Yeah, when he mentioned and said "can't believe I said that" I was like bruh, you know Paul Grey was a fucking god! And he probably knows that Paul wrote a lot of Slipknot songs..
@@brandon_png9743loud wire ant always really accurate I would not say the song is Legendury but I personally think it’s really good and a lot of other people like it too
I really like alot of slipknot songs that people kinda sleep on. This is definitely one of em. They do a great job with the dark, haunting songs like Vermilion, like Killpop, spiders etc etc.
Never realized how progressively unique this song was until now, it goes from this haunting obsessiveness that just slowly trickles down into a sad realization that what you wanted for such a long time never existed in the first place. Which is what I think. Thanks for sharing this song Nik, it brought back some fond memories while growing up as a kid. 🔥
@@gaminggizmos8570 I agree it seems strange, especially considering his frequent mentions of IOWA in his StP videos. I just don't see a reason to lie for him. Other people doing reactions just mention that they heard the song a long time ago and want to react and analyze it now
Yall act like he has to know the whole discography of a band to actually be a fan. Not everyone goes through a full album. Some will go for specific or popular songs and that's just fine. I've heard this song too for the first time like 2 months ago and I've known slipknot for years but never got that much into them before. It's not like he's reacting to songs like smells like teen spirit or stuff like that lol.
@@z3roshark Paul and Joey are still alive, Chris is still in, Sid has a gas mask fetish and Ghostglow is Corey's latest mask. Let me live in nostalgia, I like it here.
Maybe I'll start an never ending conversation, but why do people think he's trolling? It's totally possible, that he really hasn't listened to this song.
Rick Beato, Misha Mansoor, and Tosin Abasi were talking with Tim Henson and were shocked to hear he had never the black album! They couldn’t believe he had played guitar for that long, and had somehow never heard the black album.
I mean he’s getting sponsored by Live Nation now, and they have a big stake in Knotfest Roadshow or the soon-to-be-reannounced Knot Cruise. I imagine he took a nice pay check to “react” to an old Slipknot song. I have a hard time believing that the guy who learned all the songs from Slipknot’s newest album the week it came out doesn’t know one of their most popular slow songs.
There's music and songs and albums from a shit ton of bands I've never heard, even popular ones, hell for example, I've never listened to any Metallica albums and don't really want to. So it is possible to not hear every song or band. People are just 🤦♂️
Probably one of my favorite songs by Slipknot, that one line when Corey says I want let this build up inside of me for some weird reason brings back like memories, even though i didn’t start listening to Slipknot in August 2020.
Definitely check out the longer version of Vermilion, personally I felt that version flows much better than the music video version. While you are at it, might as well continue on and check out Vermilion part 2 😉
Subliminal Verses is my favorite album by far. I could listen to it start to finish and it feels like it's packed with emotion and some of their best work.. even though the story behind the album is basically the complete opposite.
First off, you haven't heard this Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses?! Easily one of their best albums. You need to listen to more albums dude. Wished you reacted to the album version though since the radio edit cuts out so much, including the final scream towards the end which really is the icing on the cake. It also builds a lot better throughout. Also, thanks for giving the bass some credit considering Paul Grey was fantastic. I still miss him and Joey.
@@sh4rpys I find it's their most experimental album sound wise, with songs like vermillion and virus of life. I personally love it but it definitely doesn't have much of the classic slipknot sound aside from a few tracks
Vol. 3 will always be my favorite album by them. My brother got this when it came out and I used to fall asleep listening to it in middle school woth my sony discman. Still amazing album. Every song bangs.
I'm not typically a fan of talking singing, but it fits SO WELL for this song. Love this song. I get the 'there's too much music' mentality because even though I love this song I haven't listened to it as much as I should.
Vermillion has always been and still is one of my most favourite slipknot songs ever, the studio version with full solo and def the 'she isen't real screaming ending' is even much better than the video version, that ending sounds soo heavy, desperate and emotional all at once and in this version it weirdly ends and gets soft without reaching it's summit soo even if it's only a bit shorter it makes alot of difference for me, please check the full version if u only heard this one before
So many hours spent listening to this in my younger years, I love the whole album. Not sure if it's true, but I love the story of how Corey wrote the lyrics for this album, where critics were saying he couldn't write good song lyrics and only used curse words and foul language, so he went and wrote an entire album without a single curse word in it. It's still one of my all time favourite albums to this day. I love all their stuff though, Maggot for life for sure. Can't wait for the next album.
