SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR's JIM ROOT: Me And My Guitar

September 16, 2013

U.K.'s Total Guitar recently spoke to SLIPKNOT and STONE SOUR guitarist Jim Root about his main guitar; a custom shop Fender Jazzmaster that he grew to love. Check out the footage below.

While STONE SOUR plans to take the rest of the year off, Root will perform with SLIPKNOT on October 19 in Brazil. The band will then begin putting music together for its long-awaited fifth album in early 2014.

"House Of Gold & Bones - Part 2", the second part of STONE SOUR's two-album series, "House of Gold & Bones", sold 35,000 copies in the United States in its first week of release to land at position No. 10 on The Billboard 200 chart. The record arrived in stores on April 9 via Roadrunner.

The "House Of Gold & Bones" albums were recorded at Sound Farm Studios just outside of the band's native Des Moines, Iowa with producer David Bottrill (TOOL, MUSE) at the helm.
