Mister X the f@ck you talking about?! You realize the reason why 7 of every 10 suicides are white men is because of BS mentalities like yours? If men are ridiculed for being weak or cowardly for crying or showing weakness; it takes real heart to still be able to, because that is standing against crowds of people like you who really don’t give a f@ck
My best friend committed suicide the other night. This was one of his favorite songs. I'm definitely gonna blast this for him. Rest in Peace Christopher Wayne Ramsey. I love you brother.
Corey Taylor said "it's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down. At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself"
I really came close to crying. Obviously I didn't know Paul, I wasn't even a fan during his time. However, the emotion and power of this music makes it impossible not to feel what he was feeling at this moment. You can tell that he is channeling all of his sorrow and anger into his performance, and that makes it so much more real than any top 40s artist who just spews out meaningless lyrics written by a committee who designed them to be catchy and easy to sell to ignorant people. This is the spirit of a real musician.
Candy Hardee i could understand being emotional and having strong feelings but why would you break down for someone you hardly know just because you met him once or maybe a few times and cuz he gave you a mask, i domt know but imo i think thats retarded!!! i could understand if it was a close friend or something or someone you knew for a long time and had history with, someone one you meet for the first time or someone you listen to in the radio is not worth breaking down over, you dont know what kind of person they are and how they would truelly treat you personelly, reading some of these comments just make me realise most people are dumb!!!!!!!!!!
"Slipknot shouldn't be allowed to make music." one person said in my guitar class... and as my teacher said, "Music is art, something you feel, you may not feel music like slipknot, others do." I dare him to listen to snuff and say this isn't music, it's a masterpiece if I do say so myself, rest in peace, Paul, we miss you, brother.
Snuff is a masterpiece that Slipknot fans will never get tired of. Its so full of emotion, for christ sakes Corey Fuckin Taylor is trying not to bawl his eyes out in the middle of the song.
As a Christian, a roman Catholic one at that. I love slipknot, have done since Iowa. They remind us there's a bit of the devil in all of us. Its just about keeping that sucker in check. On top if that, Corey is hands down one if the best vocalists EVER
this guy is an absolute fucking genius, he is so talented and his music is like no others. if you want to cry then watch this video, this is a man pouring his heart and soul into a song.
or you know.... he wasn't really crying at all lol cause thats an involuntary throat reaction, to kinda choke when you cry... even though you try to hold it so bad
+JopezoFIN Same man, just seeing him like that actually really shatters my spirit... Corey didn't deserve what happened to him, but everything happens for a reason. Just like what Corey has said before "At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself" He's gone through so much heartache and down falls in his life on and off. First song I ever heard from these guys when I was 9, till this very day. It still makes me cry because he's a great guy and like I said, "He didn't deserve all of these downfalls in his life."
darkangel no. The song was about that but this performance in particular of this song was dedicated to Paul Gray, Slipknots late bass player who tragically died of a drug overdose in May of 2010 R.I.P Paul Gray 1972 - 2010
People always peg Slipknot as this evil, twisted or satanic band, usually for no other reason than because of the way they dress and their horror movie type masks. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sure, some songs are dark, but a lot of their music is very emotional and this right here proves that they are human beings who love and care just like the rest of us. Very hard to watch a grown man cry like that. RIP Paul. Thank you for all the joy you brought to those around you and for all of the kickass tunes you gave us.
AKGuitarist To expand on that thought: A lot of people are under the impression that if a song is heavy then it must be filled with hatred and aggression and only mellow songs can be emotional. Just because a song is heavy doesn't mean it isn't emotional in much the same way that just because a song is mellow makes any less evil.
AKGuitarist People will be people & they can be pretty damn clueless. isn't it amazing that a lot of so called "dark" music reflects society? You made good valid points.
@@rensverhoef2339 skip to 3:25 that's for Paul right crying his eye out while singing these lines- So break yourself against my stones And spit your pity in my soul You never needed any help You sold me out to save yourself
The true feelings of a Heavy Metal frontman who lost one of his closest friends, when his voice cracks and he looks up at the ceiling then you KNOW he’s really feeling Paul’s spirit and can’t handle the sadness, RIP Paul Grey, I hope you’re looking after Corey and the rest of Slipknot, admiring their progress as a band, Slipknot really isn’t the same without Paul... but I know he’s smiling down on the band and helping them through it all..! Just like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park... sometimes I get the feeling that Paul Grey, Chris Cornell, and Chester Bennington are all watching over not only their respective bands, but also everyone else’s... we lost those three too soon... but, they’re there to show their bands the light and keep them going..! Sorry, this is turning into a bit of a rant... I guess I’ll just end this comment with... sleep in heavenly peace Paul Grey, Chris Cornell, and Chester Bennington, may you three guide your bands and let them know that you three are there... 🤘 Edit: and now we must add Joey Jordison to the mix… this song is even harder for Corey… I always tear up when I watch this video… or any live acoustic version of “Snuff” in general…
Corey Taylor is my absolute favorite singer/songwriter. Everything he does, he does it with passion. You can feel his anguish during this performance. I'm battling depression as well, and a lot of his music has helped me cope. It let's me realize that I'm not the only one dealing with this darkness. Thank you Corey for being a rock for myself and I'm sure many others.
