I was the dude that asked about his favorite riff! Sounded even better in person!

[TonyWhelanSLIDES]

2:17 Probably why they are so good " I can actually learn to play the guitar" . a Grammy nominated 45 year old man say this !

[dapunkof]

I know Brent Hinds takes a lot of the lead solos but I can tell that Bill is responsible for a lot of the writing.

[garrettallman]

Turns out his favorite riff was Scorpion Breath on EoS

[BottleRocket]

Holy shit that riff was incredible. I seriously hope that riff can make it onto the next album. I think it'd be a really cool sound to move into for the band. I've really loved the direction they've been going over time! Remission still rocks, and everything in between until now, too. But the variation of their music through time has really kept me listening and loving the band for years!

[Haegi]

I was actively listening for this riff in Emperor of Sand, and almost shit my pants on the awesomeness of Scorpion Breath! Fantastic album!

[PinkPantherPunk]

Holy shit that new mastodon song riffs 

[jwcorcoran]

That new fucking riff!!! These guys just keep getting better and better

[DrJoeBallcream]

I don't think I have ever had a bigger smile on my face in comparison to when he started playing that riff, holy mother of pearl that was amazing.

[sunmastodon]

nice an eerie. crack the skye meets once more 'round the sun

[yushinX]

that riff makes me absolutely excited for the possibility of a new album

[divided]

Went to this workshop.   Seemed like a really cool guy and colony of birchman sounded great with his simple setup.

[DrDannyMannGuitar]

I asked that first question! My buddy just saw this and told me haha. Bill seems like an awesome dude.

[pakottaja]

Crack The Skye & Once More Round The Sun. Best albums to me.

[davetorres]

The illusion mystery determined by the stars ✨ felt chills when I saw the date of this video. 🤘🏽

[sonicx]

Love him! The past 2 albums are gold despite what anyone says. 

[Jinvomixing]

Scorpion breath <3 one of my fav of the album, the riff has a fkng great atmosphere... Sorry 4 my broken english.

[mrmadame]

wow! thank you for that upload! What a great guy! And that riff was killer, can't wait for the next album!

[Ageallean]

The riff he previews at the end is from Scorpion Breath off of Emperor of Sand. Scott Kelly from Neurosis has his usual feature spot on this track.

[MilkyWayToHeaven]

That riff could blow up the death star.
