Lamb Of God's Mark Morton Reveals His Unexpected Influence
.
(The Blues) Lamb Of God's Mark Morton says he's a blues guitar player "100%" - that just happens to be in a metal band. The lead guitarist says his blues influence helps set the band apart from their peers when he's writing new material - and he tries to incorporate it as much as possible in their music. He tells Ultimate Guitar: "I'm a blues guitar player 100% - I just happen to be in a metal band. And I happened to learn how to play metal when I was in my teens and 20s because I was fascinated by the music, and I still love the music. "But ultimately when I play for recreation or by myself, what's coming out of me is typically blues. That's just the kind of player I am - but I don't think it's that easy a formula. "I think I just try to incorporate some of that cornerstone of who I am as a player, I try to sneak as much of that into the metal context that Lamb of God is in as much as possible and as much as it is a benefit - and I think at times it has really served us well to set us apart from some of our peers."
