This show is generally regarded as one of the most iconic metal gigs ever. It was the last time that the orignal line-up played the UK, which was the first place where they became big.
@DC Harrison Can't agree more on that ur ryt they are awesome live i saw them live in 2004 they where oping for Metallica and korn whas there aswel so got 3 great bands on 1 night
I've noticed on alot of Slipknot reaction videos, that even when the reactor starts out against them and not liking them, Slipknot just has a way of winning people over 💘
This was one of the best performances of this song Saw them live once, was absolutely amazing ! It's a great experience, when Corey says Jump Da Fuck Up... totally insane
First timer here, a slipknot fan, I loved your reaction to Spit it Out, and your ending talk about Slipknot in general was spot on. Eyeless is very intense. Not a very new-friendly. If you want to easy yourself in, Duality is a good one. From there, you have two ways to go; to the past, the heavier stuff and to the future, the more melodic stuff. And don't forget Corey's other band "Stone Sour"! PS. With much of Slipknot, live is where it is. You got some great videos (Before I Forget, Vermillions)
Thanks guys!! I told you it was awesome, I knew you would like it. There are bands that must be watched LIVE. Slipknot is one of them, and they sound better live too
Watching Kel's reaction going from "uhm, wtf is this" at 3:46 to "OMG! (shouts and claps)" in the Jump the fuck up part! is just amazing. I watched several videos on your channel; I sincerely loved them. Personally, a good and natural reaction video MUST NOT pause the song you are listening to and you guys are only a few of those who do it. Congratulations for your work! I will subscribe. You deserve a lot more.
@@Kel.N.RichReactions You both rock! lml Now, I would like to invite you to react to this M A S T E R P I E C E. Megadeth - She Wolf (Extended version) Live at Rude Awakening 2001. You will enjoy it a lot! Link: th-cam.com/video/2ZUhiSFKhjU/w-d-xo.html
Nice watching you! I love heavy metal myself, and I find it interesting listening to others react to the music I like. I've always been told my music taste was weird compared to my friends. But it's funny to see if people think the same and have the same "feelings" about it. LOVE SLIPKNOT btw Thanks from Denmark
Finally got to see slipknot live in 2015 and participated in this it was one of the greatest expierences ive ever had the control Corey had of the crowd was truly special the entire arena was shaking
I think you'll really like snuff, dead memories, vermilion, vermilion pt2 The Iowa album is much more intense. Gently and Iowa is slow pace and on the softer side though And also Devil In I and Skeptic, definitely recommend
The first metal show I ever took my wife to was Slipknot. She was so scared and didn't understand it. Now, 2 years later in her metal journey, she begged me to get tickets to see them this year. She's so excited to see them again now that she understands them.
Seriously guys, put them on the concert list. The show is amazing. The vocalist is incredible and the maggots (as their fans are fondly known) are incredibly supportive of each other. Maybe try some of their songs in acoustic format with #CoreyTaylor Live in London Perth, Western Australia
Just found your channel and subscribed. I've seen many reactions to this show and this was by far my favorite right along side Step n Jay Lee's reaction.
Cool. Thank you so much for finding us and giving us that honour of your sub. We will not disappoint!!!!! Welcome to the community. The people here are absolutely outstanding. Rich
Fun fact, Slipknot does the whole “jump the fuck up!” schtick at every concert no matter where they are. They also interact with fans and engage the audience throughout their entire show.
This is the UKs only Metal Festival if you have a chance to go do so it's one hell of a ride,it used to be called Monsters Of ROCK in the 80s,i was there & we all love the Slipnot there shows are awesome,great reaction as always luv you guys
Loved this. I've been checkin' out a few people that react to this, since I was there, and this is by far my fav one. Kel's face was great lmao, loved how you guys were so into it. Got a new subscriber. :)
SlipKnot is on tour don't know where you guys are but I bet they'll be in a venue near you …. highly recommend you go to the show I am in September in the Houston TX area
the "growl" like u say i use too compair to Opera. We have too train the ear to understand the lyrics. But when u do, you're hooked. Awesome to see new maggots my dude and dudette! ps. maggots are the kind hearted nickname of a slipknow fan :) love from Norge!
