Mick Thompson is one half of Slipknot's legendary crushing metal guitar section and has been with the band since the very early days of the nine-piece's existence. He's known as an extremely tight player, with an absolutely rapid picking hand and panchant for a filthy riff. The Captain met Mick while on tour with Slipknot backstage at the o2 Arena in London. They sat down to talk record collections, inspirations and thoughts behind his signature Jackson Pro series along with a new amplifier from Omega Amp-Works.
