When I was like 11 or 12 years old, I was filled with anger, was not violent, but suffered a lot, it was like a time bomb. And SlipKnot was the first metal band I knew, and god, they saved my life for sure. All those things I had inside, Slipknot made them more easy to overcome, as you said, it was a catharsis. The best one and exactly in the right moment. I owe them a lot :)

Best word to describe slipknot during this phase is honestly just… unhinged. So fire.

The whole X-factor thing with Slipknot is completely true, It is so hard to point to exactly what "it" is with all eras of Slipknot. They have that just... I guess the best word is energy? They have a sound to them that's just very them, they have anger but its also darkness, the feeling that they give isn't really "Angry for the sake of it" but more like "Let out your anger" you know? It's the best way I can describe it.

I saw the Holywood Tour, too. Peak Manson.

6:07 Fun fact: they used to destroy stuff when they played this song (almost at the end of it) back in 99' . It was literally chaos everywhere, besides the band going crazy, of course

I used to sing this at karaoke when it first came out. One night, the electricity went out in the bar right after I finished the first verse. The DJ allowed me to start again from the beginning. For anyone that was under the illusion that I was just mumbling incoherently, I performed it exactly the way I had the first time. It's difficult with how fast he goes, but when you nail it, it's fun as hell. On the subject of Slipknot, have you listened to their first album? They remade some of those songs for their first two major lable releases, but it's fascinating to hear their origins. Back in 2000, when Slipknot was touring the US in support of their major label debut, I went to their website. I found out their tour dates and the cities they were going to. It was quite disappointing to see that they would not be hitting up my town. Their website had a place where you could send them a message. I told them that here in Tucson, I'd sung a majority of their songs at karaoke and would love to see them live. Not two days later, they added Tucson to their tour list. I'm not going to say it was me, but deep down inside, I like to think that it was because of my message. Anyway, I saw them and they were amazing!

Fun fact: this is actually THE DEMO of spit it out, they decided to put the demo version into the album because they find it better than the version we were supposed to have (the Stamp you out remix, or the hyper version, either of 2) and Corey wasnt satisfied with his vocals so the demo is quite hard, but the Hyper Version is really fast

I honestly think the re-recorded version is much better than the demo, but it felt so weird since I was already used to the demo version. But, if I'm gonna jam Spit it Out these days, I listen to the re-recorded version because it has the same sound and mix as the rest of the album. And, I think Corey sounds much better in that one as well.

@@TheJokesterSCR honestly I love the Hyper version, so fast, I actually used to find weird how Spit it Out sounds compared to the rest of the self titled album, it really did felt like a demo, Corey also sounds mord deep and gutural, similar to his IOWA vocals, the re-recored version he rly sounds more like his self titled tone But I still can't decide between the 2, not the biggest fan of the Stamp u Out remix tho

There were sooooo many bands doing music with similar concepts and arrangements and structures during a 3 or 4 year period back then. What pushed them up was that their singer is world class, same for their drummer RIP, their bass player RIP, the guitarists are both top tier, and the DJ did his job but also took it to extremes on stage with the percussionist, that made them collectively unstoppable

Slipknot back in this era was everything that you needed to live for.

I've always had a way of looking at slipknot as like rusty metal. Not rusty as in old or bad but dark gritty hard. Fucking loving these guys.

Seen them three times in last three years they still killing it!! Last of a an era.

Now you have to listen to the third version of Spit it Out... The acapella version at the end of the Corey Taylor Live in London video... There are so many great moments in that show. The crowd singing along is magical in the songs Bother and Through the Glass.

I’ve been a huge fan of Slipknot for almost 20 years now. You hit the nail on the head with this type of music being a catharsis and a positive outlet for inner turmoil. These past couple of years have been the most difficult and challenging times of my life and other than music, your music and movie reaction channels have been a bright light for me in this dark time. Thank you for everything you do man. I hope you and your wife are enjoying yourselves in Hawaii!

Released way back in 1999, at the time I was just a humble 1st year at secondary school (high school for the non uk).. This song was my introduction to slipknot at 12 years old when it aired on kerrang, when kerrang was on TV Good vibes and an absolute throw back to my era Keep up the awesome reactions 👌

Classic Slipknot! Back when they still wore the jumpsuits and had the homemade or converted masks. RIP Paul and Joey. It's also good to see Chris and Craig again.

