Band previous to Slipknot?: Atomic Opera and Dead Front.
First record bought?: 'Shout At The Devil' by Mötley Crüe, 'Ride The Lightning' by Metallica and 'Surf Punks' by the Surf Punks all at the same time.
First band seen live?: My parents took me to concerts when I was really young and I think the first one was Aerosmith.
Describe yourself in three words: Big, dumb and silly (laughs).
What does your mask represent?: It's a kind of gestures mask, as I see myself as a lever to try to relieve stress. When Sid and Clown are going at each other I will get inbetween them, so it will give them someone else to go after.
Was the visual image your idea?: Yes.
Special Ingredient you bring to the band?: I bring a little bit of comic relief.

Have you ever experimented with auto eroticism?: Does holding your breath count? I find myself holding my breath during sex, not just when I am masturbating.
Tell me your favorite sexual fantasy involving Salvador Dali, an orange, and a bicycle?: We'd have to get some rubber pants, 20 feet of flex hose, some thumbtacks, Vaseline, a couple of quarts of mayonnaise, some tissues and then we could get going.
What would be the concept for a Slipknot porno movie?: It would be a girl/girl tied up with knives and rusty walls. It would have to be an encounter where you are not just doing it to get off with your genitals, but getting off more mentally.
Hobbies outside the band?: I like to build model airplanes and model cars. I also like is fish and play video games.
Fave horror movie?: Motel Hell, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. When I was young Amityville Horror really scared me but supernatural things freak me out more.
Fave author?: I have read stuff by John Grisham which is really cool but I also like Dean Koontz, but overall I prefer to read books about energy, like the (incomplete)
Who do you think is the most heavy metal band of all time?: (incomplete)
Band you'd like to tour with?: Pantera, because we met a couple of the guys recently and they were really cool. They gave us some respect which meant a lot.
Is there any band you would leave Slipknot for if they asked you to?: Never!
Worst way to die?: Drowning.
If your house was burning down. What is the one thing you would run in and save?: My dogs. My mom's house did burn down, and I wasn't there and lost two rottweiler dogs — Ara and Rexy

im curious and you seem to be in the loop of things, does our gorgeous lion have a gf? i know he broke things off with kissa (any idea why btw?) but highkey jealous if he does 😩 love your fics and acc! <33
much love!
Hey Anon, thanks for the ask!
Sooooo… I do know he’s been seeing this girl named Skyler (skyordye on IG, private account though) who is a hairstylist and lives in Florida. I haven’t seen her in any recent tour photos (maybe I’m just not looking in the right places?) but I’m assuming they’re still together? I believe they’ve been together for a few years now.
Now, Kissa… 😣🤮 So, from what I’ve heard, she’s a narcissist. She’s really controlling and would put Jim down and contribute towards his low self esteem and insecurities. Which is awful in my opinion. I guess they would fight constantly and there were a few incidents where he told her to leave either the show or the tour and go home. I guess she would also get into arguments with the other members and/or their wives/girlfriends. People didn’t seem to like her much.
During the Covid lockdown, I guess Jim had gotten so anxious that he ended up getting back together with her but eventually down the road I heard he ended up cheating on her with Skyler and that’s what ended their relationship permanently. Kissa would also troll fans online and supposedly would go on Jim’s IG account and block people. Idk if that’s true or not so don’t quote me.
From what I’m aware, he and Skyler are still together but again, I’m not one hundred percent sure. And I agree with you, totally high key jealous.
Thanks for all the love and for the ask! 💕
