First Time Hearing "DUALITY" by Slipknot 

Guys, someone sponsored our madness 🎸 Much love to Surfshark VPN! Use my link to get 3 months free: surfshark.deals/robtv

The Drummer was one of the greatest to ever do it. Joey Jordison!! He has passed on to the other side but was my brother. I had the pleasure of being Slipknots Security Director for 3 years during the making of Duality. Unbelievable band!!

That's the metal "Stank face". That's how you know you've hit the real shit.

The “extra cymbal” is actually one of the percussionists hitting a keg with a metal baseball bat. Watch the live versions and seeing how they do it live is another level again

No Rob, this is art. The art of aural violence.

That face you were making at 2:00 is pretty much the biggest compliment you can give a musician

Metal is not just noise. It’s layered and has depth. Kudos to you for recognizing the talent. Great reaction

I love how this journey started with Panic at the Disco and now here we are just a short while later. All roads lead to metal!

The term you're looking for is time signature for the part where you're talking about bpm's at the end. If you want some of the most crazy ass time signatures in metal, listen to some Dream Theater, specifically Panic Attack. That song was specifically designed to make you feel jittery and nervous when you listen to it because of how wonky the time signatures are in the composition.

The drummer Joey Jordison, was one of the most influential drummers in metal, and many believe that he was one the best drummers in the world.

RobTV is a metalhead and didn't even know it. I love it. Their lead singer Corey Taylor is INSANELY talented. I always liked him in Stonesour as well.

Can't get enough of it Tv 🤙 You'll give "Wait and Bleed" an 11/10 That song is also by Slipknot. They have such high energy. Almost as much as you 🌩️⚡🌩️⚡ Keep em coming

Psychosocial is another one you have probably heard but its super fire, def listen to it with lyrics up if you can, their lyricism is insane in that song.

Has anyone recommend “spit it out” yet? Corey’s rapping ability is incredible on that song. Also the live versions are awesome because of the jump the f**k up moment

Maybe what you thought was the cymbal, was actually a beer keg. No joke. Its an actual instrument for this band. You gotta watch the official video for this song (and maybe also react to it cause its worth it).

"People = Shit" by far is my favorite song by Slipknot, and probably my favorite metal song from this genre. It's relentless.

Fun fact: the load bang is a keg getting smacked with a baseball bat. Ive seen these guys live

I love how much fun Rob's having with this😂😂😂

I first heard this song live at download 2009 in the uk, I was 16 and I moshed so hard i broke my glasses. I crowdsurfed 3 times until security was pissed off seeing me. I became obsessed with them and listened to their entire catalogue on the way home. If you get a chance to see their live set at download in 09, i cant explain how good it is, they made it into a dvd for a reason!

Found u randomly from other like vocal reacts, but holy shit lmao it's so entertaining seeing someone hear these songs for the first time. You probably(maybe) have gone to a metal show since this vid but if not, you NEED to. From someone who plays metal live and has been going to shows for like 15 years, it's an experience. So many different genres and subgenres, sub sub genres, sub sub sub genres 😂 there's something for everyone out there, all of It's great in its own context. Love the content dude

@Robtv, in the video, the house they are wrecking belongs to a fan of the band. It was going to be demolished anyway, so they offered it to the band to be used in the video. The crowd is made up of fans. There were actually 3 injuries during the filming of the video (the band paid their bills). You will love Psychosocial!

If you enjoy this, "custer" by slipknot is my fav from them and I'm always playing it at max volume

Corey's vocals are just amazing. How he can actually sing, hit notes and then just flip the script on you. Love his sound.

I heard Duality for the first time when the music video came on MTV when I was like in middlechool. I don't vibe much with Slipknots new music much, but I always go back to Vol 3, cause it's filled with so many heaters like this one!

I love seeing you react to such a legendary band! It’s so awesome seeing people getting into metal. Another great Slipknot clip/song is their live performance of “Spit It Out”. The duality of Corey, the lead singer’s, screams and raps (he’s actually a pretty good rapper) is just perfect. “Chef’s kiss”

I know these videos are old but I just discovered you tonight through your reaction to HED(p.e.) and I slowly been going through your metal and nu metal reactions, I have to say I love your energy. You remind me a lot of old 2 Lit Mafia with your enthusiasm. You've earned another subscriber

Yo!! This dudes energy in these reactions are insanely awesome and I like his way he jams and his commentary to these songs he's hearing for the first time! Rock on, brother!! 🤘

Love your reactions, this one is no exception. Please do Deftones. First studio album in '95 and still making amazing music (8 more albums later). Nothing else sounds like Deftones. My Own Summer (Shove it) goes hard and is a good intro.

Energy personified is one of the most unique ways ive ever heard anyone describe metal, and i love it! Great reaction man!

