Slipknot Self Titled Album (Reaction With Timestamps) 

Follow me: instagram.com/kw1ll1s/

The drummer sadly passed last year.. he def needed a pay raise though you right 😂

This album created some of today’s greatest screaming rapper. Guys like Jasiah, Scarlxrd, Nascar Aloe, Zilla kami(who has been featured in the singer’s music video before), Ghostemane, The Suicide Boys, and Even X himself are the aftermath of this album. Slipknot truly hasn’t gotten the treatment it deserves in the rap and hip hop genre

Not gonna lie seeing the smile on his face brings me back to the first time I ever heard these songs and it brings me so much joy seeing him enjoy this music the same way I did

You have to continue on your Slipknot journey. Trust me, they never run out of ideas. Only Slipknot would write a section in a song like Scissors, which is supposed to be spurred on as a singalong. It’s like “We’ve all been in that place in our life where misanthropy and depression intertwine into something grotesque. So why not let it all out together?” As you said, this album isn’t just angry. It’s not one-dimensional. It’s very raw, very human. It’s crass, it’s unapologetic, a bit melodramatic… but isn’t that all human?

Listening to Slipknot actually saved my life multiple times and got me through some rough years of bullying, suicidal thoughts and depression... So happy to see someone enjoy their early music in 2022

After listening to Scissors more than 20 times during the last month or two, I can tell you it really grows on you (if you like the psychotic, chaotic side of Slipknot). It has become my favourite Slipknot song somehow, and I've heard 99% of their songs.

I'm loving the reactions

They are on tour. You need to see them. I've seen them live twice and it was amazing both times. Definitely worth the experience

My favorite reaction video ever. Finally someone who likes digging into the music

Just a note, Slipknots vocalist Corey Taylor has done a song with Tech N9ne. Oh, and take a listen to Korns Life is Peachy album, its amazing!

I feel that Scissors is one of the Slipknot songs that people have a hard time getting if that makes sense, from what I’ve heard and read it’s about a guy getting rejected by a girl he really likes so he slowly cuts himself up with scissors waiting for the right time to kill himself

"I'm imagining Micheal Myers dancing around like a ballerina with a knife in his hands " fucking love that lol nice to see a RU-vidr review the whole album , love this ! I will never get bored of this album , first album I ever bought

Finally i get to see reaction of someone who understand the music, the art and who is open minded. I think that this album is brilliant but also not for anybody as it gets kind of brutal. Love your reaction and I suggest watching music videos bcs you are missing one big thing about slipknot which are the masks and the performance. (Sry for bad english I am not native speaker s.o from slovakia)

You are not trippin, it was a scratch from #0 Sid Wilson aka DJ Starscream

This is my favorite self titled reaction on the entire internet. You are THEE only person discovering this album today who gets it, who knows what they were doing. You are 11yr old me discovering this album as a young metal head, days after it dropped on the world like a planet sized anvil. There will never be this slipknot again, it’s a good and bad thing, because they gave every ounce of them selves to become the mammoth they are now, but everything after Iowa will only be a void filler that never quite satisfies. You will always come back to this album, even in 20 years this album will still hit as hard as it did today for you. This was my gateway drug to much heavier and way more brutal metal, but even the heaviest thing today some how doesn’t stand up to the energy and reality of this 9 member band In masks and jumpsuits holding fire in their hands knowing what they were about to do. And believe me they knew. It even sounds good 8-bit ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ckCrkuh9_GQ.html

I think the reason I like these reactions so much is its exciting to see someone hearing them for the first time. I want to re-capture how I felt as a high school kid and having my mind blown. Then seeing them in a small venue, which will likely never happen again, and experiencing the absolute chaos that was the early Slipknot concerts. Its a pleasure to see someone's first time with the band. I said it in another comment, but be sure you see them live. It seems to be intimidating to some reaction channels, I promise you everyone will be cool there. It looks like a bunch of violent crazy people but 99% of the people there are the kind who would pick you up if you fall. If you're truly worried, stay in the back, just go see them. Its an experience.

His mood gets lower and lower the more he listens to this album xD. I felt like that too, but the more i listened to the second half of the album the more i appreciated songs like no life, scissors or eeyore

i was feeling sad before I watched this, but while watching you react to this incredible album your energy just instantly cheered me up. thanks for being such a cool person!

had a good time listening with you. this has kinda reawakend my love for the selftilted album, it's aesthetic is just so great.

Enjoyed the reaction!!

