First the intro is great;second, this is great old school rig rundown with lots of gear. You’re seeing more and more rig rundowns and to watch the change as time goes is very fascinating
It's nice to see that the Boss NS-10 Noise Supressor is acknowledge by famous people as the best noise supressor ever. I have one since they came out, it cost me a lot of money (almost 200€ in today's currency) but It will stay with me as long as I live and I think it will outlast me.
According to the website, he has 2 out right now. The newer one looks totally insane. 3 humbuckers, Tele body with Strat head. So yeah, I won't be surprised if a Jim Root Strat comes along.
nope, the other amp is powering one speaker that is in a box that has one or two microphones in it, those send the sound that they record to the large speakers that you can see in both sides of a stage, if you've ever been to a concert. the cabinets that have more/4 speakers per cabinet, are there for stage volume. jim has said that if he wanted, he could get rid of them, but he wants to hear he's playing from them.
It's good to see Mick has finally decided tone is important, a plywood guitar with EMG's in it sounds almost as bad on paper as it does in reality. Jim's rack is amazing, great choice with the Orange/Bogner/Diezel combo.
it can be either but if hes controlling it the pedal would be on the floot with him. a rack mount wah is just basically a wah built into a rack unit with a "dummy" pedal controlling the sweep the pedal could be used for other foot controlling uses aswell its just not a wah.
Most guitarists won't have their pedals/pedalboards on stage unless they're really fussy/particular about such stuff, like Korn (last time) and Muse. I think what he meant by controller pedal is a remote switch/expression pedal, so it doesn't clutter up the stage or make it hazardous to headbang/mosh around.
the power unit is i guess for swaping between the american and european/ect voltage, but still keeping the amps and such going and not blowing. rackmount wah is tweakable, so they basicly have wah's that they like. and the effects/pedals are used alot in slipknot actually. not maby so much on the records but they use them live, to make it more fun they say or add colour, or boost or saturation, whatever. i think there is a sensible reason to most of their stuff. and the old stuff is old stuff.
Because that one is a LACS tuned to E for playing at home. The Ovation actually _was_ just an acoustic with his color and inlays, there's nothing real special about it's sound, but it's fretboard sounds nice. The MTM10 is the bolt on mid-tier red model, so I would imagine he doesn't use it in the studio, and as far as I know, he didn't use the MTM100 (black one) in the studio either, those are just his production models. But he _did_ use his custom shop white MTM20 for All Hope Is Gone and .5.
@@coffinfeeder7732 for the drop A stuff he does use the 100's I think because they weigh a tonne and are super resonant. If not those he probably used his BC Rich Beast. Only reason I'm saying this is because he said he used "the big pointy glazed guitars"
Sort of like a backup rack, or like what he said how if he was playing in one country he could ship the other rig to another to ensure that he has one to play when they get to their gig in that other country. Besides, one should always have backup gear when performing live P:
@tohtorigyro Yes, they do have pedals, the question is.. does it make a difference? I don't care if they have so many rig modules and stuff, its just that, do they even use it wise? I don't think so. All they need is a guitar, a distortion pedal or an overdrive amp, and that's it, you got a Slipknot album.
the new record has more complex stuff, doesn't even get close on the simplicity that the earlier records had. and jim has the straight-to-speakers stuff, mick has all the rediculous crap in hes rig. they both have a power unit, a wireless unit and a rackmount crybaby wah (moddable). plus the stompbox effects that in jim's case are run through a gcx system that has pre-set banks on it, makes it alot simplier to stom one button instead of few pedals.
Bearded Jim and non-bearded jim are 2 completely different people
That intro was a clean transition!!!
Jim seems like the coolest dude ever
he is, bro!!
I love Mick...and Jim...they're totally into their gear, they are a credit to the empire of the guitar!!!
jim root on mtv cribs
Vigors Vigores lol
Jim's laugh gets me every time😀😁😅
I love how Jim does it without his mask but nick is sorta like "what? this is what my face looks like."
ManiacBanana I have seen Mick without his mask. Maybe at that time he was not comfortable doing an interview without his signature mask
@@annetteslife Shut up, you ruined the joke.
