Lamb of God and Mesa Boogie - Mark Five's on their Tour Bus

[smallfry0764]

I was fucking headbanging at 2:16!

[FletcherHabit]

I knew Jesus was coming back to join a rock n roll band!!

[dusted04]

mark is using the royal atlantic now

[SmalltoFace]

@dusted04 Not exclusively, but yes he does use them, and for good reason :).

[alxdd2]

Who's Lead?

[littlewahoo27]

@alxdd2 there is rarely such thing as a "lead" guitar player in metal.

[fatalbert51888]

@alxdd2 mark morton

[MrConassassin]

@alxdd2 Mark Morton is...

[heero7yui]

2:40 Mark: "We could do the... We could do the breakdown to that?"

Yea right, Mark. You just wanna play the solo. You're not fooling anyone. Lol

[EspG74]

I love how Mark just stares at Willie the Golfer the entire time.

[Onamorata]

I've seen an up close video of the Breakdown in Walk With me in Hell and The "Vomit" riff in Hourglass, but holy shit balls. They are so goddamn great. Love Lamb of God.

[s2ry0fdyr]

so f@*%n' enjoy watching this video...

[givemeajackson]

i want that bus with their amps included. and with the chicks from the redneck vid.

[MrAidanhart]

@ThomasMetal75 yes I own one I would recommend you buy one

[EllasGuitarist]

they play so in sync its awesome

[Heretic123456]

@EllasGuitarist it would be pretty emberassing if they couldnt play in sync

[monox2k]

Any idea what cab they're using? Probably a recto, but I'm not sure.

[JAAM013]

@monox2k it says in the end of the video a 2 x 12 Roadking Cab

[khorlaykiat]

I Lurrrvvveeee them both. They're like Liam and Noel Gallagher together except without the brotherly fights and stuff.

[ThomasMetal75]

Anybody ever play a Mark III? I'm thinking about getting one...

[stick4000]

2 very cool guys. just like flynn and demmel, they are monsters. cant wait to hear the new lamb of god album.

[MadJack122]

"you know when..you start the bit, then i come in with the harmony bit.... " a bit of technique banter with Willie and Mark XD

[cooler911]

Seriously, this is their BUS?!

[TheLedGuitarist]

my dream pedal= LoG harmony in a box

[Dizkonnektid]

@TheLedGuitarist

That would almost be as badass as having LoG in you car instead of a stereo!

[addicted2guitar90]

well after watching this i decided to upgrade from my usual tortex .73mm picks to 1.00mm picks and damn does it make a huge difference!!! i can actually play the vomit riff now without bouncing off a string and missing my timings :D

[TheSAWBLADE645]

Mark is Jesus

[stix471]

the intro rhythm (willies part) to walk with me in hell sounds SOOO awesome. i wanna learn that...

[fluff191]

SHIT!! I am buying one of these.

[opethforlife]

I love the vomit riff \m/.

[SASPython]

@Goth3m3 yeah..but dont put it it that way xD

[MapexRG]

mark five's on the bus

[dannyfollin]

I seen Lamb of god in atlantic city at the house of blues with hatebreed ... i had a blast.

[RealRock993]

"we could do the break down of that"- mark

"we could.......but were not."- willie

"come on itll be soo cool"- mark

huh fine mark- willie

[wafflepanckaei]

Two heads with ONE cab? I had no idea that was possible! I can only imagine that it's panned. Marks head through one speaker in the cab, and Willie's through the other...?

Can someone please explain this to me? Thanks!

[lralbrecht]

@wafflepanckaei its probably out of the shot, they probably just stacked it to make it easier on the camera...

[mogwix]

@wafflepanckaei it's a stereo cab, you've got it right. You can see a mic on each speaker, panned left and right for the video.

[AgentA2628]

@deftim someone else who has noticed haha cant agree with you more. just as long as his fingers dont get slower we will be good

[50Cal420]

thers no chin under that beard, just another guitar.

[MrDoMxD]

man mark owns

[MadJack122]

@MyEverConstantSmile what does OD mean? u on about distortion pedals?

[MyEverConstantSmile]

@MadJack122 Overdrive, actually :)

[justfine77777]

This is really not my type of music, but I dig these guys. They play well, and they play well together. I saw some lessons they gave in guitar magazines, and I learned them, and I liked them. They are top notch players.

[TheMagnumGuitar]

if you are an guitar player then thump up this comment!

[LotusEater14]

@TheMagnumGuitar Guitar players can't spell? :p

[JamesHazBeHaiTyme]

@TheMagnumGuitar If you are an speller then thump up this comment!

[Knuckles669]

Every video that i've watched that Mark and Willie are playing together, Mark always look at Willie's playing. Wonder why...