Slipknot concerts are praised even by people who are not into the genre, these just fascinate anyone. Already spent my money on another festival, recently found one where they're playing and can't afford it atm, such a bummer.
0 dislikes! Yall are too kool for skool...kels i have made it a once or twice weekly ritual seeing what kind of shirt/top your going hit us with & must admit always spot on...tho must further confess today selection makes my eyes somewhat 😥 sad...but hey as the saying goes can't please all the people all the time... besides it's not that serious, more just busting ur nuggets...you guys might remember imma MegadetH guy...its been a blast watching ur success from the beginning!!! I wonder if y'all anticipated such a fast & warm reaction..?
Junnbugg Juniper dearest Junnbugg! As always it is a treat to hear from you. Thank you so much for your great comments, commentary and thoughts. This much is true, we cannot please all of the MetalLand lovers all of the time so we are doing the best we can to sprinkle the love around. My introduction to slipknot was a tad intense but I just leaves me wanting to experience more because I know that all of these amazing bands are more than just what meets the ears, and the eyes. 😉 I wish we had more time every day so that we could just spend all day exploring the wide world of music but alas, we have to put food on the table so we can only spend about eight hours here with all of you a day. More Megadeth is on its way, rest assured! As for all of you quickly and warmly inviting us into your lives and your ears, yes, the warm reception has been a delightful surprise. We had no idea this would happen. We loving doing this with and for all of you and both of us. It quickly became the best part of our day. Thanks for being here with us and sharing the rusty love bro!
Hey guys loved the reaction! This is my first time on your channel and now i am your newest sub :-) Ive been a maggot ((Slipknot's endearing (seriously) term for their fans)) since 2000 which was about a year after their first album came out. I found them at a time that I was coming clean from a drug addiction and since then Slipknot has been my favorite band. Corey's lyrics are incredible, although several of the band members help write lyrics to a lot of the band's songs. He is one of the few singers with a 6 octave voice and the guy can rap too! His other popular band is Stone Sour which is the hard rock band he had fronted for years before some of the Slipknot guys asked him to be their singer. Stone Sour really lets you get to hear the amazing vocal range of the very talented Corey Taylor. I highly suggest you guys check out Stone Sour's latest album which is Hydrograd. It has a really feel good, rock n roll feeling to it (think Rolling Stones but a bit heavier). Heres a little history...The two songs from Slipknot that you've done videos on are from their first album. The second album, Iowa is their most brutal and they did that simply because the record company told them that they wanted something with more radio friendly songs lol. Then Corey got Stone Sour into the studio because although, he loved being in Slipknot, he also loves the more melodic singing that he can do and he felt like he was missing out on some things musically. So they made their first studio album and just like that, Corey was singing for two popular bands. Stone Sour has since released four additional studio albums. One of which, The House Of Gold And Bones Parts 1&2 is a double (kinda concept) album. Slipknot's third album, Vol. 3 The Subliminal Verses is their most melodic and has one of their other most popular songs, Duality. And also has the song Before I Forget which they won a Grammy for. Slipknot's fourth album is All Hope Is Gone which as they said is a mix of the heaviness from the first two albums and the melodic from the third. This album has my request #Slipknot Snuff ColoradoSpringsCO Corey stated in an interview that Snuff was the first song that he fully wrote all the lyrics and music for. He said that normally a slow song like that would be a Stone Sour song but this one was "Slipknot heavy". Heavy being the feeling from it, not the musical style. It is a song he wrote during a time when he was going through a terrible amount bad things and loss...relationship wise and more. He wasn't sure how the band would accept it but it was their bassist Paul Grey who completely got behind it and pushed everyone to play and record it. Approximately a year after the song was released, Paul Grey was found dead from an accidental overdose. Corey and Paul were extremely close so, because of that and because Paul loved that song so much, since Paul's death whenever Corey performs the song he dedicates it to the memory of his fallen brother. The video is absolutely incredible and emotional. It was directed by Slipknot's percussionist Shawn "Clown" Crahan. Even if you do not do a reaction video to it, please do yourself a favor and watch the video. Kel made the great point of how you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, so this will 100% give her statement solid roots :-) Plus it stars Corey...without his mask!! I am sorry for the novel, I just have the utmost respect for that band and especially Corey Taylor. Oh and he has also written four books which have all done very well and are absolutely great reads. He even does solo/book tour concerts which start with a 45 minute stand up comedy-ish routine, followed by a Q&A from audience members and then he plays an acoustic set for over an hour. I have been to two of those shows as well as four Slipknot shows and seven Stone Sour shows. I got to meet Corey at a Stone Sour show and he is insanely down to earth, humble and truly loves his fans. Please do yourself another favor and go see Corey live. Slipknot is the ultimate live but you will not be disappointed one bit with either of the other two live events which he is a part of either.
