andrew kasper spot fuckin on. I think everyone has wanted them to play every song for the longest time they have been for a while now and when they do it's fucking amazing. I would sell a taco bell workers soul to see them front row
I was there and at this point a lot of the crowd fucked off cus they thought it killed the atmosphere. Which was a shame tbh. It was so important that I flew from the UK to see the show
Tommy really? I thought the intro from .5 The Gray Chapter killed the atmosphere in my opinion... It killed the atmosphere a little bit when they took Sarcastrophe off the set list
andrew kasper I think that's very wishful thinking. The reality is most likely that many fans in the crowd don't care much for the song or haven't listened to it much, as it's far from a typical Slipknot track.
The moment I heard rumors that they were gonna do this I bought tickets and then Clown announced it about five days later and I flipped out and bought my best friend tickets as well
EL Vroda he was probably on another level of traumatized. in like summer 2016 i kept looking for any version of iowa live longer than 4 minutes and corey said he did so much fucked shit recording it he couldn’t bare to do the whole thing. even though he’s sober you can hear the hopelessness and alcoholism come back in his voice here, i fuckin love this song but he’s so fucking done at the end lol. listening to this song mentally exhausts me. i couldn’t even imagine what he was feeling
@Rico Williams I see what you mean but the mental effect of years of struggle with mental health can be traumatizing in a moment when you fully just let it out, whatever has been bottled up inside the moment in that studio when he exhibited all that torment by being completely naked and cutting himself with glass exhibiting the pain he felt inside in a tangible visual manner, to go back to such a dark place when you're no longer there can be traumatizing. Anyhow, stay strong man, you're not alone🤘🏻
And how uneasy he is. His movements and shakes looks like he's not feeling quite himself while singing this song, which makes sense considering the background behind it...
@@phil_eggbat It is tho, as some with a diagnosed depression, I can tell you that there are days that are easier than other but it never goes away. At least not in my case.

Slipknot and Iowa, (the song) in particular is pretty much a live action macabre art piece. Everything and everyone on stage are in synchronized motion and cadence. They’re their own artful entity reciting their poetry. But it’s not just their lyrics that are poetic. It’s their expression; their anger, their pain, they’re wearing it on their sleeves. The way they make and perform their art acts as a sort of catharsis for them all simultaneously. It’s powerful; it’s profound
Blood Hawk I though they'd do one so that's why I never uploaded it and when the announcement came from the DVD of Knotfest Mexico everyone was anticipating Iowa to be released I decided to upload it. Not a pro shot but the best video on the internet that I've seen lol and the whole thing...believe me when I say my arm felt like jello after this set
i have to wait 90 days to change my name You’re a dick. Jonathan has gone through so much in life. His vocals are so rare and raw that you’ll ever hear.
When he was on the ground laughing and saying “I can smell you on me” referring to the corpse he was holding... chills man. I haven’t felt that kind of darkness in a long time
If they perform Iowa live nowadays it'd be godlike, cause of Corey's voice being like the voice he had during the Iowa period. If they're gonna ever perform it live again, I bet at least 70% of the old Slipknot fans will fly across the globe to see it
@@jesusgutierrez2608 sure, I totally understand what you're saying, but from the live performances today, I'm assuming that the screams will make for an even better show!
biscuit man i went to germany where there’s nothing around and listened to this for hours on end and i’ve been so obsessed with it since then (it was like a year and a month ago)
Its probably the crazy vocals and bass that makes you feel that way. Like the bass line just doesnt end, especially here where its 23 minutes long just feels even more impactful. The repetitiveness just really captures the insanity. Even einstein said something like: ''true insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting different results''
Cman Insider its different then you think yhe lights dont nessasarrily shine on them they shine on the crown some lights shine on them and they will be either strobing or a weird color making it hard to see and there are dark spots and it does get dark
@Cracker Man its still unknown as to why he said these but fans know they were in a bad place during the time of Iowa and they think he was yelling at one of the band members cuz corey was not ok during recording
@@lucamartinez9909 yeah corey was screaming at clown to not look at him bc he was so fucked up, bleeding from cuts, burned from candles, naked in the booth, just all kinds of fucked
this is why Slipknot is my favorite band & has been since i was 4. people say Slipknot "fell off" or "lightened up" but you can tell thats not the case at all. people forget that this record pretty much pushed everyone especially Corey to the most fucked up spot in their lives, as Corey said he almost killed himself this record/record cycle. this isnt something you play every night, this was a special night & for all us Maggots he opened himself up for us to see the still lingering pain & anger thats there. especially towards like 9:00 when he starts grabbing the metal thing on stage & screaming. those Iowa record vibes are still very much there, just harnessed more so now days. im glad he let it out & got lost in the track. at the end the way he softly said like goodnight thank you so much. sounds like he ran a marathon & is exhausted. cause he let that side of himself out. these dudes changed my life especially this record. ill forever be greatful for their music & the way theyve helped me through all my bs! thanks for this video man, it made my year!