Love this, I've listened to Slipknot since 2004 so you listening to it I was like showing a friend Slipknot the first time and not sure if they'd like it. lol
my favorite thing about this song is the transition at the end that flows perfectly into pulse of the maggots, which in my opinion is the albums best song. but seriously the transition is so clean it’s like so pink floyd level shit
Easily my favorite Slipknot song cool to see you get straight into it. The fact you hadn't heard it was surprising but reminds me of the feeling of wanting to hear all really good metal and not wanting to miss any gems, but they don't always come up in recommended or in friend circles so you gotta keep searching.
As a metal drummer, I don’t usually give a flying fuck about lyrics but THIS SONG changes that. I love them in this song. Tbh most songs I don’t know any of the lyrics at all.
Grew up listening to slipknot. Surprised you’re not familiar with old slipknot. Need to catch up on the classics. You always catch me up on the newer bands and I appreciate your videos 🤟
When i read the title i was like "Oh wow slipknot did a re-release or someone did a cover" but watching you react to this song the same way i did at like 12 years old was really entertaining. Do more of these lol
Eskimo Callboy just released another song on Kalle's channel. Their first German song! Kalle Koschinsky feat. Eskimo Callboy - Castrop X Spandau. Kalle was featured in Hypa Hypa and Mc Thunder 2 (the cook).
You need to hear the title track to Iowa. It's a longer song, but sooo fucking dark and heavy. And you WILL hear Paul on the bass in a wonderful way, he's like the one thing you can hold on to through the song. The recording process for a few parts of it, definitely including the vocals, is a very cool but dark story, as is the recording of that whole album. But that ender for such a dark album in such a dark time in all of their lives, and the brutal recording environment, made it basically my favorite. And it's very apparent the anger, violence, loss, and delving into that album as almost a way to cope with all of it, made it what it is. And you can hear it
You really should check out BMTH’s Suicide Season (The Comedown, Chelsea Smile, and the title track) along with There is a hell albums (Crucify Me, It Never Ends, Alligator Blood, probably the entire album at this point)
BRRRROOOOOOOO. Avenged Sevenfold, I Won't See You Tonight Part 1. Classic A7X, different sound than you're probably used to for them. Absolute masterpiece. The piano. M Shadows vocals.....just 💦💦💦 of a song. Also, really, anything off of that album is amazing. Prime A7X. Edit: If you do part 1, you gotta do part 2
I remember downloading this CD and burning it on a blank CD, listening to it on a road trip and the time my parents freaked out on me for listening to Slipknot. 2004 was a good year 😂
![[Gegagedigedagedago] NEW Help Gegagedigedagedago Nugget escape from Nikocado Avocado Challenge](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/hJWnwRC2Fz8/mqdefault.jpg)
The longer version is better because we have the screams in the outro.
And a longer guitar solo
I was gonna mention... I havent heard vermilion in a while and this sounded a bit off...
yes I was going to say this. The outro kinda ends abruptly on this version. The longer outro is perfect
The “she isn’t real” screams and emotion that goes into them changes and colors the entire song for me
So agree with this... The last part of this song is the best!
Imagine being a teenager in 2006 , with a crush on someone who does not give a damn about you, and hearing this song.
I sadly relate to this comment way too much lol
I remember it all too well 😂
im a creeeeep im a weirdoo
Inagine listening to part 2
Get out of my head
I'm glad Paul's bass was noticed
Yeah, when he mentioned and said "can't believe I said that" I was like bruh, you know Paul Grey was a fucking god! And he probably knows that Paul wrote a lot of Slipknot songs..
@@Veganerd_ yeah man, rip Paul🤘
it was pretty sad hearing the band play this in concerts from 2010-2014, the bass makes this song and without it the song felt naked
Same. He was such an underrated bassist. And this song has some of his best work.
