Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Hearing "Bother" by STONE SOUR 

Me: This song is so beautiful Alex: *SPIDERMAN RING!*

"The zombie hides my face" sounds like he's referring to his slipknot mask 😉

Favorite Stone Sour song right here, and I’ve actually met Corey Taylor, he is really the nicest person ever.

Man... 16 years later after its release, and it still gives me goosebumps. My interpretation of the video ending: His old self has died, and his new self has taken over, but he retains part of who he was then with who he is now. As for the Spiderman ring, this song was on the first Spiderman movie soundtrack, so that was the promotional tie in to both their debut album and the movie showcasing this song.

Also about the balance of Stone Sour and Slipknot, you're absolutely correct. He has said several times that he couldn't have one without the other.

You should listen to Apocalyptica ft. Corey Taylor - I'm Not Jesus or Sound City Soundtrack ft. Corey Taylor - From Can to Can't. Just do yourself a favor and listen to everything Corey Taylor is in lol.

Stone sour song number 3 you'll dig it

I love this song. I heard during one of the worst times of my life. It helped me through it.

In flames- Cloud Connected

Its an absolute beautiful song i always love peoples reactions when i play it for them and they dont know its corey at first hes got such an incredible range to his voice so talented but the lyrics from this song are painful to listen to but they paint a real picture of depression

I got to see this performed live recently when I caught a show in Mansfield with Stone Sour and Ozzy on his No More Tours tour. This song was amazing, Corey came out and sat center stage with a guitar, no other band members, no other instruments. Just him and a guitar. It was just as haunting hearing it live as it is to hear on a studio recording.

Can’t believe there’s 18 dislikes for this,Corey has one of the best voices out there at this moment,super talented guy,bands are queuing up for him to guest vocals on their albums,songs about losing yourself and finding yourself all in one breath.

You should check out 30/30 150 by Stone Sour.

React to Stone Sour Absolute Zero

Still one of my favorite Stone Sour Songs

This song was written by him around one of the three times that he tried to commit suicide in his life. And the thing at the ending, to me, is when he "found himself" after "losing himself." He saw that he was split in half and wasn't sure what he was doing or going and was very depressed and contemplating suicide, and actually attempted it, and when he was saved by a friend and moving back home to Iowa and everything, he found himself. And him finding himself in that way allowed him to kill his past and move on, which is why I think the video was two of him looking at each other because he was trying to find himself, and when he did, the one half died and whithered away.

STONE SOUR'S HESITATE NEXT, BRO. You'll love it.

In flames take this life

One of my favorite songs ever

Lost himself, then discovered himself. You said it at the beginning, and the ring was the symbolism for that, slipping the ring worn by the embodiment of his negative side underneath the ring he wore throughout the whole video. Corey has said in the past he's tried to kill himself, but he's in a good place now, thank goodness!

Rain when i die or would by alice in chains will make u a changed man

Dude!!! So pumped!! Love this song so much!!

Corey's voice is just amazing. This is one of my absolute favorite songs ever... my soul can totally relate to this. This song is amazing live.

Nice, thanks for listening/reacting to this. Asked for this two months ago. Glad you did it. It's an amazing song for damn sure. :D

This was the first Stone Sour song released. It was on the Spider-Man 3 soundtrack (which explains the Spiderman ring, also Corey LOVES Spiderman) if I'm not mistaken. Then it was put on their first album and shipped as a single.

Wintersun - Sons of winter and stars Powerwolf- we drink your blood

Awesome vid - saw them play this live after it came out and it was awesome!

i discovered stonesobur when bother randomly came across a playlist. eversince that day i love corey even more! slipknot for it's insanity, stonesour for it's pure form of music. Thanks alex for reacting to this song, your reaction was the same as everyone i present this song to. Keep it up man, big love from Belgium!

Stone Sour - Fabuless

The ending. " 2 become one" the old Corey and new Corey merge any come to peace with each other and create mega corey

One of my favorite songs...just love stone sour! Great reaction vid!

Thanks for doing this song bro! Back when this came out it helped me through the darkest time in my life! Still chokes me up to listen to now!!!

this song means so much to me and its also is my favorite stone sour song

One of my favorite songs.

