I hope you the best in this new studio! God bless you!

It was a wonderful choice! Corey has opened up a bit about the song but essentially he's facing his depression and his demons but is also saying that "if the world wants to paint me as a villain, then that's what I'll be". Many congrats on the new studio by the way and a suggestion for the future would be monsters by shinedown, it's really new but i had to watch it a few times to see and hear all of the intricacies.

Please make a reaction of The Band Ghost

You guys should definitely check out Ghost. I’m not a fan of them personally, but they have a lot of anti-religious themes that you could probably provide some good commentary on

They change their mask every album. Put some guys have small changes. I’m thinking it’s more about his depression because he said this album he was going to go into his dark parts in his life.

shadowsinmymind9 think he said he’s been into metal from Demon Hunter years back with a Christian friend of his also a pastor. I think you’ll find there’s many Christian metal heads bro!

He's a definite P.O.D fan. Christian metal

There's a video where Pastor Rob alludes to liking Faith No More back in the early 90's. I think the reaction is for the song "Zombie Eaters".

@@jay2k536 powerwolf?

@@jay2k536 one of the worst bands ever, right along side nickleback.

Your welcome

Amazing.

You’re welcome

Not accurate, but close enough.

Unless they are deaf or tone deaf

That is true af

I agree lol

You’re either born with it or you’re not.

There's more of us in existence than you assume... FAR more

Hi 😂

Hello there

Christian and I enjoy metal

There is a lot if us

In some countries they do actually headbang in church 😂

VampiraVonGhoulscout false. Have you ever seen the video of an entire church head banging?

@@bzawk Well maybe not a church, but I have a Scottish born Muslim friend who visited family in Pakistan and she saw them doing it there. Being a big Nirvana fan from a strict family which disapproved of basically all secular music, she found it really hilarious and weird.

Almooost.. almost

@@VampiraVonGhoulscout yes the muslims have like a traditions in the soufi groups that they sing islamic songs and dance, sometimes headbang lol

They do it as it should be done 👌

Or talk over the video.

well they should pause it coz then there's no point of seeing the original video coz u already seen it fully in their video with no cuts, also to avoid copyright they should pause it though i do think they shouldn't talk over it and instead pause it and then tell us what they want coz if they wait until the end they'll forget.

I KNOW. other reaction channels do it so much!

Free_Wifi_Kids yes

Max was also a long time drummer for Conan O’Brien. Don’t remember if he was original.

Love max great drummer.

Andrew OConnor yep

Andrew OConnor he was also a very good friend of the members of slipknot

xraysteve yup he was there day one for Conan

Those lyrics just hit home for me right now

Reads a little different for me. The old woman is obviously his mother. I also believe he's releasing the indoctrination and dogma most of are subjected to before we reach the age of reason. If there was a saint ,the dogma killed it

Jonathan Brunner I'm Christian but I listen to slayer and venom, and alot of death metal and black metal, music is music, God blessed us with these masterpieces

Amen/Nema

Same bruh. I also love $uicideboy$ and I'm a Christian

@@matthewmayotte8049 this is facts

...this comment makes me so happy😁😁

it's Saint Peters basilica at the Vatican......

It most definitely is the state Capitol I pass it multiple times a day I know that building very well

@@painhertz the top is too long for the Vatican. I thought so at first until I googled the image.

Yeah I thought it was a church in Florence but never bothered to dig into it to see if it was actually that

I live in Ames and you’re correct.

Can also easily looked at from the other perspective. You're reaching out to God only to realize you're all you needed all along.

Thank you for writing naïve instead of naive

@@kaidenoneill9751 I see it as the idea that you are the author of your own destiny. I don’t agree with that but it’s a common belief.

I think the biggest factor in that is how "did you think you'd..." is one of the most common ways to start a rethorical question. It's framed as a question, but in truth it's a warning. Also like the whole song has the tone of a depressed person snapping at someone who keeps telling them to just pray the depression away, and telling them how they're misinterpreting and misusing the Christian faith.

