- I had no idea this was coming, but they're back at it - Slipknot have just released a new song off of their upcoming new album out later this year. It's called "The Dying Song (Time To Sing)" and of course they've released a killer video to go alongside it. Obviously metal is a little more out of my comfort zone, but let's take a look and see if this new track is any good and if so, why? Do you like it? Are you excited about Slipknot releasing a new album? Talk to me in the comments.

How do you feel about Slipknot?
Got their logo inked on my arm so I’m gonna be a tad biased regardless of what I say 😂 cool to see a video from you about them though, a crossover I never knew I needed until now
Loved the first two albums, vol 3 a bit less and they kinda lost me after that
This song doesn't tickle me in any way
I love SnipLot
@@Sticky_Tea self titled and Iowa will always be top for me for sure, I never wear rose tinted glasses for them and have had minor disappointments in the past. But I was definitely more excited this time around than when they first dropped Unsainted as the lead single for the last album
They’re terrible.
Jay's drumming on this song is on another level!
I actually thought he started pretty weak, compared to the years and live shows where I seen Joey... it seems he now has the balance between power and style.
I always love how you are so respectful to other artists/people. It's why I watch these videos
7:05 Ok, but his disses are so razor-blade sharp that you'd think they were compliments.
@@carlodave9 he was giggling because his mind went straght to the gutter lol
It amazes me how quickly Justin can replicate what he hears on the spot. Damn it.
It's having a good ear
Are you the guy from Staind?
@@CeeJayThe13th lol, no sir. I'm from South Africa.
@@BlenderisedMind 😉😉
most of the time doesnt even sound close but oh well, also its not that hard to figure whats being played even if youre amateur musician
I love how positive you are with music whether it's Slipknot or The 1975, we should all aspire to be a bit more like this 🤘🏼
👍🎶🕺...
Life Is Life FFS! Can't get that out of my head now! Slipknot keep producing great music!
The Laibach version is pretty fun too...
Maradona pre-match dance juggling at Napoli is what immediately comes to mind
Cunning and musically genius spotting of the Opus melody! Great stuff Justin. I'll be honest as a rock fan I rolled my eyes at the Darkness back in 2003 (some sort of semi parody?!) but your talents are clearly huge and your songwriting skills and dry humour are in incredibly entertaining, all power to you 🤘
...the resonant Opus melody will now forever linger on the ol ears via this Slipknot offering🕺🤘👹
I'm guilty of judging the darkness as a joke band as well. Mind you I was considerably younger and like to think I'm a much wiser person now. I have a lot of respect for the content of this channel watch it all the time and Justin is extremely knowledgeable, skilled, and entertaining.
One live gig was all it would have taken 😁🎶
@@seanmathewsmusic couldn't have said it better. It bugs me when people say that sort of thing when the band is an absolute joyful, face-melting experience live. Consummate musicians. 🤗
Well I hope you go check out the back catalogue. Every album from the darkness are my most prized possessions 😁
I've always found Slipknot interesting. I've noticed a famous pop hook diguised in at least two of their big singles. The melodic sections are catchy as fuck for a reason, wether they started off with this philosophy I'm not sure. When I taught media in the mid to late ni nineties they had a profound effect on teens of a certain kind at the time. Interestingly, reserved, quite types both male and female. I admired their choice and have followed them since, wether those students still do is another question. Kids in their early forties by now. Clever band, clever marketing.
You're pretty much on the money, Corey has said that from the very beginning, he made it a point to have some sort of hook in every song, even when it wasn't really a melody, to set himself and the band apart from other artists who were just screaming or growling all the time.
@@Christopher-md7tf If you listen to any of the live Cory stuff on here you know he has a softer side. One of the most underrated artists of the Century. He is an amazing talent, but some people cant' get past the masks and image.
Reserved quiet teenager of the early 2000s here, you've described me to a tee 😂 those first two albums played a huge part in bringing me out of my shell and in a way gave me a sense of identity back then. No surprise that I'm still an avid fan to this day.
@@danbenfield8532 I didn’t teach you did I? Ha! Ha!
