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.
Watch Slipknot give 'Gematria (The Killing Name)' its live debut in Melbourne, Australia below.

Aaron Taylor-Johnson's net worth: The ‘28 Years Later' actor's wealth & income

Aaron Taylor-Johnson takes to the screen in 28 Years Later, the third installment of the zombie franchise that started with 28 Days Later, released in 2002. In 28 Years Later, he plays a survivor of a virus that turns humans into zombies, almost three decades after the first infection in the U.K. Taylor-Johnson is no stranger to starring in action films, having played superheroes in Marvel movies. Related: '28 Days Later' franchise: Box-office success on modest budgets for the zombie apocalypse film series Here's how much Taylor-Johnson is worth and an overview of some of his most popular films. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Most sources put Taylor-Johnson's net worth at around $20 million as of mid-2025. His primary earnings have come from his acting career, though he does endorse products on the income largely comes from his career as an actor. His salary for 28 Years Later isn't known, but with a cast that features Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Comer and a $75 million budget, Taylor-Johnson's pay is likely to be modest. In Kraven the Hunter in 2024, while the box-office take was disappointing, Taylor-Johnson reportedly earned $2 million for his role, according to Showbiz Galore. Taylor-Johnson's brand is his name and face, and he has used both to earn additional income as a spokesperson. He serves as brand ambassador for OMEGA watches, Jameson Irish Whiskey, and Acqua di Gio, a men's fragrance brand by Giorgio Armani.

His most popular films feature him in action roles. He started to gain traction as a lead actor by taking on the main character in Kick-Ass, a 2010 movie about vigilante superheroes, and its sequel Kick-Ass 2 in 2013. In 2014, Taylor-Johnson starred in two films that further widened his reach with audiences. In Marvel's Captain America: The Winter Soldier, he played Quicksilver, and reprised that role a year later in Avengers: Age of Ultron. In Godzilla, he portrayed a naval officer helping the U.S. military assist Godzilla in fending off other creatures to save San Francisco. The revival of the Godzilla franchise led to main acting roles, including The Wall in 2017, where Taylor-Johnson played a U.S. Army soldier targeted by a sniper during the Iraq War. In 2022, Taylor-Johnson joined an ensemble cast including Brad Pitt and Michael Shannon in Bullet Train, a film about hitmen at work on a speeding train in Japan. In 2024, he signed up again with Marvel to take on the role of Kraven the Hunter, a sort of anti-hero with powers who serves as a killer for hire. Media outlets have noted Taylor-Johnson as a potential successor to Daniel Craig in the James Bond series. Related: Which "Mission: Impossible" film made the most money?

Hear Muse Blend EDM and Metal on Melodramatic ‘Unravelling'

Muse love doing everything all at once, and on 'Unravelling,' their first new music since 2022's Will of the People album, they combine EDM synths, melodramatic rock opera vocals, and shit-kicking prog-metal riffs. And somehow it all works in a way that sounds conspicuously like Muse. The most transcendent moment comes near the end when frontman Matt Bellamy sings, 'Feeling the glow die inside of our bones/This is a hymn for our love with no God and no throne,' in an exultant way right before his guitar digs into a nasty metal breakdown that sounds more like Slipknot than Muse. The group has not yet revealed if the song, produced by Dan Lancaster (Bring Me the Horizon, Blink-182), is foreshadowing a larger project. More from Rolling Stone Zedd Wants to Reintroduce Himself, And He Brought Along Some Pretty Surprising Guests to Help The Killers, Muse, the Lumineers Lead Atlanta's 2023 Shaky Knees Fest Muse's Matt Bellamy Recalls Attending One of Lady Gaga's Early Career Shows: 'I Have Always Been a Little Monster' Muse, which have dates in Europe through July, test-drove the song live at a tour warmup gig at Helsinki's House of Culture last week. They gave it a bigger premiere on June 14, though, when they performed it at Finland's Rockfest for an audience of more than 50,000 people. The song's producer, Lancaster, plays keys and additional live guitar at Muse's live performances. A few years ago, when they were still promoting Will of the People, Muse showed fans just how deeply they could blend genres when they flipped Paul McCartney's 'Live and Let Die' into the ultra-metallic original song, 'Kill or Be Killed.' ''Kill or Be Killed' is Muse at their heaviest,' Bellamy said then. 'We wanted to update our hard rock sound on this album, and with 'Kill or Be Killed' we found a modern metal sound featuring double-bass drum action and even a death growl. Lyrically the song takes influence from my favorite Paul McCartney song 'Live and Let Die,' a dark take on how life's adversity can sometimes bring out the worst human instincts to survival at any costs.'

