In 2014, guitarist Jim Root was kicked out of Stone Sour. While an exact reason was never given, the decision came after he decided not to participate in the group’s tour in order to work on a Slipknot album.
Stone Sour will release 'Meanwhile in Burbank…', a five-song EP featuring cover songs from Black Sabbath, Metallica, KISS, Judas Priest and Alice in Chains.
Corey Taylor reveals in a new interview that after having time to reflect, he feels Jim Root's exit from Stone Sour was the right decision for everyone.
