  • @TheTillhammer
    Ive seen Mastodon live many times and Ive had a lesson with Bill. They are by far some of the best and coolest people around in metal
  • @itchyvinyl
    Mastodon is now one of the GOATs of heavy music. 20 years and no bad albums.
  • 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 🇨🇦
  • @SpookyApparition
    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
  • @AortaOrdnance
    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!
  • @MaTTheWish
    I've just gotten into Mastedon this year, having a blast exploring their catalogue. Their "making of" documentaries on YouTube are the best I've ever seen.
  • @JTCGuitar
    All hail Bill the riff lord!!! Cannot overstate how much I love Mastodon. Thank you for the tunes!
  • @joerectifier
    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.
  • 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
  • @SpectreDusk
    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.
  • @Peterkr10
    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.
  • @Merjia
    These interviews are amongst the best music interviews of all time. I could listen to these guys talk about their passion for hours. Mastodon are incredible, and Bill is such an amazing player.
  • @Uncle_Sludge
    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 ✌🏻❤️
  • 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.
  • @slates1969
    So stoked to see this interview. Bill is such a fantastic player and cool guy 👍👍👍
  • @meteor713g
    One of my favorite guitarists. Been lucky enough to see Mastodon twice in the last couple years
  • @brrblack497
    "Iron Tusk" is my go-to, get pumped for an archery hunting theme song. Mastodon are always great live.
  • @BigBass-xf5yi
    Love the Mastodon crew. Such cool,unique funny dudes. Oh and super talented too
  • @JTB--
    Saw a show with Mastodon and Ghost last year and it was excellent.
