[Timo4slash]

what kind of fucking noobs use fenders and orange amps for screamo metal?

[puppetmastz0r]

@Timo4slash Evidently, the kind of people who know considerably more about live rigs than you do.

[Timo4slash]

@puppetmastz0r like you know any better mr soundguy over here big shit orange amps got high gain shooting through the roof, they sound like a vox on heroin i hate them how about this guy picks up a metal fucken guitar not a punk/jazz/blues instrument and bend strings a lil. lol at orange, u look like a fairy on stage playing with that setup

[frakke1203]

@Timo4slash what kind of fucking noob call slipknot screamo metal...

[Timo4slash]

@frakke1203 what kind of noob doesnt know the genre of music he probably listens to...fucking noob

[LOVEMCEE]

@Timo4slash "lol at orange, u look like a fairy on stage playing with that setup"

Thats what u said.Thats why i said what i did in my last comment. You the one hatin on the color orange You probly can't even see orange, you color blind, from when you got fucked in the face, homo bitch, go listen to your soft music, laymen.

[frakke1203]

@Timo4slash ... you're father should had use a condom

[LOVEMCEE]

@Timo4slash

It isn't screamo music, HAHAHAHA, young kid. you obviously just started listening to metal.

You fuckin idiot. Google that shit. Wikipedia that shit. LISTEN TO THAT SHIT. Screamo music is like atreyu, Moron.

Anyone hating on fender for live sound obviously knows NOTHING about music. FACT

Color of a amp doesn't change nothing, only faggots are concerned about colors of equipment.

And plus "Orange/Red" is the color of danger.

and "Pink / timo4slash" is the color for faggot.

[Timo4slash]

@LOVEMCEE LOL ur telling me i dont know my shit, orange as in the brand orange amps, fucken dummy! only fender basses are capable for getting a metal enough tone, a single coil pickup fender is fucking useless! u should stfu before u hurt urself, u clearly dont know what real metal iis like you just keep listening to these noobs play on garbage can lids...

[LOVEMCEE]

@Timo4slash

just kill your self, you fuckin idiot hahahahah

Even you know your wrong. Fuckin idiot. You know nothing about fender, it amazes me lmao

[ROCKSTAR28337]

this is a little off tc but im oing as mick thompson for halloween

[jik1992]

Jim looks nothing like what I thought he would without the mask, yes I'm jsut seeing him unmasked now, don't judge me.

[TheMorbidAsshole]

i cant put in my mind that this guy is from slipknot . not unless he puts his mask on

[OpulenceOfGrey]

What he says about the bridge just proves what a moron he truly is.

[metaladdict1000]

Nothing like coming to a Slipknot "guitar lesson" for a few laughs, especially coming from Chris Broderick's Chaos Theory. Slipknot... what a joke.

[supermusickid667]

if only i knew slipknot used a ibanez like last month! this dude was selling a original lefty ibanez but no instead i went to guitar center and bought a fender strat squire! >:( well watever woo SLIPKNOT!

[ermonski]

3:39 looks like where the Ibanez FR series started! :D

[GoPotatoes7392]

1:49 "so let's check out the rack" LMAO

[strNpwrKC]

@GoPotatoes7392 Someone's in middle school ;)

[DamageIncM]

Would Jim be the friendliest guy in SlipKnoT?

[ImPetrucho]

Why Mick is in Mask, and Jim not?

[hucchio13]

Fucking interview!!! He didn't play a note!!!! This is marketing...

[wpmtpm]

For the music they play why does he have a country/western guitar hahahahahaha!

[hugofm619]

@wpmtpm I love that intro, especially because the part that comes next is so fucking heavy xD

[AwsomeDMan]

@wpmtpm Because they are real musicians and can play a variety of things :)

[VikingFatty]

@wpmtpm hahahahaha, yeah good question hahahahahaahhaha. please gtfo.

[mmwband1]

[Raittarian]

That's a HUMBUCKER!?

