Mick Thompson using the new Ibanez X Series

[themike]

Not digging it, I thought his RG's were tasty as shit though. Also during the last song Jim played a Gibson V.

It was cool of them to bring out the new bassist to introduce to the crowd and take photos with, I'd hate for him to forever live in the shadows of Paul.

It looks alright on him. On me.... it would look retarded. Would rather have a prestige Xiphos 7!

 

[Hyliannightmare]

slipknot...ew

 

[MetalBuddah]

That guitar looks so much better than his B.C. Rich guitars that he had. I don't know if I like that guitar better than the RG but it is still pretty damn nice looking. However...Jim Root's Fender....

The black version he has in part four of this show is pretty cool. Didn't think I'd ever think the glaive looks cool, but it does. Much better looking in action.

 

[TRENCHLORD]

Not a fan at all of these new shapes, but I do like the Icemans and RGTs. Also that older era bc stealth looking red axe posted above.

 

[atticmike]

Guessing he's just playing it live for the sake of promotion.

 

[ShadowFactoryX]

Liked the vid to. Couldn't hear Joey much though

no loss there

Jims Fenders are tits, Micks new X series and all new X series for that matter... not so much. I'm not a fan of SlipKnot whatsoever (since I was like 13 atleast), but I do dig Micks BC Richs and his MTM1s, just not nearly as much as Jims Strat.

 

[Curt]

Not that I would ever really play this guitar, but it looks good for him and what he does.

I highly prefer it to the BC Rich Warlock's he used to play...

 

[Curt]

no loss there

Are you saying that solely because he's in slipknot?

Joey is actually a talented dude. He's not half bad on the guitar either.

I'm not a slipknot fan by any stretch of the imagination, but joey is a good drummer. Better than Lars and what-have-you...

 

[Esp Griffyn]

Out of all of Mick's guitars, his red MTM1s are my favourite, but in no way are those X series things better than the classics like the Warlock and the Bich? Few guitarists suit those guitars as well as Mick.

 

[s_k_mullins]

Not digging the X-Series. I prefer his old B.C. Rich models to be honest.
However, I'm more interested in Jim's custom Fender!

 

[maliciousteve]

I prefer his BC Rich's myself. Even his Signature Warlock sounded pretty good though I hated that stupid inlay. The X Series looks cool on him but I think that's where it ends for me.

As for Jim's guitars. I've owned a JR Tele and it was an incredible guitar, I'd have kept it but I just don't like the tone of EMG's. Would get one again for sure and change the pickups.

 

[Stealthdjentstic]

God I hate slipknot...

 

[Bloody_Inferno]

After looking through those pics with the Warlock... looks like I'm still liking the Glaive.

The Ex Deo LACS looks good too.

Though the strap button on the wing is bugging the hell out of me...

 

[MFB]

Man, I forgot how tasty the "HATE" guitar is

 

[Rook]

I like his old Bich.

Is Jim playing a Flat Top Jag? Looks pretty neat. I hate EMG's personally but the new Root Strats are great.

 

[Diggy]

the tele/jag/strat

the X series

 

[Racerdeth]

Nope still hate it. I miss the VBT. Had I had a job that wasn't minimum wage at the time I probably would've snapped one of those up.
