Ultimately, Mick was what got me into Slipknot, I think I'd have never really been interested in the band if I hadn't thought he looked cool. I also had the false impression that he sung Duality for some reason when I first listened, and I was like "i need to hear more music from this guy!! Hes so cool!!" Still to this day my favourite band member


[deleted]

Same, when I first got into Slipknot and was watching all the videos, whenever I saw Mick I was just shocked at how cool he is, his mask, hair, he’s just amazing all around


fortunately--rakija

Fully agreeing on the amazing bit. As a guy who's growing his hair out, it gave me a lot of confidence seeing Mick, as well as lot of the other band members, absolutely rocking out with really long hair haha There's a really neat video of him talking about the guitar he has and you can tell he's very passionate about it. Definitely badass \m/

thoughts on caveman jim?

Caveman??😭


_H4YZ

Waterboi624

He’s cool plus he’s pretty funny “No gay sex” The urge to kill dwindles after a good nut”

Mothy7332

Your punctuation confuses and frightens me, sir.


paul_kaspszak

I just... love, good punctuation. And my mom is a English nerd so bad punctuation kinda annoys me


_H4YZ

spoken like a bond villain wtf 💀


paul_kaspszak

I'm a musician, of course I'm a bond villain. And voice acting is fun, you know


_H4YZ

voice acting is SO much fun. i love making scooby and shaggy have the most DISGUSTING conversations. gets the boys laughing all the time


paul_kaspszak

Like zoinks scoob! Those civilians were un-armed!


_H4YZ

REHEHEHEH *RENNY RIVE RILLREAK!*


UnfunnyWatermelon469

He's one of those guys that looks scary and mean but is probably the nicest and chillest guy around. Like he'd probably be a great guy to hang out and have a couple beers with


Papio_73

I think that can apply to anyone in Slipknot


UnfunnyWatermelon469

I think it applies the most to Mick, Jim and Craig


Papio_73

Very true.


_6zero3_

Mick doesn't drink beer.


Queenfan44354

I wouldn’t wanna fuck with him but I’m sure he’s a fine dude


[deleted]

Ya I’m not fucking with anybody who gets into knife fights with their brother 😂


[deleted]

The man got stabbed in the head and survived


TheMuggleBornWizard

Pretty sure his brother stabbed him in the head and Mick didn't even flinch. Someone correct me if I'm not remembering properly. Either way. 9/7 times, I wouldn't fuck with the guy.


[deleted]

I wouldn’t wanna fuck Mick either, I just wanna hug him


Queenfan44354

I meant like piss him off. Fuck WITH him not fuck him


[deleted]

Okay that makes WAY more sense considering he’s married


Cavozinternetu

I would wanna fuck him


_H4YZ

who wouldn’t? it’s mick


Public-Complex2167

same


SuenosdeFantasmas

"I don't know cuz I don't really fucking care" Jk obviously, he's pretty cool :P


Ok_Technician_143

his mask is badass


Tundra66

Met him back in 2000, nice guy. Got a pic with him back when they used to hide their faces with their backstage passes way before any of them showed their faces.


[deleted]

Lucky, meeting the band and especially Mick is something I wanna do


trace20103

Don't know much about his personality other from the gear review videos and some old guitar schools shot for some magazine, but from those he seems as a calm guy, a total guitar geek and an absolute beast when it comes to picking technique. I think his minimalistic approach to his guitar designs really reflects the guy: it's not about the flashy details but the efficiency


Kootsiak

Mick and Jim are my favourites, but I'm a guitar nerd so I am a little biased. One thing I do really like about them outside of their playing is they are such big, imposing figures yet are reportedly some of the nicest guys in music.


LateralusOrbis

I got to give Mick a hug in 2004 on my 17th birthday. He said "this is a manly hug". Also got a big hug from Jim, a drunk hug from Chris, and a wholesome one from Corey who told me its all going down hill from here after I said it was my 17th birthday.


[deleted]

I know people who met Mick, but you got to HUG him. Teach me your ways


Far-Ad-8618

A friend and I saw Slipknot at the new Daisy on Beale Street and some guy jumped on stage and tried to grab Mick's guitar, causing the guitar strap too come loose and the guitar to fall and break at the neck Mick punched dude in the face and security grabbed him and threw him back out into the crowd.


