SO, THE NEW SLIPKNOT VIDEO…

“Dead Memories” was initially one of my least favorite songs on All Hope is Gone, the latest from Slipknot (which we’re giving away right now!), but it grew on me – I like that little dip the guitar does during the chorus.

I basically like the band’s new video, too – Slipknot are nothing if not a visual band and I generally think they make good videos – but I have no fucking idea what’s going on here. The tone is kind of inconsistent – it’s amusing but not really funny, creepy but not really scary – and… well… I guess Corey Taylor’s dead memories all have to do with chicks in their underwear. Which, come to think of it, doesn’t make him all that different from most dudes.
