    I met Mark with my 12 year old son years ago. He was so down to earth. My son still talks about that day. He plays guitar because he was such a fan of Mark. We went and saw Lamb of a God 6 months later and the band remembered my son, gave him a signed set list, picks and all the members came over and hugged and shook his hand. They didn’t have to do that but that day they made 2 fans for life.

    It's insane to hear Mark Morton say he doesnt really think about music Theory or anything when he writes riffs.
    "I just play till something sounds good"
    I always just assumed he put WAAAAAY more effort and technical skills into writing such tastes fuckin riffs.

    • @AffixedEvil
      @AffixedEvil Год назад

      As for me, it was pretty obvious. I haven't listened to Lamb of God much, but their music is basically a bunch of groovy rhythms decorated by evil notes. They clearly don't pay attention to chords and melodies. After all, nearly 90% of rock and metal musicians are self-taught, so the only thing that guides them in creating music is their ears.

      I saw Mark Morton at a grocery store in Williamsburg yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
      He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
      I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
      The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
      When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

    playing rock/punk riffs and he is on an acoustic , why not have him use an electric since he is mostly playing power chords...lol. The only parts that sound good on the acoustic are when he is finger
    picking

      There is literally one "metal" riff in this video. You're attempt at a joke is just as pathetic as you.
