Jims solos are a small part melodical but after that its just always the same lots of hammer ons and pull offs.... not saying its bad but I always see people say this about them while Mick is just as good at that.
Mick is faster and more technical (the PERFECT combination you'd want in a rhythm guitarist for a metal band.) Jim is more creative and better at shredding. Excellent combination!!! BOTH are an amazing live. However, I'm more partial to Mick's style of playing
It's like a ren and stimpy thing funny to say. Jim is excellent at finding creative outlets while mick is heavy and technical. If I could assume their background mick listens to a lot of heavy metal and Jim listens to soul and classic rock. There is no winner in this one. Together they make a damn good record on guitar.
Your assumption is correct. Jim hardly listens to Metal, and likes more jazz, blues, and classic rock, while Mick enjoys the hell out of more brutal, death metal, grindcore, deathgrind, stuff like that.
@@jasonbond1794 But it is. They've both said it in many interviews, most notably, on their 2014 Audiobiography. Jim explains how even though he grew with metal, he prefers more blues and classical rock, while Mick tends to listen to heavier stuff, like death metal, goregrind, deathcore, etc. You can even tell in their solo playing. When Jim tries out guitars, he does play chunky riffs, but also does a lot of time-signatures, jazz lines, tapping, and even forms of math rock, while Mick does more shredding, fast-tempoed playing.
@@alevandet5377 not gonna get in to it here as it’s not the place but going to school with and hanging out at his and our friends houses and talking nowadays I have a pretty good idea
Personally, I prefer Jim's style, tone, and clean sound, and seeing him sit and play unmasked with no distortion blows me away. BUT - Mick is without a doubt one of the best metal guitarists around, will catch me by surprise from time to time with his speed and power, and is essentially "the" sound of Slipknot. Mick and Joey seemed to mesh well, while Jim's style seems more suited for Jay Weinburg's. Plus, Mick has an amazing sense of humor. Regardless, hands down, the winner is the fans, who get to hear both styles feeding off and complimenting each other in one band.
@@alphabroncotwozero392 you cant debate some slipknot songs have them playing different riffs at the same time. And unless they are put head to head its stupid to look at clips where they are playing solo and review them as whos better.
Creo que es evidente que los solos de James son más disfrutables, pero eso no implica que sea o no mejor que Mick, creo que es un tema de estilos. James es muy veloz y preciso lo que hace que sus solos suenes muy limpios, Mick es muy violento en su rasgueo y tiene más firmeza en sus solos, por eso suenan tan psicodélicos y frenéticos.
Dimebag Thomson Eso es también debido a que Mick tiene muchas influencias en el Death Metal,esa es la razón por la que sus solos suenan muy oscuros y pesados,aunque más lentos a los de Jim.Jim Root no es tan pesado como mick,pero es más rápido y muchas técnicas. Aun así,los dos son igual de buenos en lo que hacen.
Root. He can be just as technical as Mick (even though Mick is more well versed in theory), but way better at live solos. Mick drowns his live solos with wah and isn't understandable live. Root's fluidity is nearly unmatched and his improve is always great!
I clicked here to specifically to express at one of my favorite things about Slipknot is how these guys work together so well. I mean this is the first band where I couldn't really tell you who is lead who is rhythm they honestly work is a single unit Slipknot is a badass Ensemble band.
Jim has the feels but Mick has the Technicality, Jim does the melodic parts and Mick does the heavier riffs, they area all great one does not exist without the other it’s like ying and yang it’s funny because Jim has a white mask and Mick has a black mask, I can’t pick which I like more I like them both at the same time they are two of my favorite guitar players
