[@RudyAyoub]

Nothing says brutal but a pink guitar

[@MickZarco]

Oh hey Mark.

[@guylumalfaro3176]

hey, but can you like ...play something else. ya know, cuz u play guitar.

[@anusrepairman]

Pink is power

[@johnbotelho3453]

Rudy is G.O.A.T 🙌

[@PorscheJon]

The colour of flesh \m/

[@jqueezy211]

That slight depression on the whammy bar during that beefy djent riff... ufffff

[@Eutropios]

It gets me everytime.

[@trossbossinit]

My GOD it's sick..

[@Maffoo]

And where he presses down on the little bit of string on the machine head itself

[@kristopherstephen5964]

Marc is unbelievably underrated

[@Endsomniac]

Saw him at a place called Harpos in Detroit like 12 years ago. They were done playing and he was walking out and me and my friends actually got to talk to him. It was amazing

[@whrussy]

I think he's pretty well rated. Everyone who has heard of him and his music thinks he's pretty fuckin dope!

[@kristopherstephen5964]

@@whrussy congrats u disagree

[@whrussy]

@@kristopherstephen5964 I think he's Awesome but do does everyone so he's not underrated. If people thought he wasn't great I'd agree but nobody thinks that.

[@legacy5k]

@@whrussy Right... is he underrated? No, but that's not because he's not amazing or because anyone who knows him doesn't think he's amazing. He's just not as well known as we wish he was. He is in my top 5 of best riff-masters of all time. He's consistently unbelievable and his playing frequently blows my mind. Nobody sounds quite like him. Most people who know him agree.

[@Bretzille]

its mind blowing how marc still comes up with such amazing guitar riffs dudes literally been killing it since like 2007

[@thesummit615]

Yessss. They are NEVER stale. Dude is a genius.

[@currentlyvibing9916]

Yeah at this point you’d think there’s only so much you can do but even now he breaks that notion lmao

[@yummydirt4851]

"Djent is all 0-00-0-00-00-000-0" Mark Okubo: haha pink gitar goes brrrr

[@dillavou444]

The simplicity of that design makes that guitar so incredible!

[@MarioGarcia-vz6gd]

Mike G why? because it only has a bridge pickup?

[@northtimo666]

Mike G not at all.

[@freezingjazzy]

@Matt G Well if we're going off bullshit like that then Frederik's guitar is a ripoff of a Les Paul

[@DrOctatonic]

*Me* : Finally, a Veil of Maya song I can play. 1:41: *ARE YOU SURE ABOUT THAT?*

[@lobster272]

Nothing compared to their old stuff.

[@DrOctatonic]

Andy Pandy858 Sure. But even their newer more melodic stuff is no joke.

[@tomsxe]

even he can't play it right, just watch the clip cuts at each repetition of the chorus, he can nail it but the first note of the next beat will be wrong

[@sorrowsfromeden]

Literally my thought 😅

[@summeronio9751]

I have faith in you, my dude. HIT IT

[@skinbagmusic9530]

The dang "bumm ba du bumm" like at 1:46 is just soo nice

[@maxwatto7072]

The most progressive-djent-death metal shirt oh this earth.

[@maxwatto7072]

@LocrianLivesMatter Yes wonderful man cleavage

[@bruceanthony8345]

This very true men. I fucking loved Marc Okubo of course by great excellent playing guitar

[@adlerdefender8067]

😂😂😂 beyond Creation run circles on this band

[@xspartan346x]

old vom is. this just has a sick opening groove.

[@guitarhero38633]

@@xspartan346x Negative. VoM is better than they ever have been as they are exploring their sound way more

[@FuxWithFire]

This is insanely creative

[@jipplejapple3347]

Supremely underrated guitarist

[@theders8590]

Here’s a trick Periphery taught me. If you don’t have a whammy bar but you have a sort of floating bridge(like an Ibanez standard one) if you strum the 6th string but bend the 5th string. The 6th one will detune. It works with the other strings as well. (In case you wanted to play this song)

[@dilbophagginz]

Yup that's how they do the detune trick in New Groove and Motormouth

[@Aurora_17]

This guy leads with his ring finger and pinky, what the fuck.. how much talent is within this man

[@DareToShine]

The steeze is off the charts

[@quinnarmstrong5090]

The man has spiders for hands....SPIDERS!

[@ImRe4n1m4t3d]

God man, Marc that chorus is just absurd. You be groovin homie.

[@wtfnickhax]

Gotta love that giant Brand of Sacrifice on his forearm. shit is so clean.

[@justinfuzzyhat]

Usually choruses are the simple guitar parts of a song...

[@itsyaboicory5029]

Gotta switch it up sometimes haha.

[@metalxcorereviews6842]

its cuz the singer is going off the basslines so the guitars can pretty much do watever they want.

[@tylerbaars1173]

Why does everything have to be technical. It's not a race or competition

[@metalxcorereviews6842]

Tyler Baars welcome to the human race.

[@afigurezero777]

MetalxCore Reviews couldn’t have said it better.

[@rebel_lemonade]

definitely in my top 5 guitarist. Marc fo days

[@harveytrevino2257]

Definitely Top 5.. He's done some "pretty impossible to pull off live" riffs during his tine as the sole guitarist of one of the heaviest bands..