[ReductioAdAbsurdum1]

sellout.

[finland941]

haha slipknot guitars -.- rlly wtf i would never buy guitar like that . sad

[THEsallback]

@finland941 why not??? 

[271189a]

Mick thompson, the only metal guitarist that walks around in the sun and gets inspired to write heavy as shit death metal riffs.

[CombatWombat1995]

@271189a Dunno bout 'death metal'.

[LiNaK37]

@271189a Death metal? lolwut

[271189a]

@LiNaK37 sorry i meant dance hall pop, why what do 'scene kids' call it?

[LiNaK37]

@271189a What? Since when has Mick Thomson wrote death metal riffs? Was he in a death metal band before he was in Slipknot? Also, I couldn't give a shit about what scene kids call whatever.

[271189a]

@LiNaK37 cool story bro

[LiNaK37]

@271189a It's also a true story bro.

[271189a]

@LiNaK37 Whats a true story? You've not really made any point, stop trolling dude.

[LiNaK37]

@271189a Trolling? I just said that Mick Thomson doesn't write death metal riffs.

[DeathCountRises]

Slipknot WAS a band that brought death metal elements to the mainstream with their first and better second album. I still enjoy some of the first and second albums as they are nostalgic for me to listen to but like all bands, as soon as they got a taste of $ they pussied out. Now I'm a guy who listens to Malevolent Creation, Dying Fetus, The Crown, etc but I liked what Slipknot was doing by basically bringing blast beats and speed picing to the mainstream audience. Now, Slipknot is a joke and t

[Socioistic]

@DeathCountRises

Becoming mainstream is something that only fans of underground, or at the very least, unpopular bands fear. No band that actually likes making music, and recording, and producing their music would like to be, or already likes being mainstream. Bands allow people like you to believe that they want to stay off the radio, and that they only want a few hundred thousand fans, when only an idiot would want the job that is their livelihood to be less productive than it could be.

[CaptainTrollable]

This guy blow chunks.

[diceMEass]

why does it says always "SEVEN", while it got only 6 strings on it....>_<

[SantomPh]

@diceMEass Mick is #7 in Slipknot, They use numbers instead of names.

[tingly7654321]

slipknot is trash the fans are white trash pasty neckbeards with no class

shame on you all lol

[Nahoc10]

@tingly7654321 "lol"

[charles24520001]

@tingly7654321 you are an ignorant piece of shit... thats all i have to say

[DemonButler16]

@tingly7654321 Oh really?? Slipknot and thaa fans are trash?? reallyy?? well FUCK YUUH BIIITCH!!

[orkhammer40k]

plymouth road runner!!!

[7Metallikamp7]

"Its got a contour here... so you can reach those high frets a little better... even though we dont play any notes above a low G on any of our songs"

[TheBetrayal1]

When Mick is carring the guitar it's like: "It sounds very...*suddenly guitar breaks* ...Oh..I ruined it..."

[TheSQUANTO666]

What brand of shirt is Jim Root wearing?? Not to sound gay..

[shohchkheh]

American Metal ... without any feelings and meanings

[Diehard804]

@shohchkheh i agree for the most part. except pantera and metallica. Its all about the UK though for good music. (and yes im an american too)

[shohchkheh]

@Diehard804 Well i prefer the skandinavian musik and germany has some very good bands too and also poland. But you can find good bands everywhere.

[suicideredemption1]

Am so proud i have an ovation ;)

[jaratt85]

GOD DAMNIT!!! SOMEONE GET MICK TO ACTUALLY PLAY HIS ACOUSTIC IN A VIDEO! I want to hear someone play it that actually has the balls to make it sound the way he wanted it to

[XxAcousticSolutionxX]

mick looks so fucking dark with his mask and hair and stage performance... then you talk to him and its like wtf... your nice.... and .... well spoken... gotta love musicians

[ZombiexBalls]

is it me, or do they all sound like corey taylor when they talk?? lol

[Obliviateable]

@ZombiexBalls They all smoke :P

[ZombiexBalls]

@Obliviateable definitely could tell. lol

[MaggotMuncher96]

@ZombiexBalls nyoo just Joey, Chris, Mick, Jim, Paul, Corey, Shawn, and craig

[Ellisparks24]

I Lol at the beginning

[dboyle1234]

If Mick's Ibanez has passive pickups then why is there a battery pack on the back?