Son dos guitarristas muy diferentes, no pueden decir que Jim es mejor que Mick porque simplemente son muy distintos tocando. Mick es un guitarrista muy académico y sus solos en varias ocasiones son mucho mas dificiles que los de Jim. Jim por otro lado es un guitarrista empírico pero le dan mas protagonismo porque toca cosas bastante innovadoras para el genero. Ambos son increíbles guitarristas, no creo que sea bueno compararlos, solo disfrutar todo lo que brindan.
Jim uses more of a neo- classical type tonality with some of his solos with his scale and note choices, which I like, but they're both sick players that have slightly different approaches that complement each other and gives the band it's own sound imo. Josh was great too on that first album as far as riffs are concerned.
I like how Jim literally has his ''roots'' into classic rock, so his solos and riffs tend to be not so fast but still very heavy, just like Sabbath used to. Meanwhile Mick is one fast boi, you clearly see his influences, Death metal, Eddie Van Halen, 80's Thrash, the early 90's industrial metal, like Fear Factory etc etc. For my personal like, it's the classic stuff, so i'm going with Jim, but technically, they are both very authentic, original and very, very passionate on what they do, bringing us all the aggression in this world, mixed with the beautiful and peaceful thing that only music can be.
They both amaze me with their talent and skill - having them both is what gives Slipknot such a powerful sound. I just wanted to see the video to get a chance to see them play side-by-side. Great stuff.
Jim Root es un genio, además tiene una versatilidad tremenda, desde riffs y solos pesados como lo hace en Slipknot, hasta lo que hizo en Stone Sour, mucho más melódico
Depends on what kind of solos you prefer. If you want melodic, then you prefer Jim. If you want aggressive, Eddie Van Halen-type playing (sound effects and a lot more heavy riffs), then you prefer Mick. Both are amazing players.
I love that the gematria playthrough is on here, because it such an insanely technical song to play, and its the only video that exists of any of the band members playing it. Theyve never played it live.
What I really like is the way of these guys take time out in the videos and r perfect Gentleman for their fans in the way they explain all of their guitar in gear just shows what genuine human beings they are towards their fans well done guys
Ambos são bom mais cada um tem suas qualidades jim e mais criativo e enquanto mick e velocitas e especificamente ele e o cara mais foda que existe mais o ambos em si sao combinação perfeita 👺👺
remember that there will always 2 type of guitar players,lead guitar,and rhythm guitar,especially in a band,and music in general sense is not a competition,is just something amazing to create it and enjoy it aswell.
I like them when they are alone in a video, but the magic is on stage, the little breaks and pauzes add so much to the existing parts they are supposed to play.
No, no, no.... no versus between these two men, these musical brothers. Jim is the heart whereas Mick is the anger. Would be no Slipknot without the both of them together in this beautiful collabo of madness.
No hay que compararlos, sólo disfrutar... Pero la muestra de que no se comparan es en psychosocial y Vermillion, el sólo de Jim en psychosocial en vivo suena mucho mejor que la parte de Mick y en cambio Mick en Vermillion saca su lado espectacular, pero no sería nada sin la rítmica de Jim o me lo negarán que a nadie le gusta la parte final de Vermillion con Jim haciendo rítmica y Mick haciendo el tremolo con la púa,en fin Jim gana por la máscara jajajaja y cómo queda con su barba
They both have different playstyles with mick being technical and jim plays better shreds which makes an awesome duo but in the end they are both amazing fucking guitarists
It's difficult cause I like The melodic way from Root, and The technical way from Thompson, I think both are amazing Español: Es muy difícil porque me gusta el estilo melódico de Root, y la forma tan técnica de Thompson, yo digo que los 2 son asombrosos
A lot of arguments about who’s what guitarist. I watched an interview and they both alternate so who ever comes up with main riff the other adds to it and go from there there’s no set pattern with them both. That’s why there both incredible guitarist.

