Slipknot is full of cool, interesting riffs (like the main riff in "Left Behind"), Jim adds a lot of groove into the music like the second verse riff in "All out Life" and they even bust out some crazy solo's when the song has room for it. That's the good thing about Slipknot, they chose when to unleash the guitar solo's instead of forcing them into everything.

I love Jim. My favorite guitar player. No he's not the world's best guitar player. Not even close. But he's a great dude and he shoves every ounce of feeling, heart and emotion he has into the strings when he plays. I've seen him live so many times and every time, every song is different than it was every other time and he has never once seemed to just be going through the motions. He's reinventing the song every time he plays it based upon who he is in that moment. He always sets a positive example. He's a role model I wouldn't mind my kids aspiring to one day be. Love him so much. One of my heroes for sure.

I’ve always seen Jim Root as a traditional metal player. You know, the technical stuff we’re used to listening from slipknot, which is great! But I keep forgetting this guy has some very powerful musical knowledge when it come to guitar playing, man.

Fender if you would make this guitar with humbuckers and some darker colors I think this would be a big hit with metal heads. It has a really weird cool look if you would just beef it up a little I think it would be great.

Jim Root: “It’s like a tele bridge with a jazz-master body and a strat headstock.” Me: “ It’s very sturdy; it appears to be made of some sort wood; it has about 4 legs; and it can hold my weight pretty well.” Director: *Face-palms. “Son, are you talking about the chair?

@Gothika666 5 лет назад

He was fired due to musical differences. He claimed that SS wanted to focus on "radio play and money", in which Root fought against, and that led to the split.

@condemnedgaming.9190 5 лет назад

Yeah, he said and also quoted that “I see stone sour becoming a sinking ship now, consider one guys is only in it for the money and wanna be more mainstream, and I said fuck that.” And he was also more focused on the new slipknot album at the time, so he left your early. So like quit/ fired.

@scriptosaurusrex 5 лет назад

Corey's ego. He single handedly ruined stone sour (yeah, yeah, I know, his project to begin with), the same way he pussied down slipknot. Only real upside is that making stone sour even more pop than it already was, we might see some real grunt back in slipknot. They never lost the mood and atmosphere, but fml I have been listening to the first two albums again and that shit is extreme. Reminds why as a young teen I was borderline afraid of the music.

@@ihavewaited90daystochangem51 you must be on drugs thinking slipknot is the side project. I am happy to stand corrected of rand vs taylor - although that's not in line with what I read at the time. Slipknot as a successful band predate stone sour as a successful band by a long shot. Taylor went back to the project between some of the slipknot Albums and they happened to turn big as well.
