band. A lot of people think they are because of some of the lyrics (and a song called "The Heretic Anthem" where the choirs of the song is "If you're 555 then I'm 666! What's it like to be a Heretic?!!" I'd actually be interested in seeing your take on that song. It's actually about how his genre of music is treated in the music industry) but those type of lyrics are more symbolic and metaphorical of being viewed as an outsider because he doesn't follow the typical lifestyle of "normal" society and isn't a religious person so a lot of people around him while growing up in Iowa dubbed him as a Satan worshipper or just another dredge of society for being an outcast. Slipknot does not condone or promote violence. They sing about it sometimes but it's metaphorical. They do not want their fans to do any of the things that would be considered violent in their lyrics. They actually want their fans to use the music they make to purge their "demons" and use it to get through the hard times in their lives. They're about making it easier for people who feel like they don't fit in to the stereotypical mold of society and having something they can feel a part of with like-minded people. They've become a culture of exceptance for the disenfranchised of the world. Slipknot statistically takes a four year break (the longest being six years but that was a rough time for them. They lost their bassist Paul Gray (may he RIP) and not that long after their drummer started having complications due to a disease that affected his spine so he wasn't in the band anymore. They had to decide wether they would continue on or call it a day.) between albums and a lot of the members (there are nine of them!) do side projects on their "off" time or are in other highly successful bands, the most obvious being Corey Taylor's original band Stone Sour which is the band he actually left to join Slipknot he and got back together after Slipknot put out two highly successful albums and had toured relentlessly so they needed a break (there was even talk of breaking up because it was brutal the way they toured their first album and then imediatly wrote the second and went back out and toured that one.). This song All Out Life is going to be on their upcoming sixth album that is rumored to release sometime this summer or fall. They recorded and released this song early because they wanted to do something special for their upcoming twentieth anniversary of their self titled first album and what better day for Slipknot than Halloween?!!! But it's not a comeback or anything like that. They've still been highly popular and successful over the years and if you count touring haven't actually been "gone" all that long. They will start recording the album late spring/early summer after Corey has had a chance to catch his breath after touring with Stone Sour. That man never stops! Two larger than life bands, a cover band called the Dumfux, four successful books, acting, so many guest appearances with bands (like Korn), podcasts, interviews and so much more. Soooooo, got carried away with it! Anyway, I'd really like to see you do some more Slipknot reactions and Mudvayne too. Thanks for the video!
This was an excellent comment. Very informative and gave me lots to think about. Between yours and a few other comments, I have a new perspective on the band. It's confusing because their metaphors and visuals seem to contradict their message but I guess this is what makes their art special to their fans. It's almost like a reverse subliminal message. They appear one way but are saying something else. I respect that from an artistic standpoint. I read the lyrics to Heretic anthem and may do a video on it. But lines like "Throw a suicide party and I'm guaranteed to f****ing snap" confuse me? Based on what I'm learning about them this must be a metaphor? Could you help me undertand it?
@@roberthoughton7127 I'll try. This is another anti-music industry song inspired by a meeting with executives. They are heretics against the business suit "gods" of the music business. I must admit that some of the lyrics are rather obscure in this one. "Throw a suicide party" might be a reference to the signing parties many bands throw once they finally get their record deal not knowing that they are often selling the heart and soul of the band away for fame and fortune effectively killing what they are all about.
@@VvImpalervV spot on! GREAT comment!! PERFECT!!
@@roberthoughton7127 "It's almost like a reverse subliminal message. They appear one way but are saying something else. I respect that from an artistic standpoint."
okay, that's fine and dandy and all but to clarify ,more often then not, bands use this kind of depiction, not to be all like "i mean one thing but say something different, expecting you to understand us without the key singals.", but to show that in a lot of supposed "bad","horrific" or "disturbing" scenes there is a ambiguous grey area. Especially when you're dealing with such a powerfull and raw emotion like anger, sometimes the message gets lost in ther translation. Plus it's not exactly helping when you are missing the context of a situation and trying to analys it, then there's just not enough info to make a justifiable jugdment. The perferct song to properly illustrate this specific thing would be imho "Wrong side of Heaven" by Five Finger Death Punch.
