SLIPKNOT Vermillion Composer Reaction and Dissection The Decomposer Lounge
Part 2 is a whole different mood.
You should do Vermillion part 2 on Patreon. You will be amazed at how similar, yet so different from this arrangement. The lyrics have a subtle change as well.
Polar opposite
Incredibly beautiful side of Slipknot on PT. 2. Then right after that you have The Nameless, which is like Vermillion parts 1&2 mashed together with a Mr. Bungle circus bridge part. This is such a good Slipknot album.
The better of the two
Part 2 was my favorite Slipknot song for years
Paul's bass really was a major part of what made this era of slipknot so great
This is the goddamn truth. His and Joey's writing made made this band more dynamic. It's why newer slipknot releases are a bit more hollow and homogeneous
The scream at 13:25 is one of my favorite Slipknot moments.
Always a treat when slipknot is involved. Even better when it's Geebz' video.
Also, Rest in peace Joey. I don't think any of us fans will get over this loss.
Y'all think the band will continue? For some reason I just can't see it. I'm sure people said the same thing when Paul passed, but still. RIP Kings
@@A_Salted_Fishe Joey hadn’t been in the band for years, so yeah, they’ll continue. Joey said he wanted them to, regardless of him being in the band or not. I have to admit I haven’t followed them as closely since his exit though.
@@A_Salted_Fishe I'm pretty sure they'll keep going since Joey left the band years ago when he got sick. Jay Weinberg has played on the last 2 albums already.
@@Misrabelle Slipknot really hasn't been the same without Joey and Paul. I still listen to new music from them when it's released, but I'm just not all that invested or excited by it anymore.
@@ResurrectionDreams have you heard their latest song? It sounds like all their albums mixed together imo
Vermillion is definitely the song that showcased their arranging skills the most. If the instruments were switched over to an orchestra, it would still work perfectly (especially at the end of the song). The tremolo behind the chorus sounds like something a violin would lay out
But now... They gave us 'solway firth'.
You know he's digging it when he doesn't pause for minutes on end :D
Joey and Paul really stand out this song, and i remember it was one of the first slipknot songs I heard with Corey putting more focus on melodic cleans. Then of course, Pt.2 hit me.
and yes, the toybox part (something i never noticed until now!) is layered beneath the band to some extent in little 3-note phrases at the end of each bar around 13:30!
Now you just HAVE to react to Vermillion PT2. For me, one of the best ballads ever written.
Wouldn't it be sick if he did them back to back lol
Vol. 3 will always be my favorite album. Mainly because when I got really into this band it was right before this album released. So it was the first album I got to experience brand new and fresh. This album also just had a new style that I really loved as I was very young when I got into them. I used to fall asleep listening to this album every night.
I first heard about them right after Vol 3 came out. One of my friends showed it to me in school. We were in 7th grade I think. I bought my own copy and have never stopped listening to it
@@grenade.turtle My brother was super into them and I used to watch the disasterpieces DVD, so when he bought this album I basically stole it haha.
Vol.3 and AHIG are way too underrated. Both tie as my favorites
Your Steve Vai comment cracked me up! I'm good friend with Mick Thomson from Slipknot, after his wedding a hand full of people went back his place to freshen up before going out.... what did I see? Out the 200+ guitars he owns, his Jem was one he 4-5 guitars on stands next to his practice amp. #truestory
If anyone ever says Metal is just noise, I always recommend they listen to Slipknot or Mudvayne. Musicianship is off the charts. Late great Joey Jordison on drums for slipknot and Ryan Martini bass lines for Mudvayne are ridiculously amazing 🤙
I feel like the band to show people who have doubts about musicality is Gojira. It's so very explicitly musical.
If he's going with Mudvayne, I'd have to recommend: -1, Cradle, Nothing to Gein, Severed, or (k)Now F(orever) for the bass lines. He has one of the most unique/difficult styles in all of metal.
Mudvayne's bassist is a monster❤🤟
This is the first time that I've seen anyone call Mudvayne metal, lmao
@@MetalxLicaxPP Mudvayne is technically considered Nu Metal. But if you don't think Mudvayne would be in the metal category, I recommend the whole L.D. 50 album. I agree anything after that album, they could be considered something else!
One of my all time favorite Slipknot tracks... A song that was part of controversy when it came out (though not as much so as it's sequal).
