Slipknot Performs ‘Skeptic’ Live for the First Time [Video]

Slipknot have said that after their current tour, they'll take a break for a while, possibly a few years. That's why we gotta soak up as much live Slipknot as possible!

Check out fan-shot footage of the band rocking "Skeptic" on stage for the first time, via Blabbermouth.

The show was Monday Jan. 18 in Helsinki, Finland and it kicked of the band's European headlining tour.

"Skeptic" comes from Slipknot's most recent album, .5 The Gray Chapter. Frontman Corey Taylor talked to Kerrang! Magazine about the song:

"This is definitely about Paul (late Slipknot bassist Paul Gray), absolutely. And it's a song about the kind of person that Paul was, just his love for not only music in general, but for this band, and just how amazing a personality he was. And the name 'Skeptic' refers to the fact that when everything was down and out, when everyone would be in the dumps and negative, or just feeling like nothing could get done, he would be the guy who was completely sceptical of all the odds against us. He'd just be like, 'Screw that! We're gonna do this, and we're gonna do it amazingly.' He was the beating heart of it, and this song is a celebration of who he was."
