I think that his personality changed over the last few years quite a bit, seems like he is „coming out a shell“ you can really notice it with his change of weight.
My boy lost a good deal of weight. Good for him, he looks good. Still sounds like his good ol' self too. Always fun to hear him chat about stuff as he's clearly passionate about his craft.
Pretty sure he's gotten sober and is either medicated or in therapy. You can see it, his weight alone. He's obviously in a much better place than he has been in decades... Hence the increase in interviews
Mick with a mask: Looks like he could kill you, only his eyes are visible Mick without his mask: Pretty chill but still seems like he could kill you if he wanted, wears sunglasses to cover his eyes
Mick is like that. I've only ever heard the guy speak in very short answers anyway, and I knew the guy in real life for a bit. This is wild to see him open up this much to be honest
@@joshpelton8068 I mean at the end of All Hope Is Gone era the band sounded ROUGH. I saw them at the end of that era, 14 times during Gray Chapter & now 3 times with Eloy and to me they're in the best shape and form.
@@Droxcy they might sound tighter or like better technical musicians now but it's only half of the same guys and 2 of the guys who made their sound unique are gone . To me, and many others they have dried up creatively and they sounded more like a cross between stone sour and Slipknot on last 2 albums. Mick and Jim are still great guitarists but they are just not the same band creatively and their is a lack of hunger and well that component that made them stand out as the unique entity that they were. I guess the whole Corey and 🤡 take over has soured me as far as taking them seriously. But they don't need me anymore than I need them I guess.
I love how you can tell when he’s asked something that genuinely catches his interest. He starts smiling and actually goes into detail about it. It’s so cool
Mick is the person because of him i start to play the guitar and i play it 10 years. He's very technique. The man following the heart. Respect! P.s sorry for my English cause i'm from Russia
Just wanted to say that I was there the 2 times Slipknot came in Nîmes (the venue that he talks about), the 2 times Slipknot fucking slayed it ! It was brutally the best 2 nights of my life 🤘🤘
Mick is a total bro. Probably not the guy you wanna bother at an airport, but would definitely have some beers and shoot the shit with you at a dive bar (well.. maybe 5-10 mins max 😂)
Holy shit Mick looks great, especially for his age. It’s nice to see that in recent years he’s clearly taken his health super seriously. Really refreshing to see in a world where musicians are destroying themselves from the inside out due to their lifestyles.
I truly never in a million years thought I’d hear Mick Thompson shout out Electric Six. Holy smokes. Legitimately one of the most underrated bands in history.
No way! I've got a Hohner tele copy that I was begging my Dad for for years. He finally caved in and gave it to me on New Year's Eve 2022 and I love it🤘
Mick Thomson - you have NO IDEA how much you are loved by Slipknot fans (Maggots) the world over, dude...thanks for the riffs, the songs...thank YOU! Slipknot fan since '99! All the love! \m/
It's so wild he mentioned Nîmes. I was living in BCN when they played Nîmes in 2019 and my son and I went and saw them there. That venue is so sick, but didn't think he'd mention it.
Hell yes. Got to meet him when he did his Ibanez guitar clinic in Ventura on my birthday and that night he was walking out of the restaurant below my hotel balcony so of course l had to yell down to him and got a massive growl and horns response from him. Seriously the best birthday ever.
I got to meet the band by chance after an Iowa show. Corey was off in the distance winding down, Joey was first to meet me so chill and still full of energy, Paul said a few things, Jim was funny, Mick said there was a new guitar being developed for him. Shawn was quiet. A quick 30 minutes I thanked them for a incredible show and Joey gave me a pillowcase with the Slipknot logo all over it with merch stuffed inside he thanked me for being a fan
This man is in my mind the genius of Slipknot. I mean he wrote the song ‘Metabolic’ and just that alone is the most amazing thing ever. I can’t even handle how good that song is.
Dude. YES. Electric Six RULE, and The Dead South are amazing, the most metal songs outside of metal. Already loved this dude but even more now. What a legend.
Holy shit he has lost weight! Good for Mick las t time I saw them live was Des Moines IA at the state fair and they still killed it! It might not be the same as they used to be but they still always perform and kill it!

