This middle aged policeman does write some nasty riffs, amirite?! Songs he's playing, for those who are asking: 0:00 Skeleton of Splendor (Hushed and Grim, 2021) 1:20 & 3:49 Roots Remain (Emperor of Sand, 2017) 2:01 The Last Baron (Crack the Skye, 2009) 2:42 Hearts Alive (Leviathan, 2004)
Here!!!..from land o' lakes,wi....absolutely a fan,,,,old and new....more than I could chew,,,got me out of a rutt on guitar...overcord notes are epic....full sound that you guys use alot,,,,my go to band today..tnx,,,pat
@@JeDxDeVu there's loads of content on RUclips going over it in detail. Basically a dangling carrot but very subpar product and bad relationship building and retention.
In past interviews, he has mentioned that Mastodon-like many US acts-keep a UK/European backline stored on this side of the pond. Makes sense, as freighting gear is incredibly expensive. It may be that his older Gibsons make up a larger part of his 'B rig'.
That Gibson is just for doing ads for the amps. However Bill always plays Gibsons. And ESPs. And I love them both… his ESP double cutaway silver burst is just perfect
I would love to see the entire new album performed live by the band in a studio setting. I can’t really listen to Mastodon when I’m at work, working out, or driving (the main times when I listen to music). They are a “sit and pay attention to what they are playing” kind of band for me. And the concert clips I see online don’t have the sound quality worthy of the songs.
something he says at the end is very familiar to me, "it has just something about it, it sounds great", it is hard to explain, better not to try too much, it has just something, for me it feels like the strings are burning, especially when you hit hard, they are in flames you just feel it! maybe that is the Marshall thing, not just hearing it, more like feeling it.
This is just the Gibson they had in the Marshall room. That being said-Bill still plays Gibsons a lot live. It’s not the guitars he hated, the company was just very obviously in the wrong hands at that point and didn’t treat artists like they should have unless you were slash or angus young, etc., not to mention the products just were not great. NOW they have done a complete turnaround and are really taking care of their artists ESPECIALLY in the rock and metal scene and the products have actually been quite killer. I honestly hope Bill and Brent go back and get the treatment and signatures that they deserved but who knows at this point if they have any interest.
@@randymiles904 I’ve actually got alerts set up to try and find one for me that isn’t super expensive! It looks beautiful but I’m always on the fence because I already have two single cuts and my wife will probably kill me 😂
I imagine the Gibson is what they had in the Marshall booth. Maybe I’m wrong but that flame top looks pretty blues lawyer, I wouldn’t think that’s a stage played guitar.
Yeah, what gives? He sounded like he was done-done with Gibson. I guess if he already owns the guitar he might as well play it. I imagine ESP won't be pleased with the optics of this clip.
The guy plays everything… Helix, Kemper, Friedman, Marshall. I don’t think he cares what he’s playing through as long as it sounds like he wants it to sound… like how it should be. If you got a Friedman, because he’s playing it, you’re doing it wrong (not really 😁). However, if you got a Friedman because it has an awesome sound, you do have an amp that can serve for years and you’ll find new appreciation with different phases in your playing career (or… which is also possible it doesn’t do it for you)….. But I get players that are influenced by seeing their hero play specific gear. In 1995 I got a Dual Recto because I wanted the Vernon Reid Stain rhythm sound… (and I still have it, and I think I actually even prefer it over the Bogner XTC’s I bought later… like I said if you don’t sell the gear you might find new appreciation for it)
Sounds really 👍. Then again i’d probably like his playing through a Spider… Also the people commenting on him playing a Gibson: maybe watch some more vids on this channel and you might recognize the guitar…. No need to bring that ESP custom dc everywhere.

This is the kind of advertising that works on me. I'm always up for Mastodon videos.
Same. Show me Bill and Mastodon, and then take my money.

Songs he's playing, for those who are asking:
0:00 Skeleton of Splendor (Hushed and Grim, 2021)
1:20 & 3:49 Roots Remain (Emperor of Sand, 2017)
2:01 The Last Baron (Crack the Skye, 2009)
2:42 Hearts Alive (Leviathan, 2004)
2:44 that’s part of the intro to Hearts Alive. They haven’t played that song live in like a decade.
Love that entire album.
They actually opened with it when I saw them in Pittsburgh. Great show.
@@randysutton2120 they opened with Hearts Alive recently? Fuckkk
@@shillian4770 This was 2014.
@@randysutton2120 yea I saw that video I just said a decade cause it sound better then the latter.
My first Marshall way back was the same as Bill, 2210... which I also still have, because it's awesome!
Bill is the Step-Dad We all wish we had.
Or the cool Uncle you look up to that plays guitar and has an awesome record collection.
I've been trying to learn the part at 2:01 from The Last Baron recently, so glad to see him play it, sounds awesome :)
Likewise!
I was standing staring at the world!
Long live Bill, and Mastodon. Love you, thanks for sharing🙌🤘🙌
Amazing amp, the JCM800 is legendary for a reason. As is Bill.

