Mask: Actually, more than one mask. James was forced into wearing a stiffling bondage hood when he joined the group to tame him. This same exact type of hood was worn by the member he replaced, Josh. However when Slipknot played, sweat would be trapped inside the mask so he made a Jester- like mask to reflect on his Jester- like personality. It has a zipper for a mouth and a gotee-horn on the chin. It is smelly and disgusting, and he claims that everyone gets pissed at him because the mask stinks up the whole house.James has had a few of the 'jester' masks, a silver one and now he wears one with less paint than the others.

Quote: "The guys chose this mask to tame me. Joining this band takes a little getting used to. I was a timid guy before I joined them. Now I'm a freak! Am I as borderline psychotic as the rest? Ask me in a month!"

Some of Jim's favorite albums are Master of Puppets - by Metallica, Master of Reality - by Black Sabbath, Blood Sugar Sex Magik - by Red Hot Chili Peppers, Ok Computer - by RadioHead and St. Anger - by Metallica