p.s. " reverse subliminal message", take i wild guess how slipknots third album is called XD. cheers
Okay, I was about to rip into this but I read some comments and I'll give you credit for your open mindedness in the comments section so instead I'll offer some advice and encouragement. First, most metal songs are written with little to no theology in mind. Try judging it from a world view first and then, as you see fit, use biblical passages to judge how it relates from your perspective. I say this because viewing it from a theological point of view first will often confuse the artists message, defeating the point in the first place. Second, concerning your remark about how the positive message of this song didn't match the music or video (I'm paraphrasing), metal music taps into anger much like romantic songs taps into love. Anger isn't a bad thing, even Christ got angry, it's often about tapping into and dealing with injustice and venting the anger over something wrong. Using the music for Happy by Pharrell Williams to talk about how mad the music business makes you just doesn't make any sense. Last... metal heads don't really take themselves very seriously. We know that much of what we watch and listen too can be over the top and kinda silly, but that's part of the fun of it. We make fun of ourselves a lot. We do, however, take offense when an outsider uses a public platform to tarnish our music and message from an apparent standpoint of ignorance... BUT... we are patient and understanding as well when someone shows that they are at least willing to listen. For most of us, having someone that doesn't get it but is willing to listen is a rare treat. I look forward to watching your future content.
Wish i could like this comment 5 more times lol
@@lastofthesanexx How about I give yours a like and we call it a day :p
@@VvImpalervV one good like deserves another :) have an awesome night!
Very well put. I totally agree.
Allen Me well there are levels to that but I agree they just seem to judge the song by their own point of view and critiquing what they don’t agree with. Maybe just a bit open minded to start a conversation
You have come a long way since this video. Congrats.
I challenge you to watch a interview with Cory Taylor,he's a well spoken and smart individual.
I’ve learned a lot since I filmed this video. Corey Taylor is a talented artist. I enjoyed Snuff.
@@roberthoughton7127 I am pleased that you have learned more about Corey Taylor. I am a Maggot and have been listening to Slipknot since they first came out, just as when Stone Sour came out. I wholeheartedly love the depths of this soul. Truth be told while watching your video and the remarks, it saddened me. You see, I have a vast knowledge of him and the meanings behind the songs he has written. Unfortunately, most people do not understand him nor his lyrics. He truly is a lyrical genius!
Father, I am sorry but this isn't a come back. This is simply a new EP!!! I love Rock and Metal!!!! I'm a Christian!!!! Also Father, it's ok to listen to Rock and Metal, just as long as it doesn't change your religion. I been listening to Rock and Metal since I was a kid(4-7). I believe in God!!! I don't let music or anything change my views.
im a athiest and i daed many christians....your kind (views) isnt so bad and we arent so bad ethier its just nit a sure thing
@@d4ng3lodrumsmusocdangelosa90 , I never would judge you. Whatever you want to believe is your own decision. Not mine, I support you!!!!!
Why you calling him father he aint a catholic he is Pentecostal chill haha
THANK YOUU!! I wholeheartedly agree! As a metalhead Christian, none of this music harms what I believe or alters my love for the lord, these two men take things a bit too much and to the next level. They need to view this from a non-religious perspective..
@@michaeltsakis1046 , I'm being respectful and also, I didn't know that.
Not about religion or theology. It's about the record industry and pop culture, and how it's there to turn out talentless artist sell an image, increasingly shallow and celebrating violence and crime (mumble rap) or glamorising sex and image (pop and r n b).
Metal tends to have more a diverse subject matter and complex formation of lyrics and instrumental composition, using challenging subject matter, metaphors, and themes to get it's point across.
Some straight out just tell stories, some are political, and some are just dumb throwaway tunes.
The comment 'we are not your kind' is a statement of how retailers and alternative fans can like and appreciate some (and I stress some) commercial music, but would be just at home listening to a piece of Wagner, or classic led zep, as much as a player song or some slipknot.
Thanks for your comment. Other commenters have pointed this out. This changes a lot about how I feel about the song. I actually agree with them on this! Especially regarding the uprise of "mumble rap" and content-less pop music made solely for profit. The "Empty Shells" line really nails it!
Someone needs to send these guys “Ghosts” latest CD
Starman998 OMFG 😂
love your guy's videos. I have been saved an accepted Jesus Christ as my lord and savior. I have always been a big fan of classic rock and metal and am so glad to see more Christians be more open minded toward harder music. you guys are awesome, keep the vids coming. God Bless you both!
Just because slipknot plays what they play and us fans and us atheist live our lives the way that we do, doesnt mean that we live in anarchy or that we do drugs or that we go out there stealing and killing. Just because we are not part of your believes doesnt mean that we are bad people. And yes we hold the keys to our success. The fact people still believe that they depend on something or somebody else says that they are afraid of taking responsability for their actions. Instead of preaching that people need believe that some higher entity will fix their problems why dont you start teaching people to grow some balls and take ACTIONS for what they do. Open you eyes and mind Pastor.
