[@LOLOBX]

Every guitarist: 'I like to keep it simple' *pulls out stacked pedal board*

[@TheJayBee1990]

so true.... went to a gig this summer on a festival and helped out at a friends band. the lead guitarist was like.. I just use this amp (and that really was everything he used.. guitar, cable, amp). then I came like yeah I keep it simple as well... 8 pedal board, Boss ME25 for FX, additional tuner (yes the ME25 has a build in one but I dont like it), boost pedal to boost any sounds of mine, half stack amp with modification ... "simple" or like jim would say: "simple, you know"

[@billyrouse4813]

For me it's a lot simpler. Guitar-wireless-BOSS GT-8-amp. Occasionally I'll run a second amp for a stereo rig, but not often. Most times it's direct to the board without an amp if I can do that.

[@roymccune6876]

My rig goes from guitar via rack mounted wireless reciver then into a tuner followed by a 31 band eq and out to a digitec wammy pedal and dunlop wah pedal and then into the amp. Then in the amps effect loop the rest of the rack shit first into my noise gate/compressor where its split channel A is clean and returns to the amp. Channel B goes thru a metal master pedal just bolted in the bottom of the rackbox then into a BBE sonic maximizer and finally returns to the amp. All power supplied and regulated by the rack mounted juice goose. Things get complicated when you are a tone junky. Lol.

[@notdeadkev.4307]

Not all Jake E Lee really does keep it simple like 6or 7 with tuner and he doesn't even use a trem bar on his Charvel

[@Alphaaussiegaming]

When u think about it it really is simple it really is just guitar pedals amp yea he uses a switching board but that’s t make it easier that’s not really making things complicated yea the boards stacked but it’s still just pedals then amp jim really only uses the pedals for sepific uses unlike some guys I know who own them and have them on thier boards for the sake of having them like him wih the gtod it’s there if he needs it not there for no reason the three delays all have a purpose the phaser is for the solo on before I forget it’s all there for a reason not like most modern guitar players who have a bunch and they say yea it’s off most of the time jim is the simplest rig I’ve ever come across guitar cable pedals/switching system cable amp speaker cab no fx Processors no complicated signal path

[@scottay6722]

ive only seen slipknot twice but both times i just remember seeing mick just standing on stage completely motionless in all the chaos and just thinking "THAT is one scary mother fucker"

[@jameslandon4126]

SomethinWild a lot of people who are a bit shy feel more comfortable if they can wear shades. And before you say "this guy goes on stage every night infront of loads of cameras and people" remember that that is a very different scenario. Not to mention while wearing a mask. Compared to being interviewed alone with a camera up in your face. For a lot of people shades help in those situations as a kind of "wall" infront of you and the camera / people.

Jim is such a cool guy. My favorite guitarist!

[@JamesShore1990]

I'm so glad that Chris did this. If it was Perry it'd have been "Awesome, Yeah, Gotcha, Yeah, Awesome, Gotcha" all the time and we wouldn't have learned anything about their gear.

[@andrufriesen]

Awesome interviews, and AMAZING reporting...you ask the best questions without making the artist feel weird about anything, YOU sir, are an amazing journalist, and SLIPKNOT is my favorite band ever, live and on record! This was awesome, thank you!

3:09 PG - "kinda like a squirrel..." Mick - *internally thinking where the hell is he going with this?* PG - "Burying the nuts...." Mick - ".... sure..."

[@stuartmapes]

I love how Mick seemed super closed off and possibly annoyed at the beginning of the interview and by the end he was just chatting away like they’ve been friends forever lol.

[@stuartmapes]

Also, he was really cracking himself up over his condom jokes 😂😂

[@Auen73]

Bout time we get Mick Thompson talking. Once ya get him moving he chats quite a bit. Pretty Cool. Love his playing, what a fuckin Beast!

[@apexstrength3797]

9:49 Mick put condoms on his guitar lol

[@Khazandar]

On his wireless transmitter.

[@jacobucs69]

that whole section was hilarious

[@Vyngraven]

Well ya, he clearly made a joke about it.

[@marcotejada1498]

The transmitters

[@GravyHucker]

What a couple of stand-up, real fellas! And I like Jim's Guitars

[@chrisbose]

35:24 chris throws in a "you know" for good measure, because you know, sometimes you have to reach jim's mindset, haha.

[@SpringOffensiveCat]

what a sweet and lovely voice mick has

[@ryan.1357]

Chris, every RR you do gets better. This is the best one you've done yet. Also, (unrelated) that's a great shirt, what is it?

[@premierguitar]

Nano B It's a shirt for the band Perry Bean plays guitar in-Ill Patriot.

[@gregtisdale8392]

Premier Guitar I used to jam with Perry Bean when I was a kid. I haven't see him in years.

[@officialmetalwill]

Nano B Honestly, Chris does the best rig rundown interviews, imo.

[@skipmichaels6184]

Great upload! It is cool to see how intelligent Mick and Jim are. They are very precise and knowledgeable about every aspect of their equipment. I recently got the Jim Root telecaster 31:45 and it is without a doubt the nicest guitar I have ever owned. It looks simple but it has the best of everything, EMG pick-ups, ebony fret board, mahogany body, and individual locks on every tuner.

[@Beastplayer01]

mick sounds like hes eating a hamburger while speaking at all times

[@niklasevensen7418]

Mick is awesome. So interresting to listen to him talk about his guitars and OMFG that corbon fibre guitar is INSANE! i think im in love
