you my lady are a very cool open minded mom ,well done you . you did the best thing possible ,really refreshing to hear so much positivity great comment ,peace and light

Thank you so much, andy meanock .... that means a great deal. I get a lot of flack from other parents or adults... but then, I get to use my knowledge to school others. Peace and light to you, my friend.

glad icould spread some joy ,the world needs more , thank you for replying and being well,just you x peace

+Penny Fleming we need more mums like you in the world. In fact, more people like you. I can't count the number of times that uninformed and ignorant people have put me down for liking this band, so it means so much to me that there are people like you who take the time to understand us. The approach you have taken is applicable to so many other aspects of today's world, I just hope more people can learn to do this.

Hey William Vickery, I would say 'thank you', but I actually think that the 'thank you' should be being said to you.... that and a huge apology from the closed minded people, of which I used to be. What I can tell you is this, at least from a parent's point of view...when you have kiddos, you already have a pre-destined plan for them (ridiculous, I know....but just wait...lol)....and when they start walking toward a path that you have NO KNOWLEDGE of, it's scary. I knew my son was at a really low point, then to feast my eyes on this band that he had chosen as his way of coping really took me aback. I guess the difference is, rather than demean him for it, I asked questions. Music has always been a huge part of our family dynamic, so it was easy to get the conversation started. In truth, I'm fascinated by this band, and by their shear intelligence and talent. He gets really angry when people judge him for liking them as well. One piece of advice that I can give you when people judge you for it....ask them what they know about the band....ask them if they know what the masks symbolize.... something to get a conversation started. It's hard not to jump on the defensive, but I can tell ya' a conversation is worth its weight in gold....so much so, I've downloaded some of that 'gold' onto my own playlists. LOL. Be blessed and be happy.

He got a fast and accurate response...

Bill Clitoris 😂😂😂 I thought the same thing

I just went back to see that, hahaha good find.

I was searching for this exact comment hahahahha

Lmao

1nFamouSninJa The same thing happened to me

Without metal I would be dead

Metoo

Same here my dude 🤘

Without metal, I don’t think I could listen to any sort of music

glad someone said it. cause “ClOwN” has no problem trying to take all the credit for slipknot like he is irreplaceable. he’s damn near a bigger attention whore than sid. funny how all the original “founding” members died. Clown saw that as more money. clown may be a big part as far as his keg but he and what he does is really not even needed. he was out of the last couple of shows and it was the same. i wouldn’t be surprised if he brought in the keg that way he is actually needed for a song. i’ve never liked his demeanour. shady as fuck man

spartenbeny Honestly (this is my opinion) I think they unfortunately don't give a shit about Joey. Instead of staying by his side while he fought a possibly career ending illness like the family they always claimed to be, they kicked him out like an old, sick dog. Worst of all, they didn't even have the guts to do it to his face, they fired him cowardly through email. That's not something you do to family. I'm sorry if my words seem harsh, I still love Slipknot and I adore Joey, I just wish they would reach out to him and get him back (no disrespect to Jay, he's a great musician but Joey's irreplaceable). Anyway, just had to get this off my chest.

Unforgetteble

Jay is the drummer Slipknot always needed

@@CTHARDCORE606 bullshit, lmfao

His & Hers That’s a ridiculous statement. Joey was the backbone of the band and one of the biggest contributors to composition besides Paul.

+starwolffan13 kinda like long hair no beard root a lot too

+starwolffan13 "Root-beard"

+starwolffan13 don't you mean... sic

I like his style now but i like more his long hair no beard look better

i dig the beard but i miss his long hair

ArkaeaFCL3 I think we all did

my wife actually told me about it. told me Slipknot was gonna do a press conference due to a death of a member. that was when I first heard it was Paul who passed.

I cried so fucking much then went in the shower to hide and cry in there even more :(

Slipknot's a f****** Corporation now

Omg 😂 shut your dramatic country ass up

I hear you... argh!

+Mark Sneddon (Mark767) I was at a show in london once and I saw a girl I went to school with and her 12 year old daughter I was like fucking hell!