imcnblu no problem they should've released the DVD for this. It was absolutely remarkable seeing it live. Be sure to subscribe like and share for more videos
@@celestialband Iowa was by far the darkest, most depressing, vile thing the band had ever written, let alone put into words. Iowa has such dark lyrics, dark meaning, filled with nothing but absolute hate and despair. The track itself is 905 seconds, or 15:05 long, but the live version was dragged out even longer. The significance here, is that the full song has never been played live, and up until today, this is the only time, 20 years after being recorded, that Iowa has ever been sung in full length live. Corey definitely conveys the worst emotion here, visibly showing the pain he feels, and re-expressing the emotions he felt while making the song. Corey was lying naked on the ground, burning himself with candle wax and cutting himself on shards of glass, throwing up on himself, while recording Iowa. It only took him two takes.
bigjohnthered1 this was my 6th time seeing them as well, they played it for the first time in full for the 15 year anniversary of Iowa. Be sure to subscribe and share for more videos \m/
bigjohnthered1 truth that is why I love it a cording to cory taylor himself he still can't listen to some of the songs on iowa because of were they go witch is so far out of the human mind that it would scar him if he listened to them that was from one of the interviews I saw cory in so explanning the album iowa would be to much for cory very good song I also like the hole album I got it when I was 12 years old my first slipknot album and I got it on a Sunday didn't go to church at all I was with my dad he bought it for me and I remember listening to all of its glory and darkness that it blew me away in my amazement I could actually understand what they were saying on this album it was a big fuck you to the music industry and all that they didn't want an other starting album they wanted iowa to be it's own brutal beast and it still is its beautiful in so many different ways I'm still fasanated by it always will be and listening to this live performance he is going through some real pain not for show but for real wow 😈😈😈😈👹👹👹👹
@@okalright3941 mate back when I wrote that comment I used to cut myself to this song, that's how I know it goes to that place that many people really don't understand or will ever go.
Played this when I was having a bad acid trip and believe it or not it really helped to calm me down. Despite it being such a dark song I find it real relaxing
You have no clue how happy i am you recorded this. This song is so rare live and for it to be just last year is amazing. You can really see the reason why they dont play it. Corey is not himself in this song at all. Its one of my favorites.
Cl0wn _6 hell yeah, that night was a once in a lifetime experience. I didn't even care that I was exhausted, arms cramping, and hardly standing, it was worth every second. Glad to see you liked it, be sure to subscribe and share for more videos \m/
Alex Murray well Jon was starting to feel the pain show by show and I think the Forum 2015 is where it really hit him. I’ll post the link here. The performance is just emotionally exhausting, there’s a part of Jon no one saw since 93 or 94, and it was just such an emotional performance.
Unreal... Corey even does the backwards vocals.. once in a life time thing to see, hope they do it for the 20th year since their debut or when Iowa hits 20
This is the type of music that everyone wants to hear in live because it's a rarity, but they never want it to be played continuously on a tour, because it's a unique and inhuman state of a broken, destroyed, devastated and tormented mind that nobody thinks about getting there, but when it does, it's like a nightmare as a kid, you never want to have those thoughts again, and that's what brings all the macabre and sober air to this song. As is clear from the images and the screams heard throughout this "session", it was a hard trip into the past for Corey, I think he needed to do this because of the pressure of the fans who always wanted or dreamed of hearing Iowa in his full and purest legitimate state of pain and suffering seen within the album, and I can say that this experience gets clearer and worse to see it in live, it's like seeing a complete suicide of his closest friend, but in the slowest and most painful way as possible, for bring to you eternal trauma to your long and miserable life that awaits you. It's really necessary to give Corey a standing ovation for having done this for the fans, it's like a achievement made for him that took that weight off his back of having to play this song for completely, and for the fans, who finally had the opportunity to see in high quality what Iowa is all about in its purest state. It was certainly one of the most difficult songs to play live for all his history and meaning within the album and the band, but we should know an important detail, playing this song involves being willing to have a severe and hard time of pain and suffering that you wouldn't want on your worst enemy, so we must never force Corey and Slipknot to play Iowa all over again, for Corey's sake, for the band's sake, and for all of us.