27 Style Pieces Amazon Customers Love June 2025

Amazon has a list of products called "Movers and Shakers," which is pretty much just fancy talk for things that are currently ~trending~. Here are some of the most stylish and loved pieces of clothing and accessories on the list recently: A silky satin camisole because this luxe-looking staple piece adds a high-end, sophisticated feel to any outfit — and if you pair it with a blazer, I guarantee you'll be feeling like a Boss Babe. Promising review: "Checks all the boxes for me: stays on my shoulders without slipping around, hides my bra (straps, armpit, and back), super soft/silky, a nice V-neck without being too plunging, beautiful variety of colors. It's well made, with a lining in the top portion and a small dart at the arm pits to avoid that weird upper armpit gape that sometimes happens in camis. Fits true to size. There is a bit of give to the fabric. Good job, Ekouaer." —P SPrice: $19.99+ (available in sizes XS–3X and 44 colors and styles) A cap sleeve T-shirt that's casual but elegant, and more importantly, designed to keep your armpits and bra out of sight. Promising review: "This is a closet staple! I LOVE that the underarms have an extra piece of fabric so it doesn't show your bra. Fabric is a nice material, and it is not a crop top, which is such a nice thing these days." —Taylor Amazon CustomerPrice: $12.99 (available in sizes S–XXL and 25 colors and styles) A pair of high-waisted running shorts so you can take on your warm weather workouts, errands, and lounging in a breezy, breathable style. BTW, many reviewers find these as impressive (if not better!) than the very similar and very expensive Lulu shorts. Promising reviews: "So good. So breathable and the perfect length. The waistband is comfortable and doesn't ride up. A Lulu equivalent, if not better." —Peyton"These are the perfect running shorts. The elastic waistband is perfectly stretchy and has enough room. But somehow it doesn't move around when you're running. The cut on the sides of the legs is also very useful when you're running. The inside liner isn't uncomfortable and overall just 10/10." —Lisa MoonPrice: $28 (available in sizes XXS–XL and 21 colors) Or, a pair of high-waisted yoga shorts that reviewers love for everything from everyday wear to working out, including running. Folks say they're comfy, breathable, and actually stay put! Promising review: "I am completely in love with these yoga shorts! The fit is absolutely amazing — they're incredibly comfortable and the material feels fantastic against the skin. The length is perfect, hitting just where I like it, and they don't ride up. A huge bonus is the pockets, which are wonderfully deep and actually useful. What makes them even better is the amazing price for such high quality. While they're perfect for yoga, I honestly wear these as my normal everyday shorts because they're that comfortable and versatile. I'm already planning to buy more colors. Highly recommend!" —PhenixPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 30 colors) A pair of sleek Lee trousers made from a flexible fabric and nonbinding waistband, so you can actually make it through the work day without wanting to rip your pants off. While you might be stuck going into the office again, at least you can still be comfy. Promising review: "Love these. They are stretchy and comfortable. I wore them on plane travel that took two days. Never gave me any trouble. They don't shrink, and I like the pockets. Nice material and they look nice on. Goldilocks dressy casual, not too tight, not baggy. I had to return the Amazon-suggested size as it was too big and too long. I've worn these with sneakers and loafers. Could do a dressy low heel too, with a dressy top, and it would be classy. I have them in two colors and will buy more." —MEPrice: $31.69 (available in sizes 2–18, three lengths, and 10 colors) A spaghetti strap shorts romper since it feels like wearing comfy pajamas, yet is cute enough to wear when you're out and about. Don't mind me living in this 24/7 come summer! Promising review: "I'm just going to say that I absolutely love these rompers! They are well-priced, well-made, and arrived quickly! The size I would say would be a true fit in terms of how you want to wear them. I personally like my rompers to be a little bit bigger, loose, and baggy, and the size I bought was perfect for that. Ended up loving them so much that I bought one more in each shade, leaving my closet with six of these rompers now. They're, in my opinion, just the coziest thing to wear during the spring and summer when the days are nice. Being out and about or just in the coziness of your own home, you don't have to worry about being uncomfortable or itchy in these. After my mom saw them, she decided to purchase some and has been loving them as well. Overall, if you are looking for a casual and cozy outfit, look no further because they will make you so happy annnnd they have pockets." —ShaunaPrice: $17.