Rappers React To Slipknot "Sulfur"!!! 

Chemistry Teacher: Sulfur is not metal Slipknot:

From what I know, Joey was kicked out as they thought that he was on drugs however he had a spinal issue which affected his playing especially his feet movement so he was unable to play drums for a while afterwards but he recovered and started his own band after.

The drumming in this one has always been a favorite.

Surfacing or heretic anthem this Saturday. You guys are killing it btw

Joey, no matter how hard or mild the song was, was a super "fluid" drummer. He just flowed & floated around his kit making it look simple! 🤘🏼🥁🤘🏼

Apparently In his final days with the knot Joey had been playing a bit iffy yknow and sometimes he had to be carried off a stage The band thought he was on drugs and had later sent an email telling him about his departure. Both the band and Joey didn't know that he had an illness that affected his legs till later on

Joey got a rare disease that almost paralyzed him. The band had a misunderstanding that he was on drugs and kicked him from the band. But Joey recovered from the disease and went on to be in other bands (you should check those out by the way) and eventually forgave the band and had no bad blood towards them in the end.

one of thee best slipknot tunes

I "unofficially" vote for Joey. He has always been my favorite drummer for a reason....man was a beast! Still waiting on "The Heretic Anthem" ❤🤘 I see you fixing that badass jacket Hollywood. 😉

I agree with Smokey - I love those red jumpsuits

"Gematria (The Killing Name)". One of these days. I still have hope.

Check out, The Murderdolls, Joey’s side project

Yes!!. I am glad that you are exploring All Hope is Gone a bit more. Not only was the final effort of the original nine (after Paul died... Things got odd between them especially Corey and Joey). To this date, it's considered by many people as their weakest album (maybe because they went on full Death Metal mode) but it has some brutal songs like Gematria, All Hope is Gone, This Cold Black, and the Ballad, Child of Burning Time.

So when it first happened, all the band would say was that they had parted ways. Joey came out a few years later and stated that he was fired via email. Which (if accurate) I will agree was a pretty shit thing to do. Joey had developed Transverse myelitis which is a spinal disease that was affecting his legs. There were times he would have to be carried to stage and it was affecting his ability to play. At the time no one knew what was going on, not even Joey. However you have to think about the rest of the band's perspective: this was shortly after Paul died from an accidental drug overdose. To the band, it may have looked like Joey was also getting so messed up he couldn't perform. And they may have been right in thinking that cause (look it up, excessive drug use CAN CAUSE transverse myelitis, specifically, heroin.) In the song AOV (from the .5 album that was after Paul died and Joey left) Corey says "I won't watch another brother fucking die." So it's very likely the band thought he was having serious drug issues (and he may have been) and let him go to take the stress of the life off of him and he would get help. Either way it's a murky situation that no one really knows the full details of except those involved (Joey and the band).

Surfacing is our "UK" national anthem lol Great reaction guys slipknot Saturdays let's go!!!!

Jim Root w/ that quick, short video B4 the intro ( theme) song

I absolutely love this song, it was my favorite for the longest time, it's a great song compositionally but once you delve into the lyrics it becomes much deeper

Can never go wrong with any Slipknot 🔥🔥💯💯

FINALLY SULFUR LESGOOOOO

Yea man there's something different about slipknot drums when Joey was there. RIP King 💔

This song is my 11 yr old sons favorite Slipknot song. And with good reason. Great song. Great reaction guys. ❤️

Plz listen to circle....joey absolutely killed it in the end....brings tears to my eyes every time

This is my fav slipknot song. The drumming in this is phenomenal.

Songwriters: Jim Root and Joey Jordison

To be fair within the competition there are loads of Mastodon songs where Brann’s playing absolutely steals the show too. Listen to the song “ The Wolf is Loose” to understand to what degree he just powers a tune.

I believe his spinal issues was a main reason but i also heard a lot of blame placed on drugs (those 2 go hand in hand of course), and given they just lost Paul to an accidental overdose, they were in the position that they can't live someone elses life for them. I believe the guys got a ton of flak for "not doing enough" to help Paul

NXT has War Games now ... One of my fav Slipknot songs right here

The beat is the Pulse of the Maggots. About time to check that song out.

