Instead of writing a song for Paul, they wrote an entire album. Crazy

This isn't clown...this is Shawn talking here...

finally a video where people aren't throwing shit around about clown. he's a great guy

today i visited my father for the first time in many months because of this video edit: it felt amazing

I'm not a ridiculously huge fan but I love how chill the guys of this band are and how personable they are. They aren't your typical Hollywood douchey rock star that thinks they're better than everyone else. I really feel as though these guys keep themselves at a normal person's level even though they're so big. At least that's the vibes that I get from them.

My dad died a little over a year ago, and I feel exactly the same way Clown does in this video...what he is saying is completely true, spend time with your loved ones, don't put it off, don't be selfish, just fucking do it, now if you will excuse me i am going to go hangout with my mom!

Wow this guy has matured immensely. I like him even more. Like Tom Araya from slayer. Really good dudes.

I love videos like this that disproves the idea that "metalheads" all fall into a basket of stereotypical cliches when really most of them are the most real individuals you will ever cross paths with.

Wise words from a wise man.

He was right, .5 The Gray Chapter is probably their best album yet, and most of the songs are about Paul. For a guy in a metal band who is known for going insane on stage, he's pretty smart. Talking about art and how he visits churches, it really puts a new perspective on everything.

Ironically, Clown is one of the wisest people on the face of the earth. HUGE inspiration.

Clown needs to write a book. Or I need to buy clowns book

shawns a great guy

Damn this really put things into perspective for me.. I'm 29 my dad is 80 and my mom is 70, I can start to see them slowing down and missing a beat every now and then. I just came to the realization I'm always too busy to spend time with them, even when I'm in the same house I'm in my room playing video games or watching a movie I can't even be bothered to go into the living room and just sit down next to my dad and watch TV and talk about how our day has been going. With all that said, things are about to change I am vowing to spend two hours a day with my family from now on. Thank you so much to whoever posted this. It has truly opened my eyes to something that I need to see before it's too late. Cheers everyone and good night.

Thanks Shawn, can't tell you how much I needed to hear this stuff right now... :(

I learned a lot from this guy,he's very caring,he's selfless,he isn't afraid to say he's wrong.And the fact that he mentioned that his ego was getting outta line when the die hard fans say those were just stories really shows that he under stands his rights and wrongs.Shawn you're beyond awesome for that

God bless every breath you take Shawn

Thanks Clown for this...

Wow he was right, their best record to date.

this is deep and makes me regret not spending time with my granpa R.I.P Veli ''Jussi'' Mustonen

I think Alice Cooper said it best: "don't live your stage self, you're gonna die" (or something like that). You're right, we have so much to learn from them, and it's a breath of fresh air to see decency like this.

In the description for the video, slipknot is described as "aggressive hard rock"

Thank you for the beautiful, beautiful music

This video has changed my whole outlook on life. I think everyone needs to watch this once a week so they always remember to spend time with the ones you love. This video is amazing. thanks

This is very touching. This is a great man right here. It takes some balls to open up like this

Seriously. Who the fuck can take 9 members of a band and make sick ass music? No one! They did the impossible. Slipknot was one of the best metal bands in history!!!

Such a Brilliant video, he is one of the craziest members of the band and has such intelligence also. You would never see Miley Cyrus or Nikki Minaj given talks like this to young people. When someone passes away it's always we should have called more, call now when you can.

what ever ya get out of this.. the main rule applies.. take some time, life is short.

thank you for uploading this..and shawn i wanna thank you for this

This is very moving, I'm very familiar with the story of Slipknot, I've been a fan for about 12 years now. But as much of an insane maniac that Shawn is on stage he is a really deep thinking guy and hearing all those stories he told in this video makes you realize that the truly important things in life, like family and friends, can be easy things to take for granted and not being fully aware of it all the time. Everyone has dreams and I admire him for following his, but sometimes when you're i

this stuff touches the heart... I love u clown...

You inspire me so much with your outlooks on life and your story. Thankyou.

Respect from France for all the slipknot crew.R.I.P GRAY we love you.

WOW! This really hit home. Thank you, Shawn.

Thanks Shawn, I got an A+ on my speech about respect.

Great words of wisdom.

One of my biggest inspirations.

