Jim Root & Josh Rand of Stone Sour: The Sound and The Story (Short)

[@BTSrocker]

It's making me feel somewhat old (relatively) because this came out my junior year of high school and was always wondering when the jazzmaster was gonna come out back then 😅

[@CooCooAwesome]

It's cool of Jim to get Josh that ltd run Ibanez at 13:13

[@MachineKnot14]

Stone Sour doesn't have that same excitement and vibe now that Jim was booted....ucks I never got to see Sour with Jim in :(, doubt I will see them at all now. It's all about that energy a band gives off..... the bands energy is way off now with Jim out

[@avi3243]

Listen to slipknot Jim's in slipknot

[@kathy0698]

Agree

[@isitthatjosh]

You're right man, I saw SS with Jim only about 2 times. Never got to see them after 2007. But it seems like Corey Taylor's side project again. I miss Shawn on bass and especially Jim on guitar. None of the guys in the band are interesting except Corey & Roy

[@jayhallman6666]

Jim’s jazzmaster is a Masterpiece build. I have and old LP that’s been my nub 1 for 19 years and also his sig Tele. But the Jazzmaster I always pickup now. He’s right it’s so comfortable playing standing up or sitting down. And the compound radius makes the fretboard feel like butter. If you like low action that guitar you’ll fall in love with.

[@maratagon]

jim seems so fuckin happy im so salty that he was kicked but what can you do man

[@AliceinCovers]

The Strat at 9:00 was stolen from backstage during a Slipknot show last fall.

[@courtneysaylor7038]

Any word on if it was found? Sucks someone would do that to Jim.

[@AliceinCovers]

+Courtney Saylor I haven't seen any new news on it

[@drewweltin89]

If your looking for info on Jim's new Jazzmaster Model this is the place I guess. I own the Sig Tele in White with the Ebony board and its fantastic. The Jazzmaster in that original Fender Red color is sweet! Loving the Chrome Top 81/60!

[@VvVGuitar]

Bald guy looks extremely unhappy to be in a band with Jim Root. I call Dibz.

[@ItsTimeIDisappear09]

considering he and Corey started the band I think they would pass.

[@VvVGuitar]

I meant the bald guitar player. Not Corey actually.

[@themaggot8]

Maybe that's why Jim got kicked out. It actually makes sense.

[@crapbag666]

Baldy was mad that hes only in one band and nobody wants him around which is why he gets stuck in des moins and snorts xanax.

[@kian0527]

This aged well pahah

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

Jim's hat is epic

[@mattiejonesmusic117]

that signature model silver strat is beautiful

[@omg432111]

13:16 come what ever may is the best era of stone stour

[@inrewts3936]

Ohhh yes

[@daleweber2579]

Little Jim & Big Jim

[@domjoch]

defenition of awesome

[@pivetlord13]

Dunlop needs to make aa signature Jim Root String Set. I would like to try out his string gauge.

[@Kimmocheck]

Jim looks like rob chapman here.

[@VesselBand]

Love these guys

[@AlexanderJBarnes]

This was an awesome watch.

[@AkiraSpectrum]

killer interview, very thorough on the gear, which all gear freaks will love :-)

[@81giorikas]

What the fuck happened and root is out? Honestly he was the adrian smith in stone sour. Everything he played was awesome, fast precise and character full, like little stories in the song or hooks. Rand is an excellent "player" but fuck personally I don't even want to remember any of his fast runs. I hope they do well but root was the guitar for me in that band.

[@mercutio123100]

Rand has no persoanlity on stage. Honestly I'd look at their live videos a lot of the time just to see what the hell Jim was doing haha

[@vinnysouza2016]

mercutio123100 SAAAAME DUDE

[@mexicanmaggot666]

Guys, the wait is almost over. We will see Jim Root's Fender Jazzmaster guitar in stores soon! Check out his Instagram account stuperbee for the picture. It's happening.

[@mrskallywag666]

Jim said on instagram about a month ago that they will all have ebony fingerboards with colours to be announced and that was the last update

[@deathdreamnl]

jims kawai moment

[@dariananahumimendozamartin1793]

James

[@AaronGarcia21045]

18:17 Josh giving Jim the death look

[@drewweltin89]

These two guys are my favorite duo in modern music.

[@Fidozo15]

I didn't knew that Johnny Sins played in Stone Sour tho

[@jimistephen]

Daryl Ho you just need to look for an "on/on double pole double throw" switch. Get them from dimarzio or any other parts manufacturer out there.

[@LouSassles]

I meant like Fender has the "Blacktop" or "Modern Player" lines. Just name a line or design a line with Jim! I wasn't talking about the signatures he has!

[@Mystic_94]

Sick..

[@NovaxLova]

I'm sorry-Did this video make anyone else want to sit astride Jim, wrap your arms around his neck and draw him near, then kiss his face..? Spewing he's not in Stone Sour anymore, I'll never get to watch that gorgeous face play live now.

[@alfqueen9912]

+Nova Lova YeS

[@zacharyvinson2338]

Well I agreed until the wrapping part. I like chicks but I’d like to talk to Jim about gear

[@LiterallyEd]

Hate to be that guy, but what song is playing at the 5:03 mark?

[@TheUnknownReject]

Absolute zero

[@SuperWannabeGuitar]

15:20 anyone know the song?

[@SawyerSmoak]

I believe its Mission Statement from the Audio Secrecy album.

