mick is doing more interviews this year than in the past 20 years

"yeah" -Mick Thomson 2024

Mick looks like the new guy at a job getting his orientation... "Can you start Monday?"

It’s amazing how much micro detail about the operation he has in his head. You can tell how much he cares about this business.

I love how Mick simultaneously comes off as chill *and* intimidating lmao

Finally us Slipknot fans needed this. Hopefully there’s more Mick Interviews to come. Was tired of Clown and Corey get all the interviews

Mick looking like he is in a great place in life. In great shape and more social Glad for him.

Really great to see a local Massachusetts company still doing it all in house. The fact that Larry is able to tell Mick in so much detail about so many of the processes is a real testament to how he must be as a owner/CEO. I can't imagine too many in his position are invested in the minutiae as much as he appears to be.

i'm a 81 60 player but fuck fishman are hard working guys really impressed

I couldn’t be happier seeing Mick out and about exploring and explaining things. Such a sound and musically gifted mind

Ken Susi just randomly popping up in the shop that’s great 😂

Mick moving like the main protagonist of a video game

Mick is my favorite guitar player

Mick Looks good and seems healthy. Glad these guys have overcome the beautiful darkness that gave us Iowa and are still kicking ass. Not really my thing anymore tbh but seeing this guys interview and working on gear makes me so happy.

Guy so passionate and knows the whole process, wow he deserves everything

7 years since I played my first set of fishmans and never went back

Seven continues scary even withou his mask!

I can't get over how different he looks. Mick is looking great. He was a tank just a few years ago.

Okay, I worked at a Honeywell facility but Damm, and it seems Fishman Headquarters, rivals that! Simply amazing! Thanks for the tour.

Love seeing mick alot more these days. He kept his kayfabe up for years and years! 😂

Wow, what an operation! State of the art! Thank you, Larry Fishman, for the tour and explaining things for us super nerds.

Mick Thompson is by far my favorite guitar player of all time!!!! He is like the undertaker at this point! A person who rarely did interviews but now is doing them all the time!!!! lets get a slipknot podcast shall we!

This is absolutely incredible. I never could have imagined how much detail and machinery goes into the manufacturing process. Very cool video.

So cool! What an awesome American company. Congrats on all of the hard work, ingenuity and success Larry, you guys are crushing it!

Loving all these Mick appearances. He is a Legend 🔥🔥🔥

Fucking love Mr. Seven so much. He's just so fucking hot. And badass as hell.

To be a Parker Fly on that wall

Very impressed with the knowledge of Mr. Fishman. I know the amount of time it took (and continues to take) to get these work centers operating as I have experience as an EE designing hardware and software to test US military avionics. I salute you Mr. Fishman!

damn mick looks great. dude lost a ton of weight.

Need Mick Thompson Fishman Fluence Modern For 7 String Please

I never got into fishman, but my best friend, and long time band member loves to play fishman pickups, all types, inside sound boxes, holes, under bridges, saddles, whatever.

Best recommendation from KZfaq 😊 thanks you

this is incredible what goes on to make the "shit" we play..amazing stuff. RESPECT IT!

Cool to see Ken Susi in here too!

We needed a Ken Suzi/Mick Thomson shred off, come on missed opportunity!! 🤘😃🤘

So cool!

Mick nailed it with Fishman having to make stuff in order to make stuff. When you're out there on the bleeding edge of development, there is little that is "off the shelf". I come from a plastics background and them making their own piezoelectric sheets blew my mind. It also makes me weirdly happy that they use a Parker Fly to test the amps with.

Very impressive company, take lots of attention to the details to ensure the quality of their products.

Best guitarist ever getting a tour of a really cool company

🤘

I'm frankly a little surprised fishman hasn't ventured into High-gain amps yet. Larry seams to be really cool, and I bet he and his team could come up with something that is as game changing for amps, as the fluence line was for pickups.

My fav Slipknot's member since day 1

Mick looks fuckin awesome

The best pickups!

Professor Vegapunk is making pick ups now, he's 500 years ahead of us ! This is mesmerizing and fascinating !

Legend in the room KEN SUSI

I dont usually want to talk about apperance, but Mike lost some weight? He looks good! I love these technical stuff! The minds behind smart technology how much r&d it takes too put it to the next level.

Just had my Mick signature Fishmans installed yesterday at Rudy’s in NYC. They totally rip 👌

Unreal

Very impressive facility, guys.

Very interesting.

Mr Fishman is a cool dude 👍 I have the Yellow Charvel Satchel with the stock pickups they sound great !

