Slipknot Perform 'Gematria (The Killing Name),' Song Corey Taylor Thought They'd Never Play Live: Watch
The post Slipknot Perform 'Gematria (The Killing Name),' Song Corey Taylor Thought They'd Never Play Live: Watch appeared first on Consequence.
Slipknot finally performed the song 'Gematria (The Killing Name)' on Friday night (February 28th) at the kickoff of their Knotfest Australia mini-tour in Melbourne. The track from 2008's All Hope Is Gone is one that frontman Corey Taylor previously believed the band would 'never play' live.
'Gematria (The Killing Name)' was the third song of the set, following favorites '(sic)' and 'People = Shit.' Overall, Slipknot played 14 songs, with 'Psychosocial' being the only other tune represented from All Hope Is Gone.
In 2023, during an interview with the All Things Music podcast (as transcribed by Revolver), Taylor explained that if it were up to him, the band would've already performed 'Gematria (The Killing Name),' but that his bandmates weren't too keen on playing the song.
'I've always wanted to open a concert with 'Gematria,'' he explained. 'There are certain odiums around the way that that song was created and recorded, which is why some of the guys in the band are like, 'Fuck that, we'll never play it.''
He continued, '[The reason] isn't even sentimental…It's resentment. But for me, man, it's such a fucking burner that I just love that song. I can listen to that shit all fucking day. It just comes screaming out of no-fucking-where. But it'll never happen. Unless the Pope ends up opening up for Slipknot someday, that shit will never happen.'
Slipknot have three more Australia shows and one New Zealand date coming up, followed by a run of European festivals in June (pick up tickets here). As of now, their only North American show of 2025 is slated for July 19th at the Inkcarceration Festival in Mansfield, Ohio.

Martin Scorsese No Longer Watches Movies in Theaters Due to Audiences Behaving Badly
The post Martin Scorsese No Longer Watches Movies in Theaters Due to Audiences Behaving Badly appeared first on Consequence. In hardly shocking news, Martin Scorsese has said he no longer watches movies in public theaters anymore. On Peter Travers' recently launched blog, the film critic recalled a conversation he once had with the director about the inconsiderate behavior of fellow theatergoers. Referring back to their discussion, Travers wrote, 'I asked the maestro why he doesn't see movies in theaters anymore and he went all raging bull about audiences who babble on phones during the movie, leave to order snacks and vats of soda, and keep up a noise level loud enough to drown out the actors.' Travers retorted by pointing out how 'we couldn't keep our mouths shut when we were kids.' In response, Scorsese said, 'Yeah, maybe, but when we talked it was always about the movie and the fun we had chewing over the details.' It's unclear when Travers and Scorsese had this conversation, but this year's The Minecraft Movie became notorious for its rowdy audience participation.
