Lyrics:
No more!
The crap rolls out your mouth again
Haven't changed, your brain is still gelatin
Little whispers circle around your head
Why don't you worry about yourself instead?
Who are you? Where ya been? Where ya from?
Gossip is burning on the tip of your tongue
You lie so much, you believe yourself
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Before you judge me, take a look at you
Can't you find something better to do?
Point the finger, slow to understand
Arrogance and ignorance go hand in hand
It's not who you are, it's who you know
Others lives are the basis of your own
Burn your bridges, and built them back with wealth
Judge not lest ye be judged yourself
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Holier than thou
You are
Holier than thou
You are
You know not
Not!

![Corey Taylor - CMFT Must Be Stopped (feat. Tech N9ne & Kid Bookie) [OFFICIAL VIDEO]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/BEPI69cx22E/mqdefault.jpg)
This Corey guy should start a band soon, his voice is so good
🤣🤣🤣☠
He should start a band and even have a few “side projects”
He'd sound great doing stone sour covers too
I reckon he might have a career in music... Bahahaha CMFT
He would be great for Slipknot if he had more aggression but maybe I’m thinking too hard.
Corey just needs to put a cover album out of songs he grew up and that molded who he is it would be a masterpiece
Hey, that’s not a bad idea, actually. The guy can sing like obviously (as does James Hetfield and Serj Tankian the singer in System of a down) and he’d do really well. His vocals are well developed and are broad 🎤💖
what is the business model behind that? not gonna take home the lion's share of royalties are you
@@godsinbox Business model?? How about the love of music. What better way to pay homage and introduce a new generation of listeners to the sounds that shaped you as a musician. Wait…are you suggesting this is a business and artists just want a pay day? So much for the purity of art.
@@godsinbox He's got plenty of money, save enough of the proceeds to pay the other musicians & studio guys, the rest could go to charity.
he already did with Stone Sour, the Burbank duology
Makes perfect sense that this is the song Corey would cover. Calling out hypocrites has always been one his favorite subjects to write/sing about.
I think it’s also just a damn good tune. One of my favourites on the Black album along with God that Failed.
Yea James was completely out of line to throw Corey under the bus when so many other artists went solo... James wouldn't make it solo there's a difference without Kirk and Lars James is just another front man.. bet he won't call Maynard James Keenan a hypocrite LMAO... Go Corey keep em coming
@@ttluvly1 so this indirectly replies to James Hetfield commentary, Fight Fire with Fire
@@ttluvly1 I think he was wrong in saying that (though I do think slipknot did have more fillers on their albums than before). But, Corey is hyper, doesn't want to be bored and needs to keep creating to keep himself from doing bad things. But I don't agree with your last sentence. Kirk is just someone who throws some wah solos in there. If Mustaine was still there, sure. But a mediocre drummer and a guy that cannot live without his wah.. Hetfield will be fine. I'm not even a huge metallica fan, but we take this man for granted. Hetfield is the god of riffs and metal today. There is no band out there that did not get inspired by this guy's riffs. When he dies, people will get jealous you got to see him live. Slipknot is fucking awesome as a band, but the actual guitarriffs themselves are not memorable. Riffs that James came up with? Cannot name anyone that singlehandedly changed a whole fucking genre with his guitarplaying.
@@skeletonmodel what about Jeff Hanneman in regards to influential riffs for metal? Or were you just referring to Living guitarists? I feel like Jeff was at least as good/influential if not better than James but that’s just my opinion, no shade at James he kills it.
The Whiplash outro is proof that he was a fan of MetallicA from the 80's/90's. That was a staple of their live shows, pure energy.
Of course he could pull this off. Love him or hate him, def one of the best voices in rock/metal. 🤘🏼
Yassss
I will bravely say there's no song in rock/metal that Corey can't pull off. And i am pretty fucking sure I am right.
Who actually hates Corey?
@@jordanbenson2980 a lot of people, they see slipknot as entry level metal and if anyone likes them or corey they're "posers".
@@jordanbenson2980 the trves
Imagine Corey covering Disposable Heroes or Leper Messiah…
Covering anything from metallica...
@Dimebag Hetfield Orion is probably the most vocally challenging metal song of all time. Corey may end up struggling with that one.
@Dimebag Hetfield Remember he plays acoustic guitar ;)
Corey Taylor plus metallica are perfect match
or Fight fire with fire 🔥
Ok, that quick Whiplash at the end was unexpected and really good😄
Fuckin right! \m/
Oh yeah!!!!! Brilliant!
Fucken A right it was awesome lol .
SPOILERS
Hell yeah. That was beautiful. 🤘🏻
If Corey ever decides to make a whole record of Metallica covers I’d get myself a copy. No doubt.
This is the only cover on this whole blacklist thingy that I’m seriously digging!
Honestly, there's a few, but none that are quite as good as his. For instance, I do enjoy listening to Volbeat's cover and Royal Blood's is quite alright even if it isn't anything amazing in my opinion.
This one and Volbeat the rest of them suck
The Juanes one is kinda good
Royal bloods cover was good, but this one takes the fucking cake CMFT \m/ I’d definitely be down for a while Metallica cover album, after they release their new album of course 😂
@@brandonwagner734 Yes because Corey and the guys in Volbeat know WHAT IS Metallica and what it’s like to be a Metallica fan
The rest of the “artists” on the album are thinking that Metallica is a brand...
Corey should cover more Metallica songs. Like fade to black, nothing else matters, sad but true and the thing that should not be
The memory remains
@@gabrielleao6698 yes
seek and destroy
@@gabrielleao6698 fuck yes
@MonoChronicle omg yes
If James ever needs an interim vocalist (if he’s out for injury or illness). Corey is the one.
I remember Stone Sour's version of "Creeping Death" and THIS is just as awesome!
😮
Stone sour's version of Season in the abyss is awesome too.
@@jmlm5479 Yes, both of the cover mini albums are great! Such a shame they didn't bring out the third as it was planned...
Yes, and the cover the Alice in Chains, Judas Priest or Love Gun of Kiss
Fucking dope!
That Whiplash ending genuinely made me smile, love it.
That was hilarious hahaha.
What a dick move! Talk about leaving us hanging for more lmao
@@wad316 Hahaha, maybe we'll get lucky.
Anything the guy touches turns out utterly fantastic. Fucking killed it !
Actually I don’t like his tone after the first Slipknot album and first few songs of Iowa I feel like he sounds the same on every song just a yelling tone not a real musician IMO.
@@hunterbiden6484 have u heard any of their slower songs? Like he doesnt just yell and has a decent sound still
@@hunterbiden6484 music is about turning emotion into an artform that can’t be explained with words. if you think iowa doesn’t have emotion you’re in trouble.
Except his own solo album, ironically. :-)
@@hunterbiden6484 not a real musician? Oh my god.
Corey totally nailed this Metallica cover! As a die-hard Metallica fan myself...I'm blown away! Corey's passion and talent for music totally comes thru on this cover. I think Metallica would be proud of this cover. Respect.
Corey Taylor es una de las mejores voces del metal que eh escuchado
This is one of the best covers I’ve heard. Even all the sounds of the instruments are close to the original, with a modern spin.
As a big Metallica fan, and a fan of Corey, fkn well done!
i wish corey would do a ton of metallica covers
Yeah maybe he could fix St. Anger
Jk no one can fix that shit
*EDIT* If you like it cool lol I know everyone's taste is different ✌️
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 if u replace the trash cans with a decente drum snare its pretty good
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 we dont speak of that album lol
@@iamwhoyousayiam6773 wait that album exist?
Me too
Mostly one vocal track, no effects, no bullshit. Just sheer vocal power. Corey is a beast.
His vocals are absolutely monstrous, hell yeah Corey! 🤘
Corey is Corey and James is James! Both are amazing! Both have their style! Let them be themselves! Love for both!!! I love Slipknot and Metallica!
I love how he doesn't stray far! He has just enough of Hetfield in his voice, like he doesn't sound like he's tryna copy, but he has that same vibe and energy! Corey, you are amazing 👏🏼
The whiplash tease at the end of this just makes me want a CMFT Metallica cover album.