Gøthik Døll 😂😈

Yesssss love it

bruhhh...this shit made me LOL

I like the sound of that....

YESSS

Ur not a slipknot fan if you give Kudos to everything they are against!!!

Matt Crawford Corey or anyone in the band is against religion or just personal beliefs

@@xfatalxzero Erm,, maybe listen to the lyrics of their songs once.. You will get there bro.... every second song is about how putrid the whole concept is, but yeah, ur version is cool too.. (not)

I relate to Slipknot more and I disagree with some of the things in this video but I think it's good to look at other people's views on things and learning more about the world

I'm Christian and I've loved slipknot my whole life

Good interpretation

yaaaaaasss

Your absolutely right. With the way Corey has been portrayed recently when it comes to the inner workings of his two bands in the public eye he has bashed the bad guy. For example Jim root getting kicked out of stone sour = everyone blamed Corey even tho it's a full band decision, similar thing happened to the news Joey wasnt in slipknot anymore and now with slipknot percussionist Chris sueing Corey. So basically right now hes channeling the villain as that's how he feels he looks in public eye. Hence why it's very joker-ish

Not entirely true

Then you have Mick who really hasn’t changed

That's not the masks initial purpose tho. It was to hide their identities so people wld focus more on the music and less on the members and who they are.

@@nicholasgreenleaf9025 Craig never changes either. Corey, Sid and clowns mask changes drastically, chris fehn, Joey jordison, and Paul's and Jim roots masks stayed relatively the same with slight modifications or color changes. While Craig's and Mike's barely changes.

Don't forget to mention James Root from also Slipknot back when he used to be in Stone Sour

Tyler Hastings shit! That’s a perfect interpretation

When he says I’ll never kill myself to save my soul, it’s because he’s so full of pain from self harm and drug and alcohol abuse from personal and past experiences but he’ll never kill himself to escape that pain because of who he is

@@kb24games45 If thats the case this song REALLY shows his struggle. Its like hes debating back and forth with himself.

KB24 Games or it could mean that he’ll never change who he is as a person for religion( or the “guarantee” of going to heaven) that’s how I interpreted it

I think the "never kill myself to save my soul" line is more literal. People with problems, depression, suicidal thoughts, often are called "troubled souls." The lyric from Corey Taylor is saying that he's overcome or overcoming his own depression. if you know the bands history you know a small sliver of shit that Corey Taylor has been through. Of course the line also references religion and how Suicide is the ultimate cowards act. People often think ending one's own life is way to escape the pain, but all it does is hurt the people around you.

Young fellow, probably doesn't know how to jump in with a confident opinion. He'll get it.

@@rickwreckem3444 i'm sure of that

Anti Retard Equation I was about to type that

Anti Retard Equation I think that after some exposure to the internet you start caring a bit less about what they say. Just a thing of recognizing judging and actual feedback or constructive criticism

He's weird no hate but...He's weird. And why the f does a Pastor now more bout the Band than the weird young dude.

Jesus is knocking at the Door my brother

Thats how i take it as well

Your not wrong because Corey said himself that this album would the most personal one yet

@@SGredblitz I'm a bit of a slipknot nerd, so yeah I've heard that already. Pre ordered the new record too.

Coreys mask is all about healing process one fan told that his mask resembles mask for healing 3rd degree burns on face

Actually he's more agnostic than anything else. From his personal tour he States he doesn't hate God or Religion but believes that organized religion isn't for him.

@@cappiman2pointoh most people don't know the difference between agnosticism and atheism... I prefer Deviant Monotheism, the belief that you are your own god.

I thought it means that you should control your inner demons (rather than burying them) and focus on moving forward.

We really do need more people like this.

is it normal for christians to only listen to christian music? I knew a lot of religious people growing up who listened to all the same music most people did?

Chiyori Nakanishi I mean it’s nice and all, some people like that music because of the message and the way it sounds, brings them closer to God. I don’t think there’s a “norm” for Christians to follow in terms of taste in music and movies and all. I’m Catholic and I’ve quite a couple of other Catholics friends who listen to metal (from heavy metal to death metal). It’s pretty cool, I guess it’s more like whatever brings you closer to your faith or whatever brings you joy without hurting anyone is great.

