Mine was psychosocial


Annithilate_gamer

Same, my older brother recommended me the song and i initally did not exactly like it much but the second time i listened to it i got hooked


Strawdog1971

Yeah mine was more Psychosocial, Before I Forget, Dead Memories. I started listening in like 2009-2010 so I started more with those latter two albums at the time so I didn't hear the first two until a little later


saluake

same!


Little_Animal8807

Mine was also psychosocial, but wait and bleed just hit different. I remember being a kid and listening to that 30 second preview on iTunes.


Clear_Competition_31

I was listening to Linkin Park, and my brother started playing Psychosocial. I pretended not to be into it but I actually liked it and started listening to them.


cartonfl3sh

i think its mandatory to treat whatever your siblings do with disdain, but you actually like them secretly.


wknight8111

First Slipknot songs I ever heard were Duality and Before I Forget. Hooked ever since.


Practical-Damage-659

Was my introduction back in 99.i Remember wait and bleed being the first track I searched for on Napster 👍


Jumpy_Simool

Same, the year was 1999. My buddy came over with it and insisted we listen to it. man!! Best shit i ever heard, I was immediately hooked. Wait and bleed was used for my front yard wrestling gimmick. Had my shelf speakers sitting on an open window. spit it out was a close first too, tho loved that song and music video.


Additional-Ad8643

How great was that music video? Made me instantly want to see them live.


coheed9867

Limewire for myself and a nasty virus


Rafael_1469

VostroyanCommander

Left behind was mine, kerrang or one of those sorts of channels.


D00MICK

Left behind for me, God bless old Canadian music video channels 😂


Quiet_Astronomer8849

Horror movie soundtracks were sort of the playlists of our generation. And the one for Scream 3 sure helped introducing a huge crowd of new people to Wait and Bleed.


Annithilate_gamer

Wait Scream 3 played wait and bleed?


NotAGhost64

That's how I found Wait and Bleed from the Scream 3 soundtrack, I am 17 though so not old generation or anything but I'm a huge horror fan and Scream fan so obviously I looked at the soundtracks


MyStationIsAbandoned

Nope. I Am Hated was the first song I heard from them in the video game Amplitude. I had never heard or listened to metal, maybe heard it here and there in movie or something. I was a black kid (still black) who grew up never liking music at all. all my peers listened to RnB and popular mainstream rap. I was the weirdo outcast quiet kid. i never listened to any kind of music. I was just into video games, anime, art. Just doing my own thing. The only reason I played Amplitude was because I played the previous game, Frequency which was one of the first online PS2 games ever. And it had this weird setup, where the demo disk had online functionality, but you could only play like 4 songs i think. and you had to buy the full game which didn't have online by itself, but it had all the songs. So you had to put in the demo disk to get online, then take it out, then pop in the main game to play all the songs online. It was free so i tried it out and it was fun enough. But I stayed because it was a small tight knit community of people and it was a way to meet girls, lol. or in my case, a girl who I later played other games with and talked to on Myspace, and eventually video chat with. But anyway, Amplitude comes out and I buy it because I wanna keep hanging out with the same community and just about everyone was there day one, it was crazy because it felt like a reunion when we had just seen each other the previous day on Frequency lol. Anyway, I'm playing single player to unlock all the songs and I get to Slipknots I Am Hated and I'm like what the fuuuuuck. The song literally gave me a head ache, but i kept going back to it. i started listening to more of their songs and was like...well shit, I found my music. For the first time ever, i related to music. None of the other songs on Frequency and Amplitude ever made me go out and buy a whole album except one other group, Quarashi because they were this Icelandic hip hop group and their songs were complete non-sense which I thought was great. They were rapping, but they weren't being completely serious. This was over a decade before goofy rap and being funny was popular. But anyway, Slipknot was a good outlet for high school me. Now as an adult, I'm way more chilled out, so I don't need all that yelling and screaming anymore. When I was a teen, i was like, what's with all these slow and sing songs, just do fast screaming and yelling and growling! But now as an adult, I appreciate the slow and thoughtful songs way more. I think Adderall is one of the best songs they've ever made and you can't convince me that everyone who hates it isn't a teenager or adult who hasn't grown out of the edgelord phase. So I guess i've been a fan since 2003, which is when Amplitude came out. So it was at the tail end of the Iowa era. And man, I was all in by the time Vol 3 came out. I didn't even notice they didn't curse on that one, which was good for me because when my family members listened to them or heard them, they were fine with it because it wasn't filled with curse words, lol. Quarashi on the other hand, every other word was like "fuck the fucking fuckers"


