@@zer0dave We do miss him playing live doe, but a man's gotta do wot he gotta do. Pretty impressed by how well GGD is doing some heavy lifting in the community
I thought P1 was alright, but I became a FAN when my old band was in the studio the same week as the release of P2 and the audio engineer just would NOT stop talking about how incredible that record was. He was like, "I cant believe they made a metal record that's THAT good, and THAT innovative, all without traditional breakdowns. I listened to that record non-stop for the next month, and sitting here years later, Periphery is probably my favorite band.
@@emromw Also a very easy sell too. The 8-string market is very scarce unless you spend big money, and PRS quality and feel paired with Scarlet & Scourge pickups would make it an absolute killer. $1400. Would be worth it.
It's so cute to see how Mark still is and always has been the biggest fan of Periphery all the way, even though being part of the band for such a long time. Awesome dude.
@@Malloch95 I've got 3 Holcomb models. The Holcomb Burst 6 string, Blue Holcomb Burst SVN, and the Walnut SVN. I love them all, probably will not get rid of them, ever.
I was always hesitant to get into Periphery because it just wasn't clicking, but then I saw an awesome clinic with Mark and he played Prayer Position and it was SO good that I started getting into their albums and bought their tab books online. Great band.
Oh yes. I just became a fan of Periphery, only because I saw Mark in SWOLA about 2-3 weeks ago. He seems to be a great guy and so is their music. Just finished their Making of Hail Stan documentary, so thanks for another good content for Friday afternoon.
lol that guitar traveling all the way to Sweden from the US and pulling it out of its case and it’s nearly perfect tuning still, I think is a testament to PRS Guitars. I’m always amazed how well my PRS is in tune anytime I take it out of its case. Sometimes have gone months without playing it and will still be in tune when I pick it up.
I have the Walnut SVN and absolutely love that guitar. It plays great and sounds killer. 26.5" scale length makes such a great platform for gnarly detuned 7-string fun.
I have been beyond stoked for this since I saw your and Mark's posts about it. What a dope way to start the day - with two of my favorite guitarists ever.
where P1 lacked collaborative and vocal friendly arrangements, it certainly makes up for in youthful exuberance. You can hear and feel this sort of wonderful abandon with the over the top parts and attitude that always makes me happy and brings me back to being a teen in 2011. I love that Mark has a reverence to it, because you SHOULD be a fan of your own band and the history that got you to where you are now
HELL YES!!! Mark name dropping touring with Underoath made my day for sure dude. I have loved Underoath for a looong time, and their album Define the Great Line is still such a benchmark Metalcore/post-hardcore record still.
Mark is such a great riff writer. One of my favorites. There's a vid of him here on youtube explaining his method of making riffs out of chord progs. Very cool.
I have a first gen se Holcomb 6str that I recently gave to my teenager when he wanted to expand from drums to guitar... (none of my other hardtail guitars had a neck pickup and he already likes Periphery). They are amazing guitars with amazing pickups.
Looking forward to this interview, on a side note - I've been flying Finnair between Asia & Europe the last few years & I really like them, excellent experience so far.
Disco elysium is one of my favorite under the radar games, and periphery is definitely one of my top 5 bands so hearing mark got to voice act in it is just wild haha super cool opportunity.
"I always say that, like, I think, the best guitar player I've ever heard in my life is Guthrie Govan, still, like in every way" I agree so, SO, much. Govan is such a powerhouse of technique, writing, feeling, heck we all have seen him improvising. Such a virtuoso.
The PRS Holcombe was a god send for me. My band is a blues/rock band, but I have an extensive metal background. I've run the gambit from Ibanez to Fender Tele, and just couldn't find something that gave me the tonal options I wanted, the physical specs I wanted, and the tonal options I wanted at the budget I wanted. Solved all those for me to the point that I'm planning to buy another one.
My dad was playing his old replica guitar... I was watching this while eating, it took few minutes and he was like '' LOOK AT THAT BOARD ! WHOOA ! , LOOK AT THAT WEAPON ! ''
Mark sounds awfully Colombian LMAO! Loved this episode! And it was so cool to watch that 8-string in action! Hopefully we'll have an SE version of that in the future!
Been watching Ola for quite some time now. Just subbed learning that he's a soulsborne fan. Shame of me. Mark Holcomb being a souldborne fan also, damn I even love him even more!
28:20 man, if a production model comes out I'm buying it right now. I got the 7 string one year ago and it's soooo good. The 8 string version would just be my dream
Mark idk if you remember columbus ohio like idk 2018-2019, I met you and you were with a woman, at a tavern just south of Newport Music Hall.. I just wanted to thank you for being kind to me, I was clearly nervous and you were a huge influence to me. Thank you man
I was there 2012 in Berlin with btbam. After the Show, we hang out in Front of the Club your played and you Misha and the guys from btbam came out to me and my friends and asked us what to do in Berlin. And we where like is that really Happening right NOW? 😂 We dont know what to say, because it was our first time in Berlin and just said nope. I still think back to this night and it remembers me what a Idiot iam😂😂
I like a few songs and yes. The best guitar dollar for dollar that I've played. I got mine for 550 and it became my main guitar over guitars that cost 3 times more.
You’re f*ckn’ gorgeous, guys, make me laugh of happiness when I’ve listened talking in Spanish, my mother language 😹👏🏼😹 doing nice! You both had earned a free visit to Canary Island and stay in my home if you wish to. Congrats & keep doing all what you are usually do! 🤟🏼🎸 38:38

Duuuuuude, I didn't know that Mark was voicing two characters in Disco Elysium at all! It's one of the most special games out there. A Bloodborne remake from Bluepoint would be a great choice for the PS6 release.
Now we need Nolly on the show to ask him how he transformed into a computer for the band.
Man nolly even declined an interview with Andertons when mark and misha both did it. You can't catch nolly even with a masterball

same!!

why do all of us have the same tastes?
Didn't Mark voiced a character in an RPG game? I forgot the title as I don't play games as much over the last 4 years.
@@bassyeyguess you didn't listen to them talking in the video 😁
Awesome coffee!
Now Mikael Akerfeldt?
8 strings are just gorgeous...in general. And Mark is one of the best dudes to play them.
I met all the Periphery members in 2017, and Mark was the coolest and he gave a bunch of us fans some guitar picks. What a great dude !
It's so cute to see how Mark still is and always has been the biggest fan of Periphery all the way, even though being part of the band for such a long time. Awesome dude.
I have his PRS, I have to say last night it was a complete delight to play
Same, I want the 7 or 8 string version also

I think they are better without vocals, as just instrumentals.
I feel that. Spencer is a skilled vocalist, but it is not my cup of tea. Their instrumentals are fantastic!
He's always been one of my favorite vocalists. No one sings like that guy.
@@xisotopex dang, that's crazy. Definitely not true but I appreciate your comment

You won't see music and producing the same way after diving into Periphery :)
All of their documentaries are so good. I look forward to those for months.

Mark is such a cool dude. Saw him at a clinic here in Grand Rapids. Been waiting for this to come out!
They were in Michigan? Dammit... how'd I miss that?
