What I love about Slipknot is that no matter what genre you like, everyone likes something about this band. The homie nodding his head to the beat, the homegirl liking the singing chorus, everyone loves something about this band. They truly are a band for all peoples
R.I.P. joey jordison. The main drummer and ex member in this video died today. Great reaction 👍🏻 i assure you they are nice people under those masks i hope you react to more by them.
@@thealaskanforever The Nonagram (9 Point Star) is the symbol that Slipknot has drawn by themselves. They didn't borrow it from any existing image. The Nonagram, for the band, is a symbol of unity with each other, it's the symbol of 9 people. You're both right but slipknot has referred to it as a nonogram themselves.
I see it as an anti-war song. "I did my time and I want out." The character is referring that he did his required time, either in Iraq, or in the military as a whole and wants out. "Go drill your deserts, go fill your graves" Pretty self explanatory. "Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save." While on deployment, troops make a lot more than back in the states. It's still not a lot, but compared to state-side, it's a small fortune. "I'm done! It has begun, I'm not the only one." The character is at his breaking point, he's fed up with the system as a whole. However, his psyche has been corrupted by what he has seen and done. There are others just like him. The chorus of the song refers to the overall corruption and death of a generation as a result of this war. "Fake anti-fascist lie." The lie based off of the poor intelligence that caused us to invade in the first place. "I've tried to tell you, but your purple hearts are giving out." The part about the purple hearts seems to have more than one meaning. The purple heart is a medal that the U.S. military members receive for being wounded in combat. Purple heart could also mean a literal heart that is in poor health. "Can't stop the killing idea. If it's hunting season. Is this what you want?" Now the character is out of the combat zone, back state-side, but all he has is a messed up psyche. Once the "kill switch" has been turned on, it doesn't turned off. All he has is pent up stress, homicidal and suicidal tendencies with a society that does not care or even blames him as part of the problem. Hence the whole term "Psychosocial."
The biggest difference in pay between stateside & combat deployments is that none of your pay is taxed at the federal level while you're in a combat zone. A lot of soldiers actually re-enlist while on deployments because that rule also applies to whatever cash bonus they get for signing up again.
You have a well written post, but I have to ask if you've ever served, and if you did; did you deploy? I am an Army Infantry vet. The hazard pay for being deployed seems like a good idea and incentive for people who don't bear the stress of the deployment. I can see how this is painted as an anti-war song certainly, as well as a few other ideas. I wanted to address what you said about the pay and the medals, because it paints an incorrect and overly simplistic picture of what its like to be a deployed soldier. The other comment that you made about "poor intelligence" is also misleading. I can say that because I spent my time in the Army specifically in Reconnaissance units. We failed to act appropriately based upon the gathered intelligence; there was no political will to do what needed to be done. And that was because the French, Germans, Russians and Chinese had MASSIVE oil for food deals with Bagdhad. And they were in charge of the UN Security Council at the time. They prevented us from acting upon the good intelligence that we DID have for six months, we had to wait; and even the best intelligence goes bad in that amount of time. And in that six months we watched Russian troops caravan biological and chemical weapon material into Syria. We watched it. And guess what happened with those materials? The being used in Syria. It is an academic, or "gamer" type mindset that believes simplistically that the opportunity to earn extra money while deployed is enough to make it worth the stress. It's not. I can assure you.
@@RowdyGrunt I'm sorry to hear what you have experienced and seen was definitely not easy, you have my fullest respect. I use google to communicate because my english is very bad. But no, I'm not a soldier or anything like that. It took me a long time to understand and research what Corey Taylor was talking about, in the end I came up with that. I find every single song in the album, no matter which album, like most fans, very interesting, especially if there is more to it. Again, I respect you as a soldier and what you have achieved and done.
i see your point of view and it fits in! though i see it as more than just about war in the middle east but being fed up with how fake our society as a whole!! not just our reasons for invading foreign lands but the reasoning behind most manufactured scenarios and the manipulation that goes with them.
The masks was at one point supposed to hide the identities of the band, so people won't be distracted from the actual music. Also it was a way when a member is no longer part of the band, they could be easily be replaced and nobody would notice. Slipknot according to interviews, is supposed to be a unstoppable machine. Craig aka 133(the one pins in his head) is most silent of the band and it's a great honor to hear his voice, he doesn't even really talked to the band much according to interviews. On the genre of the band, they started out as a Nu-Metal (Metal and Hip Hop fusion) best song to hear this style is Spit It Out especially the Download fest live video 2009, as it clearly shows Corey's rap skills and it have all original 9 members in it. Now back to the genre of Slipknot, they tend to walk a grey area of Rock and Metal, but honestly though, the only ones that cares tend to have neck beards. 🤷 Their extremely good Slipknot songs to react to such as Spit it Out, The Devil in I, Wait and Bleed, My Plague, Before I Forget, Duality, just to name a few that comes to mind.
