"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 original song is a playable track in the video game Guitar Hero III: Legends of Rock, and is featured in the PlayStation 3 game MotorStorm. It is considered one of the harder songs in Guitar Hero 3 due to the overall difficulty of the song, mostly due to the extreme chord changes and the end of the bridge.
