[supermusickid667]

I was at my sisters school waiting to pick her up and i played this on my phone and some 6th grader (i'm in 7th) who sat a few inches away from me and my friend and she glared at me and turned to her friend and said something and then walked off, some people are stupid, but i will be a maggot for life! R.I.P PAUL

[ndavis1822]

@supermusickid667 i would have slapped the shit out of her haha

[supermusickid667]

@ndavis1822 believe me i wanted to! haha

[Gonzotabb]

@stupidmonkey151 I pretty sure it is more of a satirical approach to religion than satanism. You are taking all of this more seriously than the band does.

[stupidmonkey151]

@joushpop slipknot is one of the most satanic bands out there, so to break that to ya! But there is christian metal, look up as I lay dying..

[Crispy27]

@stupidmonkey151 Clueless

[stupidmonkey151]

@Crispy27 oh really? How am I clueless?

[JoeStrummerAlive]

@stupidmonkey151 slipknot satanic? oh, my god...

[unholyconfession93]

@stupidmonkey151 did you get your name from you IQ test results? slipknot is not satanic. for one people who are "satanist" don't worship Satan, they believe in the elements of the earth, the people who worship Satan are Anti-Christians, get your facts straight because people say 666 in a song does not mean they worship Satan. You are completely retarded and you need to learn your information and facts before you go stating something you think is right and post your stupidity all over youtube.

[stupidmonkey151]

@unholyconfession93 they're both dumbass.. And the whole song is about being exactly the opposite of a christian.. Not just them saying 666

[unholyconfession93]

@stupidmonkey151 *facepalm* you are so fucking ignorant..... satanist do not worship satan, anti-christians do. the lyrics say "if your 555 than i'm 666" the number associated with Christianity and god is 777 not 555, again your retarded and if you really do believe there "satanist" why were you watching one of there video's? or are you just one of those fucking trolls that has to bitch about everything to compensate for a tiny dick

[stupidmonkey151]

@unholyconfession93 555 is man 666 is the beast 777 is god.. I never said anything about 777 retard, once again, its the whole song.. " I wanna be a sinner" wtf does that sound like bro? Abs I'm not fucking trolling bitch

[unholyconfession93]

@stupidmonkey151 seriously though if you think slipknot is so devilish and worship's Satan (which seems your against it) why were you on one of there videos?

[phurt89]

@unholyconfession93 Dude I agree 100% with you that slipknot aren't satanic at all, but I don't think anti-christian means you worship Satan, I would consider myself anti-christian or anti religion altogether really and I don't worship Satan cus I don't believe in that either, and on Wikipedia it says Satanist are people who worship Satan? oh and @stupidmonkey151 your a retard..

[unholyconfession93]

@phurt89 well wikipedia is also edited by actual people which is why it's not always a reliable source

[drumaster666]

your welcome, i guess.

[josuepiscis]

:D OPIO :D

[thekingofthemaggots]

15 people didn't watch those idiosynracies

[Dude970715]

There's a mistake you made. It's suppose to be "Epic Instrumental"

[JoelWells1994]

@Dude970715 It's so E[ic Instrumental that it has lyrics :D

[Nickolas351290]

Well of course beliefs influence how a person is and the stuff they create. To some people their belief is their only influence. that must suck in retrospect though...

[Steeve123456789]

666 likes on this vid. life is good

[MegaJiol]

sing this to a girl in my school whever i see her

[peruketz]

A very underestimated song.

[joushpop]

that will be awsome if theres Christian Metaal

[joushpop]

this song reminds me of SYSTEM OF THE DOWN cause of the crazynest

[95TheDeftOne]

@joushpop Yeah, it's very SOAD-ish.

[joushpop]

ohh hope slipknot is not againdt god nor jesus ;(

[joushpop]

oh my god im not prepare either

[KattySciuridae]

epic !

[MegaJiol]

yep perfect for a girl in school i hope she listens to it ah hell my bands doin a cover of it so she will

[ianrobbins2]

:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:Dloved it

[cdak100]

13 people didnt know that all the way, was the only way

[jemjemlover]

@cdak100 18 ppl now.. xD

[ArielSlipknot]

OPIUM OF THE PEOPLE and SPIT IT OUT is a fucker song!



