Slipknot's Jim Root Plays His Favorite Riffs 

"You know.. stuff like that" 😂

Jim Root: plays smoke on the water Loudwire: great content Copyright police: Strike 1

He gives off such a chill vibe and is so likable... he should start doing his own podcast.

6:05 ManServant: AHHHHHHHHH UGGGGHHHH Jim: he's fine

Audio brought to you by: Potato

Off camera: guy in agony Jim: he’ll be alright That’s metal

Jim Root: is a great guitar player and probably richer than most of us Also Jim Root: sends Loudwire ( a youtube channel watched by thousands) a video with potato quality

He's good at playing riffs. Because _Jim_ knows the _Root_ of the notes.

Plz after the quarantine we want him for Wikipedia fact or fiction. Do it guys ❤

My life goal is to know about 10% of the things Jim root thinks I know

6:17 “Jim’s Servant falls down the stairs or something.” Jim: “he’s fine his wife will put a band aid on that 😂” immediately goes back to talking about guitars. Jim is hilarious

jim root is a humble guitarist he knows how to respect others when I see the youtube stay metal ray channel which at that time wanted to try jim's guitar and he was willing to hold his microphone and now he let the officer into his room and thanked the officer for a small action but deserves respect for success continues jim 🙏

I could watch Jim play and or talk for a lifetime.

Take a shot Everytime he say "ya know"

This guy should join a band. He's very good.

"... as time went on, I was able to do more and more because Paul and Joe where doing less and less... " Damn. For some reason that line hit me hard...

Idk about all of you, but I love stuff like this. Low key, behind the scenes personal discussions. It’s super cool to see your favorite artists as normal human beings!

The only thing better than Jim's skill as a guitarist is his beard!

6:06 did he step on your legos?

*crash sound and breaking noises* "Aaahhhhhhh" 🤣🤣🤣 man servant down lol

All I can say is this. Jim is amazing guitarist,and the hard work he does has always been brutal.

"You know, stuff like that." -Jim Root

My favorite memory of jim root was years ago but still left a mark. I cant remember what year but they were on tour with lamb of god and shadows fall . It was around christmas time at the alliant energy center in madison WIS. I worked for the venues contracted security / event staff. When I walked in the building in the backstage area of the arena. Jim had a big rig set up in the " hallway". Now keep in mind im a huge slipknot fan . on the way to work . i listened to the entire Iowa album ( I lived a long way from the arena) anyway, when i walked in , jim was playing christmas tunes (like only he could play) on his guitar louds as fuck. I thought it was funny as hell to have one of your favorite metal musicians play jingle bells. 😆.

I believe he’s holding back his true potential. Would live to see him do a solo album. The closest he showed his skill is on the song called black widow of la porte.

Jim root is my favorite guitarist

Should be named: Jim Root speaks his favorite words...

He's a badass guitarist. He also seems like a genuine, chill dude

I always thought he had the coolest mask lol

I already know I'm gonna love this video

Sawing this man playing live with Slipknot is crazy amazing how he fulfills the whole stage. Absolut king.

I expect a part 2 from this! jim wasn't even done talking... i could listen to uncle jim for hours.. he's such a casual dude! You rock #4 🤘🏻

When the dude fucing screamed jim said : y wan call 911 Now that's a bruh moment

"And stuff like that"

Servant: dies Root: he's fine, his wife will put a bandage on that

Anyone else feel Jim gives of some major cool dad energy. ~some 19 year old

I want to always be as high as Jim Root always seems

I've always wanted to meet jim and mick, as an aspiring guitarist I find those 2 among the players that have inspired me to wanna learn how to play.

Very real interview, awesome! Love this guy

“He’s fine, his wife will put a band-aid on that.” Famous last words lol

Thank you Jim, for your contribution to the metal community, you make life suck a lot less ❤

Jim "You Know" Root

I always love how chill These legends of guitarists are while they are just casually shredding and destroying and i love it

Great interview! I could listen to him for hours! Such a cool guy! 🤘🏼

Jim Root is too awesome much love and appreciation

The guy cleaning in the back I'm dead LOL

Jim’s been my favorite guitar player for a long time.

