Live version is sooooo great, I watch it over and over because you can hear his emotions so raw when he sings it live ❤

Corey was on tour, I believe in England, when he was horribly sick. He couldn't move off the bed and was vomiting everywhere. He couldn't change the TV and the only thing on was one of the major music awards shows. So, he was looking at these so-called "stars" through the glass of the TV screen. It's a commentary on the shallowness and artificial nature of "fame" in this modern society. Stone Sour is amazing. I hope you'll react to more of their content.

The glass represents a distortion of reality. A "prison" of the mind, if you will. The song is a take on society and the process of finding love and happiness within oneself. Love your reactions mate. Cheers!

"Through Glass" by Stone Sour explores feelings of disillusionment and the struggle to connect with authenticity in a world that often feels artificial. The lyrics touch on themes of alienation, questioning one's identity, and the desire for genuine human connection. The metaphor of looking "through glass" suggests a sense of separation and the challenge of breaking through barriers to reach a more authentic reality.

For something a Lil harder, and my fav STONE SOUR song, "30/30-150" is a must.

Stone Sour - "Say You'll Haunt Me" 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Corey Taylor is ridiculously talented! Dude can sing and scream! Not many can do both so great!

I read that Corey Taylor wrote this song to express outrage and dissatisfaction with how artificial the music industry can be and the hypocrisy of celebrity life. I also think it can be applied to almost any situation, depending on who you are. Song #3 by Stone Sour is one of my favorites.

The tall guitarist (Jim Root) is also from Slipknot

I absolutely love seeing people see Corys face for the first time, makes me laugh every time

If you didn't already know this, it will blow your mind. Corey Taylor did an episode of the British panel show QI. It's the one called "Noise" very entertaining episode.

I love your practical criticism of the lyrics, songs, and performances. Just brilliant!

Also the wicked game acoustic version that stone sour does really shows Corey's range like no other song almost the same reaction you get when watching falling in reverse drug in me is reimaginend for the very first time

Imho if you want peak Corey Taylor clean singing From Can to Can't with Dave Grohl is insane!

"Underneath those luscious locks of hair, is a deep, deep soul. And a very wide neck" The best quote I've heard so far this year 😆💯

Something you (and the few other music reactors i watch) have really shown me is how versatile a lot of rock music really is. Most of these songs I grew up hearing them on the radio, so i never saw the context of the videos. All i had was to relate it to my own experiences. as a kid i was very depressed, and theres so many songs youve reviewed that i saw as being sad, so sad that it can make me cry if im feeling particularly bad. but hearing your perspective and ideas on what the songs are about is making me see them in a new light. These songs were written so well that anyone can see their experiences reflected in the song, but generic enough that the experiences can be so vastly different. its really given me a new appreciation for music, which is impressive considering how much i already love music. so thank you for making videos, i love your reactions

I love how everyone is so surprised by the lyrical genius in most rock music. I believe every genre in rock provokes thought. Not sure i can personally say that about other types of music.

Corey Taylor was actually in Stonesour before Slipknot. Stonesour was started in 1992, but they didn't release a demo till 1997. Slipknot actually sought him out in 2002. He accepted, replacing Anders Colsefni as the singer. Then in 2002, he revived Stonesour to release their debut album. I've seen Slipknot and Stonesour live. On the one occasion, I met Stonesour in person after the gig, such down to earth guys and Corey Taylor is so funny! 🤘

Apparently Joey, Shawn and Mick approached him and asked him to join. He agreed to go to their practices and sung in front of them. He agreed to join the band as long as he could go by the number 8 (even though he should've been 6, as he was the 6th member to join) as 8 can also be interpreted as infinity.

Stone Sour - Reborn my absolute Favorit

The long hair guitar guy, Jim, is from Slipknot too.

He knows how to make the distortion of his vocal cords. He had an issue and found his was out.

For Stone Sour single with fast rap lyrics, it's "Get inside", their first single, back when slipknot was only just taking off...

The Stone Sour guitarist Jim Root was also the slipknot guitarist... They both had this band before going over to slipknot, and when slipknot really took off, they went back to re-do their Stone Sour stuff.

