I have contacted the record company in New York that holds the copyrights to slipknot songs. Some songs are belonged to 3 different companies and most are just 2.

I wanted to see how much it cost for licensing these songs. They told me to make an appointment to talk about licensing. They said it be $50,000 per hour. So I will have one hour. I said ok. but never made one. I think they are very greedy. I asked why is this. They were like we can't make that much in one hour. So either pay that or.

[shyhockeyboy]

@shyhockeyboy : Or we can make that elsewhere. Meaning they make at least $50,000 an hour. If you want to meet with them in one hour then you must pay that much. They won't waste an hour without making that much or more. So, I couldn't believe how greedy they are. I am trying to make some video games and wanted to put two slipknot songs in them. Yet looks like I won't be doing that. decided to just get a local band to do it for cheap.

[shyhockeyboy]

I think it's funny how many people gets different viewpoints on what this song means. I asked around many times. Most fans I talked to think this is about rebelling like being the devil. If your believe in this then I will destroy it. Some say it's warshipping the devil because he says 666. I hear many different views. I then hear the lead singer saying it's about music industries bullshit... meaning greed got to do things this way and that way.

[juggulo42]

whats the illuminati

[Wednesday13ism]

one asshole is 555

[shyhockeyboy]

What do you guys think this song is about? I think generally speaking it's about someone thinking they are holy and your not like them so your unholy. It's a sarcastic song saying oh ok your holey and I am not.. then it refers to the bullshit the person talks about... so he is lieing and wants to buy me and much more... in other words I am more holy then you yet you still think I am unholy and your holy. So the songs laughs and says ok.. whatever....

[Bret6298]

Heretic definition- anyone who does not conform to an established attitude, doctrine, or principle.

[Rohjas66]

@Bret6298 fuck then im a heretic :o WOOT!

[TheSlipknotmaggot11]

yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ProzacAddict75]

I'm 666. Who else is?

[thegrimreaper18102]

i was born 666 my enemies can be 555 ill kick their ass now

[rawrlilyful]

@Artmgjr you just reminded me of paul gray, and i cried my eyes out again, i didnt even know him, but i miss him so much!! r.i.p. paul gray, we <3 you!!

[WeLoveUs1001]

LOVE<3

[happyplant9]

yo the lyrics are fuckin sick as fuck!!! this isnt satanic, people asked them to make gay shit to play on the radio and they were like dude fuck that and made this haha. and ya its shitty that they went on to do that anyway but i think of it as when they first start they still have all that pain and anger and they just let it fly free, but then they become rich and dont have a worry in the world so if they still talked about all that misery then that would be kinda selling out to. idk

[godstrong96]

"I'M A POP STAR THREAT AND I'M NOT DEAD YET!" by far one of the greatest quotes/lyrics of all time

[dxrules93]

@godstrong96

Congratulations, you can post lyrics on a lyrics video.

[johnnyblackheart1977]

don't be a bunch of retards. It's black metal. That's all.

[lenydls74]

r.i.p. dude! slipknot, im 666!

[SuperKiller511]

they are not satanic actually slipknot are christian but they are not christian band lol. R.I.P Paul Gray

[Shoty13dee]

@Artmgjr blood sacrifice..

[GearHeadHeart]

what does "16,8,4" mean after he says 30 seconds?

[owner3457]

8,7,6,6,6,5,4,3,2,1,0

(silence)

YYYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH­!!!!!!!!!!

[phycosocial50]

in my opinion i think the song is about like if you the music industry is 555 [good or smart] then im 666 [evil or actual good music] i think its not about the devil because they are not devil warshepers

[XxBloodDipRazerxX]

no ther not santanic the are just the few who speak the turth and overdose my ass he was set up maggots for life!!!!!!!

[heffman102]

@Artmgjr man i totally agree 100%

[baker14231]

@Artmgjr someone's been reading too much dan brown i smell a rat but i dont think it was the iluminati

[someguyoverthere1]

i don't understand this song so they are satanic?

[slorr55]

@someguyoverthere1 Nop

[someguyoverthere1]

@slorr55 if not then what is tehs ong about

[slorr55]

@someguyoverthere1 Not to be a bunch of sell offs

[godstrong96]

@someguyoverthere1 it's also talking about how he wants to escape the ordinary I.E. 555(MAN) 666(BEAST)

[godstrong96]

@someguyoverthere1 it's also talking about how he wants to escape the ordinary I.E. 555(MAN) 666(BEAST)

[Roqy96]

@someguyoverthere1 in the chorus, 555 is basically normal, the usual, Joe Schmo, 666 is out of the ordinary, different, not being confided by the rules

[1hockeygoalie]

@someguyoverthere1 It's about being better than the rest. its being angry at record companies for asking them to make a "family friendly" song

[poeticpoverty]

@someguyoverthere1 not at all, just talking about hypocrites in the church, because he was molested by his preist.

[slipknot5567]

@someguyoverthere1 the point of the song is to tell every one to stop cramming their religion down other throughts

[MAGGOT1366]

@someguyoverthere1 555 represents the music industry, 666 represents Slipknot.

The numbers mean 555 = human/normal 666 = devil 777 = god

so what corey is saying is he dont/wont be normal he wants to be different he hates the music industry he wont be bought or sold

[shyhockeyboy]

@MAGGOT1366 that's a good theory but why is the song called Heretic's Anthem ???

look up the word heretic. I ask why is it call that. it usually is a word towards religion or a group of peoples beliefs.

Unless the song is about going against the music industries beliefs ???

[MAGGOT1366]

@shyhockeyboy Well obv its about the music industries beliefs. Like how its all for money and auto tuning and shit

this song is Corey saying FUCK YOU WE WONT BE BOUGHT WE WONT SELL OUR SOULS!

[shyhockeyboy]

@MAGGOT1366 : ya but if you look at the lyrics it's too generalize. He only says a industry killa. Dosen't specify. For me when I first heard this song. I thought it was being against really religious people. Like a person telling you your going to hell because you don't believe in their religion. So I thought it was a song being sarcastic saying oh ok... your 555 and Im 666. Then corey did say in a interview it was about the music industry. I wouldn't know this without him saying so.

[MAGGOT1366]

@shyhockeyboy what about the lyrics "I'm a pop star threat and im not dead yet"

[shyhockeyboy]

@MAGGOT1366 : In my opinion I thought he was being sarcastic. Like he is those religious people saying I am a pop star threat and I am not dead yet.... meaning the pop culture goes against religion but ranting on saying hey I am a threat to pop culture but I am still here... meaning pop culture didn't kill me meaning my religious believes. I am mostly wrong... I just want to educate myself. This song rocks. Just want to know true meaning of it. Corey did say it's about the music industr

[shyhockeyboy]

@MAGGOT1366 :

Now what about the lyrics everybody's so infatuated everybody's so completely sure of what we are. Everybody's defamates now wiki up defamation to know what that word means. more lyrics.... defamates from miles away... but face to face they got a thing to say.

To me this sounds like when you talk back to religious people they say things from their holy book as if it's factual. So it's like mocking them laughing that when your face to face with me you can't say a thing.

[eminem0980]

im 666

[slorr55]

@Artmgjr He dies because of a "accidental overdose"

[MegaDragonbutt]

@slorr55 so ur implying u think he died another way

[slorr55]

@MegaDragonbutt thats what the media said

[MegaDragonbutt]

@slorr55 and u cant trust them thts for damn sure

[slorr55]
