This is my song of choice for when I feel the need to go to my dark-space. Long-time Maggots (what Slipknot fans are called) consider this a hidden gem of their catalog. "Just 'cause I have nerves don't mean that I can feel"... I feel that. This song is about toxic people that you develop an addiction to and coincidentally a drug-like addiction, but he can't decide who is to blame for it, himself or the person he is addicted to. "A black-widow (woman who kills men's will to live) had offered me her sweet-heart tube. As I injected the candied-heart that I selected. She said don't hesitate just do what you have to do to me." So they both feed off of and feed into each other's toxicity and addictions. Yes, Shawn "Clown" Crahan has nerve damage in his arm from smacking a steel keg with an aluminum baseball bat for 20+ years. Rick Rubin is the genius producer who put this song at the end of the album to drive a final punch and it also has zero known song-structure which was Rick Rubin's signature. He did it for Korn and others too.
i do not know where these rumours come from lol what actually happens is after the song in the og album there is an audio file after minutes of silence in which they are all watching scat-porn as an initiation to Chris Fehn and he is heard vomiting due to that
@@DouglasGranqvist you're probably mixing it up with Mudslide, which is the secret track I mentioned, but if you have a link to the mix you mentioned then hmu with it
Their creepy songs are amazing, Iowa off of the IOWA album, Virus of Life off of Vol 3, Gahenna off of All Hope is Gone, I forgot the one from .5 lol, and My Pain from the new album We Are Not Your Kind, phenomenal songs!
.5 would be If Rain Is What You Want for me, since I consider Be Prepared for Hell more as an Intro/Interlude for The Negative One. But in general I agree 100% with you. They are all exceptionally good and totally unique songs. :D
caiobrocador yeah maybe still creepy if you don’t know it though scared the shit out of a work colleague i worked with said he never wanted to listen to it ever again😈
Song is about Corey's addiction to drugs and alcohol. It's meant to be as disturbing and brutal. Also how much whiplash do u have with all the transitions in the song?
@@youcangonowproductions supposedly he created it but Corey supposedly wrote it. It's always been up to debate. Hard to say. Mostly everyone just interprets it their own way. The one thing we all can usually agree on is it being about a drug/alcohol and depression
MaggotOfTheKnot05 Joey wrote scissors back sometime in 1997, before Corey joined the band anyway and Anders was still the lead singer. The band altered the lyrics of the song 3 separate times before they finally settled on the 1999 version, which ironically had lyrics and vocals that were virtually identical to the one Joey originally wrote.
Not shredding, just playing high notes to make it noisy. Same with the part after the first chorus. It's just playing with a wah pedal. Shredding would be like the guitar solo on their song Gematria. Which I recommend you hear.
Also, the first song on mfkr is very similar to the first song on the self titled album, they kinda upgraded a lot of the songs on that album and put them on the next two. Another example, "killers are quiet" (I think that's the name,) is basically Iowa with different lyrics.
Camroc37 yes killers are quiet is very similar to Iowa and the opening Riff of sic is used in the opening to MFKR called slipknot I believe, tattered and torn is also on MFKR and the self titled album
What happened at the end and I know this from experience is Corey went up and down on pitch and tone on his voice with makes gag and cough when your not singing after you've sang that for 8 and a half minutes

Back in the day when they used to play this song live they would sometimes set each other on fire.
LoL
This and Iowa are probably the darkest songs of Slipknot.
Tuomas corey admitted himself that diluted is the darkest song apart from iowa. Thats why u never heard them sing that live
And purity
@@danielazlan5056 donrlt believe in corey lol. His fav song is vermillion. Like WTF
@@NamelessKing.Sun1 his favourite song is scissors
@@danielazlan5056 the reason he they have never performed it live is because its a personal song to him
Corey screaming so hard he starts throwing up at the end
i do not know where these rumours come from lol what actually happens is after the song in the og album there is an audio file after minutes of silence in which they are all watching scat-porn as an initiation to Chris Fehn and he is heard vomiting due to that
@@mikesantiago14 bro they treated chris so bad what the fuck
@@mikesantiago14there’s another mix of scissors where you clearly hear corey throwing up on the end

Gehenna is fucking brilliant
YAAAAAAAAAS Omg his voice in this 😍
Now react to the song “iowa” you think scissors ✂️ was creepy😳
You can`t just straight react to iowa, you gotta know the backstory first haha
caiobrocador yeah maybe still creepy if you don’t know it though scared the shit out of a work colleague i worked with said he never wanted to listen to it ever again😈
@@SuperClarky666 oh, lol

MaggotOfTheKnot05 I thought Joey wrote it?

No joey did write it they have said this in an interview
I thought Joey wrote the first half of the lyrics and the rest was improvised?
Eh, what do I know?
I appreciate Scissors but I prefer Prosthetics.
Prosthetics and the virus of life.
damn man, i knew it was a mistake
I appreciate scissors for that bass man 🤦🏾♂️🔥
They are both epic
No no scissors is a gem, rarely was it played and I doubt ever will be again

Skin ticket, prosthetics, the virus of life. My evil trio of slipknot songs.
In my opinion this song probably has the most interesting vibe of any Slipknot song
Slipknot has this type of creepy songs in each album. Very interesting songs BTW. The creepiest I believe is Iowa off of the Iowa album.
Just the right song you put on when chilling with your girlfriend. :D
Heaviest song on the album
Finally you react to one of my favorite slipknot songs😍
Can you believe this song is more than 20 years old
Congrats on 1k subs bro. I love slipknots first album.
Before I even hear more than a few seconds of this, that's what she said. Plus, this is my favorite song of theirs. Ever. Thanks mang.
Not so fun fact: The ending of Scissors was Corey puking at 12:46, you could also hear it at 11:37
Great reaction man! React to Stone Sour - Orchids next! You will like it
Nice skin ticket Iowa and prosthetics
sin ticket mental old slipknot best samples are better than originals
I love seeing the clean cut among us, discovering what the rest of us were getting down with back in the day.
You need to check Slipknot - Snap (Demo) is really crazy song!
3 secs in "Already Im loving Clowns' work here, you got that whole keg thing going, yeah..."
Scissors 🤘🏻🖤
This song reminds me if Salad Fingers
I didn’t hear the heartbeat until now
Yeah, in the beginning it is clown with the keg
Yeah like in 10:44 he had a mental breakdown like in the 15 min Iowa song
I always thought the intro to this song was just Clown cleaning his drums. It sounds more like scrubbing than sawing to me.
chris does it. u can see it live
If you think this is weird then I can't wait to see what you make of Iowa hahaha
this and skin ticket are their best songs in my opinion
You should check out some stuff from MFKR the album before Corey joined it’s a lot of this stuff I prefer the MFKR version of gently personally
Me too lol
Also, the first song on mfkr is very similar to the first song on the self titled album, they kinda upgraded a lot of the songs on that album and put them on the next two. Another example, "killers are quiet" (I think that's the name,) is basically Iowa with different lyrics.

Purity London 2002 or Circle if you want a nice change.
I think one of their darker songs is the virus of life, I'd pull up lyrics if you do it. This is one of my favorites though.
Thanks!
This woulda been such a good opener after the intro instead of sic, just gives the perfect vibe for a first impression
i disagree, scissors has a really slow build-up, and i feel like sic gets straight to the point and grabs attention
Down & dirty move it!
What happened at the end and I know this from experience is Corey went up and down on pitch and tone on his voice with makes gag and cough when your not singing after you've sang that for 8 and a half minutes
You gotta do Iwoa now😂
Oh man, you want a creepier and longer Slipknot song? The song "Iowa" is your go to
