Bill's transition from a wild man to a laid back, calm guy is something else. He used to go HARD (I think acknowledged too hard) and it's great to see him as a more mature guy... gives me hope for myself, lol

That’s what a long successful marriage and kids will do to you. We as men suddenly awaken to the reality of our true responsibility and power in this world. So we contain it and use it wisely like a Jedi.

The amount of chord shapes he runs through while just talking shows how dedicated he is to doing what he loves, thanks for the look into your life Bill!

I've just gotten into Mastedon this year, having a blast exploring their catalogue. Their "making of" documentaries on KZread are the best I've ever seen.

It’s really cool to see that your favorite guitar player is a super well adjusted individual who’s cool to talk to is just a normal person is very refreshing

I love Bills personality and his way of conversing - he has always seemed like a good dude. His rhythm playing is innovative with unique chords and sounds….I’d love to have him play more solos in Mastodon.

That tone at the end of the video is fricken delicious and so is the riffing….he does have a very relaxed and calm playing style

This was AWESOME. I’ve always been a huge fan of Bill’s riffage but knowing now that the guy behind it all is such a laidback, relatable and humble person takes it to another level! I think it even stunned Lee how genuine of a dude Bill is, despite how big Mastodon as a band have become. This interview made my weekend. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

Bill just has such the perfect amount of confidence, like he's humble but he knows his strengths and puts the love and attention into honing them and pushing his limits

All hail Bill the riff lord!!! Cannot overstate how much I love Mastodon. Thank you for the tunes!

Along with Rick Beato's interviews these are some of the best out there. I think it's key that the interviewer has a passion for what they're interviewing a person about.

It's taken me until I'm 39 to really start learning guitar properly and Mastodon have been one of those bands that inspire me to keep trying. I couldn't have a lesson from Bill without feeling completely overwhelmed and way out of my depth, I'd never have believed such a thing was even possible back in the early 2000's. Great interview, great band, great bunch of guys.

Mastodon is one of the few bands where all 4 members sing. They are pretty unique. Their first several albums were really great and Leviathan might be the best metal album of the millennium

It's a shame that we only get Bill's vocals when he does backing live, but he's said that he'd rather get into a real groove on the guitar. All of the guys have got great and distinctive vocal character. I've loved listening to the changes in style as they have gone through the albums, it never gets stale and I can always go back to an album and enjoy it again.The albums from Call of the Mastodon to Blood Mountain scratch the heavy itch, and the mixture of prog, hard rock and psychedelia going from Crack the Skye all the way up to Hushed and Grim is amazing.

I have always found this to be a clear sign that a band is great if many members sing. Mastodon, Eagles, Beatles, Pink Floyd.

Bill!!! Amazing! So thrilled to see him here. He looks healthy and happy.

One of the best riff writers today and such a cool dude. Anderton’s knows what’s up

Bill is an unsung legend of the RIFF. I’ve always been much more enthralled by players who write catchy, complex, heavy, *musical* riffs (without OVERdoing it) than by the two handed tappers, sweep pickers and 5-minute solo players. That stuff is cool and impressive, but it’s never been what grabs me. Bill is THAT guy and it sounds like he took that same approach when he was younger, eschewing EVH for East Bay Ray and Greg Ginn. Loved this interview. Thanks ✌🏻❤️

Saw a show with Mastodon and Ghost last year and it was excellent.

This interview helped get me through a birthday party. You know one of those your little kid is invited to and you’re the only parent there trying to avoid small talk.

What an amazing surprise! Mastodon is my favorite band of all time, and I've been dreaming of Bill coming on. Great guitarist, and a great guy too.

So stoked to see this interview. Bill is such a fantastic player and cool guy 👍👍👍

i love to hear some mellow and melodic music from Mastodon

Absolutely FAN of these guys. They're brilliant musicians, they are funny and so humble guys, and they have amazing instruments. WHAT ELSE!? Best metal band od this century. IMO

Nice episode, thanks! Now that we have Captain meeting persons called Bill, the next meetable in line should be Bill Steer, the UK's national treasure and the secret weapon of modern metal, its past and present.😇😇😇

This dude is a effin riff monster! Mastodon are aging like fine wine, they just keep getting better! Thank you for this Captain!

I had no idea the Sheriff could sound like that! The man is awesome! Big respect to them all

Man I forgot about this channel. Years ago like 2012 ish I was looking to get a Les Paul and couldn’t justify spending the $$$ for the version with the fake ebony (richlite?) and you guys reviewed the LP classic custom which was basically a thinner neck and a baked maple board…. Point is I went with that and that video helped me with the choice. Still have that guitar and love it and have recorded a ton of music and gigged with it never let me down. Mastodon and Bill are badasses.

Somehow I missed Mastodon for years I only recently "discovered" them and now have all of their CDs! Mastodon has become on of my favorite bands, as a new guitarist I am inspired by them.

Wow these riff so intricate, original and amazing, and the way way he plays so dynamic and precise👌🏻…

One of the most humble and real guys you could ever have on and hear from! Loved this one.

Awesome interview, thank you Anderson’s👏👏👍

Great interview and questions. Bill seems well thought out and answered all the questions directly, killer.

Fantastic! Love how humble and honest BillyK is! Great video.

