@@robmoon3061 My intro to Slipknot was the live Spit it Out from Download in London and it peaked my interest. Then found the Psychosocial video and was blown away! Been a fan ever since! 🤘💕
Fact: Me and 4 of my friends are actually in the “Duality” music video. They shot the video in Iowa and we were able to make our way from Illinois to the video site. It was a long grueling day.
I wonder how many people have actually hit something metal with an aluminum bat. Unless you're a masochist, you need to wear some sort of gloves because the sting it creates in the hands is off-the-charts painful.
@@killermonjero I've seen a video where Clown talked about the nerve damage in his hands from doing that, but he keeps doing it because nothing else "sounds right".
"Old guy composer fail, shouldn't try to be cool". Really made me laugh. It's not easy putting yourself out there, and building a bit of a persona while still remaining an authentic human being. You're doing great. You are cool.
My favorite reactions to Slipknot are from music professionals who can explain what about it works for them and why. Thank you for the awesome reaction/analysis
Totally agree, channels like Rick Beato or this one add so much to the song by knowing what the fuck they’re talking about 😂 I don’t watch any other reactions of guys just sitting there and going „that’s insane bro“
Just figured you'd want to know - this is a 9-piece band and that includes two percussionists in addition to the drummer - that's why you hear such power in the beat that isn't equaled by any other band. Also, just to answer your question - they do tend to use Drop B tuning on many of their songs - especially their early songs.
Yah let's do the count...Lead Voice...percussion/keg pounder x2...turntable...lead and rhythm guitars x2...bass...drummer...I'm missing the 9th? What am I missing?
I've been a fan since day 1. Was watching bootleg VHS Slipknot concerts in 1999, and I agree 100%, Solway Firth is one of their best songs hands down. Masterpiece.
@@stirl Same boat, man. They lost me a little over the years but as soon as I heard Solway, I was fully roped in for the latest album... Such strong power, and the ending is just MEATY.
You're using the fleshy part of the hand to find an artificial harmonic, like if you play a note and tap a harmonic. Pinch harmonics like these ones are created by following through after picking and connecting the edge of the thumb with the freshly picked string. It usually results in a higher register harmonic than you'd get with the artificial type mentioned above. If that makes sense.....
@@calebbean1384 that one is beyond me! Kind of half way between a normal note and a full pinch? Like if you accidentally caught the string on the way through with your thumb but didn't dig in fully like you would for the pinch?
Man id love to see you do Spit it out or Wait and bleed...probably 2 of the tracks that slipknot kind of exploded onto the scene with that made everyone sit back and go "holy shit...these guys are like nothing else before them"
I've never really been a fan of Slipknot, but I'll always tip my hat to Corey Taylor. That man has such a unique tone and impressive vocal, and he himself has said he's always looking for that perfect lyric which has pushed him to create music across various genres. He's awesome.
Corey is diverse. He's also incredibly intelligent and complex. I have to give him big props for going big and being able to escape iowa. It seems like this place is impossible to escape.
Top tier band with a great historical catalogue, legendary drummer, and oh yeah their vocalist is pretty good too you could search up some of his acoustic/live stuff.
Check out the channel Laurenseewrite. She has a lot of Slipknot reactions, for example Prosthetics and Virus of life (th-cam.com/video/ap-dbiCprM8/w-d-xo.html)
aaand purity, vermilion 1 & 2 and killpop...i hate it when people start off their slipknot experience with the "hits" and stuff from vol.3 onwards...they should establish the REAL slipknot image in their mind from the first 2 albums n then move on to the rest to experience their growth as the band did n we did as old ass fans
A big special thank you for reacting to the full studio version. Really burns my bunions when people react to the music video version with the shortened bridges. Namaste, papa Geebz.
@@HohnerCornell I have too. But to me, Slipknot became boring and generic, like so many other bands out there. With Self Titled and Iowa they had something different. Then they toned it down and became uninteresting. Though I did like WANYK.
Aloha bud! I think it might be worth it to check out some Machinehead- specifically from either The Blackening or Unto the Locust- which are by my money, their two best albums. It's also important to recognize that the entire band was more or less self taught until Locust, where they actively sought out classical training for their instruments to try and get some new sounds out of them.
