Keep in mind, he normally plays this while wearing a mask and a hot, sweaty jumpsuit.
I've tried playing with a thick hoodie and a mask and man its hard. You hardly see what you're doing and you feel like you're going to faint
They don’t play it live , as much as I want them to they don’t
@@monk3__829 dude are u stupid? I was on 6 slipknot concerts and they played everything live. You can hear it man. They don’t even Play in the Same Speed then studio version 😂😂😂😂
@@seanh4058 I think he meant, that they don't play these really hard songs live. I also haven't seen them play Gematria live.
@@monk3__829 are you dumb wtf
Producer:"hey mick..... I forgot to press record"
Mick :"I was just warming up"
Haha
Elite
If I was Mick I'd be smashing my guitar HAHAHAHA
Bro this comment is freaking gold 🪙
No joke, its insane how Mick does warm ups. Once found a tab of his warming up. Dude i cant even play it within the next 5 years lol
Anyone who's tried to track guitars can appreciate how insane this is
Especially having to double the riffs exactly. This is just insane.
Agreed and understood ✌️🎸✌️
Yep
Pretty standard actually.
@@frankthecat1660 you're just the studio warrior man! you kill it, we all suck.
All Hope Is Gone had some of the most technical and insane riffs Slipknot has ever done. To this day. Mick is an underrated master of his craft. His movements are almost robotic. You can tell this man has spent countless years honing his ability.
Guitar-wise it's one of their best records. Not just the riffing, but the addition of solos and more complex arrangements on the slower songs too.
Yes.
I was the 666 upvote ;)
Him and Jim are probably the best guitar players to ever live besides I guess Van Halen. And you have to attribute their skill to actually exploring other genres as children. Metal bands nowadays only listen to other metal bands
This album was when I had given up on Slipknot. I only heard Psychosocial and didnt really like it. But maybe Ill go back and check out the rest of the album, this video was pretty sick
"Mick enter recording room"
Guitar : Noo..please sir i have family..
Bangke 🤣🤣
This comment is underrated AF
Bgsd.. 🤣
bangsat... wkwkwk
ITS AT 609! GET IT TO 666 AND LET IT STAY THAT WAY
Man, I'm sure the guitar needed a cigarette after that...
John Petrucci (chuckles)
I bet lol
metfan4l I need one now
hell...maybe a whole pack
Kkkkkkkk com certeza kkkkk
Me buying Mick's signature guitar: "I'm gonna sound just like him!"
Narrator: "He did not sound just like him"
In Morgan Freeman's voice
@@nathanwilson2626 i was gonna comment this. Like the line from shawshank: "i wish the sisters let him be, but prison aint no fairytale world" :D
Comes way more from the amp than the guitar
Don't feel bad big homy nobody does!
I read this in Ron Howard’s voice lol
That fact that this dude plays that all while head banging is incredible.
Не играет. Самые сложные в плане гитарных партий песни никогда вживую не исполнялись. А под те песни, которые исполняются каждый концерт, можно сколько угодно головой трясти.
he's not headbanging he's keeping time with the backbeat. So he feels the rhythm he's supposed to play at. The fact he's feeling it at normal time and then sub dividing it like that is crazy tho. I try and play like that it's so sloppy and not in time he keeps it so tight so effortlessly. i need to practice more.
They never play these songs live lol.
"Awesome mick....now can you play that again?....i forgot to press record."
Lmao XD
LOL
That’s how you get fired
FOxXyYgRaMpA that's how you get your head split in two by Mick's guitar
I think hed just say fuck you really loud and then proceed to playing it again like it was nothing xD
The guitar was afraid to do a mistake...
Hahahahaha fuck yeah. This had me balling.
😂
Oooof
@@dethkrum13 bawling
LMFAO
His precision, timing, and confidence in his own ability is admirable. I don’t think I’ve ever taken the time to appreciate Micks playing before this video. This is what the art of Guitar looks like when you’ve genuinely put in the hours.
