Thanks guys for watching, and a million thank yous to Jim, Brad, and the Slipknot Team. The song in the intro is Deadweight by Luna Muerta. Check out the music here: distrokid.com/hyperfollow/lunamuerta/youve-been-warned
34min parts is awesome.
New Jazzmaster is only $100 cheaper then American made. Why the small difference???
Great vid man, you should try investing in a Lavalier Mic so you don't have to tire out your arm holding the mic haha :)
@@sergiorosas5932 free calisthenic workout man lol
You are the worst
Playing Slipknot riffs in front of Jim takes some baaaaalllllssss
Bad ass got his tone instantly.
man I would have froze
@@wesnorton141 haha which would be really hard using Jims guitars through his rig.. plug and play \m/
You can tell he was nervous as shit Lol - I would be too.
That’s probably the greatest compliment he could’ve given
Seeing Jim teach him how to play Solway is the most wholesome thing ive ever seen
In which minute does he teach it?
@Drew Johnston Thanks dude!
@BlapDuck Right?!!! That was surreal.
he is such a sweet heart ... nicest guy ive ever met
@33:41 That would be nice to get a guitar lesson from Jim.
The fact that Jim just wants to show everyone how to play songs right is awesome.
I adore how passionate Jim is toward the kids and youth.
His focusing on keep the prices low so they can afford to buy their own Jim Root Squier guitar.
The man is a legend. So passionate about music, kids and youth.
Same thing for Tom araya with his ltd bass
he's a legendary musician also true businessman
yeah agree with u
I was really really impressed.
Even after all this time, success didn't change him, and you can sense that. I've watched so many videos of him, it's obvious he's not faking it.
Good man.
"You know"
Jim Root - Since 1900
Diego666
Nice meme/ joke but 1900? Really? Wouldn’t he be like older than a 100 years old? Unless you kinda meant it as a joke. Then I feel stoopid
Shadow Hunter41223 chiLl
Homie Chril
No I only overthink. No chill in my life.
No shit it's a joke
Jim ‘You Know’ Root
Jim Root seems to be such a cool and humble guy
He absolutely is
My thoughts to
You know
@@balthemor9045 Sorry I'll remember "you know" next time.
Right? I'd love to just kick it with him and riff out.
You have to find someone who looks at you the way Ray looks at Jim
True bro, I could see his eyes shining hahahahaha
He really did a good job interviewing.
Honestly, I love how Jim lives in the real world. At 25:41 they start talking about where his new sig is going to be made and he goes on to mention how he wants to keep costs down for the kid with his first job or the single parent who wants to buy a birthday present... Honestly... the dude just blows my mind. Most other artists with sigs just go straight high end with no compromises. Jim's just keeping in mind that real people are going to be buying his stuff and it shouldn't cost them an arm and a leg. I need to meet this man, shake his hand and just say thanks for staying so cool despite the fame.
maybe thats why fender build guitar for him???
He is the shit love how they throw those masks on and become metal demons but they all especially Jim are down to earth and real dudes
One of Brian "Head" Welch's signatures guitars that sells on Sweetwater is 600 bucks. Hardly awful for all that it offers
Some guitarist want to make it possible for kids or adults to get into playing. Affordability does help and to get a awesome axe. Jim loves Fender and he shows that their guitars are able to be played. Tom Araya of Slayer did not have a custom. He wanted kids to be able to go to a guitar shop and pick it up at a reasonable price to also sound just like what he uses. Mick in Slipknot is down to earth also. He loves his craft
I'm a huge fan of Jim too and kinda get your point. But here in the EU his Mex Jazzmaster is currently on sale for 1.5 grand. That's... got nothing to do with a real world or down to earth gift a single parent could afford for their kid's birthday:D
Here in germany the average monthly income after taxes is 2.2k. For childless singles, so without the costs of a child.
Man Jim Root was so cool in this interview. Never have I seen an established guitar player hand over his guitar to the interviewer to jam out and then teaching him. Wow, Jim if you're reading this, THANK YOU.
Let establish your size first. And then putatpitapaper on your hand.
14:04 I am still learning how to play guitar. - Jim Root
The best guitarist know there is always more to learn
His explanation on why he's still learning is fantastic.
