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

One of my favorite guitarist and slipknot member.

Jim looks kinda like 70 year old Dave Grohl

Somehow in the year 2018 Jim Root is cooler than Dave Grohl.

Love when my dad talks about when he went to school with Jim and how everything in Jim’s life was music based

Your dad must be so cool to be around and hear stories like that

Jim with the mask: Totally metal vibes! Jim without the mask: Ouh, he's very suit in jazz music. Maybe indie music.

1:50 "A Liars Funeral" one of the greatest songs ever created by Slipknot ♥♥♥♥

Metallica's James grew his moustache back. Seeing Jim Root with this long-ass hair made my life.

Yep, and Hetfield is probably growing his hair back too

A year later, Jim's new signature model jazz master, with a flatter radius, block inlays, thinner body... You see where he got the idea from :)

The fact that hes playing blindfolded is hard enough

The joy in his laughter. It is a nice guitar.🤘

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.

Jim root is extremely talented and kept the values of old metal in a modern version in a positive direction

Where's the mask?

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

His Jester mask on the amp behind him. Met all nine in 99 for their first Arizona concert. Wish I could back in time and soak it in.

You should see his guitar collection. Insane.

Liar's funeral being played at 1:53 the funny thing is i watched this video before maybe an hour before listening to liar's funeral.