Also, PLEASE check out The Nameless. Fantastic dynamic performances from the entire band.

thank you for reacting to sulfur!!! this is my all time fav song from slipknot, and the drums by joey is actually my main reason that this song is my all time fav! iirc, this song was written by joey indeed, i might be wrong tho. love yall, keep up the amazing videos! you might wanna check out 'skeptic' or 'danger keep away (without the dash)"

This song really showcases Corey’s vocals. A great track to show someone who hasn’t heard Slipknot before to get them prepped for the rest!

FINALLY!! I’ve been asking for this one!! 🔥🤘🏻 Joey was suspected of drugs and there were also some other internal conflicts mostly between him and Corey after Paul’s passing. Eventually it was discovered about his spinal disease which he eventually lost his life to I believe, but yeah it was deeper than drugs

Great song. You want a banger off the same album that's kinda underrated is Gematria ( The killing Name).

They still do the matches with 2 rings in NXT. It's Wargames and was originally a gimmick from NWA/WCW. Dusty Rhodes came up with the idea.

i actually love sulfur smell after fireworks! lol

Joey had transverse myelitis and for some time had to stay in hospital, that's why he got kicked out. Still, he wasn't done, after Slipknot he played in several other bands. Anyway, main tragedy of Slipknot was mostly about Paul's death from overdose, Joey's departure just escalated things. And 2 of them were kinda main composers in the band, that's why their newer stuff sounds very different.

My favorite thing about Slipknot is they have so much going on but at the same time you can always hear it individually and how it all comes together!! Killing it guys! Do Nero Forte!!!

Sulfur has always been one of my favorites ever since I first heard it. All hope is gone is commonly disliked by some of the fans but it's my favorite album of theirs. It will always be special for the fact that it's the last album to have the OG lineup with Paul dying 2 years after and joey getting kicked out a few years after that. Joey had a disease/debilitation of sorts (transverse myelitis) that hurt his drum playing and the band thought he was still on drugs. They kicked him out as a result and didn't really approach him about it which made it sting. But Joey didn't have any ill will towards them after which is very good. Plus you guys really need to listen to "if you wanna breathe my sulfur" now after hearing the original. It's a Mashup of this and the spice Girls and its the best thing ever. And for one last thing, war games has come back in wwe. They have a brand called nxt that does them, they first brought it back in (I think) 2017 and have done a few since then. There's actually a war games show this Sunday, they do stuff on peacock for any US viewers. Glad they do it again because it's a fantastic match type.

10:35, it's almost as he takes over the band, "insight sml riot i feel. 💪✌️

This is definitely a live song! 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼

One of my first songs I heard by them and I been a fan ever since🔥🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤

Probably my fav slipknot song! Please please please check out Sepultura!! Brazilians Thrash metal. Incredible!!

Always with the knowledge guys y'all rock

Joey was fired because they thought he was on drugs. But he really had a neurological disease that finally killed him. I love Slipknot and I'm an official maggot myself. But they should feel like Sh*t for firing Joey before they really knew the truth. That's why you should never judge anyone until you know the whole story.

Always a class reaction from you two

This song is one of my faves from All Hope is Gone. Along with the title track and gemetria. Also, I definitely vote for Joey because he's not only the original, but the drumming on the self titled album and Iowa is beyond Amazing!! Not saying that Jay isnt good, he's amazing. But, I gotta go with Joey on this one. Maggot for life! 😁🤘🤘❤

fuck yeah, Sulfur action! this is one of my absolute favorites, right up there with Psychosocial and The Devil In I.

Always freaking loved Joey's performance in this song , just pure raw intensity and bad assery, of course he always had that every song lol but this song in particular my god he was on fire 🔥. And that slow intense guitar and bass riff during the double bass parts just chefs kiss . Seeing all of them headbanging simultaneously in this vid was always a joy to watch too lol 😆.

