i cant even recognize mick anymore. hes changed alot over the years but hes still one of my favourite guitar players to this day

[phoenixstrong]

Damn he’s hella more vocal and seems very happy… good for mick ❤️

[NoContext]

Genuinely excited to see what his signature series will be.

[thrasher]

This is legit the first time I ever seen Mick happy and lively. And I've been following Slipknot since 1999. Hell has frozen over lol

[joeyb]

I’ve seen almost every video on the internet of this guy and now I finally know what he looks like

[Jorgetime]

Yep it was wild seeing play Eyeless live with a Les Paul style guitar

[gurusheat]

hes actually a good speaker compared to earlier years, its almost like hes been doing this his whole life all the sudden speaking in public

[williamyoon]

Rare times one would actually get to see a full head and face reveal of #7. Stoked to see what his signature models will look like 😀

[andrewfultz]

I've never had a Mick Sig. But man I swear this time is the time. If they're making one, I HAVE to do this.

[breacher]

Owning an Original Series Horizon, they are absolutely godly perfect instruments. Perfect details top to bottom. His sig will be rad.

I’m replaying like 5 times and still not sure it’s actual Mick or someone else

[These_go_to_eleven_]

Why didn't the interviewer say to Mick "You mean like this one" when MIck was telling him he played a Eclipse on stage the last few months? It does not really matter he was holding the LTD version of the Eclipse because it is still basically the same guitar.
They just call it an EC Series instead of "Eclipse" and the price is lower

[fnxdown]

My favorite Mick guitar is the red Ibanez

[docvader]

I've never seen him so talkative, and I've never seen him without shades before. He also looks a lot thinner. hell, if not for the tats I'd question if it was him.

[Bat_Dad_]

Wow! Without the sunglasses, can’t even recognize him.

[MetalBaller]

The black cherry Eclipse is one of the sexiest guitars I’ve ever seen.

[DarkAngel-qhjm]

he looks much more intimidating without the mask or the shades

[TypicalKid]

When’s the whole interview coming out?

[breezyobeatz]

Last time I checked, I was scared of him, but now he looks friendly haha!

[akrmfk]

He's right, the eclipse/LP type guitars looks small on him 😅