The new generation would never feel what is like to be an old maggots. But, I sees & feel lots of positive energy being generated among these new maggots. Diff gen, diff message. We've evolved with the band. :) We were so dark those days.. lol..

PG Loi They were a darker band! lol Remember when no one knew what the hell any of them looked like, without the masks? Just 9 scary dudes playing the heaviest stuff you ever heard lol

***** Yup, no doubt. But all the band who grow up with us like RHCP, Greenday, Metalica, Rage againts the machines and so on, all has evolved.. music, lyrics, the dark side...Sometimes, I still play back those 90's album to "face my inner fear".. lol

@meraak1 Damn dude :'D

you're probably right

And maybe.. just maybe... had a little sniff......

Slipknot and McGregor fan. You are my new best friend.

Same brooo

That's awesome 😁

It's good stuff. Welcome!

Dope af

I am 42 and i have listened Slipknot about 20 years now and then...but last summer i quit opiates and started running, that helped when i started to think using opioids ...and Slipknot really got the energy flowing....best music for running for me. Could say that this band was and still is big reason i am still alive, i used opioids almost 20 years and now im addicted for running...much better addiction than that garbage. I never wasnt a big fan of the band, but i am now.

@@RUTJA. God move man, keep on moving and don't look back, the past is shit and look straight ahead. As for thinking you're too old to like Slipknot - I'm 57... Stay clean my friend but keep your mind dirty.... X

TheInfantFinite666 XIX

It's a lifestyle

TheInfantFinite666 What about Jesus Christ? Without Him no life.

Haha You again XD

antivatican1 Slipknot is nowhere near nu metal...and you don't have to understand it, you never will and that's it

MadBull RC Have you ever eaten dead deer? When prepared it's called Venison and it's fucking beautiful.

Awoken Genius The fuck does that have to do with anything?

Was literally typing this, then I looked down and gave you a thumbs up.

a famous quote from sir Phillip H Anselmo in 1996! ..i think crahen saw it and took the idea to a new place.

True

I know this is an old comment, but I agree with you so much. I'm glad someone commented on that because when that girl said she'd die for Slipknot, I understand she was trying to express her love for the band, but it left a weird taste in my mouth.

Monica Wilberger I agree, it's not a message I want to promote in a vague way, but at the roots of her statement I understand what she was saying (I think).

Isn't that quote from The Catcher In The Rye?

@@macion9481 The guy's face next to her was also like....umm...idk about that one fam

YEN

thats amazing man! stay true to ur roots! maggots for life

Im so sorry for your loss, and Slipknot has helped me through hard times to,i was abused as a child,but i would always go back to my tablet my grandma gave me,lock myself in the bathroom, and listen to Slipknot. I consider fellow maggots as family, so i hope this made you feel a bit better brother

Your Dad is proud of you.

What an incredible story (if I may say so) fellow maggot; I'm very sorry about your dad, and I'm so glad that you found peace thanks to this wonderful moment (this gig looked so (sic)) spent with this band. My kindest regards and support to you dear.

They helped me like they helped you too, my father passed away in 2005 & I’ve never been the same since :(

Jim Kiernan Same, if you do something just to be different then you aint doing it right.

Lol I’m a bit of both

That's not really a logical take though. Can you like something on the most basic level? Sure, but those who find something that defines them and their tastes isn't wrong either. While you say you listen to metal because it's awesome, there's another reason why you stick with what you listen to.

Actually you just did the same as "other metalheads" :D

Sometimes I listen to metal to calm down

matthew scott I discovered slipknot on accident in 95. A CD I found in a box my dad got from his friend who's son joined the army. I've been a fan ever since.

William Niles 95?? right....

Mohamed Shamim before cory was with the band . Anders Colsefni was the singer. Shawn and joey were the first two guys to play together. Shawn pulled a clown mask out of a closet. Shawn had turned to joey. Joey was weirded out but thought ohhh that's sick. Hence the masks. The bands name was originally painface. A song called "slipknot" was on the LP. So they changed the name to slipknot because it seemed like a better fit. When anders got the boot he started painface again with a new band.

