Slipknot's Mick Thomson Reportedly Suffers Stab Wound To Back Of Head

[OmegaSlayer]

I might not appear sensitive enough, and maybe I've never been in my life.
But if Andrew is as big as Mick, the fight would have been ECW level.

I wish them both a quick recovery and to settle every argument they have sitting on a sofa without beers around.

One would think Mick would lay his brother out cold.

Man....now THAT is how people in Iowa get down!

Seriously though, who da hell would whip out a knife on their own brother when they're just drunk?

Rednecks.

 

[Konfyouzd]

Oh come on, like that's an unfathomable thought. Friends and family who are shit faced drunk will always have squabbles, and alcohol just demolishes any inhibitions. I've seen people get into physical altercations over the stupidest of shit thanks to good ol' booze.

I've gotten into fist fights with relatives but I don't think I'd ever want to stab one of them and I hope they feel the same. But at the same time maybe that's a normal occurrence in that family and--to them--not that big a deal.

Has anyone ever seen the movie: The Wild and Wonderful Whites of West Virginia?

 

[wankerness]

Yeah, that's a pretty good documentary.

 

[Humbuck]

So much wacky clueless nonsense in this thread it's not even funny.

 

[Edika]

I'm kind of curious what actually happened as DXL said the media exaggerated the incident (now that's a first!).

Aside from that it seems they're not hurt a lot and Mick is ok so that's good. It's bad when siblings fight and even worse when they end up physically and emotionally hurt one another.

I'll like however to make a couple non serious comments about the photo of the two brothers. It seems that it is from some short of formal occasion (wedding probably?) and Mick still looks all pissed off and metal while his brother thought it was a good idea to go all girl scout with his hair.

You kidding?
Skinnies fight like demons, especially those with psycho eyes

 

[SeditiousDissent]

I'm not a fan of Slipknot, but I can't argue against the massive impact they've had on the metal community. I wish Mick and his brother a full recovery.

Was I the only one who thought, "Who the fvck stabs someone in the head? Oh...wait...that's right."

 

[Cynic]

at least he didn't push his fingers into his eyes.



all jokes aside, i really expected to read that he was killed. what a ....ing badass.

 

[Spaceman_Spiff]

They kinda remind me of...

(hilarious pics)

just sayin...Dat elixir does some crazy shit to ya.

This is the goddamn comment of the century. I laughed way too hard at this.

as youve seen now with the pics, he's small, but knives kinda even the odds...

I'm almost 180 cm, bulky and weight around 90 kg and still I would look like a silly harmless smurf close to Mick.
I've always said that of all the people in the metal scene Mick would have been the last guy I would have picked a fight against, not even with a katana.

I was always used to meeting my musical hero's and towering above most of them it always felt so strange as you think of them as almost larger than life in a way, I'm only 6'3" so not a giant but bigger than 95% of famous musicians I've met.

Anyways I got to briefly meet slipknot years ago (2001-2002ish?) and both Mick and Jim and are huge guys! (both over 6'6"? ) I was intimidated in every possible way...it felt right

So... NOT a guy to mess with.


I'm happy to hear he is going to be ok. Brothers do stupid stuff and fight but stabbing your bro with a knife in the head in a definite

 

[Muramasa]

As much as I dislike their newer stuff, Mick is the guy who inspired me to pick up any instrument.
This happened on my birthday too.
Jeez... I hope the dude's okay.

WHY IS THIS COMMENT NOT GETTING ANY LOVE???

 

[7JxN7]

Considering how big Mick is, I still think he's brother would have to be around 6 ft or more looking at that photo, but perspective may make it difficult to tell.

I wish him the best with his recovery (however big or small the injury is, still not sure). And say whatever you want about Slipknot, but Mick is a very formidable guitar player in his own right, with a metal rhythm playing style that makes me envious every time I see him play!

I hope you never met Alexi Laiho who is even smaller than my girlfriend.

It's like the scene in Johnny Dangerously where Johnny can easily take out his brother, but then right as he's about to lay him out all he sees is his brother as a little boy. Johnny just takes a dive instead. That's what Mick did.
