Man those B.C Rich guitars are crazy huge looking haha. when I was 13 I got my first guitar and it was a bc rich platinum warlock because I seen Mick Thompson with a warlock and just thought it was the most metal guitar ever. the one I got was really nice. I remember everyone always wanted to play it, even my friends grandpa who owns a music store. He was really impressed with how well it was made and played which was funny because he's more of a Fender tele, Gibson les paul guy. Sad to say his junkie grandson stole it one day and pawned it off haha. I probably would have never gotten into playing guitar unless it were for Mick Thompson and his warlock.

That's not a Warbeast. That's a Beast. Different guitars

[evans]

I really like this style of video, you should do this with James Hetfield.

The body shape isn’t a war beast the warbeast is a more aggressive warlock and that model he is using a a beast

Mick’s acoustic Ovation 7 guitar is an incredible playing acoustic!

The “Double Rhoads” is a VERY historic and important guitar... I believe it came After the RR model as the wings were already cut laying around... Jackson was making guitars for the Ultra famous Gold record selling “Ratt” ... guitarist Robin Crosby wanted a pointy V, the RR was too small on him as he was like nearly 7 feet tall( Nikki Sixx gave him the nick name Robin KING Crosby because of his giant presence) KingV is named after him, So Grover Jackson glued two of the large Rhoads wings together and the rest is history...

Please do one for Jim. He has so many oddball guitars that are documented in the fret 12 videos

If I'm not mistaken I've seen a video of Mick while they were recording AHIG and he was using that green Ibanez.

[sparky]

The Ibanez Tele was supposed to be a tribute to his very first guitar he ever bought. There’s one video where he shows the guitar that’s not the same one but it’s identical to the one he had. He talked about Ibanez was making him a version and he wasn’t sure if it would be a production model or just something for him to keep as like a tribute to his very first guitar.

I'd be happy to have any Mick Thomson signature guitar, they all look cool to me.

I was at the Ozzfest 99 in Camden. Nobody knew who the dudes in masks that had a percussionist playing a Keg with a sledgehammer were. Lol. They played the side stage.... And by the next month every music store had their album In the window.

Who ever disliked this needs to be burned at the stake all in favor?

5:44 It can be seen on video from deluxe edition of AHIG. It was used for recording songs for AHIG same as MTM20. There's a video of Mick recording This Cold Black solo with it.

I lost a Mick Thomson ovation years ago during a rough financial time. Been on the hunt for one for a while. They are hard to find and don’t stay on the market long.

Sick video! Think a good video to do would be a comparison between Mick and Jim solos. They're so different in terms of technique and sound, plus I think Mick is a criminally underrated lead player.. like wtf is going on during the pulse of the maggots solo 🤯

[chrisreed]

That guitar at 4:36 is actually a Jackson AT-1. They’re apparently pretty rare to find now and only made in the mid 90s. Also the green Ibanez was used live. There is a complete video of the 2008 Mayhem festival show in Washington. He used it on some stuff towards the end; most notably on the only live performance of the song All Hope is Gone. And it was in his guitar rack in a 2008 video of his guitar rig; don’t know if has ever been used live since.

That first Ibanez MTM, i love it!!! To each is own ;-)

[hchoe]

He has a custom Ibanez s with 24 frets. It actually looks slightly different than the current models because back then only the 22 fret models existed. When Ibanez officially introduced the 24 fret s models the body shape was slightly altered to accommodate the extra frets.

i saw a vid of mick using the green rg to record the solo for i think this cold black, and it was in the all hope is gone documentary thingy

[Colin.W]

My favourite was always his BC Rich red Warlock in the Iowa era. I never did like Warlocks but that one looks bad ass live.