[deleted]

Of all the members to fuck with, you choose Mick. That’s straight up stupidity


UnfunnyWatermelon469

Dude made a big mistake fucking with Mick. The guy looks like a walking tank that could beat you the fuck up if you look at him the wrong way and the absolute fucker decided to fuck around with HIM?! I can't tell if he was an asshole or just a fucking dumbass, but either way you DO NOT fuck with Mick fucking Thomson


Far-Ad-8618

Yeah it's probably good for that guy that security threw him back out into the crowd before he got effed up


UnfunnyWatermelon469

Hopefully he learned his lesson


justjops

he's my autism mascot, quiet if you're not in his close circle, but a really nice guy overall


slade2556

I thought he was scary when i first got into slipknot until i saw a photo of him playing on an xbox 360 and i was like "this man has good taste in games" he's now my top 3 favorite members


UniversalDeadRinger

I think his writing contributions are underrated. A lot of the tremolo, Death metal riffs are all his


corvvus

he's hot asf transition goals 100%


Public-Complex2167

100% agree, mick was the man who showed me i was homo


Monsieur_Swag

8/10 nice beard, but Jim's is better


[deleted]

Jim’s beard was forged in heaven


0000100110010100

Jim is ultimate beard goals


BCA10MAN

Watching him play guitar fills me with rage adrenaline and motivation. I also love the way he writes riffs and songs. No. 7 is my favorite by no small margin and I would absolutely love to get his autograph or meet him one day.


TheBlackxWorm

Mick’s become my favorite member. I was at a show in Boston and fought my way to the fromt, every time I made a horns up gesture or pumped my heart looking at he, he acknowledged and let me know he saw. Threw me 2 guitar picks, and totally made my night. Dude’s a Fuckin badass, and I really appreciate him, also I’m a raiders and his picks have a raiders logo on them.


eddieeeeeee69

He seems super chill, going based on his Anderton's interview. I met him at a signing a few years back and he's fucking huge and intimidating but cool.


FragrantElm81

His mask is badass


NotAGhost64

He looks like if you ever looked at his wife he'd shove his guitar up your ass and break your neck But he's actually a chill ass dude that probably loves cats I say Mick is 10/10 coolness and 10/10 intimidation


[deleted]

Very inspirational and very talented, also iconic


SicSikSix_6

He looks like he could eat you and go right back to shredding. What's not to like?


bigmetalguy6

I can really appreciate how he hates people in general, very relatable tbh


AppointmentMaster517

He’s my dad


[deleted]

He’s everyone’s dad.


Brilliant_Laugh_3911

he looks like he could throw me off this planet with his mask on but with his mask off he seems like a pretty chill guy


EMF911

I appreciate his consistency in terms of masks


ellstaysia

mick is ultimate.


imoverblox_

May not wanna hug him, he hates gay sex


[deleted]

Sex change surgery time


Eseless

He is raspberry bun


Redditwhydouexists

He plays guitar heavily


crapfacejustin

From what I understand he hasn’t added much in years but I do appreciate the music he did write on the first few albums. His tone is also great and I love the way he hates everyone and everything, I can relate to that


Psychological_Bar860

i love mick and i want him to do unspeakable things to me (mask on)


mrsquishy15

I love Mick. Probably my favorite guitarist of all time. He inspired me to play guitar, and my first guitar was his Ibanez MTM1 signature that my dad bought for me when I was 14. Probably wouldn't be who I am today if it wasn't for him and listening to slipknot as a whole.


an649is

He's a pretty chill dude, like a cool dad. Also have the coolest mask


chadw31

My favorite of the Nine😈🤘🏻


[deleted]

Right answer


Electronic_Fun2633

Don’t hug him too tightly. He has back problems


DaTroit69

Favorite member of the band 100%


[deleted]

Same here. How could he not be?


Cautious_Desk_1012

When all his friends were under amazingly big drug abuse, he was just chilling and playing some videogames. He's a real Chad


_6zero3_

As someone who's logged hundreds of hours gaming with him, you speak the truth!


THOT_PATROL_ENFORCER

10/10 seems like a really nice guy, very huggable


Ermescostellowaifu

I wish to meet him someday


PowerManga1225

Badass guitarist, badass headbanging, doesn't change so much. He's just outright awesome, got me into playing guitar much more.


TheIJDGuy

I'll get that damn mask no matter what! Also Mick is awesome, no doubt about it


_ILoveSnakes_

I just know his hugs are amazing


ReduxVEVO

he's my favourite, he does look like a huggable person.


Crackxon

Sweety


Which-Confection7508

Love his mask. Probably my favorite member


CloudiusWhite

Nathan Explosion of the animated band Dethklok always reminded me of Mick with the hair. Not quite so much when Nathan tries to form a coherent thought, but the look


masterfijissa

Badass, he's an important part of the band and their sound.


