Mister X the f@ck you talking about?! You realize the reason why 7 of every 10 suicides are white men is because of BS mentalities like yours? If men are ridiculed for being weak or cowardly for crying or showing weakness; it takes real heart to still be able to, because that is standing against crowds of people like you who really don’t give a f@ck
As a Christian, a roman Catholic one at that. I love slipknot, have done since Iowa. They remind us there's a bit of the devil in all of us. Its just about keeping that sucker in check. On top if that, Corey is hands down one if the best vocalists EVER
Corey Taylor said "it's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down. At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself"
My best friend committed suicide the other night. This was one of his favorite songs. I'm definitely gonna blast this for him. Rest in Peace Christopher Wayne Ramsey. I love you brother.
I really came close to crying. Obviously I didn't know Paul, I wasn't even a fan during his time. However, the emotion and power of this music makes it impossible not to feel what he was feeling at this moment. You can tell that he is channeling all of his sorrow and anger into his performance, and that makes it so much more real than any top 40s artist who just spews out meaningless lyrics written by a committee who designed them to be catchy and easy to sell to ignorant people. This is the spirit of a real musician.
or you know.... he wasn't really crying at all lol cause thats an involuntary throat reaction, to kinda choke when you cry... even though you try to hold it so bad
Candy Hardee i could understand being emotional and having strong feelings but why would you break down for someone you hardly know just because you met him once or maybe a few times and cuz he gave you a mask, i domt know but imo i think thats retarded!!! i could understand if it was a close friend or something or someone you knew for a long time and had history with, someone one you meet for the first time or someone you listen to in the radio is not worth breaking down over, you dont know what kind of person they are and how they would truelly treat you personelly, reading some of these comments just make me realise most people are dumb!!!!!!!!!!
This is by far the best music perfomance i have ever seen. No one ever showed me this much, that he expressed the way he feels with his music.. Corey Taylor, i know you lost a member of your family, i'm sorry about that, but you showed all the people around the world, that you're human and not ajust a guy behind a mask...
darkangel no. The song was about that but this performance in particular of this song was dedicated to Paul Gray, Slipknots late bass player who tragically died of a drug overdose in May of 2010 R.I.P Paul Gray 1972 - 2010
The true feelings of a Heavy Metal frontman who lost one of his closest friends, when his voice cracks and he looks up at the ceiling then you KNOW he’s really feeling Paul’s spirit and can’t handle the sadness, RIP Paul Grey, I hope you’re looking after Corey and the rest of Slipknot, admiring their progress as a band, Slipknot really isn’t the same without Paul... but I know he’s smiling down on the band and helping them through it all..! Just like Chester Bennington of Linkin Park... sometimes I get the feeling that Paul Grey, Chris Cornell, and Chester Bennington are all watching over not only their respective bands, but also everyone else’s... we lost those three too soon... but, they’re there to show their bands the light and keep them going..! Sorry, this is turning into a bit of a rant... I guess I’ll just end this comment with... sleep in heavenly peace Paul Grey, Chris Cornell, and Chester Bennington, may you three guide your bands and let them know that you three are there... 🤘 Edit: and now we must add Joey Jordison to the mix… this song is even harder for Corey… I always tear up when I watch this video… or any live acoustic version of “Snuff” in general…
People always peg Slipknot as this evil, twisted or satanic band, usually for no other reason than because of the way they dress and their horror movie type masks. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Sure, some songs are dark, but a lot of their music is very emotional and this right here proves that they are human beings who love and care just like the rest of us. Very hard to watch a grown man cry like that. RIP Paul. Thank you for all the joy you brought to those around you and for all of the kickass tunes you gave us.
AKGuitarist To expand on that thought: A lot of people are under the impression that if a song is heavy then it must be filled with hatred and aggression and only mellow songs can be emotional. Just because a song is heavy doesn't mean it isn't emotional in much the same way that just because a song is mellow makes any less evil.
AKGuitarist People will be people & they can be pretty damn clueless. isn't it amazing that a lot of so called "dark" music reflects society? You made good valid points.
"Slipknot shouldn't be allowed to make music." one person said in my guitar class... and as my teacher said, "Music is art, something you feel, you may not feel music like slipknot, others do." I dare him to listen to snuff and say this isn't music, it's a masterpiece if I do say so myself, rest in peace, Paul, we miss you, brother.
Snuff is a masterpiece that Slipknot fans will never get tired of. Its so full of emotion, for christ sakes Corey Fuckin Taylor is trying not to bawl his eyes out in the middle of the song.