This reminds me of Korn playing Daddy at the Forum in 2015... all the pain caught up to Jon and completely destroyed him by the end of the show. I feel as though Corey feels the same with Iowa, all of the character’s feelings are catching up to him.
@Rico Williams Dude. Shut the fuck up. If you think Daddy is so much better than go listen to that song and rub off because its so much darker and crazier than Slipknot. Good fucking God. Get over yourself.
Rico Williams I said character so it’s not referring to an actual person. I was referring to the demons in Corey’s head. I should’ve elaborated on that a little sooner.
I gave it some thought these days 'cause i just discovered this song and i don't think it is accurate to compare the songs Daddy: a victim's story of rape (Being a real story) to Iowa: a tale of (possible) murder and dead raping and madness. It's like saying poor you who raped a corpse, it sounds off 😌 Nevertheless, backstory wise both very disturbing but not for the same reasons. The only reasons why Iowa is painful is for the deconstruction it puts us and the band in: a truely disturbed mind(whether it's but intoxicating yourself or by basically abusing another being), and also the backstory concerning the recording with the glass and the screaming and all, but again, to me it's about not being yourself, to a certain extent to suppress yourself, exiting from your own shell of sanity/health (regarding the drugs). Then Daddy is more about being torn(autocorrect suggested korn weirdly enough) inside out, being raped of a piece of your soul when you never asked for it (espacially as a kid), overall, being a victim and this goes on and on because you weren't believed, when Jonathan breaks down during this song and performances, it's his past that shows up, so many repressed feelings, that he probably grew up to understand, rationalize... etc, he is struck by all those things that traumatized him. Definitely not the same kind of pain. I shouldn't be spending that much time analyzing all this... It's so much evil and hurt... okay goodnight !
i spent 2 years looking for the real intro tabs or anything that would teach me how to play it. the closest i’ve gotten is f#, f#, b, e, and it’s just e----11----- b---------9- f#------12--- f#----------0 (i hope at least one person in need of help will see this lol)
No joke, this is literally like a light psychedelic trip. Pitch dark yet beautiful. It gives me emotions that i don’t quite know how to explain. I’m planning on having a couple of grams of cubensis and get lost in this very video again to see how it feels. Bad trips help grow your mind. Wish me luck.
at 15:06 you can hear a drumfill, which is where the actual song ends, implying that proper time was kept the entire 15 minutes until that point. Apex of musicians edit: its at 15:03 which carries into 15:06
I was standing right bout where you were. Hands down the best fuxking show I've ever seen. Ever! Seen the debut in 99 on stage 3, and then give me goosebumps here. Coreys voice is phenomenal and the way he transforms onstage.... there will NEVER be another Iowa performance like this night. And the snow with Gently! Hail to the knot!
FrankNMarie Banales that’s fucken dope you were there for their debut. I was like 8 years old with no clue what metal was still ahhaa. I agree there will never be another night like this one for slipknot. Be sure to subscribe for more videos and share so other people can see \m/
0:00 - beginning and buffing for Iowa 8:07 - Corey left the scene 9:07 - He went back to Iowa mind state 15:26 - Came back to stage until 18:09, where he's gone out again... 21:35- someone from croew summoning Corey, he turns his head toward the guy then goes back to Band 23:19 - end of one of the most legendary metal songs in world...
The fact that v man and jay hadn’t even been in the band for 2 whole years at this point and they had the privilege of playing a song that the two legends before hadn’t gotten the chance to play in its entirety live. That just shows the faith the band has in these two and how much they’ve brought to the band
They have played Iowa in its entirety in 2002, actually, the first time it was played live at all, I believe. Everyone was drunk though and Corey forgot half the lyrics.
Unreal how can bring that sound back!! That feeling and vibe too! They say the Iowa and debut scream is difficult to do because it’s literally screaming adding distortion
Breathtaking, but I feel like this wasn't for me to witness, for anyone to witness honestly. Perhaps it was good for Corey to get this out, but it hurt a little to watch. I think we take for granted the heaviness of Iowa, the song and album. It wasn't just heavy because it sounded cool. It was heavy because there was layers upon layers of shit that each member was dealing with. We don't truly want Iowa back.
@@americaisakillingname4416 right, but those screams were fueled by legitimate anguish. For me personally, wishing for them to revisit that sound feels like wishing them to be in anguish again.
