Hip-Hop Head's FIRST TIME Listening to SLIPKNOT: Duality REACTION 

This, my friends, is how it all started

As Corey would say " there are no genres, only music".

Alex in 2018: This is not something I would listen to on the daily basis. Alex in 2019: YO, SLIPKNOT PUT OUT A NEW SONG, I'M SOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!

Fun fact: they had actual fans come in and tear that house up.

SLIPKNOT IS AMAZING WHO ELSE IS A MAGGOT?

"Its not something id listen to on the daily." oh past alex you're so naive

Alex in 2018: not a thing i listen to on a daily basis Alex in 2019: YO THIS IS MY FAV METAL BAND Alex in 2020: i can't believe i missed this song, I'm so sorry

I love how this guy is so open for diffrent types of music

so this is the song where your metal infection came from, good starting point

The best part about this music video is that the band got word out that they were doing a music video, and any fans of the band that could get to that area should head over there and they could be part of it. Those people are all fans of the band that all got to go to what was probably the most intense live show ever. It's the most expensive video that record label has ever made too. Wish I was there.

look at him now… you’ve come a long way my friend..

When Alex became a maggot.... Good old days :D

Is anyone coming back to this video after watching Alex react to this a year later??

this is why metal should have more publicity and it also brings people together

Fact: Slipknot fans are affectionately known as "maggots." yeah. You love what you love

Going back and watching this again knowing how much you've learned about metal, the metal community and having gone to the trivium concert is definitely eye opening as to what a person can learn and experience in just a few months

5:05 and a new metal head clawed his way out of the womb, ready to headbang in inappropriate places, drink beer like it's going out of fashion and where leather like it's the apocalypse. He looks around, slightly confused at first, until he hears a double bass and warped chords in the distance. He stands up with some difficulty and starts shuffling off towards the concert, practicing his moshing along the way. Welcome to the family bro :p

7:45 I almost fell out of my chair wahahaha!

it’s 2 years after this video came out and he’s now a huge metal head. We did it guys 🙏

1:28 Ahh shit, Slipknot has alerted the horde... -The only guy in the room who still plays Left 4 Dead

Subsribed because you're so open mind and don't judge this genre like 99% of people do. Great!

100,000 views?! i really can't believe it! my previous highest played video was a kpop video with 14k views on it. thank you so much to everybody who has showed love and support

PLEASE REACT TO “snuff” by slipknot. It’s very slow and acoustics. He actually sings and is mind blowing

Corey is a fantastic vocalist, easily one of my favorites.

They full on rap in their song Spit It Out

The moment Alex's life changed forever.

No one: Hip hop heads: the “beat”

Just going back in time here, and im glad this was your first slipknot song. Songs like this and "before I forget" are very easy songs to get introduced into slipknot for the modern viewer

#6: Yeah I'm in a band! Guy: Cool, what instrument do you play!? #6: I'm a clown and I hit a beer keg with a baseball bat!

So this is where you first turned into a maggot (that's what a slipknot fan is called) ,, I'm a 49 yr old maggot, I just started listening to them about a yr ago.

Alex: There all chiled now. Corey Taylor: I push my fingers into my eyes!!!!!

It started with Before I Forget and I have loved listening to Slipknot since then

This is when you first started getting into metal! Glad your such a big metal head now

As a teenager I struggled with very heavy migraines this song has a special place in my heart.

I've literally gone down a flipping wormhole of your reaction videos in the last 2 weeks and I'm just seeing this. I was curious to know what Slipknot song you reacted to first. This is crazy because this the the song that made me a fan, bro! Hopefully you're going to the show at the woodlands because I'd love for you to hear the story if I run into you. Anyways man, keep doing your thing and congrats on the channel.

I believe this came out in 03’ or ‘04; this song brought Slipknot to the masses where people other than their fans or metalheads enjoyed them. And also their first hit song where there was no swearing

Yes!! Slipknot concerts are the best Ive been to! Absolute madness and fun and all the feelings, argghh I need to see them again lol. Love them.

This is SO COOL! I love it when you venture outside of the genre. - - Don't let them crispy old folks fool you...those "old people" were on the daily watching Mtv's Headbanger's ball (1987-1995)... and singing all the lyrics to every song off Antichrist Superstar. Ha Ha Ha!!! And there were a lot of brotha's and sista's getting down to Downward Spiral (Nine Inch Nails was about as Headbanger as most of us get.) Ha Ha! And don't forget that one hit wonder "Cult of Personality" from Living Colour! - Plus in 2006 I was introduced to a genre called "Screamo" with a band named Underoath. - - - Alright alright... I better shut up about all my Gen X memories or we'll end up singing the Mtv Unplugged version of Lithium. Ha Ha!

That was the first song i ever heard from slipknot and also the song that got me into metal.... THANK U SLIPKNOT! YOU MADE MY LIFE BETTER😍

The last slipknot world tour was my favorite music experience of all time. The intensity was beyond anything I've ever experienced.

Best Lyrics, best video, one of the best multi-talented bands of all time. Very underrated band. Anger is one of the most natural emotions we experience as humans, though we are told time after time to never ever express it, keep it locked away, hold it in. Through music like this, I get so much anger out of my system just by listening to people who are screaming out their feelings at the top of their lungs. It's very emotional, symbolic and therapeutic.

This is very soft heavy metal from Slipknot, try The Blister Exists from this album.

This was my first Slipknot song...ever....love at first "hearing"

Don't know when this passed a million views but congratulations! Watching you enjoy a lot of the music for the first time that I grew up listening to has helped me get through this rubbish year with a slight bit of my sanity left! You deserve it man.

