slipknot-dead memories My favourite video



Slip knot Dead memories was realeased on the 1st of December 2008, the music video was directed by P.R Brown and Shawn Crahn, the video was premierd before the song itself showing how signifficent the video is to the song. Althrough the video we see vocalist Corey Taylor. At first he is walking through the birth of slipknot, Iowa, and he then digs a hole and falls through the it into a room. Where Sid Wilson is crawling on the walls and ceiling and Taylor continues into other rooms where all the band members are doing other things such as lighting candles, having pillow fights with girls and another is admiring himself in the mirror, the signifcance of the video is a number of things, when this video first come out it was a welcoming of their new masks which gives the title"dead memories" and shows they have to start again. Also Corey have confrentations with every band member showing that there was tension amongst the band when discussing their new masks. Also the fact that their all underground when the song starts shows that when they start playing music they are taken from the world into their own world.