It's a very similar dynamic that GWAR uses so that several people have played the same "character" onstage over the decades (with the exception, ofc, being Oderus Urungus, the founder who passed away and was replaced by an entirely new character).
Ok thats just dumb. If anything it distract your attention from music to just looking at the masks. I like the mask but the excuse for using it makes no sense
Everyone else has given recommendations, so I will explain what the flaming star was. Its a 9 point star, also known as an Ennrsgram. They have 9 members, so they have used it as one of the band symbols.They also do wear uniforms, and change those and masks every album. You can tell the era of Slipknot by the masks and uniforms.
The 9 pointed star is just the symbol slipknot came up with. The wanted something sinister and scary that resembles a pentagram but the star has 9 points one for each member of the band
I know, and in the beginning he was always the kid of the group, riding big wheels and riding Clown's shoulders around. I specifically remember when they walked into the Howard Stern shown 15 to 20 years ago he was on one of the member's shoulders. Joey was the kid for sure and now he's one of the first to go. So sad, damn I'm getting old!
The Moʻai-esque papier-mâché heads are representations of how big their egos got at that point in their career. And they are burning them within their symbol as a way of sacrificing them for the greater good of the band.
I remember the first time I heard slipknot was "Wait and Bleed" playing over the load speaker at a record store in late 1999. I was blown away instantly and was hooked.
You guys need to use both headphones or earbuds to hear the song properly. Wayne is listening to Micks guitar only because he has right earbud and Kayla is listening to Jim’s guitar only since she has the left earbud.
It’s always weird for me to hear people be like “man this stuff is like scary” or “looks creepy”. Man y’all really never seen the true dark side of music and entertainment. Because Slipknot, while good, is like surface level shit. Y’all ain’t even in Death Metal territory here. This was on the radio, the real extreme shit never plays on the radio. Try Cattle Decapitation or Dying Fetus.
Nice reaction! Maybe react to Slipknot - Spit it Out (jump the fuck up) Live at Download 2009. Great performance! The nine-pointed star stands for the 9 members of the band.
Slipknots front man is also the front man of Stone Sour , now If you guys saw the first spiderman movie with toby McGuire the song "Bother " was sung by the same guy
Crazy to think that two of the members of this band in this video, Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, have passed away. And the 9 pointed star is made of the 9 members of the band.
Don't know if you've done more Slipknot as just found your channel but the lead singer, Corey Taylor, can really sing, he's in another band called Stone Cold Sour I think it is, and he's totally different to this, guys talented
Average new listener: "They're just screaming about scary nonsense." The actual lyrics of the 1st verse: "I did my time, and I want out So effusive, fade, it doesn't cut, the soul is not so vibrant The reckoning, the sickening Packaging subversion, pseudo-sacrosanct perversion Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save Sinking in, getting smaller again I'm done, it has begun, I'm not the only one."
Have y'all heard and seen the Greatest Concert in Human History. 500,000 tickets sold but it is said there was 1.6 million show up and at the time News reports said as many as 5 million were there. Metallica Enter Sandman live in Moscow 1991. The Russian Military had to fly Military Helicopters over the crowd to provide Air to the crowd. Y'all should react to it. Any other band says we sold out staples center. Metallica says thats cute, we sold out Russia. It was the first time the Russian people got to hear American music legally. The concert took place on a huge Russian Military Base.
Nice reaction. If you want to react to more metal I would highly suggest you react to Jinjer. They have the best hands down female vocalist in metal Tatianna. You will not be disappointed. I would suggest starting off with Pieces Live sessions or Perennial Live at Wacken. Pure talent by a great band.
Fun reaction, check the band JINJER, drop 2 days ago new video in youtube, second single from next album "wall flowers" musics name is "MEDIATOR" by JINJER, Tatiana, the vocalist, can sing like a angel and scream like a devil😂😂😈
If this is scary then Mushroomhead songs like 12 Hundred or Madness Within will frighten you even harder I'm not saying about black metal and blackened death metal bands as, for example, Behemoth because they'll be a lot scarier when you understand the lyrics
Man, most of it is just supposed to be headass. I mean, what other meaning could you pull from the drums being on fire? But there are things that have intentional meaning. The Nine Pointed Star- the "Nonagram"- represents the band and each point represents one of it's members- and to some extent, that the Band isn't whole should one be missing.

