About Me

Nicknamed "The Peach" (apparently comes from a movie "James and the giant peach") October 2, 1971James is the newest member of the band. He joined Slipknot during the recording of the CD. He is very fast and technical with the guitar.... practice pays. Despite looks James is the tallest of the band @ 6'6, whereas Mick, who looks taller is a mere 6'2. He is more oftenly called Jim and his hair colour is brown. He was previously in the bands Dead Front, Atomic Opera and Stone Sour. James was a waiter/busboy and said that he "hated that greasy hell"Quote - "The guys chose this mask to tame me. Joining this band takes a little getting used to. I was a timid guy before I joined them. Now I'm a freak! Am I as borderline psychotic as the rest? Ask me in a month!" (talking about bondage mask, see below).Mask - He wears a court jester/demon mask. MEANING: "It's pretty much everything I am, but it's the stuff I'm afraid to let out sometimes. It's a jester's mask and I kinda have that prankster's side to me, so I spose it's my own little way of venting that silliness in the grossest kind of way. This is my old mask because it doesn't feel like the right time for the new one yet - it needs some work doing on it." - Jim originally inherited Josh (ex-guitarist), old mask, a bondage one containing a purple tassel on the top of it. He wore this until the new Jester mask was created, it is the mask that can be seen on the front of the self titled album cover.INSTRUMENT: Guitars: Jackson SLP Jackson DR-3 Dinky Reverse Jackson SL2 SoloistAmps: Mesa Boogie DC10 Head Carvin 4X12 Speaker Cabs (top and bottom)Effects: Dunlop RotoVibe Digitech Whammy Pedal Voodoo Lab GCX Guitar Audio Switcher Voodoo Lab Ground Control for GCXAccessories: EMG 81 Dual Humbucker PickupsOld bands: James used to be in Stone Sour as the guitarist, Corey was the lead singer for this band as well, it's unsure how long he was in the band for though.
