วีดีโอ

Soooo cool to come across this today, somehow it actually made me happy, I hope you are well, greetings from Melbourne, Australia.

So great to hear these riffs again and so glad I found your channel

Dude!!!

I love your playing Mark always have. Thanks for this video, I'm gonna learn it tomorrow 🤘😎

Still one of the most badass riffs ever written

You were lucky man.

That was very kind of you to show us those sweet and very expressive licks. 👉🏽👍🏽🫵🏽

He is such a well rounded player. Love that the solo builds and is so fuckin melodic. Just amazing

The ballads had some of the most memorable solos ever and the rockers, well they just blew the roof off.

Great song and video

Mark thank you for your contributions to rock and guitar!

I'll never forget being in my car smoking a bowl and listening to XYZ in the parking lot of Moby Grape in Las Vegas and Marc, Pat and Mitch the road manager came up to my car and asked who I was listening to, I said XYZ and Marc said yeah, that's us. One of the coolest moments in my Life. Thanks man.

Marc and Doug Aldrich were and are still a couple of my favorite players. Along with George and King Edward

Marc, I'm ashamed to admit that I'd never heard this song til early 2024. And I was like- WTH??!! I watched a lot of MTV back in '89. lol. Not gonna lie- Thuindersteruck is my all time favorite song, but this riff and song rank right up there with it. Thanks for the new memory for me.

Marc, what amp and pedal did you use on XYZ Hungry album ? Sound is insane :)

😮😮 I’ve tried so hard to to do that part with my fingers..now I see why I could never duplicate it.😂

This Gentleman ….is just Amazing. Enough said.🎸❤️👍🏻💪 What a Legend Marc is.

Hi Marc! Glad to see you here on You Tube, i love XYZ. Hope some day you can do a video playing "When i Find Love". God bless you, man! Cheers!

Love your playing Marc, I was lucky enough to have bought a sunburst Gibson Les Paul that you owned once !!! 🙏🙏🙏

Hi Marc, Hugh here from Canberra, Australia, I was fortunate enough to have bought your old Sunburst Gibson Les Paul a few years back, I still play it today, what a guitar that is. Love your playing by the way, hope you are well maestro !!! 🙏🙏🙏

Don't how I missed you guys in the 80s. But glad I found out. Love playing this. So fun

Such great guitar playing on both albums, and I still play them. Thanks Marc.🎸

BRAY 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻✌🏻✌🏻👍🏻✌🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌🏻WHAT MODEL IS IT???? PLEASE

Great story Marc!

Just XYZ? XYZ smokes NKOTB😂😂😂

Such a gem of a song and guitar parts. Thanks, Marc! From, Utah.

Excellent!

I love your playing and have been a fan for years. Can you breakdown the main riffs and solos to "When the Night Comes Down"?

Thanks Marc

LOL wth... "Just" XYZ.... I would pay good money RIGHT NOW in 2024 to watch you guys play again. I can sing maybe one or two NKOTB tunes but.... Where are they now? 😂

I know EVH was and still is THE role model and idol for not just Marc but probably millions of guitarists out there but with all due respect and gratitude to EVH for being such an inspiration, I realised that I enjoy the solos of more musical and melodic players such as Marc here, Vito Bratta, Michael Sweet, and Downing and Tipton. Please don't flame me that's just my own personal preference. EVH is still THE one who started the fire no doubt about that. ❤

In the 80s I listened to this song and also When I Find Love everytime when I was alone on the night bus home after a long day of mugging for my exams. Just PURE mastery of music and feel like nothing I've ever heard. Still listening to XYZ in 2024. Thank you for such unforgettable memories! ❤

Marc's playing, be it rhythm or solos, always had that special flair and raw energy in them. I just can't put it into words. 😂❤

So cool thank you so much. Could you show Nice day to die riff and solo ? It will be very cool

Wow that's so awesome. 😂❤

Rock n Roll yeah! That's so Pat 😂😂😂

I was totally HOOKED by the way you fill up a song when I first heard the XYZ album. You are AMAZING! ❤

dude, are you fixing televisions now? dear mother of god, i hope not. too much talent not to play : )

Great playing, great tone. I dig that amp. I've never tried a Bray before. What pickups are in that Talman? Looks like Duncans, but what models?

Only 3500 views and 200+ likes? C'mon this is great. Thank you Marc.

I got kind of close with a Randall RG -80 and a Kent Armstrong Grinder humbucker for the Hungry tone. I would like to know if the humbucker used on Hungry was a Duncan Custom? or = PRS HFS? - it just does not sound like a JB.

Fuck me, your tone (and playing) are so good brother! Im looking at Jtal guitars and A 50 watt Bray now. My wifes gonna kill me. Ha!

Awesome!!! Definitely that kind of thing!! Awesome guitarist!!!

YOU ARE THE RIGHT PLAYER FOR XYZ, I WISH YOU COULD DO ANOTHER ALBUM WITH THE BAND.

absolutely fantastic. thank you so much for your contributions to rock music!!

Hey Marc. May I ask what pickups are in the guitar sir and what you used back in the day to record with in your yellow Charvel if you remember?

Very cool man. You are one of my favorite guitarists from back in the day.. Very cool fretboard work sir. ❤ I subscribed. Now I can steal some of your killer licks brother. I just built a new strat with 22 stainless frets on a Warmoth maple neck with maple fretboard. I'm a big LP guy too though❤ I watched an interview and in it you said you didn't use the red Charvel in those tracks. 😂. Good looking Charvel though. 😂❤ Thanks again man. God bless brother. Regards from South Central Indiana. USA Tim. Today is my birthday and I'm 63. ❤

Man, I can't thank you enough for sharing your playing with the masses again! You have been one of my all-time favorite players ever since I bought the debut XYZ cd as a teen when it first came out. I used to sit in my room for hours on end, rewinding and playing parts of your solos from the first two albums (cassettes) learning all that I could. I actually wore those tapes out, lol! I was lucky enough to see you in concert back then at the Adler Theater in Davenport, IA. and was even more blown away! I still jam to those first two albums quite regularly to this day! I always hoped to hear more from you. So glad to see you well and still playing just as amazingly! Love this slow blues jam too! If by chance you see this, I really want to thank you for the music and inspiration. When things would get bad at home as a kid, I would retreat to my room and play along with those tapes to mentally escape what was going on. Your music was actually helping kids like me more than you can imagine! So again, thank you!

Love the guitar parts you did on XYZ and HUNGRY. Still 2 of my favourite albums of all time! Nice to see you're still layin' 'em down in the best tradition! 🎸

🤘