Arturo Escobar tip my fedora to you. I assume you're on the spectrum. I do enough drugs to put a couple elephants down a day and play a guitar and all genres especially slipknot but I prefer more psychedelic like mudvayne and I still subscribe to a very traditional Christian upbringing and following and I can pray and play metal and drop acid or bc blue caps and smoke an ounce of dope a week and rail amphetamines all day. I'll still always be a better metal head, play better guitar, and have a bigger heart than you could ever achieve. Go have some soy
You should react to Devil and I.
I'm impressed this guys able to pick up lyrics and repeat them so quickly and accurately.
Thanks for the props but it helps when you have the lyrics right on the screen right in front of us. 😉
My kids are in a band, the whole band made a road trip to be in this video. My babies are living the life for sure.
“Allah” is theoretically the same god you believe in, just saying
Max Goldberg thanks for the comment but they are about the same as Slipknot and Justin Bieber. Lol.
Just to clarify, when Christians use the term God they are referring to Yahweh, the God of the Bible. According to the Bible (which we believe to be true) there is only one true God. Making all others who claim to be God false. So by default the term “God” can only apply to Yahweh. Even from a theoretical perspective the difference between “Allah” and Yahweh is pretty drastic. The biggest difference is Yahweh offered His only begotten Son Jesus Christ (Yeshua) as a sacrifice for sin and salvation only comes by faith in Him and not by works (Romans 3:20). Allah offers nothing like this and requires you to earn your salvation. The Quran teaches that salvation is based primarily on purification from good deeds (Quran 7:6-9). A Muslim can become righteous through prayer, almsgiving, fasting, and living according to the Quran. This is in opposition to the Faith based salvation of Yahweh.
A devout Muslim would assuredly tell you they are drastically different and consider such a statement to be “blasphemy” of the highest order. In some Moslem countries people have even been put to death for similar statements. (See Wikipedia’s article on “blasphemy and Islam).
Hope this gives you some perspective.
@@roberthoughton7127 Its just an Arabic word for God, Arabic speaking Chrsitans say Allah, just s German ones say Gott. They, much like the Jewish faith believe in the same god as you, its just a very different path and culture that birthed it.They even count Jesus as one of the prophets.
shannon smith I understand “god” is a generic term used to reference a deity. my main point was to show that allah and the One true God of Christianity are not the same deity by comparison.
You’re correct about Muslims seeing Jesus as a prophet. They consider him one of 5 messengers from god known as “Ul al-Azm”. The Quran also refers to him as “servant of Allah” (19:30), “messiah” (5:75) and “messenge or prophet” (61:6).
The problem is they don’t believe he’s God which Jesus claimed on numerous occasions. This, by their own definition would make him a FALSE prophet and blasphemer. By necessity this would make Muhammad a false prophet for calling a “liar and blasphemer” any of the above little titles.
My goal is only to give perspective. Hope my comment was helpful in that.
@@roberthoughton7127 I get what you are saying, but he is the God of Moses. Just like Jewish folks, they think you got it wrong, you think they got it wrong. For a small period of time, they got along well with Chrsitans or well enough, it was not unknown for them to share a house for worship at one time period.
I am not judging who is right, I simply pointed it out. I do appreciate the reasoned response however.
@@seekerofshadowlight You are correct that "Jewish folks" think we got it wrong and Muslim folks think we got it wrong which was my original point that they are not the same god's. BTW I appreciate your willingness to discuss this topic in a civil and intelligent manner. That's getting rare on the internet these days. lol
The band Slipknot write their songs in forms of poetry. You have to dig deeper, in between the words, look at the big picture. When you read poetry, you don't just take it "by definition".. you decipher it and you feel and sense for what it means to the writer. You have to have a more broad perception, more knowledge on life, the media, music industry, Corey's life... in order to understand. But..Your religion has caused you to have such strong tunnel vision on certain topics, and I truly don't mean that rudely. It just seems like you're being too.. eh... shallow. Dig deeper.
Also....♡ I love Slipknot ♡
My most favorited band ever, forever.
If Slipknot's lyrics are poetry it's the fucking worst poetry I've ever read.
"Kill does nto mean die" You can still live in peoples memories.
Got my tickets to see Slipknot in September! Long live the 9!
