What Is The Best Song By Slipknot

From the ashes of the weekly song poll rises “What Is The Best Song By”. A very similar segment where I want to know what your favourite song(s) by the selected artist is! You can let us know in the comments!

The best thing is that if you don’t know the artist then you can see both our recommendations as well as those by other people.

Fox’s Recommendations

While this song might on the surface feel aggressive it’s deeply relatable if you look into the lyrics. It has a massive hook which balances the accessibility of Slipknot with their pure unheld back aggression. The gateway song for sure.

Slipknot – Duality (All Rights Are Retained By Slipknot)

You want some early slipknot? Well even if you don’t I’m giving it to you! With its frantic energy and strange vocal framing. It contains a punky chaos that only helps that catchy chorus stick so well.

Slipknot – Wait And Bleed (All Rights Are Retained By Slipknot)

Fox’s Wildcard

This is truly something special in the Slipknot catalogue, a stripped back song with emotional vulnerability on the surface. Taylor’s vocals are hauntingly beautiful and much more akin to his time in Stone Sour. The slow build up generates this massive payoff. Lyrically this is so raw and about Taylor’s divorce. This is rarely performed live because of that.

    Duality – tried singing that at a karaoke XD. Wait & Bleed is a classic – and I think my first intro to the band. Woah, I knew about Stone Sour, crazy how a sing can instantly pull you back into a moment you don’t wanna revisit and therefore refuse to play live. Taylor’s voice is so good.

      Taylor is truly one of the best singers of this generation, I think people dismiss him because of slipknots image without ever actually hearing him sing.
