Slipknot have faced a senior citizens’ taste test – and escaped with a possible pass mark.
Corey Taylor and co are the subject of the latest Elders React video clip, where a panel of older people are asked to watch the band in action.
First reactions run from “It gives me a headache” and “I can hear a father or mother saying, is this my child?’ to “They’re really going for it” and “They’re jumping, boy I’ll tell ya.”
Asked if they’d attend a Slipknot show after what they’ve seen, four reply with a straight “no,” but one says she’d go “if I took a couple of aspirins.”
However, the last panellist enthuses: “I’d love to, but my body’s too broken now. My whole love of live music is revived again!”
