It’s such a treat when Mick makes a public appearance or interview.

Mick and Jim are two of the coolest dudes in the industry.

Everytime I see Mick talking my day gets better

Mick looks thin, sounds calm and enthusiastic. I love him ❤

He's actually BAGUL from Sinister.

"What ive learned is don't make plans" got it Mr. 7 ill take that as a motto.

Mick is such a good storyteller. He should write a book about the formation of Slipknot from his vantage point.

Mick seems to be so much happier and approachable these days, you love to see it.

Still feels like he could be intimidating if he wants to be. Lol. But he’s a nice guy!

He's so well-spoken. Doesn't seem to need to talk but knows what he has to say if prompted to.

The edit skills is 🔥🔥🔥

It’s part of his look and persona, but I gotta say, if this dude shaved his beard he’d look 20 years younger EASY. Especially now that he’s slim. This man is one of my greatest inspirations for writing riffs 🤘🤘 Long live 7!

Could not trust more the group of ears and experience behind these pickups. Stoked to see come to life. 🤘

Such a awsome human

This is such a cool listen!

Mick is the man🤘

Micks really slimmed down. Good work!

Mick seems to get cooler and cooler as he ages.

Mick is a real beast for metal riff, love he speedy down picking, totally underrated

That" somebody else heard something and saw us" was Sophia John from 89.7 The River in Council Tucky IOWA. whom is credited by many reputable sources as the one that DISCOVERED Slipknot back in 1998-1999 days. I was there. I remember being from Omaha hearing all sorts of and seeing all sorts of stuff. Good times.

Me too mick, I also spent a lot of time in my room figuring stuff out

The Fishman pickups sound simply Brutal! I have a Cort X700 Mutility guitar and the sound is crazy, I would buy Fishman pickups again without a doubt.

Inside the Nine Mick thompson #7 Unmasked Interview - there's another one :)

he looks fuckin great

Kinda funny I was briefly in the scene then left and moved to TN from 93-97. Missed so many good local bands in that time period including Bodypit. When I came back everyone was talking about Slipknot.. Listened to the CD MFKR.. Was like huh? This is popular? Hadn't seem them live yet. Finally did then the light went on.. Then of course after hearing their RR debut.. Just blew me away. Been a proud fan ever sense. Sadly not too many local bands have done anthing since. A few have done pretty well.. Dead Horse Trauma, Index Case, Saul, Destrophy, Widow 7, Painface.. Of course non of my bands lol.

Wow, Mick is well spoken. Seems like he's a pretty smart dude.

Mick was a big guy a few years back.. now he is looking slim and sharp.

I'd love to hear more about his incredible weight loss. Dude looks so good.

Pink esp guitar for mick would be awesome! 👌

Cool

Mick woke up and chose to lore dump the best metal history ever wtf! Best Mick interview ever :O ??

LOVE THIS ❤❤❤

And I was about to buy those MT Duncan Sigs..

Lookin healthy!

After witnessing Mick Laying down tracks for All hope is gone I've been a huge fan of his playing since!🤘 check that vid out if you are into 7! His tone is evil Af on that video!🔥

Mick slimmed down a lot. He looks good.

The way he describes Slipknot forming is reminiscent of the Pearl Jam/Green River/Mother Love Bone situation....

Mick and Jim are and will b3 slipknot

Dude always talk so fast but yet still comprehensible. Not gonna lie, I'd pay money to hear him raps.

I legit read the headline thinking his signature set was CALLED Origin Story lol

MICK IS REALLY THIN AND REALLY OPEN AS OF LATE. HE IS FEELING GOOD, ACCOMPLISHED AND IM READY FOR HIM TO START AND BREAKDOWN HOW EVERY SONG WAS WRITTEN.....RIFF WISE. I KNOW HOW EVERYTHING START. JUST 2 BREAKDOWNS.....HOW DID PEOPLE AND DISASTERPIECE COME ABOUT

Mick’s new name is “Slim Thompson”.

Wow! I didn't know Bagul was actually a nice guy!

Who in the comments looked up the guitar company that mick Thompson talked About?

Hey, Mick! Don't shut down the mask and coveralls! :D Is that what you mean to say? Don't do that. :) I think the fans like it. :)

I cannot get over how much weight hes dropped. Looks like a different dude

Mick gosto mais de você com mascara 😂😂😂

Cool hearing from Mick. Shame what Slipknot is now though.

love mick and jim , and god damn has he lost a lot of weight

I'm pretty sure Slipknot would be famous even without the masks. The seller back then wasn't the mask. It was their stage performance. And I'm sure they could've done it without the masks.

Mick was more fearsome when he weighed more. Almost looks like he lost to much weight.

I believe he believes everything he is saying - but not everyone agrees. I think it has to do with age and what sounds people grew up with. Personally, I do not like active pickups and the Fishman's are no different in that regard - Just because I don't like them does not mean they aren't good - they are good. I have them in 3 guitars and I enjoy the sounds. They sound good, they perform just fine and I can use them no problem. The thing is, for me, I prefer the sound of passive pickups...and that's all there is to it....at 60 years old, I also don't like too much technology in guitar equipment or batteries in my guitar - so that's my opinion. Les Paul, Tele, Strat and a Charvel, Tube amp, passive pickups a cable and a pick. If you can't make that sound good, then the problem lies elsewhere.

Someone should have asked him. If he is into other music.. what makes him play with Slipknot? Is it just money

did he lose a lot of weight?

Glenn Fricker says that pickups make no difference in your tone. Passive or Active does not make a difference. Glenn Fricker says that pickup manufacturers are full of crap and lie to sell pickups. Glenn Fricker demands that pickup manufacturers provide graph evidence of their claims.