#Slipknot #MelbourneAustralia Kels smile is so contagious, was great seeing your reaction to my favourite Slipknot performance. Some of my favorites that you guys have gotta react to (on/off camera): From the self titled album ('99): Sic, Liberate, Scissors, Only One. Being from their first album, these songs showcase Slipknot in their most authentic form, the self titled album is definitely the most raw album they have produced. Sic is one of their most iconic songs, being the opening to every live show theyve done and it epitomizes what the band stands for. Liberate and Only One highlights Corey Taylors rapping abilities, as well as the 'in your face', pump you up for a fight feel you got from Eyeless - I found these to be the better Slipknot songs as they aren't as deep and disturbing as their other stuff. Speaking of which, I recommended Scissors just so you could have a look into the insanity they were capable to show - a very dark song, but one of their most progressive ones. From Iowa album ('01): Some say the Iowa album is their most brutal and disturbing album, in which I would agree but I found it to be a little contrived in some of the tracks. None the less, I rank it closly behind the first album and it contains some of my all time favourites which I'd love for you to listen to which include: People = Shit (As poetic as the name suggests, also I recommend watching the live performance from London in '02 for a video despite it being less cohesive than the studio version), Gently, Heretic Anthem and Disasterpiece. All very heavy songs, with the band saying this was the darkest time for the band (i'm talking drugs, alcoholism, hatred for eachother, death (refer to 555), and self harm (Read up on the story of the song Iowa). Other great songs from Slipknot between then and now: - Vermillion Part 2 - Snuff (Recommend the Acoustic version performed by Corey live) - Psychosocial - Dead Memories - Gematria - Killpop - Devil In I - Custer What you'll find from some of these songs is a gentle side of Slipknot which you would not have known existed judging by their earlir work. Theres structure to these songs and their more melodic with minimal screaming, as you get to hear more levels to Coreys vocal range which changes not only with his age but to the tone of slower songs. I know this is long but I thought I'd let you know a little about the band! I actually quite enjoyed writing this comment lol. Hope you guys see this in which case I hope you both have a lovely day! - from all the way down under
You guys are awesome. I'm from chicago and love Metallica like you. I also love a metal band named BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. You guys have to react to they're cover of Metallica's Blackened. Its so epic
Guys please check out Iron Maiden's Paschendale and or Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Live Flight 666) and or Sign of the Cross (Live Rock in Rio). Those are 3 of their best epic songs with all kinds of changes and build ups that end up in eargasm city. You wont regret it! We know what you want and thats epic Maiden! Lol
Great reaction guys, kel you went from not blinking in fear from the masks to giggling like a kid in a candy shop at the end. You should try stone sour to see the man behind the mask. Try "through glass"
Hi Kel..ur looking beautiful as usual...oh u look swell to as well man...haha..I'm playing. I really love that u guys bond over this music...wish I had someone to enjoy my love of this music as u guys do....u guys really are meant for eachother...I'm a dude but seeing real love still touches me in the heart deeply...I'm truly happy for u both to have such a bond...it's a beautiful thing
If you want an easier and less "harsh" entrance to Slipknot, I'd suggest some of their more "mainstream" songs: Before I Forget, Duality and Psychosocial. There's of course lots of other great ones, but these are good for beginners (I think)
This show is generally regarded as one of the most iconic metal gigs ever. It was the last time that the orignal line-up played the UK, which was the first place where they became big.