Mick is going crazy, hes done more interviews in the last 6 months than he has the entirety of slipknot
Honestly lmao. It was pretty much just the Rig Rundown from 2014 for a *long* ass time
About time tbh
I think that his personality changed over the last few years quite a bit, seems like he is „coming out a shell“ you can really notice it with his change of weight.
As if something is going to happen soon))) Maybe Mick is next...
I’m loving it though, he’s always been my favorite band member
This is probably the most energetic interview I've seen Mick give
Weight loss looks good on him for real
@@MrCalculus1989 Looks more and more like Mike Shinoda lol.
Seemed like he was bored for the first couple minutes but was really enjoying himself by the end
Must have put stem cells in his fruit corner yoghurt that day 😂
@@MrCalculus1989 He looks very good
My boy lost a good deal of weight. Good for him, he looks good. Still sounds like his good ol' self too. Always fun to hear him chat about stuff as he's clearly passionate about his craft.
He isn't "Your Boy"
@@IrespecktyouallBro shut the fuck up 😭😭
@ironnads7975
You're right, he's our MAN
Fuck yeah he is.
Fr @@swiftuav3617
Hearing Mick be this talktative is crazy for someone that's been into them since 1999
My thoughts exactly
Fellow '99'er myself, dude! Glad you're still with us, fellow MAGGOT! \m/ ;D
Pretty sure he's gotten sober and is either medicated or in therapy. You can see it, his weight alone. He's obviously in a much better place than he has been in decades... Hence the increase in interviews
He's looking and sounding healthier than ever. Love to see it.
he looks good and happy for sure, but when I first saw he lost weight I thought he was sick.
Mick with a mask: Looks like he could kill you, only his eyes are visible
Mick without his mask: Pretty chill but still seems like he could kill you if he wanted, wears sunglasses to cover his eyes
😂
Yeah, I wish he would leave the shades off sometimes, so I could see those beautiful blue eyes.
“But still seems like he could kill you if he wanted” 😂😂
He sounds like he coud kill you if he wanted 🤣
If Medusa looked at him, she'd be turned to stone.
puppies and kitties and rainbows.. i love mick thomson
Fuck yeah, so do I, so much. ❤❤
The first ten seconds of this video I thought, "oh, its gonna be one of those" but he really opened up after some good questions.
It's like a date.
Mick is like that. I've only ever heard the guy speak in very short answers anyway, and I knew the guy in real life for a bit. This is wild to see him open up this much to be honest
Damn, this probably the fastest 6 minute video ever!! I WANT MORE!
Dude, I felt the same. Haha. It didn’t feel like six minutes!
I discovered death metal because of Mick. I don't really listen to Slipknot's music anymore, but I will always love Mick Thomson.
Was mick in a death metal band?
@@ImmariolopezYes, Body Pit
@@Immariolopezhe originally wanted to be in a death metal band i think he was hoping SlipKnoT would be that
Love how happy and open he is. Honestly, most of the guys we're in the best era of the knot.
Hardly the best era. Paul gray , and joey jordison the 2 main songwriters are dead and it's basically the Corey and clown show aka Slipsour.

@@joshpelton8068 I dunno, WANYK was pretty good actually. TESF is probably their worst ablbum ever tho
Mick's response to the Raiders question is pretty much what i figured it would be.
Love it!
Mick and Jim are phenomenal guitar players/musicians 🎸
THE LIMITS OF THE DEAD
BEST DUO IN THE GAME
Mick with mask: all you see is eyes and hair
Mick w/o mask: can see everything but hair and eyes
I love how you can tell when he’s asked something that genuinely catches his interest. He starts smiling and actually goes into detail about it. It’s so cool
I do like listening to Mick talk. I wish he’d record/ narrate an audiobook.
Oh God, me too. His voice is just so fucking sexy. ❤
I'm 30 something years old and I swear this is the first time I've seen this dude kinda happy / in a good mood
Hearing he’s a Dead South fan, is so awesome just imagining him vibin out to Banjo Oddesy
That answer made me smile ear to ear! They are amazing!
I love mick so much hes so straightforward 😭😭
Mick is the person because of him i start to play the guitar and i play it 10 years. He's very technique. The man following the heart. Respect!
P.s sorry for my English cause i'm from Russia
your english is very good!
