The fact that people forgot that Craig created .execute. kinda drives me up a wall.
i know! execute is an absolute work of art, and the way how it transitions into gematria. holy hell it’s perfect.
.execute is badass!
I think one of the main reasons why Craig's work is underappreciated by many fans is that he's not such a "live" member of the band as others. To be clear: most of the time Craig is just staying still and not playing his instrument for the simple reason - he just don't have to. Most of the songs where Craig's talent is fully shown (like Danger - Keep Away, Spiders, Tattered and Torn, etc) are never played live, so, in fact, he never had a lot to do while performing. Maybe that's one of the reasons why some people call him "useless".
Craig was an essential part of the slipknot sound.
That's exactly what I've been saying since the day I first heard he's leaving. Craig was one of the main reasons Slipknot was so special
as a hiphop producer myself, i always praised Craig and Sid and looked at them as the producers of the group.
Craig, the one who never sold out.
Thank you so much for this. I feel like Craig and Sid’s contributions to Slipknot get overlooked a lot. They help build and contribute to the overall atmosphere of some songs. It’s sad to see so many of the originals gone. Rest easy Joey and Paul and we’ll miss you, Craig. Wish you all the best.
they get overlooked as much as clown and chris
For those who are confused between the Sid/ Craig parts let me clear this up. In People=Shit Sid is doing the scratching. But if you pay attention to the sounds behind the scratching, that gloomy sound effect that harmonizes with Sid that would be Craig. On 515 yes that is Sid screaming death. He was recorded after his grandfather passed away and he was not able to finish his parts before his Grandfather passed away. He was in a dark place and the guys made sure to capture the raw moment. Craig then sampled it as the first track although many people give all the credit to Sid. For Heretic anthem Craig originally sampled the numbers but gave the track to Sid who re sampled it. They both lay claim to the sample. As a Craigologist I have learned that you can tell the difference between Sid and Craig due to a certain sound. Craigs sound is so distinct and long time listeners who have the ear can easily pluck out his parts. They use different audio devices that have their own distinct sound But it takes years of practice to home the sound. Hope this helps out!
This. Thank you for explaining!
His samples on Vol.3 make that album so goated and under appreciated
here comes the pain on (sic) always gives me chills its so perfect
No fucking way am i just now finding out what craig's job was all along lmao
Danger:Keep Away is a top ten slipknot song, i’m gonna miss this guy
Great video man! I don't know about studio, but live, Sid actually does the countdown (6 6 6 5 4 3 2 1 ) in Heretic Anthem. Everything else is spot on beautiful Craig work.
Interesting! I did not know this for when they play it live but it's simply because....I'm get too excited sometimes lol
Yep you're entirely correct. After the first '6' Sid cuts the sound on the mixer using the crossfader, pulls the record back to the start of the '6', brings the volume back using the crossfader, lets go of the record so the '6' plays again, repeats this whole thing one more time before letting it continue to '7'.
If you're a turntablist you can pick up on stuff like that. However, while it's sometimes obvious which parts are Sid and which parts are Craig, other times it is less clear even to someone who knows about sampling and turntablism
Phew didnt have to out my autistic take " excuse me but heretic intro is sid ". I think gently and Iowa should be included imho cause the soundscapes are mucho perfecto ❤
@@lobotomykid Beginning of Iowa is amazing. Haunting. Not to mention that heavy bass from Paul.
Craig recorded the sample in Heretic that Sid plays live, so you’re still correct but Craig made it
This a very unique and great part of Slipknot that's underrated and not talked about enough, kudos man!
Craig really brought some of the cool hype from the first record. Great work from Craig.
Yeah he added more uniqueness
Damm dude! thats the kind of videos I was looking for since so much time.. Ive always been fascinated by Craig's work, its my fav member along with paul, joey and mick. Thank you so much for making this, he deserves this tribute and that fans notice more his amazings ambiances.
If I had to add some samples to your video, I would take the intro of H377 (i'm not sure whats his parts or sid's tho), the Sade's intro, Hivemind intro also! And also the outro of Left behind. I 100% agree the outro of Sic is golden, its iconic to me!!
I also thought the part you pointed on People=shit was done by Sid, you sure?
Also, at 0:50 in Adderall, I believe its a kind of industrial sound, made by him? It recalls the industrial sounds on Slipknot (mfkr) intro and dogfish rising intro and its soooo nice to have to album starting with a bit of that.
Anyway, sorry for talking too much, theres so much to talk about his art!
Thanks and thanks for all the input 🤘🏽 I'm not sure if Adderall was by Craig as he's not credited but who knows!? Good choices on the Sade, Hivemind and Left Behind and it's probably a toss up for People = Shit!
@@GianSolo thx! Where can we check for song's credits?
@@olivierslupik9353 You can check the ACE repertory
En estos momento hago musica experimental, y Craig fue un incianate a todo esto, en su momento buscar los sampler que hacia y todo lo que aportaba me dio una idea de lo que hacia .. y siempre fue mi "personaje" favorito :(
the story behind “515” is pretty sad actually.
It's difficult for me to pinpoint the separation where Sid and Craig occurred. I guess I always thought these parts were Sid. Thank you very much for the video.
You got it!
Sid & Craig overlapped a lot with their sounds, they were a perfect matched & paired combination
Iron lung and dystopia records in the background, respect 🫡
until this day I'm still not exactly sure what parts are done by craig or sid. during live shows I mean. both have their midi keyboards for playing samples and sounds and a laptop for loading the samples for each song. but sid has turntables on top of that. so the scratching is always done by sid. but for everything else I have no idea^^
Slipknot Spiders😉
That's a good one 🤘🏽
i remember seeing a interview with jay talking about WANYK’s songs and he said clown came up with the piano in that
Great work dude but I kinda think you mixed some of Sid's stuff too
the best one spiders
Did he play keyboard in the songs that didn't have samples?
Sid actually does the countdown in heretic anthem. And Craig has always been an inspiration with my music as well. I mean some of his work is actually quite haunting but also it's intruiging. He's always overlooked but damn he came up with some awesome stuff with slipknot. That's a mantle that can't be easily replaced.
Craig made the sample that Sid plays live
A few of these are Sid not Craig though.
😞 133
WHAT
People = Shit one you posted is Sid. Craig does one during the middle part though under Joey's drums.
The countdown at the start of the heretic anthem is sid
Also im pretty sure that people = shit one is also sid
Жукафф???
Several of these are Sid. Watch them doing heretic anthem on Conan and watch Sid scratching. People=Shit too.
That's in live, but in studio is Craig
So for people=Shit the scratching is Sid but if you listen behind it you’ll hear Craig doing the gloomy sounds that harmonize with SIDS scratches.
Lots of ambient sounds are done by Clown though. Craig is there in live to push the button for them. But the creating them is all Clowns thing.
That's absolute nonsense
Not true, Craig made most of them plus wrote guitar riffs for the first 5 albums. He is credited in several guitar tabs books through .5 TGC
sid did most of them
