Slipknot unmasked interview-James Root

[@cameronjeters5289]

its weird to hear him say that he hates the mask i think his mask is one of the coolest ones next to Sid's

[@jbake118]

Jim's just awesome. He's a great guitar player and a cool down to earth guy. In my opinion he's one of the greats

[@Hidanzo717]

“What, in your words, does every member bring to the table for the band ?”....”I’m not doing this” - Jim 😂 Wish Chris Fehn could hear that now 😪

[@ShannaMyers]

I just got to where he said 'what personal life'...things like this make me sorta sad, but I am so damned proud of him, he knows what he's talking about and I'm glad he's not in denial of all this. GO JIM!

[@nblax41]

i know, i wish there were alot more people like him in the industry

[@TheRevPLAGUE737]

i really respect Jim, Mick, and Joey. those guys are freaking geniuses, with music, and just everyday things.

[@m0j0101]

he would be a great dad

[@bobindashadows22]

He speaks so much truth, its unbelieveable, especially about the work that goes into touring and being in a band,

[@cmc47834]

one of the best headbangers ever!!

[@yancybutler]

hes a very intellectual person and a great guitarist

[@BluesMachineLive]

he's such a hero

[@pantheraleo87]

I've heard but nothing but affirmation from people who have met Jim that he's an absolute champion and an all round great guy. Awesome guitarist too :-)

[@nblax41]

hes an extremly well-spoken man, not many people would view artists like him being so mild mannered

[@rad0r.]

awesome! james you are my god!

[@Dessmondo]

Love this guy very nice person and one of my guitar gods ...

[@lesser260]

@msteinbuchel jim is always like "you know what i mean?" and joey is always like "you know" XD

[@JunjiJupiter]

James kinda reminds me of a skinnier penn from penn and teller....

[@AlexanderAndreassen123]

He looks so nice:0

[@dsatalino1020]

i agree with james, a lot of hard work is put into with band stuff

[@kaydified]

god hes a great guy, a mean guitarist and a genuine dude, big ups

[@GNRRose1990]

James is awesome :)

[@edmundtayhokim]

@SpeedoInc Since Voliminal, Slipknot didn't really differentiate who is the lead/rhythm guitarist, both of them share the same role.

[@yooareawesome]

No it's not "short" for it. Jim is a nickname that a lot of james' use. Just as Bob is a name for Roberts'.

[@Alekzbizkit]

The things he says about regrets are damn smart.

[@AnimalisticMaggot]

they're a lot of places where his name is written as james root but i've noticed(in all the videos i've seen)whenever he takes his name he says Jim like :" Hi this is jim root"

[@jocina93]

dude you are legend! :D

[@bbguy17]

Or listen to any slipknot song with a solo, they're usually written by him and the more melodic part is his playing

[@Iamabadperson69]

I can hear it a bit, makes sense though because they're both from Des Moines Iowa

[@mmaurer26]

i think what they do in stage without the mask wouldnt be the same and would be so cool to watch

[@sublime446]

isnt that craig jones ive seen another vid were the same interview is titled craig jones....

[@adriansmith76]

why does he look diff here did he get his hair cut it doesnt look at all like the one where he guides you through his house then shows you hsi tour amps in his garage

[@CalmBefore6]

slipknot = 9 of the greatest musicians the world has ever seen, and I mean theyre up there with mozart, or bob dylan or who else youd say... i mean theye are behind the music, who cares if its metal or classical, its the creativity that counts. loook at all the things that were stacked against them and the still got so succesfull, theres got to be something speciall about it.

[@BringsyBrinx]

what's similar between jim and mick= they say 'you know' and 'you know what i mean' hell a lot. check the interview with mick for further info.. cheers :D

[@rockingrambo7340]

Behind the mask they play very fresh country type music

[@woodtan]

coheed and cambria was there too

[@RootsMaggot]

yep, I must agree!!!:)

[@CLIFTYPOPS]

@Frenchtrivium what interview?

[@ARKELJ93PJ]

oh yes!!! SLIPKNOT!!

[@darkhero101010]

from what dvd is it

[@pucothemage007magic]

This is Jim dammit !!!!!!!!!!

[@Massivecarcrash]

he's a towering 6'6 (bout 197cm) But both him and Gray seems like nice fellows.

[@hernandezjesse3553]

I think during thid i terview he was tire of things now he since more happy than before , he has video of him full in hise life and even in a video of rock foundation he said he use to be in his mind lock down that why this interview he sound like this

[@darkcrimson23]

I was thinking that right before I read this. Uncanny. Seriously...Teller will walk out any second and become Jim's personal guinea pig.

[@Iamabadperson69]

My mistake sorry, was he raised in Iowa ?

[@Dessmondo]

Thats the point!

