#Andertons #CaptainMeets #Slipknot
This is the first interview that I have seen of Mick without either having his mask on or having sunglasses on. Crazy.
Yet he still continues to be intimidating as fuck
Only with Andersons!
Literally what I was about to comment!
@@hudsonpoll1279
Khhtvivgu
He's wearing a mask that makes him look ordinary! :-O
Mick Thomson interviewed without his mask or sunglasses on, holy shit.
and i saw it with my own eyes never believed it would happen one day.... but as we see :D
I been waiting for this since i was 13
ikr
I know he might knows that this guy would give nice warm interview.
@@DamageJackyl your comment cracked me up lol. Now I can't get an imagine of mick on his back looking at you like a cat
jim root: ya know
Mick Thompson: *fuckin*
This comment made me laugh more than I expected 🤣👌
*His voice has got more bass than the entire* Metallica *discography.*
Sad but true
Actually true since Metallica barely mixed bass in their albums anyways
And Justice for All? More like “And No Bass At All”😂
Probably because Lars Ulrich wasn’t allowed in the delivery room when Mick’s mum gave birth!
He sounds like Phil anselmos daughter
Captain Lee MUST now meet Jim Root..
MAKE IT HAPPEN!
For real Jim is just as much if a gearhead as Mick
Suggested the same thing. I'm not a slipknot fan, but I admire these guys and Jim Root is both a tremendous palyer and really cool at interviews.
@Kefla lmao, Jim's famous line.
Ya know
googgogo
Mick seems like an intelligent and well-spoken guy. He's also large and intimidating. I wouldn't piss him off
Accurate assumption.
@@piggerGg Idk he's lost a lot of weight now
We all know that his brother found that out..
Neither would I, that would be a bad idea.
He's actually really eloquent. I stand by Mick being the most underrated musician in the band.
Jim Root just did an in depth interview as well, Not with Anderton's, they both are not what you would expect. Amazing interviews with both of them.
I was also really impressed with his technical knowledge...he's a gear geek just like Lee!
eloquent? he talks like a 15 year old. the manners, the curse words, short, simple sentences and simple words. Maybe you have a different standard but this is just a regular guy talking. nothing noteworthy. he talks fast and consistent without interruptions though, maybe that's what you meant?
@@hazardeur I suppose I do, man :). I love his analogies and honesty. To me, Mick points out what matters in his own way. George Carlin once said he curses because it's the spice in his stew. I tend to agree.
@@hazardeur you're just mad that nobody likes your music and everyone likes Mick...
Admit, that he knows about hardware and guitar construction, and can express why he made them the way he did.....and that he collaborated to make some amazing instruments.
“The showers all pube’d up” -Mick Thomson
Keep that in mind. Haha
A quote for the ages
And he said nice.
Poetic
@@pedropessoa2246 Spellcheck 🙄
Goddamned, this was the best interview you guys have ever done. He was so engaged with everything, first time I saw him acting like that. It seems that he already knew who you guys are and really wanted to be there.
This was a superb interview I’m speechless 😶 Captain did a great job there
Mick is a gear dork so i wouldnt be surprised if he has watched some andertons videos
@Thefuzz BoxMX its not that he has mellowed he is friendly unless you give him a reason not to be
The Captain did his research and knew how to keep Mick engaged. This is the first interview I've not seen Mick get bored with.
Sad I was only the 665th like smh so close
Mick Thompson during the IOWA era: “F*CK YOU! MOVE!”
Mick Thompson on current times: A very chill and wholesome dude
I literally try to find the video, where he says that.
ONLY for that Line. :,)
I'm not sure if this is the video you're talking about, but at the end, he screams "FUCK YOU." ua-cam.com/video/92lS4c1janw/v-deo.html
@@SunnyTheRic If you haven’t found it yet, it’s their performance at Sonic Sphere Japan, during the Iowa tour (2002)
*Gets stabbed*
Mick: Tis' but a scratch...
@@SunnyTheRic Wait. Why you said literally if this sentence cannot have a figurative meaning?
I'm not even a metal guy but when someone is so passionate about his craft and his gear, music genre goes out the window. Awesome interview!
Chris Hepburn the mask activates the Metal protocol
These speech between angle and god.
When the least metal guy meets the most metal guy.
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!
Today I lost my partner who passed away this morning. He loved this channel and always here for more inspirations. I want to share his passion for music so here I am.
Chickpea Viner Sorry for your loss. Crush it in his honor
XxSadalmelikxX thank you, it’s only been less than 72 hours. It feels like 72 years. Hoping anything he enjoyed will help me pull through so he can live through me.