[VocalCovers101]

@dboyle1234 lol its on the top left on the back of the guitar.

[VocalCovers101]

@dboyle1234 He probably had actives on that guitar before he customized it maybe.

[OVER9000VIDEOS]

fuck slipknot

[mgdth502]

BUT all the guys are very nice in person! I was fortunate enough to meet them a while back, I may not like them but I still respect them.

[mgdth502]

I hate Slipknot and the way they play guitar.. But I know those guys can shred, I wish they would do more "guitar player's" kind of guitar playing instead of just a bunch of drop-tuned shitty mess of chords drowned out in sour effects.

[gothickingdon]

i want that dam mask



[KingofPho75]

i really want to hear that custom ibanez

[KartoumStaticSting]

Is he a hair stylist?

[Barracuda007]

man i'm a dimazio guy but everyone's rockin seymour duncans these days!

[Hateeternal2009]

@Barracuda007 EMG's all the way man. I have 5 guitars all with EMG's except my BC Trace Beast which has Seymour Duncans. It doesn't cut through very well IMO

[tenhundredkills]

For getting a metal guitar, why a Fender?

[DH31701]

@tenhundredkills the brand doesn't matter as long as you have a high output pick up

[tenhundredkills]

@DH31701 True to an extent, but I'd feel better choosing a brand that specializes in metal guitars (ie Jackson, ESP, Ibanez, etc) if I were in the market for that kind of thing.

[DH31701]

@tenhundredkills Yeah I agree, I wouldn't choose Fender if it was me

[mac13ane]

telecaster of doom!!!!

[SlayerAwaits1]

fuck slipfag

[CrysisSKT]

first song of slipknot ?

[jaiwook63]

except for the big ass fucking "seven" on the fretboard I would totally buy that acoustic

[TheCephalic19]

Im not a big fan of fenders but this one is bad ass

[TheDug0]

i love guitarist like this. not only do they kick ass and are great players, but they know their shit about their craft and instruments. kids now days just pick up a guitar and assume they know all and can play. these are real guitarists.

[pittbullbill]

@TheDug0 ok lol

[stromer24]

i dont slipnot at all but i dig behind scene stuff like this.

[TheDoylen]

UNMASKED NOOOO



[rammsteinrulz16]

that cannot be Jim Root. Hes 39. Dude here looks 50. Wierd

[totethrash]

slipnooooooooooooooooot!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Tiago615]

[theDeathJoy]

[TJGuitarVids]

0:23

OH FUCK,

This new mask is taking it too far.

Disgusting!

[slipknot1915]

they wrote Micks name wrong.... Its Mick THOMPSON... not Mick THOMSON

[themaggot8]

@slipknot1915 Actually is Thomson

[gnrfreak1]

@themaggot8 its thompson

[180monster]

whoa whoa whoa whoa...slipknots from Iowa?!

[hashibatune]

@180monster wuuuuut u didn't know? There's the slbum IOWA....IOWA

[xXxM0rbidxXx]

His car made me have to change my pants

[Vlodimer]

jim root looks kinda like a mikki rourke

[diabeticmonkey]

Why does Mick insist on wearing that at all times? You think he wouldn't give a shit anymore.

[lund3000]

@diabeticmonkey Mick is know as 1 of the guitarist from SLIPKNOT, Jim is known from Slipknot AND Stone Sour, he is not 100% known as the dude with the mask, Mick is, so becuase of that he does.

[krokorad]

o mi gash.......!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!  i like it

[SatyrX09]

lolz Mick says "uhh" excessively haha...