"Gehenna" is by far one their most underrated songs and worth a listen.
Great song, I remember seeing Loudwire say it was their worst song??? Either way there's a lot of good tracks on AHIG.
For real. Iirc corey said that the vocals he did on that song even creeped himself out at that point
@@brandon_png9743loud wire ant always really accurate I would not say the song is Legendury but I personally think it’s really good and a lot of other people like it too
I agree, very underrated. Love the shit out of that song.
@@joandrumz3176 yeah it’s peaceful but hunting at the same time
Now you’ve gotta do vermillion part 2! Them feels
I really like alot of slipknot songs that people kinda sleep on. This is definitely one of em. They do a great job with the dark, haunting songs like Vermilion, like Killpop, spiders etc etc.
Spiders is such an under rated song
@@backbone666 bruh spiders is the shit
Spiders is cool!. One of my faves that people generally sleep on is new abortion. Chonk....
I love spiders
Right? When someone says Slipknot, I will admit first thing that pops into my mind is Duality.
"That bass". Yeah...that bass. RIP Paul, I still miss him.
all the maggots miss him and Joey 😞
Man that got me into wanting to play bass. So underrated. His work is so slept on!
Never realized how progressively unique this song was until now, it goes from this haunting obsessiveness that just slowly trickles down into a sad realization that what you wanted for such a long time never existed in the first place. Which is what I think. Thanks for sharing this song Nik, it brought back some fond memories while growing up as a kid. 🔥
Pt 2 is really good too! Basically a slowerm chiller version of this one. One of my fave slipknot joints
bloodstone mix of this song is better imo. the original is still beautiful tho, but that mix has what the original lacks
Oh, so you don't really know a lot of older songs? That's a lot of material for reactions!
Proud to say I have their entire discography
Dude posted 500 riffs video and then he says he doesn't know old songs ? Sure. Sure.
@@gaminggizmos8570 I agree it seems strange, especially considering his frequent mentions of IOWA in his StP videos. I just don't see a reason to lie for him. Other people doing reactions just mention that they heard the song a long time ago and want to react and analyze it now

The Blister Exists is another great song from this album. Purity from the selftitled if you haven't heard it may be my fav slipknot song
Truth, my altime fav
I love seeing people discover old Slipknot. Reminds me of being 15 years old back in 2005.
We want full album listen through of Slipknot discography.
>Old Slipknot
Now **I** feel old.
Full discography would be awesome but feels unlikely, I'd settle for at least Eyeless.
@@Quiltfish I had the same reaction haha, Vol. 3 being "old" Slipknot is such a strange concept that I'm still not ready for.
@@z3roshark Paul and Joey are still alive, Chris is still in, Sid has a gas mask fetish and Ghostglow is Corey's latest mask. Let me live in nostalgia, I like it here.
@@Quiltfish this made me sad, RIP to the homies
He didn't discover it, he clearly knows this song. He is a moron. And you are too for not seeing that

its kinda impossible, youtube, deezer, spotify, and other services of its kind, recommend songs to you around the music genre u've been listening to.

@Crusade Music Oops, just noticed! Lol!
I've seen them play this live twice. Probably one of their best live songs.
Definitely check out the longer version of Vermilion, personally I felt that version flows much better than the music video version.
While you are at it, might as well continue on and check out Vermilion part 2 😉
This entire album is excellent!
Subliminal Verses is my favorite album by far. I could listen to it start to finish and it feels like it's packed with emotion and some of their best work.. even though the story behind the album is basically the complete opposite.
How could he not have heard this song in the past 17 years?! I don't want to imagine life without this masterpiece 😰
First off, you haven't heard this Vol. 3: The Subliminal Verses?! Easily one of their best albums. You need to listen to more albums dude.

Vol 3 is my least favourite album from them
@@sh4rpys yeah, IOWA and self titled are way better, but vol 3 is good too
@@eduardojesusdalpizzol1491 Yeah it is good, but not THAT good
Vol 3 are more commercial sounding.. But their songwriting also improve a lot

If you haven't heard disasterpiece you gotta do that one live at London 2002. Their tracks gently, scissors, get this, prosthetics are all amazing.
