Corey Taylor once said, in regards to the lyrics of this song: "If you don't know what it's like to be this angry, you've never been bullied."

The funny thing about asking if Corey taylor was ok during song is that he was indeed not, this entire was the angriest the band has ever been

The hate, anguish and aggression is dedicated to his childhood bully. And he portrays his feelings extremely well. The ugliness, the shame, the desperation, the indignant rage. Its undignified, because that's how he was made to feel. He absolutely nails it. Its art imo

What is there to explain? Sometimes you wake up and just hate EVERYTHING! :)

The reason Corey Taylor wrote the lyrics so deep like that was because he had massive amounts of trauma growing up and he would cut himself with glass in the Iowa album to make the screams more "real"

This song SAVED me. My mother passed away a few months before this album due to cancer. I was mad, upset, and ready to leave this mortal coil. This song gave me a way to release my rage without releasing it in the normal way, on others or myself.

I am half black, Mexican apache and Irish. I LOVE metal music. Ever since i was 6 years old. Theirs no color when it comes to metal.

You picked up on that fairly quick. It is an anti bullying song...of sorts. He wrote it about someone that used to bully and pick on him, and his general disgust of bullying in general. But in this song, the disturbing shit your hearing is him finally snapping and retaliating against his aggressor.

My man said 5000 bpm😂😂

This song and era of slipknot is very therapeutic for people who have experienced this level of darkness. I have and I'm happy to say I've been out of it for about 4 years now but when you can relate to the rage and pain and feelings on this album it hits different.

My roommate in college was a black dude, and one night we were playing each other songs we knew that went the hardest. I'll never forget the time I showed him this song, and he legit got up and started crip walking at the start of the second verse at

The mindset you always gotta go into with Slipknot is imagining you're watching a horror movie. That's the vibe they bring. Expressing anger, trauma, sadness through aggressive instruments and sometimes too-graphic lyrics lmao. It was peak back in this era, but you can still see the same vibes in their modern stuff like Devil In I.

Depression, addiction, and a band that all fucking hated each other.

"God DAMMIT Corey Taylor! What the fuck is wrong with you, brother!"

Its musical therapy, nuthin bout black vs white... just expressing primal rage

He ain't ready for Cattle Decapitation...😂

This is why I love your channel, Rob. As a hip hop head, you take the time to check the lyrics. Slipknot's entire second album, IOWA, is about impotent rage and growing up "different" in a very middle America place like Des Moines, Iowa. It is a VERY heavy, angry album.

I love it how he said is this an anti bullying song? Hit the nail on the head

haha i'm dying laughing, that's why you're #1 react channel and I'll always tune in, thank god for the honest take instead of just bopping w/ it like you've been listening to metal for years or something xD keep it up and the more you go down the road, this shit will feel tame ... well, maybe not tame, but it won't be so "wtf" ... I can't wait to hear you react to some Slaughter to Prevail

Disasterpiece live in London is one of their best performances ever. so damn good. can't say it enough