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 30 colors and styles) A soft ribbed V-neck tank that you'll find yourself reaching for again and again in the coming months. It's comfy, cute, and super versatile. Pair it with jeans, shorts, or a skirt, and then throw on a scarf, cardigan, or light jacket if it's windy out. Promising reviews: "I'm in love with these tops. It makes you look good. I bought three and am buying more. I've washed them and the color didn't fade. Stretchy and comfortable. Soft and lightweight garment." —Flormarina JaimePrice: $11.99 (available in sizes S–XL and 27 colors) A chic cocktail dress if you're in need of a reliable Little Black Little Red Dress, Little Blue Dress, Little Green get where I'm going with this. Point is, this lovely piece is a versatile staple in any color (and it comes in 12). Promising review: "I really like this dress. The material is soft and stretchy, which results in a comfortable dress to wear. The back zipper gives it a more elegant look. The dress is versatile, as you can dress it up or down depending on the accessories you wear. I liked it so much that I also ordered a red one. The fit is true to size. I'm happy with my purchase." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $25.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and 12 colors) A pair of boho-style shorts to help you ~keep your cool~ on super hot and humid days. Seriously, don't make the mistake of suffocating in heavy denim shorts — just wear these! Promising review: "LOOOOve these shorts. Only worn a few times, so hopefully they hold up to regular wear. They are really nice thickness (not denim thick but thicker than linen). They are pretty heavily dyed, so definitely wash separately. As others said, SIZE UP for a great fit. The drawstring is really nice. Deep front pockets! I'll definitely order more!" —benPrice: $24.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 44 colors) A pair of crossover-waist leggings with a trendy, somewhat sassy flare cut that'll totally add some ~oomph~ to your workouts, errands, and casual outings. And because I know you're wondering, reviewers confirm they're buttery soft. Promising review: "The material is buttery soft and has the perfect amount of stretch while still feeling supportive. The high-waisted V design stays in place all day — no rolling down! The flare style adds such a fun and trendy touch, making them versatile enough to wear to the gym, on errands, or even to dress up for a casual outing. I've received so many compliments while wearing them. They're true to size, and the length is just right for me (I'm 5'7'). The quality is amazing, especially for the price! I've only washed them a few times, and they still look as good as new. Highly recommend these leggings for anyone looking for style, comfort, and durability!" —Amanda SmithPrice: $12.49+ (available in sizes XS–XXL, four lengths, two inseam styles, and 32 colors) A classic pair of ballet flats since they're ~very cutesy, very demure~ and polite enough *not* to give you blisters. Plus, a pack of low-cut no-show socks to wear with your ballet flats and other summer shoes. No longer shall you have to choose between going barefoot (*shudders*) or having pesky sock lines showing (*sigh*). Promising review: "Love these socks! These stay on very nicely, even slipping shoes on/off. They fit true to size and feel comfortable. They have a little sticky stuff on the heel that keeps them from sliding around. Even barefoot, they stay on. They are thinner than normal socks, but going into summer, that is exactly what I wanted, something light that would keep my feet from sweating in my shoes, and they are low profile, so you can not see them wearing lower-cut tennis shoes. I haven't tried them on dressy shoes, but they seem like they would work for that as well." —MomOfTwoTeenGirlsPrice: $8.49+ (available in sizes 5–12 and 18 pack options, including three, six, and eight pair options). A pleated tennis skirt since it's basically just a flirtier, cuter version of bike shorts. Same comfort and practical functionality, only this style is way more adorable. 