Shawn is amazing, He's my favorite because he's just badass and a good dude, him chris corey and paul were all my favotires. I wonder though when he said his 1st record and 3rd record I wonder by 3rd if he meant Iowa or Vol. 3, because they sometimes like to pretend Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat never happened xD for good reason in my opinion but idk, just wondering

i love shawn so much now after watching this speech, hes an amazing specker

these 9 men are such inspirational speakers when you give them a mic and an audience met clown at mayhem it was verry exciting hes such a great artist and musician and a person R.i.p paul

Thank u Shawn

Clowns a great guy, very smart too.

What an awesome guy

I wonder if he uses these 2 hour rule with his other fellow band mates?

Shawn is a genius

very humbling

Just Awesome.....

Shawn Clown Crahan there is a reason your my idol man you speak words of wisdom and are a complete badass!

R.I.P Paul Gray....Shawn you just touch my heart...love you so much sLiPkNoT..!!!

he probably one of the best speakers of life..

He's my favorite of the group

amazing

It's amazing how different he acts here.

He has to be one the wisest people i've heard. :)

I know exactly what you mean. I was sat with my dad once having dinner, and I just stopped and said "You know what? I love you dad" Because I realized I didn't say it often enough. But this... this touched me. I think I'm gonna call my mum in the morning :)

what a good man ...I would love to have a freind like clown....great guy so honest....

We could all learn a lot from this man

.5 was definitely one of the best records

If you close your eyes he sounds like kevin Smith

voice of corey that we love? yes. drums of joey that we love? yes. guitar of mick that we love? ye ye whatever BUT !!!! shawn's persistence is the one thing that keeps moving SlipKnoT through the years

thanks shawn :)

slipknot is such wise people

For Paul: 5 The Gray Chapter :D

SLIPKNOT is real inspiration....

This is Bad Ass!!!!

yes slipknot

good stuff

wise words

Tried to click Like on this vid but couldnt. wanted to let you know that this is a great vid

i wish he could come to my school!!!!!!!!!

that made me sad :(

he sounds really friendly

Clown is awesome

Love clown my fave from day 1

Some good advice here!

my mentor.

NICE

Damn man....I'm rarely selfish but this video made me feel like I was being the worlds biggest ass for being selfish for even a second. I fell like those few instances where I put my self before other and especially the people I know and love will come back and bite me in the ass.

0:36 guy with sevenfold shirt, you're awesome man!

Man, that was fucking deep.

True

Makes u think

I did not know that Paul and Shawn started slipknot. My heart just skipped a beat knowing Shawn is feeling pain that intense. I got a feeling the next Slipknot album will not come soon but when it dose, I don't want to be ready for it. I want it to run me over like a Mac truck and I want it to drag me several feet until my limbs are ripped off.

Clown's a legend

I'm about to lose my dad but there's nothing I can do I'm to young to drive to see him and he never comes to get me I'm home schooled and he works only 3 days a week I can't drive my mom can't take me she works 7 days a week and I don't know what to do.......

He may smash stuff on stage, but here he's a wise man.

Life changing info here. Share this with your friends. Slipknot for life.

I'm always left saying "wow that was Amazing" when I hear Clown talk.

ughh got me all crying and shit my grandmaw who raised me till i was 14 and I still seen up untill a a year ago cause she has alstimers and doesnt even know who I am I cant deal with that I just but this makes me want to try again but i know im going to be hurt fuck my life.

thank you clown ,i needed someone to say this to me

I cant even express how sorry i feel for Pauls Daughter. Thats just heartbraking. Your were taking to soon paul, we all miss you.

Who knew that the most brutal and insane member of slipknot would be lecturing college students. Amazing.

We are all humains. Even behind a mask ;)

I met Clown at mayhem! It was [sic]!

Good men behind those masks.

Did they make any records with the singer before Corey?

@vinbasshred Yes, he woke up on a hard way, but he woke up!

i am so guilty of this...i finally moved out of my rents house...and now i barely even call. and its only when i need something...i have 2 family tattoo's on me, and a slipknot tattoo...i praise family being so important to me, yet i go out and get hammard drunk all the time, smoke pot, and live in a world of me me me...and it ends today.

I...me, me, me, me....you have to make it "ours" 15 seconds l8r: I knew MY bass player....smh