It's about time you came back to Stone Sour and with 1 of my favorite songs at that

It’s about time you did this song. Bravo

Okay but the Michael Jackson "will you be there" from Free Willy cameo gave me life. I love MJ more than anything. 😍

I remember when this song came out it was just after my mental health took its first turn and I just played this over and over again cuz it was the only thing that made sense. I was 11 or 12, it helped a lot. I used to breakdown when I heard it but now it just reminds me of how far Ive come.

This song has helped SO MANY people with so many things. Thank you Corey. Thank you Stone Sour, and thank you Slipknot for helping me rage after I'm done crying. 💜

I was just listening to this song when notification came :) Great song, Corey Taylor amazing as always

Bother, and another song you should react to for SURE, Sillyworld, are my two favorite Stone Sour songs. Bother was written during a dark, suicidal period in Corey Taylor’s life following Slipknots break in 2002. It was on the Spider-Man soundtrack, Corey being a massive Spiderman fan, and I believe him putting on the ring at the end of the video and it overlapping onto his own reflects the idea of the song about losing yourself and finding yourself simultaneously. He lost the ring when he died, and puts it on afterward, but is still alive and the true him is still wearing it. A bit hard to explain but that’s my interpretation. Oh and ummm...more In Flames and Dream Theater please

Lyrics: Wish I was too dead to cry My self-affliction fades Stones to throw at my creator Masochists to which I cater You don't need to bother, I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go til it bleeds Wish I was too dead to care If indeed I cared at all Never had a voice to protest So you fed me shit to digest I wish I had a reason, my flaws are open season For this, I gave up trying One good turn deserves my dying You don't need to bother, I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go til it bleeds Wish I'd died instead of lived A zombie hides my face Shell forgotten with its memories Diaries left with cryptic entries And you don't need to bother, I don't need to be I'll keep slipping farther But once I hold on, I won't let go til it bleeds You don't need to bother, I don't need to be I'll keep on slipping farther But once I hold on I'll never live down my deceit -------------- This song is about being in some major depression. "wish I was to dead to cry" he or she wishes that he or she wouldn’t feel any sort of emotion. "my self affliction fades" sounds like he or she is cutting themself or something related to that. any type of self harm maybe? and it going away? "stones to throw at my creator" blaming god, or his or her parents or the depression. "masochists to which I cater" masochist means the deriving of sexual gradification or the tendency to derive sexual gradification from being physically or emotionally abused, so maybe being abused makes him or her feel better? "you don’t need to bother, I don’t need to be" tellin people not to bother to try and help and that he or she doesn’t need to be here. "I'll keep slipping farther, but once I hold on I wont let go till it bleeds" he or she will keep slipping towards the edge, but if theres any hope to hold onto he or she will hold onto hope. "wish I was to dead to care, if indeed I cared at all" wish he or she didn’t have to act like they cared about certain things, they never cared at all. "never had a voice to protest, so you fed me shit to digest" he or she never stood up for themselves and took it and took it. "I wish i had a reason, my flaws are open season" his or her flaws are easy to see so they never had a reason to not be depressed. "for this I gave up trying, one good turn deserves my dying“ he or she gave up trying to feel better, and if one other thing goes wrong he or she might as well be dead "wish I died instead of lived, the zombie hides my face" he or she pretends to be someone theyre not and wishes they couldve just died. "shell forgotten with its memories, diaries left with cryptic entries" maybe he or she killed themself and they were just forgotten, the only memory of them was his or her diary full of depressing entries. "once I hold on i'll never live down my deceit" maybe they didn’t kill themselves, maybe they are alive and well, but haven’t forgotten the crap they put up with. thats my opinion. anything i missed?

About time alex geez

Love this, have for quite a while...Stone Sour should be played more...

Dantes Inferno- Iced Earth ✌🏻

You should do Misfits - Astro Zombies and Type O Negative - Black no.1 (full version) for the Halloween season!!

Wow bro, growing like crazy these last few weeks, only 600 subs before 200k!! Congrats on all your success, keep up the grind man!

this is by far my favorite of your videos, of only for the look on your face when old Corey turns to dust and then... SPIDER-MAN RING! i cackled so damn hard i scared my cats

Please react to dimmu borgir - progenies of the great apocolypse. And Soilwork - Stabbing the drama, that would be awesome

Any song by a Stone Sour is going to be amazing. Simply one of the best band in music....period.

