@Rob How tall looks Matt Heafy next to Root? He is very tall for a japanese descendant. He is taller than Corey Beaulieu who looks 6'0-6'1 according his proportions.

I do think 6’5.75 would be more accurate, he looks more in 197cm range, anyway he is a huge guy thats for sure

Wow! Guys, i find amazing picture Mick Thomson and David DeGea (who's legit 189-190 cm) and ... yep, Jim is right 100% - he's about 6'2 with boots on/ 184-185 cm off, i think: Click Here.

I do think he could be a legit 6’6. Surely clears 6’5 with ease.

Mick Thompson looks taller than 6'2" even without boots. I don't know why Root's downgrading Mick's height.

Hey Rob, could you look into Corey Taylor. He's the lead singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour. He's a "must be" on this website imho. Thanks

It is Mick Thomson, no P.
Anyways, I've met Jim, and the rest of the band, countless times. He does slouch a lot to the point where he loses inches off his height, but fully upright, he would easily be 6'6" in socks. You cannot tell from videos, photos etc. He is almost a foot taller than Corey, who is genuinely 5'7".
Mick is in-between 6'2" and 6'3" but closer to the 6'3" mark. He is built like a mofo so that adds to his overall presence.
Other than those 2, only Chris is above 6', he is probably 6'1" though. He is another who was always slightly hunched when hanging around. Paul a shade under 6'. Looked more than an inch shorter than Chris. Joey is 5'2" MAXIMUM and is the shortest in the band by 4 inches behind Craig.
So in summary, my guestimations when standing upright, in socks:
Jim- 6' 6"
Mick- 6' 2.75"
Chris- 6' 1"
Paul RIP- 5' 11.75"
Sid- 5' 10"
Shawn- 5' 9"
Corey- 5' 7"
Craig- 5' 6"
Joey- 5' 2" .

I see this has already been asked, but before I read the previous requests I was going to ask if you could add 5'7 Corey Taylor. Dude has such a great voice imo.

Who is the shortest guy in slipknot?
Joey - 160.
Corey - 170. I say 168. Just saw an interview where he stands side by side with Lars Urlich. They were practically of the same height.
Craig - 170.
Clown is said to be 178. I'd give'em 173. Probably he was 175 in his mid 30-s. But still he looks pretty massive.
Sid - 180.
Paul - 182.
Chris - 184.
Mick - 186-187.
James - 198. Well, I heard he actually 200 sharp. But who knows...

Why does Mick look like such a freaking giant next to Corey in the Dead Memories video? Corey is chest high to Mick. I realize Corey is 5'7" and small in stature, but Mick is a giant, not only height-wise, but in the size of his head, arms, everything. Mick seems more like his name, Seven. 7' at least. What gives?

It's blatantly down to the camera work. Thomson has been blown up.

In some pictures Mick looks close in height with James but it could be the footwear. 6'6 for Root seems right.

I'm mean yea 5'8-5'9 is also reasonable but 5'7 is just too small for him, I would say 5'10 for Corey.

Read at several sources that mick is 6'2", though not with boots on. That would mean hes 6' without them. I wonder if the 6'6" listing for James is with boots.