@@therealmalady7373 that's true. I think Corey's scream on their new single is even better than Iowa, it feels like a mix between WANYK and Iowa, which results in his best screams. The Chapeltown Rag is absolute flames
@@americaisakillingname4416 it is, I believe Slipknot is delivering the brutality everyone has been holding their breath for that wasn't *quite* there for WANYK. Not to the extent of Chapeltown Rag. It's not my favorite Slipknot by any means, but I can't at all deny the intensity of it!
My dad and I agree that Corey went back to a dark place that night. We were both there and felt it hardcore. I'm so glad we got to experience a rare event like this, especially since this whole record helped us through a really rough point in our lives.
Alyus Dickey yeah I was anticipating this because of the anniversary of the album but I never thought they'd actually go for it haha it was a mind blowing show. Subscribe for more videos I have a couple live albums uploaded from other bands and full shows too
This song puts me in a spot that I absolutely hate being in mentally. But it Also calms me in a weird way. It makes me think someone will do to me what this song is about. And I am a ghost watching it happen to me.
It’s so mesmerizing and fascinating how rare they perform this. It’s like the song itself is a sacred ritual for them to perform. Mostly due to how much it takes out of Corey. Its a complete purge of all that anger and dark shit out of them.
When i use my earphone to hear this, and WOW!! It's so amazing! Even I'm not there, but i can feel how incredible this show is. I can't describe, but this one is different.
Insane how Corey Taylor can pull off those rough of vocals so crisp and clear. On beat too. Fuck he is insane! Love his music! This whole album my favorite. Really brings it back to the deep core of Slipknot back n the day
this is one of the best live performances by slipknot I've ever seen it's so intense and cory sounds like he is dieing himself and going through some real pain not for show but real I mean like personal pain it's intense and insane and magical at the same time they did well with this it's so deep and ruthless and ruff and a constant blood flow from cuts and stabbs from his voice it's almost impossible to describe in words it's dark and bloody brilliant 😜
He was at a really dark point. He was dealing with alcaholism, and in the studio he was cutting himself with glass, vomiting and thats why he struggles performing it. It takes him back.
it amazes me how he didnt give a shit in attempting to perform this with proper vocal technique, je hust went as raw as the album version, truly screaming his guts out, obviously his voice cracked so much, he could affort to do it with that same power and consitency as back in the day, but it was highly apretiated how he showed he still had that rawness for a moment, he ended really fucked up, IOWA is no joke
Every time I hear this song it brings me to tears because it reminds of what pain they were feeling at the time, can’t even imagine how it was for them
When Corey comes in with “are you ready now?” That’s NOT him. That is 2001 suicidal alcoholic drug addict Corey come back to life, and it’s fucking crazy. Inhuman almost.
Now they just need to play Scissors. It's been 15+ YEARS since they touched that one! If that's because of personal reasons though, then I can understand why they don't.

@@_rchives_rchived yes,its around 8-10 minutes he did a backwarded vocal like the original one.

this is a song that i listen like 2 times a year in its Entirety because its so disturbing to listen
long live the knot
9:10 is when I knew Corey was no longer on stage
Iowa Corey has taken over.
The cheers after.
They knew Corey had left the stage.
That was his inner demon screaming.
That part scared me still does
Corey went into another dimension.
Corey was NOT ok by the end...
Frenzied Alpaca He wasn't okay when he first recorded it. None of them were.
The song wad created in a dark time, and i assume this is how the band release tensions between each other in this dark tune.
Jk Arts especially because Corey was cutting himself while recording
Frenzied Alpaca but he sounded amazing.
Man, 20 minutes of IOWA. Do you think he could be "ok" ?
v-man nailed those basslines
Sam Mitchell Just like paul ♥️
Cman Insider its for when its harder to see stuff so he turns them on i dont think its really about style
Cman Insider its different then you think yhe lights dont nessasarrily shine on them they shine on the crown some lights shine on them and they will be either strobing or a weird color making it hard to see and there are dark spots and it does get dark
Cman Insider nah you just dont know how lights work tho have you tried to do shit in flurecent lights
Cman Insider so then you should know how the lights are
Imagine the people who’s first slipknot concert. Or didn’t even know the band and just went along with a friend
Lads who don't even know Slipknot walking out of the concert with four new mental illnesses.
Or just realized they saw a BADASS show.