This is in my opinion Corey Taylor's most underrated vocal performances; A simple but incredibly memorable repeated hook... And that projected and faded scream towards the end is honestly one of my favorites if their entire discography... As someone who's karaoke'd this a few times, it'll nearly knock you out to belt it out.
I have long thought that Volume 3 is their most finely produced albums. The songs blend, morph, and bleed into one another. Every track is placed metuliculously for effect and the album is a vast journey from beginning to end.
What was the controversy all about?
Agreed.
This track is a perfect combination of breathing in and breathing out! The whole build-up of the song, the threatening percussion and the way Taylor uses his whispering-Patton-vocals before he starts singing "cleaner" notes is dark and keeps you on the edge of your seat.
After that the light shines through and you can sit back and relax (and bang your head a little).
I dig the production of this track (and record as a whole), it is dry and gritty.
Geebz, you should check out Vermillion Pt. 2, which is on the same album, nice transition.
Keep it up man! Keep it up!
This is my favourite Slipknot album, and it made me sad hearing the band dislikes it so much. Yes, it was more accessible compared to their earlier stuff, but the combination of hard rock songs, the electronic alternative tinge and the few songs that are slower, and more emotionally revealing make this LP a truly interesting listen.
When ever I drive by a sign to Vermillion, MN or Iowa, I think of this song.
With as many cities called Vermillion as there are, the only reasonable explanation is that a Slipknot loving time traveler helped settle the Midwest.
Love this
Or maybe that's where they got the name of the song from, seeing as they're FROM Iowa
@JohnKerans you don't say. Almost as if this was implied in the original comment.
Vermillion is what they used to call a type of red color and pigment, or paint. I guess all these city's are close to body's of water that are also called Vermillion. They were able to find this pigment vermillion in some of these lakes and rivers, and some just had red mud. I'm guessing Cory is identifying with the color, but who knows.
On the guitar tone, I believe Mick and Jim used EMG pickups(correct me if i am wrong) these pickups are active. They are powered by a battery and have a pre amp with them. They are very tight sounding with crunchy uppers but can sound sterile to some. I personally think in this type of music they tame the guitars sound making it more focused.
100% sir, you need to do a lyrical dissection of part 1 and 2 together. Such a beautiful yet heartbreaking story when put together.
That scream followed by the guitar solo gives me chills everytime I hear that. One of my favorite songs from Slipknot for shure. Sounds amazing!
One of my favourite track from Slipknot, it was very unusual and fresh for the band at that time.
You could definitely check as well the Pt.2 of this song which was even more unusual for the band.
Keep up the great stuff mate!
Love Vermillion pt 2...its probably my favorite song by slipknot
Fudge me!! A Steve Vai mention?!? I've been watching your channel for a while but now I'm definitely subscribing! Well done sir!
Commented on an older deftones video but I forgot to mention a couple recommendations to add to the impossibly large list; enslaved’s “as fire swept clean the earth” and “one thousand years of rain”. The entire below the lights album is a treat ^.^
Vermillion is one of my favorites - also have gotta do "If Rain is What You Want"
Great song. Such emotional ending. That loneliness in the end of music video makes me almost cry. I fill it every time when i hear this song.
Yes! More Slipknot! This countdown has been super fun!
You have been doing an awesome job. Having a lot of great bands. Keep kicking azz!
Damn, I love watching and listening you so much and often feel connected to you by what you say and express about this music. Big thanks!
Watching you feel the music is pretty entertaining to me. Especially because I know what's coming. Glad you're enjoying this! Also your reaction To AAL "the Brain Dance" priceless!
Dude your a badass, keep it up 🤘🏼
Love your channel! Thanks for taking a look at this song. So much raw emotion in the vocals. Rip Joey and Paul
The vocals and guitar on this tune reminds me of GST-era Pantera a fair bit
Looove Vermillion Pt 1 AND Pt 2. Great pick!
THIS... ALL of this!! Slipknot will always be one of my favorites... Corey always kills it with his incredible vocal abilities, and he has amazing people around him making each song insane. Very interested in seeing you go back to Iowa and hitting My Plague, Everything Ends or Left Behind! Great reaction as always!
Just learned this on drums. The guitar solo/drum part is so creative and fun to play. Awesome song.
Maaan you have to do part 2 now! Nice
I remember waiting up so late at night during college to catch this song/ music video on MTV. Its one of my favorite slipknot songs and the video is really cool too.
Ended up picking up a set of those AKG headphones, they are amazing! thanks for the suggestion.
