“I’m not anybody’s best guitar player. I’m not the fastest, the most knowledgeable, the shreddiest. I’m none of those things. But I play and it sounds like me”: Mark Morton on the chemistry behind Lamb Of God's twin-guitar groove and what he owes ZZ Top

Mark Morton of Lamb Of God takes a solo onstage with his prototype signature Les Paul .

But it would be remiss not to mention that, in Lamb Of God, you could argue that the auteur of their sound sits behind the drum set.