Sorry for your loss and I hope you find happiness. I've been there. It's terrible but I promise it gets better. xx
Dan thanks, I just feel like a zombie searching anywhere hoping to see his presence. Any music he enjoyed sound painful but healing at the same time. Hope you got throng your pain and walked out from the other side of the tunnel. X
Y C I’m so sorry for your loss. Stay strong❤️
Could we source a smaller sofa for the next interview. I want to see the cap conduct an insightful interview sat on someone's lap.
Phillip Schofield has got the copyright on that style of interview
Welll, casting couch isnt big :):) mick looks cofortable in the casting couch:)
@@nibbnibb1899the casting couch is bigger, its a 3 seater but this is a 2 seater. Maybe they should borrow it?
🤣🤣
lololol
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 wonder if he did take it for a test drive. I would have loved to see that part!
Mick Thomson is the man... humble, down to earth, and enthusiastic about music. Love the dude
And a smokin’ hot wife too!!
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
or Craig
@@pollyastarta Craig will happen when nuclear war happens.
Craig needs a documentary for himself. A black and white montage of satanic imagery, static and white noise.
V Man has a great interview on the Downbeat podcast about the whole experience
Even though I know nothing about DJing I’d love for Sid to do a 40 minute or so rig run down interview.
Take a drink after every time Mick says something that wouldn’t fly on any other Anderton’s video.
What has my liver ever done to hurt you?
Take 2 every time the captain does the same
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
I could listen to his voice all day long. So deep
PedroAk jr He should try and sing some Type O songs :P Definitely needs to do some narrating or do a voice for a character.
I have a deep voice like that...girls listen to it on voice message and think is sexy
Agreed
Fuck yes I could listen to him forever.
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.
God farted
Dude Mick is chilllllll AF.
At the beginning Mick was looking at him like...bro be careful with my guitar or I'm gonna kick your ass.
i like how in most of his sentences he says “and f*cking, and f*cking, and f*cking”
Relatable lol
I love it too, believe me.
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.
Same here guy has me hooked so my jackson is being delivered. Anytime i have a lull in practicing im just going to use mick as inspiration
@@tricky2385 Hell yeah dude. Enjoy that awesome guitar!
Thanks man probably not a starter guitar but couldn't resist good luck with your learning too man 🤟
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.
@@tricky2385 Based on this comment I assume you bought one of his guitars?
I wish Mick would do a side project... it would be brutal!
Pretty sure he has no reason to , Slipknot is his everything and you can tell.
@@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
W/ Jasta on Vox? 👀
Mick does have a side project. He is a part-time serial killer, a damn good one at that.
Everyone : Finally mick is fully unmasked...
His Hat : Hold my Beer..
The only person in history to see him with out any accessories on his head is his wife
Mick is an absolute beast on stage, yet offstage he's so chill and down to earth
Mick's voice is sooooo warm.
I need that guitar!
No
@@aceofspades3964 yes
@@vaggknot yes
I need that couch!
I bought that guitar. It's amazing
Never seen mick this eager to talk before lol. You can tell he is enjoying this interview.
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.
There's one filmed In black and white called behind the 9 I think. My personal favorite mick interview
Get him to talk about guitars. He'll never stop talking.
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.
Always appreciate mick and Jim as guitarists and there different styles of equipment . So underrated . Great interview
they got titled best metal guitarists I believe
Sure did
That opening guitar riff to "SURFACING" - Hands down, most original riff of the past 30 years and then some.
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!!!👍👍👍
Kevin Frasard hello Mr I Can Gallop In 240 BPM :)
Nice seeing you here, love your content.
Hubert Pomykała hello mr. I can downpick 270 bpm
Blown away. I've never seen Mick....not pissed or mad. He looked calm, happy, smiling, laughing and super energetic when talking about guitars. Wow
People have standards to be pissed he's very misunderstood
Cap looks like he's worried about his safety 🤣
I would be too!
Clown is probably off screen looking through a door freaking him out 😂
@@mitchconner2021 somehow this seems legit tbh😎🤘
Hahaha micks the nicest guy. But hes a suprisingly big dude. Like 6'4 6'6.
@@tylerdees4850 he’s about 6’3 possibly 6’4 jim root is 6,6 tho he’s the tallest in the group and mick is the second
I don't know much about guitars, but I could definitely sit down with Jim and Mick and listen to them talk passionately about guitars for hour!!
Never thought i would see Lee and Mick on a casting couch together..
Leo A lmao it was unusually close seating, wasn’t it
He sounds and talks exactly how I thought he would sound. Even sitting down Mick is so imposing and massive.
Great guy and so down to earth!
"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.
So by stretching the shit out them means tunning it very high and let it sit? And afterwards tune it to the preferred pitch?
@@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.
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
Go for it dude
Oh shit, never in a million years would I have thought he'd be on here.