[@Jin_Raiden]

I'm loving all of these play throughs and the fact I can actually hear the guitar being played

[@Chainbrain]

My favourite song from the newest album! Seeing this guitar makes it a hard decision between the Aries and Osiris for my next Kiesel!

[@BaronVonBonBon]

I'd personally go for an Aries. They can be so beautiful

[@anusrepairman]

Get their hollow body for the djazz

[@kman080498]

well this is actually a DC model

[@ssusbuss309]

^^

[@whiteyplaysmighty8503]

The better choice is anything but a kiesel

[@ExtremelyOnlineGuy]

Marc is a dark souls boss to the guitars he touches. It’s just not even fair.

[@bassheadjazz2708]

Dat Sweater game though. Ey, can we all appreciate the fact that he is ACTUALLY PLAYING and this isnt a playback "play through"?!

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

Was literally just thinking that as I watched it. I appreciate that fact and wish more guitarists would do the same. It would help all of them out of this witch hunt for fake guitarists that has been going on, lately.

[@robertherrick6703]

@@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE Why do some of these guys make videos of themselves miming the song? Obviously it makes sense for a real music video but what's the point of a guy just sitting on a chair miming?

[@DJENTISNTNOTAGENRE]

@@robertherrick6703 Honestly, my guess would have to be that they can't actually play the song that well so they pretend to play it. That's really the only reason I could see someone doing it. I could be wrong, though.

[@thejrfanclub628]

I use playthrough videos as ways to see how the artists actually play a certain riff or whatever for the sake of me knowing how to play it

[@camdenwyeth316]

@@robertherrick6703 For people to see what the guitar's actually doing, I always watch a playthrough when I want to see what the guitar part looks like or if I'm trying to learn the song, personally couldn't care less if they're actually playing it or not because that doesn't change the guitar part I'm there to see.

[@anusrepairman]

Vial of Mayonnaise.

[@akatsukiamp]

vial

[@jacobhollidge59]

Don't forget about their label brothers Basket of Onions!

[@mistakenintegrity]

Tosin's right thumb and Marc's left pinky. HOTDAMN!

[@connorevs1315]

Heck yeah! I was really hoping for this song

[@NonnyStrikes]

Love it when I play this song at the Bar while playing darts. The whole mood changes and i'm over there mouthing the screams and bobbing my head like a nut. Metal nut. "a demon has control of my mind, the darkness sees through these very eyes" favorite part. Says so much about us as humans.

[@Joose]

This song is amazing.

[@billstowing9942]

That kid from Holes really found his calling!

[@malettastudios9416]

Underrated comment

[@summeronio9751]

Tbf, he does comedy skits with Kevonstage.

I like how there is real audio in this playthrough !!

Love this!!!!😍

[@LowdenFTW]

This was a pleasant surprise

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

ayyye, it's brother marco. this sounds a bit different than what i'm used to on the album, but then again, i always listened to it during work, with mowers and other machinery in the background, so maybe this is the first time i'm _really_ hearing the music.

[@brandi8819]

I'm actively living and dying all at once, but with a highly electric edge thanks to this 🤘

[@lastditch727]

Great riffs

[@Ghostyfrost9688]

This song is so god damned heavy. Favorite on the album

[@AndrewLein]

yeeah hope they will upload more of VoM's old stuff too

Great job man.

[@graysonflorentin2149]

Great cover, cool shirt and pink guitar goes hard!!

[@ScheduledChip]

We need more of the playthroughs! I could watch Marc play for hours but he's so elusive on KZbin compared to other djenty bois like John Browne and Misha Mansoor.

[@VitorMatheusSantosDaSilva]

I Love it all, thanks ♡

[@DEMONPLAGUE]

That guitar is gorgeous

[@pac0r]

Love that song :)

the guitars are like the vocals in the chorus they are like backing vocals its cool

Nice to see an older person who isn’t just like “ugh new music is trash you should’ve been born in my generation REAL music is the ROCK AND ROLL of the 60s and 70s not this SCREAMO garbage.” Open-mindedness is refreshing.

please tell me there's gonna be a leeloo play through

[@infernapeDLS]

Could be ! dont know if he did it, but I asked for Whistleblower and he said, sure that can be arranged. He also said that he would play some matriarch stuff. Mikasa, leeloo and aeris are the most popular. So lets keep our hopes up xD Leeloo would make most sense

🔥🔥🔥

How they he the wood grain to poke through the paint like that? So slick!

[@xFatalxGrizzly]

You can really tell the drummer wrote the drums first and he wrote the guitar parts to it, so amazing.

[@IIESPD00DII]

Wrong. Marc actually comes up with the drums in his head while he writes his riffs

How do you even figure that?

[@ekos144]

awww man

[@disembodiedsounds]

Love this fucking song fire 🔥 🤘🏼

[@silaswintersguitar]

Im just so confused about the scale length of his guitar. Kiesel lists them as 25.5 but i swear it looks like a baritone 27 scale. Either way its so sick. Marcs true talent lies in his picking hand.

[@florentmartiniere]

It clearly looks like a standard scale ... what he does with it is clearly not standard, tho

[@str1897]

I can't wait to see Mr. TRAPT play this song, especially the part beginning at 1:41