🥰 Promising review: "Super cute!! I received MANY compliments on it!! It was super cute and comfy. The shorts didn't ride up, which is a major plus. It accentuated my legs, which is a plus 💜💜!! I plan on purchasing in other colors!! So glad I purchased!!" —DionndraPrice: $19.99 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 22 colors) A Gloria Vanderbilt high-rise tapered jean if you've been searching for your new signature jeans. Reviewers of all shapes and sizes praise these for having just the right amount of stretch, a soft, comfy feel, and a stylish fit — plus a reasonable price, to boot! Promising review: "I have practically 'lived' in jeans for years, having gone through designer jean phases and different styles, etc. Lee's was my most recent and constant choice, though. But, after seeing an ad (and a really cheap price) on these, I thought I'd try a pair after looking at the fabric content and pictures. I LOVE THESE JEANS!!!!! They're high quality, comfortable, and fit GREAT!! So happy with the first pair that I went back and bought five more pairs in different shades of blue jean color and tan. Bet you won't stop at just ONE pair either !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" —Just MePrice: $18.94+ (available in sizes 2–20, including short and long sizes, and dozens of colors) A beautiful pendant necklace since every outfit needs a ~finishing touch.~ Depending on your style, you can choose from gold or silver chains and all different colors of pendants, some of which look like an opaque crystal and others like a sparkly gemstone. Promising review: "I absolutely love my Kendra Scott necklace! The craftsmanship is stunning, and it adds the perfect touch of elegance to any outfit. The quality is excellent — the chain is sturdy, and the pendant shines beautifully. I've received so many compliments every time I wear it. Definitely worth every penny!" —KristinaPrice: $60 (available in dozens of styles) A lightweight pullover sweatshirt destined to accompany you on crisp early morning walks and then keep you cozy as you stargaze by the bonfire late into the night. Plus, during the day, you can tie this around your shoulders for a very trendy European-inspired look. Promising review: "I bought it on a whim and wasn't sure if it would suit me, but I love it. It's one of my favorite sweatshirts. I love the baby pink color and the fit of it. It's not too heavy and decently warm for a mildly cool day. Very cozy and soft. I've had it for a couple of years now and still love it." —fountainheadPrice: $6.91+ (available in sizes S–XXL and 11 colors) A blouse with delicate three-quarter puff sleeves that taper into smocked cuffs, which makes it eye-catching without being over the top — and if you really want to stand out, be sure to go for one of the fun, exciting prints rather than a solid color. Promising reviews: "This is such a cute top. The sleeves give it a trendy look. It fits true to size. I would definitely order again." —Tracy Martin"Very nice top. Nice soft material. Has a nice feel to it. Nice and lightweight. Size is as expected. Highly recommend. Great for a spring or fall top." —ipyfePrice: $14.99 (available in sizes S–3X and 31 colors and styles) A pair of lightweight ankle pants boasting four-way stretch, super deep pockets (eeep!) and a casual-but-cool laid-back style. Reviewers are absolutely obsessed (and you will be too). Promising review: "These pants are so amazing, this is my second pair. The fit is perfect, the material is soft, and I love the deep pockets. They are my go-to pants now when I'm heading out. They can be styled up or more casual. You won't find anything to beat these for comfort. I highly recommend. They are true to size." —PamPrice: $34.99 (available in sizes XS–3X and 20 colors) A quick-dry water shoe to keep your feet protected (read: from touching slimy seaweed and pinching sand crabs) while you're splashing in the waves. Promising review: "Best water shoes I've EVER purchased! I got mine about three years ago, and I'm STILL using them! They are comfy and don't feel like a nuisance on my feet! My kiddos and husband liked them too, so I ordered the entire family a pair. Great value for the money and fit to size!" —chrisPrice: $6.99+ (available in sizes 3–14, men's sizes 2–13, and 44 colors and styles) A slightly oversize crewneck T-shirt that'll look totally on-trend with some biker shorts or French tucked into jeans. Best of all, you won't have to feel self-conscious or uncomfy when your ~hot girl tummy issues~ decide to make themselves known. Promising review: "Love this shirt! Material is soft, fit is loose, but not too big. Just ordered four more colors. Easy to dress up or dress casual! If you're looking for a flexible shirt to wear with just about anything, order this one. This shirt makes me feel great, not too clingy, fit is comfortable." —D ThorpePrice: $8.