I agree. Honestly the first two albums are flawless IMO.

I love how everyone has their own take on Corey's lyrics when they don't know his thoughts on them. That's why, imo, you should always listen to Stone Sour/Slipknot/... songs without context, get a feel for it and then maybe look up Corey's thoughts if you're interested And, Lex, I hear the ghost guitar, too 😅

The live version of this is incredible with the crowd singing along

I'm sure you're already aware but it blows my mind that the man that fronts Slipknot, with such anger and aggression is the same guy that sings so melodically about his feelings with Stone sour. He's an amazing singer.

The first 2 Stone Sour albums are incredible. Every song on those albums is super great.

You have to do “say you’ll haunt me”, let’s you know a little more about what Stone Sour is about.

You would love “Get Inside” by Stone Sour. Probably their heaviest song.

Good one!

Such a great, often forgotten classic. ❤🕯

This song was on the Spiderman Movie soundtrack, the one with Toby Maguire. Sometimes this song helps you to ponder after all the good you have given, have you been thankful or cared to wonder who or what it takes to sacrifice just to make us happy. It's a conflicting theme and fits the movie theme very well. One of my favorites from Stone Sour and one of their softest hits. You should check out the through glass 👍

I really love the live version that Corey sang (same concert as his live version of Snuff). The audience singing along was perfect! Pitch perfect, perfect timing… just really impressive. And that’s on top of how amazing Corey is generally.

lex has an amazing ear for music

I remember hearing this years ago, Corey Taylor really does have such a diverse vocal ability. A beautiful song for those moments when you really need it.

Very deep song by a amazing singer & group of musicians !

Great song even though it's one of their ballads. You should check out Gone Sovereign/Absolute Zero from when Jim Root (Slipknot) were still in the band. Incredible guitar work from him and Josh Rand. A couple of other great songs are Made of Scars, 30/30-150 and Say You'll Haunt Me

Allegaeon “Proponent for Sentience III “ Allegaeon “Gray Matter Mechanics “

lex i love ur takes on music.

one of my absolute fave songs

Y’all are amazing love listening to your way of breaking down the songs in your thoughts and feelings of what it means to you… may I suggest badflower- the jester I prefer the acoustic version personally God bless y’all!

You know what I really like is how Brad tries to decipher the lyrics. I think he gets that it isn't just a bunch of screaming, but has real meaning.

The music video for this was the first time the world got a good look at the man behind the mask. Good memories, thanks for taking me back.

Please check out these other Stone Sour songs: Inhale, Through the Glass and 30/30 150!

"Inhale" is a hell of a song. Corey spent some time homeless, and damn that song nails the experience.

Props to Stone Sour...Silly world...is one of my favorite songs

Melancholy music 🎶 💜

This was from the Spiderman movie! But, was about Corey's father. The video for this one would give a bit more obvious context. I think you'd like the vast majority of their songs.

Try “Mercy” and “Absolute Zero” next.

I love the house of gold and bones albums. The only issue I have with reactions to them is that while the songs are great solo, you very much lose something without the other so gs since they're designed to tell a story as a totality.

This song will forever be one of my favorites

This song takes me back! Back when the only voice of reason I had was Corey’s lyrics in this song. Rock on!!¡ And man I gotta say, try to pause the song without losing the listeners momentum 🎧🎧🎧👍. Luv u guys!

I love it when people react to Slipknot and then react to Stonesour.

Stone Sour, Slipknot, it's all about broken people, depression, suicide. Redemption !!!

I had never noticed how the guitar + cello sounds very "investigationy" but you're right. It reminds me of some of the background music in movies like Lethal Weapon.

Love this song. My favorite stone sour song.

Saw stone sour live and holy shit they are just as good live.

Check out Absolute Zero, Made of Scars or Digital (Did You Tell) after this. Bother is for Stone Sour what Bobby Brown is for Frank Zappa. ;)

What Lex is describing is the vocals being on a different time signature, than the melody of the instruments behind the voice. It's not imagined, it's actually there.

Oh you guys have got to do Hesitate by them. The video is so cool. You guys would really like it.

MOAR PLZ

Love that y'all did some Stone Sour. Slipknot gets all the love, and Corey's "other half" is just as talented, just a slightly different vein. Check out Hesitate, Song #3 (acoustic is just as good as the album version!), Suffer, Made of Scars, and Say You'll Haunt me, for starters. They have so many good songs, it's hard to pinpoint just a few for you to react to, because you really could just listen to entire albums of theirs and love every track.

Goddamn I love this song.

@Brad&Lex you guys need to watch the actual video for this song. This song was featured on one of the Spiderman soundtracks (think it was the first) from the Toby Maguire days

The way I've always seen the lyrics of this one is that it's told from the viewpoint of someone so depressed they can no longer form complete thoughts other than yearning for the release of death.

When I first heard Slipknot I said this dude can belt it out, but I really love when he gets melodic. Then he came out with Stone Sour, and my favorite parts of his voice were able to shine.

