Whoever this awesome guy is... Mark needs to know of his existence. He looks like Mark, has the same techniques, same gears, same tattoos and same hair length... Periphery needs to see this guy’s cover
Mark, that bluesy double stop at 00:36? Amazing. No vocal track sure helps it all stand out. There's a lot of variety just in that verse alone. Well done.
This song is so well put together. Even though there are about a billion riffs that sound completely different, it feels cohesive. Excellent work Periphery.
I just can't understand why would someone dislike this already. What's wrong? Jealousy? Literally there's nothing bad to not like. The album is already a highlight of periphery and this song is one of the most historical pieces this band has ever put out..
Honestly I think that its my favorite riff from everything I heard in music so far, its heavy, it begins with some dark ambience, gets kind of rock n roll and blends into an epic chord progression, you have this conversation between the low and high note parts, chord and note choices are absolutely brilliant, rhythm is outstanding, it fits the song perfectly and its somehow not too over the top, you can still have vocals and drums over it and they wont be drowned. All in all, an absolutely amazing riff, not even the best work from riffmasters like Tim Henson can compare, its just wow
I bought your pickups and never knew who you were. Shame on me. These riffs are awesome! Subscribed. Thanks for designing the Seymour Duncan’s. Cheers mate!
Mark is such an incredible guitar player... I mean... that’s obvious... but god damn, he is so versatile and his riffs are out of this worlds. I wonder what his main influence was and _when_ he started writing these kinds of riffs.. brilliant. My Holcomb SE is one of my babies
I've been a fan for a while and it blows me away every time I see mark play. it's just so mechanically insane that it makes me want to headbang my way into a hospital
Sick! Just, f*kin SICK! I would LOVE a guitar tutorial video from one of you guys explaining how things like the riff at 3:14. Always wanted to know how those little chaotic runs work.
@@therobforte957 yeah, I think that's it. I think it should be playable using a 7 string tuned to Drop G. It would be exactly that tuning plus the low D
Mark, it was great to see you at the Gearfest on Friday and thanks a lot for signing my guitar. I played it all day long on Saturday. I love the playing in this video, very inspirational. I will come to Chicago on Sep 17 to see you guys on stage.
LOVE the classic rock inspired riffs in this track fuck yes I need to hear more of that from periphery. Spencer has the perfect voice for a classic rock inspired track as well.
Ok so there’s this girl in my English class that literally looks exactly like mark but if his face was planted onto a high school freshman and it bothers me how much y’all look alike Oh and great job on this symphony of a song too
@@blakekillganon846 Polaris sound like shit, I know quite a few people who know them IRL, whether it's through mutual friends or working with them, apparently they're REALLY up themselves for the most part, I also saw them years back totally ignore all their fans reaching out to talk to them a couple years ago outside a venue, then they tried speaking to me, someone who doesn't like their music? Zero respect for them in the slightest
I like how the amp starts out in front then Mark takes the lead, it's neck & neck throughout but finally the amp wins. The music suits the race too. Well played! #guitarolympics
Will Vaughn 6.3 yeah I’ve learned both Prayer Position and Scarlet all the way through. This one is a little crazy. Still haven’t learned the whole thing
Damn Mark's riffs are tasty... I love those weird chords he uses... And his technique is beautiful... Going up and down that fretboard and just throwing in those fingerbender chords with that speed... It's very Randy Rhoads..
I have no words! Every guitar age has its understated genius; go ask a kid who Larry Carlton is! For me Holcomb is this guitar age's understated genius. Low key mahfkn assassin!
I discovered Periphery days after Michael Jackson died ironically enough. Watching a lot of his videos to remember him and dealing with the lost at that time, and randomly a video of an MJ cover popped up from Misha. been hooked ever since!!!! hahaha!!! 10 years!
Here's something sorta funny. Go look up the interactive tab on ultimate guitar (possibly other sites too), one that will play the tab. Start the video. Then at just the right moment (about 0:10 right when the guitar comes in), hit play on the tab so the video and tab are synced. Now, for the fun part. Mute the video (but not the tab) and watch Mark play midi guitar. :) The tab is perfectly synced for the entire video. Kinda hilarious... or at least mildly amusing late at night. :)
I feel like mark is the best riff writer in periphery, but I think that misha is slightly better of a technical player and writes better solo’s, but everyone cuts it close to each other in this band which is what makes them so amazing
100% don't get me wrong Jake and misha are amazing in their own right but man theirs just so about makes playing that will always blow me away he's definitely my favorite guitarist in general since he come on the scene when he joined joined periphery back in 2012
This is the sound I look for! the tone is amazing, clear and powerful. It’s also got that western twang along with that older rock sound. This is sick.
0:35 periphery goes rock n'roll for approximately one bar
Ossian Willen i was about to write same thing ! Love this moment !
they play that a couple of times in that song. First time I heard that I was like "holy crap, we need more of that"
Ossian Willen haha yes that little double stop riff caught my attention. 😂😂👍👍👍
That’s the best part of the song
Hahaha i was about to say same thing. That desonant rock n roll rift
yes
yes
Yes

Imagine if a riff came out like this in the 80s. People would’ve absolutely lost their shit.
It wouldn't have, not in a million years. That's why Periphery are progressive metal and not just heavy metal
They wouldn't be ready for it, but their kids are gonna love it

this song is NOT drop G. Its just D standard with a G instead of a D.

