Stone Sour Fired Jim Root Over The Phone

10/02/2014
. (TeamRock Radio) Slipknot's Jim Root says he was sacked from Stone Sour over the phone. The guitarist recently said he was dismissed by Corey Taylor months before the news became public, while also revealing the move was for the best as it gave him more time to concentrate on upcoming Slipknot album .5: The Gray Chapter.

But now he says he was fired during a phone call - and still doesn't know the reasons why. He tells Music Feeds: "I still haven't talked to certain guys in that band, so I really don't know what they were thinking or 100% of the reason why they made the decision they made.

"It was basically put to me over a phone call and I thought that was pretty lame. Whatever - it is what it is." Taylor previously said he felt terrible about the decision and insisted the pair talked through the situation before work had started on the new Slipknot record. Read what he had to say here.