I think the "cymbal" part you were referring to was a bat and a beer keg

Im like halfway through this playlist of videos, and i love that he loves slipknot so much lmao

Valid AF. You nailed your reaction. First verse always floored me

Gotta listen to their song spit it out!!! The singer literally raps over a similar and faster beat

The thing you thought was a Cymbal is actually a beer keg and a bat

“Spit it out” and “sic” should be next up on your list of Slipknot songs

Been watching a few of your videos and this is the first with an ad. I love that it was on a slipknot video 😂

I know he just dont know it yet... But the bass!!! That whisper part you loved so much, that bass creates that groove. In metal and rock we also have the stank face and usually the bass brings it out in us.

Oh you're gonna love that song that was about to start in the end 😁

RobTV is forever converted, less goo

Duality is a masterpiece of its own and the music video is gold. Wanted to give you a bit of info for these guys that i didnt see from other people to help you on your way. Duality's lyrics were written by the frontman Corey Taylor during the height of his alcoholism and he would get severe migraines that would make him want to push his fingers in his eyes to get to the pain, hence the chorus. The rest is just the frustration he felt at being helpless against the migraines. As hard as this goes they have much harder songs like "Disasterpieces" "Eyeless" "Left Behind" and "My Plague" but what usually hooks most rap fans is "Spit it Out" so have fun with those

Rob you gonna have to get the headphones on tighter with all this head banging LOL. Slipknot is mandatory FGC music. Putting my bid in again for "The Downfall of us All" By A Day To Remember.

Their concert DVD "Disasterpieces" from 01-02 is the quintessential expert performance by these 9 gentlemen and encompasses the best of their first 2 albums

you GOTTA check out more Slipknot. Psychosocial, Custer, and Wait and Bleed would be some other good ones to start with!!

That "face" you're making good sir is what we in metaldom call the "Stank Face"... it's when that song groove be hitting you hard.

I can’t get over the laugh and the turn up on those good parts 😂😂😂

"what face am I making?" The classic metal stank face 😂

Corey Taylor has the second widest vocal range of any known singer (~5.5 octaves), and honestly I love that this is how he uses it

I've been loving these reacts to all my favorite music from when I was a teenager, reminding me just cause I haven't listened to it in years that it isn't still a banger! Great content man!

You might like "The Devil in I", "Before I Forget", and "Psychosocial" by Slipknot too. Originally, I didn't like "Psychosocial" because the melodic vocals in the chorus are vastly different than the rest of the song. Once I got used to that, though, I liked it. Also, search "Joey Jordison sound check" on here. He was their drummer and is still my favorite of all-time. His sound check legit sounded like it could be a song for most drummers. He also played the drums on a special rig that twisted and flipped him and the drums upside down during concerts. He was so talented and taken too soon. RIP Joey.

You're hooked now. Welcome to the metal family. ❤

Aye ya boy sponsored! Love to see it!

My guy Rob got the sponsorship and an 8 minute vid for them midroll ads, lookin like a real RU-vidr now!

I love watching first reactions to slipknot. fkn awesome

I’ll say this as a slipknot diehard fan, when people hear this as their first song and think this is what it’s gonna sound like the rest of the way you’re very wrong.. duality is one of their few softer songs and once you take the step after this it’s gonna smack you in the mouth 😂❤️

I love seeing this, such animation in your reaction. Really feeling it. That’s what music is all about. Something that makes you feel it, whatever the emotion. Props to you! 💪

I'm a certified metalhead but I also love rap and hip hop. So its so cool to see the other side of this. Love your channel!!!

Man I love people finding Slipknot. Saw them live a couple years ago and it was phenomenal

If I'm honest I've not heard a lot of their stuff. But I fuckin love this one.

Honestly, the whole Vol. 3 album is amazing. Not just for Slipknot or even metal. It stacks up against the best albums.

I really enjoy watching you enjoy yourself, bruh!

The stank face is fucking real and I had yesterday listening to Gojira. It's real.

One of the older Madden games had Duality as menu music, that might be why it sounds familiar

happy to see you getting down with slipknot mainly because alot of people have a hard time mostly for the older stuff that they started out with which i worked out to through highschool

spit it out LIVE version is a must for slipknot

Slipknot incorporates two additional percussion musicians to the conventional drummer so that's where you're getting your additonal percussion fix but Corey is one of my personal favourites as he can sing basically anything - truly a figure to strive for.

Right on dude!.. Another year of this and you'll be a certified Metal clinician 🤘😖🤘

it’s so cool to watch young people listening to the hard stuff from 2000’s!! makes me feel back when i’ve heard the first time again (you should react to the blister exists also!!)

The face you made is called "Stink Face" and it's a sign that you are truly a metalhead! 🤘

you should do a follow up reaction of the music video to this one, it's wild!

he found a song so good he almost couldnt pause it 🤣glad u liked it just subbed.

