Slipknot - Left Behind | Singer Reacts | 

Corey's voice on iowa was fucking bruuuuutal

Slipknot was at their peak when Joey and Paul were still around.

I think I mentioned this before but one common trope in Slipknot videos is people going underground. In their videos it symbolizes burying the past, specifically something related to the person who is going underground. This song is about Corey's time living on the streets after dropping out of high school and all the people he met and formed connections with who he let slip away after the band got signed. So it is full of regret and remorse, but rather than do something about it, he would rather just bury it and move on. Which is how many people deal with things but at the same time they fail to realize how it effects the people on the other side of the equation, or they simply no longer care about those people. If you haven't heard it yet try "Scissors". It is a Maggot fan-favorite and considered a hidden gem of a Slipknot song. It is super-raw and rage-filled. It doesn't follow any common song structure either.

Corey has said this song was inspired by a period of time when he was homeless.

Shawn's best mask imo.

FYI - this music video for 'Left behind' was 1 of 2 versions made... This one was aired on MTV. The second version had a different ending w/ the boy shown back at his job putting on a meat display w/ the tag "Goat meat"... and smiling ominously... This was a huge single for Slipknot back in 2001 for their 2nd album 'Iowa'... I can't believe it has been 20+ years since! The late Paul Gray (bass) and Joey Jordison (drums) were in the band... and sadly now, Chris Fehn (percussion) and Craig Jones (keyboard/ samples) are both out of Slipknot and we got 5 of the original 9.

You're down a spiral of metalheads recommending about 100 iconic and famous songs, plus 100 underrated more and I'm here for it.

My favourite slipknot song. Love this band, I have since high school. Rip Joey. Best drummer ever

actually there's another version where that kid goes to hide at a basement and covers his face with goat's blood

Everytime I hear this track I’m taken back 20+years to my childhood. Such a banger, shame their edge has now been dulled.

No joke I worked at a meat market when I was 16-18. Saw this on MTV and loved it lol.

SURFACING by SLIPKNOT

Your channel has become one of my favorites not only bc you are beautiful and cover all kinds of music but mainly bc ur humor and vibe! just subscribed! And Goats are always SUS😂

0:34 that face is pure gold 🤣🤣 You're adorable.

Love everything about this song. The lyrics, the video, the masks, the riff, everything is perfection.

Great reaction this song by slipknot is one of my favourites from the band's album iowa the music video is disturbingly creepy & unhinged this song still slaps the first time i heard it back in 2001 & never gets old keep the reactions coming well done.🙂❤🤘🔥

Old testament Corey Taylor's voice is just brutally beautiful

LEFT BEHIND was the first video I've seen of these guys back in 2001 or so, was just zapping, landed at MTV and there it was!

There is no better song to start church Sunday.😅😅😅

That is a thrilling song, just love it

Its nice to see someone react to the OG music video. I remember seeing this on Rage I think it was, on tv.

Them at their best

Claramente era otro Slipknot, antes de ser una empresa, gran video

I saw this in mtv and mom looked me and said they got your back ❤❤❤

The best time of Slipknot!!!! RIP Joey

Great pick Ray, one of my favorite jams by Slipknot. Definitely demonic and serial killers vibes. 😅 lol and who knows what happened to The Boy. lol 🖤

They always have different jumpsuits/outfits for each different album cycle.

the first time I heard this song was when I was in middle school.. and it immediately blew me away.. thank you for giving me a little flashback memory..

Love Slipknot!!

I find it endearing that she calls him Shawn and not Clown.

Another amazing reaction Ray :D I love your channel

this is my absolute favorite song out of all of them, at least on my top three fs

Disasterpiece - london 2002 please!!

My fav slipknot song

Classic banger

The Pretender by Foo Fighters! You won’t regret ittttttt

This song isn’t about a murderer, its a song about Corey Taylor when he was homeless. He had made relationships with people that he would soon have to Leave behind.

"Purity" is ace, the start is fantastic

Iowa is my favorite album of theirs

Awesome ! 😊

"this is a reaction video, but you'll see why i said villanous because this is the first time i saw this video, but also I know this video"

My fav slip knot song

The opening riffs in this song sound downright evil. I think the only other song of theirs that has similarly wicked sounding riffs is "The Devil in I"

React to slipknot - people = sh*t live 2002

Iowa is the best record of this band!!!

now do People = Shit :) It's obviously a very friendly song.

Unhinged is a good word to use to discribe this band throughout the making and touring for this album. Believe it or not, this is one of the tamer songs on it. They were all pretty messed up in a lot of ways at the time of the making of this album. If you want a glimpse into a bit of Corey's childhood and how messed up it was, Metabolic off the same album. Also my favorite track and the one I relate to the best.

Sussily is now a word? Nice. Gonna use it

My favorite band 😍🤘🏼🔥

"Scissors" by Slipknot next please! It's from their Self-Titled album and it's an intense rollercoaster of emotions. It may seem long but it is WORTH it. My favourite Slipknot song and I've heard all of their tracks. Studio version please.