Dude I enjoyed this reaction so much I’m so passionate about this band about this album about each and every one of these songs they mean a lot to me too many heart shaking memories listening to these songs I enjoyed everything you’ve said about theses songs I can apply everything I’ve ever done to this album the good ole days and not gonna lie im still currently watching and I’m just waiting for you to get to the song scissors 😬😁

Dude its unfortunate that this didn't have frail limb nursery and purity. It was taken off the album for a short time and the album was re-released without it and instead they added the song me inside. Still great reaction. I had just turned eighteen when this came out and it seriously blew my mind. I've been a maggot ever since. Def should do vol 3 and on but really everything after Iowa has a more polished sound and a little less of the dark industrial sound but I still love it.

The story behind eyeless is Corey Taylor saw a homeless man say you can’t see California without marlon brando’s eyes marlon Brando of the god father Corey thought it was cool and decided to write lyrics for something with that sentence and that’s how eyeless came to be

Can't pause so much, u miss the feeling a song gives you when a drop hits or a beat changes..

I was hoping you did this one! Great reaction

I can already tell by watching this video alone... Ur reactions are gonna go far man. Keep it up🤟🤟

Brings back memories man, damn I love this album.

I'm hella late but Corey Taylor was and still is in a band called Stone Sour which was banded in 1994. His voice has developed a lot over the years, but he still sounds amazing. The story is is that a couple of the band members (forgot which ones) asked Corey to join Slipknot while he was at a gas station. Corey who was tired of being homeless and working at a sex shop joined because why not? They have three demos they released in 1997 before they dropped this album. The raw emotion and anger Corey puts in the songs are incredible. He's extremely talented. Love Slipknot.

que chingona reacción bro, keep it up

Awesome reaction, my fav is Eyeless, you should check out a live of that, London 2002 or Download 09. Next Vol 3 reaction!!!

01:01:26 - hahahah your comparison is great and also I've watched your entire video, really liked that you showed your song. It is great, keep on working man 👍✨ and try to enjoy your day :p

I love the fact u enjoy self titled... Thanks for the open mind

Most real reaction i have seen. I sub now.

Hi I'm Timmy and I really dig your reactions of full albums. I'm here to request a full Dog Fashion Disco album reaction and I wasn't sure which album to start you on but I think I have found the perfect intro album. That album is Sweet Nothings.. I'm picking this album because I feel it really shows the bands versatility. I believe this album shows they can do it all and cant exactly be pegged as any specific genre of music. Online they are described as an experimental avant-garde alternative funk metal band. I do hope you start with Sweet Nothings. I believe you will in fact fall in love with this band. I hope maybe it can come soon. I understand lots of people make many requests but I think it would be an incredible thing for you to do for music by reviewing a band that isn't already extremely huge in the scene. You can actually have an impact and help in growing an incredible band. I think it would show a lot about your character to do something like that. I would find it quite noble and a great way to show your true love for music.

Diluted is definitely my favorite from the band, and for the exact reason you said, I started to hear it in the worst period of my life, I was so fucked up I was hospitalized in a mental hospital multiple times, I would hear diluted and tattered and torn non stop and I swear they saved me, because I barely got out alive from that shit and those songs helped me and still help to deal with those traumas, damn diluted is literally everything I was feeling, every single line, it's something surreal, I can feel it again just by listening to the song, the fear, the pressure, it's stained all over the song

I agree, this is my favourite album. I love a few songs of Iowa, but this album as a whole just does not miss. Nice reaction pal

Quickest Sub I've ever done. I cannot wait to sit through Iowa with you. 🤙🏻

Awesome reaction man!

I got this album so early on when it came out, and it just blew me away.

Scissor is my fav song, but i totally understand why you dont like it, and it's exactly why i like it. Awesome video, keep it up with the great work💞💞💞

GOOD REACTION U EARNED A SUB AND KEEP GOING UR SUPER UNDERRATED

Your listen through if this really made remember why I love this album. Haven't listened to it in years. And I liked you analysis. It wasn't frivolous or disingenuous. Much better than other reactions that are so banal. And I like your song at the end to, man. I'll be watching more you. You earned a sub. Take care man. Josh in Abq.

all 9 of those guys are awesome, and they've been doing this since their 20's and boy has time flown.

I love the beginning of Spit it out, you didn't need any word, just slide from the beginning again with a guilty pleasured smile XD

I love your videos

There is one more song that didn’t exist in the album due to copyright manners.It’s called “Purity”

Nice reaction, i think you will really like their 3rd album

I was in 6th grade mid 2000s and on the school bus there was an 8th grader named Tiffany that gave me a burned copy of this album and i think it was honestly one of the biggest moments that shaped the rest of my life lol i love this album

Great reaction video man!

this album was such a big part of my life when it came out. seeing them at Ozzfest on tour for this was mind blowing been a huge fan ever since. Met Corey and Clown on thier tourbus hangin out after a show they did a cpl days later in Memphis , and hung out on Beale St. with Jim Root for a bit, just walkin around after they played their show. I have some great pics from that ..what a time to be alive lol, i wanna go back

I think you might really enjoy Loathe, they're a pretty new English band and I think you might really enjoy the melodic elements mixed with the heavy aspects :) Nice reaction

Love this album start to finish.

