“In my opinion, I would still like to go into a studio - because I love the environment of being in a studio - and record a great album beginning to end, but then maybe not release it as an album. Maybe put singles out there, put songs out there - either give some away or release some the traditional way.”

American musician

Jim Root is an American musician, best known as one of the two guitarists in the nu metal band Slipknot. Born James Donald Root, he is designated #4 in the band and also served as the former lead guitarist for the rock band Stone Sour. His work is tied to heavy guitar music, especially the sound of Slipknot and, earlier, Stone Sour. The record of his career here reflects a figure known for playing in two prominent American rock bands rather than for a broader public role outside music.