Hes so missed! Im so glad I got to see him play a few times before we lost him. Literally in the top 5 of best drummers in the world in my opinion.
The 9-pointed star is called a nonagram, and each point represents a member of the band.
It’s actually called a enneagram.

Ok thats just dumb. If anything it distract your attention from music to just looking at the masks. I like the mask but the excuse for using it makes no sense
This is very overwhelming
Brother joey passed away. Its a hard time for all to lose another legend after paul
RIP LEGEND

its also referred to as "the nine-point nonagram" its a symbol that reunites the 9 members as one, or so ive read
The song is about society and how everything is about money anymore
It's about the Iraq war
“Is about money anymore”
The sold Joey and other members for money. They become what they used to curse about.
Vermilion pt 1 and 2
Duality
Snuff
Left behind
🤘🏻🥴🤘🏻
Nero forte devil in i
People = shit
Ngl i was like Kayla when i first started to listen to slipknot i was lowkey scared not now im a full blown maggot! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
The 9 pointed star is just the symbol slipknot came up with. The wanted something sinister and scary that resembles a pentagram but the star has 9 points one for each member of the band
Great first reaction. Wayne was paying a lot of attention he even paused to count the number of flames and search for a meaning. That is cool.
Rip to Joey wow I can’t believe he passed away
Wow can’t believe this man rip to one of the greatest
I know, and in the beginning he was always the kid of the group, riding big wheels and riding Clown's shoulders around. I specifically remember when they walked into the Howard Stern shown 15 to 20 years ago he was on one of the member's shoulders. Joey was the kid for sure and now he's one of the first to go.

I didn't like eating chillies before..now I can't eat my Lunch or dinner without it cz I freakin luv it..
Metal music is just like that 😀
R.i.p. joey jordison the original drummer in this video he was one of the best metal drummers ever, you'll should check out "spit it out" live
The Moʻai-esque papier-mâché heads are representations of how big their egos got at that point in their career. And they are burning them within their symbol as a way of sacrificing them for the greater good of the band.
Each point of that star represents one of the band members btw
Your infatuation with Craig’s mask is awesome 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼😎😎😎😎 also RIP Joey ☹️
I remember the first time I heard slipknot was "Wait and Bleed" playing over the load speaker at a record store in late 1999. I was blown away instantly and was hooked.
React to: Devil in I, Killpop, Vermilion Part 1 & 2, All out Life, Nero Forte, Unsainted!
Don’t forget the blister exists
Great reaction guys! If you check out more of them I'd recommend "Spit It Out", "Nero Forte", "Wait and Bleed" and "Before I Forget".
RIP to the 2 members in this video too, the outstanding drummer Joey Jordison who died 2 weeks ago and the bassist Paul Gray who died in 2010 I think
Wayne is like this shit bangin. And she is lost as hell!
"spit it out" or "duality" from slipknot to get some of them bars. Corey can do it all...sing...rap...scream growl
You guys need to use both headphones or earbuds to hear the song properly. Wayne is listening to Micks guitar only because he has right earbud and Kayla is listening to Jim’s guitar only since she has the left earbud.

The drummer you saw in this video died a few days ago. RIP Joey Jordison. Hometown of Des Moines, Iowa represented forever!!
Somebody got that jungle fever
Y’all will also love “Before I Forget.”
the way to watch Slipknot is live)) they have an amazing live performance)
Killpop & Sulfur both good songs by them, gotta start slow.
Slipknots front man is also the front man of Stone Sour , now If you guys saw the first spiderman movie with toby McGuire the song "Bother " was sung by the same guy
Rest in peace Joey
If you decide you’ll do more I’ll keep watching them
Listening to metal with one headphone is blasphemy. Rap you can get away with it.
Crazy to think that two of the members of this band in this video, Paul Gray and Joey Jordison, have passed away.
And the 9 pointed star is made of the 9 members of the band.
R.I.P Joey Jordison 🙏🏻🤘🏻

