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.

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🤘🏽😁🤘🏽

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.

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.

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.

Always loved how humble Mark is. Definitely one of the greatest.

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.

i LOVE the acoustic ghost walking intro, ill restart the song 5-6 times every time just for that riff.

Whose arm is higher: Mark Morton when he plays his acoustic or Mike Mangini when he hits his cymbals???.....

When you're a metal head but go to your buddy's house that only has an acoustic..."I'll make it work."

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.

Awesome!

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.

When metal heads play acoustic just looks like electric guitar unplugged with same power chords

Lamb of god needs to get my guitar fretboard. So many new levels to power cord riffs with open note pulloffs

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.

After he played the last riff, - I said outloud, "That was awesome as fuck!" ❤💯🔥

This is what metal is all about.

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.

Nice posture with the neck diving

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
