Mastodon - Interview

[MrGamerBazer]

lol to be honest mastadon beat metallica in every aspect now (obviously ride the lightning etc is epic) but technically they are loads more talented and far more decent human beings lol and by that i mean lars and james are immature little kids. Sorry for hate just how i feel about em.

[MrGamerBazer]

@MrGamerBazer Mastodon even :P

[jaripa100]

I ment Great!

[DoomchildXXL]

@jaripa100 You're hilarious. XD

[jaripa100]

Geat! 

[clashnroses]

"we're kinda part of the same circle, theres is just bigger then ours; ours is more like a trapezoid" wtf hahaha

[freakin1random]

do you think he actually doesn't like it, or do you think he's just too hard on himself.

[Sublime333X]

@freakin1random he was joking dude

[kornoffthecob03]

I made my gamer tag Def of Glory (as in Definition of Glory) just because of this interview.

[TheWezel1995]

They have awesome beards, but their not the only band that has them. Lamb of God has them too!

[batmayn123]

He's like a metal version of dumbledore

[MrSawyer88]

@batmayn123 We're call it DUMBLECORE.

[TheMcDooger]

@MrSawyer88 DUMBLECORE LOL!!!!!!! BRILLIANT!!!!

[TheToadSaidGo]

he never includes that he's also the lead singer :P

[lionslicer9999]

@TheToadSaidGo he doesn't consider himself a lead singer.

[TheToadSaidGo]

@lionslicer9999 I think he his. Definitely more than Brent more that matter

[UKRCyanide]

I'm from Manchester ;]

[FiestyMclovin]

"Ours is more like a trapezoid."

[dupersloby]

it looks like they're are interviewing Rasputin

[Thatdarndoug]

it looks like they are interviewing Rasputin

[killmeandit]

Troy = beast.

[samking247]

the Metallic'rs FTW

[MrFluffyLion]

i tuned up the volume cus i heard oblivion in the background

[Stratocoaster08]

Am I the only one that get's slightly pissed when people spell it "Mastadon"

[WindWalker940]

@Stratocoaster08 yes, it is spelt 'Master'doers ;P

[mm5192]

"..I'm really not good at anything." While fully knowing he could hold the entire earth up upon his mighty shoulders. Troy Sanders you are a modest man.

[ShamusJC]

I like the geometry lesson in there about a circle and a trapezoid lol.

[haircutbob2]

Troy is such a cool guy. He's so chill, and seems like he'd be awesome to hang out with. And such an amazing bassist.

[Ralphioli]

this guy is like seananners but turned up to 11.

[JWG1994]

@Ralphioli I was thinking the same thing...

[dinoman89]

Awesome interview- fkn hilarious :) I can't tell if he seriously didn't like Metallica or if he was just joking around for comedy's sake.

[disturedinhead]

i cant stand mastadon only like one song blood and thunder 

[Zeppelinm16]

@disturedinhead Then go watch another video, dumass.

[disturedinhead]

i cant stand mastadon only like one song blood and thunder

[dinoman89]

@disturedinhead What's distured?

[McNuggetButt]

what is he smokin??? he so goofy, but it's awesome

[cRazyBassBiTch]

please come to the U.K soon...i miss decent music, loads of australian bands need to start coming over here too...cog for one

[g00mba00]

only colonel saunders could help create someone great like this.

[hisuleiman]

that beard is fucking sick. how does one grow a beard that long?

[warped666]

@hisuleiman Part genetic, part time and care.

[dubgreen76]

Metallica always asks all these bad-ass bands (that are way better than they are now) to come on tour with em. To make themselves look better I think. Mastodon, Lamb of God...ect. I wish just once one of these bands would be like "Nah, that's cool. You guys are terrible now and are 100% gay". You know most of them are prolly thinking that anyway. I guess it's just an opportunity you can't pass up as a band. Sucks though...none-the-less

[loknloll]

@dubgreen76 i think you're wrong. if you ever felt anything for metallica, and loved certain records by them, and then Lars Ulrich called you up..... hey dude, just imagine Lars Ulrich calling you up.

it's also a ''passing of the torch'', like ozzy did with metallica back in 1984.

[dubgreen76]

@loknloll ~ Yeah...I'd hang the fuck up and block the number. I haven't felt anything but sadness and hatred for them since like '91.

They really need to hurry up and pass that shit...they've been "passing the torch" for 7 or 8 years now.

[loknloll]

@dubgreen76 your record company wouldn't let you...lol. as i was writing the ''pass the torch thing'' i realized exactly what you said is true. they've been passing the torch since forever. i was a complete freak for them during the good years, i was absolutely mental for the albums from the 80's. Master came out when i was 16 and it was mind blowing. there was simply nothing else like that. since Bob Rock came along, i too have felt sadness. but hatred? chill dude, it's metallica...