One of the best in the biz right there
Amazing guitarist
Ahh the Marshall room was backstage at hellfest too and I forgot to go back after sound check!! Wanted to try the 800 and jubilee.
Jubilee is where it's at. :)
The new Mastodon is killer!
They really know how to advertise the studio amps this is exactly what would’ve sold me on it if i was looking for an amp rn
Can't wait to see Mastodon with Ghost! Hell yeah!!
Great musician and very hard working humble for sure
I’m looking forward to learning too play again .
truly a man of infinite patience and forgiveness, as evidenced by the Gibson logo on his headstock despite how dirty they did him and other artists.
What they do
@@JeDxDeVu there's loads of content on RUclips going over it in detail. Basically a dangling carrot but very subpar product and bad relationship building and retention.
A Marshall and a Gibson... I think he's on to something 🤔
Sounds great! Seems like Bill is playing more and more Gibsons lately...
It'd be a surprise to me if he went back to Gibson. Unless they made him a really good deal.
@@hollowinuyasha01 Playing a nice Gibson is a different animal then dealing with Gibson the company!
In past interviews, he has mentioned that Mastodon-like many US acts-keep a UK/European backline stored on this side of the pond. Makes sense, as freighting gear is incredibly expensive. It may be that his older Gibsons make up a larger part of his 'B rig'.
Is this sarcasm?

Magnifico.
For a cheaper alternative that still has that Marshall bark the 20w DSL head is amazing.
Is this old, or did he go back with Gibson and Marshall? I've seen more Gibson's lately, and less and less ESP's. Even his Friedman amps.
The mini 800 is FANTASTIC
“I love you Johnny Cakes” - Vito Spatafore
Awesome! I love my DSLCR40.
Damn, James Hetfield looking good
Love my sc20 it’s great amp! Bill is the man!
To my detriment, I forge ahead unscarred🤘🤘🤘
Ay yo what ESP is B Hinds playing at 2:32
I so want one and best Amp ever

Example of a good live mix ruclips.net/video/8Mulc_KngH0/видео.html
Playing a Les Paul through a Marshall while endorsed by Esp and Friedmann 😃.
Love it!!
What's happened to the LTD signature guitar?
99/00 First Marshall was the Valvestate for me. Good stuff man.
You should leave notes about how they mic the amps for the video. I'd like that.
Some backstage footage with a studio silver jubilee would be nice to see.

He looks like someone that goes whoooaa-ooo-hoooo yeahhhyaaa
Bill is the man
What about the 4000.00 Friedman sig model??
1:24 Wow, an interesting transition to open 6th string. Marshall is roaring.
I Never noticed before but Bill looks like Big Al from Blood in Blood out
No pinto beans for you baby cakes, nothing but Texas barbecue
@@jMOPS1993 😂😂

@@nastyriffs I understand. Lol I will say that the kelliher model is the best speced Ltd I've ever played. Great guitar.
Bill is looking jaccccked
What??? Isn’t he with Friedman???
What if he swapped places with JH. Would we even notice ?
Wonder what happened to Bill with Friedman
Bill playing Marshall and Gibson? What year is this? 2005? 😄
I've never been a "scooping the mids" type of player. Nothing beats the mids on a jcm800 2210.
What about a hot rodded Plexi or JCM 800 that can be played in home?
I thought they had a great relationship with Friedman (Bill has a signature Friedman amp), something looks strange here
Yeah, and he's still on the Friedman artist roster...
No longer ESP/Friedman?
Bill fuckin rules.
whats the song he plays in intro ?
Skeleton of Splendor
I imagine the Gibson is what they had in the Marshall booth. Maybe I’m wrong but that flame top looks pretty blues lawyer, I wouldn’t think that’s a stage played guitar.
Bill said once that all his LPs are customs so I think you're right that it's not his guitar.
Correct me if I’m wrong…but Bill has a sig Friedman.
What’s the riff he’s playing at the start? Is it from a song?
Skeleton of Splendor
this guy is a decent player
Marshall and Gibson 🤔… No more Friedman and ESP?
Yeah, what gives? He sounded like he was done-done with Gibson. I guess if he already owns the guitar he might as well play it. I imagine ESP won't be pleased with the optics of this clip.

He’s back to playing Gibson’s?
Hearts alive
What the Hell. Isn't Mastodon doing the European festival circuit?
Doesn’t he have a sig Friedman?
Is he done with Friedman now?
I’m surprised to see this. I was under the impression that Friedman treated him well
Bring back the JMP 1!!!!
Sounds really 👍. Then again i’d probably like his playing through a Spider… Also the people commenting on him playing a Gibson: maybe watch some more vids on this channel and you might recognize the guitar…. No need to bring that ESP custom dc everywhere.
Mastodon! Pterodactyl! Triceratops! Saber-tooth Tiger! Tyrannosaurus!
I see Bill and it’s automatic.
literal god
Hes not with friedman anymore?
Nothing beats a Marshall!!🤘🤘🤘
My Kemper does.
@@SHREDTILLDEAD hahahahahahaha hahaha! OMG please stop!
@@SHREDTILLDEAD good one sir!
He pegs the preamp
Hetfield's lost brother
Marshall too expensive charging $3500 for jcm 800 100watt.
What happened with his friedmans?
Probably too expensive.
Keep many coals in the fire.
Marshall probably has deeper pockets to pay their roster
no more friedman butterslax people bought because of him
The Friedman crapped out on him 🗑
🇺🇦💪
is that really what a Marshall amp is supposed to sound like ?
i found that lacking. better luck next time.
Back to Gibson after talking shit about them? I also guess Marshall pays better than Friedman.
His sound is awful!
