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.
That’s so heart warming man 😢 no but seriously it is haha ☮️ and ❤️ bud
Heck yeah man. My kiddos getting into metal now too. Hope for a down to earth memory soon like this one.. keep rocking brotha! 🤘
Hell ya all the musicains I met was like that the only one who wasn't was Kerry king he was kinda of a douchebag but hell he probably seen 1000 kids that day so I never held it against him
That's whats up!!!
Mark is such a good guy he’s just so Different to the world and he’s just a Talented Talented guitarist so underrated along with willie.
Mark Morton really seems like a solid dude. He’s a super star, but you’d never know it. Just a humble metal head. That happens to be a guitarist in one of the greatest metal bands of all time🤘🏽😁🤘🏽
Mark is wicked chill, as are all the guys in LOG
Doesnt seem that chill when him and Randy are knocking the shit out of eachother in the Killadelphia DVD
Sam They were extremely drunk my man.
Don't Think he's a super star but I get your point
Tyler Smith lol. He is definitely a superstar. Love him or hate him but everybody has at least heard of lamb of god whether they listen to metal or not.
3:20 still gives me chills after years
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.
It was the same with neil peart, he never had anything in mind, he would just drum then worked out what did and didnt work for the track.
If you over think it, it will be boring
I think a little bit of music theory can help to improvise and create music. but if you just think about following the rules, you can't express yourself directly.
Sounds like me too with music , And ironically kinda look little him. But would be cool to shoot the shit , Play guitar and drink beer .
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 smoking a cigarette outside MSG it was right before his set. It was pretty legendary
It's normal. \m/😊
Damn I thought he only smoked cigars
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.
Jeff Johnson WHAT? no way this man is a giant ass kid
Bobby Martin same exact story is floating around about Devin Townsend . It’s just a funny story.
i LOVE the acoustic ghost walking intro, ill restart the song 5-6 times every time just for that riff.
I am 30 now and Mark has been my idol since I was 14. He has a style that metal needed. That bluesy soul type sound.
Whose arm is higher:
Mark Morton when he plays his acoustic or Mike Mangini when he hits his cymbals???.....
LOL
Always loved how humble Mark is. Definitely one of the greatest.
When you're a metal head but go to your buddy's house that only has an acoustic..."I'll make it work."
When metal heads play acoustic just looks like electric guitar unplugged with same power chords
@Invert Your Cross KG is the boss for sure
and it sounds fucking horrible
@@iliabashel twat
First of all its a style , its not good or bad, its a style so why comment on it if you don't like it. Just ignore it if you don't like it ! So im gonna go cruise all the brittany spears channels and waste my time saying i hate this ,this sucks. WTF
This is no mere metal head friend, he also great at the blues and probably other genres.
I've seen Lamb of God 3 times and its pretty remarkable how tight Mark and Willie are live. These guys are always in the pocket like they have a built in metronome in their heads. Amazing players and they compliment each other so well.
I LOVED listening to Mark share these riffs -made my day. Thank you!
Hearing Mark say he never really learned chords or music theory makes me feel less stressed about learning them or not.
I am glad I learned to read tab though.
Amazing player, so many iconic riffs
What a good dude. And amazing guitar player. Some of my favorite riffs of all time are his and Willie's. What a perfectly complementary duo they are.
3:16 DO YOU REMEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!
The 21st night

Ghostwalking 😍
when word was boooooond
BARREN DECEMBER 🔥🔥🔥
Awesome!
i love how nice this guy is given the kind of band LoG is
He is such a down to earth chill guy. You wouldn't think that, coming from one of the heaviest metal bands playing today lol
I wish I could hangout with Mark, Randy, Chris and Willie and just talk and play mad riffs on an acoustic guitar.
Don't leave john out ;(
John?
John Campbell, the bassist of LoG. He mentioned the rest of the band without John.
@@agayfuzzypandabear3769 ikr
Shit I forgot him :( sorry John
I’ve never clicked on a video so fast, Mark is my man!
That’s a beautiful Guild D55 you have there! I own one as well and I absolutely love it.