I would highly recommend either Bother or Taciturn from Corey Taylor live in London for Stone Sour and to see Corey's range. Snuff is also amazing from the same gig which is a slipknot song, I love his acoustic version of Spit it Out too 😂

I really enjoy watching your mind work. Your enthusiasm isn't just authentic, it's palatable. Loving your journey through Rock. Keep it up brother.

Man can sing. Very talented.

i met Stone Sour at Kerrang!! Radio a decade or more ago, was a competition win to meet them, and they were just truly genuine people with the crowd there, and seeing them do a couple of songs in such an intimate surrounding was awesome. absolutely love your reaction dude

Maybe he's referring to the TV when he says "looking through the glass." and in the general context he may be talking about how unreal and scenographic this world of "Hollywood" is. That's what I think about this song.

This is a perfectly constructed rock song

Corey Taylor and Jim Root are part of Slipknot as well. You can find the style of Stone Sour in some songs: Psychosocial (main part), Before I Forget (bridge), Snuff (whole song).

Great reaction! The song is just a banger! And, the video is a mindfuck at the end. It was fun the look on your face when the people became cardboard cutouts. Thank you!

3:44 he was talking about Love. At this point in time in his life, he was dealing with a divorce I think or it was a break up. Actually, now if I remember correctly, this was a song that he made after he got his act together, and was feeling his second laps of depression from losing, the love of his life. She didn’t die but she broke up with him and he got so sad and torn up inside that he end up taking too many pills and overdosed. What’s crazy is that his ex-girlfriend that he loves so much mother went to check on him and his grandmother’s house and found him comatose on the floor with pill bottle in hand. The mother driven him all the way to the hospital to have his stomach pump in Given drugs to absorb the drugs that was already in his system. After that he was laying recovering on his grandmother‘s couch and he sobered up real quick and was given a new meaning to live. Cory faced a lot of hardships growing up. He was a child to a single mother that was in the most poorest of poor states in life moving from state to state to just make a floatinquiry gotten into the drug scene heavily by the time he was 16 where he was a Coke addict and had to make tough decisions in his life. This is just a little window of some of the things that this musician had to go through in life.

Now we are getting there! ❤❤❤

Hi Teddy! You should really react to Snuff. The lyrics are just gut wrenching. Such a good song!

Snuff is a song by Slipknot you should react to because that's an acoustic one, and it really shows Corey Taylor's talent as a singer. The lyrics are also really deep and introspective.

the song you need to see if the snuff Live version!! its talk about a women in his life and a friend from the band that died!! his voice is crazy in this one!!!

It's about a baked potato. Looking at it through the glass, and it takes forever. Listen to the lyrics, it's there.

I absolutely love watching your reactions and the way you break songs down and explain. So enjoy

I watched Corey this fall and got to see this song live along with snuff and I cried. It was amazing. Especially after what these songs meant to me in highschool. ❤❤ Breathtaking forever memory

Does anyone else think Teddy should see Courtney from Spiritbox's live one-take of Circle With Me? I think he'd go nuts. Even with the recorded version.

I saw these guys perform this when opening for Avenged Sevenfold and Disturbed! Amazing concert! (Halestorm also opened 😊)

Pearl Jam Black live MTV unplugged is another elite melodic, and lyrical ride!!

Mfg.... I recall my early school years this song was on repeat for soooooo long and it made me cry instantly... and it's still so good, its beautiful...

You should hear "From can to can't " , "bother" and the acoustic version of snuff

The original reason has been listed in the comments. However, through fan stories of things like seeing a loved one in prison, or the first time seeing a child in the hospital, etc. Corey states that fans have made this song their own with their own meanings, so he no longer comments on why he wrote it.

SNUFF indeed.. fire!!!🔥🔥🔥

Looks like you are sliding into more of the melodic side, with this and Chris Cornell. Might be time to look into the 90's, grungey end of the genre. Faith no More and Pearl Jam would definitely be good shouts to check out. Their back catalog is huge and you can't really go wrong with any of their stuff. Corey was a massive Faith no More fan and credits the song "Epic" a lot. For Pearl Jam, Jeremy is one of their bigger ones, and a good one to pick apart lyrically. Also probably time to hit up Soundgarden after your Cornell reactions and see him in action there. Black Hole Sun is probably the best known by them Just my tuppence.