After 25 years, Mick finally opened up on camera. Awesome! 🤘
Mick without his masks looks like someone who’d hate on slipknot for not being real metal and than go put on Metallica
Lmao that's fuckin hilarious, I can see it now that ya mention it. I wonder what his response would be if he read ur comment
He's into death metal mainly I think. He's probably stayed in Slipknot this long because it's very good money for him haha.
I can totally see that now that you said it
After Joey, Mick was always the most 'extreme' member of Slipknot with regards to music history and tastes... being mainly a death metal guy.
Just wanted to say that I was there the 2 times Slipknot came in Nîmes (the venue that he talks about), the 2 times Slipknot fucking slayed it ! It was brutally the best 2 nights of my life 🤘🤘
My idol of guitar players aince is was 15 years old
Turning 40 this nov
🤘Mick Thomson🤘
Mick is a total bro. Probably not the guy you wanna bother at an airport, but would definitely have some beers and shoot the shit with you at a dive bar (well.. maybe 5-10 mins max 😂)
Mick Is the fucking coolest! What an amazing interview, loved to hear him geek out to Electric Six! 🖤
Fuck yeah thats dope he mentioned the Gorge in places to play. Love seeing shows there.
The man. The legend.
Dime 100% the legend
He’s lost a ton of weight. He looks fricken great! 🤘
Holy shit Mick looks great, especially for his age. It’s nice to see that in recent years he’s clearly taken his health super seriously. Really refreshing to see in a world where musicians are destroying themselves from the inside out due to their lifestyles.
Whoa. Hes lost quite a bit of weight. Rock on Mick!
Mick knows what's up, Electric Six all the way!! 😆🤘
It would be awesome if he could dance!
@@Beowolf193 🤣Correct. He must've been a dance commander!
Favorite Knot member right here, I love seeing him do interviews
Mick is my second favorite Knot. My favorite is Sid because he is pure craziness
I truly never in a million years thought I’d hear Mick Thompson shout out Electric Six. Holy smokes. Legitimately one of the most underrated bands in history.
He reminds me of Joey (RIP). Mick is such a chill dude.
Ha!I love The Dead South! They are great.
I love that you can tell when he's actually interested in a question, and answers it in **much** greater detail than the rest.
slowly becoming Mike Shinoda
LMAO 😂😂😂
Shinoda could never be this cool.
Thank you for posting this! And I thought Mick was 6'4???
He probably is when he wears the boots, that's why he specified it by saying barefoot
I thought he was 6’6…
@@OneHundredPiplup that’s Jim who’s 6’6
The internet loves claiming stuff...
@@AustinWatson-ob2iq Jim is a fcking giant
2:00 Yes les Arènes de Nîmes!! Such a cool venue, I was there too!
No way! I've got a Hohner tele copy that I was begging my Dad for for years. He finally caved in and gave it to me on New Year's Eve 2022 and I love it🤘
Mick Thomson - you have NO IDEA how much you are loved by Slipknot fans (Maggots) the world over, dude...thanks for the riffs, the songs...thank YOU! Slipknot fan since '99! All the love! \m/
Why dos Mick always wear glasses indoors lol
Mick looks fucking awesome im super happy for him. still repping the glasses too🤘
Mick is looking fantastic! \m/
It's so wild he mentioned Nîmes. I was living in BCN when they played Nîmes in 2019 and my son and I went and saw them there. That venue is so sick, but didn't think he'd mention it.
MORE MICK CONTENT!!!!
masked Mick Thomson: you can only see his eyes and his hair
unmasked Mick Thomson: the only thing you can't see is his eyes and his hair
That's pretty screwed up. We can't have a Mick Thomson full face reveal.
Mick has always been my favourite member of slipknot and a guitar idol of mine. He never fails to impress.
Bro has the coolest mask in the group, i'm glad he never change the look of it.
Mick deserves to be included in the lost of greatet metal guitarists ovsll time! Dudes technique is so and hes just metal af anyway
Finally, a D’Addario man in a huge band. Those are the strings, right there.
nah, ernie ball
Mick is an awesome dude. I wish he'd hear from me that he's just awesome.
An absolute legend.
Much love from Scotland ❤️
Man, he just described the PERFECT way I feel about the Beatles. Thank you, Sir!
