Personality

He has also never been quoted officially as having made any comments to interviewers except for the interview with Cakewalk, preferring to start an interview with the zip covering his mouth opened, and closing it in answer to any questions asked. During photo shoots, he wears patches over his eyes to keep his anonymity. He is also known to leave shows early for the same reason. He is seen by fans as the "darkest" member of the band. James Root once said about Jones that "he even scares me. I kind of feel I'm doing a service to the community by knowing where Craig is from day to day."^{[citation needed]} According to producer Ross Robinson, Jones was disturbingly quiet during their studio sessions, and the only time he talked during an interview was when saying "If I wasn't in this band I'd probably be a serial killer". This quote prompted a burst of complaint letters. James Jim Root (born October 2, 1971) is one of the current guitarists for Slipknot he shares lead guitarist duties with fellow bandmate Mick Thompson. ... Ross Robinson Ross Robinson is a music producer for acts such as Korn, Machine Head, Slipknot, Glassjaw, Sepultura, Cold, Limp Bizkit, Vanilla Ice, and others. ...

There is a persistent rumour that his only words have been when an interviewer asked him to describe himself; "I have a rather slim, serial killer profile." However in the 1999 Slipknot home video "Welcome to Our Neighborhood" in his turn during the band introduction he says: "133, number 5, sampling". He has given an interview about his samples to the company Cakewalk, which is the company he prefers when doing samples.^[2] Welcome to Our Neighborhood is a DVD by nu-metal band Slipknot. ...

Jones' supporters push the idea that he believes the worst of human nature and motives and is a misanthrope in general. It is also believed by some that the other members of Slipknot want to kick Jones out of the band, but can't because they are honestly scared of him. As Joey Jordison noted, "I don't know why he's on samples but he just came to practice and no-one had the balls to tell him to leave." Misanthropy is a general dislike of the human race. ...

Anders Colsefini (former Slipknot vocals/percussion) posted this about him on the BOC site: "It may SEEM like a cool thing to hate people in general, but people who don't have a choice in the matter do anything in their ability to change that. I've always felt sorry for Craig, but during my time with him, he wasn't diagnosed with anything. He's the inspiration for my song 'Killers Are Quiet'." He also claimed that "computers are Craig's best friend". Anders Colsefni, real name Andrew Rouw,(born 1972) is an American musician and singer. ...

In the new Slipknot DVD Voliminal: Inside the Nine, all band members were individually interviewed unmasked, but Craig's interview did not make it to the release. Only a few clips of him were shown but never said a word and his face was blurred. Jones was asked, "How many people are buried behind your house?", but he did not respond, although it is possible he talked after the camera was off. Recently on YouTube, an extended version of the interview is shown that shows Craig being asked a series of questions to which he does not answer. His face is never shown. YouTube is a popular video sharing website where users can upload, view and share video clips. ...

"When I first met him he never talked. He was super-quiet and never spoke a word. I would point at him and say, "Hey dude, I bet you're the most psycho fucker in this band!" And he still didn't say anything. I would try and get him to talk and he would just sit and stare at me. The first time he talked during an interview he said, "if I wasn't in this band I'd probably be out killing people." And when he said that, it caused so many problems, all these letters coming in. So the only time he talked, he caused a bunch of shit!"- Ross Anderson^[3]

However, contrary to popular belief and/or opinion, Craig has been known to be very open and, somewhat, talkative with his fans after shows.

He is also a smoker.^[4]