First the intro is great;second, this is great old school rig rundown with lots of gear. You’re seeing more and more rig rundowns and to watch the change as time goes is very fascinating
Jim really does have amazing tone, especially in the new stuff I've heard from Stone Sour.
damn!!
i love the simplicity of Jim's Guitar!!!
it might be simple in appearance but one hell of played by Jim himself!!
It's odd seeing Mick having a tele like guitar from Ibanez and that he has a signature acoustic guitar
Loved the intro.
that acoustic is a genius piece of work... everything a metal player looks for in an acoustic guitar!
I like how when you 1st hear this country music then 7 seconds later you hear sic.
i feel ya, i was more of a mick guy a few years ago, but i just love jims playstyle and his classic equipment, and he is just an awesome guy :D
Love the Orange Amps
im glad they know theyre shit. not saying that no one does, but i enjoy seeing the actual musicians talk about their setup rather than their techs.
snickylicky their* completely through me off in a different direction because of that.
Hah, same here. I never do grammar correction, but I actually read that as "I'm glad they know they are shit."
that transition in the beginning was awesome
I love this video.
Jim's chuckles at 1:03, 2:39, and 3:22 are so catchy.
It's nice to see that the Boss NS-10 Noise Supressor is acknowledge by famous people as the best noise supressor ever. I have one since they came out, it cost me a lot of money (almost 200€ in today's currency) but It will stay with me as long as I live and I think it will outlast me.
Mick Thomson with a telecaster. That's it. Now I've seen everything
All of this sounds very fancy yes.
Both these guys are huge.
My mind has been blown!
he's forever in it.
@FMJman1 ok... Thanks, man. Simply love Jim and Mick's tone! Those are two badass guitarists... So underated.
A-raq, B-raq, I-raq
Good one !
They make me proud to live in Iowa.
Killer rig Root! Killer guitar Mick!!
god damn i love his acoustic guitar
No kidding man. I love that tele
y couldnt mick do his unmasked???
Mick never does any interviews unmasked
Scared
+Tuvshin I wouldn't be talking
13Spartan666 i have seen recent interviews with Mick unmasked
Annette Melnychuk but he's always wearing his glasses lol
The acoustic one looks great.
its a custom model built for mick,you cant get it anywhere,but you can get the mt1 at any shop that sells it
According to the website, he has 2 out right now. The newer one looks totally insane. 3 humbuckers, Tele body with Strat head. So yeah, I won't be surprised if a Jim Root Strat comes along.
Jim Root's equipment is so boss !
the song in the background is (sic) from the album Slipknot

i like the starry effect they used in this video and the stephen carpenter guitar world video and probably every other video, pretty cool
@deadblacktree Rockverb 100, which are 100 watts.
Wow, I am extremely surprised at how much these guys know about their gear. Most people don't get into fretboard radius and wood choices.
It's good to see Mick has finally decided tone is important, a plywood guitar with EMG's in it sounds almost as bad on paper as it does in reality. Jim's rack is amazing, great choice with the Orange/Bogner/Diezel combo.
He uses a Strat for some songs now. I believe Dead Memories live. Go look for their most recent shows... Rock Am Ring, Download Festival... etc.
this is the first time I've heard mick talk and I wasn't expecting him to sound like that lmao
jim should make a signature head +cab (and a combo version for smaller houses like flats) (apartment)
it can be either but if hes controlling it the pedal would be on the floot with him. a rack mount wah is just basically a wah built into a rack unit with a "dummy" pedal controlling the sweep the pedal could be used for other foot controlling uses aswell its just not a wah.
personal preference for everyone. i love both X)
3:22 "why have one when you can have two..." the laugh after killed me
i love the intro!!
Wow, that intro actually plays well into the slipknot song.
jumbos are the way to go. best fret size in my opinion and i've had guitars with smaller frets, i like the jumbos the best.
I've always wondered how Mick can play a guitar, he's got gigantic hands!
I don't think I could choose between mick and Jim cuz they r both badasses
what really grinds my gears that theres an add for nero on a slipknot video
Most guitarists won't have their pedals/pedalboards on stage unless they're really fussy/particular about such stuff, like Korn (last time) and Muse.