If only😩
Corey's voice is perfect for metallica songs. This song got a different power in his voice.
Great. But nothing can top his cover of 'Rainbow in the Dark'!
I second this. Most of his other covers don't do much for me cause Rainbow in the Dark is the benchmark for his covers.
Trve
I love all of Corey's covers, but your statement is valid and I agree
YESSSS
That was terrible. He didn't hit half the notes in that song.
Man This really shows what an amazing vocalist/frontman James “riff master” Hetfield is.
Still great job by Corey
Riff Lord him and Iommi, the Gods of riffage
@@dmusiclife5727 and Malcom Young
This is a great cover with great vocals. With that said... youre right. As good as these vocals are.. I can hear bits and pieces of other vocalists while Corey sings, very common. James.... I dont hear many who sing like James and dont hear any other singers in James' voice when he sings. Dude has always had great vocals for his music..
This song is one of the standouts in the whole compilation simply for being closest to the original track. I love what other people have done to these songs in reinterpreting them (especially The Neptunes and Flatbush Zombies) but something about the purity of sticking to the basic formula that makes the song a song is special if you can pull it off.
Yeah agree with you there, this and Volbeat’s version of Don’t Tread On Me are awesome!
i gotta disagree respectfully. Metallica has been acing this song on and off stage for years now, and what is especial about this blacklist for me is to be able to listen to different artists' different versions. take "volbeat's don't tread on me" as an example. its not that far from the original, but with tasteful altercations which i absolutely loved!
I personally think that if a cover is to be made, it should be faster, heavier, and more catchy than the original. If the cover is like a "toned down version" it easily ends up being bland and boring. I think "Black" is very difficult album to cover. And this is just my opinion, I know that some people like to hear totally different renditions.
@@hmico457 that's cool. But imagine a toned down sad but true😅i think it wouldn't work. But a country version of it?!that would be awesome!
@@hmico457 It really depends on the musicians and their skill level! I mean, most covers that I've done end up being heavier lol, but sometimes, a good, softer interpretation brings out depth and meaning of songs too.
The dynamic straight off the bat with the little pause before the first verse,
Everything this dude touches turns gold. I would actually really like to see him covering Nothing Else Matters.
@droogie 24 welcome home
A Corey cover of Dyers Eve would be EPIC!
The world isn't ready for this much heaviness!!! It would destroy the entire world!!!
But with Slipknot
That and damage inc for me
@@logikman329
Check out revocations cover brutal heavy and awsome
We aren't ready.... Same as we aren't ready to hear Metallica play it again live, that song is pure fire
Finally!! This is the only song from the album that I've veen waiting to listen!!!
same here, and i am not disappointed
Ghosts Sandman is actually really good
Me too🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Dude ghost is dope
Coreys voice is the best I've ever heard!
Last Saturday I saw Slipknot in concert for my first time, been a Maggot for 20+ years and tonight this?!?!
Corey MF'n Taylor is a Vocal God!! He could sing the alphabet and I'd stop to listen.
Fuck, omg really?
Slipknot has been my favourite band since 99. None of my friends were ever into Slipknot and my parents were always super strict so I never got to see them. A couple of years ago they were supposed to play with Metallica and I finally bought tickets . But Metallica cancelled because James went to rehab. Then covid hit! I fuckin missed out 😭
@@natbarron ... Yes! They played Rocklahoma. It was their first time on stage in 18 months and Corey was wearing his new mask! I still feel like a giggling teenage girl. I can remember hearing their demo Coleslaw randomly and wanting more.
I was in a really bad wreck in November 2009. Depression sunk in while I was stuck in bed for a month. My then 16 year old son brought my CD player to the living room, where I was hanging out while I was bedbound, and put in a Slipknot CD. I know it's cliche but Slipknot helped save my life. I'd envision my body healing to their music, and I set myself a goal of being able to go see them.
When you have the chance to see them live... GO!!
I have always loved Corey. And his passion for rock and metal music. It shows he appreciates what he listened to or rocked out to himself. What person puts whiplash at the end Corey that’s who. Hell yeah!!!
