Voice Teacher Reacts to COREY TAYLOR - Snuff (Acoustic) 

The song now carries a double meaning. Originally, the song was written about a failed relationship that Corey had, he never said who it was but some say it’s his ex wife. When writing the song, Corey didn’t want it to be included on a Slipknot album, he didn’t think it was good enough. Paul Gray, their bassist loved the song and really pushed for the song to make it on the album. Paul unfortunately passed away not long after so the song is special in that it’s a sad love song and a song to remember Paul.

One of the most poignant lyrics I've ever encountered: "It took the death of hope to let you go". Such a great line.

5:58 on the album version Corey belts out a long note right here. Clearly in this version he's too choked up to hit it, and ends up doing a shorter one, but you can hear in the background one guy in the crowd ABSOLUTELY NAIL IT

"Snuff" was created in 2008 and then use by Slipknot to pay tribute to Paul Gray (bass player) who died in 2010. This is why Corey is so emotional during this interpretation.

Snuff is one of my favorite songs. I cannot imagine trying to sing this live with a huge crowd singing with you word for word

"Angels lie to keep control" ...hardest line in metal history.

One of my favorite Corey Taylor songs is the one he did with Dave grohl. It's called "from can to can't". Consider it 😉. I think it shows his range pretty well

This isnt my 1st time seeing this.. I just love the way this song touches you emotionally before youre "pausing" it to calm yourself down (: really nice reaction, love it!

Well done, Teach. It looked like you were getting a little choked up there in the second verse. I like how he pulled out the rasp to emphasize the mood of the song.

“Tastefully” was the word I think you were looking for. Such a moving song and some heartfelt lyrics. Always makes me tear up. Great reaction and a start into your descent into Slipknot.

I do hope people are also mentioning his other band Stone Sour as well. Although I believe I read that for now at least the band is disbanded. They still have an excellent catalog of music too!!! 😉❤✌

Corey: "love is just a camouflage " Subtitles:" love is just a camera blush"

my dad died just 1 week ago and this was the song we played and now i came to your reaction, i have to say thanks for this ..

I love how the whole tone of the song changes with the line "But all of that was ripped apart when you refused to fight". Up till that point he's the bad guy of the relationship. She's too good for him, if you love him let him go, if he's alone he cannot hate, but then she does leave and all of a sudden she's the bad guy now. The whole focus changes to everything she should've done to save the relationship, and him. It's such a good representation of a toxic relationship and the anger that comes out on the refused to fight line hits hard every time.

I cannot listen to this song without teary eyes. I guess we all can relate. A very honest and human experience.

I saw the moment the tears welled up in your eyes. Love Slipknot and Corey!

I was in a metal band about 9 million years ago and our singer said when he scrunched up his nose it was to bring the sound forward and it let him use tension without putting the tension in his throat where he didn't want it. I'm not a singer but that is the best I can tell you. Hopefully someone else has a better way to describe it. Great reaction as always. Metal has always been overlooked as just screaming and making angry sounds but there is so much more to metal.

This one makes me tear up every time...

I believe you should check out their track "People = Shit", a live video. This band is insane and actually has a lot of variety on their albums (rapping, harsh vocals, growls, clean singing, mixed voice, etc). They formed in 1995 and had some members leave and join, but since 1999 it's been a pretty consistent lineup of 9 guys.

This song is beautiful. Corey sings from his soul. He's also crying towards the end.

Slipknot (and thus Corey) really hits a special point on me. From the very fist time I heard them, when I was in highschool, I got instantly hooked. And no matter if it's a super heavy or soft song, I just get goosebumps anytime I close my eyes an try to follow the lyrics. I guess most people has had a broken heart at least once. I'm no exception. this song... I remember hearing it for the first time, by accident, right after breaking up with my first girlfriend and feeling REALLY hurt. This song is really profound to me for that reason. Like... It brings me back to a dark past but it's also beautiful and I enjoy it a lot. So... It's sort of like a massochistic experience for me to listen to Snuff. A guilty pleasure, one might say, that has to be carefully dosed or else it can pretty much bring me down.

This song is so beautiful and emotional. Now, I am very curious about your reaction to actual Slipknot songs.

This song has some of the heaviest lyrics I have ever heard in regards to a breakup. I met a guy last week who after his four year relationship broke up, he couldn't listen to this song without crying for six months. I just broke up with my 23-year long soulmate... I have a long ways to go. 😭

Loved your reaction! Have subbed to you. Do a reaction video to "LEAVE THE DOOR OPEN" by a Filipino Girl group 4th Impact.

