Slipknot Guitarist: "Self-Loathing Is A Great Motivator"

Photo of Slipknot

Band Photo: Slipknot (?)

contactmusic.com reports: Slipknot guitarist Mick Thompson deliberately makes himself as miserable as possible when he's recording a new album.

The mask-sporting rocker insists a negative attitude is instrumental to his success, and often likes to contemplate just how much he hates himself just before entering the studio.

He says, "It was always negative fuel and negative reinforcement that worked better for me.

"Self-loathing is a great motivator. You basically have to always think you suck.

"My thing is that I'll just go away and just sit around being miserable and angry."

What's Next?

They really need to put out a cd that is heavy as hell. I would deffinetly get it. Vol.3 was alright but not nearly as heavy as their first cd. they should probably drop the other two drummers and just keep joey cuz he is a really a great drummer. They should probably get rid of the two sample guys as well.Theres not really a point for them to be in the band.

who cares if the cd wasnt heavy....that album is twice as good as the first two musically..also you have to remember that it was a diferent producer than the first two. Ross Robinson just said play as heavy as you can. Bob rock said why dont you try to re-invent yourselves and kind of open up a new option instead of full throttle....I love the sound of vol. 3 and hope they have another sound on the next record

angrywarbeast , it's nice to know education wasn't wasted on you. Such poetry, such thought-provoking, insightful words. Well done you. By the way, I don't care for Slipknot myself but enough people do that this sort of verbal incontinence is as irrelevant as it is laughable. Go and learn to spell, then think of something interesting to say before you come back.

Mick Thompson is far from great, but he is pretty good. Theres some fairly tricky solos on "vol 3" and the riffs have always(all 3 albums) been somewhere between decent and impressive....

I'm not trying to agree or disagree with fans or those who wish Slipknot would vanish....
It's just good theres so many guys in Slipknot to imfluence the sound of the band, because if Slipknot were just a 4 or 5 piece they might have become pretty stale pretty fast.

Regarding post 28 by RememberMetal?

Kerry King, Zakk Wylde, and James Murphy have all used "great" to describe Mick's playing ability.Many other metal musicians have given him praise aswell.Infact James Murphy actually said Mick was a "better guitarist than MANY well known death metal guitar players."He said this in the defense of choosing him for the Death Tribute album.Either way, that's very high praise.

I really hope Mick does a side project when Slipknot takes a break.I have a huge feeling he is way better than he is letting on.

Stuff it.I'd be a rich a$$ motherf***er if I had a nickle everytime I read a post like that from some metal elitist idiot.

I personally dont think Slipknot showed incredible amounts of talent on Vol.3.Slipknot never intended to be a technical band, so comparing them to Death is really not a fair comparison.

I like Vol.3 because it is just a good and enjoyable album.I think the songwriting on it is superb.Good tune after good tune.I dont listen to it to get my daily tremolo picking and blasbeati fix.I have other bands for that.Bottomline, it's a very good album.If only it were their 1st release.Slipknot would get alot more respect than they do.Because their other 2 albums do suck.

To Marauder on post 39, I always wanted Corey and Mick to to do an acoustic album, I'd really love that. Mick can be pretty melodic and Corey has such a good voice. A bit odd expecting that I know, but that's just me hoping...

Uh, sycness...
In case you haven't noticed, there are already acoustic songs on Vol.3 written by Corey and Mick, and Corey did an acoustic song for the Spiderman soundtrack, and 'Danger, Keep Away!' is an acoustic based synth song...
But I suppose that means that Mick is less talented then before because he did acoustic?
And what about Zakk Wylde? In 1994, he released an acoustic southern rock album titled Pride & Glory. And in 1996 an entirely acoustic album called Book Of Shadow's...
But I suppose that made him a worse guitarist overall did it?
And I wasn't calling you stupid, I was saying that the post itself was. ''those ''bad'' or ''evil'' songs like...'' That was stupid, because whether a song is radio-friedndly or not, if it is a good song then people will enjoy it. Who gives a sh** about the content?

I think Rick Rubin was the best thing that happened to SlipKnoT... The First two albums had alot of Furious riff-age and metal... but there was no release to the tension.
I think "vol.3" was the ideal change in that Fury, anger and loathing were all audible and emotionally moving... rather than the album just sounding heavier then the previous.
What ever Rick Rubin did to capture this cannot be bottled, bought or replicated... so i hope he continues to work with them.
Keep up the loathing and anger Mick... I love the results.

Sid and Craig are great (samples, turn tables). Trust me, by taking them out of the mix you would have some VERY average music.....

Part of this bands strength is filling up every possible space with sound. The least needed guys are the two bonus percussionists and they still bring something to the table. Slipknot arent good because of the ability of the musicians (though Jordison is a site to see playing) their good because theres strength in numbers and with that many minds at work they rarely make a so-so or terrible song....

The only thing that consistantly gets on my nerves is the singers hit and miss lyrics....some are very good even original others are spotty or laughable.

Dimebag is overrated. Mick Thompson can't play guitar worth a sh**. His solos don't include actual music it's just wanking. Just fast sloppy notes. He is merely in the shadows of good guitarists like Alexi Laiho, Micheal Amott, Jari Maenpaa, etc... Mick can choke on an elephant boner and die. Slipknot is mainstream Nu-Metal sh**, and you mallcore fa**ots can keep arguing because you'll never get it through your head that Hot Topic doesn't support any good bands...