Even Jimi Hendrix said in an interview when he was in England, some lady asks him if he has reach the top of guitar playing. He responded with there is never an ending to what you can bring out in your play. He wanted to always push himself to do better and come out with a new sound
Humble
It has now occured to me how insanely tall Jim is.
I’m also not the tallest tree in the forest haha
Hes fucking 6"6
Yeah he’s an inch taller than me lol
Jim and Mick both are massive specimens. You gotta be that swole to handle tones that heavy.
@@bitronicc1887 And beautiful people get everything handed to them. Welcome to life.
Jim is so kind, humble, open minded and passionate. Some musicians have nothing to share but he... He’s a dude.
Jim is just so stoked to have you there mate and that’s the best thing about this whole video!
Yeah man he told me how pumped he was because we basically became friends this past month and it was so cool how we kinda just clicked on camera
Just seeing him show you his guitars, it was like a kid showing off their toys...you can see the excitement that he got to talk about his passion
9:05 I really love how Slipknot basically just accepts the "consequence" of not revealing the identity of the new guy so they just decided to embrace with the tortilla guy meme lmao
"I don't think it's low enough"
Jim: "Yeah right. What are you, Green Day?"
Made my day hahahaha
I didn't get the joke, would you please explain? Thanks in advance
@@autopilot980 - Have you seen their music video for Basketcase? That guitar is almost on the ground. 😆
If he had busted a Green Day riff on the spot with Jim's guitar, I would have lost my shit 🤣
@@Bearded_SARTECH i would forgive him if he played Wake Me Up When September ends hahaha
time ?
"I'm still learning how to play the guitar." - Jim Root. Wow, I can't say how much I can relate to this. I get so frustrated at times because the guitar doesn't always come easy to me. Jim is so inspiring for being so humble and yet such a great player. I respect the hell out of him.
@32:27 "what, are you in Green Day" lmao
David Perez I cried XD
The two tallest and intimidating members of Slipknot seems to be the chill ones
Like a very large dog. They dont need to bark.
And the shorter ones are the loudest lol. Just found out Corey is 5’7”😂 he looks so tall in the vids and pics and on stage lmao
Not a huge slipknot fan. But Jim is a great interview. Ray seems cool AF too.
Hey thanks so much!
@@xanderraymondcharles Crazyy recently got into your channel bro not knowing you were on Rig Rundown but had an instant familiarity when I started watching your videos and now I know why lol 🎸🤟🏽
How can you not love Jim Root?
Cool guy, like a big kid. LOVE HIS STUFF!!!!
Hope this gives your channel the flood of subscribers you deserve. Jim’s awesome, and respect to have the balls to play SlipKnot in front of Jim on his guitar.
Thanks man! Honestly I didn't even think twice about it. I just played impulsively and the first thing that came out was Duality. Jim and Brad were such great people, and he made my friend and I feel at home.
Stay Metal Ray I shared the video on Imgur. I hope more people get to see it. It honestly doesn’t surprise that Jim is so cool, it’s like he doesn’t realize he is a metal icon/“god”.
Thanks man! Yeah he’s a great guy
@@jeffleecust a big artist should feel like a normal person but when he is on stage should feel like the biggest rockstar in the world!!!
@@xanderraymondcharles who is this Alex he keeps talking about ? Not vman?
To me Jim Root and John 5 are the most humble and down to earth full on GUITAR GODS on this planet, would love to be able to just sit and talk to either or both of them. Cool to the Bone!!
"Guitar god"
Yeah, it's weird: they're both chill, they both play hard/metal, and they're both Fender diehards. Being a Fender fanboy all my life, I'm happy that those two have turned the stigma around from Metalheads.
And they both have signature squire teles
@@retrorewind6042 lol yea such misuse of the term
@@xscorpx i hate when that term gets used to describe an average or above average player. No hate for these guys but theyre not very high on the list of guitarists
Not being a "star" by letting this dude play your rig is the coolest thing I've seen done on a rig rundown yet. That makes you VERY admirable Jim Root!!! Thanks for leading the way- in showing other stars how to be human first!
special thanks to the interviwer for to hold de microphone that high so long.
Anytime
awesome to hear it all from the man himself. congrats on landing the interview gig ray.
Duuuuude. This is freaking HUGE for you! Not only that, but you did an outstanding job talking to him. Love this channel!
Thanks Andy!