@@ChichiNaka, there's a difference between being secular and liking secular things.

I'm a non denominational christian metal head, and as long as the band or song isn't blatantly evil and satanic I feel like it's alright to listen to. My gut/soul will usually feel conviction if something doesn't feel right when I listen to it

DryTEK I would honestly love for them to react to that song!!

Hahahaha

Yooo💀💀

@@3ddy156 well I'm saying even though I don't agree with some of his points, I still thought the lyrics analysis was on point.

@@justin-md4xm Yeah but there was no reason to say your athiest. Literally no one cares and atheists always seem to try to find a way to say your athiest

@@3ddy156 I think it'd be prudent to allow him to state that he feels the way he does. Trying to bring him down for his vantage point alone isn't a good look my man. Everyone has something to add, don't discredit off the bat.

@@LGPanthers1 i dont mind what he has to say, you obviously don't understand. For some reason people like athiest and vegans always feel the need to say that they are such even when it is irrelevant to what they are saying as if they are trying to earb validation from saying they are such. Tldr athiest and vegans say they are as such when its irrelevant to the point

I thought it was the vatican upside down.

All the visuals on their faces throughout the video are of Iowa. They are playing at the Iowa State Fair in August and the rows of seats toward the beginning of the video were of that venue 👍

@@illuminateyourlife3401 The one with the new member in the background is the botanical center in Des Moines as well.

It is the Iowa state Capitol building

@@rashby69 yep

Yeah, the inflections of his son's speech impediment are very noticeable... not to sound like i am passing any judgment, just stating my observation

Loooooooove yes! Love to see their take on childhood trauma for personal and curious reasons

That would be such a great idea!!!

Ufff that would be interesting

YES

What!!! I didn't know Corey did a song with them

I think it's to help them let go of their civilized selves and let loose some of the primal, feral energy. Go wild, so to speak.

The band has also stated the masks are direct people to the music, not what they would physically look like without wearing the masks. Further down the line, the masks are used to express the inner personality/demons that the individual was going through between albums.

Nathan Lewis love to see them react to the devil in i I’m a Christian but I Rock that song hard 🤣

@@keljells I'm Christian too. I love slipknot some times I can relate to the lyrics. They have a really deep meaning

100%

@@damnbambam01_official73 yep 100%

Devil In I would be more fitting. Psychosocial is about American foreign policy

Yup it was for his divorce originally then Corey made it a tribute song because of how he had loved it and encouraged Corey to put it on the album

It makes me laugh when people say it’s about him. They performed it on Jimmy Kimmel with Paul!

Later on it became both Paul Gray and the woman

Zach Carnett YES!!! And RED is christian metal

True

Right?! Especially a song that is clearly anti-religion.

Yeah😂

@@Daymare_666 Not really

Daddy is a rough song to listen to

@@3stro true. but seeing the song played live and the emotions that come out of Jonathan is absolutely insane. Here it is from the 2015 tour they did when they did their debut album in its entirety kzfaq.info/get/bejne/p697ea2arsjTfYE.html

I think "Daddy" is too much...

@@stormrhode2330 while true, but it would be a good song to react to and by doing so, maybe some out there that have been abused and never have said anything could get the courage to speak up about it and the reaction video might give someone else hope out there etc

@@TheGamingChapel thats the reason I sugested that song. Because it might help the people that have been abused in some way

Destruction or Backbreaker also

Corey taylors first band

Yes, alot of people tend to forget that Stone Sour was Coreys first band

Stone Sour is trash

It's a great song

@@dakotacolehour4228 wat u mean brodda

Do you remember the name of it?