Corey Taylor could sing the thesaurus.😎
Yes
Amazing as usual. Anything he does is awesome!
@Keanu Charles Reeves hello I’m from Texas
@@velinarodriguez4401 Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw.
This is the best cover from the whole Metallica Blacklist.
Before this dropped Weezer, Volbeat and Miley Cyrus were the best things going. I had huge hopes for this being great and was not disappointed.
I really liked the Volbeat one, but this one is better. 🤘
@@TheBrynosaurusRex i didn’t like the wheezer one at all
@@TheBrynosaurusRex I dont like the miley cyrus and wheezer covers at all tbh
@Fugh damn
That power in the end of song, I liked so much this cover.
Estaba esperando verlo en el álbum que subió Metallica, no lo encontre, pero al fin lo subio, BRUTAL. lo mas rescatable de Blacklist!!
The Hu y Rodrigo y Gabriela tampoco decepcionaron!
Juanes esta bien, el caso este cover es bueno pero es muuuuuuuuy parecido al original, la ecualizacion es lo que canbia pero de resto no mucho el caso, mucho mejor que otros
el cover de sad but true de royal blood es de lo mejor del blacklist
Deberías oír el cover de Volbeat
El de Ghost también es de lo más rescatable
i wouldn't be surprised if this song was a major inspiration for Corey Taylor's writing style
Spot on.. man I wish Corey would cover the whole fucking album 🔥🤘
No more crap rolls out your mouth again......best opener EVER!!!!!
Mad respect to the band! Nailed it and that lead guitar player shreds too!
Very Kirk like
The best song of all the disc
There is nothing Corey Taylor can’t sing!!! Always does an amazing job - love him!
@angie Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw.
I love this cover so much.
Would be interesting to hear Taylor sing Alice Cooper or a System of a Down
Omg yes please
Check out the Aaron Lewis and Corey Taylor cover of down in a hole
Yes😍
No one can cover Chop Suey better than Nekrogoblikon though. Haha
HAHA i said SYSTEM OF A DOWN BYOB or something just above.... so funny
Best Holier Than Thou cover. Great job Corey Taylor. Whiplash ending was phenomenal \m/
Everything you do in music is legend, is pure gold, is on another level and that’s why you’re the best 🔥
Agreed!
LOL Delusional fanboy. He's not even close to the best - Phil Anselmo in his prime destroyed Taylor.
@@dowens3781 phil? The pantera ex singer? Jaajjaajaj bro where 2022, don’t live in the past, stay in present day that’s mean, Corey is still rocking and more young than Phil, don’t compared them noob, both are legends.
@@danielvonterror8346
Who fucking cares what the year is? Great music is always great music and killer vocals are always killer vocals. Read my comment again and let it sink it.
Amazing!
@luciana Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw.
Already know this is gonna be DOPE!!
Best version ever ! With a singer who can sing even live :p and I looove Metallica, saw'em ;
just waiting to see Corey/slipknot or even Stone sour live
OMG...The best cover on this album
Volbeat к этому вопросу лучше подошли
Nope. Other than the half-time in verse 2 it's basically a re-make. Not a cover.
@@patrikkivekas5261 how is it not a cover lmao
Best is Volbeat
"But, but, but... people always says that the black álbum is a pop and comercial album, and there is not heavy in it! These All lie to me???"
Fucking heavy!!!
It WAS a commercial album. Have you heard Master of Puppets? and Justice for All? The Black album is WAY different and it was Metallica's way of breaking into the mainstream and it worked and it was brilliant.
I was interested why Metallica hadn't had a tribute album for so long and now it happens. I'm happy!
I'm just finding out now that's awesome!
There already is a Metallica Black Album tribute, released 10 years ago - and let me tell you that ICS Vortex singing "Don't Tread On Me" is something else
Wasn’t Master already done, there was Trivium, Machine Head, Mastodon on it. I can’t remember the others
Theres much more tributes albums check out Metal Militia Vol 1 and Vol 2
@@roswel47 those 2 are the best
Much respect for this guy live you man I'm 35 been listening to Corey since the beginning of him joining slipknot he's a fucking GOAT always will be keep it up brother will keep listening much love
So we all are in agreement Corey can fill in for any awesome band we love
Anything corey touches becomes Gold!