6:05 - 6:18 I FCKN DIED HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This part make all my day, love u Jim

Why did Loudwire cut him off before finishing his thought?

"Thank you" After 2 seconds *Crash* "UURGHHHH"

Awesome stuff, thanks!

I love you so much you helped me deal with some really difficult times I’m 32 now and you’re still doing that. you and the original lineup.I Stan proud at the altar and I always will do with all the love!

Woh! That Blackbeard's pirate flag hanging on Jim's wall is badass!

Jim Root! 🤘😝🤘 i wonder if he would ever do like a solo record or just like a instrumental type of thing. That would be SWEET!!!

I could watch Jim (or James, whatever way he wants to be addressed) talk and play for hours

This is so rad I love Jim’s playing

“You know”

‘Ya Know’- Jim Root

I’ve been waiting for this for far too long

Seems like a really cool guy, and the most down to earth. His fenders are works of art and love Jims playing

seriously people are expecting quality sound, from what appears to be a Laptop skype call that was probably thrown together last minute..

Jim is a monster musician ! One of the best !

I really love this guy. He’s so down to earth and I can relate to him very well. Would really love a chance to meet him and maybe jam with him a little bit and just talk about music. You rock Jim, love from Bangladesh 🤘🏽

This is awesome. Really inspiring

Jim Root is a master at the guitar!!!

Megadeth is my favorite band, and Slipknot is one of my fave bands so it is really cool to see that Jim has some Mustaine influences in his playing while growing up

saw slipknot 3 times and jim was always the one who interacted most with us. well, him and chris... I think jim recognizes me at the 2nd show and gave me a pick. great guy and sick musician

I want a part 2, Loudwire!

I’ve never clicked on a video this fast

Man, as a guitarist myself, I can definitely relate to Jim Root.

Favorite guitarist ever thanks Loudwire!

Seems like a cool dude, very humble with all of his success. I admire that a lot

"Jim Root Plays His Favorite Riffs" - talks for 6 minutes.

Love when people show recognition to Megadeth 🤘🏻

I saw the title and thought oh hell yeah this is gonna be awesome, and then he breaks straight into smoke in the water 😂 love it

This man makes me happy

I busted out laughing when he said he goes through love/hate phases with guitars. 😂 We can all probably relate on some level. 😁

years from now, kids will be asking why "ManServant" is dressed like that......

I love Jim's playing

So much respect for the playing. OK and the beard thanks for this Jim. You're amazing!!🎸🎶

This man didn't disappoint me, he can play smoke on the water

"Stuff like that" - Jim Root 2020

fuck Jim!!!!!! that was awesome! Is there a full version of this? I could literally listen to him talk about music all day. Wish RU-vid was around when I was growing up! I feel so pumped up about guitar and I don't even play!

Everytime I see this man being interviewed seems very nice genuine human being but he's f****** scary when he's on stage keep up the good work sir I'm sure there's a young man out their inspiring to be like you

Anyone gonna talk about that scary ass mannequin in he background. And it had suspenders...

6:06 2019 Tortilla man screams

This was awesome

Jim Root freaking shreds man !!! Him and John 5 of Rob Zombie are two of my favorites...

I believe the Hetfield riff he plays is actually written by Hammett on Disposable Heroes.

6:06 He's so cute with the faces he makes.

From myself and all maggots, we absolutely love your work Jim!! And your beard is fantastic!! \m/

Great to see Jim

6:05 AHHHHHHHHHHH uUhhhHHHHHH

I really love rock music but I never learned to play instruments and this make me sad :( Jim stay safe 🖤✨

Just saw that player plus you bought. Love the sound of it and great color. Never listen to much slipknot but I do now.

I hit the like button because the audio is so good.

I love how Smoke On The Water got both him and Dime into guitar.

Take a shot every time he says “& stuff like that”

Love his videos

Jim and Mick are my fav metal guitarists!!
