3. Wanna know how Slipknot sounds without Jim Root? Listen to Mate Feed Kill Repeat or their Self-titled. He didnt write anything on there

4. Lipsnot sucks.

5. Bring back the pay phone lol

6. Jim revealed this info a few years back on a Fret 12 video lesson and documentary set.

7. Jim and Mick in a car together sounds like a comedy special holy shit

8. Pay phones 😂😆😂😆

9. @RockFeed bro you should cover why Ronnie and Falling In Reverse cut their set short and went on a rant

10. what a gorgeous man. no homo.

11. I grew up with pay phones but it cracks me up that James called Clown collect. Wonder if Shawn ever made him pay him for the phone bill😂

12. Glad he eventually did join Slipknot.

13. I still miss Joey

14. I always loved Jim. He is my favorite member! He’s talented, smart and has great hair!! Lol 😂❤

15. SLIPKNOT SUCKS. Just sayin

16. chew the root

17. and he didnt do any guitar on the "Barcode" album,or their sef titled album,I think it was Josh Brainard maybe? But yeah,someone else recorded the guitar for the album

18. That pic of younger Jim 🫣🫣

19. Jim's story kind of reminds me of Justin Chancellor of Tool's story. He was offered the position & turned it down, initially. Think it was his brother that said 'What!? Call those guys back…' sure glad these guys had a change of heart!
    Where i live in the southeast, there's a walmart that had a payphone in it, up until not that many yrs ago. Ive been here going on 16yrs, so probably ballpark 5-7yrs ago. I've had to use it before, lol. Peace & good health to everyone.

20. Great story

21. Huge slipknot fan but last 2 albums literally put me to ZZzz hopefully they return with that relentless aggression with their new album sometime nexy yr or in 2025

22. Maybe slipknot was making baby music back then

23. Jim = 🐐

24. Deadfront was great!

25. I've heard this a few times. But it's honestly a good thing to constantly put out there. So many people have a "I should have" moment. No different than a person working a shitty job that doesn't pay the bills. They don't want to leave because they're so use to how things are. Sometimes you gotta go for it.

    I mean fuck, Rockfeed started out in his garage. Now he goes to concerts and interviews people in the industry. This comment is for those who need to hear it. I know I am typing it and going I need to shit or get off the pot myself.

26. Pay phones… we’re old lol

27. Good for him for knowing what he has to offer and what was ABOUT TO TRANSPIRE

28. Isn't this a case of arrogance disguised as humbleness?
