Slipknot Jim Root CUSTOM GUITAR The Go Homeacaster

Slipknot guitarist Jim Root almost took his guitar and went back home during the middle of a European Tour in support of Vol 3, even going so far as to write down the cost of airfare on the back of a Telecaster which he gave a special nick-name:
"There were times I wanted to pull my credit card out and book myself a flight home. When we were in Europe, I called up the airline and priced out a one-way flight from Paris to Des Moines. All I had to do was give them my credit card number. And I just couldn't do it. I had to see it through. And then the next day I took one of my custom Fenders and started writing all over it with a Sharpie. I wrote down the airfare from France to Des Moines. And I wrote "The Go-Homeacaster" on it and "F*** this," "F*** this band," and "F*** all these a**holes." But I finally realized that all the guys in the band were there for me, I just didn't see it. So over the next couple years, I started to clean my act up slowly but surely, and it took me until Ozzfest 2004 to figure it out." - Root, Slipknot Look Back on Torment and Tumult... text Jon Wiederhorn, Revolver (Sep 26, 2008)
