NAMM 2014 - Randall Booth: Wes Hauch

Day 4 at NAMM 2014. So this was one of those moments where you had to be there. Mark Holcomb, Wes Hauch, Allan Marcus, John Browne, and Ola Englund were all at the Randall Booth. The tone coming from Wes when playing Ola's sig guitar through Scott Ian's sig amp and Ola's Satan was incredible. You could feel it in your balls it was so brutal. Check out my other NAMM 2014 vids on my channel.

5:33 7-years later and that's the main riff for the song "Exponent" off of Alluvial's new album Sarcoma.

[@LowdenFTW]

Was just looking for this comment. Incredible.

[@ihavenoname.4929]

Wes holding court w/a bunch of savage players looking on.

[@MajorDook1]

Yeah, a bunch of savage players and Mark Holcomb.

@@MajorDook1 I'm no fan djent but put some respect on Marks name. Dude has more chops than most players will ever have.

[@saamo1423]

@@chickenpasta7359 Yeah, but like... he's definitely the odd one out here. I'm not saying he doesn't have amazing riffs, but he's in a completely different space than the other 4

I wouldnt be able to handle myself in a room with Mark Holcomb, John Browne, and Ola Englund. id be like borat, but instead of pam anderson in a bag it would be Ola.

2:25 I love how Ola just steps in and tweaks the amp like a boss

[@AndersonWave17]

I wonder what song he was playing in that moment. It sounds familiar

[@nochthitus9397]

@thunder bird Ola like "bro, your tone isn't going to open a wormhole to the 9th layer of hell with these settings; let me just fix that for you" *grimness intensifies*

[@jeffreyquinonez8964]

@@nochthitus9397 ha! 😂

[@RichardGarcia93]

It’s a demo for an amp lol. They want to tweak it to show what it can do.

Wes is a boss! I love seeing him play Dimebag riffs on a Washburn through a Randall, Dimebag would be proud

[@AirGuitar]