YES! Burn my eyes is such a masterpiece. Perfect metal album imo, although I also like The Blackening and Into the Locust. If I'd have to pick a song, Davidian 😘
@@Zhgarr ooooh Davidian is a great choice! I'd almost want to directly compare it with Darkness Within, just in how sonically different those two are, but also.... I kinda wanna hear what Our Dear Decomposer has to say about Locust's title track
This chorus hits on the AND OF 4 over the bar line in the rhythm section, and yes the hanging vocal over the following bar line adds so much to the floating feeling. Great track.
Your cover of this..... Is insane! 🙀 😲🤘😻 (I don't have the little "mind blown" emoj.. Otherwise I would have slapped him up there too. Lol) Nicely done, sir!
I love your reactions so much, you are truly one of the best reactors out there, i myself love to listen for all the little things in songs and admire the time and effort really put into the song. So i must recommend you do a complex Queen song, like The March of The Black Queen, The Millionaire Waltz, or maybe The Prophets Songs. These underrated and appreciated songs that truly show how high of a level Queen's musicianship really was, all of them.
Pinch harmonics the easiest way to get them is to use your pick thumb where you pick the note and flick your wrist so your pick thumb hits the string right after the note... kinda like a flam note :)
My 16yrs old self is really happy to be listening to this...right now. "I push my fingers into my eyes it's the only thing that stops the ache... " ♡ NEXT: Korn, Everything I've Known.
You are a really cool guy, and I love that you fully consider people's choices in music. You give an honest reaction and it really seems like you enjoy listening to songs that people suggest. Subscribed! By the way, Audioslave Gasoline in New York is a song you don't want to miss. The live version is better than studio in my opinion. Give it a listen with all of us around!
I’m almost disappointed you didn’t notice the beer keg being smacked by a baseball bat throughout. One of the coolest songs to see live, and bands really. Nine members all doing different things, somehow synchronized into a sort of controlled chaos that is unbelievably powerful to witness. Check out “Prosthetics” next for a bit of their earlier, darker side... 🤘🤙
You're helping me notice things that I've missed so many times in listening to this track. I appreciate what you're doing with your channel. Thank you, from a struggling musician!
Listen to the song "The Shape" from their Iowa album, it's super interesting from the sound point of view. One of their most underrated songs in my honest opinion
Damn i love sitting back and getting medicated and listening to your take on a lot of types or music. I just listened to your take on TOOL and I'm so happy you did that!! Thank you brother
An old boss of mine is in this video, one of the many extras in the background. Always thaught it was cool to have a (great) boss who was in a Slipknot video.
When I play pitch harmonics I turn my pick a certain way so that the pick hits first but the string gets muted quickly by my thumb. I actually learned pinch harmonics because of this song a few years back
About the jazz-metal thing; going to parties with musicians you’ll see metalheads by themselves, the pop and rnb folks won’t really mingle. The same goes for jazzers, they’ll be sitting by themselves and no one wants to talk (it’s gonna get all technical and who wants that). Then the jazzers see the metalheads, at first a bit put off by the tattoos, beards and attitude…the metalheads a bit put off by the fact that the jazzers aren’t pissed and have had a shave, and nice pants, then they’ll sit down and talk measures and tempo, times and syncopations for hours. A musical match made in heaven. Musical nerds to a fault. I love it.
Love the channel. To get the pinch harmonic, most people including myself, when picking the string just dig in a little more and touch the string straight after with your thumb just above the pick. The pitch changes depending on where on the length of the string you pick. I hope that makes sense lol.
