birth date?[edit]

Equipment/Pickups[edit]

I have seen video interviews (Guitar World?) where they suggest that they play with Seymour Duncan '59s as is indicated here on Wikipedia's Mark Morton page. However the Willie Adler page suggests Willie uses the JB in the bridge position (as does his configuration for his signature guitar from ESP). And the 'Setup' Page ( [1] ) for Mark Morton suggests that he uses an Invader bridge and a Jazz Model in the neck. Does anyone know any more information on this? Perhaps changing equipment over time or unique setups per album (or even live)? 63.85.214.4 21:50, 1 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I know that he also uses Seymour Duncan SH-13 --88.106.119.11 13:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

:: Even in the current picture ( [2] ) he appears to be using an EMG pickup and a Seymour Duncan, so yea, go figure. 63.85.214.4 15:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Family[edit]

Mark and his wife are expecting a baby in August '09; someone should add that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.180.76 (talk) 19:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Slipknot[edit]

I saw this on a few sites but not sure how legit it is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrpemdasrescue4 (talk • contribs) 00:51, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you're "not sure how legit it is" then don't add it. Wikipedia is for verifiable information, not for rumors and "I think I heard this somewhere". WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:09, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect or deletion[edit]

@Rosguill and FMSky:, Lamb of God is the basis of Morton's notability. As noted in Rosguill's most recent edit summary, I agree Morton lacks adequate merits of his own to justify a stand alone article and I redirected to band as an WP:ATD. If there's no consensus for this, I feel the alternative is indeed deletion. Graywalls (talk) 21:07, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

He has multiple solo releases including a charting album https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anesthetic_(album) and hes covered in tons of reliable sources (independently from Lamb of God), see the ref/external links section--FMSky (talk) 21:10, 7 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