Agree 1000%!!!!🤘 I have been playing since 1981 and this guy is a master player.
His tone is furious!
You can listen to a song a thousand times but watching the musician actually play it live will always be a unique experience.
Agreed i got a lot of my favourite songs from my favourite artists ruined coz i saw them live, listening to the recorded version just don't hit the same afterwards😂
Mick doesnt get enough credit in the guitar world. Hes a fucking beast
I never knew. You just think they play Korn style crap
@Enno I slightly agree with you, but he's very clean, and his writing is way better than the average player. I'd say above average guitarist over all. He's not Yngwie Malsteen or Steve Vai, but you don't need to be them to write killer riffs.
Hell yeah. I remember seeing a bunch of people hating on Slipknot cause they are 'basic riffs'... Fucking kidding me!? People = shit
@Enno i agree
nothing that special about him.
I prefer Jim, his melodies are more memorable and adds feeling to the heaviness
@@tigersinyourlungs btw people=shit one of the best riffs for me 💪 20 years past, and I still cant stop listening this song
I paused it because he can rest a little bit
Not needed
You mean the guitar needed a rest
@@doomrayer1714 😂
What a good person
@@roundNroundRarities I'm sorry, but who asked for your opinion? Ah, that's right - no one.
I'm a beginner guitar player .This video is so damn inspirational that keeps me playing.
When i was first starting on guitar there were no players doing rhythms like this yet. The only guy that had this type of darker more evil tone was tony iommi
of Sabbath. Randy Rhoads tone was not as heavy as this even though he is my favorite Metal player. Mick is killing it here! 🤘
Keep jammin! You'll be rippin before you know it!!
You'll never be that good....Just quit now
Practice practice practice!

@@urboi2252 you mean (sic)
wish they mixed the guitars this loud ONCE ffs
Mick is such a riff machine. Such consistent and strong attack.
It's rare for an entire album to be this badass from beginning to end.
All Hope is Gone: 9/10
It's sad that a lot of ppl think it sucks or is the weakest of their material. Slipknot never had any weak material imo. Well, besides some songs on the new record.
@@yiandroayala looking back at all hope is gone, I realized it’s really their most complex album as well as one of the most enjoyable along with the gray chapter, they both got great guitar work (especially all hope is gone), great drumming, great vocals and overall good song structure.
@@S1L3NTBUTCH3R i wholeheartedly agree. Although it took me quite some time to actually get into the Gray Chapter but now it's one of my most listened-to album of theirs
@@yiandroayala we’re on the same boat. I actually don’t like s/t and Iowa that much but vol.3,ahig and .5 the gray chapter are my favorites.
Very true
I watch this every day to remind me how much I suck
You just ain't practicing hard enough
Lolll
@Darkmvz1 That's so true, even if you play other songs or riffs you are still improving as a player
Well this isn't too hard of a song to play honestly, it's more of a memory test than anything else
Well, you still suck?
his fucking speed makes me wanna sit in a corner and cry...
Me too, I'll bring cookies..
Down picking too! I get tired after 30 seconds
that escalated quickly...
Cookies first.
Ok if only if you bring cookies first.
Love that you can hear the acoustic sound of the electric guitar over the playback of the track as he records, one way to tell how cleanly and expertly he's playing.
The man's technique is just flawless, as solid as it gets.
Mick and Jim are under rated, both are great musicians.
i literally scrolled down to see if anyone else had posted this lol
There are no doubts they are great guitarists. blinded-minded haters should watch themselves first.
I think its that majoruty of their stuff is easy to play.... Diluded, custer, etc but songs like gematria, heretic anthem, and so on are eye openers when you hpw its done. I wont lie I love Jim and Mick but some guitarist are just more technical and as a guitarist I must say it looks good to see fingers all over that fretboard... I listen to slow as shit like whitechapel so there are slower and easier shit out there.... but i think its shit like this that could have people not like them... the metal elitists are pricks I wont lie... regardless bad ass guitarists.
fuck typos my bad
Yes and Im gonna bring in Slash because he is unbelievably over rated
If you listen carefully, you can hear the strings crying
The strings are afraid of making a mistake, Mick isn’t.