Yep, I just shift my thumb down towards the pick point slightly and pick straight through. Sounds like they're getting one that would be notated or in tablature, so either just slightly above the bridge pup or a little higher toward the neck
This was a fantastic appraisal; Slipknot we're a hard one for me to get into when I was a teenager as they had a bit of a reputation for being 'too heavy', whereas these days into my late 20s I exist on a diet of death metal and black metal hahahaha. Oh how I wish young me could see me now! Anyway, thanks for all the videos you do, your style, chill, mellow vibe and expert knowledge and affable personality make you my go to when I want to be entertained, informed and relaxed. Thanks Geebz! A quick side note - if you have any room left at all on your ever growing list of songs to check out (and please take care not to get burnt out - I don't want you to ever stop!) I would be ecstatic if you could check out either 1) some newer stuff by Dir En Grey, or 2) anything by a band called Moonsorrow. They are a hypnotic blend of black metal, folk, Prog, and pagan music and to me are like a viking version of Tool haha
I don't know how to play any instrument but I've always loved music and been into more then just listening to songs I like. I've always really enjoyed and appreciated the subtle things you explain. You've taught me an assload about tracks I've always loved. Thank you!!
Slipknot has always had a special place in my playlist in life. My older brother had a few singles from _Iowa_ and _Vol. 3,_ on his ipod and I happened to come across and buy _All Hope Is Gone_ and played that album maybe 500 times front to back. _Gehenna_ has one of my fav solos from them and leads into an outro that feels like it goes on and on. _'Til We Die_ has a fantastic and almost haunting melody that chills you and always makes me happy going back to. Love the vid's Geebz! Keep them coming, awwright!
7:54: "I love that one-measure turnaround before the hook." Agreed - one of my favorite things about this song. Maybe not very technical, but this whole song is fun to play on guitar because of the rhythm oddities.
I love the Knot. Got to see them live with Lamb of God and Bullet for my Valentine a couple years ago. Great show. They were alternating set lists every night for that tour. My night was one of the ones where they *didn't* play my two favorite songs that were on the other setlist, but still had the best time. Those two songs I didn't get to hear them play were The Negative One and Purity.
And he did the full version-! Nobody does the full version! Awwww, *&%6 yea, Senpai, do it to me [....did I use that word correctly...? Senpai...? My bad if not]
Geebz is just messing with us... he's a closet maggot for sure. "I push my fingers into my eyes" as he pushes his fingers into his eyes. Decomposes 'Before I Forget', then says he forgets the name of the last song he did by them. What's next?
Geebs, you are killing me, man! Not only are your comments gold, your questions are, too! I love that you say you know enough guitar to be dangerous, that totally sounds like an audio engineer comment to make. (I am an audio engineer and guitar player of 3 decades.) I happen to have a friend who I'm not kidding, is named Thor, who taught me, what I would consider to be the one right way to do "pinched harmonics." You figure out where all of the harmonic nodes are, in whatever way is comfortable to you. You can just run your hand up and down the fretboard while picking, or you can do so-called touch harmonics to find all of the spots.... Once you know the spots, the most exact way to coax them out of your instrument is to espouse a very specific technique with your picking hand. Hold pic firmly between them and forefinger, and, on the downstroke, you brush somewhere around the first joint of your thumb knuckle against the string in question at literally the same moment that you pick the string. Practice moving your picking hand up and down the length of each string to find the nodes that you earlier discovered. There are nodes across the fretboard and nodes that extend beyond the fretboard. You can use the nodes that extend beyond the fretboard to modify what you're playing on the fretboard.... I know this is needlessly long, but please know that I am one of your best fans. I haven't yet expressed that with a cup of coffee, but I promise to do that in the near future, and now that I know that you're doing lyrical breakdowns on patreon, I plan to foray into that. I love your content. You have inspired me to keep doing what I love when I'm not at work, doing my day job, which isn't music related, of course... As long as you care to keep putting these videos out, I will watch them! Also, when I say "one right way," I mean for me, not everyone. I struggled with learning this technique for almost a year, so please know I'm coming from a very humble place when I tell you these things. Also, learning this technique has been an instrumental part of me becoming a better player, and definitely a more nuanced player, so, as someone who loves your content, I just felt the need to chime in. Be well, and I can't wait to see you next video! (Just for your own market research purposes, I came here from tool, but love korn, too!)
This is the song that made me fall in love with pinch harmonics. Please check out after the burial - behold the crown. The most epic use of pinch harmonics ever.
I'm not a huge Slipknot fan but my husband is, and he's got a great ear for the kind of music I DO like. You should give Spiders a listen, I loved it and all its little nuances and the fact that they actually dusted off their keyboardist and propped him up for an entire song!
