"Half alive, part of you was dead."
Corey "interesting. Write that down, write that down! Great lyrics!"
I could've easily went through a box of tissues watching this… wow. So much love and respect to Corey!
I cant. (I feel like I owe this therapist some money). Thx Corey! :/
Much music comes from brutal heartbreak and emotional pain. Deep feelings of alienation. His brutal, tearing voice so perfectly captures this feeling.
Dr. Singh should get Till Lindemann from Rammstein on this show. He's had it rough himself
i love that this video has the most views on this channel
This is so incredible to me
He is so brave.
I feel this emptiness sometimes, i have tried avoiding it lately and this interview made me ball.
I swear as I watch this again in 2022, I instantly cry over and over again every time….. Corey is an awesome freaken guy that I cant decide in words. He tells his story for a lot of people that isnt strong enough to tell. I love this guy 🤘🏼 Always have and always will. #DiamondLovesYou #SlipknotFamilyForever #Metal #respect
You are such a brave man to let this be televised… I wish you nothing but love
Psychiatric hypnotherapy’s a serious thing. Trust me. Been there done it. Love you Corey.
And just saying I love the way Corey talks and explains things. He is truly such a beautiful gifted soul in this world ✨🥲
This is why Corey is always been amazing. He truly proves you can be a bad ass with a huge heart and struggles..
This has opened my eyes. The memories didn’t come back until recently, and now I know what CAUSED my other problems…
Kudos to Corey for opening up, but I honestly feel like it's a personal invasion to watch this. Some of this stuff, you can tell that it still hurts him profoundly. My heart goes out to you Corey, I struggled a lot with depression when I was 15-17, and sometimes (especially since my sister had a mental breakdown a few years ago and estranged herself from us about 2 years ago) as a 31 year old female, some days are really REALLY hard for myself, and I hate myself even more when I realize how much I'd hurt my mom if I did something to harm myself. Anyway, I hope good karma reaches your heart and your soul continues to heal Corey. 💛
I can understand Corey…I was 9 years old and I was raped by a 53 year old…I was a kid A FUCKING KID…nobody knows yet nobody…Now I'm 15 and I still have panic attacks about it…
If anyone's going to any kind of a mental breakdown it's okay to get help it's okay to ask Val but don't be ashamed to talk to a counselor or therapist like Corey Taylor he's getting help and it's okay to ask for help
It's breaking my heart and make knots to my stomach…
To anyone who sadly experience any of those trauma, I am so sorry. It makes me so mad that people could do such things… wish y'all to heal from it. 🙏❤
Corey will always have a special place in my heart ❤ He is such a brave talented man
Thank God for grandmothers. My grandmother raised me. She and my mom are who made me the man I am today.
someone who is as hionest and candid about their most inner personal hurts and experiences shows a strong and willing person.. williung to grow and transcend iinto greater . I wish there were more people like this in the world
I personally can relate to what you had to say Corey I have not until recently talked about the things that were done to me at four years old by a older boy in my neighborhood he was in his teens but what he had told me he would do to my parents if I did tell anyone I’m now 37 and just beginning to deal with my demons and being a farther and wanting to be a better man for them but it was only after hearing story’s like your and others that I’ve looked up to my whole life and understanding that they were just like me lost and hurt for a long time thank you for sharing your story with the many that have never said or dared to say what had happened to them. Just a maggot working on his demons
You can hear the pain in his voice when he talked about his grandmother picking up and its so heartbreaking
18:05 – 19:00 is more intense to watch than anything I've ever seen… it was actual physical pain for me to watch but it was awesome to see him come out of it too
I respect this man so much. He's doing well now more than ever!!
He didn't say molested. He said raped. I know people will disagree or take this the wrong way but I think rape of a boy would leave even more damage than a girl. Either way, it's a super traumatic, life-changing event and the people who do these things to kids need to eat a bullet. If it's a kid and the court is 100 percent sure on who did it, it needs to be an automatic death sentence. It's one of the few things I do like about China. Pedophiles are often sentenced to death.
BALLED MY FUCKEN EYES OUT. THUMBS UP IF COREY SAVED YOU TOO.
This level of vulnerability makes me cry uncontrollably. As real as it gets. I wish you healing, Corey. All the best to you and your family.
This video and Good Will Hunting it’s not your fault scene keep me safe
If this does NOT prove he's as hardcore as it gets; I don't know what would. This man is a fucking legend.
Wow
Corey thank you for being so brave. Lots of us out here have PTSD it really helps to know I am not alone. I am not loosing my mind this is just how bad trauma hurts.
Thank you guys.
Where do we find the full episode video???
It’s interesting even though it was surely much more difficult, I’d guess Corey growing up in these different environments helped him in some ways. I’ve lived in a few houses but for the most part I was in one place for a good while, and having panic attacks and addiction problems I can relate to the safety and comfort of a familiar room or place. However I think it’s been a crutch to me to a degree because after the last time I was in rehab I started having a really hard time sleeping anywhere else I would always end up having horrible panic attacks and go home, but the thing is I’m almost 23, it’s not the worst age to still live with your parents but it’s not something to be proud of. Especially since I have a twin sister who moved out about a year ago, I think having to go through that independence and uncomfortable feeling might be better in the long run, especially if you end up in a band like slipknot that’s touring every other day
I forgot about this series what happened to it? It was easily the most progressive healthy series on YouTube and there is not ANY LACK of artists to do this with I promise. I highly respect ANYONE who has been on this show even if I don’t listen to their music
So many of us in the same boat…
Corey is one of few musicians who isn’t self centered and is open minded, which is awesome. Extremely intelligent person and super talented. “Slipknot” is a wicked band too 🤘
I’m with the commenter that it feels like we shouldn’t be watching this. It feels way too personal
Recently I've been remembering a lot of trauma that I've unconsciously put away for a while now and I've been listening to a lot of bands like slipknot korn etc that have helped me move through those memories in a safe way.
The black guy is ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth and Corey sold out to the devil in exchange for money and temporary pleasures,
Friend, Jesus Christ is the Only one and I mean ONLY ONE who can fill the void deep within, I too was in a band, tried rituals and all it did was put a bandaid on a psychological wound. Let Jesus break the mental prison and experience the new birth!
“For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
Going thru the same thang . Thank u Corey for bringing light to this and sharing your experience to help others who have been there . Also can’t wait to see u kick ass in gr this summer in Michigan!!!! I’ll be there !!!
I can completely relate to the life that you had brotha.
