Prism Supply x Harley-Davidson | My Garage | Jim Root

Our latest My Garage episode brings us to the Sunshine State where we visit Jim Root. Jim needs no introduction as a guitarist. With a legendary career with Slipknot and a best-selling signature guitar bearing his name, he’s solidified his place in music history.
Off stage, he’s developed an affinity for high-horsepower vehicles. Alongside racks and racks of guitars, his garage is adorned with period-correct Mopars and a different Harley-Davidson for nearly every occasion.
Like his eclectic motorcycle collection, Jim’s guitars are set up in a way that suits his style and upsets purists. But, with a Grammy and multiple Platinum records on his shelf, it’s clear that Jim doesn’t need to follow convention.

Jim is without a doubt the most down to earth Slipknot member, every interview this man does is so wholesome and genuine.

[@jamesennis8837]

I met them in Belfast Ireland 🇮🇪 one time they were all nice. But see jim he was so cool to my 7yr old son an me. Really came across genuine an was generally interested in us. As I said they were all cool! Clown Corey all off them. But I believe what jim Saying here about the fans say he means it

[@barbarabaroni3092]

Personally I don’t know him but in every interview he gaves me that impression:a cool guy and very down to earth.I love him.

[@mikemichaud5578]

Him and Jay are super down to earth dudes and amazing musicians

[@sweets2781]

​@@barbarabaroni3092طط

[@summerrr1]

He’s not that down to earth. He’s like 6ft 5.

[@vh3914]

Oh Jim, yes you definitely helped millions of people mentally. Me included! Picked up the guitar because of you.

[@billschinken6764]

I also have one of his Teles. Great guitar!

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

Absolutely!

[@jayeshtambe23]

Im Indian inspired by him . I bought Esp ltd and orange crush35rt 🤘🎸

[@Josh-it6uy]

Lmao

[@edwin9370]

​@@billschinken6764me too , tele is so good of him !

[@-J.P.Thomas]

Motorcycles, cars, guitars and video games... Jim Root is my spirit animal.

[@atf01234]

Jim is such a class act, what a gentleman, just living the dream.

[@bendelbridge]

Anyone else think that Jim could easily be the voice of audio books or something like that? Such a grounded personality without any sense of ego

[@hegyidaniel1022]

agreed

[@ericklein5097]

The next Morgan Freeman

[@stacey2877]

I'd listen to those books

[@BJester91]

His Instagram story is always such a tease. I’m stoked to finally get a peak at some of the rad stuff he has. Jim has been an inspiration for basically my entire life. He is such a humble dude and is genuinely the epitome of the kind of guy I’d love to sit down and drink a few beers with.

[@mst3884]

Jim has got to be the most down to earth musician out there. What a class act and genuinely cool dude.

[@akai_hana_23]

True. He even said hi to fan first 😭 i love him

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

Jim and Mick will forever go down in history as the most versatile guitar duo. From making you cry to moshing till you break a rib 🤘

[@PapawsDadillacOEMplus]

Jim and Mick are up there with Head and Munky. To choose one over the other idk if I could

[@ForLorNVuLgaR]

@@PapawsDadillacOEMplus Exactly!

[@thedragonzord_]

Jim was the reason I picked up a guitar. And the reason why I still play 20 years later

[@patrickolivier1]

20 years me too. Started at 12, you? 🙂

[@thedragonzord_]

@@patrickolivier1 stated at 14

[@WardenOfTerra]

He deserves all the success that he's had and more. No ego, and all heart. A true artist.

[@marcmardini6873]

Jim is the fucking man. I love that he said that if his music helps a fan mentally that means more than any of his toys. He just seems like a genuinely good guy and someone that you don’t have to feel bad to call your hero

[@_fehn]

jim is the chillest dude on earth

[@iannchen7173]

Cars , guitars….that garage is certainly my dream❤

[@nopainallgain13]

Ive never been a huge fan of slipknot but Jim has tickled my brain with music and bikes. Dude is a straight up cool dude! This is amazing to see!