@@Gunslingerwashere yeah, I could imagine them walking out with 6 different types of PTSD
Corey went as far as to talking backwards on that verse
@Cracker Man he says dont look at me on the first one and then all hope is gone on the second
@Cracker Man its still unknown as to why he said these but fans know they were in a bad place during the time of Iowa and they think he was yelling at one of the band members cuz corey was not ok during recording
@@lucamartinez9909 yeah corey was screaming at clown to not look at him bc he was so fucked up, bleeding from cuts, burned from candles, naked in the booth, just all kinds of fucked
this is why Slipknot is my favorite band & has been since i was 4. people say Slipknot "fell off" or "lightened up" but you can tell thats not the case at all. people forget that this record pretty much pushed everyone especially Corey to the most fucked up spot in their lives, as Corey said he almost killed himself this record/record cycle. this isnt something you play every night, this was a special night & for all us Maggots he opened himself up for us to see the still lingering pain & anger thats there. especially towards like 9:00 when he starts grabbing the metal thing on stage & screaming. those Iowa record vibes are still very much there, just harnessed more so now days. im glad he let it out & got lost in the track. at the end the way he softly said like goodnight thank you so much. sounds like he ran a marathon & is exhausted. cause he let that side of himself out. these dudes changed my life especially this record. ill forever be greatful for their music & the way theyve helped me through all my bs! thanks for this video man, it made my year!
But, it was pretty sad.. seeing him go through all of that stuff connected with this album.. just kills me inside
that was amazing. truly an experience. i am jealous of those who got to see and hear it live.
*finally* a video that shows literally the entire song. From the first bass note to the last. Thanks for this!
imcnblu no problem they should've released the DVD for this. It was absolutely remarkable seeing it live. Be sure to subscribe like and share for more videos
This is the only playthrough of the entire song out there
What is the significance of this song ?
@@celestialband Iowa was by far the darkest, most depressing, vile thing the band had ever written, let alone put into words. Iowa has such dark lyrics, dark meaning, filled with nothing but absolute hate and despair. The track itself is 905 seconds, or 15:05 long, but the live version was dragged out even longer. The significance here, is that the full song has never been played live, and up until today, this is the only time, 20 years after being recorded, that Iowa has ever been sung in full length live. Corey definitely conveys the worst emotion here, visibly showing the pain he feels, and re-expressing the emotions he felt while making the song. Corey was lying naked on the ground, burning himself with candle wax and cutting himself on shards of glass, throwing up on himself, while recording Iowa. It only took him two takes.
@@KirePlasmaX The whole song and then some
You can feel every single emotion on Corey's screams holy shit
Seen them 6 times never played this in full. This goes to the darkest recess of a damaged mind
bigjohnthered1 this was my 6th time seeing them as well, they played it for the first time in full for the 15 year anniversary of Iowa. Be sure to subscribe and share for more videos \m/
Jesus Gutierrez I see why they don't play it too often, it delves into the dark recesses of the soul.
bigjohnthered1 truth that is why I love it a cording to cory taylor himself he still can't listen to some of the songs on iowa because of were they go witch is so far out of the human mind that it would scar him if he listened to them that was from one of the interviews I saw cory in so explanning the album iowa would be to much for cory very good song I also like the hole album I got it when I was 12 years old my first slipknot album and I got it on a Sunday didn't go to church at all I was with my dad he bought it for me and I remember listening to all of its glory and darkness that it blew me away in my amazement I could actually understand what they were saying on this album it was a big fuck you to the music industry and all that they didn't want an other starting album they wanted iowa to be it's own brutal beast and it still is its beautiful in so many different ways I'm still fasanated by it always will be and listening to this live performance he is going through some real pain not for show but for real wow 😈😈😈😈👹👹👹👹
@@bigjohnthered1 Corey wasnt ok while performing this. He goes into a bad mental state. Do you really want that?
@@okalright3941 mate back when I wrote that comment I used to cut myself to this song, that's how I know it goes to that place that many people really don't understand or will ever go.
I love how mick just stands like a statue until his part comes in, it’s just so cool
I don't really know to who he was yelling "is this what you wanted?" But I can't help to be totally freaked out by the way he says it.
Raymond Omar Santiago
This is*
Bob Paul my bad 😂
i think it’s because he was getting divorced (honestly i have no fucking idea but it still scares the shit out of me and i love it)
Well the song is about fucking a corpse, so I'm guessing he's referring to the corpse.
He was yelling to his personal demons in his head
Played this when I was having a bad acid trip and believe it or not it really helped to calm me down.
Despite it being such a dark song I find it real relaxing
Wtf why do you drink acid

You have no clue how happy i am you recorded this. This song is so rare live and for it to be just last year is amazing. You can really see the reason why they dont play it. Corey is not himself in this song at all. Its one of my favorites.

Corey wasn't himself during this.