If everything he touches dosent turn into gold, then it turns into diamonds.
And this is a good example.
Corey showing respect with covering, great work man!!
Me quito el sombrero, un cover HERMOSo, pero el final puff una pasada, grande Corey 😎👍🏿🖤
Esto estaba hecho para él, simplemente épico ❤️
Lo único rescatable del blacklist, mi poderososisimo Corey Taylor 🥰❤️🤞
También el de Ghost está bueno.
El de Royal Blood, Volbeat, Biffy Clyro y The Warning son unas joyas también 🤘🤘🤘
@@mmf-rules y Rodrigo y Gabriela. 👌🏻
@@e.xplosia No menos importante, se la rifan /,,/
The warning, The HU y la mayoría si han sacado buenos la neta, este no decepciona aunque si es un cover igual a la canción, pero siempre quise una interpretada por Slipknot pero es Corey, cuenta como Slipknot completo.
Ok I seriously appreciate the attention to detail that went into this cover. Wow.
A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
We will watch your career with great intreat.
Beginning sweeeet...holier than thou!
My week has just improved 1 million % Back to my early twenties 🤘🤘🤘🤘🖤
@corrina Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw.
The bass break: sublime!
Holy fuk! That was good! And the ending! "Whiplash" !!! 🤘
Happy birthday corey,wish u all the best,and you are my favorite metal vocalist
Corey has recreated a masterpiece!
Corey is a no brainer for this!
3:48 moshpit! 🤯
We need the full cover of wiphlash!!
I love it 😻
@melissa Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw.
this one is amazing love it, great cover and nice putting his own stamp on the song.
For the first minute I thought it actually was James. Very well done, Corey!
I'd love Corey and his band to do the entire Black Album.
Same
Which band?
Ese muchacho me llena de orgullo. 🤘🏽😎
De las que más esperaba de este álbum tremenda versión sin duda alguna 🙌🙌🙌
CMFT PLEASE BECOME THE NEW LEAD VOCALIST OF LP!!! We can’t lose LP and the rock world elects you!!!!!!! And ONLY YOU!!!
Yeah!! Closing your eyes is like listening to Metallica, what a good production !! and the end closed very well!
the best cover
Love his Creeping Death cover and this one here! Epic! I hope he covers Dyers Eve!
Wowwwwww 😮 furious and amazing
@linette Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw.
I expected this to be fvckn amazing🤟..Corey has monstrous vocals💯
@maris Y'all are the damn best. I'm honored to have the kind of support that you show me, thank you. How are you doing it is nice meeting you here btw.
He so damn one of the best voice to sang a rock song! METALLICA BEAST FOREVER!!
Corey has an amazing voice and I love everything he does, even this is great, but still not the same. James is legendary. Still, better song than most being made in the industry now, in my opinion
Definitely killed it. Only other song to come up to par to ghosts rendition of enter sandman.
Damn, this is a great cover song from Taylor! The band was amazing and his vocal talents are on point for this song. Would love to hear him cover some other Metallica songs.
Corey tiene una excelente voz q NO he visto un cover q le haya salido mal ,he escuchado covers de otros artistas q hay algunos q no les salen bien ,pero esté man es uno de los mejores definitivamente.
I love you coreeeey🥰❤️
Greetings? 🥺
Right on. Totally Awesome Metallica Cover
Estos si son covers de los chingones 🤟🖤
Colombia te espera !
One of the very few Metallica covers that I actually love!!!!
Amazing cover
This is fucking amazing! Bravo Corey.
Amazing
Farging superb. Seriously blown away. I thought the Ghost 👻 cover was decent...not jumping up and down about that one like everyone else. But this one simply stomps ass!
I had no idea this existed, then saw the Metallica live broadcast in cinema - this song was used when the cameras showed the crowd, everyone was so hyped & I thought "well this voice sounds familiar!" 😂❤️
Love how they added that outro. I dunno if Lars is thinking; "Shit, why didn't we think of that?"
Whiplash! 🤘🏾🔥🔥
Outstanding! Kudos...
