This was AWESOME. I’ve always been a huge fan of Bill’s riffage but knowing now that the guy behind it all is such a laidback, relatable and humble person takes it to another level! I think it even stunned Lee how genuine of a dude Bill is, despite how big Mastodon as a band have become. This interview made my weekend. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦

[TheTillhammer]

Ive seen Mastodon live many times and Ive had a lesson with Bill. They are by far some of the best and coolest people around in metal

[itchyvinyl]

Mastodon is now one of the GOATs of heavy music. 20 years and no bad albums.

[SpookyApparition]

Bill's transition from a wild man to a laid back, calm guy is something else. He used to go HARD (I think acknowledged too hard) and it's great to see him as a more mature guy... gives me hope for myself, lol

[JTCGuitar]

All hail Bill the riff lord!!! Cannot overstate how much I love Mastodon. Thank you for the tunes!

[AortaOrdnance]

The amount of chord shapes he runs through while just talking shows how dedicated he is to doing what he loves, thanks for the look into your life Bill!

[slates]

So stoked to see this interview. Bill is such a fantastic player and cool guy 👍👍👍

[SpectreDusk]

It's taken me until I'm 39 to really start learning guitar properly and Mastodon have been one of those bands that inspire me to keep trying. I couldn't have a lesson from Bill without feeling completely overwhelmed and way out of my depth, I'd never have believed such a thing was even possible back in the early 2000's. Great interview, great band, great bunch of guys.

[NoUploadJustComment]

Mastodon is one of the few bands where all 4 members sing. They are pretty unique. Their first several albums were really great and Leviathan might be the best metal album of the millennium

[LooneyTune]

Along with Rick Beato's interviews these are some of the best out there. I think it's key that the interviewer has a passion for what they're interviewing a person about.

[MaTTheWish]

I've just gotten into Mastedon this year, having a blast exploring their catalogue. Their "making of" documentaries on YouTube are the best I've ever seen.

[pb.wavelengths]

Great interview.

Top 4 heavy bands for me last 25 years (in no particular order)

Mastodon
Tool
Opeth
Meshuggah

[stevemaass]

The Interview Master strikes again! This was quite a surprise. Well done, Lee, and thanks Bill for the insights.

[brrblack]

"Iron Tusk" is my go-to, get pumped for an archery hunting theme song. Mastodon are always great live.

[joerectifier]

I love Bills personality and his way of conversing - he has always seemed like a good dude. His rhythm playing is innovative with unique chords and sounds….I’d love to have him play more solos in Mastodon.

[badmtrfnger]

What a decent bloke. Cool chats. :)
I wonder what high school -era Rabea would have said if you told him Bill Kelliher will be using the Kraken amp you will help design?!

[tuomastimonen]

Nice episode, thanks! Now that we have Captain meeting persons called Bill, the next meetable in line should be Bill Steer, the UK's national treasure and the secret weapon of modern metal, its past and present.😇😇😇

[InsolentMusicalPeasant]

What an amazing surprise! Mastodon is my favorite band of all time, and I've been dreaming of Bill coming on. Great guitarist, and a great guy too.

[goodknight]

Mastodon are by far my favorite metal band.Everyone should watch their documentaries on YouTube. Can’t wait to see them with Gojira!

[may_sin]

One of the best riff writers today and such a cool dude. Anderton’s knows what’s up
