Corey Taylor - Snuff (Acoustic) 

Corey Taylor - Snuff (feat. That one guy in the audience)

"When you're happy, you enjoy the music but when you're sad, you understand the lyrics.

No autotune, no pitch correctors, one take for all... pure talent. Respect Corey!!

We don't look for old songs, we look for the memories they carry.

the one guy screaming his lungs out after the first chord change is a legend

Billie Ellish : My song is so sad Corey Taylor : Hold my mask

2024,anyone?

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 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 light 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 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 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

I'm not crying. You are crying.

Want to see a metal-head cry? Corey Taylor: hold my feelings

"I only wish you weren't my friend Then I could hurt you in the end" that hurts even for a man

This is my favourite version of Snuff. His voice, the emotions he transmits through his singing, the intensity he puts in every line, the crowd singing with him, the dim lighting. Its such a powerful performance. I just love this version so much.

0:25 The guy that screamed "YEEEAAAHHHH" as soon as he figured out what song Corey was playing. so precious.

Someone said that Corey can switch from a complete psychopath to a broken kid.....love you man!!

Still a killer hit, sad part is the older you get the more real this song becomes

"I couldn't face a life wihtout your light, but all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight." Breaks me down every single time.

Corey: "I'm gonna play you a very heavy song for me" Crowd "Whooooooo, yeah"

doesn't need to be heavy, to be heavy

The saddest thing is having one to sing it to. Here I am 😅. Top 3 best songs ever written, easily

Still get goosebumps when this comes on. This is the song for all us broken men. Cheers boys 🍻

The saddest part of life is when the person who gave you the best memories becomes a memory.

We need more singers like this Guy and the Guy from slipknot.

I just Lost my wife of 15 years to heroin. This song has been the catharsis and Can to Can't.... Thank you Corey

Thanks Corey. There's a hundred million of us all feeling like you wrote our song and wrote it well. Sorry for the journey, but happy you shared your tale with the rest of the tribe.

Music did not create pain and sadness it is pain and sadness that created music.

"if you still care don't ever let me know" that hurts at the bottom of my heart

This is one of the greatest songs of all time. Doing it acoustic makes it even better. 10/10

This song sums up my the last 2 years of my life. Almost like it was written straight out of my heart. My kids are the only thing keeping me alive.

“It took the death of hope to let you go” that’s an absolutely heartbreaking lyric

No one talking about the guy in the background singing those screams to perfection?

Don't worry Corey, not a single Slipknot fan ever shed a tear listening to Snuff. We are with you, we love you so much and this song is a blessing. Thank you for everything

Love how the most viewed bar is the whole song... pure talent.

3:06 There's a guy in the audience holding that "ooooh" perfectly! Stellar job, man!

3:08 that man in the crowd hit that perfectly and nobody did anything. He deserves appreciation.

We need this version on Spotify ❤

2035 who’s here

No heavy autotune and whatnot, just a man and his guitar pouring out his raw soul and talent

Nobody knew the song until the first chord change. That change is so iconic.

2023 and this song is carrying me through the heaviest time in my life. Always been a fav...now it hits different. 🤍🤌🏼

Every single lyric is pain. This is the best song EVER written ❤

"Dad, why was my sister named Daisy?" "Because your mother loves Daisies!" "Thank's dad!" "You're welcome Snuff."

Holy shit, even the audience in this is incredible...

Finally this masterpiece is on spotify

I’m so happy this is on Spotify now

If this isn't played at my funeral, I'm not going.

Music: Starts Guy in the audience: YYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

one of the most powerful songs ever. brings me to tears

It’s just as amazing lyrically as it is emotionally. I can’t find another song like it

Corey: I’m gonna need help on this song That one guy in the audience: You got it boss!

"it's crazy how one song can bring back thousands memories."

Thanks for this perfomance

There is 1 fan in the crowd that gets what's going on. That feeling is amazing. It's like being able to watch the creator create life.

in my opinion, metalists write the best sad, relatable, emotional songs ever. such as snuff and for slipknot, vermilion pt 2. This is a great song, the raw emotion in his voice. truly a masterpiece

I was 19 when I first heard snuff, at first I skipped through the song because it wasn't heavy but now turning 30 tomorrow I understand that I skip it due to how heavy it is.

Who’s also listening in 2024? 🙋🏻‍♂️

Hey country boy, des moines and all of us are proud of you. Thank you for your ability to write from depths unknown to most.

damn im never going to get tired of this song

fuel for the mind.

Amazing vocals. His voice resonates into you. Thanks Cor. Truly one of the best vocals ever.

One of the best acoustic songs ever

Best part of this acoustic version was the fact whole crowd is so well synced and in tune. Incredible. Love and respect from Finland.

When people say Metal singers can not sing and just scream show them this lmao.