Lovin your channel!!! Seems like you do some of the more popular slipknot songs…which is cool. If you wanna get off the beaten path…2 songs… 1. Gently 2. The shape The shape makes me wanna run thru a wall!!! Keep up the good work my man!
Hey Geebz, thanks for the hard work you put into your channel and hope you're enjoying the ride! I just wanted to point out that lately you've been suggesting that people go to your channel and use the search bar within it to find specific bands you've done reactions for, but that doesn't work on the YT phone app or the PS4 app. I dunno if it works on the normal site on PC (I almoat never use PC) but if I search from your channel on my phone it searches all of YT, not limited to within your channel. Just fyi if no one else mentioned it. Thanks dude! :)
Band-Maid has a little mini cover of this. Which, btw, this is my gentle, erstwhile reminder to check out Band-Maid when you get the chance. The MV's for Domination or Warning! are gonna be a lot of fun for you to dissect.
🍺🍺BEER KEG HITS? Wow, I knew I heard a layered percussive sound behind the snare but I spaced the mention - so cool!!!🔥

When I do pinch harmonics, I use the side of my thumb right as pick the string.
yeah do them the same way pick hits the string first then once the string is released from the pick it hits the side of my thumb
The only way I know is pinch harmonics
That's how everyone I know does it
That's the way my guitar teacher showed me too.
Weirdly, I use my middle finger on my right hand to hit the harmonic. I know it's weird, but works for me

An old boss of mine is in this video, one of the many extras in the background. Always thaught it was cool to have a (great) boss who was in a Slipknot video.
When I play pitch harmonics I turn my pick a certain way so that the pick hits first but the string gets muted quickly by my thumb. I actually learned pinch harmonics because of this song a few years back
I'm not even a big slipknot fan but I fucking love this tune.
Psychosocial is another that I'm addicted to
About the jazz-metal thing; going to parties with musicians you’ll see metalheads by themselves, the pop and rnb folks won’t really mingle. The same goes for jazzers, they’ll be sitting by themselves and no one wants to talk (it’s gonna get all technical and who wants that). Then the jazzers see the metalheads, at first a bit put off by the tattoos, beards and attitude…the metalheads a bit put off by the fact that the jazzers aren’t pissed and have had a shave, and nice pants, then they’ll sit down and talk measures and tempo, times and syncopations for hours. A musical match made in heaven. Musical nerds to a fault. I love it.
Cynic, Atheist, Human era Death comes to mind
I don't know why, but this song sounds SO emotional. Love this !!
Love the channel. To get the pinch harmonic, most people including myself, when picking the string just dig in a little more and touch the string straight after with your thumb just above the pick. The pitch changes depending on where on the length of the string you pick. I hope that makes sense lol.
Yep, I just shift my thumb down towards the pick point slightly and pick straight through. Sounds like they're getting one that would be notated or in tablature, so either just slightly above the bridge pup or a little higher toward the neck
@@ryangross714 you can go up and down the string and get a ton of deferent notes whilst fretting the same note, though some are better than others
Some slipknot for the decomposer eh? Siiiiick!!! Love to see it man. Happy the channel is blowin up a little too!!
The Dillinger Escape Plan - Paranoia Shield
Or, One of Us is the Killer
Or...... The Mullet Burden! 😜
Or..... We Are the Storm!! Panasonic Youth.... 😬😬🤘🤘
PRANCER live!
Or Unretrofied! That song kicks ass
I'm so happy that you did this🤘 I'm plugging you on my Facebook page lol keep doing what you do✊ ALRIGHT!!
Please consider: The Faceless - Planetary Duality pt.1&2.
Honestly; he’d love the sample in the beginning
Ayyy, I’m down with that
You'll definitely like "Left Behind" off their album "Iowa". Still one of the best tracks they ever made.
Left behind introduced me to slipknot when I was 12, lol I still remember being afraid of the video but liking the song 😂😂😂
Such a fun song! I was actually in the music video!
Guys, who else thinks he will really enjoy Opeth - Eternal rains will come?
💯💯 Though Moon Above, Sun Below would be solid as well.
YES!
Or the drapery falls. But yes any Opeth.