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 22 colors) A high-waisted capri legging for days when you're feeling as indecisive as the weather. Hot? Cold? Pants? Shorts? Capris are the answer (especially when they're buttery-soft and supportive)! Promising review: "The perfect leggings! These buttery soft leggings fit great and run true to size. They can be paired with a cute top or tee for everyday wear or are versatile enough to wear for yoga, running, or your workout session. They are thin but not see-through! I will be purchasing more of these." —AshleyPrice: $7.49+ (available in sizes S–XXL, three styles, and 37 colors) A silky-soft fitted T-shirt that hugs your body for a smooth 'n' sleek look. Many reviewers find it quite similar to Skims tops, only this one is less than $10. 👀 Reviewers say to size up for a slightly less fitted look. Promising review: "Have bought these tops over and over again. They are 100% worth the hype, affordable, comfortable, and long-lasting. I reach for these tops more than my Skims ones." —Jasmine VillaPrice: $9.95 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 26 colors) A seamless bralette offering full coverage and reliable support *without* the discomfort of wires and chafing. Turns out they're NOT a package deal. Promising review: "I have been searching for a bra that feels like a soft bralette but actually gives me support!! As I've gained weight because I'm pregnant, my bra size has also gone up, and I love how this bra even comes with an extension for when I grow even more. The feel of this bra is perfect for the summer heat; the material is super soft and breathable. I could wear this bra every day and plan to get more!" —cesarPrice: $23.99 (available in sizes S–3X and 14 colors) A Hanes men's fleece hoodie that doesn't actually care what your gender is — it's cozy and effortlessly stylish on everyone. Promising review: "I purchased a black and ash color hoodie like two years ago and wear them both frequently. The quality is great. Also wore throughout both of my pregnancies. Perfect for a little oversized comfy hoodie — color is as described. The material is soft and cozy with a little stretch. I wash on warm and dry in the dryer, and it does not shrink. I've gotten so many compliments on them. The black color also does not fade. Highly recommend. And the price — can't beat it!! These are great sporty/casual/everyday hoodies!" —JessicaPrice: $14.92 (available in men's sizes S–5XL and 36 colors) A gorgeous floral cover-up with so many styling possibilities, it'll practically pay for itself by summer's end. Slip this on over your swimsuits, dresses, tanks, and other warm-weather outfits to give them an extra fashionable touch. Promising review: "I am so big into this kimono look. I now have four of them, all in different colors and lengths. There is plenty of fabric if I want to cross the front and belt it. It falls to mid-thigh in the back (the front curves upward). The first time I wore it, I got a LOT of compliments on it. I am very, very happy with this!" —anniebPrice: $9.99+ (available in sizes S–3X and 39 styles) A tiered maxi skirt for days when shorts or pants of any kind are simply a no. Pair this with a tank or cropped shirt for a fast, pretty outfit, and if you want to dress it up, throw on a blazer or some nice jewelry! Promising review: "What makes any skirt or dress superior? POCKETS! Love this skirt so much, I bought it in two colors! I love a full-length maxi skirt that you can dress up or dress down. As a mom of three, pockets are essential to my wardrobe, and I love that with this skirt I can have style and functionality. I get compliments on them all the time. Wearing the skirt higher up makes it so I'm not constantly stepping on it while I walk." —Amazon CustomerPrice: $34.98 (available in sizes XS–XXL and 34 styles) A cute Sketchers mesh shoe because you've reached that point in life where you simply refuse to buy shoes that aren't functional. According to reviewers, these are lightweight, easy to slip on and off *and* offer plenty of support (so you'd best grab these before your summer trip overseas). Promising review: "Wife has several pairs and kept telling me how great they were and the most comfortable shoes she'd ever had, dress and casual. Well, after continued 'you need a pair or two,' I finally bought a pair. And she was on the mark. Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. Wear them all day and they still feel great. And best of all, they don't cost $200. Got mine on sale for $39.95 and wish I'd gotten two or three pairs at that price. Great value and highly recommend them. You won't be disappointed." —ChuckAmazon CustomerPrice: $34.50+ (available in sizes 5–13, narrow and wide widths, and 24 colors)