@Malix Corvin. I've dealt with depression since I was six years old. Before Slipknot and Stone Sour, I discovered Alice In Chains, and songs like Down in a hole, Brother, Rotten Apple, Would and Nutshell helped me get through. People always asked me why I listened to sad music if I was sad, and all I could say was "they understand what I'm going through, and they made it through to write about it". Depression is a constant fight, but if I can get through it, believe me so can you! Never stop fighting, and keep on rocking! Peace!!!
Death Machine well, guys cry whenever they need to, i used to cry alot, cuz i was sad and stressed, the only reason i dont cry very much now is because im living with almost no stress, same could be said for a girl too
Death Machine So you know every guy on earth so you're aware of what the vast majority are thinking? I can tell you that guys that dont cry in public usually cry when they're alone, society made it taboo for us to feel sadness, but if you catch a guy when he thinks he's completely alone, youd see a different side in alot of men
Stupid2669 you must live in a rough area bro, ive only been mocked a couple times and the people that did it always got a "long talk" with my friends, you might not believe it but im apparently "rolling with the big boys" and they all respect me, i let them know right off the bat how I view emotions and since i stand for it they respect me about it, im by no means some "pc asshat" i just speak the truth, stand for something or fall for everything. If what you stand for is men being allowed to cry then you better flaunt it because if you dont then you're just as bad as the people who dont think emotions are ok
i respect that he cried in front of so many people. it takes balls just for him to stand in front of so many, and even more to breakdown woth emotion like that. corey has every ounce of my respect.
You know what got me into tears? When he looked up, as if he was saying... This is for you Paul... Let's rock this crowd one last time together, even if you're not here anymore!
For those who don't know, this song is about Corey's first divorce, not about Paul. The reason Corey has such an emotional bond to this song is because this was the last song they recording for All Hope is Gone, and thus the last song Paul and Corey worked together on. And like Corey had said, "They were like brothers."
Cory Taylor is by far the most genuine person in music. This song always hit my heart but this performance really brought out the tears. I could feel the emotional pain of his heart being broken from loss.
justin thompson I agree. I never got round to them until the past year, and found The Grey Chapter to be one of the most honest, heartfelt albums of last year
God damn... My dad was a Marine, I always cried when I saw him come from after seven long months of hoping he isn't dead. The thought of losing him made me cry every night. I've been strong on emotions ever since, but this is different. It's the same thought, only instead of it not happening, it happened, and you can't change it. He poured his heart and soul into the song, you know Paul meant so much to him...
This is by far the best music perfomance i have ever seen. No one ever showed me this much, that he expressed the way he feels with his music.. Corey Taylor, i know you lost a member of your family, i'm sorry about that, but you showed all the people around the world, that you're human and not ajust a guy behind a mask...
***** could please explain how crying over emotional pain make's you a chump, I'm man enough to say that I cry sometimes, but I can also assure you that I'm far from being a chump.
James Alexander Hey James, I guess you didn't see it but my comment of "what a fucking chump" was in reply to +RunDCM - Somebody else made a comment about how tears were coming out of their eyes and his reply was " where else would tears come out of, your ass?" I was by no means calling Corey a chump. Misuderstandings are bitch no? *wink*
Corey makes me very emotional... even when he is happy. He reminds me of my dad when my dad wasn’t a drug addict and was still himself. My dad even looks like Corey. ❤️
I haven't really cried in about 2 years and this broke me. I don't know if it's just today or the fact that you really see the pain in Corey's face. It's something really emotional when someone who plays as a tough hardcore vocalist shows their truly human parts. The bond between Paul and Corey is very evident and you can really see how broken he had become. It's just so genuine and beautiful and I give props to Corey for their new album and thanks to Paul Gray for his ultimate skills.
tyler mitchell crying isn't a sign of weakness, I wish I hadn't waited that long honestly. I understand what you meant though, thank you for the compliment.
I have felt the same. Listen I have a band and my next song will be about this song and what i'm i'm saying is I felt the same way coery tatlor did and I want to sing about how people despised me and how I loved on and they turned their back on me for nothing and left me exept I hate when i'm alone thanks to you and this song too paul gray and corey taylor
I sang this song at karaoke the night I filed for divorce after almost 25 years. I sang it again the day after my divorce was final. It helped me get through it and move on.
I am always amazed at how well musicians can hold it together when singing something emotional like this. I was blubbering just watching him. Thanks for posting!
Damn, this beats all of the emotional sobbing performances of other artists who just stop mid song. The pain just added to the vocals and made them stronger
i played this at my friends funeral after hurricane sandy hit she got killed by a falling tree when i heard i was devastated i almost killed myself i knew her from back when we were five years old and i was dating her and was gonna ask her to marry me i started drinking profusely and locking myself in my room but then realized she wouldn't want me to live like that so i recovered for her
+Ian Loeb We were hit hard with sandy too. I heard a few of the tragedies on the news after it was over and I'm so sorry for your loss. A tattoo sounds so sweet and you're an amazing friend
I know how you feel. I lost my soul mate. Even though it is coming up on 15 years since he passed, I still miss him & love him. Loss is rough. There is no " easy button" to healing. I think getting a memorial tattoo would be a beautiful way to show your love for her forever.