I love how one of the grooviest guitarist is this chill with the guitar neck slopping down like that lmao
I thought he was very fucking genius in music theory by looking at all those incredible passing notes in their compositions
Mark. Bad ass playing the guitar. Awesome
I always just assumed if he held an acoustic it would automatically burst into flames 🔥 🤘😜
how humble is mark morton; it's like he doesn't even know he's a bonafide guitar god
just look at that shiny hair
would u just look at it
just look at it
Intoxicated Daze I looked at it. No regrets.
would you look at that
@@sgfinancial3854 😁
You know how I can tell his hair is shiny? Just because of the way it is. Its pretty neat
@@2010dame just look at it
Everyone settle down about the acoustic thing. He is playing an acoustic because he is doing press for his ACOUSTIC solo album. Damn y'all need to chill.
He could have tuned it at least.....
Mark i wanna thank you. Your the reason i learned to play the 6 string. Love u bro
Even with this Guitar that has old strings and a bit out of tune his playing is so clean.
Goes to show that he ain't just Metal guitarist but an actual guitarist. Definitely one of the best Metal guitar players ever
@@arjumandk887 Ya
@@arjumandk887 Man if I say all kinds then it would be such a cliche but I started with Metal and Rock n Roll and then really got into Blues big time . I listen to everything from Psychedelic Rock to Death Metal , singer songwriter kinda stuff . The only thing that I don't like is EDM and Pop Music . Especially the new age Pop artists. They suck man
@@arjumandk887 So are you. Cheers \m/
That is a beautiful guitar.
I met Mark May 7th 2022.He was so cool and down to earth.Gave me and my wife Autographs and guitar pics.Great guy.Amazing guitar player 🤘
I was hoping he was going to play the rift from ghost walking! Love this dude and love lamb of God. I wish I would have listened to them way before I did.
That's riff still insane man!!! Mark morton is BEAST
@@adamawie853 100% agree love them
first a video of him saying what his favorite LOG riffs are without clipping them into the video 😭
now a video of him without an electric guitar 😭
I’m a simple man, is it too much to ask for these things??
Thats twice they have forsaken us, there will not be a third
The Dean's List YOU GIVETH, I TAKETH AWAY!!!
Only time I've seen him play one of his favorite LoG riffs was in Killadelphia.
Hahahaha was combing the comments for this. Exact thoughts here.
Yes Mark, Ghost Walking is my favorite too
How are more people not influenced by Judas Priest? I was 5 in 1990 stole the tape from my dad and I played it through my Fischer Price Radio. My Dad didn’t even care I took the tape he was proud. To this day, Beyond the Realms I’d death is still one of my favorite songs.
I just checked out moontooth and theyve changed my life, i think. Their guitarist is unbeleivable and its just overall very nice music 👍🤘 i love you mark morton, i love you fellow humans
*Great to hear that Van Halen inspired him*
@Nexures True. It's just great to have this living legend among us
Who’s not lol 😆
Kamy GG even Mozart said that Van Halen tempted him to write music too
I was inspired by Lil Waynes playing.
@Nexures Hell no
Huge respect to Mark Morton and LOG. You wouldnt think he plays Ruin, Walk With Me In Hell, 11th Hour etc... Far from the stereotype imo.
2:16! Hell Yeah! Nervous Breakdown!
Love his wife range of music !! 👐
After he played the last riff, - I said outloud, "That was awesome as fuck!"
❤💯🔥
Nice guild guitar, it's sounds unbelievably good
I expected more play through but I’m cool chilling with mark
2:57 Representing Killing Cycle! Long live Williamsburg!
Last riff was crazy!
awesome video
He looks like Bob Seger in the 70's.
Bob Seger is a cool cat
Yes he does.
I love u mark
Lamb of god needs to get my guitar fretboard. So many new levels to power cord riffs with open note pulloffs
YEAHH!!!
Thank you for that nice demonstration Rock mark let's get the rocking
Aí tem aqueles indivíduos ignorantes que, não compreendem que Música é Arte, e acham que, porque escutam Metal, o universo acaba ali!