I am Hated is really good
What an amazing track, the longer version even better, nice to hear it again it's been a while!
Absolutely blown away he’s never heard this song until now...
You should listen to the album version, it's much cooler
Yes, one of the best songs by Slipknot, and it's definitely have some progressive twist to it:) and it has solo, that's very rare for Slipknot.
I mean, you're just gonna have to do Part 2 now. Perfect compliment to this song.
WAIT...?!?!?!?!?!
You haven't heard this song on release??!?!?! o0
HOW?! One of the greatest songs by Slipknot
🤘
You NEED to listen to the uncut version!
I thought that the music was different, it disturbed me 😂
Nik for whichever slipknot songs you haven't heard, for whatever reason, REACT TO LITERALLY ALL OF THEM PLS TY xD
Vol. 3 is still my favorite!
Same !
Literally just saw this live tonight at the amphitheater in Tampa, they’re still killing it 🤘🏼
Bro same it was fucking wild 🤘
Vol. 3 will always be my favorite album by them. My brother got this when it came out and I used to fall asleep listening to it in middle school woth my sony discman. Still amazing album. Every song bangs.
Never heard vermilion before this video? Idk how that’s possible but glad you got to it, love this song
Vermillion part 2 is my favorite. Might get hate for that but I love it. Love them both
I played part 2 to death after my first breakup. Such an angsty teenage boy moment.
@@jordanmckay7037 Same
Vermilion part 2 has twice as many views as well as streams so it's definitely not an unpopular opinion that Vermilion part 2 is better.
Wish Paul was here to see his work go appreciated after all of these years 😭. Joey thank you for always being an inspiration King 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The solo to this made Kirk Hammett very proud of Mick
I'm not typically a fan of talking singing, but it fits SO WELL for this song. Love this song. I get the 'there's too much music' mentality because even though I love this song I haven't listened to it as much as I should.

Says “good hi-hat work” during open quarter notes 😂 love your vids Nik 🤙🏼
This is by far in my top 3 slipknot songs, the feels are over flooding and the melodies are just AWESOME.
Love this, I've listened to Slipknot since 2004 so you listening to it I was like showing a friend Slipknot the first time and not sure if they'd like it. lol
Awesome! I watched them perform this last night and man it was great!!! I love this song!
I still remember when i listened to vermillion back in 2004 using my discman. Still such a great song.
Vermillion was on subliminal verses vol. 3 from my high school days
Such a masterpiece this track is, video, lyrics, the ambience in this track it's like a void, like going on a rollercoaster.
Waiting to get in and see the knotfest road show right NOW LETS GOOOOO!!!
This is one of my favorite songs ever
I hope from the bottom of my heart that they play it at the knotfest in brazil
Love this one. Def one of the best off the album.
my favorite thing about this song is the transition at the end that flows perfectly into pulse of the maggots, which in my opinion is the albums best song. but seriously the transition is so clean it’s like so pink floyd level shit
This song came out when I was college and I'd stay up late at night to catch the music video on MTV. Its one of my favorite Slipknot songs.
Slipknot's first album -> Wait and Bleed; Surfacing
Vol 3 the subliminal verses will forever be my favourite album! I'm so glad you checked this track out, i didn't see it comming!
We need a compilation of Nik saying every band name wrong!
Pulse of the maggots is an underrated banger off the album. The blister exists is great too. Great use of a keg live too.
Their old songs are the best, so I'm super hyped for you to check them out.
The end of the album version still gives me chills, it's so powerful and sorrowful in a way I can't explain. I'm going to go and listen to it again.
Easily my favorite Slipknot song cool to see you get straight into it. The fact you hadn't heard it was surprising but reminds me of the feeling of wanting to hear all really good metal and not wanting to miss any gems, but they don't always come up in recommended or in friend circles so you gotta keep searching.
Yes the longer version has the full Mick solo too.
“That bass work” base was prime when Paul was behind the bass guitar 🎸
I saw them last Tuesday. Such a great show.
Dude..Vermillion Pt2🖤 MUST
One of the best songs by Slipknot of all time
As a metal drummer, I don’t usually give a flying fuck about lyrics but THIS SONG changes that. I love them in this song. Tbh most songs I don’t know any of the lyrics at all.