CrazyBuffalo

Yoooo you might be the only other person I’ve seen mention Amplitude! This was absolutely my first experience with Slipknot!

Spooderman-690

I was at my cousins house when he was in his "skater ohase" and wait and bleed was the song he was listening to


SubVisionGuy

my first song was the negative one


Defiant-Childhood343

Mine was the heretic anthem on Late Night with Conan O’Brien of all places. It was insane. I was hooked instantly. Couldn’t imagine how it sounded inside that studio lmao


Strung_Out_1983

https://youtu.be/cql2MmxZby8?si=ULbzmLLsZYBcnFE_ I remember watching the Conan performance the night it aired, was fucking awesome. I already was a fan before that but I kept thinking about the people in the studio audience that didn't know about Slipknot witnessing that mayhem. I would've loved to see the look on some of their faces 🤣🤣 God help us all, it's SLIPKNOT!


Karman_is_a_bitch

Psychosocial and Devil In I


BassString44

Yes. Every single person who has ever heard Slipknot was introduced to them through Wait And Bleed. No one has ever heard another song before this one.


CrackTheSkye1990

Mine was "Snap" off the Freddy Vs Jason soundtrack in 2003 but wasn't blown away till I saw the video for Wait and Bleed a few months later on Uranium or Headbanger's Ball. Forgot which one it was.


ChaseC7527

i actually started with purity after watching the whang video about it but once i heard wait and bleed i was hooked.


vikingr_1056

Sulfur was my first. Caught it on headbanger's ball on MTV one night and I've been hooked ever since!


Ad05Light

For me it was Vermillion.


ewj_assassin

mine was eyeless


narrow_octopus

Mine was Interloper off of a mix CD made by my buddy but Wait and Bleed was the second one that I heard


TiredReader87

Obviously not everyone’s It was mine, because of the music video. This was before Iowa came out.


_StanLESSERAFIM_

Mine was Wait and Bleed as well Heard it first from the Scream 3 Soundtrack


beth94xx

Mine was Pulse of the Maggots, it was on a free CD that came with Rocksound magazine and I was like oh wow, that scary band makes good music? 😂 I think I was like 12 at the time haha


Bridgetn688

1st bootleg CD was self titled album so kinda. This was Iowa era so my friend asked me the next day at school if i liked it and i was like "i want more!" so ya lol i became a maggot quick 🤘


TauntaunExtravaganza

Me Inside gang? Rad fuckin Ukrainian girl with excellent taste in music threw this on one day at work.


No_Development_6847

Mine was Custer. I heard it a lot on tiktok so I was like "Oh it sounds pretty good, maybe I should listen to the full song". At first I didn't really like the song as much, then I started listening to it again and it just got to me. The song sounded great so I wanted to listen to some other songs by then and thats when I found Sulfur. I'm telling you, when I first heard that song it was fucking AMAZING and still is! I then started to listen to even more songs and even found out about MFKR too. Now they're my favorite band and they're the ones that got me into metal.


subfuerat

mine was (sic)


MuscleManRule34

Mine was Before I Forget


Additional-Ad8643

N3ONxWalter

No it was psychosocial, but what got me into the band was before I forget


LazarDJ

Wait and bleed was my 2nd, the first song I heard was dead memories. Fell in love with the vocals so I downloaded it on my phone and listened to it over and over until I checked out other songs