That face you're making is the "ooh that's filthy" face when the music is rocking.

Bro you energy is fire. Seems genuine and not acting. We need to expand your music horizons. A Day To Remember - Resentment. I recommended a different song on your most recent video, but here his another, they have sooo many different styles to dive into.

That face you were making is called a “stank face”, it’s the face one naturally makes when hearing good metal.

Oh damn, how is there no Jinjer - Pisces reaction yet? It needs to happen!

Another similar band/song with that whispering aspect is “Bwomp” by Mushroomhead

commenting for this nigga also petitioning for Mastadon - White Whale

This sht was always on my playlist when I was going to the gym and HEAVY Lifting. It's an adrenaline maker

Band members: 0# Sid Wilson DJ 1# Joey Jordison drumer (left the band in 2013, died in 2021) 2# Paul Gray bass player (backing vocalist is, but very rarely, died in 2010) 3# Chris Fehn percussion and backing vocals (left the band in 2019) 4# Jim Root guitarist 5# 133 Craig Jones samples (he works more on mixing the music itself than playing in a band) 6# Shawn Crahan percussion and backing vocals 7# Mick Thomson guitar 8# Corey Taylor singer New drummer is Jay Weinberg son of drummer Max Weinberg, new bass player Alessandro Venturella, new percussionist and backing vocal is Michael Pffaf aka Tortilla Man

What you are talking about where they switch up the rhythm is called timing changes. A lot of metal has timing changes. And Progressive Metal is known for having really complex times and time changes.

On to my 6th video of yours over the last hour, and what I’m noticing that’s pretty dope, is you appear to like the heavy shit, man. Yeh, that HipHop bridge is fun to cross into metal with Rage, but can already tell you don’t need the rap to enjoy what you’re hearing. Slipknot’s is a nice aperitif with starters for Heavy, but there’s a rabbit hole of Heavy AF shit out there I got a feeling you’ll fck with. Possibly even Death Metal & Black Metal, the heaviest of the heavy shit, haha. Anyway, s/o from Edinburgh, Scotland. Looking forward to seeing you discover more Heavy bands & styles. Keep it up!

I grew up a white dude listening to Tribe, Pharcyde, Diggable Planets.. mostly hiphop and R&B.. in a *very* white, rural area. I would never claim that I experienced racism directly, but I certainly felt its vile effects. We've still got so far to go, but it heals my soul that those disgusting attitudes are totally unacceptable where I live now. Music transcends. I got into metal after buying a guitar, but I came to understand that no matter the genre, we all sing about the same struggles, victories, loves and fears. Anyway your videos are awesome and totally brought me back :)

Annnnd a new metalhead is born. ❤❤❤🤘

Subbed. Love the energy. Let's get it!

Slipknot is not just iconic, they are one of the reigning Gods.

You are a gem! Thanks for the entertainment!! Subscribed!!!

Some of the nicest dudes ever. I got to meet them multiple times. 2 of the guys are huge collectors of sports cards and memorabilia. I got to meet them because of that fact. It got me to listen to their music. BLISTER EXISTS!

"Who is that drummer?" "Which one?" They have three percussionists, a DJ, a sound-effects/sampler/extra instrumentalist guy, 2 guitars, a bassist, and a vocal. 9 goddamn people on stage.

Good vibes, watched your freak on a leash reaction and you got the sauce, keeps things interesting 😂 subbed.

You’re my new favorite reaction tuber now

My favorite new channel 😂

Really loving watching you discover your inner metalhead! I think you'd love Rammstein - hugely popular industrial metal band from Germany. Would love to see what you think of Du Hast (the live video filmed in Paris is amazing - they're the sort of band you really need to see the stage show). Also Deutschland is an incredible song with one of the most moving, cinematic music videos ever made.

I recommend Rob Zombie Dragula 🔥🔥🔥

Man back in like 2008-2009 I went to a slipknot deftones concert, slipknot put on an insane show. Slipknot live is the best concert I have ever been to.

Time Signature is what you were thinking of when talking about BPM.

Welcome to the club buddy!

Most people that aren’t big Slipknot fans definitely remember this from Madden ‘10. One of the best soundtracks of all time!

It is a work of art. They have been around for a long time and they don't make a bunch of albums because what they record has to be awesome! In about 30 years they only had about 4-5 albums.all classics.

Dude, if I had the money for Patreon, you'd have it. Love your reactions. Rock on!

Great reaction! 🔥 Legends! 💯

That face you were making is called the stank face, and only the best metal brings it out. When that shit hits just right, and you vibing to a nasty riff or some nice heavy groove, the stank face comes out. Only some of the really heavy stuff gets a stank face out of me anymore, but everyone gets it haha.
