“Well, basically Corey and I were in Stone Sour before we joined Slipknot.” — Jim Root

There's such an energy and emotion to rock music, which is a lot of the reason I go back to '60s and '70s bands and look at some of the fire they had.

I think rock 'n' roll, in a way, has been dead for a long time.

People that like Slipknot that could care less about Stone Sour, people that like Stone Sour that don't know a lot of Slipknot.

Slipknot's the kind of band you need to step away from and kind of take a break from and let it heal, so to speak.
