Drink has been taken by my good self as per the suggestion. Excellent video Lee. I am in the market for a Charvel (I’m nostalgic) and will be in contact very soon my friend.
Oh how I wish that I were rich enough pretend to give a shit about tone wood. It's the placebo of the guitar world. I would surround myself with maple, ash, and rosewood and all of my water would have a tiny dose of CBD just in case that ends up being real. Jokes aside: Much respect to Mick Thomson for taking the time to give such detailed information about all of his guitars. It's really great to here successful musicians share their opinions even when I disagree with them.
Fuckin, fuckin, fuckin, fuckin, fuckin love that shit. Really sound guy, brings himself really well. As a person, speech & influences etc is oddly similar to dimebag
My favorite part of this interview was the very end when the camera cuts out and Mick says “No seriously though, take it for a test drive”. This man just loves guitars and wants other people to love guitars. Hell yeah.
I love hearing other members of Slipknot being interviewed. I love Corey but I wish more members would get interviewed about Slipknot and their perspectives. I'd love to hear how Sid feels 20 years in and maybe V Man talking about his experience
This is by far the best interview with him I've ever seen. Yet another testament to how great of an interviewer Lee is and why the "Captain Meets" interviews are so vastly Superior to Anyone else. Lee is the man!
@@metalheadblues Mick has a fuck ton of ear abuse to bring to the table... Slipknot is limited and thats what shows,.. especially when the creative concepts come from 9 minds,
@@R.Nashoba i doubt the creativity comes from them all, ofc they contribute to the songs but i honestly think its one or two People Who put the songs together and then they all put their touch on it, and put touch on it is far from taking a creative part in The whole songwriting
Top shelf interview. Mr Thomson was so engaging and so knowledgeable about every aspect of his guitars. Very barebones amp setup compared to my expectations. No stereo, no wet dry, no fuss. Cab in a box, a custom amp and a handful of pro pedals. All business.
I have watched a ton of Mick interviews and surprised you got to speak with him without his mask or glasses. At times he can be disinterested and hides behind his mask with short answers. This was the most verbose I have heard him be... congrats to you.
I'm sure that when you've been doing this for as long as Slipknot has, the questions you get asked during press tours becomes samey. And for each time he gets a repetitive question, the amount of syllables in his answer gets shorter. I have an unfounded feeling that very few of those questions are about the gear, especially to this detail, because it can be very dry to non-gearheads, so it's not often he gets to geek about how his stuff. And obviously you have El Capitan sitting next to him, visibly over the moon from getting to do this interview, as opposed to your average reporter with a stoic set of questions.
TheOtherGenesis agreed with what you are saying. Kudos to Lee to focus on the gear side and get him to open up. The highlight of the interview for me me is when Lee asked Mick about being a guitar maker and how he lit up. Thanks for the comment.
This is why I respect Mick Thomson so much and hes one of the reasons Im going to learn how to play the guitar. Not only hes a beast of a guitar player, but also very humble and doesnt try to act as a high ego wannabe rockstar on interviews. Also hes a tech nerd that knows about gear and cares about it whether the quality, the specs and the price so it can allow us to have an amazing guitar at lower prices. Not like those guitar players that choose a guitar to be their signature without knowing about the purpose of its specs, and put a ridiculous price just to make money. Damn Mick is so underrated. Really nice interview Andertons! Maybe interview James Root (Jim Root) next time since hes also an amazing player like Mick, humble and cares about his gear too.
Slipknot was one of the reasons I started playing in 2001, and Mick's Jackson from the wait and bleed video is why I bought a Jackson and have used them ever since.
Proud Texan you USA Texas, me Peru Lima, don’t be unfair with the other nations 🤣, some are toooo polite 🤣, get some sauce to your talkiiing peopleeeee 😂
It's really cool how Mick goes from being totally serious to being a cool, relaxed guy that talks about music and guitars like everybody else. He seems to be a tough guy, but in the deep he's a really cool dude.