Should've done pt.2 as well
yeahh do more slipknot! great video!
If you really want some whiplash then you can check out Vermillion part 2. it’s a really beautiful song.
Seeing them live tonight!
Probably the most well written Slipknot song period
This takes me back to senior year, holy shit
I going to see slipknot on the 29th so excited first of there concerts for me
Now I feel old
Grew up listening to slipknot. Surprised you’re not familiar with old slipknot. Need to catch up on the classics. You always catch me up on the newer bands and I appreciate your videos 🤟
I was at Knofest Mansfield 2021 and it was awesome
When i read the title i was like "Oh wow slipknot did a re-release or someone did a cover" but watching you react to this song the same way i did at like 12 years old was really entertaining. Do more of these lol
Check out “Vermilion Pt. 2”. It’s this song but acoustic and the lyrics are a bit different since it’s the sequel to this song.
I love the group vocal sections. Reminds me of Chorus of Angels by Haste the Day (same sort of era)
i went and saw them in detroit and they didn’t disappoint
Vermillion pt 2 is one of my favorite slow songs
You need to look at vermilion pt2. Acoustic is insane
Eskimo Callboy just released another song on Kalle's channel. Their first German song!
Kalle Koschinsky feat. Eskimo Callboy - Castrop X Spandau. Kalle was featured in Hypa Hypa and Mc Thunder 2 (the cook).
Vermillion 1 & 2 are slipknot's bohemian rhapsody
Should've done both parts in one video
Checking out old Slipknot is always a good idea.
You gotta listen the whole «Slipknot» and «Iowa»
I love slipknot, and genuinely have only ever listened to Vermillion Pt.1 maybe once or twice I've listened to Pt.2 hundreds of times.
This is my favourite Slipknot song.
You need to hear the title track to Iowa. It's a longer song, but sooo fucking dark and heavy. And you WILL hear Paul on the bass in a wonderful way, he's like the one thing you can hold on to through the song. The recording process for a few parts of it, definitely including the vocals, is a very cool but dark story, as is the recording of that whole album. But that ender for such a dark album in such a dark time in all of their lives, and the brutal recording environment, made it basically my favorite. And it's very apparent the anger, violence, loss, and delving into that album as almost a way to cope with all of it, made it what it is. And you can hear it
Give me chills every intro 'cause this is my alarm ring tone. Lol.
Do some Shadows Fall reactions. Old school straight up riffs to your dome metal core. I suggest tracks
The Light That Blinds or Fire in Babylon.
One of my favorite chorus (the pre riff)
in the same album, you would check Pulse of Maggots, the intro is so sick
This song is experimental as fuck, even for Slipknot but I love it so much. Part 2 is amazing also
Don't know how much you've heard from the Iowa album, but My Plague and People=Shit are both amazing songs (really the whole album is great).
You really should check out BMTH’s Suicide Season (The Comedown, Chelsea Smile, and the title track) along with There is a hell albums (Crucify Me, It Never Ends, Alligator Blood, probably the entire album at this point)
Vol. 3 is my favourite Slopknit album. Circle or AOV are my favs from Slopknit.
Aye, off topic, but I respect that chuck pfp. Their best album imo 🤘
You worded that in a way that makes it sound like AOV is on vol. 3 when it’s on vol. 5
Ah yes, slopknit
@@josephprince3111 yah. I was distracted while writing lol
how did you manage to mispell Slipknot twice in a row
The box ice nine kills bro that'll have u gasping for air when the breakdown hits
BRRRROOOOOOOO. Avenged Sevenfold, I Won't See You Tonight Part 1. Classic A7X, different sound than you're probably used to for them. Absolute masterpiece. The piano. M Shadows vocals.....just 💦💦💦 of a song. Also, really, anything off of that album is amazing. Prime A7X.
Edit: If you do part 1, you gotta do part 2
I remember downloading this CD and burning it on a blank CD, listening to it on a road trip and the time my parents freaked out on me for listening to Slipknot. 2004 was a good year 😂
You definitely need to cover this one.