That's actually the pick melting.
@@nicolausteslaus what do you even listen to
@@nicolausteslaus I did because I at least want to give you a chance to tell me what YOU think is good music. Cuz it’s probably shit. Just saying
@@nicolausteslaus you obviously don’t know good music
I'm not a Slipknot fan but holy shit is that some amazing playing.
Songs for people who may not know:
0:00 Gematria (The killing name)
3:45 Vendetta
When you hear the actual strings more than the speakers
You know that darling is having the ride of her life
Makes me feel better about my guitar set up lol,
You do know that #1 the cab is in a completely different room and #2 studio monitors are aimed a specific direction based on who needs to be listening to them? When the camera man moves behind him you stop hearing the strings because the monitors are pointed directly at him.
Attack +100
Art and you do know this guy was probably just making a playful joke right?
when you hear the strings more than the speakers what ????
His accuracy is astonishing!
FifaScythi Steve via taught mick
haha bullshit
how is is bullshit? he literally hit every single note & chord with precision? You're just one of those "always a hater" type.
Zac Hansen I’m saying bullshit to the guy who said Steve vai taught mick.
CineManiacs ok
Being the death metal enthusiast that he is it really shines through in this track. Mick is a phenomenal player!
Alternative metal and nu-metal*
@@btz-mxjiin8834 no like he's a fan of death metal
@@btz-mxjiin8834 Mick Thompson is definitely a death metal guy
Tsjuser - Mouth Of Madness
@@johntiter2825yeah, and such a waste of talent playing in a band like Slipknot, Mick could have been a good Death Metal Guitarist in some Great band like Cannibal Corpse or similar
Hearing the strings…. Love it
Being in Slipknot must feel like taking an exam every performance.
As IF they'll ever play Gematria live
Which is sad :'c
Having technically demanding songs is always a pain in the ass to record, especially if you’re quadtracking. You gotta lay down 4 rhythm tracks that have to sound identical with minor differences in placement of fingers on the fretboard and strike-zone on the strings. Now imagine doing that for 11 songs that are about the same level of difficulty to track.
Joe Jane do they quad track? I thought they just doubled rhythms. I engineer/mix/master and produce bands and I've never seen a benefit to quad tracking. I'll have to give it another shot on my next session and see if it is worth it
Not all their riffs are complicated most is simple. If we talking about exam every performance check out Dream Theater and Megadeth
@@jacobsmith1877 Not sure about quad tracking, but I'm aware that there are some places where they have 3 concurrent guitar tracks and they sample the third track while playing live. Not a sound guy though, and may not even be relevant to what you guys are talking about.
I never liked their music too much, but this man seems to execute his riffs like a life or death matter.
He's almost always the one starting the riffs live, and he always executes them perfectly.
Not to mention, his stage presence is exceptional. The size, the mask choice, the violent static headbanging, he surely of utterly importance to the band.
You don't have to be a fan to appreciate or respect a guitarist's craftman's ship.
His crouched down, headbanging pose is as iconic as his mask. If I saw him at the grocery without his mask, i'd never know it was him. But if he starting doing his signature move, I'd know it was him. And probably do it with him lmao
@@tjk21504 lmao because he would randomly start headbanging out of nowhere in a store 🤣
Ya never know man 🤣
You mean execute.
Fun fact: Mick has never played a guitar in his life, but his guitar is just too afraid to mess up
He’s also blind but walls are too afraid to run into him
He's never had a single lesson, yet he plays every song perfectly. And every guitar brands itself with the eponymous Seven, the same that Mick has tattooed on him. Yet nobody tattooed it on him, it magically appeared at the same time as the guitar Seven did.