Geebz! Love ya , Love the Channel 🤘. Long time viewer, first time commenter. Let's fast forward to their new album and review 'NERO FORTE' . I believe you will love this side of the Knot as they mix Metal with a little falsetto / a cappellaish feel. Thanks man.
ALOHA 🤙
Please do pt 2! (Great reaction btw)
Geebz I really love that you cover not only my own taste in music, but many of my friends' taste as well. Awwwright!
Listen to Vermilion, Pt. 2
Its a continuation of this song but its a whole different mood from this one. But its beautiful and a great song. At times, I prefer Vermilion, Pt. 2 over this version.
The Chapeltown Rag from Slipknot next should be interesting!
My favourite Slipknot song of all time.
I’d buy that coffee sir! Much mahlos for the vids, bro.
always appreciate when you point out the bass line
I've been following your channel almost from the start, and not only did it help me improve "my ear" while listening to music it also helped me train my focus while listening.
Following your channel guided me through a dificult period and thanks for that and for the free mixing leasons :D Keep on the awesome work, the great and positive attitude as well as all of the awesome work that you do! All the best Geebz!!
Thank you so much for your comment, Nikola :)
@@KeyOfGeebz nothing but the truth! Keep up with the awesome work :)
Oh man that solo. Gives me chills every time. So tasty
Hey Geebz, just want to say I appreciate you reacting to album versions of songs. A lot of folks do the music videos which sometimes have cut down radio edits. Admittedly the video version of this song isn't too egregious, but they do remove a decent chunk of the guitar solo.
Wow Thanks so much Geebes 🙏
Really enjoyed this.
That hook you mention is woven throughout the whole album. If you manage to find the time ....Vol3 needs be listed to in its entirety as one concept😎
One week to go 🤓👍
I've been watching your videos for months and I realized today I never subscribed. I fixed that. Keep up these great dissections!
Slipknot's Vermillion should be listened to with both parts part 1 & 2 together it's like Slipknot's masterpiece opus
thanks for actually listening to the music you "react" to. most people literally just play the track and then say "thanks, comment below for next reaction" with no comments on the music itself. thanks
Pls. Do part 2 of this!!!!!
One of the best Slipknot songs, so haunting and tense. Love it.
man, you need react a sepultura - Roots blody roots, this is a brazilian band that mixes drums and a lot of brazilian culture with a very heavy sound and frenetic drums
Love you man 🤘❤🎵
the combo of Jim's orange rockerverb 100 and whatever Rivera Mick was using definitely help with their sound
U really need to dive into there first album. Records like “wait and bleed” “eyeless” and “sic” are on a wholllllleee nother level. Incredible records! Good luck with the surgery geebz! God bless 🙏
YES FINALLY SLIPKNOT! 😍one of my favorite bands ever and also one my fav songs by them!! So stoked to watch this!
That whole album is just 😳🤯🤤🖤🤘🏻
I love the way you say “All right!”
For some cool sound / mix, check out Virus of Life by Slipknot
Mudvayne has a secret song, I think on their Japanese album? Song called Goodbye that also uses toy box sound.
Geebz! I’ve been watching your videos for months now and I really love your insight into musicianship and just the overall art form. I want to hear your opinion on the band Swans. You are the one reaction channel that would do a proper reaction I firmly believe. Please do Swans - The Glowing Man. It will be one of the more intriguing and intense songs you’ve ever heard and reviewed. I’ll love you forever, even though I already do! Much love Geebz! Swans - The Glowing Man!
One of my favorite Slipknot songs!
Interesting what you said about trill picking.
I remember all those issues, but once it clicks, you can keep it going for bars and bars!
Thanks Geebz
this song hits so hard live! you really feel it in your chest
Hey, Geebz! Love your breakdowns. If you ever find yourself with extra time, I would love to hear your thoughts on X Japan - Art of Life. Just came over from your March of the Pigs video and you were talking about Trent Reznor shaping his sound. Another artist I know that shapes sound is Klayton from Celldweller (et al). Just walls of synth boards, some home made. He really has an ear for sound shapes as well! Mahalo Nui Loa!
The band you don't remember for the baritonal vocal is Type O negative. Hope you react to this great band again. If you want, I suggest the songs "black no. 1" or "Christian woman". Have a great day!
Please do “The Last Baron” by Mastodon, you won’t regret it.
Slipknot is great. Vermillion pt.2 might be my favorite. Love that mellow metal. Got to see Stone Sour live years ago Corey Taylor is wonderful.