[Horhayj]

@Knuckles669

Because Mark is the lead and Willie is the rhythm. A good lead player of any instrument will follow their rhythm section for tempo and changes. It's one of the reasons they sound so tight together.

[IIVikingII]

@Knuckles669 On certain hard parts like Hourglass "vomit riff" Mark looks at Willie and not the guitar frets as a part of a game. He plays these parts without looking at the guitar. Willie noticed it, so he looks at Mark during those parts live. They explained it on the Killadelphia DVD :).

[adriansmith76]

@IIVikingII yeah true , but its the subtle arts....

[th3m1ke]

I see that you have the cab mic'd - did you do any post processing on the tracks or is this live audio ?

[AnOddMusician]

according to the seymour duncan website they both use Sh-8 invaders but... it really doesnt look like thats what their using. help?

[johnathandk42134]

@AnOddMusician mark uses two seymour duncan '59's and willie uses a seymour duncan jb in the bridge and a i think maybe a jazz in the neck

[MyEverConstantSmile]

@johnathandk42134 Actually, although his Dominion is sold with two '59s, live he usually uses a JB in the bridge

[johnathandk42134]

@MyEverConstantSmile ah i didnt know that

[JVM410ftw]

@MyEverConstantSmile Actually, he doesn' ALWAYS use a JB in the bridge live.

he used to use dual 59's or a jb/59 set.

now i'm fairly certain he's using dimarzios, or he was the last time I saw them play.

[moneymoney220666]

mesa boogie mark 5  or duel rect?

[polloramirez]

Just like the record!

[ELEMENTALW1]

Lol Mark is always looking and Willie while playing sooo funny facial expressions aahahhaha

[yummpyummp]

we need more people in the world like Mark, theres a lot of hate.

[TheMagnumGuitar]

you got them on the bus i got them in my dreams ;)

[AnOddMusician]

@brandonfishas i was just saying that becasue it seems like a really flexable amp head. idk that much about amps really

[kinsinxs12]

they played together ... idol ....

[AnOddMusician]

can i get really crushing dethklok like tones with a mark 5? it seems more of a krank rev plus or mesa duel rectifier thing

[nellings6]

what guitar is mark using, a washburn?

[TheBlackmetalhead]

@nellings6 I think thats his signature jackson guitar called the dominion

[thepostfk]

@MetalguitarlessonsUK exactly. Willie said it best. "Anyone can play fast, who cares, write something solid"

[MetalguitarlessonsUK]

@thepostfk Well not anyone can play fast, the vast majority of people do not have it in them to practice tedious routines for hours and hours each day consistantly and competently which is necessary to build up accuracy at speed, so no, not anyone can play fast in the same way that not anyone can 'write something solid', some have what it takes and some dont.

Writing something solid is of course far more important than playing fast but if you have a fast idea for a solid riff it would be a

[blablabla01]

I think they`ve played together before :P

[ETSJoshVoxx]

@MetalguitarlessonsUK i guess thats what i meant my bad haha

[IIVikingII]

Mark's sound is ungodly. Damn i wish i was a half good guitar player as he is.

[brandonfishas]

and im WILLIE

[ETSJoshVoxx]

@blubberlips they still shred, idc how sloppy your "technique" is, i believe music comes from the heart, im not bein a dick or anything im just sayin, they might not have the greatest technique or w.e but they still shred and write amazing stuff

[blubberlips]

@ETSJoshVoxx Completely agree. That's what I meant with my observation.

[ETSJoshVoxx]

@blubberlips haha yea i figd as much

[MrDimebuck]

What kind of esp is willie using?

[W3RMINAT3R]

@MrDimebuck Its actually called the "Willie Adler Signature ESP" lol

But i think its a specific custom version of the ESP Eclipse II

[jbabob]

I like the smile on Mark's face when then play. It shows how they still have the passion after all these years

[Jdilanch1987]

@guitaristguy20 Ya I get what your saying about having to put a $100 dollar pedal in front of a 1500 dollar amp. Although when I boosted my dual recto I thought it sounded really nice and had a great character that you just had to have a boost for.

Props on the Engl that amp is the best of both worlds.

[Jdilanch1987]

@petejt

If od boosts are for the lame then you just insulted about 80percent of your favorite bands.

[BreathlessCause]

mannnnnnnnn i should bought one of these instead of a dual rectifier...

[maximus0fficial]

THIS SOUNDS AWSOME!!!

