Fun fact: slipknots first video without masks and as the internet wasnt as huge as it is now, we all watched this desperately trying to peep their faces for the first time

We can't see Corey's head but we can see his neck. That's like 70% of his body anyway.

This video was amazing when it first came out. Everyone wanted to see what their faces looked like and this video was basically one big tease.

Fun fact, they won a Grammy for this song!

That joy on your face while the chorus hits it really. That is what metal is all about. The sense of brotherhood. Being free. I'm watching this at work by the way hahah

Fun fact: this is the song that won Slipknot their first Grammy but wasn’t the first time nominated for a Grammy. That honor went to “wait and bleed” from their first album self titled Slipknot

So when Corey says “I was a creature before I can stand,” I think he’s talking about how the world has always treated him differently before he became the world famous singer song writer we know today. Which means that he had to become famous before everyone looked at him like he was an actual human.

I will say this though, Watching your newfound interest grow in metal is bringing a smile to my face. Because each and every one of us feel those same goosebumbs when we first wore these albums out back in the day.

Left Behind by Slipknot. It's about when Corey Taylor was homeless. It's so brutal. Check it out!

dude it’s so dope that you went from being half scared to watch them to loving them , slipknot has always been a favorite, my dad is a tattoo artist so he’s always playing metal in his shop and i pretty much grew up hearing slipknot all the time

Alex is a metalhead in disguise. I think

this will forever be my favorite slipknot song

Try Snuff by Slipknot its honestly amazing what this band can do and how diff their songs can sound

When this video came out nobody knew the faces behind the masks and this video was kind of a teaser of what they looked like

The meaning of the song, and your interpretation of it are spot-on. During the writing of the album this song came on (The Subliminal Verses) was the time the lead singer, Corey Taylor, got sober. So, the changes he went through were very palpable both mentally and physically. It’s been said that an album is a snapshot of where a person or a band is at the time that is was created. I believe there is no better example of that concept than this record. In the Google Play mini-doc on this band, Clown referred to this album cycle as a time of healing. “Little more color, Little more saturation...chilled a little bit, but still THAT guy.”

I listen to this song full blast until my ears bleed And when the say "I" everytime I get chills

React to Left Behind by SLIPKNOT, NOW!!!! 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩

react to SLIPKNOT - Sulfur

This song gives me goose bumps every time I hear it! By far one of my favorites by Slipknot.

This was the song that made me fall in love with Slipknot ❤️

ALL THAT REMAINS THIS CALLING

Slipknot- Pulse of the Maggots

Probably in my top 5 favorite Slipknot songs! Killer hook, killer chorus, killer fuggin song!! Great reaction bbbbbruh!

See them live. It is a must. Their live performance is just fucking amazing.

SONG #3 - STONE SOUR

BLIND GUARDIAN - THE BARD'S SONG. LIVE FROM WACKEN 2011, dude!

This is actually one of my absolute favorite songs by this band! This song also won them an award for best metal song back in 2005. One of my favorite bands all in all too. Seen them in concert about 8 times and I fully intend to go see them again next year when they go out on tour once again.

From what I remember, the song is about how slipknot grew to fame and they won’t forget where they came from and what they went through.

React to batmetal returns. I can't be the only one that wants to see this. UP VOTE THIS SHIT

Corey dropped the Mike like a BOSS!! 😎

Alex, I loved how when the song started up, you got your "DOPE AF" look on your face and that shit-eating grin...priceless!!

This is easily one of their best Live songs PERIOD!

You are amazing man. I wish more people would be so openminded to metal like you. I hate the prejudices everyone has towards metal. Love what you do❤

Tenacious D - Kickapoo

The ending of the video gave you that WTF look. I love it. I love how you react to videos, as you really get into the music in its many facets, even going so far as doing the actual RESEARCH behind the tunes. Great work, again. Keep it real, and I hope you keep the drive to enjoy listening to music (esp. metal) and reacting, because watching you do your thing makes my day. :) I think the song "Wolf Totem" by The Hu would make you raise an eyebrow in epicness. Give them a look see. Thanks

More slipknoooooot pleeaaase aleeeex!!! Thanks :D

Probably my fav Slipknot song.. So happy you reacted to it!

You'd definitely enjoy Korn - Rotting in vein... or Clown

You should revisit Tool, so many awesome songs you've not experienced yet: Forty-Six & 2 Aenima Third Eye Schism Parabola (music video contains both the song and the prologue Parabol) Lateralus Disposition/Reflection (longest react if you did them both, would totally dig it though!) Vicarious Jambi 10,000 Days (Wings for Marie Pt.1 & Pt.2) The Pot Rosetta Stoned Intention Right in Two Since I don't think you'll react to anything non-mainstream, those songs are about as far out as mainstream ever gets... just the fact that Tool can sell hundreds of thousands of albums is a testament to their quality and this selection would be on a best of if one were made, no doubt!

Dude i'm stoked with all the slipknot reactions! I'm not entirely sure how you haven't just listened to all their albums in your spare time yet; however, I will assume that it is a major sacrifice that you're making for us in order to keep them in the reaction video loop🤘🏾🤘🏾

Tool - 46 & Two

Would love you to react to A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged

My absolute favorite slipknot song ever.

Man, I remember when this song originally came out, everyone was like "Hey, they were without masks BRUUUH, so cooool!"