I like how rap heads can understand rap but not rock
You two should do a hold my breath challenge in your next video
3:00 that is the slipknot logo without the S
I love seeing people react to metal
9 point star meaning unity and loyalty and all the members of the band and as well as their logo
Hey yall just wanted to say I loved the Christmas tree short everyone did a beautiful job..AWESOME tree and Merry Christmas
You won't know what its like to be a metal head until you go to a metal head concert and get stomped on.
Good reaction guys 🤙🏼👏🏼 love it. You guys should react to spit it out, unsainted, solway firth, sulfur, my plague, and wait and bleed
Always looking for new reaction videos to slipknot
Slipknot is Crazy 🇧🇷🤘 Brazil
if i put both of these people's i.q. together it would equal 3 lol
Wow man, that was hilarious !😆
RIP Joey Jordison
😔🤟
Look at that guy lil headbanging 🤘🏼
I appreciate all your video reactions and I want you guys to keep going on with this. I love you guys so much
Appreciate you
It's a nine pointed star and there are 9 members of the band.
9 Pointed Star, One Point For Each Of Slipknots 9 Members
Look the lyrics up and background of each song and you'll appreciate them more. Good job guys, love from England
Average new listener: "They're just screaming about scary nonsense."
The actual lyrics of the 1st verse:
"I did my time, and I want out
So effusive, fade, it doesn't cut, the soul is not so vibrant
The reckoning, the sickening
Packaging subversion, pseudo-sacrosanct perversion
Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves
Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save
Sinking in, getting smaller again
I'm done, it has begun, I'm not the only one."
My favorite metal song🤘
slipknot is a fantastic heavy metal group. I'm glad the lad seemed to enjoy it atleast. I'm sure you will enjoy more metal in the futute :')

The numbers in the flames are the bandmembers and that star is a symbol but its not a pentagram it has 9 sides for eatch person in the beand
Bro just the video it self takes me back when I first discovered as a little boy🤘
3:15. It’s the knotogram and the 9 points are because there’s 9 members
Hi you two, unfortunately the Drummer Joey Jordison just passed from MS
Nice reaction. If you want to react to more metal I would highly suggest you react to Jinjer. They have the best hands down female vocalist in metal Tatianna. You will not be disappointed. I would suggest starting off with Pieces Live sessions or Perennial Live at Wacken. Pure talent by a great band.
I will check it out
I like this song 🤘
she has a very cultural accent
You should check out the heretic anthem. One of joeys most memorable drum performances live.
what you should really do is "DRUGS" by the band "Falling in Reverse" its a different type of metal-rock- with some flow
Rip Joey 🤟
Try that wake up by hed pe it's very explicit but good lol
You guys definitely gotta check out Vermillion 1 and Killpop
Already did it’s on the way
Green Day- homecoming 2005 storytellers
It don’t matter wether you like metal or not you can’t help but bob that head to it
Exactly! 🤣
Love Slipknot ♡♡♡
Fun reaction, check the band JINJER, drop 2 days ago new video in youtube, second single from next album "wall flowers" musics name is "MEDIATOR" by JINJER, Tatiana, the vocalist, can sing like a angel and scream like a devil😂😂😈
9 points for 9 memebers in the band
If this is scary then Mushroomhead songs like 12 Hundred or Madness Within will frighten you even harder
I'm not saying about black metal and blackened death metal bands as, for example, Behemoth because they'll be a lot scarier when you understand the lyrics
Best music ever!!!
Hey guys, amazing reaction...reaction to lorna shore-to the hell fire is so good
Check out Slaughter to Prevail. It’s slipknot on testosterone
Spit it out live download 2009
Soloway forth by slipknot
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Please react to Spit it out live you will love it!
i think you guys should have started with some something not as heavy as this maybe wait and bleed or duality would be a good start
You guys are hiiiiiiigggghhh. Put down the blunt, recover, and rewatch the video.
Do reaction to Slipknot - Slipknot from MFKR album or pantera - cemetery gates
Man, most of it is just supposed to be headass. I mean, what other meaning could you pull from the drums being on fire?
But there are things that have intentional meaning. The Nine Pointed Star- the "Nonagram"- represents the band and each point represents one of it's members- and to some extent, that the Band isn't whole should one be missing.
You absolutely have to do jinjer pisces live session...you will instantly get a extra 50k subscribers...js🔥🔥🔥
It's a chaos star
Check out Dance Gavin Dance - inspire the liars!!
In my personal opinion the reason why they wear the mask is so that way nobody judges their music by the way they look
At 3.29 the sign,the meaning,was all the 9 members
Yall should check out bonecrew back it up and alex terrible cover of masked wolf astronaut in the ocean
Have you played Black & White?
Kayla is fucking beautiful