[GuitarBassC]

@ArielSlipknot What?! Is that an insult or a complement?!

[joushpop]

@ArielSlipknot is slipknot against god and jesus christ? i hope not im a fan of their songs except 3 songs

[tapecrafta]

@joushpop no idk why people always think that, i think most of the band is actually catholic lol so nope

[Blargaha]

@joushpop And how would that influence your enjoyment of the band? What they possibly believe in/ not belive in is their own business after all.

You would probably think I'm a pretty nice guy without knowing that I'm an hardcore atheist and scientific sceptic (P.E.A.R.List). You'd probably think I'm a nice guy after you know it too:)

Beliefs generally don't influence how a person is/ how the music they might create is..

And remember, religion IS the opium of the people;)

[MessiPower96]

i just say: FUCK IT ALL, FUCK THIS WORLD, FUCK EVERYTHING THAT YOU STAND FOR !

[kenneth2051]

@MessiPower96 i dont agree with you but love this song

[xWFCxSolidSnake]

I like Slipknot. But their fanbase can be retarded. @ride2war is a perfect example.

[lisenyoudontknowme]

this song makes me want to kill somebody

[EnigmaH1313]

POSERS, POSERS EVERYWHERE.

[puritymaggot1]

what does corey say at the end i hear "Why? Why do you hide Why? Why do you hide?" i may be wrong tho can somebody help

[ModernWarhead94]

the last 10 seconds are my favourite part

[MrMarkcastro]

@ModernWarhead94 what happened, did your bieber fever block you hearing?

[ModernWarhead94]

@MrMarkcastro oh i'm not slaggin off the song i like slipknot, just think the last 10 seconds are my favourite, and don't ever denounce me to that scumbag

[holly4dead]

@ModernWarhead94 hopefully you mean what the person wrote about slipknot, because slipknot awesome <3

[ModernWarhead94]

@holly4dead what are you talking about, you talk like a new age fan who only likes this album and all hope is gone, slipknot were the shit in 1999 and 2001, some people don't seem to know that though

[holly4dead]

@ModernWarhead94 i like all there albums, but there old stuff more as well. How am i speaking like an new age fan? I've been liking them for a years, I don't want this to end up in argument ._. but slipknot shall "the shit" < hopefully the way you meant it was in a good way because i meant it in that way too, you didnt mean it in as they are shit did you?

[ModernWarhead94]

@holly4dead i dunno i just hate seeing slipknot fans who only like them for All Hope is Gone, i mean it's a good album, but it's nothing compared to their first 2, Subliminal Versus was good better than AHIG, but i still don't understand you're first comment :P

[holly4dead]

@ModernWarhead94 How could you even say I'm a new age fan anyway? I didn't even say anything about only liking All Hope Is Gone. I love slipknot, and that means I love every single one of their songs and albums, and I still don't understand your fist comment either?

[holly4dead]

first*

[TheV12turbo]

/m/_

[josepunkthrashdude]

although ive grown out of nu metal mostly i still listen to slipknot every now and then and this album brings back memories to when i was in junior high :)

[tapecrafta]

when he says watch all the idiots fall on me i think of the time i was at a rolling stones concert in 2007 and some drunkard fell out of the stands on top of me, it was pretty funny

[jacks16390]

I'm so glad my friend had her ipod on shuffle, I never would've heard this song.

[jacks16390]

I'm so glad my friend had her ipod on shuffle, I never would've heard this song.

[slipknotbabe432]

no other band can top slipknot thumbs up if you agree

MAGGOT4LIFE

[poopieunderpants]

i got it soo wrong cuz i thought it was about an apocalypse :L

[onebraveheartlion]

I love this song and wonder why I cannot like peoples comments anymore??!! Why does everything I get used to change.?

[hairyknuckles1000]

Is this song about the British distribution of Opium to the Chinese?

