The Samples: Slipknot Edition 

trueeeee

NOO, Amen break is the best one

"They're doing something rather curious with the parts of the body in a way we don't fully understand" is one of my favorites (It's from Carve by the way. From a demo tape)

I always heard "Pick up the pace!" Apparently my life is a lie.

I swear to god, I've always heard "death from the pain"

and joey

@@itz_vortex7341 actually no

@@Darkmjk Joey gave it that raw feel which i feel is the definition of slipknot. Him gone it just feels way too modern. Give the older stuff a listen it's way different than the new stuff

I would say that slipknot wouldn't be slipknot without all the members

Josh Mayes just like paul said

here we go ta da ta da da ta da da ta da da da

The hostage is taking a shit

My fav elements of the knot

Trent D mine too bro

Iv always appreciated their input but the first time I ever took lsd later in the night when I was at my friends flat and he was sleeping I was looking on the computer for something to watch and while I was tripping and he had disasterpieces. It was the craziest shit I have ever seen or heard in my entire life . I was hearing all kinds of other noises and sounds in the music it was crazy. Iv never seen anything like that in my life

Yep

Followed very closely by "Funky Drummer" which is frequently confused for the "Amen Break".

I had the pleasure of sampling it while trying to recreate Mindfields by The Prodigy, it felt great to finally use _the_ break lol

Not so fun fact: the drummer who played the amen break didn't get much royalty

The amen sampled in Eyeless is actually a resample of Ease Yourself by The Collective. Yes it’s an amen, but the specific amen sampled (there are hundreds of variations) is not from The Winstons original sample, as this video claims.

I thought the " here comes the pain " Was sid saying that

If you know your movies and music you would've known that

Here comes the pain is from Carlitos Way

@@kuzrahfan2004 sorry you're a dumbass

@@alienslutz666 You're the dumbass.

Yeah, that's the unfair part of arrangemet, sound design, sampling etc... it adds so much to the final sound and atmosphere but it's rarely noticed by listeners.

You would notice if it wasn't there.

​@@goofygoob0373now that 133 isn't there you'll notice it

i get what you mean but when i was 16 hearing this shit for the first time, those samples meant everything to me because they added to the raw edgy attitude they had. @@xavkoston16

?

Wait*

oh i just realized you are talking about the video where it says wat and bleed

They probably charged by the letter.

_wat_ the fuck happened to the title

*WAT?*

dudrijepan i think this is the only wrong one, i search up the right one and let you know

@@Antiheld13 nope, it's actually correct.

I had a feeling after all these years now I know why "South Of Heaven" would come to mind.

for real, just made me go OHHHHHHHHHHH WOW

I was blown away too. But then again, electronic artists often apply subtle treasures & manipulate them into their own masterpiece.

I always wondered how the band 311 somehow made it sound super chill in their reggae cover of Leaving Bablyon. was always so weird to know the same sample was used in such wildly different song moods

...wow THAT

Me too there's something very creepy about that scream

it’s one of my favorite parts of any Slipknot song. i love how it gets swallowed up by the effects at the end. they do something similar on Skin Ticket too.

@@boattime7894 the story is fake man

@@theyluvskippy Me neither..

2:23 in the actual track

Syanide it’s at 1:42 but you have to turn the volume up quite a bit, it’s super quiet

Same lol

He had a spinal disease and was having trouble get to a from the stage, Slipknot thought he was on drugs and they fired him. Years later joey spilled the beans about the situation. I love Slipknot but Corey and clown are turning Slipknot into KISS and acting like Gene and Paul. The Slipknot brand is bigger than the actual band now .

Fucking agreed dude

Sad but true George Washington, sad but true.

@top kek yeah you're right. slipknot became bigger than them. no matter what though, at least we will always the first couple albums, where they werent a business - they were a bunch of pissed off dudes from iowa that came here to say FUCK YOU

Yeah, the whole thing I think it’s sick.

Its amazing

my most favourite ❤️🤘

Which is why I absolutely fucking love it

That's why it's their best album.

M Dzul Nur Faisal it’s not just Craig, some of these are Sid as well

I find it a little disingenuous when a bad just presses play on an entire section of the band that was written by someone. Fear Factory comes to mind.

Tbh craig and sid are probably my favorite members

@@sewerrat4539how?

@@reubenchadwick because that's hits opinion

But the whole thing I think it's sick

Is* sick

I stand corrected. Don't know why I thought it was is

Pablo Restrepo I used to love it when they played it live, they don’t seem to play it anymore.

They almost got sued for it so they removed it and released it again with out the sample but the girl thats was buried case was fake

@@Spookymanz The sample had nothing to do with the suing. It was Chimaira that was wanting to sue them for stealing their song "Painting the white to grey"

@@GamerMikeYoy you think slipknot travelled two years into the future to steal a song from 2001?