Fairly recently became a Fishman convert after years and years of being frustrated with the inconsitencies between identical models of other well known brand pickups across the price ranges. I bought a Solar with some Fishman Moderns and thought they were a little too busy sounding for me but was close to the right direction so took a punt on a pair of Classics and they're literally perfect. The exact sort of tone I've been chasing for years. I've got them in 3 of my main guitars now and another one has a Devin Townsend set.. Cannot speak any more highly of these guys, their products and their attention to tonal detail.

seeing mick without a mask and doing normal human things is like seeing Jason or Micheal myers on their days off. more mick interviews always

Insane manufacturing process.

Mick 🤘🏾🖤🇧🇷

I love my Modern Hubs. If they release Mick's for a 7-string, I will buy them immediately.

Coincidentally, I stopped by my storage unit (the day this video was posted) and I found a Fishman acoustic pickup, that I forgot about. The thing is nice, bobbins are wood or faux-wood, either way, quality stuff and it sounds great. I haven't used any of the newer, Fluence stuff, and I have some guitars that need PUP upgrades, so....I'll look into it 🤘

OG Slipknot soundtrack, perfect soundtrack!

When i watch videos like this about how much thought, work, and detail are actually put into not only making guitars/pickups/amps but to make sure that they stay working is crazy. It honestly makes me respect and love guitars even more just by the sure amount of work and care that goes into it. It also makes me wonder that how do some of these Lutherans(I believe is the name of them) feel when they put all that hard work and dedication into creating something like that only to watch diva celebrities smash said work on stage just for sh*ts and or giggles lol. Like I know a lot either don't care or don't even know. But I know that there are some out there who do though. But this can also be said about other things as well though.

For the end of line testing I would recommend Schleich testing equipment. German Company specialized in coil testing.

Nice to see Mick taking time off his Stargate SG1 special ops job.

That's some very cool video! Dude are those smaller doors ? Mick almost hit his head!

My man Seven is fit!

🙏🙏🤘🤘🎸🎸

Interesting to see the use of the regular i3 Prusa printers at use.

Love Mick's Ozempic face

It’s cool, to see things so more precise. And the whole organic kinda thing is cool, but they are making sure everything works and sounds the same as intended. I dig it ver very much. It’s cool to go and do things by hand, but I would get really upset paying a lot for something that doesn’t sound or feel good. Love it. Bought my first set of pick ups from them for a crappy feels good tele I was making into a Frankenstein. Got the Greg pick ups on there, wooo! They rock man, even use em for metal. Dumb to put more expensive pickups in a guitar that cost less, right?😂 idk. It’s one of my favorites, and has to do with those pickups.

17:40 That guy listen to Slipknot. 100%

That man cares about his craft, I don’t even play guitar and I’m gonna buy something from his company lol.

I'm just shocked that a pickup company is able to do so well in these times of the digital era. This is a major operation.

Dude is half his former size now.

Ken Susi❤

Andover, MA?

A wild Ken Susi appeared

I always found this stuff to be deeply interesting but I wasn't aloud to take craft and design in school (class sizes). I did all my own work on my basses up to current day but never found an open in a company like this in Scotland. Sad

Add solderless and you would sell a ton more.

Viking Voice man

17:18 Ken Susi ?

Ozempic looks good on Mick

If I toured the factory myself I would swipe that big machine on the floor at 1:37 or maybe those Thinkpads sitting on the self at 18:03, the guy in the same room has a nice Thinkpad model too.

I want the ninja throwing star pickup now 😂

I wear sunglasses indoors too

Idk what a Fishman is, but i do know what a Mick Thomson is.

Micks on that Ozempic!! 😂😂

Why is Ken Susi there too?

very serious production department. i can see where the cost comes from

Still waiting on p and j bass pickups

Mick really doesn't want to show his eyes 😅

Wait at time 17.18 I know that guy from Worcester palladium. Why do I know him?

Idk why but when Mick said “Golf clubs?” all I could think of was Jim Carrey going “Big Gulps huh?”

I wish I didnt drop out of engineering school. I has no idea I could've been doing something like this

seems very complex and expensive but why slipknot's mick is here?

don't know much about them but as an engineer I can tell that this is not a 100% clean factory, you can see how much passion is into it and how much he knows about every machine, also pretty impressive the prototyping. Don't know special shit just prusa and go for it.

Homies voice is deeper and more sinister than Mick's 😂 threw me off first half of the video

BAGUL Signature Humbucking pickups by Fishman

yolda görsem tanımam, oysa ki severim.

17:15 A wild Ken Susi appears
