I absolutely love Mastodon and Bill. There is a selfish part of myself that wishes we could've gotten a higher quality video to suit the legend this man is!
This man gives hope for us none prodigies. He started at 15 and being impressed by everyone and just getting there from working hard af. This band is my favourite after a decade of listening to metal because they are the truest musicians around who keep trying to push their limits and innovate their sound, I love this band.
Amen. If you are a fan of musicians, true masters of their instrument, then Mastodon is the place to go. Everyone in this band is an awesome musician. Don't think so? Try to play what they do.
What a champion. Just right in the living room. No fuss just honest talks. That was amazing man just like having a chat with him one on one. Mastodon for life dudes! 🤘
he is an awesome person he gave me one of his picks after a show when I saw them during the 2009 adult swim tour with deaf clock high on fire and converge. Mastodon stole the show.
We r serious with mastodon > sees steambreather music vid. If youre reading this Bill i love all of you guys from Mastodon i hope youll stay healthy during the time.
Fk yes. Love this dude. My favourite riff of theirs is the “....as the soldier walks through the crimson tide....” section of The Wolf Is Loose. God I love that bit.
the way he plays number of the beast though!!...I bet 99% of all players who have learned that riff by ear (me included) play it all downstrokes without the open A string for their whole lived til now.....fight me...Dude is just thorough..love the new album!!
Along with all the other members, Bill is part of what makes Mastodon addictive to listen to. They all feed each others creativity to an inhuman level, it's perfect. Just wish the audio was better, but can't complain about some good perspective from a legend
This dude have an awesome background of music, we can see that of course in Mastodon, this dudes have really their own way of making music, playing, writting, soo much personallity, and not just bunch of notes, bunch of rythms, they really put their own ways there
I got a chance to meet Bill when Mastodon came through town a few years ago. He was the nicest dude ever and took the time to talk w me. Can't wait for some new music from the Mighty Mastodon. Fun fact: his guitar picks say 'Billy Cathair' on them. Heh.
To be honest I’ve never been a huge Mastodon fan, but I always respected the technical aspect of their music. Plus Bill went to my high school way before my time so he’s a god to me lol
But yeah one of my favorite guitar players went to the same high school as me... that makes me like him even more... is there an actual problem with that or are you just one of those people with nothing to do in life so you go replying to random shit that has nothing to do with you? I know the answer but I want your take lmao
ha, that does sound like shit! just for the record it sounded great on my end, the guy doing the interview shoulda told me it sounded shitty on his end and we would've worked on the sound it was just a FaceTime interview ......der.....
It gave your playing a raw sound though!! It reminded me of when I first started playing guitar and I’d record into my old panosonic cassette recorder!! Oblivion is by far my favorite song to play by you guys!! I love the intro that you never go back to in the song leading into that chunky riff!! Thank you for being such a huge influence in my guitar playing Bill!! You are a metal master legend!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Loudwire please if you do zoom interviews with artists just have them record a second audio track with their phones or laptops. Zoom or any other video chat software just ruins anything that isn't voice.
Great stuff, but why couldn't he just shoot a video clip on his phone? The facetime etc. ruins the riffs. Cool to hear him tell the stories tho. Mastodon ftw, always!
Guitars worth thousands.
$2.00 Wish microphone.
Gotta capture that sludge metal toan
not even, I bet he's usin just his laptop mic
Free shipping
It’s a zoom interview
Either Bill needs a new phone, or the dude from Loudwire needs a new phone...but somebody needs a new phone
I absolutely love Mastodon and Bill. There is a selfish part of myself that wishes we could've gotten a higher quality video to suit the legend this man is!
I love how crappy it is. Crappy couch. Shitty lamp. Agnostic fucking front tshirt. Totally punk rock damn it!!! Bill in his truest form.
probably Skype..? Or something like that..

It would be interesting to see what level his friends are at now.