4:13 Whoever the fuck screamed "Sing it baby, come on! " after Corey broke down, the deepest pit of hell has opened and the devil is patiently waiting for you.
+JopezoFIN Same man, just seeing him like that actually really shatters my spirit... Corey didn't deserve what happened to him, but everything happens for a reason. Just like what Corey has said before "At the same time, it was good that she did, because it was that final push to me figuring out myself" He's gone through so much heartache and down falls in his life on and off. First song I ever heard from these guys when I was 9, till this very day. It still makes me cry because he's a great guy and like I said, "He didn't deserve all of these downfalls in his life."
this guy is an absolute fucking genius, he is so talented and his music is like no others. if you want to cry then watch this video, this is a man pouring his heart and soul into a song.
Just in case anyone wanted to know the tuning its: C# G# E B F# C# It's going from high E down. OR that's the tuning in studio. He could be using something else here.
Corey makes me very emotional... even when he is happy. He reminds me of my dad when my dad wasn’t a drug addict and was still himself. My dad even looks like Corey. ❤️
I have nothing but respect for Corey Taylor crying like he did. A man like him, headstrong to the core and built to last, showing his soft side during a song for Paul Gray. Saying he is a pussy for crying on stage is like saying you wouldn't care if your loved ones passed. Everyone is human, and everyone cries, sometimes on the inside and outside. Anyone who says otherwise is not telling the truth. R.I.P. Paul Gray, #2 all the way. And respect to Corey Taylor, for letting his emotions be seen.
Damn, this beats all of the emotional sobbing performances of other artists who just stop mid song. The pain just added to the vocals and made them stronger
Bury all your secrets in my skin Come away with innocence and leave me with my sins The air around me still feels like a cage And love is just a camouflage for what resembles rage again So if you love me let me go And run away before I know My heart is just too dark to care I can't destroy what isn't there Deliver me into my fate If I'm alone I cannot hate I don't deserve to have you Ooh, my smile was taken long ago If I can change I hope I never know I still press your letters to my lips And cherish them in parts of me that savor every kiss I couldn't face a life without your lights But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight So save your breath, I will not care I think I made it very clear You couldn't hate enough to love Is that supposed to be enough? I only wish you weren't my friend Then I could hurt you in the end I never claimed to be a saint Ooh, my own was banished long ago It took the death of hope to let you go So break yourself against my stones And spit your pity in my soul You never needed any help You sold me out to save yourself And I won't listen to your shame You ran away, you're all the same Angels lie to keep control Ooh, my love was punished long ago If you still care don't ever let me know If you still care don't ever let me know
For those who don't know, this song is about Corey's first divorce, not about Paul. The reason Corey has such an emotional bond to this song is because this was the last song they recording for All Hope is Gone, and thus the last song Paul and Corey worked together on. And like Corey had said, "They were like brothers."
@@rensverhoef2339 skip to 3:25 that's for Paul right crying his eye out while singing these lines- So break yourself against my stones And spit your pity in my soul You never needed any help You sold me out to save yourself
Thinking about Corey and how this song relates to him I think of this song *hitting him like a 10 ton pallet of bricks emotionally.* I'm just listening to it and it hits me at an emotional core that I didn't think I had. It's astounding that he was able to articulate his emotions and even more incredible that he could preform something so personal in public for the world to see him. I'm a big fan of "made of scars" by stone sour (Also Corey Taylor) but snuff proves that scars run deeper than the skin and flesh especially in Corey.
justin thompson I agree. I never got round to them until the past year, and found The Grey Chapter to be one of the most honest, heartfelt albums of last year
I dedicate this to Joey Jordison, his death was a devastation and it broke me. We'll always remember the greatest drummer that ever lived, rest in peace Joey.
You can really hear the pain in his voice at 3:08, Corey Taylor is honestly one of the most genuine people I've ever seen. Brother you deserve so much, Paul's definitely proud of ya.
