Slipknot - Guitarist Charged In Knife Fight


Earlier this month, Slipknot's guitarist Mick Thomson made the news for the worst reasons. He was involved in a knife fight with his brother, which hospitalized both of them. While it could have been much worse, Thomson received a stab wound to the back of the head. According to The Des Moines Register, the consequences of those actions are that both have been charged with disorderly conduct by fighting. The brothers were booked and released on a promise they will appear in court March 30th. Both parties declined to seek charges against each other.

After an investigation, police concluded that Mickael Thomson, 41, and his brother Andrew Thomson, 35, were both responsible for the March 11th assault. According to police, when they arrived on scene, both brothers seemed to be intoxicated and had sustained injuries from the fight.

The incident happened while Slipknot are on a break from touring.

Disorderly conduct is generally a misdemeanor offense. Definitely no federal time there. He will most likely pay a fine, have some community service and possibly probation. Worst case, he spends a short time in the local jail.

I doubt that. Slipknot probably have really good lawyers. They don't want him to miss out on the upcoming shows or maybe they will ditch him, like they did with Joey.

How less hilarious can it go?

C'mon, two brothers idiotically drunk, came home, have a disapproval and start attacking with knife. Isn't this amusing?!

Look at Slipknot's Facebook page - people making punchlines, memes and cracking one liners how shit Mick and his brother can react on knife situation.

Knife attack between brothers ia funny news. You should not really avoid nu-metal or alt rock news. Subscribe to Loudwire and wait for funny news to roll in every day.

Other than that, I don't know what you talking about.

Sending brothers away for a drunkin brawl is pretty harsh, they might as well jail people for stealing tax payers money while sitting on the couch watching shitty movies all day and playing on the computer

Crime is crime, its not bullshit crime as pissing in a street , download music, underage smoking, walk nacked in Paris or have a sex in a beath
even this still is not a murder (could be)

You're surprised?

When you listen to most American metal musicians speak, they come across as rednecks and rather uneducated, lower class types.