+Gavin Paterson what's wrong with being a homosexual? All of my closest friends are not completely straight :/ they're like Pan, Bi, lesbian, gay, trans, asexual, agender, aromantic, non-binary, gender fluid, and we have a LGBT club at our school lol and to be quite honest I had no idea what most of these words meant six months ago. So feel free to look them up *friendly grin*
+2PunkRock4u \m/ lol thank you :) I identify as gender flexible and pansexual, so I take it upon myself to be the nuisance the rest of us are afraid to be... I'm not closeted, my mom supports me, so I think all people should just respect it. it isn't a choice. no one just decides to make their life harder. who wakes up one day deciding "hey! I'm gonna tell everyone I'm gay and get myself emotionally crucified!" I mean... I respect masochists too, so if anyone actually wants to do that then I don't judge lol let people live the way they want to live within the constraints of the law. individuality makes the world go round after all
+2PunkRock4u \m/ that's cool :) good luck with your girlfriend, I have a boyfriend, but I know for a fact that I notice girls too. I'm to the point where I'll see a person, be unable to tell their gender (it's really confusing with some people), but still be like "oh that human is cute" so I think that makes me pan. i don't care about the physical much at all though lol I care about personality and compatibility by bf is bisexual, so we both kinda are like "am I the only one checking her/him out?" and we usually are when the topic pops up lol I just want people to get along. prejudice ticks me off to no end. there's a lot of prejudice against my friend group because of religion and sexuality and it's irritating as hell. my bf came out as bi to his extended family and now they're harassing him apparently. like really. he has a gf, admits to liking guys too, and still gets torn to shreds. it's stupid. my brother is asexual so my parents are probably just happy I'm possibly gonna have offspring
That's straight up fuckin metal man, I don't care what anyone says. Losing anyone, in any form is some of the worst non-physical pain you can experience. My heart goes out to him for finishing strong and continuing to make badass music with one of the greatest bands ever. Rock the fuck on! \m/
4:13 Whoever the fuck screamed "Sing it baby, come on! " after Corey broke down, the deepest pit of hell has opened and the devil is patiently waiting for you.
I have nothing but respect for Corey Taylor crying like he did. A man like him, headstrong to the core and built to last, showing his soft side during a song for Paul Gray. Saying he is a pussy for crying on stage is like saying you wouldn't care if your loved ones passed. Everyone is human, and everyone cries, sometimes on the inside and outside. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth. R.I.P. Paul Gray, #2 all the way. And respect to Corey Taylor, for letting his emotions be seen.
Now, I have more respect over Corey....I always liked and admired him...Corey is not only a Badass, he also have a heart of a Angel!!! I wanna give a hug to him tightly..a Salute to him...This shows the emotional side of Corey and love for late Paul Gray... R.I.P. Paul \m/
The only reason why they feel they need to do this, to name an album after Paul, to linger onto his death till the point where it becomes downright pathetic is because (according to Pauls wife) no one showed ANY interest to actually intervene while Paul was locked up in his room shooting up. And now they will regret that for the rest of their lives. I know how it feels.
You can really hear the pain in his voice at 3:08, Corey Taylor is honestly one of the most genuine people I've ever seen. Brother you deserve so much, Paul's definitely proud of ya.
to all those who say he just screams and has no talent to those i give you this and paul how much you are missed cannot be put into words i just had wished i had gotten the chance to see you live see you later man rip
The hurt and pain in his voice, that came from deep within....the love he had for his brother in the band really speaks to a lot of us...he's human just like us. It's okay to show emotion and cry. So powerful.
This is prove to all those stereotypical people who think metal band/singers are dark, evil and have no feelings. In fact, they are probably the complete opposite. For example: -Blink 182- Made 'Adam's Song' after a fan wrote to them and then committed suicide after. -Nirvana- They stayed up hours after concerts to respond to fan mail. -Metallica- A 90 year old woman wrote to them saying their her favorite band. They visted her straight away. Then you have the people who think are perfect, or did: Justin B- Well, what do I have to say? Done drugs, spat on fans, drink driving, 2 hours late to concert. So on and so forth One Diraction- Denied to visit a child who had cancer because they found out they won't get payed.
Totally agree with you! I find the metal crowd are a much more "feeling" group. They understand the MUSIC and what's involved in it so much more! The lyrics of metal songs quite often have so much more meaning. When my old band were writing, it wasn't just random words, each song had a meaning. Lyrics mean something in metal. As for the bands themselves. I find that metal bands are more willing to help in the community, often it's for kids who are coming from a similar background as themselves. While this song was originally about a lost love, it has become the song used most to symbolise the love for Paul Gray. Metal isn't just a collection of bands and fans. It's a huge family!
What annoys me with "music" here is that they play all that rubbish, but when the actually play requests for people the music is generally more rocky (it may be a lot of bon jovi or stuff like that, but I have so much more respect for stuff like bon jovi that I do for the rubbish they play nowadays). I love metal myself personally but I do have respect for BANDS, not pop crap!!!
EpicPwnerXP I agree completely. People think metal is all dark, evil music, but if you really listen to the lyrics, metal is probably the most perfect, down-to-earth music ever created. Example; ever since "The Rev" in Avenged Sevenfold died, it seems they've made a song in every album for him. "Fiction", "St. James", "So Far Away" etc. I think it's great when bands like Slipknot have moments like these (even though it was only 1 person), because it shows that they ARE just human, just like everybody else in the world. It's amazing that they can take all of that and put it into great music.