[616xMetaL]

@bEsTiAnLPFaN4evah Not even close! :)

[r3inhout]

seems like they inverted the stereo-sound :s

[ManBearPigInc]

Hi i'm Mark morton from Lamb Of God

And I'm Willie......... from Lamb of God

[Luiggibox]

TEH BEST OF THE BEST!!! Lamb of God!!! \m/

[t0rg3194]

mark looks sooo bad ass. and plays bad ass.. but he seems like a friendly guy:)

[cacguitarplayer]

notice a small but very important fact. look at the eyes of Will and then the eyes of Mark. Who's looking at their fretboard?

[LTDsaint15]

truly amazing!!!!

[skrew255]

Oh my sweet jesus :D

They are probably the two tightest guitarist in modern metal.

[biddude]

cool

[auremetal]

the V is freaking great

[masterfuzzer]

sound heavenly...

[deuceswild76]

tight

[slayer47]

Damn thats tight

[creation23]

This has sold the Mark V to me :D

[Bruntti]

They didnt play Redneck :(

[ABigMuffin]

what is the less expensive mesa out there and has an awesome tone and affordable

[DopeSick408]

@ABigMuffin .50 cal, it has the recto tone and power, with a little more clarity which is always better, or go hunt on ebay for a killer deal, my friend picked up a Mesa Boogie Mark 3 Red Stripe for $400.

[jian2069]

mark morton is my favorite guitarist ever.

and them mesas sound NICE

[alkleiza1995]

epic...

[kingster911]

@thereevesanator ok I kinda thought some of Wrath was Db because I played along with "Choke Sermon" and sometimes it sounded a little off... THIS video I saw on the Mesa website the other day and it just made me shit my pants with joy.

[kaelan3013]

@Irockmyheadoff

Its called and esp eclise they play amazing

[irockmyheadoff]

what kind of esp is willie using ? exact model ?



[mogwix]

There isn't really anything that blends two heads into one cab, that'd be kind of ridiculous, but the cab in the vid is definitely a 212. It could be the road king 212, which is stereo, or perhaps a recto 212 which is wired for stereo.

The cab is most definitely running stereo, as they have one SM57 mic for each speaker, and you can hear that the mics are panned hard left and right in the recording.

[Subliminallll]

Ahh man, two of the best riff writers of all time.

[thanak0rn]

this is definitely going to be my favourite

[Jdilanch1987]

@themaggot8. Thanks for the answer. That is what I expected. Man that's killer tone.

[00NeVaN00]

This video is in Drop D, they all played drop D songs and they sound like they sound on the records.... Mark's sound is badass btw

[Jdilanch1987]

Do they use OD boost? Or is that the heads gain sound alone?

[themaggot8]

@Jdilanch1987 The sound comes directly from the head. There's a DVD where they show their rig and man, it sound kick ass.

[petejt]

@Jdilanch1987 ,no, OD boosts are for the lame

[MyEverConstantSmile]

@petejt That makes 0 sense.

[petejt]

@MyEverConstantSmile you have no idea

[MyEverConstantSmile]

@petejt No idea about what exactly? Mark Morton's pickups?

[AhKillYu]

HOW DO THEY PLAY TWO HEADS THROUGH THE SAME CAB SIMULTANEOUSLY?

can anyone tell me? do they just set the cab to stereo and plug one to left and other to right? no need to change ohms or anything?

[FuriousHamster]

@AhKillYu Exactly how you said it. Perhaps the cab is 8 ohms mono and 16 ohms stereo. But it's just like you said.

[LATX777]

@AhKillYu  that's a really good question if you look at the back of a mesa 2x12 cab there's only an 8ohm in and a parallel'd out, only 2 speaker jacks the one's Ive seen, I'm not a sound engineer but I would imagine there is a rackmount signal processor or splitter that would channel two seperate feeds into signal hence one cab input.. also interesting, check out this video of mark showing his stage rig...

[stefinothrashcore]

That Jackson guitar with the sticker is the DropC# guitar used on tour so in this video they're playing in DropC#

[osamierda]

The last players to do sth original in metal, and cool guys really

[Shyuum]

@thereevesanator

No, C# is the term.

[thereevesanator]

@Shyuum ...its the same tuneing there no incorrect term for it...even if there is flat makes more sence seeing as how your going down a half step makeing a drop D tuneing flat

[Shyuum]

@thereevesanator

I kind of agree with you, but, what If I was in Drop C? Then the tuning would be C#..

[thereevesanator]

@Shyuum well both tuneing names are correct so it dosnt really matter but standard tuneing is more of a...standard haha so id prefer to base it off the norm rather then a exception

[Guitarsthatkill]

@Shyuum It might be a term, yet Db is still accurate since D flat is the same note as C sharp as far as rock guitar goes..

Its semantics.