What I adore about Mick is he stays the same as he looks and shape since Iowa until now..
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.
„I want to crack your ribs, not shake your feelings with”
Classic Mick.
I love this interview, Mick's voice is pure ASMR!! LOL
I opened this video thinking, “oh cool, i’ll watch like 10 minutes”. Ended up watching the entire thing it was so good. Fuck yeah🤘
I'm not a Slipknot fan, but I am now a fan of Mick. His passion for his instruments is great to hear.
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.
After 20 years, I get to see Mick’s Eyes . Amazing 👀
Yeah, he has beautiful blue eyes.
Mick is a baaaaaaadass 🤘🏾! His voice would be great narratoring a book.
I would absolutely love to hear that.
Holy shit. He's got the voice to match his size and his mask.
No doubt, he would make a great DJ.
Or a voice over for an axe murderer. LOL!!!
Mick has always been my favorite one in the band. He is always super humble and down to earth with his interviews.
"The Captain meets Mick Thompson"
*WARNING EXPLICIT LANGUAGE*
Me: "Is this actually a surprise to anyone?"
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 😂
your comment isn't surprising either...
They should have censored it with miku sounds.
Mick is so under rated. His voice is lovely to listen to. Awesome interview
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.
I had no idea that he was such a cool down-to-earth guy. Really genuine. Love to see it
Forearm hair: am I a joke to you?
What I’d give to have Mick as my guitar teacher man😪
You’d give your left 🥜
To the slipknot fans that say slipknot was not influenced by death metal needs to watch this interview!!! Love you mick!!!!
I Love his Talking Voice!
If I met Mick I would cry tears of joy
Me too ya don't meet many people who are straight forward and it's saf
So would I.
Mick is the only one in Slipknot that looks like a proper old school metalhead
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!
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.
“You know” kinda rubbed off on Mick from Jim
I feel like everyone says that tho
Yanowadimean
He ‘know’ how to talk 😉
They all do that. Iowa thing?
It's a midwest thing
Seeing the patches for "SPIT", "Surfacing" & "EYELESS Gave me goosebumps lol
Mick genuinely had a great time during this interview.
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.
Micks voice has always been soothing even for a mountain of a man
Mick is so humble and was a huge inspiration for me growing up playing guitar.
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 is such an engaging and interesting talker.
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”
I was wondering if he dropped Rivera....
The tone on "WAYNK" is nasty!!!!
@@sydIRISH fact my dude 🙌
Whooo. Mick without sunglasses.
Ehhuummm what, Mick doesn't wear his shades
England is gloomy enough as it is
he grew more healthy than previous albums. more happier to be honest
He figured out of the brim is in front he disnt need them 🤣🤣🤣
This might be my favorite Slipknot interview ever. I’ve never seen Mick unmasked with no glasses and engaging.
Didn’t expect this one 😂
Love the way Mick has mellowed through the years
So deep voice...
HOLY SHIT
Could you imagine a death metal band in 94 with just Mick and Paul and a drum machine 🥰🥰🥰
these interviews with these legends are so therapeutic! Mayer and Jim Root next please!
Thomson and Root are BOTH F$&%ING BEASTS. Insanely great guitar work.
Even the way he sits on the couch, scares the shit out of me.
That’s not a couch. That’s a really big chair (for Mick)
He is so damn chill omg
Superb, great work Team Andertons. Mick rocks!
He seems so cool as a person.
Im not a slipknot fan but he seems really cool and down to earth. One of the best interviews Ive seen here as well.
i have been waiting for this interview for 15 years (while listen Slipknot) to see Mick without mask or glasses. It’s awesome! Guys, thank you!
If you turn this on and don’t watch the screen, it sounds like Stewie Griffin interviewing John Goodman
holy shit that voice
Omg I’ve never heard so much swearing in a Anderson’s video holy shit at 4:40 omg this video has now gotta be my favourite Anderson’s video
That's what I thought too 🤣
@Mark Seymour okay boomer
Sid R. Ok boomer is dead
He’s just a mad down to earth dude he just loves what he does
Such a humble man! And frightening when he changes clothes and turns to 7
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.
7, but plays on a 6 strings. Ironic
Mick is such a great guy! Sick interview! Keep up the good work! Love from Taiwan 🇹🇼
What an amazing guy, a true monster of a guitarist.
Best Mick interview EVER! Oh, and to Mike, I can tell your in your "element" backstage. You were waaaay more comfortable than you were with "Stay Metal Ray. Great job!
What an awesome interview. Mick is such a gear nerd and I love that.
I have a whole new respect for Mick and appreciation he sounds like a cool guy too he's like drink some beers and stuff talk about life like honestly he's a lot nicer than people think he is