[loknloll]

@dubgreen76 and it's not like i ran out and bought Death Mag-shitbag. that's just metallica pretending to be metallica.... and like you say, i feel some sadness there. but the band that wrote ride the lightening, call of kthulu, battery, damage inc., shortest straw, harvester of sorrow.... i will always be grateful to them. they are as responsible as Black Sabbath for the origins and evolution of modern metal.

[dubgreen76]

@loknloll ~ Easy Capn' fuckstick, no need to get snippy. We basicly agree on everything. I have all that they did in the 80's on muh ipod right now. I saw 2 shows on the Damaged Justice tour in '89. They were my absolute favorite band from '85 - '91. I'm grateful for all those older records. I just took it kinda personally (as did alot of their fans) when they let Bob Rock facefuck 'em for so many years in the name of cash. That's all. I know that they're responsible for metal as we know it...

[loknloll]

@dubgreen76 captain fuckstick? nice one! i totally blame bob rock for metallica getting of course. they were perfect, and bob rock fucked it all up. cheers buddy. the captain...

[dubgreen76]

@loknloll ~ Ha....I had to say something to counter the shitbag comment.

They were perfect. Bob Cock single handedly destroyed their music. Fucking mutilated it and tap danced all over it. They have no credibility now. I wouldn't take one of their newer albums if it had an 8-ball of coke taped to it.

Take it sleazy. The shitbag...

[loknloll]

@dubgreen76 sorry dude, but even St. Anger with an 8 ball taped to it would be welcome in my house. you can use the CD case to chop the sniffy!!! (and grind it up with the CD itself...)

[koryakapelinal333]

@dubgreen76 Metallica brings great bands on tour with them to make them look better? You realize that that's the opposite of how the logic usually goes right? Your comment implies that 1) That everyone agrees with you on the quality of Metallica's music and 2) that Metallica isn't still one of the greatest shows you can get, in metal or out of it-these implications are both wrong by the way.

[lethalbydefault]

@dubgreen76 Yeah. I don't think any band will turn down Metallica. They play to like 10,000 people every show. That is a lot of people to get your music too, and I'm sure the money isn't bad either.

[OoohAPurpleTurtle]

hes like seth rogen

[Ploj102]

@OoohAPurpleTurtle and brent is zach galifianakis

[ResidentDoom]

I actually agree with Troy on Crack the Skye. It's just not the same when compared to the earlier albums, but it's still alright.

[TLaitharex]

Metallica, can't even compare to these guys.

[BiggyTalls93]

What do I think of Crack the Skye? How about one of the greatest metal albums of the last decade, and one of THE BEST albums ever create by man. Yeah, that sounds about right.

[cRazyBassBiTch]

@BiggyTalls93 after listening to crack the skye i just thought wow, i can't see how they are gonna top it with their next album, i cant see anyone doing it myself, its just pure class

[BiggyTalls93]

@cRazyBassBiTch I know right? Every successive album from Mastodon has been able to surpass the one before it. I really can't see how they'd be able to make anything better than Crack the Skye, unless fuckin Odin was their producer or something lol. Like they'd to harness some celestial power to make something better than that.

[davethehostage]

From a respectable dictionary: "Glory" - "See Mastodon (band)".

[blackcorn3]

Glory_very great praise, honor, or distinction bestowed by common consent; renown: to win glory on the field of battle.

[Fucker686]

I LOVE METAL!!!

[APPLEAPPS1]

They will

[vipersix6]

nice! I went to high school with Troy. Great guy

[Thismeaningtoitall]

Neurosis jacket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[CrankThatPropaganda]

I LOVE this man, Troy is amazing.

[Dill1090]

Troy is fucked up on something

[SpiritOfRadio2112]

@Dill1090 fucked up on glory

[MCJA94]

COME TO KAMLOOPS BC

[sio42]

[MCJA94]

[Theshiggityshwa]

Woo! Met him in Fargo!!!

[worldofmetallicraft]

easy breezy, cap'n cheesy

[GuimoXoX]

I'm a man but....troy had a good voice hahaha

[xHelloMyNameIsJesusx]

Honestly, I've never heard one of these guy's songs but I think I'm gonna give them a listen. This large turd sounds quite intriguing. ;)

[thefakeivo]

Now that's a beard :D

[Akathepriest]

Goddamn... Metallica, Lamb of God and MASTODON WTF TOURHEAVEN!

[Just4Lawls]

Lol... crak the skyes is a large turd.. gotta love troy

[crapshter23]

Mastodon and Metallica, are like the best bands... Too bad metalica isn't as awesome as they used to be

[HQEY]

i hope they dont go the same way metallica in the future

[vivis82]

Che figo cristo!

