Jim Root , guitarist for Slipknot , revealed his love for pop music and Ariana Grande.
In an interview, Root said: “I love pop music, not necessarily modern pop music. But I was introduced to Britpop, kind of late, after the style had blossomed and taken off… When we started touring, we were constantly playing shows in record stores. They would let us pick up CDs after the shows,” he recounted.
"That's how I started discovering Björk and Portishead , then Radiohead, Blur and Oasis . That kind of pop music."
He also said he was "tired" of modern pop music, but that he likes Ariana Grande's "great" music.
“One of the girls in our management team was listening to Ariana Grande, and I didn’t know what it was. I asked, ‘What is this? It’s great! It has a vibe, you know?’ She told me what it was, and I was quite impressed.”