Joe Baresi is an awesome producer/mixer. His list of credits is incredible. Recently I love Fear Inoculum by Tool that he mixed.
I'd love to hear your take on how Corey's voice has progressed throughout the years. Musically I think they are tighter than ever, but I keep being blown away by how good his voice has been sounding of late! When he hits that high scream in the last chorus, I get goosebumps every time!
3:40 of this video where he says "we all give the best"? Yeah that's one of Corey's all-time highlights undoubtedly
@@francescomastellone9444 🙄 I meant in the original video 😂 Comment fixed
@@murmuroriginals Loved it just the same before it was fixed hahaha
I feel like the real hallmark of Nu-Metal they still mainly stick by (apart from having a DJ) is "rapped" / growled verses, then sung melodic choruses; it's a convention quite like the "quiet, LOUD, quiet, LOUD" of grunge

We all give the best

Don't think about a rest
Fear Factory pioneered this
Exactly!
Meh idk, apart from the first album slipknot have always felt more alt metal to me, the riffs and drums are death metal inspired with the tremolo picking and the blast beats, and the keyboard and percussion has a more industrial vibe, I mean you definitely can't say that modern slipknot and modern limp bizkit are that similar apart from them both being metal
@@mraza9 and Mr Bungle
I must say Justin, I'm really getting into your channel, I love the musical analysis of the songs, you know your stuff, theory and all, it's great content.
As far as I know, they've always used detuned six strings, mostly in drop B but sometimes they go to Bb or even drop A (Psychosocial for example)
Correct 👊
I wanted to check out Slipknot as a teen to see what the fuss was about and their first album blew me away! I haven’t got into their recent stuff but it’s always interesting hearing them talk in interviews.
This channel is an amazing tool - to see a professional musician deconstruct music live is really helping my playing! Cheers
I love Slipknot, one of the few faultless bands with no bad albums in my opinion. I think they’ve got consistently better with every album. This song might grow on me but so far I preferred The Chapeltown Rag.
...one of the few faultless bands... This song might grow on me...
Idk, I still always find myself going back to the self-titled and Iowa, maybe Subliminal Verses. Joey was a beast and it was still the original lineup
Faultless? I guess thats subjective, there first 2 albums were faultless for me, after that they've just been hit and miss. Remember Joey and Paul were there main 2 songwriters, Joey even used to write the guitar parts, since Joey got fired and Paul unfortunately died there songwriting has took a big hit. Since volume 3 every album had a been about half good and half boring filler.. like this song though
Slipknot also doesn't make the same album twice. They're always experimenting.
@@nemesis8626 that's just like your opinion man. Vol 3 is their masterpiece IMO
Amazing! I also love how they are both extremely heavy but also very melodic at the same time. They've always mantained that balance and created their own signature sound in the process.
I can see bits from all their albums in this one song. I like it.
The cut back to Justin playing the melody at 2:30 is fucking hilarious and exactly why I love this channel
2:38
It could be "A Well Respected Man" by the Kinks 1965 🎶and he's oh so good🎶
or...
"Last Train To Clarksville" by the Monkeys 1966
🎶and I'll meet you at the station🎶
Their drummer is Max Weinberg's (from the E Street Band and Late Nite with Conan O'Brien) son. Back in the day, Slipknot was a musical guest of Conan's and Max actually told his son about them. Ironically though his dad is not the one who introduced him to playing drums.
2:32 really thought you were going to say painted black by the stones. Started hearing you play the guitar and it immediately popped in my head
I'm from the future Beato gives your opening jingle a jolly rogering.
Love your brilliant work man
Would love to see you have a sit down chat about everything guitar with Jim Root. Your personalities, ability and passion for guitar, would make for some good watching
"look he's got no headstock on his bass... doesn't need one... probably chopped it off" 🤣
Thanks Justin - your insights really elevate the song. I love how quickly your transpose melodies and riffs in songs to your guitar - wish I could do that! I think will go and watch Slipknot now. Something I wouldn't have done without your video. Cheers, Alex
Vermilion is a good track to start with
3:35 THANK YOU!!! ever since this song came out I was wondering what it reminded me of.
