Slipknot is popular because they're amazing, not because they're sellouts or something. They're clean and well orchestrated, yet they still feel raw and true. They're much like Metallica in that way, where the emotion is still there, but the music is so, I want to say, mechanically timed, like it was written by computers. Honestly, they're just great and metal elitists can suck it lol.

I grew up listening to Slipknot, and once I found out about more death metal and black metal bands, I stopped listening to them and started becoming more of a metal "elitist".

Five skilled musicians who are like brothers will invariably make better music than five master musicians who have no connection with each other. It shows in the music.

You two make me so happy. As a metal head....your commentary makes me feel joy. You get it, you broke it down, and understood the intensity that is slipknot.

The technical term for how the guitar and drums play off of each other is called "Call and Response" nice job noticing that! It really adds to a piece of music. I love when metal bands are still musically sound instead of just loud.

Metalheads might have an anti-Slipknot bias because they do follow a pop formula on some songs.... but they might also be mad for the reason I always was; telling someone you listen to metal and they go “oh like slipknot?” and have a mental image of their specific fan base, and as a young person you want people to “get” your identity I guess... not get it wrong lol They have been around long enough to prove themselves musically in my opinion, even if I was never a big fan.

For being new to metal, you guys sure have a handle on some widely talked about metal issues. Like Lars being among the weaker thrash drummers, Slipknot's questionable acceptance, and if Gojira is accepted among metal elitists. It shows you guys take an interest in things beyond the song at hand and that encourage a deeper dialogue. Keep up the good work guys!

How do you even have time to read them all though haha! And yeah Lars is very criticized for not being a huge technician, but I personally love what he does, he always finds ways to enhance songs by adding very distinctive grooves, patterns, efficiency. He won't always go for the flashiest option, but he'll choose the one that serves the song the most, even if it's a rather simple beat. And I love that. On a sidenote, you guys should REALLY review FEAR FACTORY, since a few of the bands you've reacted to now (Gojira, Slipknot...) have actually been influenced by or tried to copy them. Sweet and short songs representative of their hugely influential and essential body of work: Self Bias Resistor, or Zero Signal. Playlist material absolutely guaranteed since it is one of the 10 best metal albums of all time.

I have to put my two cents in, even though I haven’t read any other comments. First off, thanks to you guys again for putting up a cool metal review. It’s still great to see non-metal people checking out metal. It’s amazing. Now, to Slipknot... This band has literally saved my life. When I was deployed to Iraq in 2005, I would listen to their “Iowa” album every morning so I could get myself ready for the day...and whatever it may have brought. Their music got my mind right with facing death and allowed me to do my job well. That being said, there’s lots of bias to my opinion of Slipknot, and I know people are different, but I still think they’re a great band musically, and they’re the most unlikely success story you could ever hear of. Think about it...a NINE-PIECE band, from Des Moines, Iowa, in masks, playing brutal heavy metal. Yet, here they are at the top of metal’s ranks and still killing it today. That’s really saying something to their talent, musicality, and their willingness to stick to their guns and make music they want to. Also, each member has a great story to tell, and if you are interested, I recommend reading up on them. Thanks again!

By their own admission are ignorant of a lot of that "scene". But, they're bright, willing, and open minded critics. And in the context of these guys as the critics, the pop reference isn't insulting or antagonistic. They even piled on the caveats to make that clear. So - as I started with - I'd like to think Taylor would hear that, laugh about it and what his fans might think about it, and ultimately appreciate it for the compliment it is. In that they're saying he doesn't just growl and yell, but can also sing pretty f'ing well if it's called for. If he can't appreciate that - he's an idiot.

Grew up loving korn up until issues. Dont care for any album after that. The first limp bizkit record is good fuck what anyone says hahs. Not amazing or anything but it was pretty original. Wes guitar playin really stands out. Then thru that type of music i got into metal but really into hardcore. Loved that shit haha.

brian s. That’s cool if you think that! Most of the metalheads I know do not really care for Slipknot. I’m talking thrash/sludge/doom/death guys. I’m not saying I’m right! Just speaking of the guys I know and posts I’ve read in the past. I could be totally wrong!

Im a thrash-metal guy (Metallica, Slayer etc.) but I still like some of Slipknots olders songs. Duality in my mind is when Slipknot started to go a bit commercial... Good video!

I loved the first album, but I think the second one is better. They removed a lot of the hip-hop elements that ran through the first album, and the musicianship/song writing improved. When I listen to the first album now I feel like a lot of those hip hop elements date the music.

This is my favorite reaction video ever lol loved slipknot foreverrrr and idk why but I just now got into reaction videos for the first time and lol! They got so into it. Love ittt

Love y’all videos keep the reaction up I’ll always watch!

Pay no attention to the metal snobs and elitists. As a metal community altogether we historically have been, and continue to still be, our own worst enemy when it comes to expanding rock & metal music. So don't pay us any attention. We always have to find a way to keep our genre from growing in popularity by trashing the bands who suddenly create some music that your typically non-metal listeners begin to like. For whatever reason or another, we can't consider anything "good metal" if more than 100 people belong to their fanbase, and if you can hear the singer actually sing. So don't worry about metal fans. If we knew what we were doing, we wouldn't have limited our genre's appeal by scaring away all the potential new listeners so often in the past 25 years like we've done.

Slipknot is great! People focus too much on how “hard” something is by how low the guitars and tuned and if it’s “difficult” sounding. Slipknot is a great balance between the two in my opinion. The devil in I is one of my favorites by them.

Metal fans are notoriously elitist and snotty (and I'm one of them). But at least I try to keep my mind open. Yes I trash some of many popular acts because I simply don't like their sound. But I also recognize the qualities of the bands that gain popularity. Slipknot has always had a very dope lead singer. And some of their radio hits are utterly infectious. Yea it's mainstream metal. No it's not as brutal as some of the other metal songs out there. But you know what? That's ok. I think it still sounds dope.

As a drummer, y’all’s reaction at 4:17 got me HYPED! I really do love and respect you guys man… I grew up somewhat in/out the hood and listened to EVERYTHING and my friends and most family members almost STRICTLY listened to hiphop/rap/r&b and my childhood bestfriend now brother for life has always been a gospel bassist, and when I brought a different perspective and different genres, seeing their reactions was the greatest feeling! And learning gospel drums and drumming in so many other genres throughout my life was the same feeling for me! Music brings us all together! Mad love, respect and peace to y’all boys 🙏✌️

I’ve been a fan since middle school; I’m happy y’all are feeling them!!!💕

Elitists do not like Slipknot. Open minded metal heads like myself can dig them though. I don't paint myself into a corner when it comes to metal. I listen to and appreciate all of it's different sub genres.

No idea how i ended up down this rabbit hole. Digging the reviews fellas. Been taking it in for hours.

Old school metal head here and Slipknot are magnificent musicians and Coreys voice is top notch. They are creative , heavy and a breath of fresh air in metal. Unpredictable and dangerous. My favorite combination for a dominant metal band (iesee Metallica)

If you think Corey Taylor is flowing a little bit in this. You guys should definitely listen to Slipknot - "Spit It Out" he goes hard with flowing to metal in that. :D Love that you guys pause it and explain your opinions.

Slipknot is amazing, and versatile; a lot deeper than people who aren't familiar with them would think.. see them live. Some bands have three guitarists, they do, too, and three drummers.

Almost 50 years of metal history, and there are still metal-hipsters who proclaim that only their brand of underground/lesser-known/niche genre music is the only "real metal." Try broadening your horizons and listening to what you like rather than what you think makes you edgy and cool.

DeweyManloveX For me, it's not about what's edgy or cool. It's about excitement in innovation. I want to hear something I've never heard before. My gripe with this song is the sing-songy chorus. It's just been done to death and sounds uninspired. All just personal preference, of course, but that's my reasoning for skipping over newer Slipknot.

I was referring to people who think that they're cool because they listen to music that others hate or don't know about, not that any given music itself is or is not considered cool. The type of people who say "I used to listen to them before they got commercial." by which they mean I only listen to obscure non-popular (as opposed to unpopular) things because I think that makes me super-hip and cool.

@DeweyManloveX

6 жыл бұрын

That is a great thing, and I agree. But calling more popular music crap simply because it's popular and then referencing an obscure Psycho-polka-blackish-retro-bluescore band (for example) as "real" metal is simply being a hipster with a leather coat and long hair--instead of a fedora and neck-beard.

I know and understand that bands change and grow throughout there career but i love this slipknot, everything up to the Subliminal verses was insane, the power, the instrumentals, corey's voice, nothing wouldn't ever come close to them back then.

Pantera- domination Moscow 1991 Metallica-one Slayer- season in the abyss

I'll touch on a few things to give you guys some perspective. That drummer getting down? There's three. Slipknot has 9 members, including a drummer, 2 percussionists beating on whatever (mostly trashcans though), a DJ and a sampler. That singer that's so good? That's Corey Taylor, the same frontman for Stone Sour. Check out their song Bother to really get into his melody. Also, yes, he flows. With some of the earliest tracks he's on, he does straight up rap sometimes. And he's a poet with his lyrics. Consider him the Tupac of the rock community. And I don't say that lightly. I've read A Rose from Concrete. One other thing ya'll talk about though...metal's elitism. Yeah, we can be a snobby community, though it's honestly not as much about innovation as you think. Because if a band changes their sound, a lot of fans will throw them under the bus for it. It's a lot more because outsiders gravitate towards metal to begin with, so there's a sense of exclusion from the beginning. Say I find this band that I like, that's MY band. And if they get big enough that they're "pop", then I've lost my exlusivity of liking this band. Think in those terms, at least to some extent, about the elitism of metal fans. I'm with ya'll though. If it's good, it's good. And Slipknot has a lot of good stuff. And they are metal. Don't let anyone tell you different.

(Metal Elitist) Slipknot is the definition of epic. Corey Taylor's voice is so versatile and amazing. He throws his entire self into his singing. Much love and respect.

I'm a hardcore metal fan and I love Slipknot. But I got into Slipknot back in 1999 when I was 16, and they were one of those bands that made me dig deeper for crazier and heavier shit. So Slipknot was a huge reason I became a hardcore metal fan. Plus, I've seen Slipknot live more times than any other band, just spectacular. I'll always love Slipknot. Great job guys! \,,/
