One of the best parts of Slipknot's debut was watching them perform this on Conan O'Brien. It was absolute madness. 9 guys in jumpsuits and masks thrashing around like crazy people on a tiny stage for an audience that had absolutely no clue what was happening. Pure chaos.
I'd love for him to hear their whole self titled album. Hopefully that'll happen one day or over time, if so I'll be here for all of it! :D 🤘 Great vid! Much love!
That was a great reaction, please don't let the live version be postponed for too long, it is indeed a must-watch! Also any Joey's drum cam lives would be appreciated, he truly was a writing and driving force behind most of Slipknot's early stuff (along with Paul of course), and watching him absolutely destroying the kit could not only be a cathartic experience, but also finally help align their visual image with the music for Judson. I understand the dissonance the masks may be bringing to him now though, it was like that for me too at first. Then I saw Joey and it gave me a whole new perspective of how to perceive those masks within the context of the talent behind them. And his talent and energy were nothing but huge (backed by the purest heart). Anyway, thank you guys for bringing us joy with your channel, I've binge watched all your videos recently and it brought me a great sense of relief and quickly became a safe place in not so easy circumstances of life.
Fun fact: Earlier this month, Forbes ranked Slipknot as one of the 10 greatest metal bands of all time, coming in at number 7, behind only Ozzy Osbourne, Judas Priest, Pantera, Iron Maiden, Black Sabbath and Metallica.
I bought those first 3 Slipknot albums. The 3rd being my favorite. There's a lot more rapping in the first Slipknot album. Which I didn't hold against it.. But Slipknot did turn the Metal world on it's ear in 1999. Us Metal heads truly appreciate that. Good choice Richard and Judson. Still killing it.
Judson: just trying to play with my heart my soul Richard: don't do that anymore Me: 😂😂😂😂😂😂 Richard: this song is called spit it out Judson: 🤨🤨 ohkayyy Hahaha loving your conversations today. The song hasn't even started 😅
Slipknot, mudvayne and korn were also my gateway bands (dunno if i'm using the term correctly) to the beginnings of metal. Just that it happened for me when i was in may late 20s rather than when i was in middle school. Lol. Re the masks, I'm not into horror either, but they look ok to me. I mean, they don't particularly look scary (maybe coz i know there are real people under the masks). Hmmm, and i think any artist always faces the risk of being pigeonholed into whatever thing, with or without masks so damned if you do, damned if you don't. 🤷
You should do some Mushroomhead "solitaire unraveling" and see what he thinks of them since they also wear masks, but might a bit more palatable while still heavy
I weirdly agree with Judson the mask can really alienate you at times lol, that can definitely be the allure of it! He's gotta see Joey Jordison rip tho.. Also, there is an amazing video that surfaced recently of an Unmasked soundcheck that is a really cool look at them all playing. Definitely consider checking it out ! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nPNUbfEmgGM.html
Τhe biggest misunderstanding is that Slipknot are considered as heavy metal.. They have distorted guitars in their music but they are NOT heavy metal.. Not only them but all these Nu - metal bands they are "and metal".. They have many rap influences with their vocals and noises they create, so they are not 100% metallic!
Hey guys. Please react/listen to "Prognan - Tri Nacjie" "Bloodbath - Eaten" "Borknagar - Up North" "Satyricon - Mother North" "Immortal - Withstand the fall of time" "Taake - Myr"
There are also ties to drug addiction in the lyrics spit it out referring to pills. In the lyrics “f$&” me I’m all out of amphetamines”. Which also can translate to I’m not swallowing the pill you are giving me. Keep crushing it guys 🤘
@tylerspunucious7420 why? Can you give me your greaaaat knowledge that I don't have... this is metal, it's fast, the guitars are heavy and distorded, the singer screams and there is some breakdowns.