Slipknot - "Vermillion 1" "Vermillion 2" and "Killpop" Stone Sour - "Bother" "Through Glass" "Sillyworld" "Zzyzx Rd." and "Song #3" All more "chill" songs that are a good ease into the genre and you're vary likely to enjoy.

he is so talented. i was shocked when i found out the Stonesour "Through Glass" was him

At the end his slight changes of placement is to help him optimize more projection & sound with the mouth shapes you mentioned . The Vocal coach he uses is/was an Opera Singer.

corey taylor is one of my all time favorite vocalists so many different techniques and tones he uses to show different emotions. need to checkout slipknot stone sour and corey's solo stuff

You HAVE To react to Devin Townsend. His solo performance doing Kingdom at EMGTV is a classic, but Deadhead at PlovDiv is my favorite (though that song at Royal Albert Hall gets most of the reactions)

Cory has one of the craziest vocal ranges EVER!

First slipknot I always recommend is phycosocial because I like seeing the reaction when he switches from his screaming to his singing,always catches people out

Slipknot is definitely worth giving a listen to, they are technically very good and the energy and emotion can't be denied, but it clearly isn't for everyone. Corey is also in a slightly lesser known band called Stone Sour, which still has that edginess but is maybe a little bit easier to get into if you aren't used to such harsh metal. Fantastic reaction though, looking forward to seeing more :)

The reason he asks the crowd to help is there is a video on RU-vid where he literally breaks down in tears singing this.

A fairly good representation of Slipknot would be 'The Devil in I', but for a reaction, the live version video from Knotfest 2014 might be the best option. The music video is far too distracting, but the live performance is astounding. Keep up the good work!

Corey is amazing, he can literally sing anything perfectly. This song, especially this video, breaks my heart every single time. 😢💔

Im watching a couple of you know vocalyst, analysts but i got to tell, it`s great to see someone tearing for the joy or feeling the pain of the singer...You are emotional and it`s great, love to see while analysing, you are still a human. Keep it up girl.

Since I couldn't find another song you reacted to from Slipknot yet, I'd like to make a suggestion. Obviously, most of Slipknot's catalog is vastly different than this song, but a good introduction to them in my opinion is Dead Memories. It really features Corey's vocals in a way that is similar to this song. After that, the ones I recommend most would be as follows: Psychosocial, The Devil In I, Before I Forget, and Wait and Bleed.

if you want more vocal corey you should have a listen to Song#3 stone sour acoustic version it really lets his vocal side sing in his belting abilities...

whos eyes welled up when hers did ...?

Absolutely stunning

As a huge fan of Corey Taylor I love this reaction video you are so point-on with the details it's incredible

*everyone who suggests ‘Snuff’: _Jim Jeffries voice_ “hohohoo we’re gonna make her cry!”

I love this performance! Coreys voice is my favorite one of all. Greetings from Germany

I second the recommendation for From Can To Can't with Corey Taylor and Dave Grohl. The behind the scenes of the recording really shows his vocal skills: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Izq-B50k0-Y.html

We can see your emotion on this - this is such an amazing song for people to relate to and it hits everyone right in the heart. Slipknot is very different than this but Corey is awesome!

Such a powerful song, in my eyes the best song Slipknot have made thus far in their career. And this performance, just Corey with his guitar and feelings coming through makes it even heavier. There is one song I've not seen much around in the "reaction section", an old classic heavy metal ballad I love.. Manowar's "Master of the Wind". (I'd recommend "studio" audio, as most of the live versions out there aren't the best quality)

You're Iweegan too! Small world! Me, Oskaloosa.

Next listen to duality by slipknot is one of bands best and Corey has another band called stone sour, 2 great song that shows off his voice are #3 and bother.

🥺 gets me every time...

If he didn’t see a vocal coach after their initial album he would of killed his entire career!!

I just fairly recently "discovered" Slipknot. Psychosocial was my gateway song. Some would also say Duality and Unsainted are good next steps. Fyi, don't get used to seeing Corey's face...

This is one of these special Songs + Performance i can't listen to... Everytime it reminds me on Paul, Joey and the Story of Cory ending up overdosed and thrown away in a dumpster...

omg this was the exact performance i was talking about on the queensryche video. im so happy you caught this, this is the literal song that came to mind when posting it.

Me da mucho sentimiento esa canción:(

In my opinion, the "snarling" opens the passage where the nose, and throat meet. Therefore creating more of an open area to produce the sound cleanly. Just my thoughts on it anyway.

Corey é único!!!

"The Devil In I" is a must... but please do the Knotfest 2014 LIVE version... the video will just gross you out and distract how awesome the song is.