8*
As a Roman Catholic myself I wouldn't be surprised if there was a good amount of belifes you share with Corey just like when he said I will not be bought or sold. Cory was homeless for a while before slipknot discovers his talent and has many quotes like that in his music
Before Slipknot Corey was already in a band known as Stone Sour
I'm not Christian, but I enjoy watching pastors reactions to music like this. I dont think that most of slipknot is either.
So seeing this a year and some odd days after the fact (and after you've admitted you missed the mark), it's nice to see you embrace the further thought outside the immediate lyrics from someone clearly outside looking in
I know what this song means to me.
Thank you so much for sharing what it means to you.
It actually “you hold all the keys, so the chains shouldn’t hold you.”
Im not religious at all. I find some of these videos quite entertaining and i try to be open minded.
This is one of the most closed minded reactions ive seen.
Very unfortunate, thumbs down
@RobertHoughton I stumbled upon your site while I was watching another video of Corey's. I am an atheist just as he is. That said, I am pleased that you have learned more about Corey Taylor. I am a Maggot and have been listening to Slipknot since they first came out, just as when Stone Sour came out. I wholeheartedly love the depths of this soul. Truth be told while watching your video and the remarks, it saddened me. You see, I have a vast knowledge of him and the meanings behind the songs he has written. Unfortunately, most people do not understand him nor his lyrics. He truly is a lyrical genius!
I was part of the video thank you so much for watching this video and I actually wore a white shirt to the shoot and yes it got stained XD
You have to do their new song "Unsainted" ASAP! Also, react to Ghost (B.C.) if you get the chance.
Listen "He is" by Ghost
This band have a interesting project.
Fam my guy is enjoying the music you can't deny that
This song is for all of us who miss Good music , not face neck tattoo , trash garbage perverted violent prideful lyrics that music has become. To me he's calling them out and telling ppl what's going on behind the scenes cause he's living it and knows the truth of the music industry and the ppl who run it.I do believe in God and put him in the songs I write,and try to speak on honest truths I've learned or felt through experiences in my live . I feel Corey is calling the young musicians to take a stand be true to the music life and themselves for ppl follow music especially kids. And he and his band have children now so there probably focused by the scene there kids get to grow up in. He grew up in the 80s when music was 👌🙌. Thank you God bless you like your channel . Keep fighting the good fight .🙏
Allah means God and it refers to The same god as Christian god ... so like......
🤘SLIPKNOT🤘 FR
"I feel good knowing God's in control." I believe this to be the main reason people believe in Gods presence, at least among the Catholics I've met.
i love the break down you guys do on songs.
The song is against pop music
And kill does not mean die means like old does not mean dead
He kinda repeats himself
Example eminem killed mgk's career with the song killshot
However
Mgk's career is not dead yet
Hey guys i think you should listen and react to slipknot.. Unsainted? I think you will like it? Dw from the uk 😃👍
Last suggestion as I don't know if this page is still active or if you will continue the reaction songs, but Shinedown is great. Three songs: Fly from the Inside, Cut the Cord, and How Did You Love? ✌🏻💜🎶
Big fan of this series
Next song: Slipknot - Devil In I
DISASTERPIECE, HERE WE GOOOO
Thank you amazing ! 🙌🙌
This is the second video I've watched from you guys. I dig it. I differ in opinion on many things you said, but I enjoy listening to others opinions. I believe opinions should be voiced and talked about especially if they differ. No hate. Just discussion and it's good to see that. Also I love slipknot mainly because if you pay attention you see a positive message.
BRO YOU MISS THE POINT!
He calls it a come back song....man I cant even tell you how disrespected I feltXD
Yeah I was like a comeback song lol
Oh man they been out since 1999
I'm being nice
And I'm big slipknot fan
And this is not a comeback song lol
I forgive him for his mistake for a 1st time
I’m impressed with the successful tactic you have chosen for your channel.
As somebody who isn't religious, I love the dynamic between you and your son. I love the way you guys try to dissect these songs. It's wholesome and you're not always right but you sometimes truly are. Watching you two is a delight.
Corey Taylor is a guy you would probably enjoy being around. He's clean, meaning sober, and he has a killer sense of humor. Slipknot's album Iowa could be considered both their heaviest and cleanest album. Check out "left behind."
He has a second band, Stone Sour. I think you'd like "Song #3" or "zzyxz Rd" by them
Could u please react to five finger death punch wrong side of heaven and gone away?
You asked for it ua-cam.com/video/Bg8Ep3JVaMw/v-deo.html
"I will not worship empty husks, huh, me neither"
says guy who worships pretend god
this is the song thst got me into slipknot
I wish there more Christian's if not just people in general like you Pastor. Would love to come to a sermon.