"What I do is... I beat the shit out of my strings... just stretch the shit out of 'em. Then you lock them down and you've got your fine tuners". That is so refreshing to hear that from Mick. I've been playing Floyd Roses since the late 80's and it was a guy who roadied for GnR that told me that trick. Stretch and stretch and stretch again your new strings as you put them on. Then not only will you stay in tune (cos you do) you seldom break strings. Last string I broke was back in 1991. Not broken one single string since I started "stretching the shit out of 'em". But don't take my word for it. Listen to Mr Thomson.
@@DrumGuitarDude No. Tune to pitch and then stretch them like crazy so they will inevitably go flat. Then re-tune them back up to pitch. Repeat as many times as you've got the strength/patience for. But don't be gentle! Really yank them hard up off the fretboard around the highest fret/neck pickup area. It settles them in so once you have them in tune and you've locked the Floyd Rose they'll pretty much stay in tune. I was taught this by a guy who has often roadied for Slash and I haven't (touch wood) broken a string since the early 90's using this method. Not one single string.
I do the exact same thing. I figured it out through trial and error but man my Floyds stay in perfect tune no matter what and I haven’t broken a string in over a year. Hell I have strings on an Ibanez that haven’t been changed in a year or so out of laziness and it’s still in perfect tune.
This is such a great interview. Still watching it as I write this, Mick's extensive knowledge and passion for music really comes alive here. Super cool dude and one hell of a guitarist. Thank you so much captain and thank you Anderton's!!!👍👍👍
Mick and Jim honestly have some of the best signature stuff especially for metal players. Both of their guitars are made for them yet they don’t have crazy Slipknot symbols or anything. I love Jackson’s and I love Fenders so both Jim’s and Mick’s signatures are really cool. I want to own them all. Lol
Mick and The Captain seems to get along well. I've seen Mick interviewed by others and he seemed a little disengaged, but this was great, I guess he respected The Captains guitar knowledge.
This is hands down my favorite interview I've ever seen on the channel. I knew Mick's playing was incredibly refined and he focused on the details but somehow it never occurred to me that same attention to detail would go into his gear. I would love to see him back on the channel sometime.
Seems like a really nice dude who enjoys playing guitar, just like the rest of us. Enjoyed what he said about how you don't have to sound like who inspired you to be inspired by an artist.
I find that interesting man, how their stage personas have maintained a raw, almost savage quality, but the members of the band have kinda moved past a lot of the youthful chaos in their personal lives.
Met Mick a couple times when they first came out in 99' and he hasn't changed a bit. Great guy, super serious, he's just a good dude and a big metal head.
I really like that this isn't only a great interview with mick, but also with his technician. Doesnt feel like any pre written question, just like a nice conversion, awesome!
I respect Mick's standpoint about the revision of great 'fests', it opens up a kid's mind and if he plays guitar, he will be at the right place and right time - rocking on.
Sitting here with my Jackson SL2 Mick Thomson guitar. This Video was so nice an Mick is an awesome guitarplayer. thanks to Andertons for this awesome video
Mick Thomson is by far the most underrated guitarist in metal. His knowledge about what he does is beyond most other musicians. It's a shame that he doesn't put himself out there more so people see just how dedicated he is.
EDIT: The latest album “We Are Not Your Kind” was recorded with the OMEGA AMPWORKS Obsidian. The album “Chapter 5” is what he was referring to when he was discussing using the Rivera on “the last album”

Love the way Mick has mellowed through the years
Mick and Jim shared the same "You know" Haha
Hendrix, Clapton, Beck, Winters....wow! The fact he’s acknowledging these guys is awesome!
I can only imagine that Mick knows & likes Anderton's stuff. Might be the best interview Ive seen him do, though I havent seen em all either
He seems so cool as a person.
What an awesome interview. Mick is such a gear nerd and I love that.
All those years ago when slipknot came onto the scene who’d have thought that their two guitarists were such chill, knowledgable and likeable dudes.