Corey pretty much does what he wants with his voice... He can scream better than IMO anyone, he can do ballads as you just saw, he can rap, he can... whatever. You should really try Slipknot now... You really should. He's just as good in that spectrum as he is in this one. I'll recommend "Let It Bleed", live or studio makes no difference with Corey. Enjoy!!! P.S. He has another band too... Stone Sour... "Through Glass" is a must. Equally a must is to watch the music video version... Masterpiece! I think you will like Stone Sour more than Slipknot myself. Again, enjoy!

Sitting here in Iowa watching. Where in Iowa were you from. I'm in the Cedar Rapids area. Love your channel.

My favorite song ever, great video :)

This has to be the most painful breakup song of all time, seriously. I'm almost 40 and this instantly hits home to the girl I wanted to spend my life with when I was 19. She refused to fight and gave up over something so small. God it hurts every time.

Hi, love this song. Love from Portugal

Please React to the meaning of Life Muslim spoken word video .. it will show you why we here in this world and why we die ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Please React

Great song and video. Please do more slipknot... May I suggest vermilion pt 2?..

Essa menina é simplesmente PERFEITA! Linda demais, credo. É a cara da Patrícia Pilar mais nova.

You should check out Corey Taylor singing “Home/Zzyzx” it’s really good!

what a powerful music

Perhaps if you need to be eased into Slipknot, something like Killpop or Vermillion may help the transition before some of their heavier music. Looking forward to more reactions!

I'm excited, this should be good 😊

He had a hard time at this show with this song, cause his best friend and band mate had just died. So singing this song was hard and at the 5 minute mark he actually breaks down and he has to step back for a minute...

Ah this song destroys me for real

Please for the love of all that is good in this world, react to Austin and Rob from Home Free singing Nessun Dorma!

This song is about the lyrics. Just heartbreaking but very relatable.

Corey Taylor has an impressive voice! I love these darker interpretations! A recommendation... Corey Taylor, Dave Grohl, Rick Nielson ''From Can to Can't''

I recommend you to react to Duality, it's a great song

Such a heartbraking song.

This song will always be at the top for me. Especially this version of it.

that one dude in the audience nailed that "ooohhhh" too like halfway through Lol

As most have already written, this song is heartbreaking & Corey is just so pained that it is legitimately hard for him to sing. I think most Maggots (Slipknot fans) are ready & willing to belt this song as a show of support & solidarity. That’s why I do anyways 🤷🏻‍♀️

How about, TNT BOYS singing Flashlight and other videos from The Worlds Best performance. Please check it out..please..

Maybe you've already found this in the 9 months since this video was posted... Probably not a video you will want to review live! But this would be a good intro to Slipknot so you can hear the majority of Corey's range. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1lle9FHyn50.html -Slipknot 'Dead Memories' ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4EWH1RiVf4M.html -Live version, probably DON'T review this live! ;)

I recommend the making of the beautiful song "Corey Taylor, Dave Grohl, Rick Nielsen, and Scott Reeder -- From Can to Can't"

I've just subscribed I like your content 💗 Please I want the Voice Teacher reacts of Korn Falling Away From Me, a live version ❤ pleaaaaase

Listen to from can to can’t if you haven’t already. A collaboration he did with Dave Grohl.

You’ll be singing this song to yourself for a while now 😊

Please, react to Dalas Green. He's vocalist os Alexisonfire (a hardcore band, with too much screams), but solo, just voice and guitar.

You cant react to Snuff and not to Nutshell.AIC,- Nutshell mtv unplugged please mam

I am curious about Pantera. Would appreciate a video on Cowboys From Hell or Cemetary Gates to know your opinion about Phil's vocals ;)

Five Finger Death Punch - Wrong Side of Heaven is one you should react to. Keep smiling, it's a nice look.

did someone just call my boy corries glorious tree stump neck a beautiful pillar of sound :) this song really resonates with me i first came across it during a bad time in my life and can relate to this song on many levels.

Yeah now you've started down a rabbit hole. Do Unsainted of Slipknot. Don't forget his original band is Stone Sour where his voice is entirely in this style

everyone recommends snuff from this show but no one recommends the spongebob song :(

I think the "mustache" thing might have just been him trying to not cry while holding the note. No idea though, I can't sing lol. edit: oh you said that my bad lol

I would highly recommend Vermillion pt.2 by Slipknot.

Check out Slipknot and StoneSour to get an example of all Corey Taylor’s vocals

Its ok. This song does it to me to and I don't even know why!? Let it out! Its really ok. 😭

I'm confused why you've never made any stone sour videos. Like what? 🤯

Recommend massively that you check out "corey taylor - bother acoustic" from the same session

Great after lsitening sound of silence with you, now this....where are the fucking tissues when you need them?!