He was in stone sour first

I think a lot of good songs give just enough to set a mood but leave enough open to fit your needs for the piece. All good art should do that I think. No one should be reliant on someone else for their views of life and the world. Stay open and fluid.

Thank You!

Damn... How did I miss this?! I absolutely love Stone Sour. I hope you'll check out more by them. Through Glass is obviously a favorite of mine. But you should check out the original video. It has a great concept. Greetings from Germany

Stone Sour, Through Glass, was a song that meant a lot to me during the months in hospital before and after my heart transplant. The video doesn't apply. But if you listen to it and imagine being very sick and stuck in a bed hoping and waiting for a life saving transplant. Especially when I was in the CVICU, the walls were glass so the nurses and doctors could see you at all times.

A lot of people don’t realize how good of a singer Corey Taylor actually is because of his work with slipknot but he is actually a pretty amazing singer has range for days. You should definitely check out some more Stone Sour and even some Corey Taylor on his own he does a few songs are pretty good with Tech N9ne

I get what Lex means about the implied beat. You can imagine a drum beat that goes along with the strumming pattern.

This song hits home! On my birth certificate I prefer to keep as a bastard child!

Thank you for reminding me of this song...was not a fan of slipknot but this was a great song I forgot about....also graduated from ISU which is just a hop, skitch from des moines....this always reminds me of evanescences lithium, or even alkaline trio's crawl.....may not be what the artist always meant but things i could relate to.....or even hurt (trent reznor before the man in blacks take) but simplified?

it always made me think of the theme song from "in the heat of the night". I don't know why.

I met Corey and seen Slipknot handful of times. He’s a sweetheart

Literally the stone sour song that introduced everyone to stone sour. Just you know like 15 years ago lol

Lead singer of Slipknot!

Is she a musician? She talks like one. Too cool

My first Stonesour song was 30/30/150 and I'd love to hear your take on it.

I’m sure someone has already mentioned but he’s also the lead singer of slipnot

Can't remember where I read it but the verse once I hold on I won't let go till it bleeds represented him clinching his fist and letting go when he saw the blood in the syringe

check out 'Song #3,' 'Through Glass,' & 'Absolute Zero' & 'Gone Sovereign' (these last two are kinda a part 1 & 2 kinda thing; they're both in the same song though so you only have to look for one vid)

Lex gets it as usual

Stone Sour - Get Inside ... is the other side of the spectrum :)

You make also check the song "Landing in London" by 3 Doors Down. It is more or less in the same vein.

The art in Rock/metal is its open for your own interpretation. Of course the song has a certain meaning to the band but they leave it open so you can relate to it aswell.

What Lex is talking about at 5:45 is basically one of the things producers think when they hear a stripped back acoustic song of a writer who comes to the studio, Lex is totally a producer deep down

Lex, since you tend to lean towards the heavier stuff and vampires/ zombies, you should react to the band The Devil Wears Prada song Forlorn.

Wicked Game Acoustic version is simply amazing!

Cory wrote this song while in a van moving back to Iowa from Denver.

Subscribed, because of this song. And Lexi is correct. Corey is a musical genius… in One’s humble opinion.

Bro, he just smoked Two J's and he's trying to keep up with his girlfriend's musical dissection! I love you're content. keep it up!

Through glass is my favorite song by stone sour

The voice of a depressed and ashamed person contemplating suicide, but suspecting he would be unable to do it.

This song BBBLLLLOOOOOOOOOOWWWSSS

I was thankful when this song came out. I grew up southern baptist but had a father who practices the culture of Natives. I was constantly battling with why the song says Jesus loves ALL the little children, but you're taught "don't you dare go mix with someone who isn't pale face or the church will harass you and your family disown you". Yet Natives believe we all are one, love is love. And yes, this was repeated on the daily because "no mixed babies in MY family because you won't embarrass me" or walk into the doors of the CHURCH being approached with "you need to just get right with the LORD and stop all this mixing, it ain't rite".. I was taught that being gay was a choice and GOD will punish you, along with the judgmental individuals in the church, yet I always knew my sexuality was anything BUT straight. I even got the courage to tell my ex husband (see what I said there COURAGE) I once kissed a girl thanks to Katy Perry, to which he replied "why did I marry such a disgusting human being, turn that shit off NOW". And I believed him because :CHRISTIAN GIRLS DON'T ACT LIKE THAT. The list can go on about the brainwash nonsense that I was...what's the word we use so much these days...ah yes, indoctrinated to believe, but the beauty for this song is that you can leave it up to any view that best suits your pain with the words being spoken. Who is the devil that haunts you? How are you dealing with what you know to be right and what they want to believe is right. We all have a conscience. Do you ignore it? The actual music video, is haunting. It made us feel that we weren't alone in our misunderstood world. I'm editing to say that I don't feel like fixing the grammatically incorrect or the spelling that is incorrectly done. It is what it is. lol

Inner turmoil for sure.