They are playing it for the 25th anniversary of self titled

Muꭥn right??? Damn

ꭥ

I wouldnt be surprised if they are credited in the booklet of the CD

erik sand it’s not, at least not on the reissue (the one with me inside) you can get at retail. Idk about the original release (that has frail limb nursery and purity) or the 10th anniversary edition of the album

Right?!

Thought those were people at a concert

This!

Couldn’t agree more. Discovered so many new artists since making these videos!

Amen

RU-vid II Sometimes it's not really an influence as much as just sounding cool and random finds

indeed. hence why i'll be annoying the fuck out of Justin Broadrick for the samples used on Techno Animal's Ghosts album.

@Jj fr?

Craig finds the samples and basically test drives it for the band. He gets a lot of stuff from movies, songs, and other stuff.

Most of these are Craig. The "Oh No!" I'm pretty sure is Sid as it sounds like that's being manipulated by a turntable

@Schizoid well duh, I'm just saying that they both do samples, obviously sid does he DJ stuff such as scratching, and Craig does keyboards.

Carlitos way is an awesome movie

And everybody thought he was saying "Pick up the pace" lol

@Schizoid A bunch of people. People I know personally, people I've seen post lyrics on social media and years back several lyric websites had it listed as that too

I've never consciously paid attention to at least half of these

i noticed it but never quite made out what it said but now i hear.. so weird lol

I always thought it said “I haven’t got time for this”

Thats one of the best oness tho

I had it as a ringtone once lolx

Craig is the sampler and Sid is the DJ. Other than that, I agree.

My word is get out the train😂

YES I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!

@@nisalwijesundara3169 🤣

Samesies

Me too

LilDeuceDeuce??

@@joeyscotch2765 LilDeuceDeuce

Deuce???

Did not expect to see you here

Yeah a slayer song used the snake eyes sample

Yessir, not a lot of people know this but Craig actually used to play guitar WAY back in the day before Mick even joined, then Mick replaced Craig on guitar and Craig switched over to sampling

He is a sampler what did you think he did lol

Bro he is gone

@@KurtCobain0_o bro casually left

Matt Renton Sid in an interview said that he used to play jungle sets before he joined slipknot, and even now a lot of his solo stuff is very much dark jungle and that sort of thing. I think Craig just found some obscure shit and made it work

That further explains why i love Slipknot. I was obsessed with that mid 90s jungle stuff at one point, still a big fan of it

@@laurisaarinen1126 yeah dude. Akais, Amigas, and Roland Polysynths made some dope AF music.

That one is by far the easiest tbh

You should watch Carlitos way! It’s a great fucking movie!

The crazy thing is I'd seen that movie and I never realised they sampled it for Sic until I watched this

I knew it was a sample, but I did not know what it was from. I've actually seen Carlito's Way and I didn't catch it even then!

Reminds me of the sample from the slayer song, I think the one slayer used is from snake eyes tho.

Sid is a known jungle (DJ) enthusiast which makes a lot of sense when you listen to some of these samples

+ the distorted bass from Paul and maniacal production from ross robinson on analog tape.

Samee

Subscribe to Loidwire. Slipknot is the reason they exist

You’re a sample man

Are you a odadijan?

Same i feel like I finally know something but actually I still don't know shit haha

Here how it works : you take a piece of audio you like and chop it up, put it through treatment such as pitching/speeding up/down.. you're basically morphing into the best fit for what the song needs. Hope this helped !

considering that sampling is mostly used in hip hop/rap, yea, you probably wouldnt know if you dont listen to rap much. a lot of rap is sampling small obscure clips and editing them in a arrangement that either works well with the music or makes a halfway decent beat. MF DOOM and Kanye West is probably the best example i could give for artists that likes to sample stuff. im not a music expert but that probably the simplest way to explain it without using examples and making a 20 minute video out of it.

Thank ya both that sounds cool

Sampling is when you take a recording of a piece of audio from a source other than the one your working on (ie: another song, a film, audio book, interviews, etc) and you use it in some way, shape or form in your project. Samples are often edited to compliment the sound of the band. Some bands, such as Slipknot, use these samples to add that layer distressed horror underneath the main music or add to their heavily percussive sound. Others, such as Mortician, will sample large chunks of movies to set a theme or atmosphere for their song. Some punk bands, such as Discharge, will sample political speeches/documentaries to frame certain ideologies and concepts in positive/negative light Genres like digital hardcore, vaporwave, industrial and hip hop will craft their entire instrumental sections out of sampled sounds that are then edited to form percussive and melodic elements which are then used as voices for writing. Because sampled music borrows another artist's work sampling can get artists into legal issues. For example, Skinny Puppy have often had to change or omit songs and music videos due to a lack of clearance to use audio/visual samples. Many small bands can get away with sampling because they cannot sell much of their music and do not make very much, if any, money for their work. Larger artists, such as Slipknot after 1999 would be charged a large amount of money to legally use samples.

