SLIPKNOT Guitarist Healed, Ready To Record With STONE SOUR

December 27, 2005

Launch Radio Networks reports: SLIPKNOT's fall North American tour was nearly sidelined when guitarist Jim Root broke his wrist in a biking accident the day before he was supposed to leave for the trip. Root sat out that trek, but told Launch he's healed and ready to get to work on the next album from his other band, STONE SOUR. "I'm all done, man," he said. "I got my cast off, like, two weeks ago. I just had my last examination and my last X-rays, you know. He said I'm all good. He said, just do everything as you normally would now. Every once in a while if I'm not thinking about it, you know, I'll, like, use it, put all my weight on it or something and that doesn't feel very good."

STONE SOUR, which also features SLIPKNOT singer Corey Taylor, is writing and rehearsing new material at home in Iowa and will begin recording its second album on January 25.

Root told Launch that the band will work at FOO FIGHTERS frontman Dave Grohl's studio in Los Angeles.

STONE SOUR's new album will follow up the group's 2002 self-titled debut, which went gold and featured the hit single, "Bother".

SLIPKNOT is nominated for a Grammy again this year in the category of Best Metal Performance.
