I'm sitting with a copy of Guitar World from august 2001 in front of me, and they're doing an interview with Mick Thompson and James Root regarding their (then) new album, Iowa.
"Root used a Strat-style BC Rich for most of the recording, split between two heads-a peavey 5150 and an old Laney." He also said that he was replacing the Laney with a Mesa/Boogie DC10 when he went out on the road, but that he wanted to keep his live sound as close to the album sound as possible.
"Thompson, who refers to himself as a complete guitar dork, uses a plethora of custom B.C. Rich Warlocks and VHT Pitbull Ultra Lead amps."
I remember seeing other printed sources about Mick and the VHT's for sure. Something that also stuck in my memory was that they both used Mick's charcoal flamed BC Rich. He said that it was the best sounding guitar between the two of them so they both tracked the record with it. ymmv