Same. It summarizes what to expect from the rest of the album fairly well
i am glad u like Mastodon
I laughed the first time I heard the blues run in this song at 0:36 because it was so god damn good and perfect

Mark Holcomb writes the best riffs in modern metal. Hands down.
i'm pretty sure misha writes them and mark plays them but i could be wrong.
they're both composers I suppose
@@artshayler8747 They all write equally, but Mark writes all the sick shit mostly lol
I'd say it's a 3 way tie with Keith Merrow and Wes Hauch

That pinch at 5:44 is so gnarly. I always love that part when it comes around
Daniel Seale hell yeah dude same
I have difficulty making a sound like that on my guirar
Yass!
It sounds like it might be a double pinch. I hear a major 3rd before he bends it up, which would make sense if it's the 4th and 5th string.
So is that two different guitars doing them at once or once guitar producing two at the same time. If it's the later how does one do that?
Oh, hi mark
Oh Hi Johnny, I've never heard that one before.
How's your sex life?
I DID NAAAT
It’s booshet!!!
What a playthrough Mark, you seems to be the expert
First day and a cover of Reptile already? You sir are phenomenal, how did you get the tabs so quickly?
I think Misha said he has a guy. ;-)
Not sure if this is joke or not but if it isn't, this isn't a cover, Mark is a member of Periphery man...prolly doesn't need the tab haha
@@therealeleusis You must be new around here.
@@francoextract haha yup!
It’s cause he wrote it lol
God what a great cover. This guy could easily be in Periphery no doubt!
He needs to stop dressing up like mark and buying his exact gear though. That's beyond creepy.

Loved the little bluesy licks that were thrown it. Really unexpected for djent/progmetal
thats what made it for me. godly
great southern trendkill says hello
Dear mark, this is the most difficult song I’ve ever learned. Thank you but also f you. Love you. Love, David

Natural skill and years of practice
@@behindthen0thing No doubt about that. It just still amazes me.

Kinda hope was doing a playthrough of It's only Smiles but honestly if they sold a DVD with them playing the album. would 1000% buy it.
Me too
So you'd buy ten of them?
@@PorkchopSandviches just ten? Please, i will spend all my money on it.
I hope they will play it at every gig.
This song is a masterpiece.
I guess it's too complex to just play it on every concert.
Ha because Bleed isn't played at every Meshuggah show based on complexity right?
I think it’s a bit too long to play at gigs, so they’ll probably only play the first half of the song. (The half played in this cover).

Amongst all the incredible playing and phrases, the one that hit me the most (and continues to make me smile) is the 80s style slide at 0:35
Same, love it. Also reminds me ever so slightly of BTBAM's Disease, Injury, Madness solo.
This song is so well put together. Even though there are about a billion riffs that sound completely different, it feels cohesive. Excellent work Periphery.

Well done! I really love your ideas when it comes to songwriting
swear to god the most satisfying thing to see is Mark playing around the neck, with such exquisite delicacy and precision.
The opening riff is definitely my favourite on the record
Mine too. It sounded like a darker, more evil Intervals riff
I'm in love with it
Honestly I think that its my favorite riff from everything I heard in music so far, its heavy, it begins with some dark ambience, gets kind of rock n roll and blends into an epic chord progression, you have this conversation between the low and high note parts, chord and note choices are absolutely brilliant, rhythm is outstanding, it fits the song perfectly and its somehow not too over the top, you can still have vocals and drums over it and they wont be drowned. All in all, an absolutely amazing riff, not even the best work from riffmasters like Tim Henson can compare, its just wow
I like how Mark´s style is always improving. Unbelievable songwriting right there
And here we see another example of why Mark is my favourite guitarist.
Hard to choose but not a bad choice
I think he's the best guitarist in Periphery.
I bought your pickups and never knew who you were. Shame on me. These riffs are awesome! Subscribed. Thanks for designing the Seymour Duncan’s. Cheers mate!
0:31 love that riff with the old school rock n roll style slapped in there at the end 👌
Seeing Mark playing just give a hell of an inspiration to drop the hell of my guitar tuning and have the best time of my life
P u s s y.
By what I can tell I think the tuning for this one is G-G-C-F-A-D.
Also love when he does the "WOO!" with the harmonic xD
Im sitting in my dorm watching this playthrough as I dread finals, as soon as 2:45 hit, the sun poked through the sky. It was magical
I’ve decided to learn this on guitar, I’ll check back in 30 years with an update.
How's it going
UUUGHH how delicious aren't Mark's riffs and chord structures? Could listen to them all day.
It's amazing that they let you upload those nasty riffs, now I get why I can't see the other vids in Italy

Check out Wes Hauch. His playthru of As the Crow Flies. Prime shit
Mark is such an incredible guitar player... I mean... that’s obvious... but god damn, he is so versatile and his riffs are out of this worlds. I wonder what his main influence was and _when_ he started writing these kinds of riffs.. brilliant. My Holcomb SE is one of my babies
There's so much variety in the verses, I can't even figure out where each phrase ends and a new one begins.
