  • Who's the guitar player? Still around playing and recording?

  • @bobworthinton - the on camera guitarist is wayne 'twenty fingers' tomlinson (of the barbeque juiceheads), finger syncing perfectly to ernie 'sexray' lancaster's brilliant haunting solo. both are still around and playing.

  • I've been looking EVERYWHERE for Root's World War III. I would LOVE to find the song but even the lyrics are not around it seems. If ANYONE can help PLEASE DO....

  • You're in luck my friend! We're working on a World War III music video (with footage of Slim in the studio when he recorded it way back in '78) to coincide with a special collector's edition CD release of ZOOM which has been remastered from the original master and sounds fantastic! Details will be posted on the rootboyslim website soon and if you sign up on the root loop email list you'll be the first to hear when it will be available. db

  • Not my fave-style, but it's good to see him (not lookin' good)___is there more ?

  • I filmed this in '92 when George the 1st was running against Clinton. Slim is spinning in his grave now that George the worst is running the country into the ground. Yes, there's more... stay tuned!

  • I remember Root Boy Slim...an icon with a fantastic who's who of musicans and artist surrounding. Good old days. Thanks for posting. I remember when I did my own Root Boy Slim t-shirt before any were available..

  • @OldJoeCurwen I like his voice he sounds like a cross between doctor john and bb king

  • @Garzog what root is doing with this video is very good a republican comitteman named ralph degenaro said homeless people are all mentaly ill leave them there then he stole my towel from the locker room stole a womans hair dryer that he seduced when she was married with 2 kids and ruined her marriage If i was him id be liveing in antartica with a bullet proof vest around my face her husband might be looking for him real low class italian trash .

  • Always liked his song, "Left for Dead." 

  • Dont ever dis the Root! We served together in a secret combat team in Canada.

  • Wow! Had no idea he had died .I knew he was around a couple years back. Back at the end of the 70's my friends and I were laughing our asses off to this guy. Dare To Be Fat was a fave and who coild forget Boogie Till You Puke. Hope he shakes hands with Screamin Jay Hawkins in the afterworld