Just in case anyone wanted to know the tuning its: C# G# E B F# C# It's going from high E down. OR that's the tuning in studio. He could be using something else here.
To the hateful comments calling him weak for crying...Saying its gay...saying its not manly...He lost one of his best friends, for gods sake show some damned respect. If you lose a loved one, you dont just go on like nothing happened, it hurts, and it doesnt very much go away. You're the weak ones for being so closed minded about other people and their emotions. Someone who is weak is someone who is afraid to show their sorrow, whos afraid to open up, all it does is put your insecurities to the forefront.
what happens when you dont cry the pain only doubles, its pretty naturally that we cry. seeing how there is tearducts in our bodys for millions of years
Freemo Plays Accepting grief and pain through crying is one of the best ways to cope and come to terms with the issues at hand, sort of like an emotional poo
Thinking about Corey and how this song relates to him I think of this song *hitting him like a 10 ton pallet of bricks emotionally.* I'm just listening to it and it hits me at an emotional core that I didn't think I had. It's astounding that he was able to articulate his emotions and even more incredible that he could preform something so personal in public for the world to see him. I'm a big fan of "made of scars" by stone sour (Also Corey Taylor) but snuff proves that scars run deeper than the skin and flesh especially in Corey.
His music saved me. I just went through a break up like a week ago. When i listened to snuff i started to have a breakdown. It feels good to let those emotions out after holding it in. Thank You, Corey!
So, I don't follow Slipknot but UA-cam brought me to this song and eventually to this video and I began an adventure and found out the true essence of this band. Wow. The feels are deep!! I just shed more tears than I thought I would. RIP Paul
Don't worry Corey, there isn't a slipknot fan alive that hasn't shed a tear to snuff
If this isnt the truest statement I dont know what is
Even if there is the tears we all shed make up for it
I sure have!
Agreed. I have cried so damned hard listening to this song. So many times.
I haven't but I wanted to
Boys don't cry,
but men do.
+SMTG Not enough people have stepped into their shadow
Boys cry all the time bro, little kids etc lol but yeah... What are you on about again?

Its hard for Corey because Paul was his friend and treats him like a brother

That's what it was written about, at the time, but ever since Paul died, it's been his anthem.
Omg when he cried at the end, I wanted to give him a hug soooo badly
whenever i watch this i feel like shouting "we love you corey" and that makes me cry more
ain't that a dream come true.
i'm guessing you wanted to hug him before that

Just like what Corey has said before "At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself"
He's gone through so much heartache and down falls in his life on and off. First song I ever heard from these guys when I was 9, till this very day. It still makes me cry because he's a great guy and like I said, "He didn't deserve all of these downfalls in his life."
+susubear13 jerry hsu belongs on chocolate not enjoi. I'm glad he's on it now
its hard to watch this. you can see the pain in his eyes
I know he's hurting but he's. A tough man with emotions
I can't see it in 480 :(
this song tells his story thats why its so emotional for him to sing
darkangel no. The song was about that but this performance in particular of this song was dedicated to Paul Gray, Slipknots late bass player who tragically died of a drug overdose in May of 2010
R.I.P Paul Gray 1972 - 2010
RIP Paul and RIP Joey. Rhythm section jamming it up rn.
People always peg Slipknot as this evil, twisted or satanic band, usually for no other reason than because of the way they dress and their horror movie type masks. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sure, some songs are dark, but a lot of their music is very emotional and this right here proves that they are human beings who love and care just like the rest of us. Very hard to watch a grown man cry like that. RIP Paul. Thank you for all the joy you brought to those around you and for all of the kickass tunes you gave us.
AKGuitarist To expand on that thought: A lot of people are under the impression that if a song is heavy then it must be filled with hatred and aggression and only mellow songs can be emotional. Just because a song is heavy doesn't mean it isn't emotional in much the same way that just because a song is mellow makes any less evil.
AKGuitarist People will be people & they can be pretty damn clueless. isn't it amazing that a lot of so called "dark" music reflects society? You made good valid points.
AKGuitarist Perfect example, Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn.
Joe Washburn
Most KSE is very emotional. Good stuff! The bands Daylight Dies and Opeth both have some incredibly emotional music as well.
What happened to their bassist?
the way he looked at the air like paul was watching made me burst into tears
It was. Like. He saw him he was in that room
This song was written for a girl idiots
@@akhiltalukdar4074 read the description idiot he played it for paul and even sayd it it the intro of the video dumbass.
@@rensverhoef2339 I heard that dumb fuck..he mentioned earlier that snuff is very close and personal to him... He is shedding his tears for that girl
@@rensverhoef2339 skip to 3:25 that's for Paul right crying his eye out while singing these lines-
So break yourself against my stones
And spit your pity in my soul
You never needed any help
You sold me out to save yourself
Sometimes people just need a good cry. It really helps.
I read this and then saw your profile pic and Lol'd.
@@mattstephens6137 me too lol
Lol me too
I died lmao
Went from crying to laughing, man... Nice profile pic.
I still can't believe it's been over 10 years... Rest in power, Paul -- you're still missed.
He headbangs with joey up there..
Now they both headbang together ;((((
First time a song has made me cry, this is performance is gold
Not the first time for me but definitely the most emotional performance of it.
