Pastor Rob Reacts to Slipknot THE DYING SONG // Reaction and Analysis 

Corey's Interviews with Larry King are definetley worth watching. It gives a bit of insight into how he thinks and where some of his lyrics come from.

I think a lot of the reason the whole "The lyrics seem like they just rhyme to rhyme" thing is because Corey excels - especially in Slipknot - at being metaphorical. The lyrics of a song can be weird or even make literally no sense until you're viewing it through the correct metaphor or subject matter, in which everything starts to make sense, and even other lines will bring on a whole new meaning, and that's just how Corey rolls. I find he is generally very infrequent with literal messages in Slipknot songs.

Corey had this to say on Loudwire about the song: “To me, it just seems like it’s all the outrage and none of the punishment. For the last few years it’s been very trendy to be offended and outraged by everything, and yet nothing happens - especially in my country, which is just ****ing ridiculous. It’s almost like the tables have turned, and the more angry people get, the more the people who they’re mad at just double-down on the ****." "Instead of there being cause and effect, or crime and punishment, now it’s just like, ‘**** you, we don’t care.' And it’s almost like people are ringing the doomsday bell. You’re sitting there going, ‘Well, it’s been fun! Everybody, pick up your trash when you’re leaving, and I’ll see you in Hell!’ That’s kind of what that song is. It’s just like, ‘If we don’t figure it out, I’ll see you when the meteor hits, basically.’" It’s like, ‘If you mother****ers want to kill each other, go ahead. I’m just gonna stand back and will not be in the line of fire,’ because I’m tired of the idiocy. I can only watch stupid **** for ****ing so long. So yeah, it’s me basically going, ‘Go ahead, just ****ing beat the living **** out of each other and see what happens.'"

The “creepy” face on Sids turn tables is his mask from the last album cycle. Sean’s mask this album cycle is like a disco ball style clown mask.

Man I can't belive I've been watching ya'll for 3 years now. Fun fact Shawn 'Clown' Crahn directs all the music videos for the band. He and Craig also do the low-key background music and all the creepy type of stuff.

Slowly watching hardcore Christians become hardcore metal fans……fantastic keep it up god bless.

Slipknot's music has evolved throughout the years and isn't the same as in their earlier days when you had Chris Fehn, Joey Jordison, and Paul Grey but their three new members are great fill-ins for them and bring an extra element to the band

I love you guys being a believer and a metal head myself it would be awesome to see you guys to interview some of these groups and bridge the gap and just have a discussion. Keep up the awesome work.

It's funny that you mention the music industry, this is actually the last album Slipknot is making with Roadrunner Records. They had a contract for a certain amount of albums and this is the last one they are not going to be staying on the label after this. There is some kind of bad blood or something like that, this was a while ago.

Please do yen by slipknot, it’s really good and I’d love to hear your take on it

Picture this: your videos actually reach some random atheist in Italy, which after discussions with some very closed minded people decided to hate religion for a while, and make him say "maybe I was wrong". Awesome video as always

From the interviews I have read or seen regarding this song, I think you nailed their meaning. Terrific reaction, thank yall. 🤘

Great breakdown as usual. Keep up the good work. Slipknot has progressed in so many ways and Corey loves to switch it up right after you think you got their style down. They are so talented and been through so much as a band and family. They literally are all brothers after being together for so long. Im sure there will be much harder and aggressive songs on this album and albums in the future. BTW.....that 'what was that' was Sid the DJ. His new mask is mechanical and he makes it move to Coreys vocals sometimes. He was the one that made the ambient track at the end. He is also known as DJ Starscream in the EDM scene. Would like to request Earth Groans: 'Silk' and After The Burial: 'Lost In The Static'. Thanks guys, God Bless.

I saw your first Slipknot video, and I loved it! Been a loyal sub ever since! Also, the video you were talking about with the destroyed house is for the song "Duality", which is my favorite Slipknot song and video, also.

i have said it before this channel is awesome..... god works in amazing ways

God bless you guys for doing these videos

God bless you guys

I found out today that Slipknot has a new album and it was from you, thanks again! Love this channel!

It's been awesome to see the quality of the content has gotten better over the years. Hopefully we will see a Gwar reaction one day. Keep up the great work.

God bless y’all

I love your channel sir!

What a great groove! I'm a huge fan of Jay Weinberg (drums)! Gotta wonder if this is their last album. The disco, sparling mask was Clown. :) Also, Corey and Clown's sons are in a band with Corey's son as the lead singer, and Clown's son as the drummer, called Vended.

Insane i been following you guys since you dropped the first video! Like 300ish subscriber lol Best of wished

you guys need to check out motionless in white again! i think “masterpiece” or “disguise” are just a few of theirs that would be good ones to react to

I’ve been following y’all for awhile I’m always VERY curious about what your interpretation will be. I love slipknot as well as most of the bands y’all analyze. I am also an active and devoted Christian. I went through a really dark time in my life around the same time Slipknot released We are not your kind. I know God definitely got me through those dark days but so did slipknot. Lol I met Corey this past year at a convention!!! So down to earth, loves meeting his fans. Acts like he’s not famous. You can tell he’s got this unwavering sense of remaining authentic and humble towards anyone he meets. I was so Star struck…I basically mumbled everything I wanted to say backwards and confusingly like. None the less great band. Great lyrics, great music. Y’all keep doing your thing! I love to watch each new reaction/analysis!!! God Bless!

