Update (5:45PM ET): This story has been amended with a statement from Stone Sour confirming that Jim Root is in fact no longer in the band.
Earlier this year, guitarist Jim Root sat out Stone Sour's tour with the reason given that he was concentrating his efforts on writing music for Slipknot's next album. However, now the band has announced that it has parted ways with Root.
Before Stone Sour rocked Tricky Falls last night, Corey Taylor went comic book shopping with the grand prize winner of our comic book quiz, Carlos. Taylor shared his comic book knowledge, spent some money and showed off his Bane impression.
Stone Sour are a band that respects their roots, and they've been very good about paying homage to their metal forefathers over the years. The latest instance of this has come on the band's winter 2014 tour, where Corey Taylor and his cohorts have been breaking out a cover of Metallica's 'Creeping Death.'
This morning on the KLAQ Morning Show, we gave away tickets for the Stone Sour concert at Tricky Falls, to the lucky winners of our comic book quiz. One guy couldn't get through on the phone lines, so he decided to run over to the studio from the Sun Bowl.
This incredibly interesting band will be rocking Tricky Falls with Stone Sour and Pop Evil on February 11th. Haven't heard of Stolen Babies? Well have a listen!
