I have deep respect for these two. They go way out of their comfort zones when creating riffs, and it just shows no riff is impossible with hard work.... and beer. Lol.
Also everything they do on guitar is the essentials you need to master for precise and STRONG rythem guitar in metal and to this day I am nowhere near how they play...I mean as the palaces burn...some riffs on that are just stunning.
I think this is because he has to constantly watch Willie and play along with him. Lead guitarist is a misnomer. They actually have to follow the rhythm player and that is what Mark is doing. He is constantly looking at Willie's guitar to make sure he is in time with what is coming next. IMO the lead is a much harder job.
I always thought the peek at the neck was always a sign of amazing chemistry. But, I think Willie doesn't get enough credit when it comes to the amazing sound of LoG's iconic guitar riffs.
I can't believe how tight they are. I've seen them live too, and even at concert they're so tight it sounds studio perfect to me. Incredibly impressive.
@Narf Like, there's probably a zillion guitarists out there who could mop up the floor with you. You play at this level? The world is waiting to hear. NARF= BARF
+Youssef Assem Well..they're awesome, no doubt, and those Mark Vs sound killer. As for "best", let's make a bigger list and throw in Jeff Loomis and Keith Morrow (Conquering Dystopia), and then there's a couple of guys in Wintersun who aren't bad either :). When you get to the level of these guys who are so good technically, it just boils down to how much you like their music.
I totally agree with you. I firmly believe that Mark and Willie's sound is the best in metal, but it's because I love lamb of God (I also like the sound of the Dominion with the Mark 5). Music is all about perception and people like different sounds\songs etc for different reasons. When you get to your "instrumental peak" it's all about preference. :)
To much of hum I have boogies and evan with an OD in front it has no noticeable hum. But Im an OCD electrical engineer and I go threw everything from Caps to cables lights tvs.
HiLRoy Shreding - Keep in mind that this was a pair of Mark IV's on a bus (generator power) and both amps we're plugged into the same cabinet (likely ground loop). This video is not a demo as much as it is just a cool video with Mark & Willie riffing out on one of their songs for all of us to enjoy!
Definitely 2 of my favorite metal guitarists that are still alive they understand each other so perfect many many hrs of practice and playing together they created a bond there actually my guitarist 2 Mark and 3 Willie my 1st top is Dimebag definitely he helped pioneer metal or today but Lamb of God is my top metal band forsure
Joe Downing Not only am I seeing them perform this Saturday, they're also going to be at a record store near where I live meeting the public, taking questions and signing their new album cover.
Joe Downing me too my man. I'm looking forward to it. They did a meet and greet here a few years back at the same record store,but I was out of town and missed it, so i'm glad I have another opportunity.
I have said that Metallica is my favorite group since 1987. I love Death Magnetic and Hardwired, but Lamb of God overtook Metallica as my favorite two months ago. I hope Randy preserves his vocal chords.
Riffs I see riffs everywhere, god they have a fucking crazy way to play and their skills are so terrific. Please someone buy me a pair of hands like those....
4:15 Best Hourglass riff. Best song on Ashes of the Wake too. IMO. Been listening since 2004. First time seeing Lamb of God was at Sounds of the Underground in Saskatoon in 2005. What an amazing concert. They were the headliners and Devil Driver was the opening act. I was listing to a lot of Fury of the Makers Hand at the time. My two favourite bands at the time started and finished that concert. Still one of the funnest days of my life. 11 am till 1am tue next day. Gwar covered me in red and green dye too haha.
Man its so great to see the smile on marks face as they play. You can really tell he loves playing that thing and the passion for music and composition of it. Just the sheer soul and pride this man has
+Nine Worlds yup, happens to me too, I'm trying to record a cover of Laid to rest and I ALWAYS play an open string or miss a note in some part that I know wont sound so bad, but I don't like it. I guess it takes a lot of time too get it perfect
Mark Morton's tone is absolutely unbelievable. Anybody know of an amp or setup than can get real close that tone? I am not getting a Mesa Boogie amp, they are insanely high, and plus I am not a recording artist, just playing for the fun of it. I recently got a Vox AV15G and it sounds amazing, but need some more brightness and gain to sound like Mark's tone.
In his RA-100 video, he showed his settings and he had his Mids and Treble at about 2 o’clock and his bass was backed off around 10 o’clock or so. You could try that with a boost or a touch if OD in front?
i just got a guitar for christmas and after learning the 1st 1 1/2 minutes of iron maiden's fear of the dark, i feel pretty good about my playing. then i see these two and i just want to lie down in a fetal position and go catatonic
+wishuhadmyname I felt the same when I started. If you wanna learn something just go for it. Most of the time it's easier than you think if you start slowly and get up the speed. In the beginning it helps to have a guitar teacher that helps you get the technique right and shows you how to be more efficient in your playing.
Patience! It doesn't happen overnight. Practice practice practice. These guys have been playing for many years and they probably struggled in the beginning as we all do! Don't go fetal, go rockin! Seeing as your post is 2 years old, how's your playing now? Hope you didn't quit.