Just watched him perform @ Revel entertainment @ ABQ, NM. From the start of the show/set, he mentioned his sore throat, yet, he still performed this song. With almost turning 50, Corey, I'm so happy I got to finally see you in person. You are my inspiration for staying clean and sober. #RockToRecovery

Shout out to the guy who hit the "without your light " backup and the perfectly timed oh 🤘🤘💪💪✊️✊️

The crowd singing in the background is hauntingly beautiful!

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... 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 light 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...

Undefiably a heartachingly-beautiful masterpiece.

2:17 😂 I love how the guy in the background repeats him like an echo just like in the recorded song😂

Doctor: You have 4 minutes to live. Me: .... Can I have 4:33? God: Go ahead son. Go ahead.

30times In a row on repeat.. greatest song ever written

Goosebumps every time.

It's admirable how the human's pain can be transformed to this masterpiece of music..

So much pain in his voice. This is real music, take notes

This song powerfully and poignantly captures deep emotional experiences. The lyrics articulate painful feelings of loss self-denial, and relationship complexities There's a heaviness of the past and a struggle with inner demons felt in every line. The musical accompaniment amplifies the emotional weight of the words, making the song captivating and multifaceted. It speaks to the difficulty of accepting oneself and letting go of loved ones, especially when feeling unworthy of that love. This song leaves a profound impact and prompts reflection on the nature of human relationships and the influence of the past on the present. 😭

Absolutely stunning. Perfect tune. Well done Corey.

This is arguably one of the greatest songs ever written.

the audience's reaction to this performance is everything. every single person in that crowd holds immense respect for corey, for good reason.

My goosebumps have goosebumps! One of the most powerful acoustics EVER!🤘🤘

Who else is crying? RIP Paul Grey #2

People: Metal singers don't know to sing. Corey Taylor: Hold my mask.

Who else is listening to the song the thousandth time this week?

In my opinion -> Best song and best Version of all times. What a pleasure to hear.

At the age of 50 I shouldn't be having fantasies, but when it comes to Corey Taylor and his voice I can't help it 😊

My wife passed away on 6/10/23. This was always our favorite song you did. She had an amazing version on acoustic she'd play, when she could, it was very hard for her too. She had a very hard and tragic upbringing and this song just hits all those feelings. Thank you for this song. Thank you for those memories. We were lucky to see Slipknot for the first time, for both of us, the last time they played here in Seattle at Climit Pledge Arena. We knew you wouldn't play this song but you did and we swore you played it just for us. It was like no one else was there, just us 3. You're amazing Corey, if you ever see this, Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. This song has brought so many good memories and now I just cry when i try to listen to it. It's mostly happy tears. Much love from Seattle WA

"It took the death of hope to let you go" is one of the realest, and most heartbreaking lines ever written

One of my favorite songs. Cory Taylor has a voice no one can duplicate.

Thank you for making this video. This song encompasses every broken part of me. It's so very tragically beautiful and bold of you to share this side of you. I'm proud of you and your perseverance. You seem to have lost a lot along the way. Glad to see that never stopped you from achieving your goals. The new album is amazing BTW. You are legendary much love to you. Xoxo

"I only wish you weren't my friend, so then I could hurt you in the end." Never had a lyric hit me so deeply and personally

he sings like an angel and screams like a devil, how is this possible?

This song....will alllllways be one of my favorite songs...its sooo sad and sooo beautiful

My all-time favorite song 😢 Corey was great here. ❤

I know I'm probably never going to get noticed on this comment. I just wish you would see this. This song got me through our year lockdown. committed suicide a year ago. this song helped me not to take the last sheet of pills and not to pull the trigger. After a year I still feel the same. being emitted to a facility the day after tomorrow on the 16/03/21, on the verge of trying to commit the same action.. wishing to overcome my depression. Just know i listened to this song before i tried to despise my fate. This kept me from dying. With tears in my Eyes.. I thank you sincerely Corey Taylor. You literally saved my life.

"It took the death of hope to let you go. "

Been in full recovery since 2014❤... use my singing voice today to get out of my own head... iam 59 years young still kicking ass blessings yall 2024 much love, g❤

Song is timeless will still be relevant 20 years from now!! The power of a well written song never goes away!!!!!

Corey: I'm gonna play you a very heavy song for me. The audience: *Whooooooo*, yeeeeeeah!

Imagine the balls it takes to front Slipknot, then go out, and own the stage solo with incredible emotional stuff that hits home like this. He did the oil and water thing, it's his.

Only Corey Taylor can be heartbreaking, inspirational, and still extremely fucking metal all in one song. What a legend.

Love this song. Just the pure emotion when he sings it. ❤

Pain in his voice. Love in the crowd’s. Unforgettable! Thank you Slipknot.