I met Jim back in 2004 just after he had done a show at OzzFest (literally had just got out of his jumpsuit and mask 5 minutes prior) and he talked to me about his rig and set up for a good 15 minutes. Me, a totally random fan that lucked out and got backstage. He could not have been nicer and I still admire him to this day.
Love that line about how he doesn't want to lose that "organicness" when writing music if he learns theory. Wooten has a saying, "theory is a toolbox, you have it in your trunk, you knly use it when a problem arises.
Who disliked this btw?.. Jim is so freaking humble! envious people I presume.
Not a Slipknot fan by any means, but I always enjoy watching Jim Root talk about guitars. He also has some serious wisdom about getting a good metal tone. You don't need high output pickups AND shitloads of gain. One or the other usually does the trick. Good on you Ray, awesome interview, happy for you that you got to do this!
Joel Bremner Real talk! I don’t listen to them, but I just like watching Jim Root vids. I think it’s his vibe... chill af
This was better then premier guitars interview 😂well done ray! This was the best
I agree 😂👍🏽
I agree, nice to actually have the musician talk about things and not be interrupted every few seconds.
Its because jim root is so humble
Yeah dude, he covered all the gear head stuff as well as the background of the builds and what he was looking for and needed from specific models, very thorough.
This was the best rig rundown I’ve ever seen. He is such a cool dude!
Thanks man! Yeah he’s such a cool dude, and we both had a blast doing it!
Jim is the kind of man who would teach you every Slipknot song just for you to play it the right way and enjoy it
One more reason to love Jim. Because he's such an amazing and chilled guy
Love the videos bro, jim really cares about the consumers and understands that great guitars dont need to cost a million dollars.
Michael Martinez exactly. That’s nice of him
That Strat Floyd Rose setup is sick. Friedman/Orange rig...DAMN that tone hits the spot. 32:14 thru the end of this video is super surreal. Can you imagine hanging out with Jim Root, an absolute riff god, and just talking shop while jamming on his rig? This is like a dream man. It's stuff like this that makes me feel like a teenager again. So cool.
I can listen to Jim talk gear for days. Love this guy's passion and how nice he is to Ray...makes me an even bigger fan of his. This was WAY better than the official Rig Rundown with Jim.
Fucking best ever interview, so natural and shit. You definitely got my subscription.
Mannn thank you so much!
@@xanderraymondcharles Thank you for the video ! Greetings from France ! ;)
This is awesome. Jim seems like such a down to earth dude, it’s cool when you can meet your idols and they’re not douches
" hittin up Alex" sounds fun
Jim seems like such a cool dude
😂😂
I really appreciate the fact that Jim thinks about the youth like he does. Thats too cool.
dude no way! That is so cool, stoked you got the opportunity to meet with him!
Thanks boss! Yeah man forever thankful for this. It's so cool story how Jim and I became friends from his guitars
@@xanderraymondcharles Super happy for you dude, hope the channel just keeps getting bigger and you have more opportunists like this!
Holy shit Ray , watching you go from under 1k subs to interviewing Jim Root and the new job , just goes to show, work hard enough at your goals and dreams, you’ll achieve anything. Congrats on a stellar year !
Thank you so much, and I appreciate you sticking around with me!
I play drums but I could watch this stuff for hours...
I like Jim
Good interview
man that dude is so down to earth and nice. you wouldn't think he's the guitarist in one of the biggest bands on the planet
Not being a guitarist and knowing little to nothing about guitar, I still love listening to musicians talk about their gear. Hearing the passion these guys have for their craft is awesome.
Jim is such a nice and humble guy, he’s always been my favourite SK member
Probably one of the best Jim Root interviews Iv ever seen
thanks so much!
Jim is a complete nerd......and i love it. We need more people like him around. Love from UK
Where was this filmed, backstage on the Death Star? :)
😂😂😂😂
It looks like it
yeah. WTF.
Cool. I enjoy listening to Jim talking about gear.
Looks kinda like the back stage area at BB&T
Yes
"Clown and *_Tortilla Guuuy_* "
The way he pronounces it is so funny to me
Edit: Is Ray officially part of Jim's friend group?
“Do you want your guitar to be made by Mexicans in Mexico or by Mexicans in Southern California?”
Facts.
HAHA made my day!!!!
It's endearing to see how much Jim trusts his techs.