The first song that came to mind for me was the Kink's song "A Well Respected Man". Pretty much a direct steal. At least that's what I heard when you played it. I'm sure The Kinks would LOVE it if EVERY song you "deciphered" turned out to be a revisiting of one of Ray's previous fine works, right?
For me the hallmark of this track is the Mix. Every element shines through without feeling overly polished - still tons of depth, heft, and general heaviness.

We all give the best

Hello Justin, many congratulations on riding again! Big fan of many years but my word I've just discovered that you are a composer on the song "Brick" by Ben Folds (beautiful song). How do collaborations like that come about? Any memorable meetings where the chemistry is there from the get go, or any that are the opposite, like oooh wait we ain't getting on here...
I've definitely seen you pulling out that opening clap and stomp dance move from the opening of the Opus video you referenced, that's straight from the Justin Hawkins dance repertoire. Admittedly when using this particular shuffle you're normally making up songs on the spot and singing them in a Yorkshire accent.
Oh no, I clicked the wrong video. Check out Opus Life is Life (Live) (top of the pops I think) for a move straight out of Justin's handbag
This is so cool man. Your ability to spot stuff across genres and comment on it is awesome. Also the respect you pay to bands across the spectrum is wicked. 🤙
I didnt rate The Darkness back in the day, but your music knowledge is superb. Thats real talent.
Thats a sick Shirt Bro. haha
Makes me a little sentimental for the old days of maxell 80s and trying to record the radio without too many adds between songs.
When Justin sais "OMG do you recognised the melody..." All I could think of was the playground rhyme "All the girls in Spain, wash their knickers in the rain..."
That bit you plat at 7.00 in is The Package by A Perfect Circle lol
Thank you so much for pointing out the opus tune the melody was doing my head in, I just know I heard it somewhere before
In hungary, people used to sing "live is life" in half english and half hungarian language: "Levelet kaptam life. " It means : "I got a letter, life." Anyway, i just descovered your channel a few days ago, and i have ordered Permisson to Land half an hour later.
No way! You did not just pull Opus from that intro! Holy shit! ;)
I love you hear everything and actually listen. Also just putting the melody out on guitar every time just showcases how knowledgeable you are. Your the man.
This guy has so much fun talking to himself. Its crazy. I am jealous
I have fun talking to himself too
You make me appreciate being a musician all over again when you break it down like that. I always think of the musical variables too. But you simplify it. You should be charging for this info!! If any real musician pays attention they can really learn
Oh I'm always so happy when you reassure us of the well being of your gorgeous guitar. Haha.
Have you seen those guitars with what pretty much works like a C extension on the double bass? It's kind of like an easy on and off capo on only the lowest string. You disengage to get that low C, engage it keep in E. Very cool in my opinion.
Similarly titled HIM's "Dying song" is absolutely awesome too.
Much love to you Mr. Hawkins ♡
You give so many wonderful nuggets of insight and humor. I LOVE it. The way you say Aluminum, the word "riffery" followed by the "needing discipline in your right hand" (cut to sly smirk on face) BRILLIANT! Oh, and I love the way you can figure out what chords they play and the appreciation you show for arrangements no matter the genre. You are a good dude!!! Thanks!
Damnit you're good!! That melody was driving me mad, I knew I heard it before.
Me personally I love Slipknot. It is one of those bands that are very emotionall for me, and I have always been able to draw streaght from listening to them, beeing just have one of those days you are pissed at everything and everyone, or from dark and suicidal places. Their song Vermillion have the line "I Wont let this build up inside of me" that have always hit me straight in the heart, as that is how I used to handle anxiety.
I should add though... see them play. It is an experience like no other. Only way I can explain it really is a late 70ies punk gig, but at arena size. Yet it is not even close to it.
Love your videos, loved you and the darkness since early 00.
This song definitely reminds me of 80s synth pop when it came to that riff I just can’t put my finger on it maybe something by Bronki beat like small town boy in terms of the competition . There’s definitely some melodies in that song as well which sounds exactly like Buddy Holly by Weezer which are very interesting.
