Huh, wouldn't have expected that song in particular to be their most popular.

[u/epileptic_pancake → u/wildcard18]

I would. It's one of their less heavy earlier songs. Carries much more mainstream appeal that about any song on their first three albums

[u/makemeking706 → u/epileptic_pancake]

Wait and Bleed did numbers on TRL. 

[u/proboscisjoe → u/makemeking706]

I distinctly remember seeing Freak in a Leash for so many weeks straight on TRL, but having to watch Wait and Bleed on my computer. I didn’t realize it aired on television.

[u/makemeking706 → u/proboscisjoe]

Maybe I am misremembering? I am old after all.

[u/proboscisjoe → u/makemeking706]

You could be right. I may have missed a narrow window of its appearance. Is the song had a run, that run was nothing like what Korn saw in the same year. That made TRL an after school ritual for me. 😂

[u/whichwitch9 → u/makemeking706]

You are not; it was my favorite song for a bit so I noticed. I think it almost never got the full video played tho

[u/wildcard18 → u/epileptic_pancake]

Even on that same album, I wouldn't have thought that song to have hit the most mainstream appeal, that would've been been Before I Forget or even Vermilion for me.

[u/Vickd → u/wildcard18]

It's a catchy tune.

Dun dun dun - bink - dundun

[u/GallifreyFNM → u/Vickd]

If you're in a room with a bunch of metalheads of a certain generation and whisper "I push my fingers into my..." you can pretty much guarantee a full singalong.

[u/epileptic_pancake → u/wildcard18]

Before I Forget definitely gets the guitar hero bump but it's much heavier than Duality. Vermillion I remember as being pretty popular at the time, it was on a couple movie soundtracks if I remember correctly. It doesnt seem to have had quite the staying power of the other two for some reason though

[u/labria86 → u/epileptic_pancake]

Duality being described as "less heavy" is crazy. But I get it 😅

[u/labria86 → u/[deleted]]

Yes. I just think its funny because that song is so much heavier than most music.

[u/N0penguinsinAlaska → u/[deleted]]

What do you think “but I get it” means?

[u/N0penguinsinAlaska → u/[deleted]]

They are saying they understand why they are described as less heavy even though relative to other genres of music they are described as very heavy, they know this by having listened to both other genres of other music AND Slipknots songs.

… apparently you’re fucking stupid AND an asshole!
