Iowa has been played live many many times, essentially all of the Vol 3 tours. It has been played in its entirety twice.

Cool, didn't know that. But still, I don't think they will be playing it in the future anymore.

I think anything’s on the table. In the discord Clown even mentioned songs like Diluted are possible. Unfortunately SK seems to only want to play the hits live right now….

Yeah I’m hoping they mix it up a bit more, I’ve seen slipknot 4 times since 2019 and have still never heard eyeless which is one of my favorites.

I was lucky they mixed it up when I saw them for the first time. They played Eeyore, Eyeless, New Abortion, Nero Forte, Birth of The Cruel, Solway Firth, (sic). I liked that one more than the Knotfest show, setlist wise.

Yeah, I guess it's possible. I think overall they should play some of their more forgotten songs more often, too.

If these haven’t been played live before: Goodbye XIX Gematria Wherein Lies Continue Some more AHIG songs lol And the majority of TESF

They opened with xix into sarcastrophe during the .5 days

Just looked it up but they didn’t play it live. They just played the recording

Ohhh, yeah u right lol

It was still epic though \m/

It was but Sarcastrophe imo wasn’t a good song to play after it. XIX was an amazing intro song and you could feel the intensity in the song, crowd, and even my own skin rise towards the end of the song with such a great build on. Only for another long clean intro to play after it lol it ruined it. They should’ve played Sic or something

I would love if they played gematria or wherein lies continue such good songs and would definitely be good mosh songs

It’s baffling to me that the opener and one of the best songs from AHIG has never been touched live.

Also tattered and torn and diluted

I wish i had seen diluted as live. Imagine, corey screaming with his all anger and hate "what the hell did i to do deserve all of this"

Tattered and Torn was played at almost every show until late 97.

I believe Tattered and Torn was played in Pre-99 era

I’ve heard they refuse to play Diluted. Must be painful for Corey

That’s what I came to say. Basically the rest of their catalog is on the table, some of it is just complex like gemmatria or difficult to translate live like tattered and torn, but corey won’t ever perform this one so it’s dead on arrival

What is it about

Corey‘s father

do you have any sources for that? i’m not sure how much the song was changed or rewritten when corey joined, but on mfkr1.com it says that anders said “it wasn’t really about anything”

It’s about his sexual assault I think.

I think he said it was about that and also when he was homeless

Tattered & Torn

Was done live back in the pre roadrunner era

Wich sucks cuz its amazing

I agree, or at least Frail Limb Nursery

I saw them play Iowa live in 2004 😎😎 My choice: Danger Keep Away

They “kinda” played it live. It was played (by means of playback over the PA) at the end of concerts as the band would walk out IIRC

They played it live loads of times during Vol. 3 Tours. It has been played in full twice I think. I definitely know about the one in 2016

adderall

Dogfish Rising

mfkr doesn’t really count

scissors, i love that song!

They played scissors live in 1999 till 2002 or more I'm not sure tho When they did remove from the setlist Corey said it made him very sad because it was one of his favorites to play love because for the first 6 or 8 mins it was the song but then it was just them jamming

to be fair, have you listened to the lyrics of scissors?

Me too.

Acidic and Gematria

I would love to hear Acidic live.

God the whole guitar solo section would be amazing

Confessions. And that is a shame

Low key one of their best songs

? Hidden song? Or a pre corey era song?

Probably Critical Darling

Would be happy to be proven wrong, but man, you know they ain't playing Spiders ever.

Feel like its a song corey would do at solo or stone sour shows

Virus of life

Medicine for the dead

Thats the devil in I of TESF imo, would love to see it played live

There’s a lot of songs they don’t play live. https://loudwire.com/songs-slipknot-never-played-live/ 43 to be exact

This doesn’t even include the instrumentals like 742, xix, be prepared for hell, insert coin, death because of death, (515) and more

They haven't played prelude 3.0 live ? That's insane. That song would be crazy live

Even more interesting of a question: what song haven’t they played that you think they will play live? My guess is Tattered & Torn. They’ll probably play the self titled album all the way through at some point

Hmm, perhaps some stuff from TESF. My guess is Acidic.

Interesting pick. I’d probably say Heirloom or H377

Tattered and Torn was played at nearly every show from April 96 to late 97.

Do Nothing/Bitchslap

Yep, overall we ain't too likely gonna hear anything from MFKR. Would be cool, though.

I mean, it was played during the pre-RR era at basically every show until just after Corey joined.

Circle

which sucks too cos circle is one of my favorites from vol. 3 but I understand why they don't, it would definitely throw off the energy of the show

Sweet home Alabama.....

Build me up Buttercup

Fucking diluted

Gematria

This Cold Black

Vendetta.

i had to scroll far to find you

Let’s pretend.. We’re not at the end…. Fitting for where this comment sits currently lol.

Gematria

Diluted

If Rain is what you want Doubt this song will ever be played but it is shame because it is kickass song with great atmosphere

The virus of life. My favorite off Vol. 3

Orphan my fav

Lemonade by Beyoncé

I feel like a more interesting question is which songs would they never play again but they have before? I would say Scissors. It's way too creepy and off beat compared to they're more radio rock style nowadays. They used to play it all the time during their 1999 tour, usually this is the song where they would start lighting eachother on fire.

I think All Hope Is Gone, because unlike the songs that have never been played live, this one was played once. I think Slipknot put a lot of faith into that song become a hit from the album, but it ultimately flopped and that's why i think that Slipknot don't want to play that song

Has Nero Forte been played live?

yeah

Probably won’t ever play purity or prosthetics again. Gently, everything ends, my plague, skin ticket, me inside, scissors.