@@fredriksvard2603 Sarcasm
mastodon's riffs are some of my favorites, they've got such a nice groove
Bill is Mastodon's secret weapon. He's the destroyer who stands in the shadows!
I hope Bill makes another video like this. The quality of this video doesn’t do him justice.
What a champion. Just right in the living room. No fuss just honest talks. That was amazing man just like having a chat with him one on one. Mastodon for life dudes! 🤘
He looks like James Hetfields brother. Haha.
He would probably take that as a compliment. Not that you meant bad or anything.
No he doesn't
You look like James Hetfield’s brother, mate, if anyone does...
He looks like Micah Bell
But bill is way cooler imo.
Crusher Destroyer was introduced to me by my friend saying, "You want to hear something that will make you want to punch over a bus?"
Yes mastodon 💪🏼
I love this band, so many sick riffs...
I feel Bill along with Brent are the only current modern "rockstars' Look, style, playability, tone etc. Love Mastodon.
This bad audio is like a weird phaser pedal on top of his sound.
Wow!! Bill is still using a Compaq Presario.
Learning a few Mastodon songs at the moment and shit these guys write some truly amazing and original stuff definitely in a league of their own.
Notice how bill's hand itself hardly moves but his fingers do , very very efficient , amazing guitar player
I have a bought one of his ltd Sparrowhawks. All i can say is that this guitar is a fucking machine dude!
this dude writes crushing riffs 😮😮😮
🤘🔥😬🔥👍 Bill !!! Mastodon is awesome ! One of my all time favorite bands, thanks for the great music 🤘
he is an awesome person he gave me one of his picks after a show when I saw them during the 2009 adult swim tour with deaf clock high on fire and converge. Mastodon stole the show.
When covid is over, y'all need to re-record the riffs for this.
Full bootleg sound quality, sounds metal enough to me
street N' Dirt fighters agree
Loving the agnostic front shirt. This guy is a legend,I love mastodon
Wish he talked about Lethargy. One of my favorite 90’s death metal bands.
That pinched harmonic riff is insane !!!
I want an Agnostic Front shirt like his.
We r serious with mastodon > sees steambreather music vid. If youre reading this Bill i love all of you guys from Mastodon i hope youll stay healthy during the time.
Great quality, what kind of potato did you use?
Kennebec, it's a good all-purpose potato, however it does struggle with high power output. Should have tried deep fried for that crispy top end.
potato 69 relique
It's from Ireland, so it only goes up to 320p
I think you would want a nice dry potato, like a Russet, but I'm not an A.V. guy.
Fk yes. Love this dude.
My favourite riff of theirs is the “....as the soldier walks through the crimson tide....” section of The Wolf Is Loose.
God I love that bit.
Same here. That whole song is one of my favorite Mastodon songs
Awesome Bill. Thanks for uploading this. Love these kind of videos. BTW. I have your sig Eclipse... love that guitar.
Even if this feels outdated now, I love those VHS video from the 80's transfered to youtube in 240p and their sound issue. Nostalgia I guess.
I swear, even the first riffs he wrote are killer
Never enough Mastodon , cool seeing in youtube land.
Cheers from Michigan
What a legend , such an inspiration
the way he plays number of the beast though!!...I bet 99% of all players who have learned that riff by ear (me included) play it all downstrokes without the open A string for their whole lived til now.....fight me...Dude is just thorough..love the new album!!
That riff at 6:57 is pretty awesome...

7:42 "with Mastodon, we're serious now", meanwhile one of their most listened metal songs has girls randomly twerking around :D
What song?
WHAT. SONG. SIR.
The motherload :))
Clearly you didn't get the joke. Lol
@@brettwalker5579 I didn't get it at first but now I do.
Mastodon rules! Bill Kelliher is a god. The sound quality in this video.....BOOOOO!!!!!!
Picking a favourite Mastodon riff would be impossible. There's too many good ones.
Where did you get the Interface to transfer this VHS tape to TH-cam? Love ya' Bill...
Good to see Bill on the TH-cam, Mastodon in #1
the rarely seen Black Sparrowhawk next to a never before seen Gold Sparrowhawk (?)
Looks like a 2009 cover video on youtube.But i love Bill
Great guitaring! The Motherload is my favorite Mastodon tune. I watch the video all the time.
I would fuckin' love to see Pepper Keenan do one of these.
This dude have an awesome background of music, we can see that of course in Mastodon, this dudes have really their own way of making music, playing, writting, soo much personallity, and not just bunch of notes, bunch of rythms, they really put their own ways there
I literally went to school with Bill Kelliher at Victor Central High School. Also played with Bernie Talty
Bills a riff god
Guitar time with Uncle Bill! \m/ My favorite Mastodon riff is and will always be from "Iron Tusk".
Bill and his sparrowhawks... it’s a beautiful thing.
I got a chance to meet Bill when Mastodon came through town a few years ago. He was the nicest dude ever and took the time to talk w me. Can't wait for some new music from the Mighty Mastodon. Fun fact: his guitar picks say 'Billy Cathair' on them. Heh.
Yeaahh, great to see Bill on this series! Next Gojira? :)
Bill Kelliher is cool man.
Hell yes I love bill
Fuck yes Mastodon!
this was great, seems like a really cool guy
I don't even care that every riff sounded underwater. I love me some daddy Bill.
Frankenchrist is a fuckin great album. Underrated in the Dead Kennedys catalog
Cool Agnostic Front shirt!!
Bill looks like such a dad
I want to meet that dad.
DK was such an amazing band!

YOU’RE FROM VICTOR!?!?! Holy shit... thats like 30 miles from where i grew up... damn... never knew that.... finger lakes region

Didn’t know Micah can play guitar.
Cowpoke

Bill's like a happy Ron Swanson
I love you Bill
“Not to much pinch harmonics”
*zakk wylde would like to know your location.
The riff master.
Love the shirt Bill
Is he using a dial up connection or some shit?
Should definitely look into that TH-cam budget and send these guys a Zoom mic or some all in one to get decent quality.
Intresting guitar
You should start a band called Van Halden

God I wish he had a better mic for this. Such a shame that we don’t get to hear this well at all.
Nice R. Land art on your wall.
The riff wizard himself!
My dog is named Moose too!!!
Feels like I'm watching this in 2009
I feel like this entire comment section can pool some dollars together and get Bill an SM57
I like how the best riffs are totally inaudible.
Agnostic Front!
Top 10 tortilla man moments
Rocking the agnostic front t I see
Man this could have been so good.
What the fuck, Bill Kelliher sits on couches like a normal person?!!?!!
Cool guitarrist
Agnostic Front
Great stuff, but why couldn't he just shoot a video clip on his phone? The facetime etc. ruins the riffs. Cool to hear him tell the stories tho. Mastodon ftw, always!
I only like Primus and Mastadon.
Primus sucks........
This is the only correct way to listen to music
Cool