Geebz, you get the full Slipknot experience listening to them playing a festival.
Wait and Bleed, Heretic's Anthem, Disasterpiece, or Pulse of the Maggots next please.
Did you catch the part at 6:11 when Clown hits the beer keg with a bat??
This was a fantastic appraisal; Slipknot we're a hard one for me to get into when I was a teenager as they had a bit of a reputation for being 'too heavy', whereas these days into my late 20s I exist on a diet of death metal and black metal hahahaha. Oh how I wish young me could see me now!
Anyway, thanks for all the videos you do, your style, chill, mellow vibe and expert knowledge and affable personality make you my go to when I want to be entertained, informed and relaxed. Thanks Geebz!
A quick side note - if you have any room left at all on your ever growing list of songs to check out (and please take care not to get burnt out - I don't want you to ever stop!) I would be ecstatic if you could check out either 1) some newer stuff by Dir En Grey, or 2) anything by a band called Moonsorrow. They are a hypnotic blend of black metal, folk, Prog, and pagan music and to me are like a viking version of Tool haha
quickly becoming my favorite reaction channel. How about some more Metallica? Something like Orion would be great. :)
I don't know how to play any instrument but I've always loved music and been into more then just listening to songs I like. I've always really enjoyed and appreciated the subtle things you explain. You've taught me an assload about tracks I've always loved. Thank you!!
PLEASE do "Snuff" by Slipknot.
No comment on the aluminum bat against the keg?? Great reaction, as always. Thanks!!
Slipknot is so heavy, they need multiple drummers, including a percussionist and a concussionist.
😁
Did the wielding of the bat constitute the concussionist? Lol
@@jessicashenefield1546 yeah, if they don't hit the empty beer keg at the right angle it just might be 🤣
Dude, I my deepest respect to you for the huge broadband of variety of the songs you analyse. Like it.
How about doing some classic prog? Like Firth of Fifth by Genesis?
Bro, your comments at the end are everything. 🙏
Absolutely needs to be noted that an empty keg is being blasted with an aluminum baseball bat throughout the "composition"
this "alright!" intonation of yours reminds me of the beginning of a Limp Bizkit's song called Rollin' from back ago, when I still was a kid, lol
I don't really listen to Slipknot, but this song slaps hard.
You should listen to Slipknot
Yes Listen to them all their albums are great!
Slipknot has always had a special place in my playlist in life. My older brother had a few singles from _Iowa_ and _Vol. 3,_ on his ipod and I happened to come across and buy _All Hope Is Gone_ and played that album maybe 500 times front to back.
_Gehenna_ has one of my fav solos from them and leads into an outro that feels like it goes on and on. _'Til We Die_ has a fantastic and almost haunting melody that chills you and always makes me happy going back to.
Love the vid's Geebz! Keep them coming, awwright!
"selkies" by between the buried and me. Geebz...trust me.
I was thinking Extremophile elite, but Selkies is a solid choice as well.
He'd trip over the outro(edit) and what they worked into that. 😂
Yes!! BTBM is a great rabbit hole to go down!
No no, Swim to the Moon. I want that 40 min video
OMG I busted out laughing that you literally were pushing your fingers into your eyes right as the music started...
The next time you need to do Headup by Deftones I beg you! It give me goosbumbs it's amazing, BTW you are awesome
I love Love LOVE Deftones but will 100% skip that track every time. Please any other song, but def hit up Deftones some more!
@@apairofpetducks6203 Beauty School or Knife Party..
7:54: "I love that one-measure turnaround before the hook." Agreed - one of my favorite things about this song. Maybe not very technical, but this whole song is fun to play on guitar because of the rhythm oddities.
Do "from the sky" by Protest the Hero
I love the Knot. Got to see them live with Lamb of God and Bullet for my Valentine a couple years ago. Great show. They were alternating set lists every night for that tour. My night was one of the ones where they *didn't* play my two favorite songs that were on the other setlist, but still had the best time.
Those two songs I didn't get to hear them play were The Negative One and Purity.
And he did the full version-! Nobody does the full version!