RIP Paul Gray Thanks for your videos dude. Greetings from Russia) Keep it going)

This is litterally how it got me into metal back when I was 12. It was this that hooked me and then the steady evolution to the most obscene hardcore music I can find 😂

I LOVE That this is the song that set you on your journey

This was also the first slipnot song I ever heard. Bought one of the old ATV off-road fury games for ps2 and this song was in it and I freaking LOVED it. I’m not SUPER into them, but I do really like quite a few of their songs

Love this man! For the music video, the band invited fans to come to the house and basically do whatever while they filmed. They had to pay for the damages to the house. They even said they didn’t know the house had a basketball hoop.

Hey Alex next slipknot song for you? Slipknot - Snuff Thanks for making these videos man they are awesome and I love slipknot and duality and snuff are two of my favourite songs!

I stumbled across this today, I've only been on your channel for about 18 months so this was crazy to watch!!!

the little clips you edit into your videos are funny as hell. 10/10

The true powers of Corey man he can make a whole room of metal fans stop by just the raise of his hand

saw Slipknot in the title pressed th thumbnail

Iv gotta say Alex.... I really enjoy watching thez reaction videos. And u HV now BCUM if not my absolute favorite person.....yr certainly up there as 1 of my very favorite. Keep'em comin! 😁💗

There was a song I remember hearing where it starts off really calm with someone walking in an old house and uncovering a piano or drums or something and I can't for the life of me remember the name of the song but I think I remember seeing you react to it so I guess i'll just watch all 291 vids in this playlist and hope I find it again.

Look how far our boy Alex has come.....

I love this song. I have Bipolar II and every aspect of this song speaks to me. Sound, Lyrics, & Energy represents perfectly what my brain goes through and how it feels.

I've been to house parties like this, at sun up it's like wtf happened ... where'd the house go? Ah memories. This song and particularly the video is one of my favorites for this very reason.

I love how u actually have an appreciation for something so outside of your realm. Cool to hear u actually addressing what u like vs. what most people do which is like looking disgusted and can’t understand it

If you like hip hop you need to listen the music Spit It Out

5:09 always gives me chills

I've been binging your Slipknot videos this week. Newest maggot here. Love watching your metal evolution! 😝

I love this guys reactions, they're always so good

‘Duality’ is from Slipknot’s third album, ‘Vol.3: the Subliminal Verses’. Corey Taylor (the vocalist) intentionally wrote the entire album curse-free, because his songs are usually so filled with them, critics believed he couldn’t write without cursing. As the above might suggest, I’m one of the metalheads this video brought in. I really like your high energy, and your willingness to branch out to genres you normally don’t go to impressed me. I am now subscribed.

When your parents go out for the weekend and you organize a house party.

I LOVED this reaction video. You seem genuinely interested in what you listen to and give really interesting opinions about it

I am thoroughly enjoying your reactions! You are a good sport for taking a walk into the metal side! Slipknot has a lot going on in their vids and lyrics AND instruments. 🤘🤘

The video that started a metal head

Oh I love how you are so open minded !!! Please make more Metal reactions , Gojira would be awesome 👌 Stranded or The Art of Dying are really good

Glad to see that you have started with one of the best slipknot songs for beginners

Love these metal reaction vids, man! Keep them coming. Subscribed!

okay I am subbing bra!

Hahaha, watching this intro now is hilarious, I had no idea you ever did hip hop and kpop reactions, thought the whole concept was always reacting to metal.

I aprecheade that you understand such things and you are open for every Genre and take them serious i can see that you love Music and you are very passioned

the changes and time signatures in slipknot songs always get the energy up.

Yaaaa!!! More metal!!

Music: the Great Sound of Unity!

I know I'm hella frickin late (doing a marathon, watching your reactions ha) and I just had to click on this video. The entire album (Vol.3) legit saved me from...let's say doing something bad to myself. I was in a very dark place back then, suffer from BPD and this was released just in time. Corey screamed it out for me, all the anger and the pain. They saved me and I love seeing others being hyped about those songs and the band in general. Love all your reactions, keep up the good work!

I think its kinda funny that every video before this is about hiphop, and all those have like 3k views. the metal community really came in for this guy, he made a entire career out of this! great to see :)

And back to the start of it all.

You are too cute & I love how you don’t judge these other types of music !

Here's to 500k!

nice that this was your first slipknot song it was my first one to!!!!

Man, try these- Korn - freak on a leash; Rammstein - 'mein herz brennt' and 'itch will'; Disturbed - Sound of silence

My kind of music

This is beautiful. You have found it, the excitement; the energy and all that sums up the genre within 2:51. Good music transcends genre. Keep putting out positivity! Ignorance exists only when knowledge is short supply.

I cant never stop bobbing my head to slipknot

RIP LEGEND JOEY YOU WILL BE MISSED BROTHER

"Crazy spikes comin' out of dudes' heads". Lmao, true though.

It's so good!

Keep it up man. Love the reactions.

Funny enough, the whole album is clean. No expletives at all, and I think they did it to prove a point. If I recall correctly, someone basically said they were awful, and one-trick-ponies who couldn't make a song without cursing, so they made a whole album.

You should check out some Slayer "Raining Blood" for a non- beginner type of Heavy Metal. By the way, I'm 52 and have been listening to Metal since the 70's. So, not all "old" people are as lame as you may think...

Enjoying your channel! 😎👍🏻

This is your first video I saw of yours. I find this so fucking entertaining. Keep it up man.

Whos here in 2022? Legendary video

This my favorite version of Corey Taylor's mask

Love your videos man. I’ll send you some other bands to check out!

And a legend was born
