The “drummers” on the scissor lift are the ones who provide the background vocals for Corey...Clown and Chris (at the time) now it’s Clown & Tortilla Man doing the backups vocals
I think you owe us another slipknot video after stopping early 😂 If you want to see his mastery of crowd control, watch spit it out live at download Festival 2009
Its the epitome of crowd control. When such a song becomes so legendary that even non fans know what to do before Corey Taylor asks you to get down, thats incredible.
I mean, not to sh*t on corey taylor. Hes not my favorite singer but hes got a good voice. However his screaming is not Guttural screaming, and theres a plethora of more disturbing screamers out there
If you want to hear more of Corey's amazing clean vocals I'd recommend the songs "Snuff" or "Circle" from Slipknot ... but, Corey also is the front man of a predominantly hard rock band called Stone Sour. I'd recommend the songs: Through Glass, Bother, Song #3, Hesitate, Taciturn, Zzyzx Rd. and Influence of a Drowsy God. The guy has an absolutely phenomenal singing voice.
I love it when kens talks like he’s Ron burgundy’s smarter brother at 2:55 or maybe a little Paul Rudd in there. I truly enjoy watching ken react to this genre of music.
Dude, I LOVE your innocence and excitement when you see what Slipknot is all about.... ❤️ this is a GREAT video! 🔥 Thank you for doing this - Appreciate your channel and review of METAL 🤘🏼😎🤘🏼
99.9% sure he was wearing in-ears... however stage volume in an arena isn't as loud as you would think (I've played to in 10,000 crowd arena and the stage volume is very tame.... it's all BOOMING out of the mains though!)
I actually used to be in a metal band and got to meet Slipknot in person. After they saw us cover this same song. Never thought that would happen to me
They have been one of my favorite bands since I was a child I finally got to see them live in 2015 and it was one of the best shows ive ever been to Corey posses a special voice being able to do so many different styles a great display of his voice would be with his other band Stone Sour a song they did called bother
For an amazing female metal vocalist, check out Unleash The Archers and their song Tonight We Ride (official video). Her belting is Goddess level and will split the earth some day 😁
What you’re actually seeing is Joey Jordinson slay on the drums the whole song. He literally sets the tempo and feel for the entire song and regularly throws triple kicks into the song in dynamic intervals. I’m a little biased but I think he’s the best still living drummer
"Everyone is so at odds with each other. Everyone is so quick to look at each other as an enemy without trying to find common ground. For our kids, for our fans, that can really be a stressful, daunting, dangerous time. It’s very dangerous for people to be different these days. I will not have it. I grew up different. I know the pain of having to deal with being treated differently, and for me, it’s one of those rare cases where we actually use our position in life to make a stand and say 'It doesn’t matter who you are, where you come from, what you look like, what color your skin is, who you love, what you believe - we are all your family because of this love for music that we have. The title "We Are Not Your Kind" represents that gathering of people together and then turning our backs towards the rest of the world and saying, ‘We’re not going to let your illness and your hate permeate us. We are not your kind. You will never be ours.This is what Slipknot is about."
Hi! On the album, I believe he sings both parts...but, in concert, someone else does the screams, so he doesn’t strain too much I imagine. Also, he’s one of the few vocalists with a 5.5-7 octave range.😉
I can’t say how much fun it would be to be in a metal band. But I’ve been to a good number of Slipknot concerts. Hella good time had by all!! But nothing I’ve ever seen has topped Rammstein live.
KEN! YOU WOULD KILL IT IN A METAL BAND!!!! Seriously! I’m old! 50! Been a metal head 40. I know metal lead singer guy charisma when I see it. And with your skills, your biggest problem would be trying to figure out which band to join. Listen, I am a senior corporate exec for a strategic consulting firm, and we obviously scout and assess talent for roles. So now that I’ve started writing a work email in a RU-vid comment, I’ll close it to say: You’re a master performer and musician. Why would you not try this style of performing? Imagine just cutting loose, letting your skills fly at 100%, do what you know a speed of living to the fullest. Suit and tie guys like you and I get so much out of metal if you indulge. Talk about enjoying being the suit and tie guy that gets to blow off the steam that’s been capped off by our tie’s. Boom baby. Now, back to my conference call. And sneakily watching Slipknot entrance Ken... :-)
If you want to hear a trained metal singer who nearly became famous with Judas Priest, look into the German power metal band Primal Fear and their vocalist Ralf Scheepers. He auditioned for JP when original singer Rob Halford left the group. He lost the job to Ohio's Tim "Ripper" Owens, whose story was dramatized in the movie Rock Star. Regardless, Ralf is an absolute beast of a singer who also works as a vocal coach. You won't be disappointed. Several songs to listen to are "Armageddon", "Revolution" and "Silence" from their album 'Black Sun'.
So if you want to hear easily the best clean vocals in the world. (also metal) Lost horizon - cry of as restless soul Lost horizon - sworn in the metal wind
This is a great performance for sure but if you wanna see Corey at his peak. I recommend reacting to Disasterpiece live in london 2002 I believe. He almost ruined his voice permanently on this tour but my God it was slipknot at their absolute best.
Maybe you would be interested in "from can to can't" with corey taylor and dave grohl among other musicians. On the youtube video they show part of the recording (including vocals)
There was another vocalist on stage. One of the percussionists Chris Fehn(the mask with the long nose) who is no longer in the band was singing the backup parts.
Live performance vocals change a bit in order for corey to not blow his voice out. The 2 custom percussionists add in more vocals at live shows. Slipknot is known to play 250+ shows in one year of touring.