hooplah Their amp settings are this Gain - Practice Treble- Practice Mid - Practice Bass - Practice Resonance - Practice more Presence - Practice even more
I love these guys, but it looks like they are going thru their fat Elvis phase. It's not about their looks, I just want them to stick around and keep making great music.
I have tried to like these guys and they are undeniably talented but they just bore me with their "math metal" type riffs. They all end up sounding the same to me and i am a fan of a lot of extreme metal such as Morbid angel, Slayer ,Crowbar , Biohazard, Slipknot , Mercyful fate etc so i dont normally say that. Different strokes for different folks.

These guys have the best riffs in modern metal.
In my opinion they have the best unique complex riffs in the history of metal
@@triskelionkilla7255 agree quite killer riff masters
And it’s not even close
Mark and Willie=one heck of a dynamic duo!
No doubt!
WIllie's hand picking gave me nigthmares
Gives me the weirdest boner
looks like a car crash.
@@hollow3122 What your face?

Willie's right hand looks like a car crash
just imagine stopping at a red light and you hear that next to you coming from the bus :)
Hahaha i jusr did. 🤘

Hahaha you’re an idiot. Ya, loud music for a fucking rock band bus driver is soooo going to mess him right up. Lol
If it was a huge tour bus then id follow them to where ever they were headed just to say hello lol.

its scary how tight they play together
it's called practice. Anyone can do it.
playing this fuckin tight with no drums, no bass, no click takes years of playing together. this is the key to Lamb of God's technicality
Joseph Madden 1:00
@@AbeldeBetancourt If that's your point then anyone can do anything anyone ever did and nothing is ever astounding.
Mario
Oh ya anyone can just become a professional guitarist. Guaranteed since you said that you suck ass at playing.
sometimes mark is overwhelmed at how fucking awesome they sound together.
I like how when Mark is playing he's watching Willy's hands almost more than his own
2:16...the nastiest riff ....love it!
i CANT get enough of it! just give me it in an infinite loop, and ill be set
Wide open baby
Mark is just always amazed by Willies style whenever I see thek play, such a good duo
I think this is because he has to constantly watch Willie and play along with him. Lead guitarist is a misnomer. They actually have to follow the rhythm player and that is what Mark is doing. He is constantly looking at Willie's guitar to make sure he is in time with what is coming next. IMO the lead is a much harder job.
I always thought the peek at the neck was always a sign of amazing chemistry. But, I think Willie doesn't get enough credit when it comes to the amazing sound of LoG's iconic guitar riffs.
They are both leads
Well for me in metal, there's no lead or rhythm, each one of them had a part and a job to fill, and that's a good thing.
Get you a girl that looks at you the way Mark looks at willie
Lmfao
🤣🤣
Best!)))
can't help smiling while watching these two legends
"Hourglass" is still my fave LOG song... but man, Mark & Willie are absolute RIFF MONSTERS
Honestly the In Your Words riffing was my favorite. Most beautiful thing ever
Love my Mark V. It can sound like so many different styles yet be unique to itself. Nothing like it.
Awesome, +VRHB518 ! Thanks for the kind words and rock on! :D
@@mesaboogie same here such amazing amp lovely wide range of tones from lush cleans to crushing metal. Love my combo Mark V 35 amp so good.
I can't believe how tight they are. I've seen them live too, and even at concert they're so tight it sounds studio perfect to me. Incredibly impressive.
dont need no cd player on that bus
Mark is an underrated guitar player. There I said it
Mark and Willie will make fine Jaeger pilots when the Kaiju's rise from the depths.
lmao Pacific Rim!!!!!!!!!!
This is the amp of my dreams... One day I hope to own one
+Angelo Alexander “Dr Anchello” Me too
+Angelo “Dr Anchello” Alexander I bought a mark v with the mesa 4x12 cab. It is a great amp. message me with any questions
+Andrew Edmondson What Mesa 4x12 did you get to accompany it?
Just the straight cab with celestian speakers
If it's a normal head you need a cab. If you get the combo version you don't need one
unbelievable guitar riffs.. no one can do better from this guys...
Maybe, but there´s no duo like them.
@Narf Like, there's probably a zillion guitarists out there who could mop up the floor with you. You play at this level? The world is waiting to hear.
NARF= BARF
@@d.o.9808 Amon Amarth has a great guitar duo as well. Epic as fuck if you like Viking metal.
@Narf Upload a vid of playing some Lamb of God riffs. 11th Hour, Hourglass, something easy like As the Palaces Burn maybe, and I'll say you're right.
their riffs are some of the most complex ones though for sure.
I just watch these Mesa Boogie Lamb of God videos all the time. lol. I never get bored watching these guys rock out! Thanks for the post!
the best metal guitarists duo ever. YEs i dare say it EVER
Agreed +Youssef Assem ! :D
+Youssef Assem Well..they're awesome, no doubt, and those Mark Vs sound killer.

