Interview part 1 (2/2)

[IbanezShreds]

I thought my area was bad for finding musicians... Sounds rough in Korea.

[blew198]

You are a kickass guy love all of your pantera covers, don't worry you will get a new razorback one day .. lol i am a left handed player searching for a razorback on my own.Good luck with the future music thing cheers bro!

[DanteCubit3000]

I have to say that your videos are amazing. You don't need a band, either. Look at Buckethead. He's a wonderfully strange guy, but he goes on stage with a drum machine and just plays his ass off. Nothing is stopping him from his dream of playing whatever he wants, and it looks like you are on your way to having your own great success. You just earned yourself another subscriber. Well done, man.

[Michella019]

I would totally kick ur cousins ass man... Lol. Damn that sucks. Ive watched I think all of ur vids and I love em all. Straight up, your fucking talented. Lol. Best covers I've ever seen :)

[InspiredProphecy]

I love your covers and overall persona. Got mad respects for you.

[GuitSyn7xKim]

Awesome shit man!! I feel bad about the loss of your dean dime razorback! You can buy it online for usd999...?

[t0ko]

i know what u mean by shitty drummers. never showing up and playing it all wrong and thinking they are really good. thats why i took it up. as for the cousin and guitar saga, i dont know about u but for me, i'd give him a bloody good hiding:)

[tintin4561]

lol mandatory army service i hear you man same rules down here in greece..keep up the good work i fuckin love your battery cover

[darkarura1776]

if you could get any other dean guitar what would it be

[137Supra]

im gonna get called an asshole for asking this, but what is the opening song?

[K3NxRaiNsxBl00d]

i used to have trouble with drummers the way u did. now i got high standards cuz of it...

[Grinmaar]

yea man that does suk. i wnna learn so bad .. i think i really wantd to do this when i had a dream i knew how to play PanterA "walk n 5 minutes" alone my heart felt like it was gonna come out of my chest with emotion just wanting to know how to play music made even more eager to play but im still in the process of finding someone to teach me hard to find ppl also here in the united states to find someone as dedicated as u in ur music

[satanryan]

this is great. 정명훈씨 안녕하세요. ㅋㅋ 인터뷰 무지 웃기네요 ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

희정이형의 친애하는 아우입니다. 말씀 많이 들었습니다^^

파트 2 기다릴게요 ㅎㅎ

[ImperoRomano]

Interesting interview, you're a badass guitar player! Greetings from Italy and stay metal!

[bcdon1]

Hey, Mark.. great video. Keep doing your own thing and stay metal! :)

[Emceetem]

You should talk to Hiro

He's a really good guitarist.

He plays alot of van halen though so i don't know how the chemistry might be.

If your interested i could send him a message and see what he says.

Look him up he's really good.

Larsgallows is his youtube name. His name is Hiro.

[mztriz]

OMG. Your cousin took your guitar and never paid you anything! Are you able to talk to your aunt/uncle about it?

[halcyon1871]

(Hi Ava!)

no, unfortunately he's kinda like an outcast to his own family -

didn't even show up to his own nephew's wedding when

everyone else did-I honestly think he needs to get some

professional help and needs to get his life straightened out -

including paying me back(and some of his other family members

as well) money + and / or guitars!! I HATE him and wish to strangle

him to death, but then at the same time, i feel sorry for him and

wish him the best(.after i strangle him! :)

[EvilRazorback666]

@halcyon1871

I would kick that guy's ass.Hiw could he do that to his own cousin?! :O

[changoman]

of coarse people like your videos... ... it has inspired me to try harder! I enjoy watching your videos and I hope a dean will come in to your hands soon so we can see more Pantera.... too bad we can't get a dean fund going .... or have Dean donate a USA dime from hell to continue the Tributes

[metsat8ll]

pantera's floods? i'd love to see that one, doesent matter if its not with a razorback.

[xquickstrykex]

you ever practice metronome? 

[dognz09]

Awesome video Mark looking forward to more metal clips cuz you fukn rock 10/10

[butterknucklez]

you should get the Dean Dimebag Dimebonics ML

its really nice and a great tribute to dime

or you should get the dean dave mustaine vmnt

check em out on musicians friend

[AGNTthrasher]

By any chance do you listen to any newer Thrash/Groove metal bands?

[halcyon1871]

AGNTthrasher,

sure i listen to & love a lot of newer (some old)bands

like lamb of god, mastodon, arch enemy, testament,

firewind(ozzy osbourne) but for me it narrows down

to megadeth and pantera in the end - i guess it's because

the music has been with me for a long time and it's been

'soaked' into my heart a bit more

[AGNTthrasher]

@halcyon1871 I know what you mean. There are bands I listen to today that I know if I hadn't heard way back in the day, I wouldn't listen to them now. I actually just started getting into Pantera myself, and your covers really helped. Thanks!

[Emceetem]

@halcyon1871

You like lamb of god. metallica, blues stuff. :D

If you like Hendrix and RHCP we already have great guitar chemistry.

:)

i need to find me a guitarist like you.

[theemrfear]

you're an interesting person and a great musician. you do it for your self enjoyment and thats why you suceed.it sucks that things are the way they are in korea. im in usa and i think people here relly dont know how well they have it. anyways keeps puttin up vids man i always look forward to seein you play. oh yea next video show your playing more often... please =) that way i can learn hehe

[halcyon1871]

thanks theemrfear !

i love my country in general but sometimes you see these things going

on that just breaks your heart or makes you want to scream - which is

why heavy metal exists :)

some of my most recent videos had 0% footages of me playing the guitar,

but rest assured - i'll be including myself in my videos from now on !