Dand I wish this would of showed up on my feed...? I've been subbed for a long time

I saw these guys live not to long ago, they were absolutely amazing. I actually got a pick from the bass player which was awesome.

Much love to you guys. Would be really cool to see you guys check out grave declaration. Very different type of Christian metal band wanted to hear your thoughts on them!

This song is song so good! I had so much fun doing a cover of this one ! 🔥🤘

Pastor Rob, much respect to your videos and the views you share. I myself am agnostic and a fan of heavy music. I appreciate very much your point of view. Open minded. Educated. And not blind to the writing between the lines. Being someone who doesn’t know the Bible, I’m always interested to hear commentary on the subject from someone who does. Agree or disagree, you learn nothing when not listening. Keep up the good work

Love you guys, congrats on your success! I can’t believe it’s been that long. Feels like I’ve Ben watching for a year or so? But then I thought about it. It’s been a long time! So song, it’s new to me. Watched it once and haven’t come back. But I feel you understand it. The chorus is the point. That’s the chant. The verse is just poetry. To add to the chorus. I feel like you understand most of the song. And one can’t fully understand what someone else is laying down. Side thought. There’s a new song. I haven’t watch it yet, but will. It would blow my mind if you could get Cory or who else would want to be in? And react to the new video and tell him your take and have him react to that! I believe deep down he’s a cool guy and would be up for something like that? Plus he knows a lot of metal people and get them interested in the idea. Anyways, just a thought? Keep it up and baptize Morrre… MetttAaaaalLLLllL!

I have heard that Corey Taylor is writing an entire book addressing cancel culture. Although he appears to be a liberal, he is not a far left liberal. Even some on the left are getting fed up with cancel culture at this point, probably because woke narcissists eventually turn on each other for not being woke enough. But Corey blames both the left and the right for cancel culture.

If you decide to continue with Slipknot here are some more songs that could make good reactions: Gematria (The Killing Name) I Am Hated The Chapeltown Rag

Thank you for the reaction as always. Love the breakdown of the lyrics. Still hoping for your thoughts on the song Bloody Angel by Avatar.

Awesome

The video where they were destroying the house was for the song duality which came out in 2004 almost 20 years ago

The simple mask at the start/end being floated away is (I think!) a goodbye to original drummer Joey Jordisson, who passed last July. Fairly sure its a representation of his very first mask Great tune.

You guys need to check out Attalus. I love their song Albatross but there are a lot of great songs on that album. It's a full concept album exploring God as the ocean, and someone's journey in accepting him.

Speaking of new songs, how about Demon Hunter's Heaven Don't Cry. I think I've listen to that single for 3 hrs straight one day. Enjoy watching you guys, praying for Kristy's health. God bless y'all.

Can y’all react to Fit For A King - End (the other side)

You guys should do Vermilion next. That’s some classic old school Slipknot.

The little part at the very end is only on the MV, the song is on Spotify and that is not included.

slipknot always put out bangers

He was wearing his clown mask its a mirror ball clown mask😀.The dj was holding his previous mask.he has it on stage on current tour and its mouth moves along to the song. Great reaction 👍🏻🤘🏻

Corey’s mask is my sleep paralysis demon

Curious to see what you guys would think of their song chapeltown rag

you boys GOTTA do Psychosocial or Disasterpiece next!

Dang! I thought you were gonna do episode 666 by in flames. You mentioned it in your last video. But this was another good one.

From what I gather from barely reading the lyrics and just listening, it’s definitely about everyone supposedly dying alone

Havent been here in a long time but damn gauges skin got a lot better

Awesome videos! You all should check out “I see everything”, “Edward Benz 27 times”, “king park”, or “first reactions after falling through the ice” all by the band La Dispute!

I’m surprised you didn’t do Yen. That song is unique even for Slipknot

I think if you look at world events, over the last few years. I hear frustration at society. I hear frustration with world leaders. Interesting vocals from Taylor, loved the solos, and Clown clearly had fun directing the video.

Their other Single "Yen" is sort of a followup to this song so you might wanna check that one out

honestly this is exactly the interpretation i got as well its calling out chronically online twitter users that complain about everything but do nothing

“Not I” by Demon Hunter is a great song!

It seems to be about personal rebirth - ego death, etc.

Good analysis of both of you 👍😘I like this song more and more, be sure to listen to 'Yen' so specially good 👌👌🤘🤘

I have a song request! Lord of This World by Black Sabbath, it is a song that deals with the idea of keeping faith while your peers around you reject Christianity.

I love you're outlook on everything and how you can respect the music regardless of the ideologies behind it. I listen to alot of Death metal and am not interested to supporting anything satanic or evil in that matter so it would be awesome to hear you react to more Death metal and maybe more deathcore like Paleface as their lyrics are very dark but want to hear your opinion on them

Been a hardcore maggot since day one back in 99. I can’t believe that was 23 years ago. I’m old

Very interesting video, you nailed the lyric analysis! Could you check out the band "Becoming the Archetype", theyre a christian death metal band that made a combeback after 10 years. "The Lost Colony" / "The Dead World" are great songs!