I think what he meant by controller pedal is a remote switch/expression pedal, so it doesn't clutter up the stage or make it hazardous to headbang/mosh around.
the power unit is i guess for swaping between the american and european/ect voltage, but still keeping the amps and such going and not blowing. rackmount wah is tweakable, so they basicly have wah's that they like. and the effects/pedals are used alot in slipknot actually. not maby so much on the records but they use them live, to make it more fun they say or add colour, or boost or saturation, whatever. i think there is a sensible reason to most of their stuff. and the old stuff is old stuff.
so cool
I never would have guessed that Mick Thompson would be so well-spoken
i like the body on mick's guitar, but the headstock doesnt flatter it too well
Y have one when you can have Two!! EPIC!!
What would be the better amp for cleans, classic rock and metal the Rivera Kr7 or the orange rockerverb?
a quick peak at SOME of the pedals how many pedals does this guy have
I WANNA KNOW!
@DamageIncM i think that's the one he uses for his cleaner stuff like snuff.
@Tatertoot9 thats Micks number, it coresponds to his number in slipknot
7th member
I saw his house and thought "pretty small for his caliber" and then I saw his gear...
Hahaha I grew up in Iowa. I laughed my ass off right away with the intro to this video. That's Iowa...until Slipknot showed up!
Confession Maggot: I actually love Jim way more than Mick...
Jim"s Orange Amps are his custom line !
Oooo its beatiful mick and james
+Dariana Nahumi Mendoza Martinez Cause Stone Sour is awesome.
@Guitarrig31 its just a different guitar, im sure he kept his blackouts on the mtm1s
i love that mans laugh
holy crap anyone else think jim beefed up since there photoshoot with guitarworld back in Sept, Oct?? (can't remember exact month...)
Cant believe they met in fricking iowa...
I think Jim Root and John 5 are the only two guitarists that can make a telecaster look fucking metal as all hell.
The way the intro song shifts into (sic) is fucking perfect! XD
cool thank you
@mau1794 i don't think so bud. i only go into drop d to play slipknot stuff and it sounds about right.
I've never seen mick play any of those guitars. Ever. He's always using is mtm10 or mtm20
+Ayrsawft He uses them in the studio
Actually he never uses the mtm10 and mtm20 he just use his mtm1, theyre different
His MTM10 is the least used of his signature guitars and he never used the MTM20 live or in the studio, only the MTM1.
Because that one is a LACS tuned to E for playing at home. The Ovation actually _was_ just an acoustic with his color and inlays, there's nothing real special about it's sound, but it's fretboard sounds nice.

mick is my favorite guitarist along with jim root mark morton, willie adler, alexi laiho, and daron malakian
@lifewithbeats jim root is the lead guitar for stone sour
what's the Maxon pedal between the boss and the small stone?
mick is in depth with the sound that comes from the different factors on the guitar and mick talks about his cab lol

It´s amazing to know you can make absolutely heavy music without using 7 or 8 string guitars
wish i had those setups
did anyone notice the motorcycle in Jim's house? haha these guys are my favorite guitarists second to Syn Gates of A7X lol
ohhhh dope
@metalterminator1 He used an acoustic for the studio version of snuff, etc.
Yeah it's absolutely the colour.
@DamageIncM he uses 11-58 strings tuned to B
SWEEEET
Thanks for repy'in to me and tyVM for the info.
Keep it Rockin!!! \m/\m/
THAT IS A GUITARISTS DREAM!!!!!!!
its from a cd that comes with a cd called Guitar World. i subscribed to it its pretty awesome if you play guitar
I like how Mick says his Ibanez has passive pickups when there's a battery pack on the back... Or is it for something else...?
1969 Plymouth Roadrunner with a 440 Six Pack!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This dude knows a good car when he sees one!
MOPAR BABY
Jim looks completely different now didn’t even know it was him in this video
the new record has more complex stuff, doesn't even get close on the simplicity that the earlier records had. and jim has the straight-to-speakers stuff, mick has all the rediculous crap in hes rig. they both have a power unit, a wireless unit and a rackmount crybaby wah (moddable). plus the stompbox effects that in jim's case are run through a gcx system that has pre-set banks on it, makes it alot simplier to stom one button instead of few pedals.
the intro is fucking epic !
