“Before I Forget” is the Grammy Award winning song by Slipknot and the third single from their 2004 album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). In February 2006, “Before I Forget” won Slipknot a Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance. After getting nominated for six years in a row, it was the band’s first ever Grammy.
“Before I Forget” borrows certain elements from a much older Slipknot song, “Carve”, recorded at some point before their self-titled album.
The video for “Before I Forget” shows Slipknot performing the song unmasked and in casual apparel, but when their faces are shown, the camera is zoomed in on a single part, such as the mouth or eyes. Their masks can be seen hanging next to them and swaying around. The video focuses on the instruments of the members more often than it does their faces.
The music video for “Before I Forget” was voted as the “Most Rocking Video” by the Scuzz audience in the Top 100 Most Rocking Videos 2007.
