“Dude, come on!”: Tetrarch’s Diamond Rowe claims Slipknot’s Jim Root once asked her for guitar lessons
As one of the most promising nu metal bands in the scene right now, Atlanta four-piece Tetrarch have deservedly caught the attention of some of the genre’s biggest names.
Seriously, listen to the likes of I’m Not Right and Freak and you’ll see why…

To date, the band have released three studio albums – the latest being The Ugly Side of Me, which landed in May this year – and supported such heavyweights as Avenged Sevenfold, Seether and Alter Bridge.
But for guitarist Diamond Rowe, her most treasured endorsement will no doubt be the time Slipknot’s Jim Root asked her for guitar lessons.
In a new interview with Stereoboard, Rowe recalls the time she received a DM from the Iowa outfit’s #4.
“I got messaged by Jim Root and he was like, ‘Dude, you need to give me guitar lessons!’ I was like, ‘OK, dude, come on!’ I was like, ‘How about we exchange guitar lessons?’”
Even for a guitarist as decorated as Jim Root, Diamond Rowe’s signature glitchy DigiTech Whammy-flavoured leads clearly proved too alluring not to try and add to his toolbelt.
Elsewhere in the interview, Rowe speaks about her and her bandmates’ ambition for the future, despite their success so far.
“When we were just 11, we were like, ‘We want to be one of the biggest bands in our genre,’” she says. “I don’t want to sit around and celebrate our new album for too long, because there’s still a lot to do. We want to play bigger shows and bigger tours and become a household name, and do this until we can’t do this anymore.”
Listen to the lead single, Never Again (Parasite), from their new album below:
