COFFEE WITH MARK HOLCOMB of PERIPHERY

[@spacemancanpee7114]

Now we need Nolly on the show to ask him how he transformed into a computer for the band.

[@Professional.Bro.777]

Man nolly even declined an interview with Andertons when mark and misha both did it. You can't catch nolly even with a masterball

[@zer0dave]

I read that Nolly's family commitments had him pull away from the live bass duties but he still records bass for the records in addition to all his production work. Other interviews I've seen with him seem to suggest that he's happy just doing his GGD and other company stuff and his production work where he can be close to home.

[@emromw]

That would be a great step for PRS to tap into the metal guitar market!

[@OfficialDreamTheater]

@@emromw Also a very easy sell too. The 8-string market is very scarce unless you spend big money, and PRS quality and feel paired with Scarlet & Scourge pickups would make it an absolute killer. $1400. Would be worth it.

[@joshjoyce7537]

I thought P1 was alright, but I became a FAN when my old band was in the studio the same week as the release of P2 and the audio engineer just would NOT stop talking about how incredible that record was. He was like, "I cant believe they made a metal record that's THAT good, and THAT innovative, all without traditional breakdowns. I listened to that record non-stop for the next month, and sitting here years later, Periphery is probably my favorite band.

[@J.R......]

Oh yes. I just became a fan of Periphery, only because I saw Mark in SWOLA about 2-3 weeks ago. He seems to be a great guy and so is their music. Just finished their Making of Hail Stan documentary, so thanks for another good content for Friday afternoon.

[@synhet84]

You won't see music and producing the same way after diving into Periphery :)

[@seananderson5334]

I was always hesitant to get into Periphery because it just wasn't clicking, but then I saw an awesome clinic with Mark and he played Prayer Position and it was SO good that I started getting into their albums and bought their tab books online. Great band.

I think they are better without vocals, as just instrumentals.

I feel that. Spencer is a skilled vocalist, but it is not my cup of tea. Their instrumentals are fantastic!

Great interview Ola. To answer Mark's question, I want PRS 8 strings all day, and I'm sure I'm not the only one. PRS if you read me🤘🤘🤘

[@aiRxShop]

lol that guitar traveling all the way to Sweden from the US and pulling it out of its case and it’s nearly perfect tuning still, I think is a testament to PRS Guitars. I’m always amazed how well my PRS is in tune anytime I take it out of its case. Sometimes have gone months without playing it and will still be in tune when I pick it up.

[@ronnieeuda]

It's so cute to see how Mark still is and always has been the biggest fan of Periphery all the way, even though being part of the band for such a long time. Awesome dude.

where P1 lacked collaborative and vocal friendly arrangements, it certainly makes up for in youthful exuberance. You can hear and feel this sort of wonderful abandon with the over the top parts and attitude that always makes me happy and brings me back to being a teen in 2011. I love that Mark has a reverence to it, because you SHOULD be a fan of your own band and the history that got you to where you are now

The PRS Holcombe was a god send for me. My band is a blues/rock band, but I have an extensive metal background. I've run the gambit from Ibanez to Fender Tele, and just couldn't find something that gave me the tonal options I wanted, the physical specs I wanted, and the tonal options I wanted at the budget I wanted. Solved all those for me to the point that I'm planning to buy another one.

[@t3hgir]

Allow me to share my little 8 string tone discovery... I heard that some metalcore guys would use the neck EMG (85) in place of the 81 for a tighter, punchier, "stringier" rhythm tone. I got a set of DiMarzio D-activator 8s to replace the stock pickups in my Jackson Dinky 8 string (X series multiscale, amazing value BTW) and the Dact bridge was a bit too buzzy and high output for me. I wasn't cool enough to get a Lundgren M8 so I put the lower output Dact Neck in the bridge(it's inspired by EMG 85 sort of) and a PAF8 in the neck. Djont tones are sooo much chunkier and "stringy" as Ola mentions, allowing you to dial in less gain from the amp. But I think most would agree string gauge and picking attack is huge for these type of tones as well!!!