Sid will have got some too

insertgenericusernamehere Sid is dj not sampling

@@AkkayHT228 haha your wrong sid did a lot of these. And djs do sample

Oh I always thought Slipknot played with dropped-tunings (if anyone gets the joke, well good job, you may be a musicv nerd)

@@milky3935 wich si did? actually a lot was before Sid

Yep

if you speed up the Stamp You Out mix, it kinda sounds like the Hyper mix

Some of them are sids samples. I'd cross reference full metal scratch it too see who's is whos

@@aleemabdul2232 i listened full metal scratch it, but how you understood which samples are Sid's and which are Craig's?

@@biggore8338 the album only has sids so if it doesn't appear on there it's craigs :)

When you are Dj, you notice easily which are vynil samples for scratching and which are samples to be played on a sampler. Half here are from sid vynils

@@marcdelossantos4135 weird flex

Same

S/T was 7yrs. in the making I believe

They will never be heavy or creative again; the writing was on the wall when Paul died and Joey was fired over his illness. Paul and Joey were the ones who constantly wrote heavy and disturbing shit, while Clown and Corey wanted to make more mainstream and melodic shit for broader audiences. With their Iowa album, Paul was the only one who said he had a blast writing and recording the album because it was as heavy and dark as he wanted it to be. All Hope is Gone would've been mostly songs like 'Snuff' and 'Dead Memories' judging by the inner notes of the album and the interviews revealing that Clown and Corey wrote songs for the album while Joey and Paul wrote songs separately and the band couldn't agree on what they wanted to develop into finished songs due to creative differences. It's why the band doesn't like that album much; it wasn't a cohesive effort and vision, and was the first time the band recorded separately instead of jamming, rehearsing and recording all at the same time like in previous albums. They would never again record that way either. Every album since has been recorded in pieces at different intervals. This is why I think they can't ever recreate what they made in their first years. The ambition to succeed and make a name for themselves was no longer there anymore and they couldn't agree on what they wanted to do. Joey and Paul wanted Slipknot to be a borderline extreme metal band, and Clown and Corey wanted Slipknot to be a mainstream powerhouse. Normally I wouldn't mind Corey's stance... but the guy is a huge hypocrite considering that he bashed Limp Bizkit and Korn for being sell-outs and catering to mainstream trends and appeal, only to then do the same thing years later and now shares the stage with people he called disgusting 5 years earlier.

Really? the new album has Craig and Sid all over it man

@@xlixity You have it all wrong but nice try.

@@rawrsinji nah I actually have it right, but you do you.

Dynamite Grizzly That is true 😊 I fount that out a couple of month after this video came out. That song was also used in Pulse Of The Maggots

He can download the same samples as the one’s craig has been doing, we would need to see in future songs if he can bring new cool samples to the band

James Kurker I found the video you’re referring too, not 100% sure it is, but it does sound a little bit like it so I might be wrong 😊

Skip To My Loops is a 90s classic. Norman Cook is Fatboy Slim btw

They barely used samples after the first album. They didn't have a clue how many copies their debut album was going to sell, so there's quite a lot of of uncleared samples used on it. They had to drop Frail Limb Nursery entirely from re-releases due to legal reasons and so they were a lot smarter from Iowa onwards.

@@dellzincht iowa?

@@billrobertjoe Iowa is their second album, and as far as I can tell only 2 songs have any samples and they're instrumental distortions so not too noteworthy

@@nickmontoya1 iowa, people=shit, gently, heretic anthem all have samples

@UCXN7X4UJ3kau3mVqKy-Q6IA In reality, I coudn't have this detail in mind, as I am not so fluent in english. I din't even think about the word smart while writing the comment (as I also din't expect you to reply me like 10 minutes after I posted it). I thank you for the correction, anyway.

Craig does samples.

Juan Hernandez never knew stealing lines from movies and hitting play was a talent.

@@billybobbobson5346 haha! Wear a spiky helmet and it's talent. Otherwise it's just a bloke pressing play on a cassette recorder ;)

I miss the atmospheric stuff that Craig, Sid, Chris and Shawn added in the early days

He hasn’t died lol

@@8mu- jajaja I'm sorry, he hasn't died, but he has left Slipknot today!😔

Not many of their other albums have so much sampling