Corey was #8 during this.
brianyzq777 Thats exactly the point of it
Jesus Gutierrez your the man we need but not what we deserve xD
@@brianyzq7776 he was the Sicness of iowa
They need to play IOWA Complete again and again! OR they give us a DVD with this Show!!!!!!
that isn't happening, did you see how fucked up corey was at the end of this? but i do hope for a DVD
there's a reason why they never play it
Maggot4680 they made that song during the most darkest times of their lives but I hope for an official DVD of the performance
No. Songs like this are special for a reason. Just like Daddy by Korn, only played once or twice live EVER, and with good reason.
Alex Murray well Jon was starting to feel the pain show by show and I think the Forum 2015 is where it really hit him. I’ll post the link here. The performance is just emotionally exhausting, there’s a part of Jon no one saw since 93 or 94, and it was just such an emotional performance.
Unreal... Corey even does the backwards vocals.. once in a life time thing to see, hope they do it for the 20th year since their debut or when Iowa hits 20
One of the most dark, disturbing, yet beautiful songs of all time.
This is the type of music that everyone wants to hear in live because it's a rarity, but they never want it to be played continuously on a tour, because it's a unique and inhuman state of a broken, destroyed, devastated and tormented mind that nobody thinks about getting there, but when it does, it's like a nightmare as a kid, you never want to have those thoughts again, and that's what brings all the macabre and sober air to this song.
As is clear from the images and the screams heard throughout this "session", it was a hard trip into the past for Corey, I think he needed to do this because of the pressure of the fans who always wanted or dreamed of hearing Iowa in his full and purest legitimate state of pain and suffering seen within the album, and I can say that this experience gets clearer and worse to see it in live, it's like seeing a complete suicide of his closest friend, but in the slowest and most painful way as possible, for bring to you eternal trauma to your long and miserable life that awaits you.
It's really necessary to give Corey a standing ovation for having done this for the fans, it's like a achievement made for him that took that weight off his back of having to play this song for completely, and for the fans, who finally had the opportunity to see in high quality what Iowa is all about in its purest state. It was certainly one of the most difficult songs to play live for all his history and meaning within the album and the band, but we should know an important detail, playing this song involves being willing to have a severe and hard time of pain and suffering that you wouldn't want on your worst enemy, so we must never force Corey and Slipknot to play Iowa all over again, for Corey's sake, for the band's sake, and for all of us.
3:55 Corey’s scream gives me chills on my spine
Hugh Mungus that’s basically his demons just now arriving
That’s not Corey, that’s number 8
This reminds me of Korn playing Daddy at the Forum in 2015... all the pain caught up to Jon and completely destroyed him by the end of the show. I feel as though Corey feels the same with Iowa, all of the character’s feelings are catching up to him.
@Rico Williams Dude. Shut the fuck up. If you think Daddy is so much better than go listen to that song and rub off because its so much darker and crazier than Slipknot. Good fucking God. Get over yourself.
Rico Williams I said character so it’s not referring to an actual person. I was referring to the demons in Corey’s head. I should’ve elaborated on that a little sooner.
@@Xeroforte Chill man xD
I gave it some thought these days 'cause i just discovered this song and i don't think it is accurate to compare the songs Daddy: a victim's story of rape (Being a real story) to Iowa: a tale of (possible) murder and dead raping and madness. It's like saying poor you who raped a corpse, it sounds off 😌
Nevertheless, backstory wise both very disturbing but not for the same reasons. The only reasons why Iowa is painful is for the deconstruction it puts us and the band in: a truely disturbed mind(whether it's but intoxicating yourself or by basically abusing another being), and also the backstory concerning the recording with the glass and the screaming and all, but again, to me it's about not being yourself, to a certain extent to suppress yourself, exiting from your own shell of sanity/health (regarding the drugs). Then Daddy is more about being torn(autocorrect suggested korn weirdly enough) inside out, being raped of a piece of your soul when you never asked for it (espacially as a kid), overall, being a victim and this goes on and on because you weren't believed, when Jonathan breaks down during this song and performances, it's his past that shows up, so many repressed feelings, that he probably grew up to understand, rationalize... etc, he is struck by all those things that traumatized him.
Definitely not the same kind of pain.
I shouldn't be spending that much time analyzing all this... It's so much evil and hurt... okay goodnight !
@Rico Williams Cory was raped. The song Diluted is about it.
Not gonna lie..this is probably the most unsettling concert Video I've ever seen 😅
Ending was great, i wanna play 22:40 forever
This is absolutely incredible.
i spent 2 years looking for the real intro tabs or anything that would teach me how to play it. the closest i’ve gotten is f#, f#, b, e, and it’s just
e----11-----
b---------9-
f#------12---
f#----------0
(i hope at least one person in need of help will see this lol)
ill try that once i have my bass within reach again.