Please tell me you spoke to Mick too!!! That would be dope
Mason Enfinger probably
Mick does doesnt as do as much promo tho... but we can hope
@@thomyyyyyy but he's absolutely great in gear interviews. The premier guitar rundown of his rig was hilarious, especially considering how much he gelled with the interviewer
Jim invited Ray so basically this rundown was Jim's exclusively. Ray shyed away from the other members out of respect. :)
@@JCVenomous Thats correct Jack. I only wanted to hang out with Jim
Holy crap man, I can’t believe you nailed an interview with the man himself!
Thanks man! Yeah it’s a good dude
"I'm still with Orange, but I needed a _real_ amp"
Savage
He was saying he needed something small to jam with that's why he got the small evh lunchbox head
He said that when he was jamming he was using a line 6 helix, which is a modeler. His timing was just off. He wasn't saying anything about Orange at all.
erroneous
That was the fastest 45 minutes of my life. I wanted more. Jim is such a non rock star for being a rock star. A few years ago I wanted a Dave Murray signature Strat. The early one, the black one with cream Dimarzio's. I bought a Mexican strat and got all the parts for it. The only thing different I did was locking tuners. It's my signature model that isn't worth anything but to me. Maggot for life.💖
Always good to hear big musicians that don't have massive egos. It looked like he had fun talking with you unlike someone like Malmsteen or some crap. I thought it was funny that he kept asking you to identify his gear. Awesome dude. You did a great job btw!
Dude the sickest interview and gear nerdout I’ve seen this summer.
He really does seem like the chillest guy ever. Great role model for aspiring and experienced players.
40:40 Great point here "A lot of people wanna hear the new stuff, man, it's blowing my mind -" Shows how good the new album is! Birth of the Cruel would be a great addition to the set!
Ray, man, respect for days for landing Jim Root. How accomodating and patient could a metal God possibly be? Jim seems so normal and humble like John 5 is. Setting my alarm for the 2020 release date. Rock on Ray! Iwill be waiting for all your new content.
I like that he's not chasing his ego with custom shops. Mexican guitars and even considering Squire. Great inspiration for beginners and players on small budget.
”Im still learning guitar”
*dude legit Does a Solo of a solo on stage.*
I saw him do it in person at Alpharetta, not that I'm complaining.
Man such a good show that was!!
My neck still hurts from that Alpharetta show man haha
i saw them in alpharetta too lmao
I got 3 herniated disc at that show. Could barely walk lol
James talking about kids who wants a guitar from his hero, so humble and down to earth, love this guy
You got taught a riff by Jim Root on his own guitar. I don’t think it could get cooler than that. Awesome interview and with him choosing you to get the first glimpse into his new setup. Definitely something to feel accomplished and proud of.
Hope you get lots of subscribers after this vid ,you really deserve it !
Thank you so much!
Love that Jim let the interviewer play his guitars. also love that he called the new guy Tortilla Man
Thank guys for watching! And thank you to Jim for the opportunity! For those of you wondering the intro song is Luna Muerta - Deadweight. Available on Spotify 🤘🏼
Thank YOU brother! Awesome vid!
@@Josh_Jackson Thanks josh!
@@Josh_Jackson it was awesome haha
Probably the best jim root interview ive seen good work
@@tenchy202 hey thanks!
The most underrated chanel on TH-cam ! Hope your chanel climbs up . Greets from Germany and all the best for you
Thanks so much man. Cheers from the USA
🇩🇪
Watched this last night over on patreon. You did good ray! Jim is always the coolest, glad it was him that got me into guitar. Will never stop buying his sig gear!
Finally!! I've been waiting for an update on Jim Root's rig for about 2 years!
Props to Ray, I don't know if I could play one of my idol's guitars and riffs in front of him!! James Hetfield would probably take one look at me and walk away haha!
Hetfield is above talking gear to fans. or talking to fans at all unless he has enough PR people and handlers involved. Probably tired of being asked why Lars doesn’t try harder.
@@bwgti Yeah, I can't remember seeing a video of him going over his gear, only his signature pickups for an EMG video. Though, I've seen his tech talking about his rig on the current tour. Lars, man...I love him, and before I knew better I thought he was a great drummer. He's great with Hetfield, but you put him with anyone else and he won't be able to do much.
Craig M - Well. All true. But what is cool is Slipknot, Jim Root and Ray took time to make this video. In this case all the fans did really well.Great job everyone involved.