Geez this could be the next Chuck Norris humour
What?
I keep coming back to this video because of the pure awesomeness displayed. What a riff machine he is.
As a long time guitarist I can say Mick is extremely underrated
Indeed
Prob because he keeps to himself to much. When hes not with slipknot he keeps a very low profile unlike jim who had stone sour plus all his solo stuff he does with fender
How? He's the guitarist of one of the biggest bands right now, how's that underrated?
Than u don’t know metal
@@JoshPerrymanMedia thats called loyalty
You can hear how old school death metal has influenced his playstyle and writing. He once said Brutality is one of his most favorite bands.
Hear some slayer style riffs as well
With the groove of sabbath!
I hear some Morbid Angel !!
There’s a hint of megadeth in the beginning.
Florida death metal
Can hear how hard he's slamming on them strings. He's playing with passion 👌
Man there are certain fragments of this I could probably play on their own but to just blast through all these sections of the guitar neck and stay in time so consistently is nuts to me.
Rivera: hey let's do a video with Mick new signature amp
Slipknot fans 12 years later : OMG THIS IS THE ONLY LIVE SHOT OF GEMATRIA WE HAVE
and vendetta
MrxxSelfxxDestruct haha yes... unfortunately. I'd like to see it live...
Kate Tjuhtina same... sucks they don’t play it live, I think it’s a really good song. One of my favorites
Imagine caring this much about a band who stopped being Relevant when a founding member passed and they just went "fuck it Money"
Any idea why they don't play it live? imo this, Gehenna, and Snuff are the only good AHIG songs.
Watching Mick record “Gematria” and “Vendetta”, two songs which they have never played live, is incredibly satisfying.
The Man gematria is honestly underrated
@@keatonmyers8413 I kinda like it
Vendetta sounds like it would be an all out fucking anthem if performed live. I could see it now, the entire crowd chanting along during the chorus.
Yo gematria live would be best show ever. It would would be a shit show in best way possible.
Mosh pits would be too intense
I don't know how many times I've seen this video but I'm still mesmerized by it every time.
Huge riffs from a guitar monster. His playing is so on point.
You don't have to be a Slipknot fan to acknowledge a riff master when you see it.
That was a riff? You honestly think you'll remember this song in 5-10 years. I'm guessing you won't. Funny thing is there's people in this comment section comparing this carny act to hetfield. That is fucking laughable.
@@dyerseve45 right?? Dude has been playing the same drop D power chords for 20 years.
@@dyerseve45 A+ for your comment being extra retarded.
@Beeblebrox One that was my point as well. As in what riffs? Slipknot isn't known for their guitar work. Thomson is an extremely average guitarist (Root is pretty rad though, and is the one that really adds any nuances).
@@dyerseve45 eliteist alert!

Now that i think about it....
plays like he is too
What has been seen cannot not be unseen....😂😂😂
By FAR the best member in Slipknot! NO CONTEST!!!!
Mick Thomson is a monster musician ! In the studio or LIVE ! The man is a beast !!! FANTASTIC !
As a longtime guitarist, that right hand endurance is a dream. Mick’s got some serious power
Right hand??? AJjajajja....Paco De Lucia had a right (and left) hand bro...and without amplification......c´mon....
He did say he mastrubates a lot
@@willyloops it's totally different style man. That right hand picking is amazing
For realll i dont get it
I mean he's a big advocate for beating off, some would say an expert in it, so that kind of explains it
I met him today in Auckland, New Zealand....
I asked him to take a photo with me and he kindly said yes, such a nice guy.
Tamon K link me to the photo pls lol
I wish I could have met them when they came to Australia on halloween
Wow lucky! I really wanted to see them in Auckland, (that's where I live too) maybe next time! :)
Tamon K lucky
I live in Auckland but I never got to see him sadddddd......
