#2 "Eyeless" Slipknot

"Eyeless"


Still easing the beginner into harder, deeper depths of metal, the next song come’s from Slipknot’s 1999 self entitled album. Slipknot’s “Eyeless” is a good example of heavy metal due to the use of loud distorted guitars, the emphasized rhythm, and  powerfully delivered vocals. This second song is good for a beginner because it introduces a harder as well as a typical sound of metal.
The drums’ beat should causes the listener (if he or she is comfortable enough) to start banging their head to the music. The guitars add to this desired effect staying at the same fast pace. The energetic song builds up to a breakdown as it climaxes emotionally with the vocalist’s voice,lyrics, and the instruments continuing steadiness. The intimidating guitars’ sound slows at the breakdown causing the listener to feel the intensity that has been built. 

Also, yes this band always dresses like this and there are 9 consistent members that make up Slipknot. 



These lyrics get to be lude, but that's metal:

"Insane - Am I the only mother fucker with a brain?


I'm hearing voices but all they do is complain,
How many times have you wanted to kill,
Everything and everyone - Say you'll do it but never will!

You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes,
Can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes,
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes!

I am my Father's son,
Cuz he's a phantom, a mystery and that leaves me
Nothing!
How many times have you wanted to die?
It's too late for me, all you have to do is get rid of me!

You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes,
Can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes,
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes!

It's all in your head!
It's all in my head!
It's all in your head!
Yeah!

I tried - You lied to me for so long,
Everywhere I go, there's a sense of it.
Freak on my antics and give me a choice,
Doesn't matter if I give a shit,
It's shit that you gave me.

You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes,
Can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes,
You can't see California without Marlon Brando's eyes!

It's all in your head!
It's all in my head!
It's all in your head!
Yeah!

Do you wanna feel pain?
Taking my name in vain; caring never felt so lame inside.
Anybody else got pride? Do you wanna take my life?
Maybe I'll reverse my ride.
Who the fuck are you? Fuck you!
Better suck it up cause you bled through,
Better get away from me.
Stay the fuck away from me!

I feel safe - seems you're saved.
I feel safe, it, seems you're saved!

Look me in my brand new eye x3

Mother Fucker!

Look me in my brand new eye x3
Look me in my brand new."