That steady 16th note pick is a Mick Thompson specialty.
What I love about this song is the measure of waltz in it
The differing tonality of the guitars is just another layer of a multitude of things that make their music so complex and sonically beautiful. Jim favors fender, his tones are much sweeter and warmer, while Mick uses Ibanez and usually has a harsher more brutal tone. You can always identify who is playing just based on their individual sounds. The solo in this song is performed by Mick. Wild, chaotic and screaming with very fast picking and bending notes. Jim’s solos usually contain more sweeping arpeggios and going up and down scales.
cant wait for part 2 haha
Severed by Mudvayne! You’ll love everything especially the bass track
My apologies if you've already done it, going through your videos today so I guess I'll find out soon, but if not you should check out their song the virus of life off the same album. One of my all time favorite songs of theirs and I think it's pretty underated. Really shows off every instrument in the band well and I wish they had more songs like it
This album is so good 🤘
Do the new Coheed and Cambria track 'Rise, Naianasha.' You'll love the timing signature bit in the intro and the way the track opens up.
Thank you very much ! You reacted to the "complete" version of the song ( there`s a radio version) which is much better.
The whole album is a masterpiece in my opinion and made so that one song ends with the next songs beginning. If not for reaction , just listen to it front to back.
PS. Every time Vermilion finishes I can not not hear "This is the year that hope fails you...." 😁
I feel like I notice things I've never heard before just by watching him listen to these songs lol
I would love to see you make super cool beans merch, maybe a coffee mug?
(if you want i could even design you a classic Coffeeshop logo for it 😉)
❤️Joey❤️
Hey Geebz, when do we get to hear some of your compositions? I'm intrigued. Would also love to see you do some Glassjaw.
3:34 that part is the most overlooked, wish it was longer
lowkey one of the best slipknot songs
This was the last Slipknot album I was into, and this song is a real feather in their cap. Though their new song Chappeltown Rag is the coolest song I've heard from them in years, reignited my interest in them a little.
They'll never have another Subliminal Verses but that's okay. They're still making good music. It's just hard to be as into it after their initial 3 album run because of how high they set the bar
@@CMClaudio1989 AHiG was the last best album
@@rival.888 nah volume 3. Its like the same three album run eminem had, and theyll never be topped.
@@fast_mattw8059 have you listened to the title track? Not to mention the killing name
@@rival.888 Paul clearly had a huge influence on the band
Bass is my favorite. LOL. I'm always attracted to the bass players. Although Joey is my favorite musician....its still usually the bass players for me
im from Malaysia! and Slipknot is Awesome ! 🔥
Great Breakdown, I hope you can get to Whispered when you're done with this, I think you'll like them
'Hard to say what caught my attention. Vixen crazy, aphid attraction.'
I remember when this came out. High expectations cos of how good Iowa was. And they didn't disappoint at all. Corey's extra high pitched screams were a surprise tho lol. He went back to a lower pitch screams in later albums.
Great analysis as usual. This is a great album. I’m not really a Slipknot fan, nut this album is near perfect.
Dude, Eskimo Callboy. I GUARANTEE you will smile at the video and be blown away by the music.
Hell yeah, Geebz!
I don't know if anyone else experiences, but the ads no longer interrupt the song for Jeebz... 🤔🤔🤔 Respect! 😄
Favorite song
Just realized how much Corey Taylor sounds like Jonathan Davis in this track.
Like how someone finally recognizes that the chug isn't all about "more gain."
More gain = less attack.
More gain = more mush.
More gain = less clarrity when picking fast.
This is definitely a case where more = less. Find that balance between how hard you can consistently hit and how much "grrrrrr" you need from the sound.
Don't be a puss, pull back the gain and hit the strings like they stole something from you. There's a reason that Hefield grips his pick with 3 fingers, because he can't get that percussive attack and still hold the pick with two. The pickj just rotates and becomes useless.
Geebz is the goat. He is one of the only reactors that seems to always select the best versions of the songs that he reacts to.
Pt 2 🤘🤘🙏
Mick Thompson in the lead. Jim Root playing the machine gun chugs. RIP Paul Grey. 9:10 🤘🏿🤘🏿💙
Great video. If it interests you, I'd love to hear your thoughts on a song with the new Slipknot lineup, for comparison.
Geebz I'd love to see you check out Where Dead Angels Lie by Dissection. Beautiful song and has that stamina throughout you're referring to. Aloha 🤙