That's straight up fuckin metal man, I don't care what anyone says. Losing anyone, in any form is some of the worst non-physical pain you can experience. My heart goes out to him for finishing strong and continuing to make badass music with one of the greatest bands ever. Rock the fuck on! \m/
To the hateful comments calling him weak for crying...Saying its gay...saying its not manly...He lost one of his best friends, for gods sake show some damned respect. If you lose a loved one, you dont just go on like nothing happened, it hurts, and it doesnt very much go away. You're the weak ones for being so closed minded about other people and their emotions. Someone who is weak is someone who is afraid to show their sorrow, whos afraid to open up, all it does is put your insecurities to the forefront.
what happens when you dont cry the pain only doubles, its pretty naturally that we cry. seeing how there is tearducts in our bodys for millions of years
Freemo Plays Accepting grief and pain through crying is one of the best ways to cope and come to terms with the issues at hand, sort of like an emotional poo
Death Machine well, guys cry whenever they need to, i used to cry alot, cuz i was sad and stressed, the only reason i dont cry very much now is because im living with almost no stress, same could be said for a girl too
Death Machine So you know every guy on earth so you're aware of what the vast majority are thinking? I can tell you that guys that dont cry in public usually cry when they're alone, society made it taboo for us to feel sadness, but if you catch a guy when he thinks he's completely alone, youd see a different side in alot of men
Stupid2669 you must live in a rough area bro, ive only been mocked a couple times and the people that did it always got a "long talk" with my friends, you might not believe it but im apparently "rolling with the big boys" and they all respect me, i let them know right off the bat how I view emotions and since i stand for it they respect me about it, im by no means some "pc asshat" i just speak the truth, stand for something or fall for everything. If what you stand for is men being allowed to cry then you better flaunt it because if you dont then you're just as bad as the people who dont think emotions are ok
Corey Taylor is my absolute favorite singer/songwriter. Everything he does, he does it with passion. You can feel his anguish during this performance. I'm battling depression as well, and a lot of his music has helped me cope. It let's me realize that I'm not the only one dealing with this darkness. Thank you Corey for being a rock for myself and I'm sure many others.
@Malix Corvin. I've dealt with depression since I was six years old. Before Slipknot and Stone Sour, I discovered Alice In Chains, and songs like Down in a hole, Brother, Rotten Apple, Would and Nutshell helped me get through. People always asked me why I listened to sad music if I was sad, and all I could say was "they understand what I'm going through, and they made it through to write about it". Depression is a constant fight, but if I can get through it, believe me so can you! Never stop fighting, and keep on rocking! Peace!!!
i played this at my friends funeral after hurricane sandy hit she got killed by a falling tree when i heard i was devastated i almost killed myself i knew her from back when we were five years old and i was dating her and was gonna ask her to marry me i started drinking profusely and locking myself in my room but then realized she wouldn't want me to live like that so i recovered for her
+Ian Loeb We were hit hard with sandy too. I heard a few of the tragedies on the news after it was over and I'm so sorry for your loss. A tattoo sounds so sweet and you're an amazing friend
I know how you feel. I lost my soul mate. Even though it is coming up on 15 years since he passed, I still miss him & love him. Loss is rough. There is no " easy button" to healing. I think getting a memorial tattoo would be a beautiful way to show your love for her forever.
i felt that, crying while singing is hard, yet, he hit every note and it still sounded good, hes brave for showing his emotions though, everyone thinks guys shouldn't cry, everyone has emotions regardless of their gender.
I've been watching this exact live performance from different uploads .. I love Corey so much and no matter how many times I see him cry it gets me everytime!
You know what got me into tears? When he looked up, as if he was saying... This is for you Paul... Let's rock this crowd one last time together, even if you're not here anymore!
I’ve literally balled my eyes to this song numerous times. During heartache, during addiction, it truly helped me release my emotions I couldn’t keep in anymore.
to all those who say he just screams and has no talent to those i give you this and paul how much you are missed cannot be put into words i just had wished i had gotten the chance to see you live see you later man rip
God damn... My dad was a Marine, I always cried when I saw him come from after seven long months of hoping he isn't dead. The thought of losing him made me cry every night. I've been strong on emotions ever since, but this is different. It's the same thought, only instead of it not happening, it happened, and you can't change it. He poured his heart and soul into the song, you know Paul meant so much to him...
The hurt and pain in his voice, that came from deep within....the love he had for his brother in the band really speaks to a lot of us...he's human just like us. It's okay to show emotion and cry. So powerful.
i respect that he cried in front of so many people. it takes balls just for him to stand in front of so many, and even more to breakdown woth emotion like that. corey has every ounce of my respect.
Makes me miss Chester Bennington even more watching one of my role models still hearing thinking of all the work they had left to do would of gave anything to see this man and Chester together
It’s not the same, but they did perform together for a few nights in 2016 during Kings of Chaos. 1st show ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--V4GvzsHWd4.html 3rd show ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R67TqoSa9Io.html