Nah man, you're crazy. Mim Thoot is way better.
We can all agree Jeff handlebar is the best guitarist ever tho
bigbogboi loooool
Jim for melodic and Mick for heavy breakdowns
Yeah lead vs rhythm
sami sbahi in Slipknot there’s no lead or rhythm. Mick and Jim play both parts. So both lead and rhythm
Dylan Bryte that's the big difference
@@clipsvariados46_xt17 Even in solos you can hear that jim thinks about the melody and tries not to everdo it whereas mick just shreds
AMEN
Jim is the elegant player, Mick is raw and does more the heavier riffs.
Actually both play the heavier riffs
They balance eachother out. Like Yin and Yang
Mick: Brutal Riffs
Jim: Beautiful and fast Solos
weird because mick is the lead guitar and jim is the rythym guitar
@@JupiterKnight sometimes they switch position
I think mick is better 🎸
@@JupiterKnight Most of the solos are played by Jim

Excellent combination!!!
BOTH are an amazing live.
However, I'm more partial to Mick's style of playing
Seth Frazer but mick is actually the lead guitarist :/
Adam Mackey I don’t think so. The majority of the guitar solos in Slipknot’s music come from Jim. Although they do occasionally alternate
Seth Frazer I personally agree but google says Jim is rythym guitarist,I don't get it myself
I think they mix the leads and rhythms beetween each other
Adam Mackey They don’t have a specific lead or rhythm guitarist both do both of the parts.
They're both talented and amazing. Theyre in the same band. Who cares.
I think in the end is great to have both this guitar player on the same band. The winners are us the fans
Absolutely, we're lucky to get a chance to witness them shred in a same band.
They are such different guitarists they literally compliment each other's strengths and weaknesses. I love them both
Mick:very fast picking and shred,more technical like deathmetal
Jim:slow and calm,but the shred have a more definitive tehnicques more melodic

He don't use a wah
Nightwing Shadow95 He does, just listen to Vermilion or pulse of the maggots or sic live, he uses too much wah
Nightwing Shadow95 PSYCHOSOCIAL LIVE!!!!?!?!??!!????
@@ares2380 to be fair vermilion as it is has a lot of wah. Perfect amount
I’d venture to say I think Jim understands theory more. It shows in his diversity of playing.

I can’t pick which I like more I like them both at the same time they are two of my favorite guitar players
Jims solos sound so damn nice to my ears. great duo, up there with Murray and Smith for different reasons.
Son dos guitarristas muy diferentes, no pueden decir que Jim es mejor que Mick porque simplemente son muy distintos tocando. Mick es un guitarrista muy académico y sus solos en varias ocasiones son mucho mas dificiles que los de Jim. Jim por otro lado es un guitarrista empírico pero le dan mas protagonismo porque toca cosas bastante innovadoras para el genero.
Ambos son increíbles guitarristas, no creo que sea bueno compararlos, solo disfrutar todo lo que brindan.
FabruT yo escojo a Mick para tocar las partes heavys y todo eso y Jim para tocar la parte melódica
Un amigo una vez intento tocar un solo de Mick y es muy complicado casi se quiebra la mano
Jim uses more of a neo- classical type tonality with some of his solos with his scale and note choices, which I like, but they're both sick players that have slightly different approaches that complement each other and gives the band it's own sound imo. Josh was great too on that first album as far as riffs are concerned.
These two are so good that i can't imagine if they were in the same band playing together!
Mick has more speed, Jim has more feel.

Jim Root es un genio, además tiene una versatilidad tremenda, desde riffs y solos pesados como lo hace en Slipknot, hasta lo que hizo en Stone Sour, mucho más melódico
Pero Mick es mas pesado mas tipo death metal
Big Jim root fan, but not taking anything away from Mick. They are both amazing guitarists.
Jim is the most unique metal guitarist and writer imo. You can feel it when Jim is playing.
I Love how they both play, separate and together. Preferably though, I'm more partial to the way Jim plays
Depends on what kind of solos you prefer. If you want melodic, then you prefer Jim. If you want aggressive, Eddie Van Halen-type playing (sound effects and a lot more heavy riffs), then you prefer Mick. Both are amazing players.
Jim. Is more. Soul and mick. Is. More in your face aggressive
Es difícil decir quién es mejor, ambos son buenos guitarristas con diferentes estilos juntos suenan increíbles.
Mick is my favorite out of all of them in the band, and definitely in the top 5 guitarists for me
I love that the gematria playthrough is on here, because it such an insanely technical song to play, and its the only video that exists of any of the band members playing it. Theyve never played it live.

Fuck off
Mick
Both 😂
That technique to have all the likes for the person you prefer.... Pathetic
Both are awesome, just different roles :
Mick do rhythm
Jim do lead
In my opinion, mick is heavy specialist and jim is melodic specialist.

+Austin Thomas Thanks
Mick plays a lot more heavy but Jim is more calm and creative. Jim is the best
What a maniac will say that mick is better that jim? p.s. Jim is GENIUS!
Alex me i will micks better
To say either is "better" is kind of stupid in itself. I say Neither. They're both amazing.
Absolutely
Mick is way better
The truth is they are equally as good with their own strengths and weaknesses

I like both but I always go with Jim because he is my favorite and I even have his mask of the All Hope is gone design

No, it proves he’s a bit more diverse. Neither is better, they’re both different.
Can't choose their both really good. Despite some of the albums.
