Slipknot is my new obsession! Vocal ANALYSIS of 'Psychosocial' and Corey Taylor's valley girl fry!

My first experience hearing Corey Taylor's vocals was an acoustic version of "Snuff" and I knew then that I would love his entire catalogue. Then I heard Slipknot for the first time, and that vantage point shifted. I wasn't sure. Today, I'd consider myself almost a maggot. It's time!

Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to Slipknot performing "Psychosocial" for the first time.

Corey's clean vocals in this song give me chills after the hard music and harsh vocals. He's so good

[GinaBCosplay]

You should totally listen to older recordings for Slipknot, or the live performance at England 2002 to actually hear how he was singing "wrong." It was 10X more visceral and primal, which is what drew so many people in, but a more nuanced singer may be able to identify what was going wrong to cause blowout

[CoreyCaudle-mpzn]

Corey Taylor is one of the only vocalists that can sing you to sleep and sound like satan in the same breath

[INorth]

I think you would love Vermillion part 1 & 2! The contrasting styles, while still being so dark and heavy would make for a great reaction. Lots in those two tracks for you to dissect.

[timhmetal]

A heavy metal concert is a cleansing for the soul. You're right, singing in the choir or audience at a concert is healing beyond words because you're not being judged or singled out. You're coming together as one voice to be heard.

[ItsTheKeji]

@20:00 "THAT! Is that a Keg?! he's beating a keg.. Heheheh.. That's so metal!" Literally the cutest expression of metal excitement ever. 😂😂😂

[eRodriguez]

Just here to say that I LOVE the fact that you’re becoming a bit of a metal girl and that’s just amazing given your background… just really shows how much talent, pure emotion and lyrics that goes into the genre…

[jessaw]

I can't wait until Elizabeth gets to some tracks from Iowa. Yes, Corey was actively hurting his vocal chords on that album, but thats part of why that album is so amazing. You can hear and feel the pain, unlike on any other album. So dark, heavy, and visceral.

[allymcclendon]

It makes me so happy to see you finding so much joy in the musicality of this band that many of my friends have labeled “noise.”

[tarisedai]

I saw Slipknot live in my home city of Brisbane Australia and it was one of the best live shows I've ever seen. The energy is unmatched. I love that you gave this song the time and respect it deserves.

[PinkFreud]

Imagine an online interview with Corey and Elizabeth. What an episode that would be. Fancy contacting him, Elizabeth? Please? 🙏

[Luminouswolf]

One of the things I love about Slipknot is how I can very often hear something new each time I really sit down and just listen. There's 8 people performing together, and it's almost impossible to truly appreciate it all in one go.

[CompleteProducer]

My favorite MINUSCULE detail of this song is that in the final chorus, Corey adds harmonies to the entire chorus line (instead of certain parts). And when he says "all" you can really hear the minor tonality with the minor 3rd harmony highlighted. It sounds nerdy, but I anticipate that one part every time

[colinryan]

That "fire alarm" sound you're hearing would be none other than Craig Jones. That man finds the craziest samples and makes them work every time. Hes the subtle genius behind Slipknot.

[amandajanelovesicp]

You know the feeling you get when you share a song with a friend and they appreciate it and understand it. That’s the warm fuzzies I get watching all her videos.

[ericclark]

As a metal guitarist, I love watching her reactions to the instrumentation. Those "...huge jumps that go up into a very distorted sound..." are known as 'false harmonics' or 'pinch harmonics'. A guitarist uses the edge of their thumb on the trailing edge of picking a string in such a way that it forces the string into harmonic vibrations, often times at a much higher pitch than possible just using the available frets on the fingerboard.

[that-avr-drummer]

This is my favorite Slipknot song and as a drummer, my favorite to play! Joey simply tapped into everything that makes the drums great; powerful, thunderous, amazing "laid into" back beat....just awesome stuff!!!

[brianmonaghan]

Melodic slipknot with those clean vocals are where Slipknot separates from other metal bands. It’s just incredible to flip the switch from angst and anger of the harsh to that feel good melody that soothes the soul 🙌

[johnniifiveisalive]

You should listen to Wait And Bleed next🤞🏽The official music video is actually one of their first releases, and it was recorded live because it’s that raw and fulfilling. You’ll get to see and hear that old school Slipknot vibe😊

[severalsedrack]

This is one of the most important songs of modern metal… this is like 15 years old and bands today are still chasing this sound.