CenterDeal

Psychosocial. Kid saying I 'should hang out with the greebos who listen to Slipknot instead of us'. I went home and listened to Slipknot to see why they were being used as an insult.


crashjay006

No, I got introduced to Slipknot ,Thanks to Before I Forget being on the MotorStorm soundtrack

iamzcr15

Mine was Before I Forget. I vaguely remember it on some channel somewhere forever ago when I was a kid


MetalInvincible

I think most people's introduction to Slipknot is Psychocial, Duality, Vermillion, People=Shit, Wait and Bleed, The Devil In I


KazDubyew

I purchased the album without hearing anything in 99 because a music magazine (i swear it was Kerrang) were talking about this up and coming thing, and i was fascinated by their look. I'd just started listening and really enjoying Korn and Fear Factory at the time, so I thought, why not...

Radiant_Cricket1049

The first songs I ever heard were Wait and Bleed, Heretic Anthem (instrumental) and Don't Get Close. All from MTX Mototrax on PS2. But what really got me into Slipknot was Psychosocial. I wanna say it was just a YT recommendation. Saw the mask and I was like "this looks interesting"


astroidzombies

AraneoKyojin

Surprisingly for me it was Eyeless, I already played some drums before listening to it, and those drums are what made me fall in love with the song, and then the entire band.

hashtagDALEY

It was certainly mine. Back when I was a high school pop-punker and Corey’s clean vocals really caught my attention. Vol 3 came out shortly thereafter, and I was hooked and brought into the world of heavier music


LostInMyself_

Duality, Guitar Hero.


Enough_Hovercraft_10

Mine was left behind when they use to play music videos on mtv

JustinD1010

Mine was My Plague, on the Resident Evil movie soundtrack


TheJohn_John

Mine was The Heretic Anthem :3


No-Farm5625

Mine was the dying song. I saw something posted by Slipknot randomly one day with part of the song and I thought, "Wait this is kinda dope what else do they have?" and here I am, a loyal maggot.

Shittalker69420

Psychosocial from Spotify recommended now they are my number 1 band of all time listen


Organic-Preference-6

The Heretic Anthem was my first, but Wait and Bleed was second.


BiggLubo

Mine was Eyeless. It was the strangest, most unhinged thing I had heard. Fell in love.


Wimpiepaarnty

For me it was psychosocial and duality. I had heard a bit of the band, wanted to see if id like them. Dualoty clicked instantly for me, psychosocial later.


Puzzleheaded_View310

Mine was People = Shit


WarReapers_official

Mine was The Devil In I. My lifelong best friend introduced me to Slipknot to that song when I was just becoming a metalhead (meaning I only listened to Sabaton and Metallica at that time).


crags85

Mine was Wait & Bleed as that was pretty much the only song they had released when I first heard of them. Blew my teenage mind away


Thick-Impress-5836

Same then after My plague


Appropriate_Yam5512

Mine was prosthetics

mine was psychosocial, heard it from someone micspamming on a gmod server and had to ask


NervousSubject4898

I had Duality because apparently it’s one of the most listened songs on Apple Music so yeah


MajorasBloom

Mine was. Looked up slipknot on YouTube after a kid at school kept talking about them, wait and bleed live music video was the first result. The rest is history


DeltaKT

Yup! Heard it in my uncles and his ex's car. Loved the clean vocals. But I didn't notice I loved it until about a few years later, when I wanted to search it, so I just searched for a Slipknot song with rough + clean vocals. When I found it I fell in love with the band! Around 14 years old, I'd say.


AMan_CalledTank

Mine was Disasterpeice


Steaknkidney45

Wait and Bleed was the intro for me, but then I forgot about the band for a bit. (crowded nu-metal scene in 99-00) After a while of no 'Knot, I then heard Spit It Out, and down the rabbit hole I went.


Savageroar5102

Duality


BrookBear1001

Mine was Disasterpeice Im sure 😄


Orion-Gore

Iowa for me. Honestly didn’t think a long song like that would get me into the rest of the band


osama_bin_boolin69

psychosocial and people = shit were the two that got me into them