Nice. Loved it. I actually decided to listen to your reaction instead of my music while working on changing out an engine in my sons car. Dude., Slipknot is touring all over the us and Canada. They still play a few of these tracks live. You need to go to a concert if you can. It’s the best metal concert you could ever attend. It’s amazing. Google Knotfest roadshow. Been there done that but maybe I’ll see you in may. I’m going again.🤘🤘 subbed

Rip Joey and Paul Great reaction BTW 👍 Also 37:18 you get it completely (at least in my opinion)

I remember when they played surfacing live, everyone was moshing and had their middle fingers in the air screaming, I saw them preform in October last year and it was amazing. Songs from every album which was amazing, I got to be in the mosh pit up front and everyone was going hard(I’m 15) best experience of my life and wanna go again soon, wait and bleed is the first song I had ever heard and is my favorite of all time , it’s the song that got me on them.

Slipknot normally used 2-3 vocal layers for Corey (lead singer), but on some where it sounds deeper + fuller (like at the second “verse” towards the end of Spit it Out, or ending of Sic, or the deeper screams of Tattered & Torn) that’s Chris and Clown’s vocals in addition. So sometimes 4-5 vocals of cleans, lows, highs, screams, singing all conjoined together. And of course sometimes it’s just Corey like in Me Inside towards the beginning. Slipknot also does have a DJ, Sid (gas mask). And Craig who adds even more depth and heaviness through sound affects and recordings. Edit: Been listening to Slipknot for almost a decade. I think you’ll like .5 The Grey Chapter by them- just note the bassist and drummer are different on that album. Also in this album they used a lot of movies to dictate some songs, like Prosthetics is I think The Collector. Eeyore also is about a fan they all hated in the pit, and the lyrics at the end don’t catch Corey yelling at Joey to “Joey fucking stop!” which you can hear.

cool reaction bro🤜🤛

Great video mate, earned a sub 👌

Great reaction bro, you got yourself a new sub! Keep being awesome!!

I watched that video for the pleasure to re listen to this masterpiece

Oh man, I see so many people reacting to the third album onward, but no one ever does self titled or Iowa. Glad I found this!

Purity and Get This it's missing, purity it was banned but i don't know the reason why Get This it's not here

This album hits hard, but in an interview Corey said that from ‘99 to ‘02 he would scream so raw that he would cough up blood and couldn’t talk for a week and a half after shows and recording sessions, so just so you know all that heavy excessive screaming costed him his voice

The later parts of Scissors was often improvised. When they'd play it live, he would just make something up that night, or whatever he was feeling would come out. They often would be lighting each other on fire on stage during this song haha. Eeyore was a hidden track after Scissors initially and then there was the other hidden track of them watching scat porn at the end of that. This album is truly front loaded. Thankfully, they still play the first 5 songs live regularly.

I agree about the album being great for Halloween! In 2016, I went to a local haunted house attraction and one section of it was this maze full of blacklights, neon, and 3D effects, including scare actors dressed as psychotic clowns splattered in blacklight paint, and “Tattered & Torn” was playing in the room when I walked through. It fit the atmosphere perfectly I can understand not liking “Scissors”. It took me a while to like it. I believe the song is about self harm and it’s deeply personal. It’s meant to be the proper finale of the album, while Eeyore is a hidden track bonus. Eeyore is basically a diss track to a guy who would go to their concerts and be super violent to other fans (including hitting women), so that’s why Corey is so angry on the track. About the trap metal inspiration, you’re spot on. Zillakami has even covered “Eyeless” live a few times.

Fun and interesting fact, there was a song they originally were going to add on this album after tattered and torn called "purity" but due to copyright issues they never added this song onto the album, the song is based on a urban legend where the lead singer Corey Taylor was into mystery that time. They just released this song on the 10th anniversery slipknot album and you'll be able to find the song there Great album reaction btw! As a slipknot fan the self titled album is one of my favorites! Along with Iowa, & Vol. 3 subliminal versus

Awesome, enjoyed this reaction to it. R.I.P Paul Gray, *ex-bassist, 1995 - 2010*, (1972 - 2010) R.I.P Joey Jordison, *ex-drummer, 1995 - 2013*, (1975 - 2021) Also, this is the first video I've watched by you. I have no idea if you know how to metal scream. Basically all vocalist use Screaming Techniques like: False Cord (which is used by Corey Taylor and etc.), Fry Scream and etc. Corey only used his throat and added distortion to it from his throat which can damage your vocals, He did this from 1997 - 2002 after blowing his voice out too much. Thanks for making this reaction btw, hella fun to watch! :)

THE WHOLE THING I THINK IS SICK!