It was also Paul´s last gig.
:(
I was there, first Download festival. Awesomeness. And when we all jumped, the ground shook. A lot.
John Young wow! Awesome!!!
Love it! We can’t wait to go!
John Young 😭 I’m so jealous
You beat me to it for me saying I was in that crowd!!! 10 years ago now wow, brilliant weekend!
I dream of attending one slipknots concert. And manys not in the band anymore. 😭🥲
Been to plenty myself here in the states, can’t imagine how that had to have felt
This will give you another surprise from Slipknot.
Do Snuff.
Yes!!!!!!!! And vermillion pt 2
Those are my least faves.
Or circle !
Snuff is a must to experience yet another side of this band.
Oh yes, #slipknot suff, the video clip. Hail from Brazil!
Kel, your face whith the turning drumbs was priceless
😁
If you dare, I recommend the official video for ''The devil in I''
And #Kilpop and #Psychosocial video or studio w/ lyrics not live
try day of the gusano
I am Ferguso great live album🤘🤘
@Keegan Schaffrin 😂 I hadn't notice. I'm 'drumb'. And m and n are next to each other, so...
Thanx!
@Keegan Schaffrin nooo! I just realized I wrote drumBs . I'm dumber than I thought 😂😂
Take care of yourselves and take care of each other!!
Pretty much says it all lol
#DreamTheater The Dark Eternal Night Tuscany italy
I love how he always says that keeps the metal culture going mosh like hell but always pick em up and make sure theyre good haha
Slipknot gigs are like being transported to another world man. Amazing group. Been a fan of them since 2003. Awesome reaction as well!
Definitely a band y'all need to see live. I saw them in 2000 and it was like watching my first KISS concert in 76 lol
@DC Harrison Can't agree more on that ur ryt they are awesome live i saw them live in 2004 they where oping for Metallica and korn whas there aswel so got 3 great bands on 1 night
Couldnt ask for a better reaction from both of you. Slipknot is the real deal.
🤘 I was there! Nothing comes close to the incredible feeling of letting go all your inner hurt along with Slipknot🤘
I've noticed on alot of Slipknot reaction videos, that even when the reactor starts out against them and not liking them, Slipknot just has a way of winning people over 💘
What a wholesome reaction! I love it. I was actually there about a quarter back from the stage. Amazing!!
unbelievable show. I was there and I'll never forget it 🤘
This was one of the best performances of this song
Saw them live once, was absolutely amazing ! It's a great experience, when Corey says Jump Da Fuck Up... totally insane

Highly recommend seeing Slipknot in person if you are able! Well worth the investment!
.....and not a word about Kyuss' "Thumb", eh? Gotta love Jim Root's outro riff.
Thanks guys!! I told you it was awesome, I knew you would like it.
There are bands that must be watched LIVE. Slipknot is one of them, and they sound better live too
Guys...that was crazy. Thanks for this reaction.
I was at this! And my god it was hot as hell but a great time and I loved every single second.
Luke Mawle how many people were there
@@johnnywood8082 90k If memory serves me correctly
Luke Mawle Jesus!
@@johnnywood8082 yeah and it was hot as all hell too
Her reaction is priceless! You are right, we can’t judge a band for just one song... you did it well!
Absolutely love Slipknot. 🤘🏻😖🤘🏻
Great reaction!!!
Slipknot is a must see live, I've seen them 6 times, and they never get old.
Watching Kel's reaction going from "uhm, wtf is this" at 3:46 to "OMG! (shouts and claps)" in the Jump the fuck up part! is just amazing.
I watched several videos on your channel; I sincerely loved them. Personally, a good and natural reaction video MUST NOT pause the song you are listening to and you guys are only a few of those who do it.

You guys need to go see Slipknot, it's a great time. I've seen them twice and it's well worth it!
I think you'll really like snuff, dead memories, vermilion, vermilion pt2
The Iowa album is much more intense.