5 minutes alone- Pantera

Request. 5 minutes alone by Pantera, The stage by Avenged Sevenfold

Seeing Paul and Joeys masks hanging there makes me feel empty

It was so cool to "see" them without masks this time the video came out. Watched it like 100 times when MTV was a thing 15 years ago. :)

Pantera-Cowboys from Hell

From watching Slipknot live performances to this channel. 0 regrets. Subscribed!

Sometimes I want to enjoy songs like the first time I hear it, but I cant, so I came to this kind of reactions just to revive those goosebumps of seeing other one enjoying my childhood sountracks. Thank you Alex, you made people happy with that energy. Hope to see you one day in a moshpit hahaha

MACHINE HEAD- DARKNESS WITHIN MACHINE HEAD- HALO (Album version) TRIVIUM- SHOGUN (Album Version)

Please react to Tool "The Pot".

easily, one of the best videos ever made! the unmasked jamming and still keeping their identities anonymous is brilliant. plus, such a great song! AND, the look of confusion on your face when they walk out was absolutely priceless! 🤘🏻😆

The video is showing their true selves pretty much. In the beginning, it starts with just their feet and hands and stuff. Then, as the video goes on, it shows the band mates masks are off..and little by little, it starts showing their mouths, their eyes, their features. And what Corey means by "I will remember before I forget" is that he will remember who he truly is behind the mask before he puts the mask back on and becomes the icon that everyone else remembers.

please do Slipknot left behind

You are not a HipHop head anymore.... consider yourself a proud Metal Head..

This is a band I feel should be near the top of your concert list. That energy you love from their songs is a thousand times more live. I saw them a couple years ago and spent soooo much time in the pits hahaha

I love your reactions man! Keep them up!!

Without question, one of my favourite Slipknot songs. It won them a Grammy, they don't care, I love that. Paul and Sid accepted, Clown too if I remember correctly. The night this came out on Aus tv I stayed up late to watch, no regrets.

React "The Stage" by Avenged Sevenfold

Before I Forget was the first metal song that make me cry,so glad you react to this song

Your face when he finally drops the mic and they walk away :D Hahahaha priceless!!!!

Do a reaction to alestorm

You need some Mudvayne-Happy? in your life bruh!

I've been watching your videos for a couple of months and I love that metal has turned you to love it! Watch a little piece of heaven, just for your own satisfaction

Check out Death - Crystal Mountain Carcass - Heartwork Type O Negative - Black No.1 Code Orange - Bleeding In The Blur Knocked Loose - Billy No Mates // Counting Worms Stagedives and high fives!

First Slipknot song I ever heard and I was grossed out that I liked it as much as I did. Now with the release of their latest album, I just can’t deny that this is one of the best bands ever. How they can still bring their crazy energy that they had from the beginning! It's unbelievable. When I found out that they weren’t satanic, just extremely non-mainstream and none of their music is attacking religions or politics they didn't agree with I loved them even more. I’m so glad you love one of my favorite bands! Love your channel and love the joy you bring to my family (dad in particular.) Maggot for life, with love!

This song actually won the grammy awards.

React to either Hope or Mis/Understanding by We Came As Romans. The singer that did the clean vocals passed away yesterday at 28. 😢 RIP Kyle...

Please react to Disasterpiece - Slipknot

Dude its awesome that you have gotten this into Slipknot. They are one of my favorite bands. Every song is just so damn awesome. But hey another great band to try out (because you still havent done it yet) is Primus

Hey man, apologies for lacking in comments lately, been stuck with things :( Very happy to see you enjoy Slipknot so much. I personally am not that big of a fan but i recognize their talent and bad-ass music. I've been thinking for a while now what to recommend you listen to next. I know my last one was more of a ballad than anything so i a believe it's time for something heavier. You should totally check out something from In Flames. I recommend any of the following: Cloud Connnected, Take This Life, Dead End, Free Fall. Keep up the awesome work man! Rock On!

I just love how it abruptly it ended and he's like. Da fuuuuuck?????

You should try out All That Remains! I recommend "The air that I breathe" by them :)

great song to lift to. when this comes on my mp3. i know its go time to hit another set . its one of them songs that gets you to keep going to hit your goal. helps you to remember why you workout in the first place . now the song is about never forgetting who you are were you came from . no matter how much you know and been . never forget who you are . there are many fake people in the world . and this song is saying never forget and never become something you are not . be you .

the very first Slipknot song i ever heard and here i am getting to share a similar time with you. Great song, Great band, Great music

request: Megadeth- Hangar 18,Tornado of souls,wake up dead, Lucretia, symphony of destruction, peace sells

Do reign of darkness by thy art is murder next

Man, watching Alex react to Slipknot immediately reminds me/takes me back to the first time I heard these songs, and it feels good. Years and years on, we are watching reactions to songs. Wtf. But, kudos.

Hi Alex, Love me some Slipknot. Just in case you're wondering, Nightwish is one word and you want Ghost Love Score, official live from Wacken 2013. Waiting, every day for this to happen.

Please rammstein bro

Always loved this video. No masks just dudes jamming.

"ALSO WERE EATIN' GRAPES" hahahaha that killed me, especially with the grapes in the top lip. You're always funny but that was funniest moment by far. 😂🤙🏻🤘🏻👊🏻