[MrHugotrd]

@hairyknuckles1000 no opium of the people is religion

[TheSh4adow]

NOM NOM

[MrHugotrd]

I DONT CARE ABOUT COPYRIGHT RIGHTS JUST STFU AND ENJOY THE MUSIC!

[emoqueen1354]

this song makes me want to kill people :D ♥

[itsmurphywalsh]

the start sounded like a soad song to me

[SOAD636]

this song is #666 in my Ipod :D

[callofduter5]

This.........was........... AWESOME!

[ryanduds]

I don't like it.... But I thumbs up anyway cuz I thought I should b nice

[carrera1994]

This song makes me thinking of the end of capitalism.

America, greeced, ireland and all the other countries will go down in the next 5 years because we think about the things we do.

(sry for my bad english:) )

[MrSCREAMO33]

@IrishGuitarist Troll alert!

[IrishGuitarist]

@MrSCREAMO33 U mad brah?

[XxScavenxX]

@IrishGuitarist I see you many times on other Slipknot videos, In all the videos you post a stupid comment, plz just stop it

[islanderssuck1994]

They should disable the dislike button for this video, and well for any slipknot song

[sportsjunky1996]

The song is very antigod and also I was just stating my opinion

[halowars62]

man i'm so gonna say this in 2012(even if i don't believe it!XD)Oh - my - God

It's judgement day and I'm not prepared

Everybody out there's running scared

So - Take a little bit off the top

I don't care, just make it stop

[sportsjunky1996]

@halowars62 but god doesnt even exist

[halowars62]

@sportsjunky1996 who cares ?XD

[Jimmy171194]

@sportsjunky1996 Everyone has their own beliefs. I personnaly am an athiest, but im not going to attack people on youtube to try and prove them wrong. And i realise you may not have been attacking, but thats how it came across.

[slipknot48880]

I fucking love this song <333

[DenisAthletic2011]

why does this song kick so much as??? :O the most epic start to a song ever, except maybe Trivium's Iron maiden cover that was pretty cool

[DenisAthletic2011]

Long jump competition, what do it do for 2 hours before i jump??? LISTEN TO SLIPKNOT, COS NOTHING GETS YOU PUMPED AS MUCH AS THEIR MUSIC!!!

[prajamudakucing]

what is this song about? drugs addiction?

[arkraz1]

@prajamudakucing lol religion its quoting a quote from karl marx talking about religion being like a drug to the people, im a christian but i like this song anyway

[jaketno]

So the words were I will never huh. It always sounded like ownage so that's what I always said. Even though I knew that couldn't be right

[shyhockeyboy]

Dude I hope you know they can still make copyright infringement claims. Even if your not selling the stuff you still need written permission from the copyright holders.

[Jimmy171194]

@shyhockeyboy It got banned and i un-banned it :P

Intelligence wins :D

you just have to point out that ownership doesnt change, and its not your fault if someone watchs/dowloads it

i beat the man!!!! :D

oh, and another band some people may like is "Stuck in your Radio", they are amazing.

[nimyface]

@shyhockeyboy its called fair use law look it up

[shyhockeyboy]

@nimyface : dude, I know that law I am a business major and already took business law we covered the topic of copyrights. that law states you can use clips of copyrighted material. Like your local news may show some small clip of the slipknots music video to talk about their awards or success etc. That's legal and is what the fair use law is about. You can't grab the whole song and music video and post it and say it's fair use... the reason why is your stole their product .

[shyhockeyboy]

@nimyface : think of it like this... GM shows off a new concept car at the local autoshow... you find the keys and get inside of it... you yell fair use law... then yell all the copyright holders.. in this case the maker of the car and it's parts. Then you drive off.... with that car to park it at your local business. You say hey I wanted to show my customers what GM just made. It's fair use I didn't claim I made it. What I am saying you can't take the whole product and redistribute...

[shyhockeyboy]

@nimyface : without the copyright holders permission. so your so called Fair Use law is only good if your doing something like telling the public latest news on something. For instance IGN talks about video games coming in the near future mainly a year from now. They get screen shots and other content and even a list of what the game does etc. however you don't see them posting the whole game for download on their website. If they could for free they would of done it.