Gently and Iowa is slow pace and on the softer side though
And also Devil In I and Skeptic, definitely recommend
Killpop
Yes! Ive been a slipknot fan since I was about 14yrs old❤ their songs/live shows never get old!
Thanx for this!!! I have my tickets for August.🤘❤🤘❤🤘
The first metal show I ever took my wife to was Slipknot. She was so scared and didn't understand it. Now, 2 years later in her metal journey, she begged me to get tickets to see them this year. She's so excited to see them again now that she understands them.
Slipknot has the best live shows hands down. So much fun
Great choice, guys... Hugs from Portugal! Keep up the good work
Seriously guys, put them on the concert list. The show is amazing. The vocalist is incredible and the maggots (as their fans are fondly known) are incredibly supportive of each other. Maybe try some of their songs in acoustic format with #CoreyTaylor Live in London Perth, Western Australia
AWESOME Reaction :D :D ... perfect... you guys are one of the BEST couples reacting to videos online, you guys are such a lovely couple. \m/
Happy to say I was part of that crowd and will be again next weekend at Download,check out Sulphur or even better still Snuff awesome tune 🤘🏻
I'll be in the crowd with you. Cannot fucking wait!
I hope you two get to experience them live. Pure extacy! Thumbs up great reaction you two, Cheers! 🍻
Eyeless is a rough one to be introduced to Slipknot. But believe me, it gets better and better and better and better
their first couple records are the best!
Trust me, when you're there you get down on the fucking ground 😂😏 great reaction to this song!
Slipknot - The Heretic Anthem (live in london)
it's a classic...
great video btw, cheers from Brazil :D
The crowd chanting "Fuck me! I'm all out of enemies
" Its just classic.....
That whole concert is so much fun. Glad you enjoyed the final. My fav is psychosocial about 57 minutes into the show.

Y'all are couple goals. So glad I found you x
AOV would be another good song to react to by slipknot, a perfect mix of heavy and melodic singing, my favourite off their last album
yeah, need more AOV reactions out there
The look on Kel's face is priceless on this one!
Fun fact, Slipknot does the whole “jump the fuck up!” schtick at every concert no matter where they are. They also interact with fans and engage the audience throughout their entire show.
Yall one of my favorite tubers, real not fake
This is the UKs only Metal Festival if you have a chance to go do so it's one hell of a ride,it used to be called Monsters Of ROCK in the 80s,i was there & we all love the Slipnot there shows are awesome,great reaction as always luv you guys
Leslie Brewer don’t be disrespecting bloodstock like that.
great and real video... congratulations from Brazil
I was there and it was the best day of my life!
Kel had a worried look until towards the end BUT Rich had a smile the whole time...great reaction
Just watched this and your reaction to Eyeless and I Loved them!! ..you should also do SURFACING and THE NEGATIVE ONE!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Loved this. I've been checkin' out a few people that react to this, since I was there, and this is by far my fav one. Kel's face was great lmao, loved how you guys were so into it. Got a new subscriber. :)
I wish I could snapshot your faces at 5:47 and post it as a comment! Haha love you guys!
Man I'd love to see what Kel thinks of songs like Dead Memories or Vermilion.
Yes absolutely
Love your Slipknot reactions! MORE plz!
I'm happy I found this channel too! Awesome reactions :)
Imagine being there, that would be EPIC!
They helped me become "ok" with myself. They helped me learn to love and live
SlipKnot is on tour don't know where you guys are but I bet they'll be in a venue near you …. highly recommend you go to the show I am in September in the Houston TX area
#SNUFF by SLIPKNOT is an unbelievably touching/ emotional song that shows a completely different side of the band.
I saw Slipknot in 2006&2008 each show was fucking epic insane
If you want to check out the more brutal performances of Slipknot, I'd suggest Summersonic 2001 or London 2002
the "growl" like u say i use too compair to Opera. We have too train the ear to understand the lyrics. But when u do, you're hooked. Awesome to see new maggots my dude and dudette!
ps. maggots are the kind hearted nickname of a slipknow fan :) love from Norge!
