It is stuff the three of us have written collectively.” Kelliher additionally famous that Mastodon plans to complete the report up this 12 months, so who is aware of who performed lead guitar on it – possibly Kelliher?
On the identical subject in the identical interview, Kelliher famous that whoever Mastodon will get to hitch the band ought to be one hell of a guitarist. “We’ll need to see. My lead guitar abilities are respectable sufficient – however whoever we get goes to be gentle years forward of me. So it is dependent upon the half and the tune and if there are particular leads that I write that I need to play.
“If the opposite guitarist is like, ‘Hey, I wrote this,’ and I prefer it higher than what I wrote, we’ll use his half. I positively write for the perfect of the tune and what’s greatest for the band.
“I do not get my emotions harm when somebody’s like, ‘That riff will not be that nice.’ It is like, ‘Okay, I will simply write one other one or change it.’ That goes for leads as properly. So, so long as it is what’s greatest for the tune, it would not matter who performs it. So long as it matches, it is superior”