@@XFC856 on guitar yes, but on bass its f#
The tuning that works best is BADG ,
Michael Plus the low note is for sure an f#.
16 e. 12-14 b
you can tell corey just forgot the audience was there for a moment
Man...you can just feel that performance just as you could in the studio version.
This honestly made me choke up. This was something else entirely.
No joke, this is literally like a light psychedelic trip. Pitch dark yet beautiful. It gives me emotions that i don’t quite know how to explain.
I’m planning on having a couple of grams of cubensis and get lost in this very video again to see how it feels. Bad trips help grow your mind. Wish me luck.
howd it go? :P
@@jasek1art172 I'm still here so
Godspeed my friend
It’s absolutely a dark, tribal experience. Puts me in a sadomasochistic psycho trance
Corey, again, proving what a genius of a vocalist he is.
The most amazing track - Corey’s voice on this is mind-blowing. Yep, this is music.
The fact that this is 8 minutes longer than the studio version is mad Jarvis
The original version was like thirty minutes, if I remember correctly.
at 15:06 you can hear a drumfill, which is where the actual song ends, implying that proper time was kept the entire 15 minutes until that point. Apex of musicians
edit: its at 15:03 which carries into 15:06
I was standing right bout where you were. Hands down the best fuxking show I've ever seen. Ever! Seen the debut in 99 on stage 3, and then give me goosebumps here. Coreys voice is phenomenal and the way he transforms onstage.... there will NEVER be another Iowa performance like this night. And the snow with Gently! Hail to the knot!
FrankNMarie Banales that’s fucken dope you were there for their debut. I was like 8 years old with no clue what metal was still ahhaa. I agree there will never be another night like this one for slipknot. Be sure to subscribe for more videos and share so other people can see \m/

A fact that probally few people know: This song was written by Craig Jones,and the original name of this one is "Killers Are Quiet".
yeah back with anders
0:00 - beginning and buffing for Iowa
8:07 - Corey left the scene
9:07 - He went back to Iowa mind state
15:26 - Came back to stage until 18:09, where he's gone out again...
21:35- someone from croew summoning Corey, he turns his head toward the guy then goes back to Band
23:19 - end of one of the most legendary metal songs in world...
The fact that v man and jay hadn’t even been in the band for 2 whole years at this point and they had the privilege of playing a song that the two legends before hadn’t gotten the chance to play in its entirety live. That just shows the faith the band has in these two and how much they’ve brought to the band
What are you talking about
That your favorite word huh 😂😂 wtf is the fact I look all the comments people don’t say that word is just 😂😂 is a new word
They have played Iowa in its entirety in 2002, actually, the first time it was played live at all, I believe. Everyone was drunk though and Corey forgot half the lyrics.
All the New fans prolly thought this was unreleased
Idk man I need a name to this
15:25 we see 1999's Corey.
1999 Corey was something else man
Hruday 1999 Corey didn’t sound that good that was 2001 corey
Unreal how can bring that sound back!! That feeling and vibe too! They say the Iowa and debut scream is difficult to do because it’s literally screaming adding distortion
1999s corey is another is inhuman
2001
Breathtaking, but I feel like this wasn't for me to witness, for anyone to witness honestly. Perhaps it was good for Corey to get this out, but it hurt a little to watch. I think we take for granted the heaviness of Iowa, the song and album. It wasn't just heavy because it sounded cool. It was heavy because there was layers upon layers of shit that each member was dealing with. We don't truly want Iowa back.
Damn I think I agree with you..
We don't want Iowa back, but we want a scream as intense as Iowa's
@@americaisakillingname4416 right, but those screams were fueled by legitimate anguish. For me personally, wishing for them to revisit that sound feels like wishing them to be in anguish again.
@@therealmalady7373 that's true. I think Corey's scream on their new single is even better than Iowa, it feels like a mix between WANYK and Iowa, which results in his best screams. The Chapeltown Rag is absolute flames
@@americaisakillingname4416 it is, I believe Slipknot is delivering the brutality everyone has been holding their breath for that wasn't *quite* there for WANYK. Not to the extent of Chapeltown Rag. It's not my favorite Slipknot by any means, but I can't at all deny the intensity of it!
My dad and I agree that Corey went back to a dark place that night. We were both there and felt it hardcore. I'm so glad we got to experience a rare event like this, especially since this whole record helped us through a really rough point in our lives.
The vibe of this performance grips you. It is uncomfortable, but so amazingly badass. I would LOVE to see this live.
