SLIPKNOT Guitarist Talks About Upcoming DVD

May 22, 2006

SLIPKNOT guitarist Mick Thomson has revealed to Ultimate-Guitar.com that the band are assembling a new DVD. The band's latest DVD release was "Disasterpieces", and at the time it was a revolutionary experience.

Thomson, who was out in Los Angeles wrapping up his five-city Ibanez guitar clinic tour, talked about moving on from "Disasterpieces".

"I mean yeah, that really captured the show at that time," he said. "We always change and evolve. Since then, touring on this record [2004's 'Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses)'], we always feel we have to bring something new. You have to keep people interested, but you have keep yourself interested, creatively. And to us, if we don't feel good during the show and we don't get a vibe off what's going on then how can we give that vibe to the crowd when we're not even getting ourselves. So, that, at the time was I think an incredible representation of where we were at. I'm pretty proud of the way that turned out."

Thomson also said that fans will get a new look at SLIPKNOT, behind the scenes, on the forthcoming DVD.

"Our next DVD that's coming out is not going to be like the same type of format, with just our newer record," he explained. "You're going to get a little bit of that, but for the most part it's going to be pretty different. More backstage stuff, you're going to see a lot more inside stuff as opposed to just a concert performance."

SLIPKNOT are taking some time away and hope to reconvene sometime in 2007. At press time there was no release date for the collection.
