Where’s the link for the mt100? Lol

[@sqidvishus]

I never knew Tremonti's daughter had Down's Syndrome. My wife's Aunt who we lost in 2019 was also Down's Syndrome and was one of the most beautiful human beings I ever had the privilege of knowing. What a wonderful way for Mark to honor his daughter.

[@newrosesartworx4662]

so does he if u take account to the ukraine flag on his strap......

[@smittyjones8755]

@@newrosesartworx4662 He said in this video the yellow and blue is for down syndrome awareness. I went to the AB show in march and thought it was for ukraine so put me off a little. Feel alot better about it now since it's there for his daughter. I bought a shirt and both colors of the albums when he did the Frank Sinatra covers for a down syndrome charity thing. I wore the shirt to the meet and greet and he said, "hey, love the shirt buddy"

I never knew that either, super cool though as my son also had Down Syndrome. I really appreciate the nod to the DS community.

[@jacobneal440]

Mark and Myles are so chill and down to earth! As well as amazing players.

[@DCJayhawk57]

I met them both back during their tour for the first Alter Bridge album, so nice and unpretentious. Mark was one of my early guitar heroes and inspired me to pick up the guitar at 15 (around the time Creed was at their zenith).

[@Snatchscratcher]

Mark seems so much more upbeat in this one than he did in the one 10 years ago. He seems to have aged really well. Glad to see him so happy

[@robwitherell9013]

I graduated high school with Myles Kennedy, and he was such a cool dude. Very humble very nice. Just a great human being!

[@niptodstan]

Mark is great. A family man. I bet his kids love him.

[@Wulfron]

„How nice can you possibly be?“ Miles & Mark: „Yes.“

[@DVBandDad8]

Mark is not just a great player, he is also seems like such a cool, modest dude that truly understands and respects his craft, his equipment, and his relationships that have helped him along the way.

[@allendean9807]

Bohlinger always gets the best gigs…. Great job, John

[@JJ-ze6vb]

I swear Tremonti never ages. The guy still looks exactly as good as he did in 2000, so almost 24 years ago.

[@icemanire5467]

Mark comes across as an absolute gentleman in every interview.

[@davidwright9550]

Myles is such a nice laid back guy. Mark is also, but Myles seems like a great guy to hang out with, and play music with. What a talent!

[@morello90]

Oh man, a limited Dimebag Charcoal Guitar run would have made me a very poor man… I have yet to finish the whole video, but what a great video this is! Thanks so much. Mark and Myles are really such nice an humble guys. I was working for them on a tour in 2008 and got food for them. I completely screwed up the orders and got Mark a sandwich (which he wanted) with Mayonese (which he didn’t want…). Instead of throwing it on the wall or at me, he just scraped the Mayonese off and told me not to worry 🙈😂

[@DeliRevv]

Mark is an absolute legend and an inspiration to me as a guitar player, songwriter and performer. Plus, he’s one of the nicest, most down to Earth guys on the planet.

[@georgemyers6475]

I've been to several meet and greets before Alterbridge shows and Mark and Myles as well as Brian and Scott are always just down to earth chill guys and outstanding musicians. Wish they received the notoriety and air time they so deserve. Super stoked for the MT100 finally come out of hiding also!

[@mrtiesthatbind]

Notoriety like Creed? I don't think they want it since Alter Bridge has a benign reputation

[@jdsjunkdrawer]

I finally got to see Alterbridge last spring on their kings and pawns tour with WVH and damn they were epic. Myles was playing in his home town of Spokane WA, so they pulled out all the stops

[@dirktucker77]

I was there to, it was awesome.

[@Bdevonhewitt]

Had the opportunity to work back stage security for AB in the early days in Florida. The guys were always great to work with and so down to earth. No head cases and easy going. I have always bought their new stuff through the years. Great musicians and people.

[@mmiller6873]

Well done with this interview. I love Alter Bridge and Rig Rundown is where it's at. Thank you very much for bringing this to us guitar loving, music loving folks.

[@Elfi1777]

It's hard not to like these guys... I admire Mark's objective to release affordable yet great quality products, like his signature PRS SE models, the MT15 or these new pedals. Absolute class!

[@danparry834]

Mark seems like such a down to earth guy! I wouldn’t change anything about my US Tremonti, it’s a beast!

[@TMSINCLIVE]

Opened for Myles when he was in Mayfield 4. Nice guy and great player. Big wreck was the main act on that bill. Super great guys as well. Was fun to play that show.

[@SteveHatzman]

Mark has always been a class act. I don’t know him of course but he seems extremely grounded.

[@pratikr3970]

Mark Tremonti is a guitar god to me, I learned the way I play because of him and James Hetfield Ofcourse. Met Mark in Chicago, he was such a gentleman and down to earth, he gave me his hand signed guitar pick, he fist bumped and just gave me his pick, means whole lot to me!!!!