Mate. Feed. Kill. Repeat. Is the actual first album. EP. I had a basement tape of the rehearsal that came with it. I can't remember the name of my dad's friends son (military guy) . I think he was a friend of shawns

hell yeah

Cuz the western stuff is either country or mainstream pop. Hard rock is very popular in the UK.

Too bad they threw him to the dogs because of his conditions and he passed shortly after

@@brandonsean123 he’s talking about Sid not Joey

me too

Me too.

I have always wanted to play copper!!!

Let's do it

***** Amen fellow Maggot :D

Snail Man Same

Amen

All hail that

Snail Man they're an awesome band and have definitely influenced a generation but to say what you said is comparing them to a god. I mean damn they are one of my favorite bands ever ( top 3) but... damn you're silly.

Fucking awesome!!! Lol...🤘🏻

I know this is a super old comment but does anyone know if he’s ever spoken publicly about having ADHD? I’ve just recently fallen in love with the band and after watching interviews and Q&A type talks with Corey I had huge suspicions, and after seeing the shirt I’m guessing he does have it or maybe wasn’t diagnosed but thinks he does haha. I was diagnosed a few months ago myself and I definitely find myself connecting more with people who have it and I thought Corey was such a cool guy right off the bat, so it explains a lot.

@@CosmeticHappy I’m not sure! Good question for Google lol

@@veronicadavanzo2064 Sorry I should have mentioned, I looked it up on Google but couldn't find anything at all other than his previous battles with depression and anxiety (which are extremely common and comorbid with undiagnosed ADHD, I myself went through the same thing before being diagnosed at 29). Randomly enough, last night I bumped into a friend of mine who is in a tech-death metal band and he said he and many other people he knows in other bands all have diagnosed ADHD and that it seems to be quite common amongst us metalheads... so I wouldn't be shocked if Corey has it as well. I freaking love my fellow ADHDers, we are the most chill, down to earth people because of how hard life can be for us.

Couldn't have said it better myself 🙌

Paul Gray is dead, so...

+spencer salmon Fuck you man

Gray 59

Amen Brother!

Mattimaximus It's fucked.

moJomittens like Ariana Grande

moJomittens yes..such as pop music

Shitty music in general

moJomittens dead meat

I....honestly never thought of it that way. Wow.

🤘

Same. :)

+Matt Damon ok? am I suppose to know if he's lying or not?

+Matt Damon ok

+Matt Damon I'm fine. I stated facts. you were being sarcastic, then you were normal, now Youre defensive. tf is wrong with you?

+Matt Damon I said "ok" am I suppose to praise you? does "ok" really trigger you? I corrected the idiot in this video and now you're acting like daddy won't stay out of your ass.

Matt Damon it's funny how you had to delete your comments so you don't look too stupid. All you've proved is how you don't have the mental capacity to realise when you're wrong. You started an irrelevant conversation and you can't finish it.

Narf What if i told you that i'm a huge metal fan and i listen to everything from classic heavy metal to death metal and slipknot is still honestly my favorite band it's the band i listen to the most even though i do agree that bands like Death have more talent as far as guitar playing, song structure and lyrics goes but i still can't deny my love for slipknot. and if you look past the big singles you will see that the rest of their songs have amazing song structures. whatever people say slipknot is still my favorite and i love every album they made. And what you said about them being just another Nu metal band is complete bullshit there is no band that sounds like them especially at the time they just started. and all those who tried to copy them failed miserably. you are just one of those metal elitists that keeps saying to people that they should expand their horizons just because a mainstream band is their favorite.

I respect your opinion. I love Slipknot.....Gojira is my favorite. They...as well as Slipknot are incredible live...but hey...If you love metal we are all brothers and sisters.

Spoken like a true 12 year old

Narf But It is because of the live show and maskes that they are as big as they are. With music that people like, it brings an atraction. I personal dont want to see the same basic rock or metal over and over.

Lamb of God>slipknot

Its sid, guess its so kind of coffein booster

I wish they would drop it it would've been way better still Sic

dave looks like Jim

ERIC 471 He looks more like Andy Serkis the actor

Fuck Dave grohl

wrong

Daryl Lloyd eat shit

Damn, your commitment sir

Maybe me too.