[@sammylane21]

Man you gotta be totally immersed in your guitar playing to understand and use what Jim is talking about here.

[@kubouzavretaspol]

Well, the stuff that Jim is talking about in video is pretty easy to understand . :O

[@mrskallywag666]

At this stage they're only doing ebony necks with colours to be announced according to Jim on instagram

[@TheErnestoVidales]

Finally

[@guitargeek1984]

c'mon Fender get yer ass movin !! i want that Jazzmaster !!!

[@JzSage]

I didn't know Joe Satriani was in Stonesour

[@Zac-bc4id]

What's the name of the song at 2:38?

[@liamheafey]

Idk if this is too late but it's called Mission Statement.

[@100000cocacola]

wat's is the name from the song at the benning?

[@DanielSon311]

2:38 anyone know what song that is?

[@DanielSon311]

Never mind found it. : Mission statement

[@PabsIsSupaFLY]

he has his own line of telecasters and stratocasters, dude.

[@jamslife8149]

Does anyone know why Jim Isnt in Stone Sour anymore? And what's the song in the intro of the vid?

[@jamslife8149]

Vinny Souza ....what does josh have to do with it though? I get that Corey fired him and jims mad, but what did josh do?

[@vinnysouza2016]

JAMS Life​ As far as i know...Josh was mad at Jim because after Paul's death, Joey left(or got kicked)Jim was doing alone what he used to do with Paul and Joey(they wrote all the songs)and was only focusing on Slipknot...and that triggered Josh! And he said that it isn't about Corey why he got kicked...it was Josh fault(he didn't said it was Josh, im just saying that lol)and i guess the others agreed, because that's actually bad for the band right? So there ya go...if i explained it bad let me know. OBS:Jim(probably in a internet or a fan question on Instagram)said that there is only one guy in the band who's there just for money, and if you look at Josh...well...motherfucker looks like is being forced to play

[@jamslife8149]

Vinny Souza ohhhh....okay that makes sense, thanks

[@vinnysouza2016]

JAMS Life No problem bud

[@PierceAkers]

Hey what's the song at 15:11 ?

[@jailbreak434]

I have a severe case of CRS. Not sure what to take for that.

[@rhinestonetigerinaleisures3155]

What song is at 3:46?

[@NonstopWolf14]

That's no song, its just sound checks lol

[@ralphieralph9176]

[@melithemeli]

[@MalnutritionUSA]

[@LouSassles]

[@WRXjasonSTI]

[@DeathStarGuitars]

[@WRXjasonSTI]

[@Thorley666]

[@AaronGarcia21045]

[@kathy0698]

[@BlackrockLobbyist]

15:19 ladies and gentlemen, the beard bang

[@TheGreenArr0w]

[@Razrback]

[@trendkill3333]

You can tell Josh wants to be as cool as Jim but he just isn’t

[@adamhumphreys9605]

Jim has 3 carbon Copy's in his Rig

[@mexicanmaggot666]

I also suffer from CRS, Jim. LOL

[@zackduality-1189]

Min 18:37 till 18:43, that´s the reason why Jim quit Stone Sour, Josh Rand is such an asshole!!!! Jim rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@kevin339]

It's such a damn shame that Jim isn't in this band anymore

[@agentchickenmcgt5910]

no way can you think that!

[@kimleone78]

Jim looks fucking hot in that hat

[@NickGuitarMalfara13]

YESYESYESYEYS

[@themarciosrodrigues]

Jim Root and Ritman

[@guitargeek1984]

gear porn !! i love it !!

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

playin guitar in bars, cleaning the johns after.....you have no idea how true that statement is...I believe he would be teaching guitar somewhere.

[@PerSemester]

I Got like 10 guitargasmes

[@proudsaiyanprince2651]

Josh is the perfect example of how someone can be such a talented musician but have absolutely no personality.

[@crapbag666]

Hes a talented musician? Read that he doesnt even bring music to the band which is probably why jim was kicked out. The band probably never played anything he wrote.

[@TheUnknownReject]

@@crapbag666 Josh brought in most the heavier songs and Jim did a lot of the more melodic shit, Sillyworld, Gone Sovereign, Absolute Zero, rumor of skin, etc.

[@isitthatjosh]

​@@crapbag666nah Josh wrote alot of big SS songs. You can tell what Jim wrote some big songs too but realistically Stone Sour is sort of like Josh's baby

[@WhiskeyCentral]

Gone Sovereign

[@reddalchemy5970]

Bald guy does not have rocker appeal...at all. I would lick Jim Root’s beard anytime. Lmao!!!!!!

[@TheMusicfan189]

Josh's rack of guitars is guitar porn to me. Like, holy fuck. Ibanez will always be the best, those guitars are sexy as fuck! :D

[@crapbag666]

He still doesnt have his own custom guitar. Dude sucks ass so hes not important.

[@andycook4432]

I think they are stoned.

[@KAPGXXX]

Jim Root and Joe Satriani! hahaha!!!

[@SilkandScrooge]

Josh is so boring compared to Jim.

[@snowman2kmill]

you should just get a charvel

[@grillo1985]

maybe some models left handed....

[@bwknowles98]

suffering from CRS can't remember shit

[@jjmadoublen7375]

How can you deal with the ego of Corey Taylor?

[@Claudio.Brito93]

CRS = cant remember shit

[@davidmorrison713]

That Jazzmaster looks pretty boring