Rex Smith every time I listen to so fae away I cry
Cory Taylor is truly an Artist who wears his heart on his sleeve, and I respect him greatly for that honesty...
I swear to god, if I ever find out who's cutting onions, they're gonna get it.
***** fuck off lol
It's that dude in the corner
The fucking ninjas man... Ninjas
Lol no onions I'm afraid, just a grown man crying over a good friend.
Onions? Who me? : hides onions:
The true feelings of a Heavy Metal frontman who lost one of his closest friends, when his voice cracks and he looks up at the ceiling then you KNOW he’s really feeling Paul’s spirit and can’t handle the sadness,
RIP Paul Grey, I hope you’re looking after Corey and the rest of Slipknot, admiring their progress as a band, Slipknot really isn’t the same without Paul... but I know he’s smiling down on the band and helping them through it all..!
Just like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park... sometimes I get the feeling that Paul Grey, Chris Cornell, and Chester Bennington are all watching over not only their respective bands, but also everyone else’s... we lost those three too soon... but, they’re there to show their bands the light and keep them going..!
Sorry, this is turning into a bit of a rant... I guess I’ll just end this comment with... sleep in heavenly peace Paul Grey, Chris Cornell, and Chester Bennington, may you three guide your bands and let them know that you three are there... 🤘
Edit: and now we must add Joey Jordison to the mix… this song is even harder for Corey… I always tear up when I watch this video… or any live acoustic version of “Snuff” in general…
🤘🤘
🤘🤘🤘
And Kurt cobain \m/
Trey Marcum yes, and him too
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Corey Taylor is my absolute favorite singer/songwriter. Everything he does, he does it with passion. You can feel his anguish during this performance. I'm battling depression as well, and a lot of his music has helped me cope. It let's me realize that I'm not the only one dealing with this darkness. Thank you Corey for being a rock for myself and I'm sure many others.
I am a huge fan of Corey Taylor too
@Malix Corvin. I've dealt with depression since I was six years old. Before Slipknot and Stone Sour, I discovered Alice In Chains, and songs like Down in a hole, Brother, Rotten Apple, Would and Nutshell helped me get through. People always asked me why I listened to sad music if I was sad, and all I could say was "they understand what I'm going through, and they made it through to write about it". Depression is a constant fight, but if I can get through it, believe me so can you! Never stop fighting, and keep on rocking! Peace!!!
Guys don't even cry that much, it just goes to show how much heart Corey has, so much emotion in that song
Death Machine you understand thats just a stereotype, right? guys do cry, it aint rare.
Death Machine men do cry, not for themselves, but for their family
Death Machine well, guys cry whenever they need to, i used to cry alot, cuz i was sad and stressed, the only reason i dont cry very much now is because im living with almost no stress, same could be said for a girl too
Death Machine So you know every guy on earth so you're aware of what the vast majority are thinking? I can tell you that guys that dont cry in public usually cry when they're alone, society made it taboo for us to feel sadness, but if you catch a guy when he thinks he's completely alone, youd see a different side in alot of men
Stupid2669 you must live in a rough area bro, ive only been mocked a couple times and the people that did it always got a "long talk" with my friends, you might not believe it but im apparently "rolling with the big boys" and they all respect me, i let them know right off the bat how I view emotions and since i stand for it they respect me about it, im by no means some "pc asshat" i just speak the truth, stand for something or fall for everything. If what you stand for is men being allowed to cry then you better flaunt it because if you dont then you're just as bad as the people who dont think emotions are ok
The saddest part about the video is that near the end he was looking up like paul was watching him
And the best part is that maybe he was watching him
you can tell he's felt this pain so many times before. brings a man to tears.
R.I.P James Sullivan, Paul Gray, Wayne Static,Ronnie James Deo, and Dimebag Darrel. All legendary rockers! \M/
Cliff burton, never forget cliff!
Also Dime bag darryl never forget him either!
oh yeah! sorry dimebag
Jamison Stauffacher Dio*
Wayne static
It's crazy seeing him sing heavy metal in a creepy mask, then here almost crying
Corey is just a big lover boy
that's all about being human...
at the end of the day were all human beings. he lost a great friend that's never easy
that's a true artist where words come from the heart
He's still a human
i respect that he cried in front of so many people. it takes balls just for him to stand in front of so many, and even more to breakdown woth emotion like that. corey has every ounce of my respect.
And it takes talent to sing like that while feeling pain.
*I'm watching this with only one hand.*
I'm wiping my tears with the other hand.
So it takes hands to watch a video now?
SirAlpaca well, holding phone
@@Ake-TL What kind of psychopath holds the phone with 2 hands while watching a video?
@@Rayven_420 fullscreen
@@ultraoof4545 I hold my phone with one hand in full screen.
You know what got me into tears? When he looked up, as if he was saying... This is for you Paul... Let's rock this crowd one last time together, even if you're not here anymore!
40th like. Amen
For those who don't know, this song is about Corey's first divorce, not about Paul.
The reason Corey has such an emotional bond to this song is because this was the last song they recording for All Hope is Gone, and thus the last song Paul and Corey worked together on. And like Corey had said, "They were like brothers."
+AlphaLineGaming Also, it was Paul's favorite song when they were recording. Corey said Paul would sing it in between takes.
+Michaels Covers also excluding a few of the lyrics it can be applied to losing a friend
And since Corey always looked up to Paul. It meant the world to Corey that, this is Paul's Favorite.