Awwww, *&%6 yea, Senpai, do it to me
[....did I use that word correctly...? Senpai...? My bad if not]
My concern was not with senpai I'll tell you that
@@akhmedthemerchant4741 Don't hate the love of the 'knot
xp
Fit For An Autopsy - Absolute Hope Absolute Hell, darkest song ever but so well put together
That’s the only one of theirs I’d recommend
Geebz is just messing with us... he's a closet maggot for sure.
"I push my fingers into my eyes" as he pushes his fingers into his eyes.
Decomposes 'Before I Forget', then says he forgets the name of the last song he did by them.
What's next?
Vaguely remembering dead memories.
Geebs, you are killing me, man! Not only are your comments gold, your questions are, too! I love that you say you know enough guitar to be dangerous, that totally sounds like an audio engineer comment to make. (I am an audio engineer and guitar player of 3 decades.) I happen to have a friend who I'm not kidding, is named Thor, who taught me, what I would consider to be the one right way to do "pinched harmonics." You figure out where all of the harmonic nodes are, in whatever way is comfortable to you. You can just run your hand up and down the fretboard while picking, or you can do so-called touch harmonics to find all of the spots.... Once you know the spots, the most exact way to coax them out of your instrument is to espouse a very specific technique with your picking hand. Hold pic firmly between them and forefinger, and, on the downstroke, you brush somewhere around the first joint of your thumb knuckle against the string in question at literally the same moment that you pick the string. Practice moving your picking hand up and down the length of each string to find the nodes that you earlier discovered. There are nodes across the fretboard and nodes that extend beyond the fretboard. You can use the nodes that extend beyond the fretboard to modify what you're playing on the fretboard.... I know this is needlessly long, but please know that I am one of your best fans. I haven't yet expressed that with a cup of coffee, but I promise to do that in the near future, and now that I know that you're doing lyrical breakdowns on patreon, I plan to foray into that. I love your content. You have inspired me to keep doing what I love when I'm not at work, doing my day job, which isn't music related, of course... As long as you care to keep putting these videos out, I will watch them! Also, when I say "one right way," I mean for me, not everyone. I struggled with learning this technique for almost a year, so please know I'm coming from a very humble place when I tell you these things. Also, learning this technique has been an instrumental part of me becoming a better player, and definitely a more nuanced player, so, as someone who loves your content, I just felt the need to chime in. Be well, and I can't wait to see you next video! (Just for your own market research purposes, I came here from tool, but love korn, too!)
One of my favourite guitar riffs - sweet spot 0 and 1 drop B with the pinch harmonics from two different guitarists; fantastic
This is the song that made me fall in love with pinch harmonics. Please check out after the burial - behold the crown. The most epic use of pinch harmonics ever.
Love that you're getting started with Vol 3, I think it's their most accessible and still at times most brutal record.
I love watching you react facially to the composition. It reminds me of the old days lmao!
I'm not a huge Slipknot fan but my husband is, and he's got a great ear for the kind of music I DO like. You should give Spiders a listen, I loved it and all its little nuances and the fact that they actually dusted off their keyboardist and propped him up for an entire song!
I have so many requests brother. I'll buy cups of coffee!
Lovin your channel!!!
Seems like you do some of the more popular slipknot songs…which is cool. If you wanna get off the beaten path…2 songs…
1. Gently
2. The shape
The shape makes me wanna run thru a wall!!!
Keep up the good work my man!
Hey Geebz, thanks for the hard work you put into your channel and hope you're enjoying the ride! I just wanted to point out that lately you've been suggesting that people go to your channel and use the search bar within it to find specific bands you've done reactions for, but that doesn't work on the YT phone app or the PS4 app. I dunno if it works on the normal site on PC (I almoat never use PC) but if I search from your channel on my phone it searches all of YT, not limited to within your channel. Just fyi if no one else mentioned it. Thanks dude! :)
Band-Maid has a little mini cover of this. Which, btw, this is my gentle, erstwhile reminder to check out Band-Maid when you get the chance. The MV's for Domination or Warning! are gonna be a lot of fun for you to dissect.
Agreed. Seeing a Band-Maid video from Geebz would be a highlight for sure. And of course their fanbase loves an intelligent breakdown.