I've been binge watching your videos for four hours straight. I love seeing your reactions because you make me feel like I'm listening to all this songs for the first time again That got weird really fast sorry 😂 anyway, new metalhead sub over here 🤘🇦🇷

Love this song, can’t believe I haven’t seen this reaction!

You need to react to a heavier stone sour song. They are not all softer songs. I might be in the minority but I much prefer Stone Sour to Slipknot. Try Come What(ever) May, Absolute Zero or 30/30-150

my favorite song by stone sour also you should listen to this song live

I can relate to this song so much the lyrics are so painful i suffer from depression and anxiety and i play this song everytime i feel sad. I love corey taylor he's amazing. Loved your reaction alex hope you are having a dope ass day/ night keep pumping out these amazing videos. It always brightens up my day you are the best reaction channel on youtube in my opinion

Hey man thanks for watching this video. It's always a wonderful thing to see people watching and enjoying the music i love so much

Never clicked on a video soooo fast

Like for some rise against

I've watched several of your videos. Subscribed. But, straight up, I think your a rock fan from the beginning. Just good acting

This song saved my life years ago. No joke. Great vid, bro.

BURY TOMORROW!!!

The end means that he's morphing himself into one instead of fighting with himself anymore he's just himself I think

I've never clicked anything so fast, what an incredible song. You really need to listen to more Stone Sour.

Hearing this live gave me goosebumps, Corey's voice is amazing

After a while old Corey started to look like Whistler from blade.

I told my friends I have a date with an attractive girl. They told me she was imaginary. Jokes on them because they are too.

Favorite SS song. That GUITAR DUDE AND THE LYRICS. THE ENTIRE VIBE. Just- UGH. 🖤

Love it, one of the first stone sour songs I heard !!!

More Nightwish!

Should react to Asking Alexandria Alone in a Room the Original or Acoustic

so you have been doing more songs that i have asked for!!! that is great, so nostalgia demands me to request bodies by drowning pool its lit

Every time I listen to this song it hits me right in the feels

Please react to "Get Inside" by Stone Sour!!!!

Carcass - Heartwork

This song always makes me cry without fail.

Just sounds so beautiful especially with headphones on 😍😵😮🔥

You really need to do Soilwork!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You need to try from can to can't by cory Taylor very good song

I love to play this song... It feels so natural. Just a beautiful!

I love this song! I got to see Stone Sour in concert when they came up here to Alaska and played at the state fair 2 months ago! I wasn't disappointed. Corey and the band were spot on live. I got chills seeing and hearing them in person. Especially during Through Glass and Bother. The whole crowd (including myself) was singing along and it was an awesome experience. I really wanna see Slipknot live! More good songs to check out by Stone Sour would be Absolute Zero, Do Me A Favor, Song #3, Knievel Has Landed, Gone Sovereign, and The Bitter End.

Avenged Sevenfold - The Stage

Cool vid, check out farewell mona lisa by the dillinger escape plan

Beautiful song

I remember listening to this live. The band got being the stage and it was just Corey and his guitar. The whole crowd sang along. It was an amazing moment!

Corey Taylor is ❤

You should react to Stone sour- zzyzx rd.

This was the first Stone Sour song I ever heard and it's still my favorite song by them. It's just so amazing.

Wauw... Beautifel song.. chills all over

Lol I was halfway through an American Dad episode when this popped up. "I'll watch it after this episode" 1 minute later "I'll watch it now" Hey Alex, since you're such a fan of the emotions in Corey's voice (and incredibly beautiful lyrics), please check out one of the few Slipknot ballads "Snuff". Particularly this live acoustic version with Corey and his guitar: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QBK6xymmKHM.html Also, for the same reason (and amazing duet with the crowd), you should revisit Bother sometime with this live version: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zH_eZIsQ6vE.html

He should really react to some harder songs by stone sour...

I had the awesome benefit of listening to Stone Sour live when I saw Ozzy in concert! They were amazing as usual!

Absolutely love the guitar work in this song!!!!!!!!!

WHILE SHE SLEEPS - SILENCE SPEAKS FT. OLI SYKES PLEASEEEEEEEEE

You listen to nutshell by Alice In Chains.. beautiful song