[@donewithmodernlife]

I’ve had an MT15 for several years & find it to be the best lunchbox head I’ve ever tried. It sounds like a full size amp. I’ve been very interested in the MT100 after hearing Mark talk about how flexible they were trying to make it. After hearing it here it sounds like they accomplished that. I especially like that the 2nd channel isn’t just a lower gain version of the 3rd channel, it’s a different animal entirely. Really looking forward to trying one of these.

[@neighbourhoodmusician]

MT15s are just so fricken noisy for live work. They feedback easily, too. Sounds great, though. If the MT100 fixes those issues, I'm all in.

[@chrisman212121]

Mark's signature amp sounded awesome, both of them great guys

[@andrewpappas9311]

Awesome seeing Mark and Myles again, both are absolutely killer players and the Tremonti is one of the coolest guitars I’ve ever seen. Myles’ new signature also looks really cool, I still remember so many people wondering what the hell that design was but I honestly still like the uniqueness of it

[@ToddTheJoker]

Thanks John and Premier Guitar, I am not a Tremonti or PRS fan but I am a Myles Kennedy fan, that guy has one of the best voices right now in music! Unbelievable talent!

[@doublebguitarplayer9434]

One of the best bands out there now. Tremonti as well. Great band. Cool dudes,,,,,down to earth.

[@paultgreen]

The take away from this that I've taken is two fold 1) How much MT cares about his signature pieces being accessible/affordable 2) how passionate Paul Reed Smith is about product development and working with his artists.

[@chavovaldez]

I had played guitar for most of my life. I owned 100's of guitars including Vintage LP's, strats, Ibanez, etc. The greatest playing and sounding guitar I ever owned was my SE Tremonti. I bought it new in open box condition it had some minor finish scratches for ~$400.00.

[@stanknugget]

Proof?

[@GlenHyden]

Agreed. A friend lent me one. Flawless fretwork and precision detail everywhere.

[@bartbart4702]

​@@stanknuggetof course SE is not better than LP but is by far the best guitar in its price range, requires replacement tuners and pickups to some seymour duncan's

[@victorycrosby4896]

Got a black one 400 smackers at the local hometown Mark T G.C. it's my 2nd PRS I thought I loved my Zack Myers trampas green SE but my PRS SE "T" is a player I CANT PUT DOWN.

[@rasmusmuller4549]

@@bartbart4702that's objective, depends on the player mate. I would put SD in any of my guitars🤔

[@MFKR696]

Good to see someone else using lab-bench power supplies (the Kikasui he's using). Only person I've ever heard of using them, other than myself, is Angus Young. They truly are a secret weapon when it comes to tube amps.

[@jasoncrump1886]

Mark and Myles are such great guys and incredible musicians. I lost my son Phoenix in August last year and heard Blackbird for the first time just randomly a day or two after his funeral and man that song hit me so hard. That's our boys song now . Tear up everytime I hear it. Pretty wild that's what Mark was playing at the intro of this vid.

I have a pre-birds 2009 Tremonti SE. Always loved it, but when I put Seymour Duncan pickups and a TonePros adjustable wraparound bridge on it... it's my favourite guitar now.

Best band ever!! And all of the members are the coolest dudes around. So down to earth and unbelievably humble.

A knowledgeable fan that can listen. What a wonderful interviewer!

[@phunkym8]

what a cool guy. no rush, no tension or awkwardness. you can really tell that some musicians are happy they can nerd out about gear and some who seem annoyed theres another label mandated interview for some music magazine they couldnt get over with fast enough.

[@velutumbra]

Gear nerding and good musicianship is hard to come by in the same package. These guys know what and how they are doing it.

[@Frizzfry1240]

Possibly the greatest rig rundown, Mark is a brilliant guy

[@albertosotelo9969]

I saved for like 10 years to get a Tremonti SE, during lockdown I got fired from one of my jobs, I had 3 at the time, but that was the main one... when I got the boot I thought, you know what? I have been taking sht from every job I have had since I left college, I have not been on vacation for like 8 years, so I pulled the trigger on it... It is great, and what it represents there is just so much sacrifice put into it, and to really feel the quality, it is just on another level

[@MaximeSalmon001]

Ok I understand why I love so much the boss Rev 6. It's just the sound I was hearing for years for intro parts

Their sound guy is probably the highest paid in the industry, I spent most of my time right in front of the stage, but I did move around to different locations within the venue to get a sense of the sound in a whole and it was amazing!!!! No matter where you were at in the venue the sound was amazing!!!!! One of the best bands I have seen live in the last 20 years!!!!!! Being a guitar player and singer, I love to GEEK out on these rig rundown videos!!!! I totally understand the gear and the passion the players feel and talk about when describing their TOYS!!!!

[@jroc6166]

Being that PRS gave him the greenlight to do a soft reveal, should mean we arent far off from its launch.

[@JohnWiku]

At 1800 it's not really that affordable, but the tone is gonna be worth it. At 1500 or less it'd be affordable, more than that, it's just a luxury item that not many can afford....