Slipknot did Joey dirty. When he was in the hospital fighting for his life, only one member came to visit him, when they all knew he was in there. While he was in there he got an e-mail that he was fired, they never gave him an explanation. Turns out it was an acute form of ms, but he recovered. Joey still spoke about them in a very loving way, saying he loved them, they are his brothers, he doesn’t hold a grudge and would love to come back. But they never spoke to him again, never reached out. Joey said that he still writes songs for Slipknot, that he saves just for them, just in case they ever wanted him back...its so sad because in the old days in all the interviews they spreak about being brothers. Joey was a founding member, he came up with the name Slipknot and he designed the logo himmself. Anyway I love your reactions and if you ever want to check out other music that Joey made check out Scar the Martyr Blood host, Vimic she sees everything, Sinsaenum final resolve. These were his bands after Slipknot. He was a true artist and never stopped creating even though he didn’t need to moneywise.

Jim Root has some Amazing Hair!!

WWE had the 2 ring game for their NXT brand PPV called Takeover Wargames. Adopted from WCW of course.

Joey was the best and for reason no1️⃣❤️.You should do more reaction to his drum cam.Heretic anthem and People=shit.London 2002. Thank you🤘

New Sylosis song Immovable Stone, go for it guys!

Perfect song for me, love it, I breathe very quickly after this song and the video top 👌👌👌Thanks 💋

They thought it was drugs but it actually was Transverse Myelitis, which a neurological condition very similar to Multiple Sclerosis. After he'd play he would have a hard time walking and they thought it was because he was fucked up. TM can make you paralyzed, sometimes you can recover with intense physical therapy. I've read a lot about it because I have MS myself.

Maggot for life ! Slipknot is the shiznit 💯 The drums in this sounds like a machine gun

For some reason it's an unpopular opinion, but this is my fave Corey mask. Awesome in it's simplicity. Goes with the album cycle perfectly.

We have a sulphur spring around where I live and my dad used to drink the water all the time when I was a kid, and he did say it was supposed to be good for you for whatever reason Edit: I could be wrong but it could've been missing studio time for recording, if you can imagine trying to get nine guys to record and how hard it would be with timing and availability

Darsow was also crusher krusev and repo man here for the wrestling talk and the reaction lol

Ya the drums on this are very kool I always thought!! Great song guys!🤓❤

BRO IM LOVING YOUR VIDEOS !!! MORE SLIPKNOT AND ALSO LAMB OF GOD PLS

He had a degenerative nerve disease which left him paralyzed essentially. They carried him to his kit the last few times he played for slipknot. Joey had to learn to walk again after a long time so the band wasnt left with much of a choice

You guys have to react to Wherein Lies Continue!!! Maggots for life!!

This video has all of the goods. SLIPKNOT, DEFTONES AND RUSH, with TOOL in the background...get a couple of girlies dancing in their underwear and it will be my favorite video on the internet. This song is still brutal. Every time I listen to it, it still kicks my ass.

This song is so incredible 🤘🏾!!!

Raises your blood pressure "Listener aggression is advised"

Joey being kicked was a tragedy of misunderstanding. The band thought he was getting uncontrollably wasted before performances as he couldn’t play at his previous pace and consistency. It turned out he had a degenerative disease that was affecting his coordination

Thing about sulfur is if you breathe it in, it can be very deadly

Fuck I love this song.

I'll love this song to the ends of time \m/

The last video with all the original members

R.I.P PAUL R.I.P JOEY

Are we going to keep getting Joey vs Jay comparison's every weekend? I feel like its two different styles. We shouldn't compare them in the end. Its different styles

one of their best song imo

HELLYEAH- You Wouldn't Know

Being rappers you need to check out Nameless. The way Corey and the other percussionist can't remember his name go back in forth just like rappers will. By far one of my favorites

You got to do Get This by Slipknot

Just pic one of your favorites from their back catalogue and watch a recent live performance to hear Jay’s interpretation.

So many Slipknot songs to choose from. If you're looking for something else, watch VAN HALEN ERUPTION LIVE WITHOUT A NET GUITAR SOLO

I will say this, and to the other maggots out there as well as i am, they have gone and said they all dunked them self in the liquid sulfer... and risked their own lives to let their fans feel the love!! No holdsbar!!! And you are more than able to correct me if im wrong... been a while since this came out, and have never heard any different... and i live in iowa!!

Actually WWE just started using war games again with NXT tonight was NXT war games

Yo man y'all should react to a different world Korn and Corey Taylor 😂😂✌️🤘🤘I love y'all

Am I Evil by Diamond Head 🤘🤘🤘

Yall should listen to wherein lies continue from slipknkt its off the same album.