Justin, you either really study every video before you analyze it (I don't think you do) or you really know your stuff (which I think you do). Thank you from all of the amateurs out there. We watch your stuff because you're respectful of the effort musicians put in. (PS - I lived in an apartment above a bar owned by Clown of Slipknot before they were even a thing, and I love that band. PPS - You can whistle also? Why do people even try anything after hearing you? (I mean, why do they try to think they have your ability...) Love your channel. (I still sing Justin Hawkins Rides Again randomly throughout my day and laugh every time I do!)
Read an interview with Mick "#7", playing the headless Ibanez 7 string, where he talked about right hand discipline, saying to try 100% downpicking any songs you're practicing to build up that aggression stamina
Even listening to some of the clips your showing here ….
I just found my head automatically “banging”…
Boy, you hit the nail on that song . I learn a lot watching you . Good guitar teacher !
I really enjoy watching your show man.. cheers for sharing..
Holy Shit dude, didnt know you doing youtube. Let me just say this quick: I fucking loooooooove your song I believe in a thing called love. Absolut banger. \m/
Justin, I love everything about your podcasts! You, what you're wearing, your facial expressions, that you tell us what you're sipping on and then ALL of the information you give us about the topic of the day. What an excellent ear that you can simply grab your guitar and play the song in whatever note it's in. You're just so incredibly personable and because of that, I'll listen to what you have to say and I always, always learn something. Thank-you!
O-VER-RATED. 👏 👏, 👏👏👏
Holy shit, man! A reference to Opus' "Live Is Life"! Now I can't unhear it. Ha ha ha. Ironic, this song is the dying song whilst that was about how live life is. Props to your ears, mate.
I love anybody who has Bon Scott on the wall! But seriously, your channel is absolutely lovely Justin❤ Funny, sharp, accurate, don't ever stop doing it. Listen a lot to Amyl and the sniffers thanks to you🤘 Keep it up man!❤
Is that Bon Scott? I assumed they were pictures of himself.
now i can't stop hearing "life is life" in this song
I was hearing Last Train To Clarksville by The Monkees, for the melody. Yeah, I'm old. Never been a Slipnot fan, but surprisingly, my 22yo dd is.
I really want to hear your thoughts on Pawns and Kings by Alter Bridge, and really just Alter Bridge as a whole.
The way he lightly laughs and looks at the camera after he says "you need real discipline in your right hand" is priceless. Safe to assume what he thought about after he said it.
Loved it. Another great video. Superb content as always 👍
OMG I was saying it's the Opus melody in my head when you realized as well hahaha. I was listening to that very song yesterday.
The rises again intro, the funny comments, the insights , I love ‘em all. But I really could just listen to the theoretical breakdown of the songs and still be happy. Another awesome video!!!!
What I enjoyed most was detecting the innuendos while listening to the description of the playing of the riffs. 👀
Real discipline in your right hand...heh,heh,heh....😉😂🤣
Why did I not know about your channel before? Loved your breakdown of Graham Coxon's guitar playing on the song 2 vid. Something on the playing of Joey Santiago of the Pixies would be v. interesting as he’s an atypical guitarist, it’s often difficult to verbalise why he’s so great.
Life in Live always makes me think of Maradona doing keepie-uppies. Tremendous
Man, I heard Last Train to Clarksville in the vocal melody!
Thanks Justin another great episode, all the very best. 👍👍👍👊✌️.
Was hoping you'd have a look at this. Can't wait for the Justin Hawkins unplugged version!
Does anyone else sing along to the last "again" in the opening piece?
that Opus outro was the cherry on top!
Sounds a bit like Last Train To Clarkesville by The Monkees !
The music teacher vibes are huuuge, reminds me of every bass teacher I’ve had
Mic Thompson's rythm guitar and James root on lead is nuts.
As the band grows the musicianship really shows through.
I believe Corey Taylor is the only singer in world music that can sing in 7 octaves.
Very underated band musically.