A Habibi You know, you don't have to give your left kidney, just buy a ticket.

Richard Williams Wow! Really?! I had absolutely no idea until your revelatory comment. How perceptive you are, oh great and wise one.

A Habibi Yea, I've seen them twice, I paid in money, not organs. Bet you feel stupid now huh?

Lol ummm definitely not

Paul's probably in hell dude. All these guys are Devil Worshippers

The Anti Christ you don’t know that for sure

Probably rocking out with Dimebag

Oh man, that sounds tough. I hope you don't have any long lasting problems because of that? I'm gonna be seeing them in two weeks and already ordered some musicians earplugs, so I'm glad to see that they work. I saw them for the first time last summer and my ears were also fucked up after that. But wow, seeing them back then in their prime must've been awesome!!

@@gimmeahorse yeh, nah. I got a free hearing check after getting my ear plugs and it is currently perfect. The plugs I got are 15 db lower, as recommended by the lady and yeh, can still have conversations with them in. It was pretty awesome otherwise and me and my mates did some crowd surfing. We were the youngest people there and the crowd was good to us.

@@spiritlevelstudios That's reassuring, good to hear man! Oh okay, I'll need to look for the db then. Dang!! I bet you won't forget about that, that's pretty fucking special! I'm too scared to get into the pit in the first place pff

Vol Beat 2412 what about the last one ?

FulhamKnight if you mean the last song of the video, is Sarcastrophe

***** you keen on a burrito up the shit pipe are ya? Lol!

***** omg! why can't I ever meet someone like you?!?! btw you're really cute :)

Brokenscam I wonder if his wife’s sat on it

that would be funny

@G Coy he probably meant there debut album

Have fun dude! Seen them once. Honestly a show I'll never forget.

How was it dude? I saw the show was Friday

+Skyline Of FIFA Painful. But awesome.

I'm swing them on the 20th and me being 13 this is my first EVER concert I'm excited af

Why? That has absolutely nothing to do with them.

+J Nicolosi nah

Lol why would none of you want a documentary about the absolute beginning of slipknot?

J Nicolosi it would be cool but post-mfkr slipknot is just way better imo

Of course I agree, but there's a lot of interesting history before Corey joined the band. I'm not even saying that I particularly like pre-MFKR stuff but it's still something that is relevant to the creation and the whole vision of Slipknot

+Chris Brugess when u see her mcr merch and get so fucking annoyed because these new emo kids think theyre fucking metalheads

Chris Brugess I cringed

if those kids are considered maggots then fuck, i don't want to be identified with them. i love listening to slipknot but damn, those fans in the video are weird as shit.

RuPaul who cares what they listen to? You can enjoy more than one genre. That being said, MCR has some annoying ass fans. Even MCR themselves have said they thought the “emo” subculture is shit

"these emo kids think they're fucking metalheads" or maybe you can like more than one genre of music and not build your whole identity around one style because you have other interests and personality traits lol just a thought!

I IzNerdGamer Gojira man, gojira

Then Paul gives the camera the finger, lol

Hey, respect your maggots, even if theyre... pfft... *giggle*... Five Seconds of Summer... pfft HAHAHAHA XD

You gotta admit they're talented guys though, even if you aren't fond of their music. At least they can sing and play instruments unlike a lot of other bands.

And theyre making money that im not ;-;

And a keg occasionally 🙄

Same!! Slipknot and A7X for life!!

im wayyyy into nirvana more XD

Same. Got my first tat yesterday. Pick and poke. pleasantly painful. Done it myself. Avenged Sevenfold really understood the depression while Slipknot understood the anger. 2 way underrated bands that need more respect. A7X is pretty respected these days though.

kurt.cobain.nirvana.forlife A7X and Slipknot are the two deepest bands ever. Love em

seen them a few times my self and at 34 i still like them 16 years on

ozzfest 99' bitches...wheres my cookie im special. thats coming from a oldschool b-boy who lives for hiphop. slipknot is one of those bands that always made me say wtf???
