The ESP Guitar Company

Try and follow along with us here.

Will Adler is, of course, the riff-wrangling guru from Richmond, VA-based metal band Lamb of God. Willie has been an ESP player for years and years, and has his own collection of ESP and LTD Signature Series guitars. Got it so far? Okay. When Lamb of God was getting started, they were called Burn the Priest. They did shows and released demos, a couple of EPs, and a full-length self-titled album as Burn the Priest between 1994 and 1999. It was, in fact, when Will joined the band, that they changed the name to Lamb of God.

So, out of the blue, in May of this year, Lamb of God released an album of punk and alternative covers called Legion: XX, but for the first time since 1999, they did it as Burn the Priest. And in the video below, Will is playing the awesome riff from the song "Kerosene", which was originally performed by Steve Albini's legendary punk band Big Black. Just to confuse you a little more, in this clip, Will is not playing his Signature Series guitar, but instead is using one of his new favorites... an ESP USA Eclipse with a flamed maple top in See Thru Black Cherry finish.

Now enjoy Will's riff.