So phenomenal. Having spent tons of time laying tracks in the studio, I love seeing others. Especially insanely talented musicians that I never get to see 🤘
Makes sense why Gematria never played live on stage
It would be badass to see live. So would orphan
Logan Cabianca agreed
"Too much room for error" lol Necrophagist says hello to you
Joey wouldn't be able to do it at the time that's for sure
@@gustanoid I was just about to say that. So many bands out there that play such ridiculously complex music flawlessly. Necrophagist, Spawn of Possession, Meshuggah, First Fragment... No idea how they do that. Gematria reminds me of Cannibal Corpse' Frantic Disembowelment without the harder parts.
Mick needs his own signature line of shampoo
😂
+casey lewis Jim probably has it.... he has a signature model for everything... sometimes when I watch videos of him I get the feeling he has a signature guitar for each song... "oh yeah that one over there is my eyeless signature model with eyeless signature humbucker pick ups and the eyeless signature strings. Oh and my (sic) signature amp plus mutli fx (sic) signature pedal board" that dude is crazy
lmao that would be hilarious
He's a beautiful man and monster musician.
casey lewis I'd buy the shit out of that
This albums will always have a soft spot in my metal heart. It came just a few months after I moved to Canada when previously listening to older slipknot back home. When I found out about All Hope is Gone I had the same feeling as I still do listening to the album. Great guitar work.
Why isn’t this guy talked about more?? He’s amazing!!

+Daniel Williams not good...awesome.
It's literally like they wrote drug like Iowa and cleaned it into a modern album and added a ballad and an experimental song for more fans to appreciate, and then people shit on the album like crazy. that album is by far one of the most underrated ones in the 2000s. it DESTROYS vol 3 in sales, production, riffs, vocals, and songwriting
All songs from AHIG except for Sulfur, snuff and Psychosocial are underrated
@@waldotorres8600 But...Sulfur is amazing.
Insane to watch the person who created an iconic riff play his own stuff. We struggle every day to try to make it sound as close as possible and this man does it with an ease that we will never match. Just think of that favorite sick riff you came up with and how well you have it down, thats him with our favorite songs. Crazy.
Man I forgot how dope that ending riff from Vendetta is
once you beat all of the other riffs this is the final boss you have to face
Hell yeah it's like Mortal Combat meets Guitar Hero 🤣

Dunno, they feel kinda overrated to me. But Mick Thomson is a beast.
You can hear those beautiful sweet harmonics even more with everything isolated
And the haters say Slipknot can't play for shit...
He is amazing but what can't he play even one single time Psychosocial solo/Vermillion solo decently when it comes to live performances? All he does is using Wah with tones of pedal effects to the point that all you hear is noise.. And why is it that AHIG most technical songs are never played live? This Cold Black, Gematria, Butcher's Hook, Vendetta, All Hope is Gone.. Are they too difficult to play while headbanging or doing crazy shit live? I don't know, I love Slipknot but this are questions that I will never know the answers for, those songs kick much more asses than the ones of AHIG they always play.
Tons*
Joel Dergal I admit, he's not great at solos. But you can't deny he is excellent at almost everything else. I heard that AHIG was written in small groups, so apparently thats why they don't play certain songs live. Also they weren't as popular as some of there other songs.
What I meant is that his solos in studio sound great, but he can't reproduce them live, I don't know why, and there are plenty of songs in AHIG that have excellent guitars, I'd say most of them, but they only play Sulfur, Dead Memories and Psychosocial (sorry if I forgot any but I've only seen them playing those live) and it's a shame they don't include all the other amazing and much more complex songs live. I hope they won't do the same with the next album.
Joel Dergal That doesn't necessarily mean they can't play them but they need to put songs they feel would fit into their set. They have a specific standard for their sets so they're going to add songs they feel add to that. Gemetria is a great song but can they get the same level of energy on stage while still executing the song effectively? Probably but they also might feel that Sulfur and Psychosocial can do it better. I mean who knows at the end of the day, but if i had to guess....