YESSSSSS!!!!!!! Thank you so much for this interview. Mastodon is my all time fave and I got meet and greets for this upcoming tour with Gojira. Thank you so much Cap! 🙏

Bill's guitar passion is amazing...met him backstage once and he said he was pumping out one solid riff a week...many more Mastodon songs to come for sure.

Sublime interveiwing skills Captain...that video flew by and was a pleasure to watch. Great questions and and interested interviewer, you could tell Bill felt at home.

MASTODON has been my GOAT metal-band for the past 13 Years !! So 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was an absolutely brilliant interview, and Bill seems like an really awesome guy. Lee, you are a fantastic interviewer.

This is one of the best Captain Meets episodes you guys have ever done

Thanks, Captain, for this wonderful interview. I had heard of Mastodon but never really knew much about them. But after listening to the entire interview am going to go check them out. Bill seems like a great guy and a real down-to-earth person. I really appreciated this. Thanks again.

Such a great and influential guitarist, but a hilarious interviewee as well. Looking forward to what they craft next!

Legend. One of the most understatedly brilliant songwriters, riff-writers and guitar players on the planet.

I loved this interview!! One of my favorites!! Bill has been an inspiration to me for the past 10 years after getting into Mastodon!! Their chemistry as a band is flawless!!🤘🏻

Great band "Mastodon". Interesting hearing about how he started out playing through his dad's stereo. You don't need a lot of gear to learn and make music. My 1st amp was not an amp but rather my portable Panasonic CD/Cassette/Radio that I would plug my guitar into the Aux line in and try to jam to songs on it. My distortion was basically the speakers about to blow

Mastodon is just the best! All the guys seem like really great people. I'm really looking forward to their next album. I love Hushed & Grim.

Awesome interview, that riff breakdown had me smiling - same root chords at Something in the way, and is also has quite a dark feel to it. Going to have to look into those lessons!

saw Mastodon at the Barfly in Cardiff(sadly now defunct),with Blood Simple and Withered in support,needless to say even in such a confined,cramped arena they played as if there were thousands in attendance.Great night,never to be repeated.

Imagine selling a guitar and bill shows up! Priceless

Good to see a legend put some respect on the Peavey name.

Holy friggin crap! didnt expect to see this one. What a treat!

This is awesome. I had a lesson with Bill before a show in Brixton once and he was a great guy. I've also got one of his signature Goldenaxe explorers (which I have brought into Andertons at some point for trying out gear!)

Awesome interview, truly enjoyed it.

Thank you Bill, for remembering me, why I still feel so home in Punkrock music!

Just watched this interview and want to say to the Captain: you are a fabulous interviewer! You let Bill TALK as much as he wanted (which was happily, quite a lot) without interrupting him and you asked questions that he was really into answering and elaborating on. The interview was delightful. Thank you Captain and Bill!

What a decent bloke. Cool chats. :) I wonder what high school -era Rabea would have said if you told him Bill Kelliher will be using the Kraken amp you will help design?!

This was one of the best The Captain meets videos. Bill is a really cool down to earth dude. I remember seeing Mastodon open for local bands in my area in tiny clubs right before the first album came out. They deserve all the success that goes their way , monster work ethic. Great band great guys. I can vouch for the Mojo Tone pickups I have them in a Rock N Roll Relics Heart-Breaker ( they make them for RNRR ) they sound fantastic.

Bill's guitar journey mirrors mine so closely , as I also started with punk and new wave and my first "amp" was the mic. input of my dad's Akai tape deck and we're nearly the same age. It's great seeing you appreciating Mastodon. Now I know why Pete has been playing a couple of their riffs in recent videos! 😉

Cool interview! Time just flies ! Rock on !

i love bill and the rest of the mastodon guys! this is also the first time ive heard victory amps sound good.

Mr. Kelliher's history is very similar to my musical journey. I've loved Mastodon for years now. Cheers for the interview.

Really happy to see you have Bill on here. He's great.

I remember in highschool I had guitar class, and I remember I had a few of my friends that learned eruption and all the mainstream solos and I still stuck to what I loved and what moved me.

Bill is the man ..being from Rochester NY ...we look up to him and are extremely proud to be near were he came from

Awesome what a delightful interview !

Ridiculously excited to hear this thorough of an interview with Bill. Such an incredible guy, from my favorite band of all time. Also I’m not an LTD/ESP guy, but holy fuck my Sparrowhawk is my favorite guitar I own now.

absolutely awesome interview and Bill is such a humble and real guy... Leviathan is my favourite album, so much so that I bought a guitar amp from Ceriatone, a 100w 3 channel Leviathan that's a clone of Bill's Friedman Butterslax, the best hi gain amp I've ever owned

Awesome, thank you!!🦞🦞🦞

Two legends in one room. Bill you're the best, thanks for all the sick riffs

That victory is freaking amazing.. it just does it all.. heck of an am

What an absolute legend. I do adore Mastodon as they're one of my top favourite metal bands. I did manage to get Crack the Skype signed by him after a guitar clinic he did in Birmingham back in 2017 I believe and he was awesome and what a pleasure to meet one of my favourite bands' musicians.

What a great guy. Top player and writer, and a humble, good human being too. Respect.

Excellent video!! Mastodon makes incredible music 🤟😎🍻💯🔥🔥🔥

As soon as I saw you had Bill on, my jaw dropped. I wasn't disappointed. Really interesting interview

I saw these guys in the early 00’s and I never would imagine they’d become such a prolific band. They deserve it.