Yeah I was gonna say when it says “I still press your letters to my lips” I was like they gotta gay bond?
@@Cole-eo6cb if your tryin to be funny you should be with amy schumer
Cory Taylor is by far the most genuine person in music. This song always hit my heart but this performance really brought out the tears. I could feel the emotional pain of his heart being broken from loss.
After actually trying to play it I realize the weight of his words. Truly a soulful musician.
You can totally tell he's powering through the song as fast as possible. This song brings so much pain, it's hard to get through as intended slowly.
"I still press your letters to my lips" that fucking line gets me every damn time.
I thought it was "I still press your lettuce toy lips" no jokes!
Bryce Colvert Me too bro.
Cody B Why would he press them to his ears?
Cody B That's because some people show emotion more than others, you showing less than someone who would do that over a lost lover.
Slipknot is my favorite for the exact reason of how much emotion and meaning they put into their music
justin thompson i know that is the reason that they are my favorite bend too
andrija krsmanovic my favorite bend, ahahaha
mine too
Timothe Pierre Hussenet ^
justin thompson I agree. I never got round to them until the past year, and found The Grey Chapter to be one of the most honest, heartfelt albums of last year
God damn...
My dad was a Marine, I always cried when I saw him come from after seven long months of hoping he isn't dead. The thought of losing him made me cry every night. I've been strong on emotions ever since, but this is different. It's the same thought, only instead of it not happening, it happened, and you can't change it. He poured his heart and soul into the song, you know Paul meant so much to him...
Mr. Universe your father is a hero. I thank him for his service.
Tell him that I thank him for his service.
Mr. Fancypants your dad is a hero tell him I said thanks
Respect to your father man. This song isnt for Paul though, just so you know brother.
It wasn't written for him, but after he died they dedicated it to him...
“This is a bad day for rain”
“It’s not raining...”

You could tell he was singing every note for Paul. What a wonderful man.

True
Please explain the lyrics in slamming brutal death metal
Exactly
bull shit. This isn't even metal its a power ballet.
You have to love metal, to understand the meaning and feelings behind
You can tell when someone sings with their soul.
You know you're a true Slipknot fan when you cry the second he says Paul's name😢R.I.P. PAUL GRAY
Crying doesn't make Corey a pussy it only make him human....
You deserves a medal. No I'm serious, you're not negative about Corey. You're right.
holy shit one of the only people in the comments using their brain, this is a rare find must take a picture, but really you are right.
This is by far the best music perfomance i have ever seen.
No one ever showed me this much, that he expressed the way he feels with his music.. Corey Taylor, i know you lost a member of your family, i'm sorry about that, but you showed all the people around the world, that you're human and not ajust a guy behind a mask...
I cried.
Speedy00
Most positive comment I've seen on here. Nice to see someone has a brain and a heart.
I have never cried before listening to a song or watching a video. Until now. Tears are coming out of my eyes. RIP Paul Dedrick Gray.
Me too :'(
Of course tears are coming out of your eyes. Where else would they come out your ass cheeks?
***** could please explain how crying over emotional pain make's you a chump, I'm man enough to say that I cry sometimes, but I can also assure you that I'm far from being a chump.
***** not worth wasting your spit on.
James Alexander Hey James, I guess you didn't see it but my comment of "what a fucking chump" was in reply to +RunDCM - Somebody else made a comment about how tears were coming out of their eyes and his reply was " where else would tears come out of, your ass?" I was by no means calling Corey a chump. Misuderstandings are bitch no? *wink*
goddamnit I hardly know Slipknot's music and I'm weeping like a child damn you corey taylor
Sara Mantilaro My all time fav band. Will never get bored of their music
Skillsthatk1lls The truth has been spoken.
dodragonsk last week i went 3 days in a row only listening to slipknot lol like 6 hrs a day
Skillsthatk1lls Pretty much the same. I'm so fucking sad that I didn't found them when Paul and Joey were still around...
same
Corey makes me very emotional... even when he is happy. He reminds me of my dad when my dad wasn’t a drug addict and was still himself. My dad even looks like Corey. ❤️
Ollie Potter I’m sad for you and I truly wish you your dad will become sober one day.
You rarely see someone pour their soul into a song anymore but Corey Taylor is such a genuine human being. It's always inspiring to see him perform.
"metalheads are full of hate! and they don't have any other feelings"
said every asshole ever
i almost cried
True
i did, and will many times to this song
metalheads are the ones that are able to spend the anger within them for something more than arguing and drama
I haven't really cried in about 2 years and this broke me. I don't know if it's just today or the fact that you really see the pain in Corey's face. It's something really emotional when someone who plays as a tough hardcore vocalist shows their truly human parts. The bond between Paul and Corey is very evident and you can really see how broken he had become. It's just so genuine and beautiful and I give props to Corey for their new album and thanks to Paul Gray for his ultimate skills.
you didnt cried in two years?!? damn that's impressive and strong. lol
tyler mitchell crying isn't a sign of weakness, I wish I hadn't waited that long honestly. I understand what you meant though, thank you for the compliment.
yeah same I just was numb for about 4 years, nothing made me cry but this really got to me, ohhhhh my god it broke me
I have felt the same. Listen I have a band and my next song will be about this song and what i'm i'm saying is I felt the same way coery tatlor did and I want to sing about how people despised me and how I loved on and they turned their back on me for nothing and left me exept I hate when i'm alone thanks to you and this song too paul gray and corey taylor
Wait this song is about paul?
