- For more gear reviews and videos check out guitarworld.com In this video Slipknot's Mick Thompson talks about his signature amplifier, the KR7 from Rivera amplification.
I could listen to this dude all day long. His intelligence about his gear and tone and how he describes it all is something that I find so fascinating.
+JohnnyMrHattersmith im more a blues experimental kinda player, but slipknot both Mick and jim are some of my fav guitar players ever. They know their craft well
Easily one of the most underrated guitarists in metal. The man is fucking insane.
He is nothing compared for eg. Nergal, Peter, and King,
Demost is that a fact?
Yup
Demost Damn. And here I thought I was entitled to an opinion. Stupid me.
Yes, you're dumb xD
Things you cannot see:
1. Air
2. Someone's thoughts
3. Ghosts
4. *Mick without he's glasses or mask*
His*. But your comment is still pretty funny
5. California without Marlon Brando's eyes
@@VideoGamePlay369 😂
indeed. I saw him live and his attitude on stage is awesome, he played an entire song standind still looking at one point only moving his hand lol
I like how he said that you can sound great in your bedroom with a little practice amp and a boss metal zone. That is legit my setup right now!
I think weve all had that setup at 1 point or another lol. I know I did.
HorrorNightsFan13 My setup rn as well XD
+HorrorNightsFan13 More importantly, he noted that if you're gonna be playing in a band, to be heard in a mix, you need those Mid Frequencies, othewise you're not gonna be heard.
i have just a fender champion 110 and i can get killer tones out of it
You can, but it's very difficult. Crank the mids up, not the gain. Get half of your gain from the pedal and half from the amp. Straddle two pickups for your solo tone. If you do that, you could even play small gigs with that rig.
he describes guitar tone so simply and straight foward and then you listen to alot of other guitarists talk about their tone and they dont make any sense
Geez, you need some serious stamina to play riffs that fast and tight and not hit a bad note.
Some are difficult but i'm playing regulary for 1 year now and it's not that hard if you're doing it with your heart ^^
of course he got a lot
but it gets easier the more passion you have
MrBlackMysterious Passion doesn't stop you sounding like shit if you can't play it.
it's easier because you have the will to learn everything
MrBlackMysterious
Persistence is far more important, practice then taking a solid listen to your playing and listen for mistakes and focusing on those specific errors in your playing will do you far better...
I love how well spoken and balanced Jim and Mick are... they're awesome.
I'm a little taken aback at how articulate he is. Very cool discovery.
Damn he is a fucking robot on the riff`s. I think this goes to anyone who thinks he is a bad player.
nice picture
Lol U too
And he has got amazing solos !
Mick has to be the tightest thrash rhythm player out there
Dylan Edwards slipknot is not thrash. Slipknot is alternative nu metal
slipknot is slipknot
Indeed
He's also a solid lead player.
Pretty much agreed
dude. hes such a bad ass. i nvr really realized how complex there shit wuz and how good of a guitarist he is.
Wow...he's a lot better of a guitarist than what most people give him credit for!!! :O
Impressive how articulate he is in all aspects of playing dynamics and audio mixing and recording.
I have such a crush on Mick. I love that he can't stop playing his guitar!!!
I do too, Seven is just so badass. Love him so much.
looks awesome sounds even better
I love how he's all chill in person and on stage he's a fucking headbanging, monster.lol
Why is mick not on a 7 string, and why doesnt jim play bass? their numbers would be perfect!
+Burning Innocence umm why he dont play 7 ... well first of his strings are thick enought to handle low tuning ....
He once said 7-strings are just a trend
He's warmed up to sevens recently, but he said he won't record with one until they record something with that low of a tuning. He tunes his sixes to Drop B and drop A, so he probably won't use a seven until they drop to G or some shit like that.
+JohnnyMrHattersmith i play in drop A with a 7 string, thats like standerd for a 7
Noel Crowley Not sure why. It would make sense to me if he switched to sevens, but he wants to stick with sixes.