I fall asleep to this song all the time with it on repeat. Such a fucked up yet very relaxing song
nooo wayyy! i was wandering if it was ever gonna happen and doubted it would. but here it is!
Alyus Dickey yeah I was anticipating this because of the anniversary of the album but I never thought they'd actually go for it haha it was a mind blowing show. Subscribe for more videos I have a couple live albums uploaded from other bands and full shows too
Jesus Gutierrez you are very lucky! you have witnessed something very unique. you just earned yourself a subscriber! 👍
They played it live in 2004/05 but it was cut down to about 5 minutes long, just played the main verses
Vol. 3 scream at 5:39
Hey you can hear too?
No matter how many times I see this video, it never gets old.
This song puts me in a spot that I absolutely hate being in mentally. But it Also calms me in a weird way. It makes me think someone will do to me what this song is about. And I am a ghost watching it happen to me.
Jay and vman destroyed!
the way he talks at the very end....very soft....he sounds like he's just done with life at that point
I wish Paul was here for this.
Vman did a fantastic job. 👍
Jay also did a good job
It’s so mesmerizing and fascinating how rare they perform this. It’s like the song itself is a sacred ritual for them to perform. Mostly due to how much it takes out of Corey. Its a complete purge of all that anger and dark shit out of them.
When i use my earphone to hear this, and WOW!! It's so amazing! Even I'm not there, but i can feel how incredible this show is. I can't describe, but this one is different.
Insane how Corey Taylor can pull off those rough of vocals so crisp and clear. On beat too. Fuck he is insane! Love his music! This whole album my favorite. Really brings it back to the deep core of Slipknot back n the day
this is one of the best live performances by slipknot I've ever seen it's so intense and cory sounds like he is dieing himself and going through some real pain not for show but real I mean like personal pain it's intense and insane and magical at the same time they did well with this it's so deep and ruthless and ruff and a constant blood flow from cuts and stabbs from his voice it's almost impossible to describe in words it's dark and bloody brilliant 😜
SCOTT MACKIE the deepest and darkest they've ever performed
Its what the song does to people man
pretty sure he was getting divorced so it makes a lot of sense now
He was at a really dark point. He was dealing with alcaholism, and in the studio he was cutting himself with glass, vomiting and thats why he struggles performing it. It takes him back.
From 15.25 witness and listen to something quite extraordinary...and brilliant, naturally.
i love that they perform this song, even at 2016, it's still sound creepy
Chrirstoper Abiel Never question Slipknot's heaviness, no matter what year it is 😏
This is the only time it’s ever been played live . In full.
I thought this would never happen, I know it kinda happened back in 2004 but Jesus they pulled it off in this one.
Last time Corey screamed with this much raw emotion was all the way back in 2002 I think...Holy shit I fucking love this
Im glad Chris was a part of this performance. Vman and Jay are great, but would be insane to see Paul and Joey play this since they helped create it
it amazes me how he didnt give a shit in attempting to perform this with proper vocal technique, je hust went as raw as the album version, truly screaming his guts out, obviously his voice cracked so much, he could affort to do it with that same power and consitency as back in the day, but it was highly apretiated how he showed he still had that rawness for a moment, he ended really fucked up, IOWA is no joke
One of my favorite and long song. Can't believe they can play it live. Long live Slipknot!!🤘🤘🤘
this video is my therapy
Wow. Corey went back there.
Such a brutally written song, having a relationship with a corpse, what a gem by SLIPKNOT!
Every time I hear this song it brings me to tears because it reminds of what pain they were feeling at the time, can’t even imagine how it was for them
Luv this song. Everyday I listen to it.
When Corey comes in with “are you ready now?” That’s NOT him. That is 2001 suicidal alcoholic drug addict Corey come back to life, and it’s fucking crazy. Inhuman almost.
Huge thanks to you who hold the camera for the entire song just so we can enjoy it. Your will not be forgotten.
So fucking brutal, thanks for uploading this man \m/

This is up there with like seeing an actual unicorn in a forest or a blue moon or something
This song is just so dark and beautiful
17:50-18:20 was gnarly. You can tell he really went back into that mindset he had when he recorded the song. Unreal legendary performance
Now they just need to play Scissors. It's been 15+ YEARS since they touched that one! If that's because of personal reasons though, then I can understand why they don't.
I need to see Scissors live again 😫
They gotta bring the fire barrel back 😛
I don't think it's personal reasons.
Joey wrote the lyrics and it's Corey's favorite song to play
@@sonder152 it's cause I believe it was how crazy they got and corey being set on fire EVERY time...that might be true I don't really remember