Mas quem procura, além de ser um fascinado por Rock n'roll, aprender um pouco sobre Música, abre a mente para ser mais eclético. E isto não quer dizer que vai gostar de tudo.
This is what metal is all about.
I like how he's holding the guitar
First time I got to see lamb of god if I can remember correctly mark wasn’t able to be there due to family reasons but everything was still great other than the audio people didn’t do to good but was still a amazing show
Nice posture with the neck diving
Nice
Cool dude! LOG has roots here in Wilmington NC!
I use to love EVH until I went to see SRV in '82. There was no going back
Ay caramba!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Why are these never actually a person's favorite riffs. Its always like, some random riff from something they sort of like, the first thing they learned, and like the most recent thing they've written.
Woo sick 🍺♥️
Mark! The suede PUMAs are DOPE!
funny..similar story to my playing too. Play it till' it sounds good!
Seeing them with Megadeth in June!!! Come On Wit It !!! 🎸
That acoustic sounds like a broom dipped in horse dung.
@Rupert Hawthorne If he sat normally perhaps his playing would be better...
Guilds are amazing guitars. He’s just playing shit written on electric
@Rupert Hawthorne me too he sounded terrible.
Rupert Hawthorne no it’s the guitar. He’s fuckin around too.
He's playing it like an electric that's why.
Yea that ghost walking intro is my alarm now
Randy Blythe also was into Black Flag. Very interesting how Mark also loves punk as well.
ghost walking seems like an impossible riff to play and he wrote it anyway. love that riff
Mark Morton!!! \m/ \m/
Mark could easily disguise as Mick Thomson for Slipknot and nobody would notice.
Mark is waaay shorter than Mick, has brown hair instead of black, and has a more epic beard. People would indeed notice
Ashes Of The Wake maybe Mark could disguise as Jim
@@calebd4669 Jim is even taller than Mick.
Dude is a fucking God
Mark, you are the man dude! So good and just a regular fuckin' guy. 🤘😆
First time I heard Ghost walking, I lost my mind because it was that good
I would love to see Dave Murray from Iron Maiden play his favourite riffs!!!! \m/
🤘
Guild D55 greatest Dread on the market right there!
I was waiting for Ghost Walking when i saw an acoustic
nice content
would be much better with electric guitar
Agreed but it's cool to see him playing an acoustic
Grandpa's guitar is awesome.
Niaa
Dik chiah..
Umm. It is electric. An electric accoustic
What’s the name of the song at the end of the video. If someone knows please let me know
Ghost Walking Favorite The All time Best Riff
What song in the end?
What riff on the titres?
Mark Morton is someone I'd like to have a beer with and talk about song writing with ...and UFOs lol
Good to see mark doing well. Even as LoG falls apart around him.
He said “I have a brother he’s like 8 years older than me” classic
R Savage that’s classic?
I have a brother he's like 12 years younger than me. Classic!
I don’t have a brother! Classic
@@tosh5376 lol
I have a brother he’s 20 years younger than me. Wow
Me : That's beautiful riff.
My Wife : That's beautiful hair.
OMG that guitar sounds so great ! Which brand is it ?
It looks like it is a Guild brand guitar
Where can I find song @4:08? and song @4:30. Heck I’m interested in them all but no amount of searching leads me to the songs.
Fun
Check out the band the silver thinkers, the 17 million.
They have the best riffs !!
We pick the guitar the same thats neat
Damn. why they dont gave him an electric guitar?
Love this dude! Wish that guitar was tuned a bit better though haha
I too play metal riffs on acoustic guitars all day. 😂
Butter Johnson same. I always write my riffs on acoustic before it turn into an actual song
@@mobilemetal4554 Yup. If it sounds metal on an acoustic, it's probably worth keeping.
There is literally one "metal" riff in this video. You're attempt at a joke is just as pathetic as you.
Please do one of these with Jake Pitts or Jinxx from Black Veil Brides
I cants even look at this grandpas guitars
Its is for dildos
what's wrong with it?
metalocalypse was such a great show
You needs to sweeps it