[shyhockeyboy]

@nimyface : I think you need to re-read and understand the fair use law.

"Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair"

go to : copyright.gov/fls/fl102.html

to read more.

[70fu]

@shyhockeyboy They don't care just aslong as you don't claim anything

[shyhockeyboy]

@70fu : oh boy they most care. Lots of them are money hungry. I almost got sued for posting a image in a board forum as an example of what I was talking about. 8 years after. The owner see's his photo and decides to open an account with that website just to bitch at me. Then I get in the mail letters from his lawyer that they will sue. The problem is that I sent a letter to the court to explain that situation and the courts dropped it. Since there is no proof they had on who did what.

[70fu]

@shyhockeyboy You are obviously at risk of it :P If i do something and they bitch at me i'll take it down lol I feel bad for you :P that's total bullshit.

[shyhockeyboy]

@70fu : ya, I took that image down. Yet, the man had it in for me. He wanted money. He filed a lawsuit against me. I had to write a letter to the court to drop the case. I told them the whole situation. By law they need to notify you of such infringement. You must comply with that complaint. Take down the copyright material. If you don't then no matter what you do. Your guilty. I got it dropped since they didn't notify me in a timely manner and I did take the image down.

[shyhockeyboy]

@shyhockeyboy : I didn't even own that website. Yet, the guy got my IP address from that website owner. I now don't go on that website. I wrote them a nasty letter. I found out they gave away my IP address information without a court order which is illegal. They need to have a court order to release such information. So my privacy rights been violated. I am just telling you guys that these people are out to get you. They want your money or your parents money for free.

[70fu]

@shyhockeyboy Fuckers :P Greedy little pricks!!!!!!!!!!!

[kruz200]

@ride2war the only thing that i noticed that i became more depressive when started to listen slipknot so be careful with it, i personally don't want to become an always depressive emo and so do you, i guess. But songs are really aces.

[MrVader14]

@ride2war I never thought there was anyone that would feel the same way as I would. I would tell my brother about this,(he's a huge slipknot fan too), and he would just look at me and ask me if I'm feeling alright...

MAGGOTS FOR LIFE

[itsallgood239]

@LeeehHemogenim Hahaha I remember when I was deep into listening to Slipknot I'd walk to the bus stop jamming to them...And I'd go to bed listening to them...It is crazy how deeply involved you get into a band haha.

[MattL883]

I SEE THAT SLIPKNOT HASN'T LOST THEIR RAP METAL TOUCH...GREAT SPEED-RAP METAL SONG....SPEED-RAP METAL AT IT'S FINEST!!!

[titytit]

@MattL883 not really rap metal, really just fast metal/fast heavy metal

[oriyama1]

@xx1994xxversion2 it does have something to do with religion.......... that's why the first word of the song is "GOD"

[ALEXmedochamArsch]

[SammyBoyEmo]

JUSTIN BIEBER

[sbdrummerr]

@SammyBoyEmo

fuck him ^^

but dont you think that this bieber shit is getting boring??

it just sucks to read his name everywhere

you´re only making him more famous ...

and i dont think that anyone wants to read this name again and again and again . . .. .

im getting tired of this crap

sry for bad english i´m german ...

[MrDanny70s]

@sbdrummerr I agree dude btw the english is pretty good

[idontknow80207]

@sbdrummerr your english is fine.

and i think you're right about the guy who your getting tired of hearing :)

[sportsjunky1996]

@sbdrummerr yeah ur english is really good, but i couldn't agree more.. were just causing all-out war over an artist we dont give a shit about

[sbdrummerr]

@sportsjunky1996

actually this is what i wanted to say

why cant we just "dont talk about him"

if little girls want to see justin bieber - then its ok

the bieber fans dont care about metal so we shouldnt care about bieber

infact this discussion is just pointless

there are just to many "metalheads" on youtube who think its cool to say mean things (i dont know how to say it different) about

a guy who dont even cares about metal

[Blommedreng]

@sbdrummerr STOP MENTIONING HIM!!! he's in Denmark today by the way :C

[gigaguy77]

@sbdrummerr es ist in Ordnung, ich bin der gleichen Weise
