the green fuzz is a acorn – jeffrey epstein did k..l himself
Mick Thomson please
Do play guitar? No. Do I understand all of the technical details they talked about? No. Did I watch the whole thing? Yes, because Jim is my favorite member of Slipknot because he seems like such a nice dude. He’s definitely the coolest member of Slipknot imo. ④????????
Dagan is on it man ????
oh shit is it an Electro Harmonix Mainframe!? @47:00
I have never listened to them. I kind of stopped listening to newer metal in the 00 when radio died. They're theater looks great and I just love this guys axes. He has similar tastes and seems like a cool dude.
Tone Questing™️
I don’t know if someone’s already asked this, but I would be interested in knowing what guitar is used for Scissors live? What string gauge? For some reason there’s always a mention of ”drop B, except for one song” but no further mention of it ????
Why couldn’t they show the mystery pedal?
If they make a passive set of Demoniums I’ll buy the fuck out of them!
it would be great to have his presets on cortex cloud
The pedal they “can’t show” is the Epstein Didn’t Kill Himself Fuzz by Acorn Amps
omg dude gettin gray
Im sorry but jim root is the best guitarist of 1995 to now. Not just on skill but on the love
What is the pedal on his board they can’t talk about ?
47:00 Epstein pedal ????
The fact that Jim has the Epstein pedal is hilarious
I love how Dagan is an actual fan and knows the backstories of the guitars and gear used by Jim. It made the interview so enjoyable.
Welcome to the 7 String Family!!
Also got a QC to mirror my live Diezel Rig…. It works really well, greatly improves the cost ratio and sounds really good. Had the Kemper before, which I found a bit anaemic in comparison to my amp set up. The Quad does the amp thing really well.
I have two Squier Jagmasters and a Fernandez JG40 that are all getting FLoyds. I wish Fender or someone made a fucking offset with a FLoyd!
Dude gets it. Spot on take with every guitar sounding different regardless of the pickup
Great interview… Jim clearly enjoyed this. Thank you, what a treat! 🙂
And I also like my tube amp too
I love my quad cortex. It’s a beast.
Wish there was more parts with Jim, seems like a cool guy.
This is such an excellent interview. Hands down one of my favorite players. Shout out to Brad as well! Amazing work as Jim's right hand man. Also, loved his work when he played with PTW ????
Y ése quién es??
aahhhhh that meteora its so cool
I'm a fan of Jim Root's guitar playing for nearly 20 years and own 4 of his signatures. This interviewer asked so many tremendous questions that I was curious about myself. Bravo and thank you for this content. And thanks Jim and Brad for being amazing as always
Its always great to see new Brad Clifford content, i dont even play guitar but i admire what a professional he is. Anyone else hear Sid's kid crying in the background?
Yes we want passive pickup jim root sig????
Omfg Jim has become grandpa now! Omfg I’m getting old. FUCK!
I was actually part of this interview but I'm 5'9" and you can't spot me between them
I understand English, but I would like this video had subtitles
How many times did he say yknow?
WE NEED SLIPKNOT IN DROP-G!!! DJENTKNOT 2025 LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
He did song with STP????
Great video Man. Much love from Australia
So the mystery pedal towards the end is the Acorn Epstein Didn't Kill Himself fuzz? I can see why you didn't want to show that on camera||!