[@hexedriffsstudio]

Such a humble, down to earth, chilled yet hilarious and musical God, Jim is. Wish this video had been 1hr long though, really get into the details of everything but it's still great, Cheers guys!

[@rickycompton2610]

Jim Root is such a wonderful and humble human being, this is the reason he is loved by so many fans of his music in Slipknot and Stone Sour, great video.

[@bvonroth]

I got so excited when I saw this episode was Jim! My nine year old was like “Jim Root! He has Harley’s?!” big love in this house. Such a cool guy, humble in his achievements too.

[@brandonjohnson191]

I had no idea we're basically neighbors and he rides too, it'll never happen, but it would be awesome to ride some miles with him.

[@stephaniemarie6976]

I was doing photography for a magazine an I got to meet him. An, he just has a good soul. You can feel it when you meet him.

[@forg_tfuI]

thats so cool.when was it?

[@jadefurman2840]

Jim; thank you! My first slipknot show was at "southshore" in Okoboji,Iowa. Long before Corey joined the group. So proud to see Iowa boys getting the success they deserve.

[@jayteesgear]

Only needed to watch 2 minutes to notice the difference between Jim and his singer. What a trip this guy seems SO down to earth. Those are like EXACTLY the Cars Id buy once i become sucessful. Gorgeous Strats & Bikes as well. I dont feel like he’s bragging about what he has. I feel a humble vibe from Jim in this. Great video

[@brandonjohnson191]

Yea, he's pretty much the polar opposite of Corey.

[@jayteesgear]

@@brandonjohnson191😂💯

[@zachsabbath1]

Corey is a shitbag egomaniac. For all of his complaints about MGK--Corey's solo records sound exactly like MGK. Dude loves to hear himself talk and is beyond conceited. Whereas, Jim and Mick just come off as regular dudes. I haven't been a Slipknot fan since s/t was released when I was in 8th grade in 1999 but have always enjoyed Jim's interviews about gear.

[@AntonKhoff]

I could listen to this guy for hours, what a great personality

[@powerups5434]

Ive always liked Jim, he seems like a real guy.

[@michaelmitchell5909]

I had no idea root had harleys. Fucking best episode ever man.

[@user-iy9mr9sr9p]

Мечта настоящего мужика!!! 💪🏻Джим хороший и добрый человек! Slipknot forever! 🤘🏻from Russia

[@mattthompson5908]

He used to live up in Jacksonville fl. I put the tires on the black roadrunner. Really cool guy. And that roadrunner is badass

[@IIChainsawII]

Imagine getting to hang out with Jim and jamming or riding bikes. One of the coolest dudes and personal hero of mine. Rock on Jim!

[@darkdemon666ify]

I have met Jim Root 10 years when he was in Stone Sour and I will tell you he is one of the nicest guys I have ever met and natural goofball. Another thing too he is like the uncle you wish you could have lol

[@svtman93]

Jim is definitely one of my all time favorite guitar players, and also inspired me as a guitar player. The first time I saw Slipknot I was front row literally right in front of Jim. I recently bought one of his personally owned Fender Jazzmasters from Wild West Guitars. Back when he sold some of his collection to that shop. Incredibly, Jim himself actually wrote back to me on instagram and we had a nice convo about that guitar and cars too. Really hope I get to meet him one day he seems like such an awesome dude. Such a cool video and great to finally see what his garage and some of his collection!

[@BR-qw5tb]

Jim is a legend, I’d love to have a beer with him. I was at download this year and they killed it!

[@carlosortiz821]

Jim Root looks like a young version of Gandalf the Grey jejejeje (but a metalhead version)... I`m a big fan of his work on Slipknot y i didn`t know that we share the same passion for cars and motorcycles. Thanks to the friends of Prism Supply for share this with the world... Cheers from Chile!! 🍻🍻🍻🍻

[@yuridapazotosco]

THE BEST VIDEO ALL OVER THE INTERNET! I've been a Jim fan since i was 13 and been a motorcycle lover since i was i kid... See both things in the same video just warms my heart ❤

[@sethshaw4830]

Jim is such a solid guy. Super cool. I dont think id ever be able to leave that garage.