Jim Root was the guitarist in Stone Sour as well as Slipknot at this time

Yo safe my g love your takes keep it up bro

You actually did it that got a sub from me and he's talking about the music industry

Slipknot songs vermilion and vermilion pt. 2 are older but so cryptically beautiful.

And tgat long black haired guitarist is also Slipknot’s guitarist too. His name is James Root aka Jim Root aka number 4

Amazing reaction brotha, as many have already suggested I’ll also suggest you to check out Stone Sour- Bother next, you won’t regret it. Much love from 🇨🇦

Corey "THE NECK" Taylor. Its funny you mention his neck because its been a running joke that his nickname is THE NECK. "Looking at you through the glass" of the TV, of the movie screen...

Get Inside was one of their first "big" songs. You'll definitely appreciate the rap-style mixed with heavy metal

Kid Bookie - Stuck in my ways ft. Corey Taylor. A rapper he found through socials and linked up with to make a track. He shows alot of love to rap, hes a cool dude. Also Bookie is dope on the track.

I always imagined it meaning, looking through the eyes, aka the glass eyes, but it could also mean the tv screen or camera lens, but also could be the ice pipe that you mentioned. also glass is transparent, and you see the true side of people when they are being transparent. and some people fake everything by hiding the true self because they are fragile like a glasshouse, 1 stone and it's all gone.

this is what I’m sayingggg 😭 so many avenues to go down in its meaning and I’m pretty sure Corey is doing this to us all on purpose 😂

I feel he’s touching at how Hollywood is fake and it’s the ‘stars’ you idolise but it also the ‘stars of Hollywood’ that lie. It’s not all it cracks up to be. Hence the people in the video resembling real stars such as Paris Hilton.

The episode of QI with Corey is my favourite. He is also on an episode of the QI elves podcast. Like many metalheads he is a massive nerd.

Orchids by Stone Sour always resonated really deeply with me.

YOU DID IT! I wanted this

That is Corey Taylor. Dark Haired guitarist is Jim Root (also from Slipknot).

Haha, the first two minutes remind me of when my husband told me that the singer of Stone Sour is Correy Taylor. I couldn't believe it either. He just seems and sounds soooooooo different when he's with Slipknot.

Gotta get that Snuff live acoustic reaction down!!

Oi! You dance just like me. You really get music and the message. I dig it.

Stone Sour songs will take you on a whole other trip. Corey Taylor is nothing short brilliant. As others have recommended it, I'll add to the voice that you need to check out Bother. Superb song and the lyrics are highly emotive.

You should do the pop version of "Zzyzx Road" by Stone Sour. SS was his more sensitive band. They have a lot of great material. Also, Jim Root from SK was in SS. Through Glass, as I understand it, was about addiction (minimally) and becoming a celebrity (how celebrities are mannequins and hollow personalities.) You got it in the end.

I'm still patiently waiting to find at least ONE person on KZread to react to Omega by Stonr Sour. I know it's not a "song" per se, but Teddy, I think you'd appreciate it and make an awesome reaction to it!

I feel like he’s telling us that tv(the glass) and Hollywood has been lying. He sees it bc he’s famous and been there.

Check out “Say You’ll Haunt Me” by Stone Sour. That video is a bit of a trip. Also “Bother” is another good one.

I just binged watched your metal/rock reactions and realized noone brought up the band named Incubus. If you are a hip hop head, the rhyme scheme and singing skills on “Pardon Me” would be amazing for ya.

I LOVE YOU!!! I love this song so much!!! This band is Coreys' side project. They released 2 albums if i remember right.

Ahhhhhh! Corey Taylor!!!! One of my all time favorites! He actually has several books and I've read all of them. I prefer his Stone Sour stuff over Slipknot but that's purely a subjective thing. He is such a genuine talent. Stone Sour put out a double album several years ago called House of Gold & Bones that is absolute GENIUS! The entire thing. Even if it's just in your own time, I highly recommend it❤

For more Stone Sour, I'd recommend Gone Sovereign / Absolute Zero (two songs in one video). It was one of the first songs of theirs I heard, and since then I had the pleasure of seeing them live.
