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'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.

Every sound of his voice brings me to a 70's usa i dont know why.

Jim Root is one of my favorite people to hear talk.

[@OrangeSunnSet]

I remember the times when the Slipknot members never took off their masks (maybe weren't allowed to by their record company) and today Jim Root is the personification of a H.P. Lovecraft Character who is a Professor in Ancient Dark Mythology who mastered the arcana of banishing Cthulhu himself. While he wears the Meteora infront of his 19 th century black dress coat.

[@Avalenor]

Legends say John Mayer bought the new Slipknot album after that lick at 1:00 cause he thougth they are a blues band.

[@stuffy_halford]

I love how when he finishes guessing and takes his blindfold off, the first thing he does is down tune it 😂

[@orgy_organizer]

"I'm not used to playing blindfolded so bear with me on that" *plays perfectly*

[@maxmirror7260]

It’s good that a fully fledged metal head guitarist uses a fender. U rarely see fender in metal. There needs to be more!!!

[@SandeepSingh-zc5sh]

Keep the shape and make more iterations of it. Add a humbucker/ in the neck, make a double header model etc with rosewood boards etc. I'd buy one if more versions of the Meteora came out but I've already got a lot of Telecasters (as do a lot of people I'm assuming) which is basically what this is.

[@kitano0]

Hopefully it will be successful enough that they will do that...I would love to have one with some P-90's, or one P-90 in the bridge position...same color, though!

[@SandeepSingh-zc5sh]

@@kitano0 I would love a double P90 model in Butterscotch but with a rosewood fretboard 😍

[@kitano0]

@@SandeepSingh-zc5sh Sounds good to me! I also think they should make some models without those black-block inlays...that seems to be a deal-breaker for some from the comments I've read.

[@DelScully]

yeah I really hope they make this line a standard.. It's very new but still old feeling which is awesome. Throw in some p90's even and more standard colours!

[@metallijosh]

Geez, when did Jim Root turn 65? Haha.

[@mindcontrol67]

Don't know but I wish I had that much hair.

[@trendkill3333]

All the cigarettes he’s been smoking man, those things age you a lot but hey the dude is almost 50

[@divyamgautam1407]

6'6 with 6 inch beard. This man has the physique and hair I want

[@droptuned83]

Bad ass

[@1thess523]

@@trendkill3333 the touring itself will do it, I remember seeing this punk band called Down By Law back in the the mid 90's and the first time i saw them the singer Dave Smalley was looking fresh faced and I would say he was maybe pushing late 20's, well the next year we saw them again and man he aged like crazy because they did like a full year of non stop touring then recorded a new album then started a new tour, I'm in Texas and they are from Boston so they already had plenty of gigs before they got here. Just that alone will age someone.

[@deleteduser1266]

love that he plays "a liar's funeral" from wanyk so basically we got a leak of it without realising

[@JohnRoot4]

Jim Root It is the best one has a great technique without using Distortion his way of playing the guitar is amazing Jim Root forever ❤💕🎸🎵🎶🎼

[@andy_182]

nothing special hes just playing random frets up and down its really easy.

@@andy_182 random frets? Lmao

Not really

[@cleangreenshirt]

"I want to write a Pink Floyd record now" =-D Jim's the man, best demo yet for this new one

[@animatedbreak]

Jim Root felt a guitar blindfolded and practically knew what it was. I felt a guitar once *without* a blindfold and still didn't know what it was. Damn professionals! Serious note: Jim Root is a badass.

[@archbishopfrank5144]

Animatedbreak TV check out rob chapman’s blindfolded stuff to see more like that lol it’s impressive to watch