@@Linnerd "slipknot fan shares emotional attachment to new corey taylor mask". it pretty much talks about how a fan said Corey's mask is a close match to a mask used to treat and heal skin grafts. the fan was in a fire at a young age and had to wear said mask to help heal, and that Corey's mask could symbolise healing from hurt in the past

@@ashleighrobotham1672 That fan story is a tribute saying why they like the mask. It's not what Corey said about it. Here is what Corey said in an interview with Kerrang! : "“My vision was about trying to create something uncomfortable - not only for me to wear, but for people to look at. “I wanted it to feel like it was something that was created in someone’s basement - something that was made specifically to fuck with people. “It’s the representation of public opinion turning on a dime. They want to tear people down for the way they live, even if they don’t really know them. “It’s been liberating to embrace that side and be like, ‘Fuck you. I really don’t give a shit what you think about me, so here’s this!’”

Ashleigh Robotham Yes, that’s a fan theory but I like it anyway. Thanks for sharing.

dave bcf Corey responded in a tweet that the new album and mask indeed are about healing.

That's not the purpose, that's just the reason they change them. The purpose of the masks was. Original so people wldnt worry about who they were and focus on their looks instead to focus more on the music. That's why for a long time nobody even knew who they were.

Steven Duncan The Reasoning has evolved over time. Your point was the original purpose. The Original Commenter is right in the sense that the current purpose fits his description.

Disagree.... 'Pick a lord to pray to' The religion is irrelevant with that line, therefore the church is irrelevant in his view. Just my take. Where do you get that feeling from?

@@clay25420 The aesthetic of the video itself, which is heavily catholic oriented, as well as the portrayal of hypocrisy and the way he describes things being Forced onto him. "You killed the saint in me, how dare you martyr me". That's something I can relate to, being raised catholic. They took the joy of faith out of me, they made me skeptical of faith, until I was much older and realized the church and the faith are not the same thing. I feel like a lot of people raised catholic have the same experience, and non catholic christians always think when we talk about that that we are attacking all christians, rather than the church, and in fact even take it as a personal attack on THEIR faith, which is often miles apart from what we have an issue with to begin with.

Max Sand I listened to the song and it definitely could be taken in different messages. “Pick a lord and you pray to it” for me was criticizing how people put superficial things on pedestals in their lives, something which I never really understood. Also, the line where it says “But your bibles don’t work on me,” I was thinking about negative or false preaching that goes on in the Christian faith in general, where instead of being an open-arms and loving faith, it’s presented as “Do this or go to hell!” Another thing that’s always bothered me. As for what you said about “You killed the saint in me...”, I definitely agree with that. I was also raised Catholic and hated how other people of my faith and non-Catholic Christians look down on you when you have a certain music taste and pull out “the devil” card. The Church and the faith might not be the same thing at all but people within the Church (from ordinary people to the archbishop who confirmed me) have strengthened my faith for sure. What the song did for me was basically give me all that anger and rage from the negativity I experienced from other people of the faith and turn it into as being part of the community that wants to help. Instead of turning back on the Church, I’d rather turn my back to the negative ideas and views that plague it. But I think it’s awesome to see other Catholic metalheads. It’s always a funny dynamic when you have people from both sides saying one isn’t compatible with the other.

@@gabrielcabello9227 and there in lies the main hook of the song "I'll never kill myself to save my soul". I like metal, it's a part of me, and to not listen to it because some people interpret it wrong or whatever would be killing a part of me to, in their mind, "save my soul". I refuse. I don't believe God will damn me for eternity over my taste in music, and in fact God would understand the message the artist is getting across better than anyone, so there is zero chance God would misinterpret some lyrics. If I am to be judged harshly it's going to be because of my Faith or my Deeds not living up to what they should, not because I listen to Slayer.

Max Sand I completely agree with that! I took it the same way too, “I refuse to change who I am just to accommodate what *you* think is a ‘good’ Catholic” was the thing that played in my head. And yeah, God is omniscient so even if a song is really anti-Christian, He would know if you’re still true to Him. I agree with the last part too, judge me on my character not on my tastes. Metal to me has a really big thing that is common with Church: You’re part of this massive body of people, a community, and everyone is part of something that is way larger than themselves. God knows that when my love for metal was strong, my faith was too at the same time. Metal can just be another pipeline that leads you straight to God. Rock on my guy! \m/