That amp sounds great, so many options, awesome!
Awww his voice ♥
He looks like a mix of Silent Bob and Vinnie Paul lol Dude jams though!!
I haven't cut my toenails since 1986. They are now over 25" in length. They are very curly and knobbly. They are browny yellow. I never wash my socks. I have been wearing these dark green socks for eight months now. I sleep in them. They haven't been off my feet in all that time. I will stick a black olive on the end of each toenail. You can come to my house, remove my green socks and eat the black olives. Pull them from my toenails with your teeth.
@@falseteeth5621 I know I'm really late but. HOW IS THAT RELATED TO HIS COMMENT?
WTF
what a metal beast
Bad-ass player! Damn he is tight, love his style.
Mr. Seven is just so fucking badass. He seems to really know what he's talking about too.
Where can i get the Hi definition version of the footage of Mick tracking rhythms for all hope is gone in the studio?
it is uploaded here in 360? Is it property of Rivera amps?
He makes it look so easy and effortless
dont' even like slipknot but this guy is really smart about electronics and music and Rivera amps are kick ass. funny his guitar and amps are the 7 model and their song is called Gematria... haha if any of you guys can figure out the relation to the number 7 and the word Gematria you win a cookie. good luck
it goes way back like 1785. gematria is hebrew or greek . used to put a numerical value on words? thats all i got. i looked it up and it was pretty interesting but confusing too. please elaborate more if you would.
Jews interpret the written work by mathematical means and seven is typically interpretted as good.
Oatmeal raisin with a side of sliced pork and non-cloven hoof.
Shiney JerkFace
Funny! my first metal band i formed was called Cloven Hoof.
jeffrey monroe I just googled the word "Gematria" and I found this:
"a Kabbalistic method of interpreting the Hebrew scriptures by computing the numerical value of words, based on the values of their constituent letters."
What I THINK that means is that every letter in the Hebrew alphabet has a numerical value directly related to it's place in the alphabet. For example in the English alphabet A is 1, B is 2. You just add those numbers up to get the Gematric value?
his day job before Slipknot took off was at a guitar shop and engineering at a recording studio.
i love the markers he has on the top of the neck
Absolutely awesome ❤️
there are a bunch of great guitar players in the world in all music types but mick is just a beast warrior when it comes to his sounds and is definately influencing other great bands to come
Gematria is truly a symphony of metal riffs and brutal trash technique.
You can sound legit with a big amp and a metal zone if you use it right. I run it straight from my guitar to the amps input and get an insanely killer tone out of my Marshall DSL 100. I cut the gain out completely on the pedal and turn the drive up and it tightens up the tone while still keeping all the bottom end
I love that I have to watch a commercial to be able to watch what is essence is a (amp) commercial. 3:51 makes it worth it though...
1:16. Vendetta. Such an awesome song, I wish they would play it live
Can someone tell me what song Mick's playing between 5:10-5:31 please? Thank you...
What's the name of the song he plays at the beginning of the video ?
@Mohamed636 That's his number in Slipknot but on the Slipknot website it explains it a little better.
Wow, what is the Song at the Beginning of the Clip?

@M0NsTer20010 Not sure what video you were watching, but he's definitely got long hair in this one. It's pulled back through most of it, but he's got long hair.
Hes got that whole Kerry King thing going, even the raiders cap, K.K. in the 90s Im sayin ofcoarse the shades inside also. KK never takes his off,same with Simmons. wish I had this rivera amp & cabnet.
Does anyone know what's the intro song?
what's the song's name that Mick plays?
what's the song at 3:53 ?
I would love to try this amp.. Im not big into slipknot, the only good cd was vol. 3... But this amp sounds great.
as much as i love slipknot(no joke)
i think guitar needs to do interview bands like cannibal corpse, morbid angel.
in my opinion, thats where the talent and influences are
eddie van halens big influence is trey azagthoth from morbid angel, that guy influenced him to dive bomb
so guitar world, please do reviews of good old fashion death metal bands