[kurtcobain279489]

Awesome interview, and I've actually met Dave Mustaine, he's such a cool guy.

[halcyon1871]

that's awesome :) !

I wonder if he's gonna say

"why do you butcher my songs with your korean versions?" XD

From what i hear from a concert promoter that had Megadeth

come to Korea a couple years ago, they will hopefully come

to play in Korea next year(2011) so i'm keeping my fingers crossed!

[K3NxRaiNsxBl00d]

@kurtcobain279489 me too

[Andragon90]

I'm interested in the recording tips video. Funny stuff, Mark!

[dbenc]

We should start a donation service for you to get you a RazorBack! If anyone deserves one its you! I think Dime would want to see your vids with a RazorBack. Keep staying positive Mark!

[halcyon1871]

Thanks dbenc, those are really kind words of

you to say :) I'm planning to get a new

custom guitar or something similar with

Razorback guitar specs, so i'm hoping THAT

gutiar will do the job :)

[CluelessNameless]

I was wondering. Has there been any bands you have been wanting to cover and put on youtube, but haven't gotten the chance to yet?

[halcyon1871]

yep bands like fear factory, rammstein ,,,

bands that use lots of techno&synth sounds.-

i'm getting around that tho so i plan to do 1 or 2 some

in the future !

[TheFith]

Amazing! It's great to hear about your insights. I can't wait for Part 2!!!

[AxlMetal]

2:21 "man, that sucks" haha

[heero7yui]

dude your previous band story is my current band story :( especially with the drummer and the covers that take forever :P

[halcyon1871]

so i'm not the only person here who's had to experience that

? haha thanks heero7yui :)

[SamTalmadge]

I will kill your cousin for you :)

[hydr0p0nic]

Did your cousin sell it? And if so how much? Did you get any$? Why did he steal it? Is he on drugs?

[halcyon1871]

turns out he used the money to pay his rent and stuff

from what i know, he sold it for $1900 or so..

i should have known better - besides that, he also

owes me a lot of money. I haven't talked to him in months

- can't reach him on the phone - i really don't want to

talk bad about my relatives, but this cousin of mine is a

big old loser. unmarried and unemplotyed at 40. i used to have a soft spot for him because he likes

music too- but he's a fake it's sad really

[butterknucklez]

@halcyon1871

you should sue him

[holtrax2009]

you should have won that dean guitar competition. the vid that won was lame. Great vid

[varulvorden]

Mandatory army service? Then that would mean most of your country has served in the service. That's a nice populace to have..........

[halcyon1871]

yeah but i think South Korea and Israel are the only real

countries with mandatory services - Germany too, from

what i hear - but at least in Germany you have other options

and Israel pays well and the benifits and morale are super good.

= we S.Koreans have to serve 2 years away from home and

school & everything - because a certain fatass DICKtator lives

up in N.Korea. problem is : the S.Korean army has really LOW morale.

[heero7yui]

@halcyon1871 and Egypt too

[nicolanzarotti]

kill you cousin halcyon, just kill him

[halcyon1871]

he's in hiding right now i can't seem to contact him - maybe the mob got him and he's dead already, but seriously, he's turned out to be a real jerk and i hear these real bad stories about him from people around him (that i know). when i visited him last October (in Japan) - right when i arrived at his little flat, he asked me how much money i had - i showed him my wallet and without hesitation he took some money from my wallet and payed the monthly rent with my money right there

[nicolanzarotti]

@halcyon1871 We have a saying in Argentina... "can not choose family"

dont open the door of your house to this shit anymore. greetings from buenos aires!!!

[EIN771]

thanks for posting - found it very interesting

[Micheltheguitarplaye]

Du bist mein held!

[halcyon1871]

Danke Micheltheguitarplaye !

[domainjester]

"Half assedly" - and here I thought I was the only person on earth that said that :)

Halcyon is proof that you don't need to do well in school to be a great student, excellent learner, good person and enjoy life.

[halcyon1871]

it is indeed vital to have 'both asses'! in life !!

thanks bro

[scarsontable]

Move to finland! We have awesome metal bands: Lordi, Children of Bodom, Sotajumala, Apocalyptica, Moonsorrow, Nightwish, HIM and the list goes on.

=)

[halcyon1871]

yeah @scarsontable !

Finland certainly has some killer bands that rule!

[k33jin]

sup dude , your pantera cover is damn freaking awesome.Heard about your guitar story , any plans of getting another guitar? Maybe a gibson? or shredders guitars like (schecters , esp , jackson, ibanez) ? im planning to get a new guitar , hoping you could give some advice! Peace man

[ImAfuckinTRENDKILLER]

hey, im from germany i live near to lippstadt. do you have relatives here? ive heard that some time ago.

[halcyon1871]

yes @ImAfuckinTRENDKILLER

Lippstadt was a wonderful little town - i have an aunt who lives

there (she's actually visiting Korea at the moment i write this)

and i hope to visit Germay again in the next 2-3 years !

[stridetide155]

love it 10/10

[tnekf94]

미국이나 캐나다로 오세요!! ㅎㅎ

you're so awesome man...

[viddelt]

I really think u should move to the USA... New culture, alot more people, musicians, better options

[halcyon1871]

i've had offers from a few music / multimedia / film schools

in LA - and i just might actually move over to the US in about 1~2 years.

but it's a big decision and i need to save lots of money in order to

get there :)

[dreamsofapollo]

@halcyon1871 I agree you should move to the USA that would be amazing there are so many more music options for you and like you mentioned in this interview there are a lot more garages over here.