[@777vikingfan]

The kind of guy ya can sit down with, have a brew and just talk shop!…smart, humble, and confident.✌🏻

[@Killswitch1411]

Slipknot for sure has been the most important outlet for me through my young years and into where I am now as a almost 40 year old man. Kick ass collection, well deserved!

[@bishfish1514]

this is awesome harleys and metal 🤘

[@jamesgatzke349]

I've had the privilege of meeting Jim a couple of times in the store I work at. A cool and approachable Rock Star for sure

[@kaydenjordison7205]

Jim is that kind of "old school and simplicity still the best" type of guy and it's awesome.

[@lesleydavis6511]

Jim you have definitely helped me many times over the years and especially now, you are my inspiration every day, you are so kind and humble and I cannot thank you enough for your kindness to your fans we are truly grateful for your music and being a role model for us all, as you once said, you rock ❤

[@crovian1985]

Jim root is so cool ,what a house he has

[@samswales9280]

Jim has such an infectious laugh. He always seems to downplay his ego at every chance, too. I'd love to sit down and talk shop with him

[@Tyler_Durden987]

That garage is GOAAAAAALLLSSSSS.

[@trashedbodomguy]

Didn’t know he lives in Florida.good for him to get outta Iowa

[@TheJacqueswong]

I love how organized his garage and music area. I love how purist he is with the cars.

[@thedudeabides6786]

Jim is a great guy, very humble and honest. I’d love to meet him one day 😎

[@Dustin359]

Jim seems like he'd be an awesome guy to hang out with!

[@leftlanesyndicate]

Mopars, Motorcycles and Metal! The perfect combo! Great video!!!

[@JohnnyGingy]

Heavy, Fast and Loud 🤘🏻

[@zakkeryc]

He’s got my top two dream mopars. He also happens to be the most influential person to my musical ability and overall lifestyle. Mad cool guy

[@ashercollins-cf5by]

Jim Root is my idol. I am glad to have him be my inspiration for my guitar playing. Slipknot is my favorite band and Jim is my idol and inspiration for my guitar playing. He’d be a great person to meet.🤘🎸

[@eldiablo3794]

Im a drummer who taught myself how to play drums playing along to the first 3 albums and disaster pieces dvd.. before KZbin and Joey will always be my favorite drummer but Jim has always been my favorite member of slipknot. Chill personality, no ego. Even inspired me to learn guitar as well. When I saw them in 99 he was playing janky charvels and I think hes signed by them now. Pretty cool to see his career progress over the years.

[@valensi1988]

This is absolutely amazing. No words. The Road Runner is in my humble opinion the best muscle car ever made. Dream stuff.

[@MrMaaley]

Glad to see our Jimmyboi living his best life. Collecting and using the shit out of whatever tools he collects.

[@valyrian7076]

Everything looks brand new to the tires, insanely pristine condition and presentation. Whoever takes care of it, insane job!

[@niteshades_promise]

Preforming on stage and riding bikes is the best therapy.🍻

[@superlonwhite]

Thanks for helping me over the years! I’m now in my 40’s, a dad, and a working professional and still a Maggot!!!!!

[@elementjoe]

Riding with James while listening to his music would be one hell of a good day.

[@Sktzo]

I can never get over just how big he is. Mick too.

[@joeysnowynoey8054]

Slipknot is the reason why I got into metal and Jim is one of my biggest inspirations as far as guitar players. Love how no bs he is, and how unpretentious the man is. He likes what he likes and doesn’t give a fuck what people think.

[@georgeyhavoc]

Slipknot helped me through some tough spots mentally. Your music definitely makes a difference. Loved seeing some of the toys you've acquired!

[@SplinteredCompany]

I really like to watch interviews with Jim, he seems like such a nice bloke.

[@crucifire9224]

Every record mr root, has helped me in each chapter of my life. Since 99. Thank you!

[@JayW6]

Jim is such a badass and inspiration!