Fuck you're lucky! I would love to hear all Slipknot songs for the first time again. Back in '00 I had my walkman, my headphones and Slipknot. I got like 85% of my school digging Slipknot. It was great. I miss those days man.

I saw slipknot in 99 on ozzfest side stage when this album came out and yes that's a dj u are hearing

1:13:30 it’s cuz scissors and Eeyore were originally one 20 minute long song with Eeyore being at the end as a hidden track. And in between the two songs was a clip of the band reacting to a scat p*rn. Was then later split into two tracks of just the scissors and Eeyore parts Just some lore of my two favorite slipknot songs in existence 🤍❤🤍

nice video man!

The intro is nasty especially the tapping part I don’t know what part of the drum kit but dammmm

I know this was posted quite some time ago, so I don't expect this to be read, But my personal take on scissors is that it's the musical embodiment of addiction and the pure self hatred that goes into slowly killing yourself with severe substances ( Corey Taylor was horribly addicted to Alcohol ) and your statement of meditation and the repeating of phrases to build it in your head adds onto it ( Biding my time until my time is right ) Plotting your eventual end, till eventually you give in to the thoughts

Congrats 9n 696 subscribers

😊love your reactions to the great lyrics, and the music, i feel the same to many of your reaction and comments 🤘wait and bleed😁 i got into metallica & megadeth in high school in the early '90s, then Pantera during their rule of the '90s.(Black Sabbath, Judas Priest,etc. nobody's peak lasts forever)...so...I was so glad when Slipknot came along 🙏 no way to know if people's taste in music overlaps at all. Maybe some to check out sometime : Prong, 'Cleansing' album, and one of favs, Testament, especially e'thing on albums "Low" & "The Gathering" . ✌peace (can't go wrong with anything Slipknot)

Yeah man, you have to listen to Vol. 3 now. Especially if you like the melodic / heavier sound. It’s a perfect blend.

you gotta do frail limb nursery and purity. frail limb was that bit at the end of tattered and torn.

still can’t believe this was their DEBUT album like what the fuck were they on

i saw slipknot live 2016 in Leipzig germany that was my first time.....what an amazing show circlepits allover the place...and a childhooddream became true

Seen this folks live 2019 and in 2021. You gotta check em live.

definitely watch some live vids from this era g especially iowa it’s crazy af

yo room a whole vibe

Purity and Get this are amazing. You have to check out.

you song at the end is pretty cool, you should add links in the descriptions to your albums (im not from USA so maybe i mess it up for don't know who you are, but i'm pretty sure i'm not the only one)

"Their albums are always a roller coaster of emotions" this kid gets it

bro you for real need to react to sevendust, one of the first 3 albums, that band is amazing in every way.

This is my album to drive home angry from work, to

The only thing I know for sure about layering in slipknot is that the vocals for the track Iowa were recorded in only 2 or 3 takes. Corey was bleeding and crying through most of the whole session, there’s an interview with Shawn Crahan where he mentions it a little

I think Scissors is about a relation between a drug user and the drug itself, parts where it says lines like “you want it, you need it” is what whatever the drug is communicating in a way and lines like “the candid heart tube that I selected” (choice of drug) show that a little bit and near there end and there’s lines like “I don’t need you any more” and “I want to die” is the effect of using so long

There's a 10th anniversary edition of this album with a few more songs. You should look into it there's a couple bangers.

The fucks at the end of eeyore is Corey’s mental breakdown

should've pulled up genius with it, the about section with slipknot songs perfectly explains the meaning of each and every single song. wait and bleed (your favorite, also mine) has a sad but beautiful meaning

At 18:30, yes it was indeed a scratch. They had a dj guy in the band with a turntable lol.

I saw Slipknot for the first time in November and will see them again in March. Slipknot has been my favorite band for years now and I've gone through phases of being obsessed with them. But when they perform songs from this album it just feels different, especially Surfacing. When they perform Surfacing Corey says "this is your new national fucking anthem!" and then tells everyone to stick their middle fingers in the air for the song...it just hits different man. Also Spit It Out is it's own experience live, you should react to Spit it Out live at download 2009 if you wanna see what I mean. also it is dj scratching you are hearing throughout the album. they have a dj in the band, Sid Wilson #0.

I saw them 18 yrs ago in Budapest (Hungary). It was the best concert of my life.

Bro! Your deep "burn" growl you did at around 22:25 wasn't half bad dude. just know, your voicebox is a muscle. Exercise makes it stronger and it'll become easier to do. But if it hurts, or its straining, step back, you might be doing it wrong. It should never hurt.

I actually saw them in philly 1998 right before they exploded on the ozzfest tour. Famous downtown club called Electric Factory. They played every song on the album🤘🤘🤘

You should lisen purity too, it is in this same álbum I dont know why you didint react it but is fire!! Good video btw