NOT INSULTING IN ANY WAY, BUT THE SHAPE OF PASTOR'S "MELON" (CRANIUM) + BEARD REMINDS ME OF THE CAESAR'S PUPPY FOOD MASCOT 🙂👍 ITS ADORABLE

Suggestions for songs I think you guys would get a kick out of is off of the new Five Finger Death Punch album Afterlife is either "IOU" or "The Vengeful One" by Disturbed from Immortalized.

Pastor Rob hitting that stank face🤘🏼

ABR is the only band I liked growing up that didn't flip the script as they got older. Those dudes just keep screaming and playing like crazy. Can't wait for alex varkatzas to release something with dead icarus.

Still waiting on Oh, Sleeper reaction! :D Preferably "In the Wake of Pigs" or "Children of Fire" The whole Children of Fire album is beautiful though with every song having huge meanings.

Where you guys at? 😢 Hope everything okay! 🤙🏽

I would love to see his take on The Oath by mercyful fate

War of Ages Collapse is a great christian metal song

Listen to mudvayne - nothing to gein. This is about serial killer Ed Gein. In the early 1940s, his mother, father, and brother all died, leaving Gein isolated on their farm in Wisconsin. He began digging up corpses of women who had recently died, and eventually moved on to murder, killing at least two women between 1954-1957.

You guys pretty much nailed it when it comes to the song meaning. This is what Corey said about it: To me, it just seems like it’s all the outrage and none of the punishment,” he began. "For the last few years it’s been very trendy to be offended and outraged by everything, and yet nothing happens - especially in my country, which is just fucking ridiculous. It’s almost like the tables have turned, and the more angry people get, the more the people who they’re mad at just double-down on the shit." "Instead of there being cause and effect, or crime and punishment, now it’s just like, ‘Fuck you, we don’t care,'" he continued. "And it’s almost like people are ringing the doomsday bell. You’re sitting there going, ‘Well, it’s been fun! Everybody, pick up your trash when you’re leaving, and I’ll see you in Hell!’ That’s kind of what that song is. It’s just like, ‘If we don’t figure it out, I’ll see you when the meteor hits, basically.’”

I can already see guage with a massive beard in a few years like yours lol sooo I know I've been requesting Whitechapel butttttt a new song dropped from Chelsea Grin and I'd like to hear your take on it of course. The song is Orgin of Sin by Chelsea Grin 🤘

The end is symbolic of the band saying good bye to there last masks. They always choose and wear new asks with each album release

now you guys gotta do their new song Yen

A couple songs I would love to get your take on, NF- Story, Bad Omens - Dethrone, Rise Against - Hero of War

Amen Pastor hope you are well please do a reaction to lowlife - deadweight lyric video

Rip Joey!!

I'm glad you guys are back but don't know these latest songs.. How about a current view looking back at the PMRCs 'Filthy 15' that caused hysteria back in the 80s? Curious if all 15 would still be bad to you guys since I think some were pretty lame on that list

y'all have to check out Paternal Failure by Crowmouth, such a heavy hitter with a seriously tragic backstory, god bless

What if a Muslim came up to you during a dispute and said "here's the Quran, it's a neutral source of truth" ?

I would love for yall to react to Once Upon a Cross By Deicide

His mask is based on the Nightbeeed movie

you should check out Otep's "Cross Contamination"

Hello there, greetings from Chile !!! What Robert said con minute 20:00 on the thoughts i got from "The patient " By Tool. If possible, you could react to that. Even though i don't particularly agree with you, I enjoy hearing the perspective from which you see the world.

The song you are thinking of when they destroy the house it’s called DUALITY great song

The “put your hands into the water, Let your mouth go sick and dry “I took it as you need water to sustain you but all they’re doing is washing their hands of the situation

What is that you say? It's fucking Jay killing it on the drums Joey would be proud

I'd love to see you guys do Leonard Cohen - "You Want It Darker."

I'd love to see you guys react to Chelsea Grin's new song 'Origin Of Sin'. Very interesting song, I highly recommend it.

My buddy made the masks the people in the background in the beginning of the song

I knew right from Gage's description of the song that he couldn't remember the name of. Duality

Hi guys. Still would like to see u guys react to Fear Factory and the song Christploitation. Please and thank you.

You guys should react to immaculate misconception by motionless in white it’s a really good song with a very strong meaning, to understand it more you should read the description first before you listen to it.

Please do Behemoth's "blow your trumpets Gabriel"

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure that there is slight auto-tune on the into and in the chorus.

Here's some songs I think you guys would love to check out Layers of Time by Lacuna Coil America by Motionless in White Cyberhex by Motionless in White Red Cold River by Breaking Benjamin Shotgun Blues by Volbeat

Great video! Could you do a reaction to Dear God by Dax?

Great video! You should revieuw of the new megadeth songs.

Should definitely check out Gemini syndrome and bad omens
