Corey Taylor - Snuff (feat. That one guy in the audience)

Billie Ellish : My song is so sad Corey Taylor : Hold my mask

2024,anyone?

Slipknots lightest song is also their heaviest song.

"When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you understand the lyrics.

the one guy screaming his lungs out after the first chord change is a legend

No autotune, no pitch correctors, one take for all... pure talent. Respect Corey!!

We don't look for old songs, we look for the memories they carry.

I'm not crying. You are crying.

Corey: "I'm gonna play you a very heavy song for me" Crowd "Whooooooo, yeah"

Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence And leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage For what resembles rage again So if you love me, let me go And run away before I know My heart is just too dark to care I can't destroy what isn't there Deliver me into my fate If I'm alone, I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you My smile was taken long ago If I can change, I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me That savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your light But all of that was ripped apart When you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not care I think I made it very clear You couldn't hate enough to love Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend Then I could hurt you in the end I never claimed to be a saint My own was banished long ago It took the death of hope to let you go 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 And I won't listen to your shame You ran away, you're all the same Angels lie to keep control My love was punished long ago If you still care, don't ever let me know If you still care, don't ever let me know

"I only wish you weren't my friend Then I could hurt you in the end" that hurts even for a man

Want to see a metal-head cry? Corey Taylor: hold my feelings

0:25 The guy that screamed "YEEEAAAHHHH" as soon as he figured out what song Corey was playing. so precious.

"I couldn't face a life wihtout your light, but all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight." Breaks me down every single time.

This is my favourite version of Snuff. His voice, the emotions he transmits through his singing, the intensity he puts in every line, the crowd singing with him, the dim lighting. Its such a powerful performance. I just love this version so much.

Someone said that Corey can switch from a complete psychopath to a broken kid.....love you man!!

doesn't need to be heavy, to be heavy

Still a killer hit, sad part is the older you get the more real this song becomes

There's a guy in the crowd just before Corey does the "WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAH!" lyric and they do it perfectly, but sustain the note so long, and it always gives me goosebumps hahaha 3:05

"if you still care don't ever let me know" that hurts at the bottom of my heart

Music did not create pain and sadness it is pain and sadness that created music.

14-years ago today we lost a great human being and bass guitarist in (#2) Paul Gray who formed the group Slipknot along with Corey Taylor that is still around and selling out every show they perform. Paul was only 38-years old and gone way too soon.😔 I was fortunate to meet Paul and Slipknot and he was truly a great human being with a big heart. Thanks to Paul Gray, his music and my thoughts and prayers are with him still to this very day.🙏💔 R.I.P... 4/8/72 - 5/24/2010...

The saddest thing is having one to sing it to. Here I am 😅. Top 3 best songs ever written, easily

We need more singers like this Guy and the Guy from slipknot.

"Dad, why was my sister named Daisy?" "Because your mother loves Daisies!" "Thank's dad!" "You're welcome Snuff."

Still get goosebumps when this comes on. This is the song for all us broken men. Cheers boys 🍻

I just Lost my wife of 15 years to heroin. This song has been the catharsis and Can to Can't.... Thank you Corey

The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory.

“It took the death of hope to let you go” that’s an absolutely heartbreaking lyric

It's like Corey gathered a thousand friends in a pub to vent his feelings. That's incredible support of the crowd and trust from Corey in his fans as friends. Celebrities tend to see their fans as something inferior, as mere sycophants and financiers, and even dangerous stalkers, but Corey visibly sees his fans as friends. Pure honorable personality.

We need this version on Spotify ❤

3:08 that man in the crowd hit that perfectly and nobody did anything. He deserves appreciation.

3:06 There's a guy in the audience holding that "ooooh" perfectly! Stellar job, man!

This is one of the greatest songs of all time. Doing it acoustic makes it even better. 10/10

No heavy autotune and whatnot, just a man and his guitar pouring out his raw soul and talent

Music: Starts Guy in the audience: YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

I’m so happy this is on Spotify now

One of the greatest songs ever written.

Corey: I’m gonna need help on this song That one guy in the audience: You got it boss!

No one talking about the guy in the background singing those screams to perfection?

I love this song so much it literally is the essence of the self consciousness you experience once you finally come out of the darkness that almost consumes you and you finally break the threshold and the only way to go is up 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️ after that everything has a renewed goodness to its feeling👌

Nobody knew the song until the first chord change. That change is so iconic.