@@bwgti Papa Het is actually pretty nice! But propably too old
@@VS-rv5xh I think he is secretly an unbearable asshole - if you know him well enough. But I don't give a crap either way. I think he is possibly the best rhythm guitarist in the history of metal - okay. outside of Iommi He is the only part of Metallica that still kills it live year after year 1985-2019.
You know what is killing it? This Gear Rundown with Jim.
Jim and Mick are the only guitarists that make gear talk interesting to me. John 5 was pretty good too.
this was a fantastic interview, a real joy to watch! I love when the artist is stoked because the person conducting the interview is actually switched on , knowledgeable and is prepared making for a great time!
Dude I just really love and appreciate how kind Jim is and he’s totally just taking his time talking to his new friend Ray here back stage. Just so cool Ray it’s awesome you had the opportunity to interview Jim so cool thanks for putting this video out there and I’m glad this video has blown up so much for you!! \m/
"You Know"
Jim Root 2019
You know........
drink everytime jim says "y'know"
I’m 47 shots in thanks to your little game.... yknow... 😂
Since 2015
th-cam.com/video/Yh0Ho_--_XM/w-d-xo.html
I didnt catch that
Omg so funny and not overused joke...
I find myself coming back to this interview every once in a while. It's so cool listening to a guitar legend taking the time out of his day to shoot the shit and talk gear so casually and passionately. You did an excellent job asking him questions that excited him and it lead to a super engaging conversation. I don't even play guitar but I find it so fascinating listening to you guys talk about gear and tone! Great job brother!
This was the best rig rundown not made by premier guitar I've ever seen. So cool that you got to meet Jim and talk about his gear, was a really great video. Hope the opportunity comes again for you to meet again in a year or two.
Jim is one cool ass dude. To let the interviewer play his guitars and just start talking about the guitars while the interviewer is holding them, is pretty damn awesome. Good job Jim.
This is hands down the best jim root interview I've seen, Ray. You killed it. It's so cool you got to play the new jazzmaster through HIS rig and he even showed you how to play the riffs dude 😂 so sick. You definetly deserved this \m/
Cody thank you so much man. Thanks for always having my back and digging what I dig
Best rig rundown I've seen so far! Seems like Jim is an amazing guy just to hang out with.
Epic!!!! Man Jim is such a chill dude. I respect the way he’s so engaged in the interview.
Jim seems like the guy in the band who is so humble, he's like "I'm here too"
Man, I feel so happy and proud of you!
Wow ! This is my favourite video now !! You are a lucky ass guy. Thanks for sharing this with us! 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Best interview I've seen in years!!! So natural and great to see
I’ve watched this so many times getting something new every time 🤘
Jim Root seems like a truly great human there’s no faking that!You as well X
Thank you, Jim for keeping in mind all the teenage kids and families that want their kids to have great guitars! I come from a guitar playing dad who wanted me to play but he received a band teacher instead 😎😂🤷♀️
As much as I’d love to hear “Scissors” live again, stuff like “Red Flag” has to take priority. That one and “Orphan” are absolute bangers.
Great interview and so lucky to get access to Jim! He seems like such a cool dude to hang with and you can tell about how passionate he is about music.
It’s really nice to hear someone who cares about kids and young musicians being able to afford gear.
Things are so expensive now a days, especially instruments. Refreshing to hear, thanks Jim! Great video too!
Awesome stuff man! Jim seems like a proper nice geezer too. Sooo jealous of you being able to have a go on his Jazzmaster. Keep it up mate!
This was awesome Ray!! Thank you and Jim!
I've waited a long time for a new rig rundown from Jim thank you!
Jim talking with such passion.hes so down to earth and obviously guitars are his life.great interview.thankyou.
Awesome interview! Jim seems like a such a chill dude.
Great job man you could tell you nervous as at the start but by the end you guys were so relaxed it flowed well. Also so cool he let you play one of his guitars, would of been awesome if he let u play one of his more worn in ones just so you could see how different they feel from the wear. But this was awesome 🤘🤘
I don't know any of this technical stuff about guitars. But watching Jim nerd out about guitars and his gear brings a smile to my face. Much respect to him for being so passionate for his craft. And congrats to you, for landing this interview. This was really cool to watch.
That guy is just the sweetest... He gives guitar lessons, he's humble and almost shy. So lovely.
