Jim is my favorite part of Slipknot. He used to be my favorite part of Stone Sour as well. He brings so much melody to both bands and I love when melodies are sneaked into heavy songs.

Dude, I fuckin love Jim. He's always been my favorite Slipknot member since 1999.

Even when Jim was in small club bands he had a certain thing. He's just always had that " guitar god " kinda vibe I guess you could say. I was actually pissed when he left Deadfront to join Slipknot.. cause honestly I was not impressed with their demo / album MFKR. But then the Roadrunner debut came out.. Ahh.. Ok now I get it lol.. I mean even twenty years later.. It's still surreal to see a band from here reach their level.

Take a drink every time Jim says "You know" or "Uuummmm".

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Jim's not 'hot' or 'sexy' in the conventional way but he just exudes cool. Not like smooth cool but quirky cool that just draws you to him. Plus he's a kickass guitar player! 🔥🔥

His coat blends in SO well with the background. There's a small spot on his coat that I kept trying to wipe away on my phone's screen lol

I met Jim when they first did their headling show and then at the time when he mentioned jada smiths band (worked stage at both shows) and honestly he's such a gent, had time to hang out and chat, remembered me the second time of meeting him.

i can't love him more. he's not that one annoying asshole who keeps saying "i live in the wrong generation" or "pop music sucks". he seems so open to things