I sang this song at karaoke the night I filed for divorce after almost 25 years. I sang it again the day after my divorce was final. It helped me get through it and move on.
This is real music coming straight from the heart. Corey is an awesome artist:)
I am always amazed at how well musicians can hold it together when singing something emotional like this. I was blubbering just watching him. Thanks for posting!
Yes we miss you Paul
But that is no reason to cut onions around us❤
ig: lukecaro.drums ITS AB HIS EX WIFE
Veronica Kelly Maybe originally, but after Paul died I imagine the song took new meaning
@@mikehunt9434 i don't think so, he always starts to cry after " spit your pity un My soul" and it's obiously about his ex
@That Fat Guy From GTA SA sex ;)
We miss Joey too...
Damn, this beats all of the emotional sobbing performances of other artists who just stop mid song. The pain just added to the vocals and made them stronger
I'm not crying your crying
Well...you're not wrong

I've been listening when I was a kid. grew up on this stuff. love it.

i played this at my friends funeral after hurricane sandy hit she got killed by a falling tree when i heard i was devastated i almost killed myself i knew her from back when we were five years old and i was dating her and was gonna ask her to marry me i started drinking profusely and locking myself in my room but then realized she wouldn't want me to live like that so i recovered for her
Damn Hurricane Sandy! Sorry to hear that
TheWaitingGuy 03 yeah i'm thinking about getting a memorial tattoo for her
+Ian Loeb We were hit hard with sandy too. I heard a few of the tragedies on the news after it was over and I'm so sorry for your loss. A tattoo sounds so sweet and you're an amazing friend
matt lovett thanks
I know how you feel. I lost my soul mate. Even though it is coming up on 15 years since he passed, I still miss him & love him. Loss is rough. There is no " easy button" to healing. I think getting a memorial tattoo would be a beautiful way to show your love for her forever.
Those lyrics man are like daggers thru the heart. More power to you Corey. Rip Paul.
Wow, what a powerful performance.. You'd have to be heartless to not shed a tear watching this.
Yeah great performance. I almost cried just seing him cry!
I did, more than I care to admit.

I didn't cry, but I was pretty bloody close to it. He brings so much emotion to this song...

+Green Player that's because you are homosexual.
you're
+Gavin Paterson what's wrong with being a homosexual? All of my closest friends are not completely straight :/ they're like Pan, Bi, lesbian, gay, trans, asexual, agender, aromantic, non-binary, gender fluid, and we have a LGBT club at our school lol and to be quite honest I had no idea what most of these words meant six months ago. So feel free to look them up *friendly grin*
+2PunkRock4u \m/ lol thank you :) I identify as gender flexible and pansexual, so I take it upon myself to be the nuisance the rest of us are afraid to be...
I'm not closeted, my mom supports me, so I think all people should just respect it. it isn't a choice. no one just decides to make their life harder. who wakes up one day deciding "hey! I'm gonna tell everyone I'm gay and get myself emotionally crucified!"
I mean... I respect masochists too, so if anyone actually wants to do that then I don't judge lol
let people live the way they want to live within the constraints of the law. individuality makes the world go round after all
+2PunkRock4u \m/ that's cool :) good luck with your girlfriend, I have a boyfriend, but I know for a fact that I notice girls too. I'm to the point where I'll see a person, be unable to tell their gender (it's really confusing with some people), but still be like "oh that human is cute"
so I think that makes me pan. i don't care about the physical much at all though lol I care about personality and compatibility
by bf is bisexual, so we both kinda are like "am I the only one checking her/him out?" and we usually are when the topic pops up lol
I just want people to get along. prejudice ticks me off to no end. there's a lot of prejudice against my friend group because of religion and sexuality and it's irritating as hell. my bf came out as bi to his extended family and now they're harassing him apparently. like really. he has a gf, admits to liking guys too, and still gets torn to shreds. it's stupid. my brother is asexual so my parents are probably just happy I'm possibly gonna have offspring
Not afraid to cry in front of an audience. Now THAT's punk rock.
That's straight up fuckin metal man, I don't care what anyone says. Losing anyone, in any form is some of the worst non-physical pain you can experience. My heart goes out to him for finishing strong and continuing to make badass music with one of the greatest bands ever. Rock the fuck on! \m/

I see what you did there
I have nothing but respect for Corey Taylor crying like he did. A man like him, headstrong to the core and built to last, showing his soft side during a song for Paul Gray. Saying he is a pussy for crying on stage is like saying you wouldn't care if your loved ones passed. Everyone is human, and everyone cries, sometimes on the inside and outside. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth. R.I.P. Paul Gray, #2 all the way. And respect to Corey Taylor, for letting his emotions be seen.
Couldn't have said it better,Lee.
Now, I have more respect over Corey....I always liked and admired him...Corey is not only a Badass, he also have a heart of a Angel!!! I wanna give a hug to him tightly..a Salute to him...This shows the emotional side of Corey and love for late Paul Gray... R.I.P. Paul \m/
Thank U Bro.. :-) greetings from india...
I couldn't have said it myself. Love and greetings from U.S.