Both Slipknot guitarists are SUPER underrated
no. mick only
@@der_embrio6796 Jim Root too
No they aren't
Root was the only reason I listened to Stone Sour. I didn't think so, but once he left the band got blah.
@@prof.vonspooky4562 root has very poor technique, anyone with a good ear could proof my words
I have never been a Slipknot fan. Watching this video, I have no idea why not. These riffs are nasty! I’ll be listening to this record today!
Follow-up: I know now why I don’t like Slipknot. The guitar tone sucks for this type of music and Corey Taylor is not my style.
The guitar tone is too “squishy” for this style of music, for my tastes. It sounds like an Orange amp style distortion, and it needs to be a boosted Mesa Boogie dual rectifier type distortion - fast and tight.
Corey Taylor’s vocal style makes me cringe. I don’t like how busy his verses are. Go figure, Corey Taylor has a lot he wants to say - lol.
These are just taste things, though. Clearly Slipknot is a killer band full of talented people. I’m just going to return to not listening to them.
I respect your respectful opinion, but I love them lol
Respect anybodies opinion, but my opinion is this is the worst slipknot album (the drummer recorded his tracks alone and every member had to follow along and record by themselves.) If that's the one you listened to, try a different album maybe 3 or 5 or the newer ones. Or don't, whatever. Cheers brother.

Dude is killing it!!! I think he's underrated and deserves tons of respect! This is what a total professional at the top of his game looks like!
once i picked up the guitar in a club and i played these exact riffs without missing a note...the crowd went crazy, was magical
then i heard a ring and it was my alarm clock waking me up
As someome who started playing guitar 3 months ago, Mick is borderline intimidating when he plays guitar.. holy shit.
Seeing this a year later how's the guitar playing coming ?
Mick is a big dude and intimidating if he was scratching his ass.
Yes how is the Guitar playing? Hope you’re still playing
I’ve been playing for 30 years and dude intimidates me, he still teaches guitar in Iowa on occasion, would love to take a lesson from him

Now I can see why Zakk Wylde said he always knew Mick could shred.
There was guitsr solos on the self titled but the person who did recording scratched them out
@@logancabianca5432 that because the person who wrote Josh Brainard left the band during the recording process
@@phoenixteargaming that's weird. They should've kept them tbh. Sevenfolda nightmare album has their old drummers work before the other drummer came in
@@logancabianca5432 yeah but theres a couple reasons for that. 1. For a7x, it was best friend that died in an OD incident so the drums were kept as,close to the original as they could to pay tribute. 2. Its way easier to get rid of some guitar solos on a song than drums.
You don't need friends when you have a Slipknot playlist
Mick is a beast! 🤘🏼💋
I love coming back to this video! Makes me wanna play guitar!
Legend has it that they had to cut the video halfway because the guitar caught fire
The fact that he does this song in such a calm manner just makes it more badass and intimidating at the same time
If he was headbanging like he does live, or moving at all, for that matter, it would be extremely difficult
Playing calm makes it easier to do. If you’re tense you play sloppy.
You gotta see the time when mick was playing snuff.
He's just there standing very very still and staring at your soul
Mick é um dos melhores guitarrista de todos os tempos, muito subestimado no mundo da música.
Love the snapping room mic sound of fresh strings being hit. Mick is such a killer player
Slipknot is one of those bands that is so fucking good but "real metal" fans sleep on because of the theatrics and their association with nu-metal. Mick and Jim are some of the best guitarists working today. Mick straight up one-takes this track like it's nothing.
Don't get me wrong, I love seeing other bands live but the gimmicks and theatrics are what really pulled me in with Slipknot when I was younger and to this day is one of the main things I look for in new bands that come out over the years.