I like SlipKnot but I saw them live at Ozzfest and took a p!ss break during their set lol. IDK what it was, maybe they were having a bad day but their energy just wasn't really there. Maybe it was because they were still a young band at the time and they were on the main stage at Ozzfest at an amphitheater...they were probably used to playing small clubs back then. Marilyn Manson played after them though and blew them away!

This is why for reaction channels I say it's always best to hear the studio version first, then whatever songs you like you go and listen to live versions of it. It also makes it so that for a song people can put in comments their favorite live version of the song and maybe even link the vid. As far as this song being 5 years late...well yeah, it is but better late than never and now that one commenter can finally relax! XD

Primal is the way to describe Slipknot at this stage. The energy and the rawness of the performance is what sets it apart in my opinion. This album and Iowa were absolutely entrancing on the atmosphere and the coarse vibe created. It feels unscrupulous, turbulent and intense. The extreme force of it when you consider the roughness, but how hard it is to express feelings that crude.

one of the best videos ever....saw it when it first released and was instantly a Slipknot fan! and word to describe them in that era.....BRUTAL

This is the case where the live version is most awarded than the studio's version. Such a wild masterpiece.

To describe Slipknot in this era in one word, I would have to say they are frenetic. So much chaotic energy there that just makes you happy to go fucking crazy headbanging! Speaking of which, lemme get back to it! :D

Awesome reaction bro!! I’ve been watching you for about three years now and I never realized you never reacted to the studio version of this song lol. Fun fact, because at this point they were just starting out as the 9, they had just gotten Corey on vocals so this was very much the baby stages of them as a 9-piece. They didn’t have a building big enough to house all their instruments so all the music had to be recorded outside and all the mixing was done completely by Joey and Shawn, this was voted the number #1 best sounding song on the album. Along with Surfacing at #2 for having the heaviest breakdown in the middle of the song, you can’t really hear it unless you have the bass cranked up but it’s there, pretty impressive!!! Keep up the awesome work my brother, love and respect!!! 💯🤘👊

You crack me up bro! Love it!

Been a long time coming I was always a little mad you only did the live one

I think they were always destined to rise to the level they did because of the aesthetic. Regardless of the music, that kind of things draws people’s attention. It gets people talking, positively, and negatively and any publicity is good publicity. Not to mention, there’s an inherent darkness inside of every human being, and I feel like the slipknot of this era, and the Iowa era personified that darkness. I know it gave me, in my angrier years, a place to put my anger. Self titled will always be my favorite era, because it was the time I discovered who I was as a person at that time, and they were the catalyst for that. Anyhow, good stuff!

In other words, they would’ve had a tougher time in an earlier era of mainstream, radio and labels. The Internet allowed for expanded opportunities and distribution for talented bands like this to explode.

First video I’ve seen of slipknot and was hooked ever since

Man, it's been a MINUTE since I saw you come across my timeline. Love the energy, as always! You should check out the band Shadows Fall, I think you'd dig their stuff. Notable songs, take your pick: What Drives the Weak The Power of I and I The Idiot Box A Fire in Babylon My Demise The Wasteland Fire From the Sky

I remember being at their second Ozzfest show back in 99 in Indianapolis In,nobody new who they were..nothing we have ever seen before super unique for its time...long-lived the knot

On the verge - thrown, this is a must. Very similar feelings

Sepultura - Dead Embryonic Cells 🔥

They were the big thing from Roadrunner Records so most metal fans instantly knew they were worth listening to back then, that's how they managed to get in to HMV on the listening posts

The reason the early slipknot is something else is cause it's technically 90s music which has a divine touch to it ;)

The one word I'd use to descripe Slipknot from that era is Visceral. It's unapolageticly upfront about the intents and topics and for their time it was brutally heavy.

I've just binge watched a handfull of your metal reviews man after one of your vids poped in my feed! I have a suggestion: The band is Chimaira, with the song Inside The Horror. There's no videoclip for the song, but there is a guitar playthrough on Rob Arnold's channel, he's the lead guitarist. Cheers! 🍻🤘😝

It's been 20 years since I first heard this from a mix cd a friend burned for me (for all the younguns that's the dark ages before sending eachothers Spotify playlists was a thing) It still goes hard nowadays

Alex, there's more Slipknot songs u need to listen haha try Child of burning time for ex, it's a good one from All hope is gone era. OH, and you need see SIC but from a liveshow (2012, knotfest). This one is fire!

You did hardcores try not to headbang 2020 so you heard the opening to lost in a wave but youve never done a full song reaction, or any of their songs. French metalcore band with a very unique vocalist. Id love for you to hear that full song (lost in a wave) as i believe you will really enjoy it, then if you like that you can check out some of their other popular songs.