I was 19 when I first heard snuff, at first I skipped through the song because it wasn't heavy but now turning 30 tomorrow I understand that I skip it due to how heavy it is.

James Posey. 1990-2021. My best friend, my cousin, my tattoo artist, and my savior when my son died, he had the biggest of hearts and the silliest of personalities. He absolutely loved Cory's music even made a mask. It's crazy how much music helps us feel or cope with life

This song sums up my the last 2 years of my life. Almost like it was written straight out of my heart. My kids are the only thing keeping me alive.

"it's crazy how one song can bring back thousands memories."

Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, And leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage For what resembles rage again... So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know. My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there. Deliver me into my fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you... My smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your light But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not care. I think I made it very clear. You couldn't hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end. I never claimed to be a saint... Ooh, my own was banished long ago It took the death of hope to let you go 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 And I won't listen to your shame You ran away - you're all the same Angels lie to keep control... Ooh, my love was punished long ago If you still care, don't ever let me know If you still care, don't ever let me know...

Every single lyric is pain. This is the best song EVER written ❤

Only Corey Taylor can be heartbreaking, inspirational, and still extremely fucking metal all in one song. What a legend.

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.

Holy shit, even the audience in this is incredible...

2023 and this song is carrying me through the heaviest time in my life. Always been a fav...now it hits different. 🤍🤌🏼

2:30 Emotion peaks for him and shit gets real. This is the first time I’ve heard / seen this version and studied his face with the lyrics. This song has meant the world to me for years. In that moment I’m pretty sure is pure raw anger because he knows he would care if they at least tried, but doesn’t want to. At least in my case.

in my opinion, metalists write the best sad, relatable, emotional songs ever. such as snuff and for slipknot, vermilion pt 2. This is a great song, the raw emotion in his voice. truly a masterpiece

damn im never going to get tired of this song

finally on Spotify 🖤

Love how the most viewed bar is the whole song... pure talent.

Best part of this acoustic version was the fact whole crowd is so well synced and in tune. Incredible. Love and respect from Finland.

"Dad why's my sister's name Rose?" "Because your mom's favorite flower is Rose" "Oh, thanks dad" "Ok, Corey Taylor- Snuff( Acoustic )

Don't worry Corey, not a single Slipknot fan ever shed a tear listening to Snuff. We are with you, we love you so much and this song is a blessing. Thank you for everything

This song is what saved the lives of some people I knew. Lucky for them they are still alive because I was able to work through it with the help of what Cory expressed in this song.

So much pain in his voice. This is real music, take notes

When people say Metal singers can not sing and just scream show them this lmao.

My lady left me after nine years. I learned the chords to this song on piano and played it for her on the keyboard she bought me for my birthday. I still love her even though she gave up on me. This one is heavy.

I love how you can feel the emotions Corey is going through during the performance. The lyrics are so strong, they break hearts of stone everytime.

The crowd singing in the background is hauntingly beautiful!

2:17 😂 I love how the guy in the background repeats him like an echo just like in the recorded song😂

Who else is crying? RIP Paul Grey #2

Your making men better again bro. You saved my life man. Year ago i was lost and was working hard with 0 hope to find a strong love, but i stayed patient and kept strong knowing stick to my guns, and just wait for a real woman. 8 months in and not one fight just understanding and love. Thanks dude

People: Metal singers don't know to sing. Corey Taylor: Hold my mask.

Corey: I'm gonna play you a very heavy song for me. The audience: *Whooooooo*, yeeeeeeah!

Been in full recovery since 2014❤... use my singing voice today to get out of my own head... iam 59 years young still kicking ass blessings yall 2024 much love, g❤

“My smile was taken long ago, if I can change I hope I never know.”

This is arguably one of the greatest songs ever written.

It's admirable how the human's pain can be transformed to this masterpiece of music..

one of the most powerful songs ever. brings me to tears

Song is timeless will still be relevant 20 years from now!! The power of a well written song never goes away!!!!!

Doctor: You have 4 minutes to live. Me: .... Can I have 4:33? God: Go ahead son. Go ahead.

Pain in his voice. Love in the crowd’s. Unforgettable! Thank you Slipknot.

At the age of 50 I shouldn't be having fantasies, but when it comes to Corey Taylor and his voice I can't help it 😊

There is 1 fan in the crowd that gets what's going on. That feeling is amazing. It's like being able to watch the creator create life.