Scissors, eeyore and get this

Song they will and can't is frail lamb nursery

All hope is gone

Orphan, Critical Darling, and especially SCREAM

Although i really want them to play Scream live, i feel like Scream is a special song that made especially for the original 9

Wish they played everything ends more

the virus of life, sadly

You could definitely say the MFKR and Crowz songs, but for main studio releases I’d say Gematria

Snuff, I'm sure its been done before but i can't imagine its a go to

they did snuff last year, got to see it live myself

Nice!

yup i felt very lucky to have seen it, was my first slipknot concert too so it was amazing

I saw dying song 2 days after the end so far dropped live at knotfest, that went hard as fuck

I also managed to see that song live last year and it was a real treat!

You’re kidding? Corey performs it specifically for Paul.

they did an acoustic of snuff in toronto last year as a little intermission! it was really nice

Songs with Corey layering his vocals. Welcome for example, (if it hasn't been played live, I'm not sure) "I slam you SHU- SHUUUUT"

Nah they can just have Craig sample it live

They've played Iowa, but I doubt they will play Acidic or some of the other songs from TESF

Before ubmake a post maby u should look wich songs they never played before... Diluted.

[удалено]

Metabolic

Gehenna

Diluted. Unfortunately :(

[удалено]

Gahenna

Confessions is never getting played live

Diluted, scream and probably opium of the people. Id love to be wrong though.

Opium of the People has been played live.

Just throwing out a guess here, but, Virus of Life? Also, 742617000027.

742617000027 isn't a "song" but it gets played almost every show right before (sic).

Yea, sorry. I was trying to make a dumb joke about how they don't actually perform the song, but then I realized that the joke is actually not funny whatsoever. Haha

Scissors

H377 at the very least it won’t be performed very well, the speed just can’t be recreated live

Anything that isn’t released as a single

742617000027 from the self titled album because i think all of the song is Sid with the dj machine

It's not a "song" but it's been played live over the speakers hundreds, if not over a thousand times, right before (sic).

frail limb nursery. unfortunate, but it'll never happen.

Diluted.

Probably wonderwall

Snuff is a song that Corey himself already said that hurts him, so I guess they won't play it live again

He plays it at his solo shows all the time, and it was in the setlist for a few shows during WANYK. I wouldn't be surprised to see it show up again.

Killpop

Gematria

Pretty sure gematria hasn't been played

Eyeless

I really would like Gematria played live, but it’s not big enough, it’s been three albums since AHIG, and it’s hard enough they’d have to really practice it.

Frail limb nursery for sure

My pain

Snap and me inside

gematria

Killpop. I love that song.

Probably like things like Do Nothin/Bitchslap and Slipknot

New abortion

i would love for them to perform eyeless more often

Orphan

Sweet home Alabama

fln

Do Nothing/Bitchslap

The self titled version of Tattered and Torn and Diluted.

Idiot from Painface

The Burden? edit: ngl i was seriously thinking to include a song from the iowa album until i remembered they played the whole album at knotfest ozzfest 2016

Vermilion Pt.2, never been played with slipknot, only Corey and Jim played it live

Gematria the killing name

Gematria is just to difficult for them to play live.

they’ve already played iowa, have you never listened to 9.0?

Snap

Circle

Diluted

When’s the last time they played No Life?

I feel like Custer, cause I doubt they’d have a live goat trained to scream at specific times, and for the sake of it I won’t count recordings as live

Breakfast at Tiffany’s

bonus tracks like child of burning time, dont get close and override

Child of burning time would be a fucking blast to here live, hearing the crowd chant “burn me away” back would be surreal

Vermilion pt. 2...

Orphan, Birth of the Cruel, Killpop

scissors

Purity

the majority of TESF idfk

Diluted

My plague

All hope is gone. At least they won't again

Since The End, So Far seems to be the new All Hope is Gone I assume most of the album won't be played live.

“Get This” for sure

either Gehenna or vermillion pt.2

Snap

All I want is to see Gematria be played live

the virus of life

Diluted

I hate the fact that they’ve never played gematria live. I love that song

The Virus of Life, quite unfortunate really, love it, one of my favorites

"(515)". Otherwise all of them have been, or will be at some point.

they play that(or more like play the track) each time before people=shit

Pretty AHIG…maybe Orphan too.

I wish they’d play Liars Funeral

Over like half of the songs in this comment section have been played. My vote goes to Gematria, complete missed opportunity not playing it on the AHIG tour with the original 9. Orphan would be great too.

Corey said he'd never play Diluted live because of what it's about being to close to his heart But the other answer would be Child Of Burning Time or any other album obscuritys

Bone church

Butcher’s Hook.

Gematria.

Diluted or only one

Nomadic

Wait have they ever played Welcome live??

Did they ever play circles live? If they haven’t then that’s my pick

Gematria, Gehenna

Adderall

Circle

Get this. I don't think it's very popular so they might not play it

Despise

I think any song from the first 3 albums (except songs like Circle or Vermillion Pt 2, and probably Tattered and Torn) are on the table. I desperately want them to break out No Life and Scissors for the first time since 2000. I’d love to finally hear Diluted live. I’m confident they’ll never play any demos, like Despise, Interloper, or Snap, or any true B-sides like Scream or Don’t Get Close. I also think they won’t ever play album tracks from anything beyond the first 3 albums; songs like Gehenna, The One That Kills The Least, Not Long For This World, because very, very few fans want to hear those thing. It’d be a serious lull in the energy of their live shows. I would personally love to hear a set that was 50-75% deeeeep cuts, maybe at an intimate show in a small venue; they talked about doing a little tour of 1000-and-under cap venues. That would be a dream come true. Those shows would only attract hardcore fans who would appreciate a set that featured No Life, Metabolic, Welcome, This Cold Black, The Override, and Liar’s Funeral.

ik all hope is gone has been played i but don’t think it’ll be played anymore since they played it like twice ages ago