+Youssef Assem Better than James hetfield and Dave mustaine as when they were a duo. Nope. Now yes !

RA- 100 is better
Hourglass is one of my favorites. Willy writes the F'd up riffs but Marks genius makes it all work.
They have different styles of playing, yet they can pull off the same riffs. Badasses
Love tye way they just sync when they start and when they stop after a riff. As if they are connected somehow..spiritually. special special band
Set to fail is one of the best riffin' songs I've ever heard.
Definitely 2 of my favorite metal guitarists that are still alive they understand each other so perfect many many hrs of practice and playing together they created a bond there actually my guitarist 2 Mark and 3 Willie my 1st top is Dimebag definitely he helped pioneer metal or today but Lamb of God is my top metal band forsure
They are average guitarist. Like guitarist from BMFV BVB Etc. The drummer and frontman of LOG are good
just like a beautiful orchestra,, really great tune, harmony, SWEEEEETT !!
I damaged my ulnar nerve learning songs from ashes of the wake. I Call it Lamb of God syndrome. Hats of these absolute legends!
They really have that musicianship bond that great bands have. They are amazing.
You can see why Lamb Of God is considered to be the best metal band in the world today, at least among hardcore metal fans - like myself.
Couldn't agree more brother
Joe Downing Not only am I seeing them perform this Saturday, they're also going to be at a record store near where I live meeting the public, taking questions and signing their new album cover.
Hell yea. Do what ever it takes to go to the meet n greet. I meet randy back in 05 on the sounds of the underground tour..... Man I'm getting old.

In every riff they play I can always here the drums in my head and that just goes to show how important are
this never gets old. i love how mark is always peeking over at willies guitar like a kid cheating on a test XD
When i hear these guys playing so tight together i thing "So thats what it would be like if Adrian Smith and Dave Murray played Pantera" haha
Vomit riff owns!
Riffs I see riffs everywhere, god they have a fucking crazy way to play and their skills are so terrific.
Please someone buy me a pair of hands like those....
Man they serve the song so well.. besides the amazing playing and riffs the writing just always fits so well. Highly overlooked aspect
See that smile on Mark's face when they start Set To Fail? Yeah, he knows it's a badass riff.
They play so tight! Awesome!

Amazing guitar riff in the world..!! Nice LOG..
I love these videos of the band members just chilling and playing
I love seeing all you do I'm a big fan thanks for all you do keep rocking
thats so beautiful to see that they dont play 100% clean. shows me that i dont suck too mutch
+Nine Worlds but still those fingers...
+Nine Worlds It's freaking hard without a metronome or a drummer in the background... :D
yeah true but im working on som,e of these riffs and i dont get them clean and to see that they have ''mistakes'' in it too calms me
Yeah, I know the feeling... :)

I come back here often. I need to listen to their tone once in a while!
It’s just so cool watching them play together

2 genius!!!
always find myself coming back to this video
Been watching this for years, still fucking amazing!!
STILL watching this in 2018. WALK WITH ME IN HELL!!!!!!!!!! Love you guys.

jmcsquared invest in a decent multi effects pedal
Can’t go wrong with a dual rec
In his RA-100 video, he showed his settings and he had his Mids and Treble at about 2 o’clock and his bass was backed off around 10 o’clock or so. You could try that with a boost or a touch if OD in front?

In every video where they play together, Mark is always watching Willie's playing. Shows the level of respect between the two.

Treble- Practice
