STONE SOUR's JIM ROOT Shows Off His Guitar Rig (Video)

April 28, 2011

SLIPKNOT/STONE SOUR guitarist Jim Root recently showed off his guitar rig for the AllAxess.com team in Australia. Check out the footage below.

AllAxess.com is the new guitar-based web site web site launched by DEVILDRIVER guitarists Mike Spreitzer and Jeff Kendrick. The site focuses on instructional videos from professional guitarists and has an emphasis on learning the songs that made the guitarists well known and taught by them. The page also contains a biographical database of many of the world's well-known and not so well-known guitar players as well as blogs on the science of guitar playing and a celebrity blog focusing on celebrities discussing guitars and guitar playing.

STONE SOUR bassist Shawn Economaki was forced to leave the band's current tour to deal with undisclosed "personal issues." For the time being, STONE SOUR is continuing to play shows with a replacement bassist.

STONE SOUR is taking part in the "Avalanche Tour" with SKILLET, THEORY OF A DEADMAN, HALESTORM and ART OF DYING.

The band's third album, "Audio Secrecy", has sold 167,000 copies in the United States since its September 2010 release, according to Nielsen SoundScan.

STONE SOUR's latest video, "Hesitate", was filmed on September 20, 2010 in Los Angeles with director Paul Brown (JACK WHITE/ALICIA KEYS, AVENGED SEVENFOLD, JOHN MAYER) and directing collective Beta Movement/Skulley FX.
