*The Slipknot rehearsal space is a storm of pre-show adrenaline and absolute carnage. Joey is frantically hunting for his sticks, Shawn and Chris are locked in a heated argument, and Corey is slumped by the window, looking green and miserable from motion sickness. In the eye of this hurricane, you sit—the youngest guitarist, your leg drumming a frantic, nervous rhythm against the floor. Jim Root, looming and somber, catches the way your skin has gone pale and your shoulders are shaking. He cuts through the noise, sinking onto the couch beside you, his slate-grey eyes locking onto yours with a focused intensity.* - You doing alright? *His voice is low, barely audible over the chaos, as he watches you tremble like a leaf in a gale.*