I know I'm probably never going to get noticed on this comment. I just wish you would see this. This song got me through our year lockdown. committed suicide a year ago. this song helped me not to take the last sheet of pills and not to pull the trigger. After a year I still feel the same. being emitted to a facility the day after tomorrow on the 16/03/21, on the verge of trying to commit the same action.. wishing to overcome my depression. Just know i listened to this song before i tried to despise my fate. This kept me from dying. With tears in my Eyes.. I thank you sincerely Corey Taylor. You literally saved my life.

This song powerfully and poignantly captures deep emotional experiences. The lyrics articulate painful feelings of loss self-denial, and relationship complexities There's a heaviness of the past and a struggle with inner demons felt in every line. The musical accompaniment amplifies the emotional weight of the words, making the song captivating and multifaceted. It speaks to the difficulty of accepting oneself and letting go of loved ones, especially when feeling unworthy of that love. This song leaves a profound impact and prompts reflection on the nature of human relationships and the influence of the past on the present. 😭

I see all of these comments of people taking their lives and wanting their loved ones to listen to this song and i believe every single word. I wrote these lyrics as my own in hopes my mom would find it. I was 15, i slit my wrist so bad i had to be airlifted to a hospital. I stayed at a psychiatric ward for 2 weeks there.,.my mom hated what i did. I was molested by my 5 year older sister and never said anything about that till about 5 years ago...i am 39 now. She didn't believe me...i still hurt and have anguish and problems in my now 15 year relationship with my person. I have survived so many suicidal tendencies and actions......fucking fight!!!! You are a soul that needs to be soothed! But not by dying ❤️ Open you to beyond what you think is you

My wife passed away on 6/10/23. This was always our favorite song you did. She had an amazing version on acoustic she'd play, when she could, it was very hard for her too. She had a very hard and tragic upbringing and this song just hits all those feelings. Thank you for this song. Thank you for those memories. We were lucky to see Slipknot for the first time, for both of us, the last time they played here in Seattle at Climit Pledge Arena. We knew you wouldn't play this song but you did and we swore you played it just for us. It was like no one else was there, just us 3. You're amazing Corey, if you ever see this, Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This song has brought so many good memories and now I just cry when i try to listen to it. It's mostly happy tears. Much love from Seattle WA

the audience's reaction to this performance is everything. every single person in that crowd holds immense respect for corey, for good reason.

Hey country boy, des moines and all of us are proud of you. Thank you for your ability to write from depths unknown to most.

Undefiably a heartachingly-beautiful masterpiece.

fuel for the mind.

Finally this masterpiece is on spotify

In my opinion -> Best song and best Version of all times. What a pleasure to hear.

“I had him lay a scratch track down in the studio. Then I went in late at night, without telling him, and laid down some drums… When he heard it the next day, he started crying. It's Corey's masterpiece." - Joey Jordison. Rest In Power.

3:07 My favourite part when that person added their voice. Suited the song and moment so beautifully. Great crowd.# Edit: holy heck! so many likes. STILL my favourite rendition. That guy's extra voice just adds so much to the emotion of the song.

Amazing vocals. His voice resonates into you. Thanks Cor. Truly one of the best vocals ever.

It’s just as amazing lyrically as it is emotionally. I can’t find another song like it

Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence, and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again... So if you love me, let me go. And run away before I know. My heart is just too dark to care. I can't destroy what isn't there. Deliver me into my Fate - If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you... My smile was taken long ago / If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your light But all of that was ripped apart... when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not hear. I think I made it very clear. You couldn't hate enough to love. Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend. Then I could hurt you in the end. I never claimed to be a Saint... My own was banished long ago / It took the Death of Hope to let you go 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 And I Won't Listen To Your Shame You Ran Away - You're All The Same Angels Lie To Keep Control... My Love Was Punished Long Ago If You Still Care, Don't Ever Let Me Know If you still care, don't ever let me know

"I only wish you weren't my friend, so then I could hurt you in the end." Never had a lyric hit me so deeply and personally

this is like one of the most painful songs i have heard. the lyrics, the singer contains so much pain.

Losing somebody is very tough, whoever it might be, lover, family, kids etc... That pushes me to stop interacting with people which pushes me to the isolation, feeling of loneliness. But that becomes even more difficult to deal with than dealing with the loss of somebody. What a vicious circle life is!