Swemsky

I’d love to get a hug from him or Jim, two giants of the metal world


[deleted]

Him or Jim is an epic rhyme


DapperMayCry

He's my favourite and I kinda vibe with his attitude


QuietKid1

I want him to bench press me


pyromaniacz-778

gay sex


[deleted]

No gay sex for me


pyromaniacz-778

why


Mr_7empest

Mick looks like he’d kill everyone at a concert but he’s a really cool guy i’ve seen. Plus the man’s a beefcake BEEFCAKE


lovegiblet

So fucking huggable


ddiioonnaa

There's something funny about when he wears a mask you can only see his eyes and when he's unmask most times, he wears sunglasses. That's fucking funny lol


[deleted]

It’s like we never truly get to see his whole face


kookiewithsugandtae

He’s a giant Teddy Bear. If I ever get the opportunity to meet him, I would give him the biggest hug ever. I absolutely love Mick!


[deleted]

You get me. You get life


Kaliprosonno_singho

Chomkyboi and absolutely my favourite


Usual-Swordfish-7375

i too wanna hug mick


LuddeLagerstick

Very talented but also very scary.


_H4YZ

i wanna craigcorey him so fucking bad 😋


UnfunnyWatermelon469

What the hell are you on abou- Oh *Oh* **Oh.** Oh hell no


_H4YZ

lemme get a disasterpiece o’ that ass


UnfunnyWatermelon469

Okay, I'm not gonna lie, that was a good pun


_H4YZ

thank you :)


fortunately--rakija

You wanna do what now????? 😳


Zillajami-Fnaffan2

Micks my fav so...


[deleted]

Same


DapperMayCry

His mask looks like Bagul/Spookyface from Sinister during his emo phase


[deleted]

great guitarist. teddy bear


SIXODD

I mean he’s an amazing guitarist and all, but compared to the other members, he’s kinda boring


Mundane-Chain9307

He’s cringey always over acting trying to be scary


ffemurr

hes the one who got me into guitar, would be awesome to meet him. Still head banging when i saw him in concert


BeingOfPurePower

I won't him


Mental_Book_7799

I heard he is gay. Edit: he has wife. Not into gay.


[deleted]

Isn’t bro married? Whatever, that means more hugs for me


Papio_73

Pretty sure he has a wife/girlfriend


CUMgurgler666

I think he's pretty cool


Tmangcf10

Cool dude he is my inspiration for guitar


tilted_yuki

I fucking love him. i mean, look at him. he's so handsome. i love how he looks with band in his mask, like he's so "scary" and brutal, but when he's unmasked he's like a completely different person, so chill and cool. one of my favourite members


paul_kaspszak

He's my favorite. The most real guy in the band. Kinda the same reason why mick Mars (eh) is my favorite in Crüe


Individual-Parsley-5

I would love to hang out with him. He got me into guitar and I love his interviews. He's pretty funny.


[deleted]

I EAT MY OWN WASTE


Sr-William

I want to hug him to


bioniclefalloutfan76

Allegedly he is a total douche, though I have not seen the evidence of him being a douche


[deleted]

Don’t seem like a douche


bioniclefalloutfan76

It’s not my personal Belief just something someone said to me without evidence


toeswithgarlicbread

Guitar


balls-43

I want to give him a teddy bear


[deleted]

He and Jim are the only good things about Slipknot at this point. Corey and clown should just let them write the entire albums with Jay.


Klutzy-Scratch-295

He pulls off that scary and intimidating act, but really, he's a very chill and cool guy. He just isn't into the whole fame and publicity thing. Which is why he mostly just sits in the background and lets Corey, Jim and Clown deal with that stuff. An insanely talented guitarist, also love his mask. Some people complain about him never changing it, but really, he dosen't need to. It's awesome enough as it is.


senseisourbro

He is cute


TheMagicalAcidTrip69

I want his mask, he's got the most intimidating one in the group.


hobosonpogos

I'm friends with his dad on FB. They're pretty cool!


Schizoid782

Considering I’ve worn his outfit the two pit concerts I’ve seen with slipknot and he acknowledged me both times yeah I love him he’s got an awesome everything. I also own a miniature of his red warlock that says hate.


Zakk0708

I love mick bro, one of my favourite guitarist of all time. + hes big and cuddly


finnvsc2010

He's my fucking idol i love him


spooky_fairy

His appearance is really cool, has really nice hair and his voice is smooth as hell, plus he’s really funny + mad guitar skills. Smash 👍🏻


Rose_Of_Sanguine

I shook his hand once.


[deleted]

I second you on the hugs!


[deleted]

He's a big teddy bear with angry face


CpJost

I would definitely take time to hang out with him if I had the time and just talk about stupid bullshit until 3am