Damn, it's been at least five years since I subscribed because I remember getting the notification for the Slipknot reactions.....time flies.

I still remember seeing these guys live for the first time in 1999. I was hooked from minute one. They were all wearing the identical jumpsuits from the video (this video was clips from Ozzfest 99'), and it was nothing but a red blur from them running around and slapping each other on stage. There was pure chaos in a bottle, and I figured there was no way this band would last. I can't believe even with the extreme ups and downs that, they still do. I saw them three times at different festivals last year, and it cemented again just how well the music and energy are still alive! #spititout

Their first album is visceral. They were always heavy but that first album was just raw agression and all of the pent up rage from the lives to that point.

Controlled chaos, this era of SlipKnot was controlled chaos

check out avoid the light or becoming by pantera, crushing riffs and insane solos ofc. RIP dime getcha pull

That song came in the area of when i was young and hungry for new music that you never hade heard before! right band in the right time!

You should listen to Vermilion pt 2 Bloodstone mix off of All Hope is Gone or Circle, The Virus of Life by Slipknot if you haven't already.

Yo! Was not expecting Animal Collective to come out your mouth! Love them.

Okay I didn't know there was anyone with a broad interest in music who hadn't heard this song, but glad you jumped into it!

Slipknots first album when I heard it as a kid changed my whole path in what music I listen to, I remember hearing sic for the first time and it just made me want break the fucking walls down in my house.

Slipknot didn’t exist in the early 90s

the word brutal comes to mind but theres so many words from this era. id say even just screaming would cover it. and its a great release of the extra just raw energy that comes with growing up;.

I would say revolutionary- they took what rock was in their day put their heart/ feelings/ aggression and recreated the wheels of what rock and metal sounds like. I remember listing to them for the first time as a freshman in high school and they got me through some dark times.

The way I see slipknot is creatively chaotic

Brings a tear to my eye since this is your first time watching the video 🤘😆👍 This song is still great up to now 😆😆😆 YEAH! Also you wanting to buy 4 Happy Meals and throwing it out the window followed by swallowing a whole coke can got me rolling hard 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I haven't seen this video is such a long time. Brings such nostalgia. Its sad to see what the band has become lately.

it was the brutal honesty and driving music which gave them their edge. they stood above the rest because it was a band you could vent your rage with

To relive this feeling is absolutely priceless. You were like a kid in a candy store. I remember when this album came out. I was one of those goth/metal kids that was 15 years old playing it nonstop 🤣😎😆 Good times. Still a big fan of Slipknot/ Corey Taylor. This song will always be a banger.

Slipknot in that era, from memory as a kid I'd say they're horror metal. I mean a ton of The Shining in this vid, the masks scream 80s horror remakes. Was an absolute trip back in the day, still get a smirk listening to their old stuff

Alex you gotta react to more Death songs! “Flesh And The Power It Holds” is my recommendation!

Go to a rage room and play Slipknot while you're there.

Description in one word is RAW

How’s this possible?

I had the VHS to this video I bought along time ago.

Now we need to reaction too the live version.

It would be cool to see you react to some really old metal like Black Sabbath, Deep Purple, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden...stuff like that. Scorpions and Helloween are good too.

The first album was so rough, raw, rude… energetic as hell

well as you mentioned “Iowa” left being next review 😅

It's not anger, it's screaming the pain away

I was fortunate enough to see them live when this was the only album the were playing live. I think in 2000. They just ripped through the first 8 songs or so. Baddass. Then the third album, fifth album and last year in Glendale. Go see them while you can is my point.

The word is authentic

The music was so Savage!!! That's the best word I can give you for it.

I remember seeing this in 99 at about 3 o'clock in the morning on rage, changed my life

Friends & SlipKnoT! Dude we would get along so well!

I know you reacted to Kamelot in the past, so I figured you would probably have a great reaction to The Great Divide from Kamelot!

So they are an amazing band then and still today. I am glad you are able to go back and appreciate the music i grew up with. So believe it or not, i saw/heard these guys first time ever, you won't believe this i am sure, on the Conan O'brian show at late night when he was on after Dave Letterman (i think). In the middle of the night, not even into metal at that time, i heard them and was like out of body experience. You can see some of those late-night songs still on youtube and realize there is no chance in all shit that the late night shows we have now would ever put on a metal band at all. Sorry for wall of text but just wanted you to realize you find some of the greatest things in your life when you are not even thinking about what you are missing.