They sleep on it because the front man is nowhere near as talented as the rest of the band 🤷

I was trying to learn it but the hammer ons he does are so hard-it goes from like 9 8 9 on the a string super fast
Nicolas Thomas Dude that's a one fret hammer on/pull off
Nightpacer1 as far as I'm aware mick runs down the notes of the A string with hammer ons and pull offs, it's not what he's doing that's the problem, it's the speed and accuracy he does it with
I hope the guitar was 18+.
kenjikent Lololol
is rape legal if she's +18 ? lul
Maybe because it got a pretty good fuck, and judging on those pinch harmonics, it was not raped. Hahahaha.
nope it's only seven
LukeV call him muhammed....
Gematria é muito massa. Mick Thomson é uma lenda 💪🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Slipknots musicians are freaks of nature. Pure talent
I'm just getting into Slipknot, and as a guitarist, all I can say is WOW. Mick is *way* more talented than I thought! And riff at the beginning is fucking sic!
That song was Gematria (the killing name)
Yeah I feel like the band really didn't use him or Jim to their advantage. Now they're starting to let them shine a bit more but on the first few albums they really didn't.
Orange Juice W/ No Pulp mm, yeah. listening to their older stuff vs. new I totally see it. Well, _hear_ it, but you get the point :)
+Orange Juice W/ No Pulp I read that was due to their producer at the time. They all wanted to have some more solo stuff in there but he said no, that is dead... they ended up parting ways and boom
He plays guitar like a boss!
He does that while headbanging during live performances, ubelievable energy & precision
Nah,they haven't played this song live yet.I mean in their concert.
@@HellusRaizen And they most likely never will. Too technical for a concert.
@@otobustutkusu303 which is a shame as I’m sure most if not all of us would love to hear this in concert
This is the band and guitarist that completely changed my perspective on metal. He will always be my greatest influence.
Micks been my top guitarists for years I feel a lot of people forgot about him unfortunately
Say what you want about Slipknot, but you can practically taste the death metal influence in Gematria.
3 Knuckle Productions that was Jim
I think it has more of a machine head vibe.
@3 Knuckle Productions hehe, some of Slipknot guitar riffs definitely got that death metal vibe. By the way, that fast downpicking riff from Eeyore is main riff from Anal Blast song :D
@Jack M Ya profile pic is cool. HE FOCKIN LÄFT DA BÄND!! NHHH: PEERIOD:
Mick even stated "I listen to goriest stuff". That's probably why
I show this to anyone who says " you don't need talent to play metal"
Who the hell ever says that? Metal is one of the genres that requiere a lot of skill no matter the instrument
Nobody says that
No you don’t
@@SkullThuggery okay
@@israelfranco1997 I have heard people who listen to pop, country, rap, or all of the above say that before. Apparently they think strumming the same 4 chords over and over again (country), having someone else play guitar for you without recognition (pop), or mumbling with computer made beats in the background means you're talented. I have heard people say metal doesn't take talent, they are just screaming, metal is depressing, or something along that line before many times.
Amo essa banda 🤘🏻🤘🏻🇧🇷
1:02 love those pinch harmonics
His playing is incredibly tight, All Hope Is Gone has some sic and underrated riffs.
Hi Friends, sorry but anyone who decides to talk Sh_t against Mick will be banned from our channel..
Debates are fine but Uneducated, jealous, destructive and negative comments can be made on other channels. We have utmost respect for this professional, acccomplished, influential and successful musician, including all the others in Slipknot.
Rivera Amplification i know right, i don't see anything to hate i haven't seen rhythms as tight as that in my life
+Rivera Amplification I just don't understand how someone can literally look at him record the fucking songs and think this guy doesn't have technicality and mastery of his instrument down to a fucking science.
+Rivera Amplification SILENCE THE CRITICS BY FORCE!
+Casey Clawson You have no idea what freedom of speech actually is do you?
+DrBrovahkiin Do you think freedom of speech has nothing to do with criticizing guitar players on the internet?
One of my personal Top 10 faves to watch. Dude is so underrated 🤘🏻🤘🏻