Love you man
i look on Corey as my hero...i was heavily influenced with drugs and booze...then i knew him...he inspires me so much...and i love him
The only reason why they feel they need to do this, to name an album after Paul, to linger onto his death till the point where it becomes downright pathetic is because (according to Pauls wife) no one showed ANY interest to actually intervene while Paul was locked up in his room shooting up. And now they will regret that for the rest of their lives. I know how it feels.
You can really hear the pain in his voice at 3:08, Corey Taylor is honestly one of the most genuine people I've ever seen. Brother you deserve so much, Paul's definitely proud of ya.
to all those who say he just screams and has no talent to those i give you this and paul how much you are missed cannot be put into words i just had wished i had gotten the chance to see you live see you later man rip
Corey is one the greats of this era.
My son had this as his ring back and he died of cancer i cry when I hear this song
The hurt and pain in his voice, that came from deep within....the love he had for his brother in the band really speaks to a lot of us...he's human just like us. It's okay to show emotion and cry. So powerful.
A band that actually loves fans and doesn't pretend to
Absolutetly.
This is prove to all those stereotypical people who think metal band/singers are dark, evil and have no feelings. In fact, they are probably the complete opposite.
For example:
-Blink 182- Made 'Adam's Song' after a fan wrote to them and then committed suicide after.
-Nirvana- They stayed up hours after concerts to respond to fan mail.
-Metallica- A 90 year old woman wrote to them saying their her favorite band. They visted her straight away.
Then you have the people who think are perfect, or did:
Justin B- Well, what do I have to say? Done drugs, spat on fans, drink driving, 2 hours late to concert. So on and so forth
One Diraction- Denied to visit a child who had cancer because they found out they won't get payed.
Totally agree with you! I find the metal crowd are a much more "feeling" group. They understand the MUSIC and what's involved in it so much more! The lyrics of metal songs quite often have so much more meaning. When my old band were writing, it wasn't just random words, each song had a meaning. Lyrics mean something in metal. As for the bands themselves. I find that metal bands are more willing to help in the community, often it's for kids who are coming from a similar background as themselves. While this song was originally about a lost love, it has become the song used most to symbolise the love for Paul Gray. Metal isn't just a collection of bands and fans. It's a huge family!
What annoys me with "music" here is that they play all that rubbish, but when the actually play requests for people the music is generally more rocky (it may be a lot of bon jovi or stuff like that, but I have so much more respect for stuff like bon jovi that I do for the rubbish they play nowadays). I love metal myself personally but I do have respect for BANDS, not pop crap!!!
EpicPwnerXP
I agree completely. People think metal is all dark, evil music, but if you really listen to the lyrics, metal is probably the most perfect, down-to-earth music ever created. Example; ever since "The Rev" in Avenged Sevenfold died, it seems they've made a song in every album for him. "Fiction", "St. James", "So Far Away" etc. I think it's great when bands like Slipknot have moments like these (even though it was only 1 person), because it shows that they ARE just human, just like everybody else in the world. It's amazing that they can take all of that and put it into great music.
awesome doesn't even begin to convey what Im feeling right now reading this
You rote a comment that describes what in our hearts.. thank u
The balls a man like him has to write such deep words and sing them and share them with millions. Saved a lot of peo0le with this kind of music

C#
It's going from high E down.
OR that's the tuning in studio. He could be using something else here.

Thank you friend
I cried at the moment corey looked up to the heavens
To the hateful comments calling him weak for crying...Saying its gay...saying its not manly...He lost one of his best friends, for gods sake show some damned respect. If you lose a loved one, you dont just go on like nothing happened, it hurts, and it doesnt very much go away.
You're the weak ones for being so closed minded about other people and their emotions. Someone who is weak is someone who is afraid to show their sorrow, whos afraid to open up, all it does is put your insecurities to the forefront.
Well said.
what happens when you dont cry the pain only doubles, its pretty naturally that we cry. seeing how there is tearducts in our bodys for millions of years
sometimes, crying is the most manly thing to do
Freemo Plays Accepting grief and pain through crying is one of the best ways to cope and come to terms with the issues at hand, sort of like an emotional poo
Freemo Plays I agrea I agre
Seeing someone like Corey cry is just a sign of so much strength and braveness...
Thinking about Corey and how this song relates to him I think of this song *hitting him like a 10 ton pallet of bricks emotionally.*
I'm just listening to it and it hits me at an emotional core that I didn't think I had.
It's astounding that he was able to articulate his emotions and even more incredible that he could preform something so personal in public for the world to see him. I'm a big fan of "made of scars" by stone sour (Also Corey Taylor) but snuff proves that scars run deeper than the skin and flesh especially in Corey.
His music saved me. I just went through a break up like a week ago. When i listened to snuff i started to have a breakdown. It feels good to let those emotions out after holding it in. Thank You, Corey!
Wow, I've always loved and look up to Corey for his musical talents but his ability to convey emotion as well is absolutely amazing.
No matter how many times I hear this, I always cry when I listen to it.
So, I don't follow Slipknot but UA-cam brought me to this song and eventually to this video and I began an adventure and found out the true essence of this band. Wow. The feels are deep!! I just shed more tears than I thought I would.
RIP Paul
Passion, emotions, emphathy, goosebumps and shivers, a great voice - that's what I call a masterpiece ✊🔥💝