Not only did you get to hang out with Jim Root, you got to jam with him !!!!! Damn dude. You can call it quits, you have arrived. Awsome

[@frailimbnursery]

[@Utsushiwame]

Jim Root is a Beast, may he continue to love doing music

[@carlgoetzinger6876]

I have never gotten so excited and clicked on a video so fast. I’ve wanted to see inside this man’s garage for ever.

[@b.w.22]

Really appreciate this dude’s energy. So grateful.

[@brianspangler3771]

Jim Root has always been not only my favorite Slipknot guitarist, but my favorite metal guitarists period. This video only made like him even more. Such a down to earth guy. That black 69 Roadrunner is such a sick ass car.

[@mrbrocephus3849]

I got his guitar pick last year in Vegas!!!!!!!!!! ❤

[@J0ZZE123]

May you double what you already have since you remain humble and down to earth. Keep on rocking.

[@hamishmacrae6084]

I. LOVE. EVERYTHING. ABOUT. THIS! Thanks to all involved!

[@ImExisted]

Jim is so badass looking on stage with his length and mask along with Mick. Also a such gentle giant of man.

[@iAmSantiCruz]

We love you Jim. Your music saved many lives🤘🏼♥️

[@alfaman4113]

Man this dude has a healthy mind state. That’s why he always looks chilled

[@ApHoney]

An absolute dream garage honestly. Not too much, just enough of the right things.

[@MarkieMTB]

Had the pleasure of meeting Jim multiple times and he's a crackin fella and my idol !

[@marconileo]

I'm impressed by how cool he is

[@diegomazzaron9191]

I absolutely love Jim, he is such a great guitarist and writer and also a badass character. 🤘🙌🔝

[@FullFrontalExposure]

Jim seems like he’s a very humble gentleman.

[@kevinnicholas1]

What an awesome dude. I've been into Slipknot, old cars and bikes since I was a teenager so this is rad.

[@s8nzangel]

I love him will forever be my favorite guitarist. I also see he opened the silver burst 😂

[@Anon24052]

Jim always looks like someone you could have a beer with and just chat about whatever.

[@rmuckluck]

This series is awesome! This one is my favourite. Jim’s collection and set up is amazing!.

[@ecrusch]

Best vid from Prism in a while. Thanks, Jim, you rock in a BUNCH of ways.

[@sheilaremsing5810]

Thank you Jim You are an inspiration Stay the cool guy you are Changing lives Your fans love you for a reason

[@Colin.W]

Love it. The music definitely helped through high school bs. Some of the strongest nostalgia is for these guy’s personality. Still a fan and actually waiting on another one if his guitars in the mail now.

[@FreeCandy.]

Jim is such a good dude.

[@johncree50]

Thanks for taking the time to show you're fantastic collection. I have an El Diablo myself but really enjoyed you and you're passions! Rock on!!!

[@williamsalloom7331]

Such a treat of an interview with this legend, excellent work! Jim is so humble and chill, so cool to see.

[@johnspeck]

Not a big Slipknot fan, but really dig and respect Jim. ❤

[@marilynwebb2679]

I love watching him play. It is a thing of beauty. But, I have to say from my OCD brain, can we talk a second about how clean and organized that garage is? I just started listening to Slipknot's music and I'm hooked. And I think Jim is brilliant.

[@jimcrawford2219]

Coming from another Jim, Jim Root is right in there with me...guitars, motorcycles, cars. I wonder if he likes to hunt, fish and golf. I wish he was my friend!

[@jimbrady3675]

SLIPKNOT makes EVERYTHING better!!! Thank you so much for interviewing Jim! What a collection of cars, bikes and guitars!

[@shannonjensrud5712]

AWESOME!!!!!! Man I love SLIPKNOT, one of the best metal bands of all time, and it's because of Jim, Mick, Corey and both drummers! What an incredible display of the fruits of Jim's labor! I love when stars appreciate what they've earned, and are humble. Those 2 beautiful Mopars are sweet!! And to have just ONE of those nice guitars would make me beam. Great video! 😊

[@markszablewski6619]

Totally down to earth dude, inspiring story..