Spiritbox Circle With Me one take reaction

🦋 It's Always Great Watching & Listening To Smokey & Hollywood's Commentary. And Given This Is Slipknot's Song ''Sulfur'' Another Example in My Opinion Would Be ''Matches'' Love This Song There Is Not Going To Be One Bad Reaction On Slipknot Because They All Are Great. Also Wanted To Say Even Though I Commented This During The A7x ''Critical Acclaim'' Reaction. I Must Say If You Both Want To Hear A Drummer While Also Doing Vocals''StoneKind'' Is Definately Worth A listen. The Album Spirit Of The Void Is An Entire Mind Trip. A 2 Man Band, With Melodic & Powerful Guitars Played By Davis Templeton & on Drums/Vocals Jeff Ayers Jr. From Winston, Salem North Carolina. Mixing A Heavy Progressive Rock Sound with a Distinct Stoner Rock Groove. They Offer Up A Haunting Sound. A Emotional Experience Marked By Skilled Handwriting & Outstanding Musicianship. That Deep Passionate Heavy Blues Delivery Reminds Me Of Bands Like Kyuss, Alice In Chains, Elder, Green Lung, & Of Course. The Added Tool Influence Within The Songs ''Spirit Of The Void'' , ''Untethered'', ''Swamp Stomp'', ''Behold The Stone'', &' A Killer Finale With ''Nomadic'', Which For Me Was ''Epic!'' Starting The Song In A pink Floyd/Tool Vibe Transitioning Into Bands Like Kyuss, Green Lung, Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath, I Can Hear So Many Bands Influence Within, Then It Takes You Back With That Tool Vibe Ending The Climactic Album With A Sabbath Riff. 'It Is A Fire Album'' Each Song On The Album Rides Into The Next. With Smooth Flowing Guitar Riffs & Hard Hitting Drums As Jeff's Vocals Reign In With Intensity. I Guarantee If Anyone Takes The Time To Check This Album Out You Most Likely Will Enjoy. Provided You Haven't Already Heard of Them. Or Just Don't Like That Kind Of Vibe. For Anyone Who Does, This Album Is For You! I recommend, To Turn up The Volume & Spend An Hour With No Distractions. Listening To This Fine Work Of Art From These 2 Badass Guys! (& some😉 incense) And Maybe A Future Reaction Hollywood & Smokey. 😏

Big ups to the brief Barry Darsow retrospective!

Interview I heard it was because of a health issue he had that eventually lead to his death

Joey was hands down fricken Amazing #1 always. But, you do realize there are several percussionists in this band right? Lol that's why the "drum sound" is so pronounced. ❤️🤘

Speaking of great drummer, check out Aquiles Priester playing through the fire and flames. Crazy good!

Yo, dude on the left, where’d you get your Deftones drip? It’s fly 🤘🏾

Surfacing, heretic anthem and metabolic. The lives at download 2009 or London 2002 are insane

Custer slipknot live version please 🤘🔥

RIP #1

Joey was going through issues with a cute transverse myelitis and at the time didn’t have use of his legs. No legs, no double bass, need new drummer. He rehabbed and played in other bands after but Shawn and Corey who are two of the sole owners of the band if you will had to find a replacement. Words were said, feelings were hurt, they moved on. Much like the situation with Chris Adler and Lamb Of God. He got in a motorcycle accident and had a long rehab to go through. Can’t tour, gatta have a replacement. It sucks but it has to happen now a days unless your mates don’t mind throwing away millions of dollars. I’m sure Joey would’ve made it back into the roster if he would’ve got healthy enough to perform at that leve again but he just didn’t have time.

Only slipknot can do that shit!!! maggots 4 life!!!I'm proud to be Pinoy....

WWE NXT still has War Games.

I apologize if this is the wrong place to do this, but I can’t figure out where else to contact you. I would love to see your reaction to: “Texas Flood” from Stevie Ray Vaughan Live at the El Mocambo. If you haven’t seen it, I strongly recommend you take the time.

🙏K-SB ❤️

And now Jay is fired. Crazy shit man. RIP Joey. 🤘🏽🤘🏽