[petejt]

@Shyuum - C# and Db are the same note

[acdc4life16]

@H3xxl0RxXx there 1 of my favorite bands i wanna see them so badly, how r they live

[H3xxl0RxXx]

@acdc4life16 Awesome, I've been on two of their concerts, one last year in Cologne on their first european Wrath support tour and one time in Hamburg four months ago, both concerts were really good. Their tone is very nice live, probably due to Mark and Willies awesome, tight playing. I was so happy that they played Hourglass the second time, love that song. Light show's really cool too. If you've got the chance to get tickets and you like their stuff, don't hesitate - You'll love it! ;-)

[hoboman444]

Thanks a lot mesa for making this video with them!! I own a Mark V also. I think its cool how Mark plays on the mark IV setting and willie plays on the Extreme setting. I never knew that until now. When (hopefully soon) you do another interview with these guys, ask them if they'll share what their EQ settings are? Its a little hard to make out in this video, but I can see they are different. Check out my vids to see my Mesa Boogie Mark V!

[guitarist8688]

According to Ultimate Guitar, they'll be entering the studio in Febuary, to work on a new album.

Just thought that would be relevant here.

[peg4444]

Talia MAughii!!!!....è lui Autoscuola valconca coriano!!ahah

[AceFrehley67]

"In your words" is one of the most genius pecies of music ive ever heard

[MyEverConstantSmile]

This is hands down the best video I've ever seen.

[Potatoemanwashere]

OMFG... LAMB OF GOD!!! So fucking metal \m/

[hellhammervs]

mann .. i love'em .. best guitar couples everrrrrrrrrrr \m/ .. other than kerry and jeff ofcourse ..

[MrOrion92]

Twice is far from enough! I need to see them again!! Oh and its fucking amazing to see them rock side by side :D

[3441Edward]

@OMGitsAdragon thanks I was wondering if it was either drop c or drop d cos drop c my fav tuning

[thereevesanator]

@3441Edward Its Drop D actually not Drop C...then theres a few songs off Wrath that are Drop Db

[j5rulesguitar6sic6]

@thereevesanator like grace :D

[thereevesanator]

@j5rulesguitar6sic6 yea lol aswell as Reclamation, Fake Messiah, and Broken Hands

[j5rulesguitar6sic6]

@thereevesanator yayyyy :D

[Shyuum]

@thereevesanator

Drop Db? Which world you live in? Lol.

[thereevesanator]

@Shyuum Yes Drop Db Reclamation, Fake Messiah Grace and Broken hands are all in that tuneing

[Shyuum]

@thereevesanator

Trust me, there is no such a thing.

[Ghostofgrace92]

@thereevesanator actually they are all in Drop D. but the songs or song off Wrath is in C#

[thereevesanator]

@Ghostofgrace92 Yea thats...exactly what i said lol

[3441Edward]

Are they in drop D?

[OMGitsAdragon]

@3441Edward Most if not all LOG songs are in in drop c

[OMGitsAdragon]

@3441Edward correction, some of their older stuff is in drop d

[NHK3115]

Needs more cowbell.

[razormalaya]

awesome!!

[bozzi90]

I think this is gonna make me buy that mark V....

[EuphorbusBTB]

You can see they've been playing together a long time ;-)

[tony93666]

"Hourglass" is still my fave LOG song... but man, Mark & Willie are absolute RIFF MONSTERS

[geicowithdagheko1]

Marks tone is better to me. Less compressed. I think Willie should toss the jb pickup in his eclipse it's too nasally

[petruccirocks02]

Damn, that tone is killer! It must be kickass to have a setup like that on a tour bus.

[guitarnoize]

Walk With Me In Hell has such brilliant riffs, reminiscent of old Slayer

[SchecterMusic]

awsome vidoe

want this amp so bad..

[AraGuitar]

sounds like they're in the studio! wow 

[puppetmaster532]

@AraGuitar its because if you look colsely they have the cab mic'd up

[AraGuitar]

@puppetmaster532 yeah, i know, but damn it sounds so nice with just that simple set up.

[HastOsth]

@AraGuitar thats because they have the guitar cabs mic´d :)

[ransisua]

@AraGuitar My laptop can make this sound.

[DrEviscerator666]

Will is on Fire!!!! Never Saw Will On Fire!

[acejcra]

The Mark V is best amp out there. Lamb of god rules

[wubaii]

Amazing

[mrichman]

Can you post the settings for Mark's Mark IV channel?

[snapascrew]

@mrichman at 7:22 full screen it and look... you can kinda see

[puppetmaster532]

@mrichman i dont know the graphic EQ but i have general idea od the normal eq its bass verry low like 2 or 3 mid is 5 high is full if not almost full and rain is like 6-8 i have a similar setting on my roland cube and it sound great for LOG i turn the bass to 5 or 6 for marks tone and 7 or 8 for willies. i also have the gain cranked for both