Eyeless - Slipknot please

I love Slipknot forever coz they inspired me how to play metal on guitar and how to drop tuning 😁 but anyway, youre gorgeous☺ from philippines .

You could react to the song Gently live in London 2002.

You should check out the unseen scream it out

Sugests: 1. Wait and bleed, Slipknot 2. My plague, Slipknot 3. She couldn't, Linkin Park 4. My Last breath, Evanescence 5. When Darkness falls, Killswitch engage 6. Falling away from me, Korn 7. Yall want a single say fuck that, Korn

It's actually about when he lived on the streets

о! ОПЯТЬ сЛИПНОТ!)) Класс, люблю тебя;)

Hey Ray love your reactions! I think you will love Corey's vocal in The devil and I the live version from knotfest 2014❤you won't be disappointed!

Can you react to the song "solway firth"? I would like to see your reaction, that is one of the best slipknot songs ever! Greetings

One of slipknots mainstream song, a mellow and a soft one

I can attest first hand that the opening guitar line is trickier than it sounds lol

OMG😮

more reaction to Slipknot!!!!

Whenever I hear the word "goat" I think of Wayne Gretzky. Can´t help it.

Iowa came out before you were even born

Everyone is eagerly waiting for you to enter the System of a Down universe, Rach. Will happen? :D

Slipknot 🖤🇧🇷🤘🏻

❤❤❤

Idol

there was a different ending with that guy in the basement holding some sharp stick

Fun fact. The little boy is Timothee Chalamat.

Definitely pissed off villain vibes. As I commented below on the question about the goat(s) - Getting someone's goat is an old saying from farmers. If you get someone's goat that means you took something worth something big to a person that has messed with you. Like literally stealing a goat from the shitty neighbor's farm and costing them what makes them money, for example. That's what the visual of all the goats mean on IOWA.

SLIPKNOT...🔥🔥🔥🤘🤘 You guys fuckin rock and are bad fucking ass🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥Love your music straight sick with it🤘🤘

❤❤❤ 🤟

A lot of the video is extremely metaphorical for example at the end the kids still The Rock in the window he's had enough he's going to the seller because the storm is coming, his anger his rage is the storm and what do you do when a storm comes you hide.

If you really wanna hear a villianous song, I highly siggest you listen to Virus Of Life by Slipknot! Youre gonna love it

Comments on the villianous vibes/serial killer origin of the kid from the butcher shop. Doesn't seem to notice that it was the kid's 'first victim' that opened hostilities by throwing a rock at the kid through the window of the kid's house; the wreck of a home, that was probably wonderful in its prime, which the kid does his best to support with the job at the butcher shop, in a society that obviously feels no qualms about a kid working in a butcher shop to support himself. Or perhaps the butcher is his legal guardian and is capitalizing on the free labor he can extort from his ward, the whole time dreading the kid's talent and passion for the bloody work. But he does it for free, so why consider the kid's mental state when he's an enthusiastic, profit-boosting slave? I'm of the opinion that there aren't _any_ good guys in this story, but some of these guys are worse than the others. On many levels. Lyrically, you have the scattered thoughts of a grieving, paranoid, isolated soul warning the insentient seeming monsters around him that his boundaries _are_ inviolate, defense _will_ be swift, and that they are advised to adjust their engagement ranges accordingly. The image of Slipknot: _Are_ they monsters? Or do they _present_ as monsters to keep the true monsters from realizing they are prey? Answer that question honestly, dear reader. Know you are also not maskless. And in the performance scenes, you see that the goats are all fairly calm despite the madness going on around them, and I have to conclude that it probably wasn't all that loud when the goats were on set, and that they had rehearsed with the goats, in costume and fake rain, for a week or two before filming so that all the active nervous systems present would get used to the lunacy.

Corey said this songs about a time when Corey was homeless

This is my favorite slipknot song then 666 🤘🏼

you HAVE to see "Eyeless"

Surfacing by slipknot and Southtown by POd

Today’s video is brought to you by the word “sus”

You should react to “from can’t to can” his voice will blow your mind

Anthem of a generation. We all got left behind…

Great reaction! Pls react to Dead memories by slipknot

A Behemoth reaction would be fun.

Im noe a vocalist or singing coach, but as a fans of Slipknot, yes i do feel relate because i too sometimes want to focus on one aspect (vocal, drum or guitar/bass) yet the music video keeps getting me sidetracked somehow 🤣

🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻🤟🏻

Try with Gently,nameless or metabolic

The video has an extended version. I think

Would love to see your reaction to Amaranthe

Still no reaction to Saltatio Mortis x Blind Guardian - Finsterwacht? You are missing out on this Raychel.

Sugestion Slipknot Gehenna song underrated

If you want a creepy/weird Slipknot piece then you should react to The Virus Of Life

Killswitch Engage - Rose of Sharyn

The Negative One , Custer or Eeyore any of that song nxt pleaaase 🤘😁

The brutality of Heretic Anthem on Conan Obrien.
