There's a few videos of Mick I've seen on the internet of him just improvising (or so it seems). If you want some good stuff from Jim, listen to Stone Sour. He has some cool solos on Stone Sour songs.

1. Purity (unreleased, but awesome)
2. My Plague
3. People = S***
4. Spit It Out
5. Eyeless
6. The Blister Exists
7. Wait and Bleed
8. The Heretic Anthem
9. Liberate
10. New Abortion
11. (Sic)
12. No Life
13. Surfacing
14. vermillion
15. Opium of the People
16. Pulse of the Maggots
17. Disasterpiece
18. No Life
19. Before I forget
20. Duality.

Yep, majority rules Purity is the best Slipknot song.

[QUOTE=flamesofbodom]Both Mick and Jim are extremely underrated since everyone takes their skill from the slipknot riffs. But if you listened to them just jam, oh dude. They both can pull off some crazy stuff. Mick's warm-up involves fast arpeggios up and down the neck[/QUOTE]

What I think is that slipknot critics don't understand that control and good dual guitar work is more important than soloing, Mick has the speed and James has the control, making for a kick as[FONT=Arial]s[/FONT] duo. :thumb:

I couldn't agree with you more.

Well it's unreleased on the new versions of the self titled album, but it was originally on the album when it first came out. Now you can't get it without getting illegally or listening to it on the DVD.

Some people say that Mich's (and James') guitar playing is simple? :confused:

I may be the only person who thinks this, but i think simple stuff is usually the best anyway. i mean duality is relatively simple but i think it is a kick *** song. The choruses off some of the vol. 3 songs could be described as simple but i think it takes talent to make up such riffs that SOUND excellent and are simple.

I like the whole of their new album and think that they have really shown themselves to be musicians. :)

So, do we have a guitarist, a vocalist, and a bassist in here? It'd be fun to do a cover for the Thread Competition.

Yeh if i could record my drums :(.

Don't forget a second guitarist, a DJ, two custom percussionists and a sample/media man. :p

Yeh, This is never gonna happen. Unless we do acoustic songs, Or songs with standard instrumentals.

You got your bassist here! Am doing a few knot songs with the band

you got another bassist right here :thumb:

been a while since ive played some knot songs...just give me the song and a few days...and we'd be set :)

I guess the bass part is filled so i I'll take Clowns part in this shinangin.

well...i could pick up for drums or percussions...but i dont have my kit here...the guitarist from one of my bands took it out of town because we have a gig on saturday...

if i had my kit...i would suggest eeyore...i love playing that...my favorite showoff song... :p

a bitch to learn tho without a flaw

i think there is some family matters that he has to pertain to...

wasnt that performance on conan from a few months ago?

[QUOTE=Metal_Head_617]I wouldn't go so far as to say he is great, but he does lay down some cool riffs and occasionally plays a pretty entertaining solo.[/QUOTE]

Kerry King, Zakk Wylde, and James Murphy have all said Mick was a "great" guitar player.There's probably more metal musicians who have given him praise, but thats all I know of.

Mick originally had guitar solos written in early songs like (SiC) but they were later taken out. he is a better guitar player than most people think.

Mick wasn't in the band during the writing or recording preocess of Slipknot's s/t. They had another guitarist(forgot his name), who left the band soon after they finished recording.

Actually, I'm pretty sure it was Jim who wasn't there during the recording. It's been a long time since I've read up on that stuff though. There could be a book of their line-up changes and it'd pwn Webster's Dictionary in size.

No Mick was deffinetly in the band recording s/t, it was Jim who came along shortly after.