Pretty sure Mike Patton has the widest recorded vocal range in popular music. Corey is a powerhouse and has stayed so for years, but he's just pipped to the post by a few others.
I'm glad youtube saw fit to pop one of this guy's videos into my feed. I had never heard of him until very recently, but he's obviously a gifted singer and a capable guitarist and I find him quite likeable. I suspect we're about the same age and grew up with the same influences. Only he did so in Europe and I did so in Texas but it's cool to see how even though that's the case we still speak the same lingo and would get along quite well I think. And I dig the English mannerisms and charm. Reminds me a lot of Russell Brand at times.
@ghost mall Yeah, I had learned that, but I had never heard of them either. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But I'm so not hip to modern music, so that doesn't mean a lot.
I've started to call them SourKnot.
SlipNot..?
@@somewhatsomething4882 😂
Tbfh i like the dying song a bit more than the chapeltown rag, but they sound VERY similar. Set up almost equally the same
Talking of melody it also has the first notes of Last Train to Clarksville by the Monkees.
Phil Anselmo coined the frase Maggots for the crowd on a headbangers ball episode from 94 or 95. Someone in Slipknot defo seen that episode and took it. Phil describes on the episode how he calls them maggots because that's what the crowd looks like from stage.
I've been a fan for many years and watching your videos over the last few months has really got me back into your music again. I really love and appreciate your analysis and consideration of the music, and the kind way you approach each subject. I especially love your guitar playing, i really think you're an under rated and underappreciated talent. Thank you for your videos and congratulations on the success of this channel. For your Q&A videos, what kind of thing do you like to play just for practicing guitar, to keep your fingers finely honed instruments of face melting destruction. Cheers!
My first thought was live is live, too. Finally someone with the same feeling 😂😂
Would be more interesting to see your take on YEN.
Yeah this was absolutely brilliant, one of your best mate. Keep it up
I need to catch up on your UA-cam analysis videos Justin! 🥰 My sister’s boyfriend loves Slipknot, I find the whole mask thing scary!
6:53 - the solo sounds like Bronski Beat's, "Smalltown Boy" in a different key.
The reaction video I did not know I needed and so glad I got it!
You did a really awesome job breaking this down bro
Most Slipknot songs are in Drop B , a few in Drop A , and the occasional standard tuning song .
Enjoy the channel Justin .
Slipknot headlining Download 3 times and despite not being their biggest fan I was at every single gig they headlined. Pure carnage live. I've also seen The Darkness at Download once and Hot Leg in 2009 in Newport with Extreme. All hail Nuno Bettencourt 🙌
Corey Taylir, the singer, has an affi ity fir 80's pip, rock, glam, so it wouldn't be surprising if he took inspiration from an 80's band in coming up with the vocal melody. He is a HUGE Steel Panther fan lol.
I like how you break it down using the acoustic
Love your podcast, your spirit, musical taste, and voice! Keep Rockin’!
I utterly adore you mate. Thanks for great daily content.
JH you have made my day playing Live is Life by Opus.
Question. 'A masterful piece of releasery' is such a wonderful "euphemism." Can I use that as an album title?
You should listen to Biffy Clyro, they have some wonderful guitar work!
Or Empire State Bastard if you're feeling nasty... Simon Neil's metal band
You are just too adorable! And I can't believe how excited I get when I get a notification about a new video!
Love these analysis. You should do UFO Space Disco by Birrell or Biscuit, we’re supporting you
Justin, can you arrange to have your bands’ catalog uploaded to major streaming services like Amazon Music, Apple Music, etc. to the best quality files? Mere HD CD quality isn’t enough when we can have you and your bands’ amazingness in the crispiest highest quality Digital Lossless with Dolby and Spatial Audio engaged!
Thanks for all the laughs and amazing content every single day! Me and my service dog, Hughie (Huey), love listening to you - well he mostly loves hearing the JHRA channel theme song anyway, lol. 😂
They are not on there!?? I'm surprised to be honest, but yes i would like to listen to there back catalogue in good audio. I've not really delved into their albums so would be interesting to hear.