[@MrApplefr3nzy]

Jim was born in LA actually :)

[@reallynazstuff]

"what personal life?", haha, now that was funny

[@872463051]

idk why I am watching the youtube video of this when i have the DVD right here in front of me, lol. but anyway, as corny as it sounds, Jim here has been a really big influence on me, musically, at least. Like him, classic rock is my love, but i transfer that into my metal playing. He is such an amazing guitarist with no matter who he plays! stay (sic)!

[@thatchavsatw]

i fuckin idolize this guy seriously, i look up to him soo fuckin much n we hav a lot in common, i.e. hes a rhythm guitarist - i play rhythm, we hav the same name, hes in my fav band etc

[@sharpzhooter001]

yea brandon!!!

[@rkochamp07]

I think if u saw james on the street u would probably never think he would b in a band like slipknot at least while he has his glasses on

[@cmc47834]

i agree dude no one gives slipknot credit for beening one of the best bands alive today sure theres bands better then them ...but slipknot brings something the other bands dont have

[@dirty06maggot]

i think he's a very nice guy.

[@karpfenfeatsalg]

the new album is coming 2008...when?

[@Get2TheDeLorean]

very humble, lonely dude.. he's a beast though.

[@Ir0nF1st924]

damn, Jim and I think a lot alike

[@HDM111]

STAY( SIC)!

[@stankylittleangus]

He's semi-depressed, like, fuck seriously me and Jim Root are so alike, the talk about baggage, the growing up thing, I know exactly what he's talking about.

[@Swagga113]

2:41 sick ass laugh lmao

[@najtrows]

He's Referred to as JIM alot also :)

[@Kha096]

Mick Thompson plays guitar. Paul Gray plays bass.. Btw his name is Jim Root not James Root

[@LBNMKRS]

best guitarist no doubt

[@dragonslayer156]

cool dude

[@iamliljook]

James doesnt even look like he would he would be anywhere a part of slipknot haha.. he looks like a businessman behind that mask

[@nazbuk]

jim is from james

[@MoOsHw]

Actually he was trying to go for more of a Kiss themed mask but it ended up looking more like a jester...

[@MXGWAPS]

i like his mask. he looks good with it. stay (sic) dudes!

[@Vladiniho]

this is him;)

[@Shoji86]

I don't think it has todo with him not liking people in the band.i think he just doesn't want to say the wrong thing about someone cause in his eyes it might not seem offensive but in the other guys eyes it might be.

[@matezup]

Are Jim and Mick tall or Corey and Joey are dwarfs?

[@neonom1024]

how do you know? he never talks

[@GuidoPerdomo]

yeah.. penn and teller

[@theshow2k8]

For some reason he reminds me of Batista in this vid.

[@TheRevPLAGUE737]

joeys like 5'4", or 5'5" right? or is he taller?

[@thepieisready]

i forget which one is he?

[@thepieisready]

i mean which mask does he wear?

[@sgman310]

RIP PAUL GRAY!

[@MarnibiOutThere]

the things he sais are so smart ^^ you honestly wouldnt think hes in the band called slipknot xD

[@MrHeII]

the guitar.

[@NishadGeorge]

tastefully speaking i'd say jim. mick is the i guess generic lead during slipknot...covering all the main leads but i mean jim's knowledge of the guitar is just as much as a virtuoso would... mick just knows how to play hella fast and thats good but jim's just all around good at guitar.

[@terriblexlie]

he reminds me of penn from penn and teller in this video. nevertheless, james is fucking amazing.

[@shrinksta]

he is my god

[@Kiwibacon619]

what mask duz this guy wear?

[@SpeedoInc]

Hes so tall and hes a beast!!!! He should prob. be lead guitarist....i mean mick is beast to but still....

[@ETV101]

in micks interview he got his hair in a ponytail lol

[@pballin77]

he does actually

[@GeneralAjaxus]

How do you know he"s lonely?

[@angelus656]

Jim is very smart, mature... I like him, he's not so "rockstar", he doesn't have a big fucking ego, if u know what i mean...

[@PIZZACHICKENCHEESE2]

isn't it Jim Root?

[@jaredthompson13]

wow thats him

[@toolshopmarathon]

Slipknot: Voliminal, Inside the Nine.

[@BaalCalom]

but Corey is "you know" too^^

[@terriblexlie]

penn is the talking one. i meant physically.

[@Intruder051]

he looks like David Paich from Toto(when he was young), but he is more slimmer than him. :D

[@StarInvasion999]

he says like and you know a hell of a lot lol

[@paardomg]

Who's that nerd sitting in the middle of the screen with his hair tied back and glasses? Total geek

[@sebastal]

Reminds me of Seth Rogen...both are real cool

[@PabsIsSupaFLY]

but he was raised in iowa.

[@annetteslife]

He was born in Vegas as well

[@revan91m]

hes the only one who dont say 10 times fuck in a sentence xD

[@JT_Grogan]

his voice sounds like corey