Her reaction was the best reaction I have seen to that 'jump the fuck up' part
Every time the “jump the fuck up” part hits i get goosebumps
Slipknot - Before I Forget and Duality are normally played back to back in a live show and they have more vocals you might like those
Slipknot concerts are praised even by people who are not into the genre, these just fascinate anyone. Already spent my money on another festival, recently found one where they're playing and can't afford it atm, such a bummer.

I was there. Hard to believe it was nearly 10 years ago
the best reaction i ever see about this music
Both of these songs are from their first album which was one of their most intense albums. They definitely have more accessible newer songs.
0:10 The way she always looks at him when he talks about her. Still in love. That's so awesome to see.
My favourite part of watching people react to this is always the looks on their faces when the 70,000 people jump up.

Some of my favorites that you guys have gotta react to (on/off camera):
From the self titled album ('99): Sic, Liberate, Scissors, Only One. Being from their first album, these songs showcase Slipknot in their most authentic form, the self titled album is definitely the most raw album they have produced. Sic is one of their most iconic songs, being the opening to every live show theyve done and it epitomizes what the band stands for. Liberate and Only One highlights Corey Taylors rapping abilities, as well as the 'in your face', pump you up for a fight feel you got from Eyeless - I found these to be the better Slipknot songs as they aren't as deep and disturbing as their other stuff. Speaking of which, I recommended Scissors just so you could have a look into the insanity they were capable to show - a very dark song, but one of their most progressive ones.
From Iowa album ('01): Some say the Iowa album is their most brutal and disturbing album, in which I would agree but I found it to be a little contrived in some of the tracks. None the less, I rank it closly behind the first album and it contains some of my all time favourites which I'd love for you to listen to which include: People = Shit (As poetic as the name suggests, also I recommend watching the live performance from London in '02 for a video despite it being less cohesive than the studio version), Gently, Heretic Anthem and Disasterpiece. All very heavy songs, with the band saying this was the darkest time for the band (i'm talking drugs, alcoholism, hatred for eachother, death (refer to 555), and self harm (Read up on the story of the song Iowa).
Other great songs from Slipknot between then and now:
- Vermillion Part 2
- Snuff (Recommend the Acoustic version performed by Corey live)
- Psychosocial
- Dead Memories
- Gematria
- Killpop
- Devil In I
- Custer
What you'll find from some of these songs is a gentle side of Slipknot which you would not have known existed judging by their earlir work. Theres structure to these songs and their more melodic with minimal screaming, as you get to hear more levels to Coreys vocal range which changes not only with his age but to the tone of slower songs.
I know this is long but I thought I'd let you know a little about the band! I actually quite enjoyed writing this comment lol. Hope you guys see this in which case I hope you both have a lovely day! - from all the way down under
You guys are awesome. I'm from chicago and love Metallica like you. I also love a metal band named BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME. You guys have to react to they're cover of Metallica's Blackened. Its so epic
Such a genuine reaction
Slipknot is a really eclectic metal band, great musicians, creative and Corey can really sing as well as scream and growl. Is very good, always
I was at the festival 2009 awesome live slipknot
Guys please check out Iron Maiden's Paschendale and or Rime of the Ancient Mariner (Live Flight 666) and or Sign of the Cross (Live Rock in Rio). Those are 3 of their best epic songs with all kinds of changes and build ups that end up in eargasm city. You wont regret it! We know what you want and thats epic Maiden! Lol
your wife's facial expressions are classic LOL
Great reaction guys, kel you went from not blinking in fear from the masks to giggling like a kid in a candy shop at the end. You should try stone sour to see the man behind the mask. Try "through glass"
More slipknot! 🙌🙌🙌
OH!!! You guys are from Texas?!? You rock!!!
Best crowd control has to be Creeping Death Moscow 91 live James get 1.4 million people screaming DIE talk about goosebumps.

Do snuff. This band is very human. Very intelligent. Very caring. Very articulate. Very diverse. They are our family
If you want an easier and less "harsh" entrance to Slipknot, I'd suggest some of their more "mainstream" songs:
Before I Forget, Duality and Psychosocial.
There's of course lots of other great ones, but these are good for beginners (I think)
