This is why Jim is my favourite, such a humble honest guy. No arrogance what so ever, just looks like a cool dude. Hope I have the privilege of meeting him one day. Would be a dream come true.

[TheLucasGregory]

I just love his hairstyle... so fucking amazing!!!

[SoulofNeurosis]

I think Slipknot should make an album that brings back their eerie noises, and creepy vocals, such as in Tattered and Torn, Skin Ticket, Purity, and Diluted.

I vote for album 6 to go heavier. No-one does heavy like Slipknot.

[Samaele]

Jim root is the only guy I know who can use pink floyd in talks of a new slipknot album and have it make sense to me

[relatedzombie]

Jesus Christ... Can you imagine if they made a follow up to Iowa? 

It would definitely make sense. New era, new members, new Iowa.
I get that Corey won't sound as insane as back when they first started, but he's still got it.

02:34, go fucking death metal style like Iowa, go fucking anxiety and horror. If they would do this I would piss my pants with exitement.

[IntimateAlien]

Seeing Slipknot Live was one of the best days of my life. Whether they make another album or not in the near future, I'm proud of the grey chapter, and how they've evolved into what they are now.

Going to put my hand up and say I'd back a Ben Weinman collaboration 100%

[HexFestIreland]

Definitely no dig towards Stone Sour at the end!

[JDAXIS]

We should be focusing more on Slipknot, rather than spreading ourselves thin with other... "Projects" 

#StoneSour

[hldmskills]

I want them to go heavier again and darker.. Like Iowa

2:57 that moment when you realize your over 40 and still in a band like Slipknot

[paigelivesay]

"Yanno?" "Yanno?" "Yanno?"
I don't think I know, Jim.

[reptofor]

Please include "T T T TONGS" in the new album

[UndeadArmyGen]

Am I the only one who would prefer a follow up of the Subliminal Verses?

[dereknoland]

I personally have always thought Jim had the best mask

[JimmyKilmister]

I'm a time traveller, the 6th album is called We Are Not Your Kind

[OscarHerrera-zhvx]

I love his hairstyle. Does he just cut his sides or just his left side???

[overtrist]

Lovin' the fact that Dillinger Escape Plan and Slipknot seem to support each other and might even collab.