I am so in love with Jim's gear swear to god

[BoNgWaTeRdEmOn]

jim looks so........ normal..

[WeirdHeadshot]

love that mask i want it

[Conduit13C]

not to be an asshole, but i can understand why they wear masks. i much perfer them wearing the masks...

[DannyMarxCHANNEL]

we should rob Jim's home

[Leatherlog1]

That's a nice telecaster nice Arsenal!

[Leatherlog1]

That's a nice tele

[Destruction555666]

Did you ever noticed that Mick Thompson is actually more active and energic when wearing mask? always when he,s unmasked he,s sooooo silent and calm and talks soooo slowly.

[Cryology531]

@Destruction555666 holy shit ur right lol

[eddox94]

@Destruction555666 That mask... it has something...

[GlockenspielSAS]

@Destruction555666 probably he looks stoopid when talking faster xD

[darkhalo23]

@Destruction555666 Yeah. Usually when you're in a band that has such an amazing image, and that's been around for 10 odd years, when playing infront of 50,000 people, I dont blame Mick for being calm. When he's out on stage with his mask on, obviously you're gonna be active and energetic, because you're playing infront of a crowd.

[Destruction555666]

@darkhalo23

yeah i believe he doesnt give a fuck at all about playing in front of one camera

[darkhalo23]

@Destruction555666 Like I said, he's not infront of 50,000 odd people, and it's probably their day off, so he's generally being lazy lol

[sukablianah2]

omg that a really good acoustic! comfortable! narrow fret! i want it!

[sukablianah2]

haha why Mick is wearing a mask here?

[Ghefly]

ah what I would do to have those boxes of pedals.

[zachy5436]

ok, i'm a HUGE slipknot fan, but honestly, mick isd kinda an ass. don't flame me or anything, btu if you want his lessions, he's just a friggin dick!

[Yofaceee10987]

dude jim has a nice car

[Keschameerkat]

Mick uses custom Ibanez guitars. Right on! Love Slipknot! R.I.P. Paul

[AlexDeMars123]

Hi, I'm Jim. Please ignore my way-too-tight button down shirt.

Also if you look at his settings for his amp, he has the mids scooped. Why use an midrangey Orange amp if you are going to suck the mids?

[cultshakere]

hahaha gotta love these guys! ;D

[EpiphoneMaster1234]

@halldan95 whats the point? he doesnt were his mask when he plays with stone sour.

[toyakz312]

mick has a cool mask. well they all do.

[Mythorigor0977]

Dang, i can't imagine how fat jim got... but he's still the tallest in slipknot aint he?

[TonyRedmond7]

@Mythorigor0977 No the rest of em all grew a foot taller last week..

[gotguitar90]

hahahahahahahahahah they spelled thompson wrong hahahahahahahahaa

[xAxl666x]

@gotguitar90 your retarded.

[molomono]

@gotguitar90 Not the guitar company, they are talking about the guitarist.

[clipzngunz]

its funny when mick talks just cause how scary that mask is but at the same time, how calm he talks.

[thumbvideos123]

awesome but would be better if they had done mick's rig too

[tiaoze]

STAY (SIC) !!

[KevinFL]

Simple high quality gear that will handle touring. I like the aproach

[HolyGK]

lol i love the beginning of the video

[Sooshdog]

Jim looks like the lead singer from Mayhem

[Wolfmoon23]

Is that Iowa accent he is speaking? Or is it just him?

[linkinman48]

WOW. it's sad when you look at the guitarists from prep bands and alternative bands. they have better gear than this and tons more money, but these guys are real artists. and can actually play.

[GJRM18]

@linkinman48 what are you talking about they chose all their gear mick and james have signature guitars they found what they liked and well got it

[Langtw]

Holy shit these guys are a lot older than you would expect!

[freddyc1079]

nice fuckn car ,

[crazay99]

I hate people who leave hate comments. I'm not a Slipknot fan but I'm not gonna talk shit about them.