He’s looking like Mike Shinoda
The guitar hero to aspiring musicians for generations to come. That's his gift to the world.
I love happy & chill looking Mick.
man he's so cool. gotta love him
Hell yes. Got to meet him when he did his Ibanez guitar clinic in Ventura on my birthday and that night he was walking out of the restaurant below my hotel balcony so of course l had to yell down to him and got a massive growl and horns response from him. Seriously the best birthday ever.
I got to meet the band by chance after an Iowa show. Corey was off in the distance winding down, Joey was first to meet me so chill and still full of energy, Paul said a few things, Jim was funny, Mick said there was a new guitar being developed for him. Shawn was quiet. A quick 30 minutes I thanked them for a incredible show and Joey gave me a pillowcase with the Slipknot logo all over it with merch stuffed inside he thanked me for being a fan
that’s awesome
Did not realize how big his ears are lol. But its awesome to hear he loves The Dead South.
This man is in my mind the genius of Slipknot. I mean he wrote the song ‘Metabolic’ and just that alone is the most amazing thing ever. I can’t even handle how good that song is.
He seems alot more energetic and talkative than he used to be! Hes def in his prime
Awesome man
Thank you
Im glad to here the Gorge in Washington was his first favorite venue that came to mind.
Love Mick ❤️
Oh fuck yeah me too, so fucking much. ❤❤
Mick Thomson is my favorite member of Slipknot
Fuck yeah, mine too. Fucking love Mr. Seven so much. ❤❤
And our favorite horror villain in Sinister... BAGUL
""What does Mick's tattoo mean""
Mick: *It means Puppies and Kitties and Rainbows*
Damn. That's fucking brutal.
This is the most I’ve ever heard mick talk at once
I was at the concert in Nimes France in 2019 when Avatar opened for Slipknot. Best concert ive ever been at
Electric Six and Dead South? Fuckin killer choices, that I would not have expected.
Love that he's an Electric Six fan. Those guys are hella underrated
Yeah cuz they suck
Dead south. Mick you're a legend
Dude. YES. Electric Six RULE, and The Dead South are amazing, the most metal songs outside of metal. Already loved this dude but even more now. What a legend.
Nice to hear him show some love to The Gorge in Washington state!
Mick sounds exactly how u think a guy like him would sound istg. Golden.
Sounds like Jim without all the chuckling.
Ya know 😅 @@DavidOakesMusic
Ok so I have some much more respect for Mick with that Electric Six love!
We should have a Craig Jones interview. Would beat the internet.
Just noticed he has a very Hetfiled-esque talking voice.
Worlds most straight forward man
100% Electric Six is criminally underrated. Dance Epidemic is the jam!!
@2:12. That may be but your white Ibanez is the one you sounded best on IMHO.🤘
All of them sound awesome but the red Ibanez MTM1 and the black BC Rich "HATE" Warlock are two of my favourites from him, absolutely fucking killer
hearing mick speak for a long period of time scares me and makes me happy all at once im really not used to his voice yet
Holy shit he has lost weight! Good for Mick las t time I saw them live was Des Moines IA at the state fair and they still killed it! It might not be the same as they used to be but they still always perform and kill it!
Mick has always been the goated member of Slipknot
Mick and Corey could probably impersonate eachother's voices quite well
Glad he loves Nîmes. Saw them last year there and yes, the atmosphere was incredible. Really cool venue and amazing concert.
I had to look up Electric Six- never woulda thought!
Eu nunca vi esse homem sendo TÃO comunicativo nos 14 anos em que acompanho o Slipknot. 🥲
Electric Six was a brilliant trolling from him, omg
well danger high voltage by electric six was fantastic ...thank you for mick for that suggestion
Cool interview. Electric Six are fire.
Mick is fucking awesome !!!
Damn hes looking healthy and sharp, good for him!
He looks so healthy, love that for him!
I'm new to Slipknot but I havent found any interviews with him other than a few second. Is this like a big deal for him?
Omg nimes last year was my first slipknot show! I agree it’s such a cool venue
What a legend haha . Slipknot were the first big band I ever saw live I was so young they scared me
Hes the man
Mick looks like a new man with that weight loss 💪🏾
