Let's make this birthday one to remember.

52 years old (Born on November 03, 1973)

Happy Birthday to Slipknot's legendary #7, Mick Thomson! Another year older and still shredding harder than ever—your riffs are aging like fine wine (or perhaps a finely-tuned chainsaw). From the iconic brutality of "Psychosocial" to your relentless energy on stage during Knotfest tours, you've consistently proven that metal isn't just music; it's an extreme sport.

Whether you're terrifying audiences with your menacing mask or inspiring countless guitarists worldwide with blistering solos, you remain timelessly badass. Here's hoping this birthday brings as much joy as watching fans attempt—and hilariously fail—to match your intensity in air-guitar battles. Stay brutal, Mick!