[punishment177771]

Saw them with Dethklok at the House of Blues in Dallas !!!!

[XculonX]

He inspires me

[rex2t]

He has something in his beard

[YemiTheFiendKing]

Troy Sanders looks like Aragorn

[Zebraboar]

I think he looks like rasputin

[l337man4]

@Zebraboar I second that completely. Coincidence that the new album has stuff about Rasputin in it?

[amanda96030608]

@l337man4 I third that

but wat is Rasputin??

[l337man4]

... The Russian mystic who started the cult of the Chlysty? read more into Crack the Skye, and you'll see a bunch of shit about Rasputin on it. Wiki him, he was actually pretty interesting.

[Titant2]

@YemiTheFiendKing

Only on Dutch green ;)

[SecretTrip]

amazing band!!! they were epic in wolverhampton!!

[SBCrystal]

You know, a good band is always humble and Troy seems to have a good head on his shoulders as well as being a badass bassist and vocalist. I love his subtle sense of humour.

MASTODON RULEZ! <3

[explosivemints]

haha yeah he's a cool dude and he is pretty funny. i wish i coulda seen them with dethklok that would have been sick

[jamesrocks4eva]

I saw them at Rock city, Nottingham. They were awesome. I love Troy and his immense beard!

[Zozipo]

One of the bast bands currently, no question about it.

[killmeandit]

@Zozipo one of the best bands of all TIME!!!

[Zozipo]

@Zozipo Fair enough! :D

[Zozipo]

@Zozipo

[Jm00sh]

[squeezeslemons]

@Jm00sh Yep Mastodon = best band ever, I feel bad for other bands knowing that they will never compare

[basskid24]

Seeing them this wednesday on my birthday. I love life.

[WhoeveryouR]

Represented Atlanta

[DROPD5150]

I was Blessed to see them with an audience of maybe 300 people at a small club in Seattle tast April at the beginning of their Crack The Sky Tour!!!AWESOME!!!

[summatswrong]

yeaah, i was there to witness the initial glory in sheffield, fantastic gig

[cupcakestereo]

God damn this guy is a fucking character

[jyoung0000]

We need character, FUCKING BADLY!! This band is very needed!

[1337pur3]

you don't know english that well, do you?

[rockaholik505]

the metallicers!!XD

[cooliomon78]

Wow, I really wish Mastodon was touring with Metallica and Lamb of God when I went to see them a couple months ago. I had to listen to volterbeat (or something like that) play instead. Life is cruel.

[LightThingsUp]

metallica is coming with mastodon to my country =D i think is the first country they are coming, for the metallica tour (mastodon)... i live in costa rica btw

[LightThingsUp]

nvm about the first country lmao i just saw the vid... i wrote the last comment before watchin the vid

[aids696969]

@westlifeizqueer lolz

[Metirovan]

indeed... i like his character switches

[EtherealWaves]

This is the coolest looking guy the planet!!!

[Mokumbo]

crack the sky is insane! it blend old skool metal with the good ol mastodon doom metal combined with their experimental mind blowing thunder its great.

[Salobatera]

massssssssssssssssssssstodon!

[Wizarrdd]

Troy is some type of Metal Goblin.

[MoonMaster77]

He is a really great down to earth guy. LOL. ah OBLIVION is playing in the background.

[intolakebodom]

haha you can hear brent in the back laughing. Mastodon is just as big as dethklok, co-headlineing, they're an industry now.

[apeirce20]

Haha i really like Troy he's really down to earth

[rubsak476]

@apeirce20 these guys are weird but they make damn good songs

[GAMERDEATH54]

Easy Breezy

Cap'n Cheezy

[imafoofighter1]

I also hope these guys become bigger than metallica

[ZomgGuitarz1234]

Sadly that wont happen, unless they sold out like shit. As in playing popular music instead of what they original started making (like metallica did).

[SOADVSSOAD]

Lol i like him, his back up plan is to do voice overs...or under lol.

[LunaticRotten]

Can anyone tell me, from which brand his hat is?

cheers out there

[fuckenjordan]

I hope these guys become bigger than metallica

[askldjj]

I think they could be the next led zeppelin

[masteroflicks]

I totally agree. Every album they release just gets better. Only a handful of bands can do that.

[thisguy12343776767]

@fuckenjordan na dude..... what if they sell out like metallica? i bet NOONE saw that comming

[Yggdrasil447]

metallica never would have sold out if cliff didnt die, he held the pieces together i feel, and mastodon is just too good to make shitty music. dont worry we'll never see a mastodon st anger it wont happen

[jkjl234]

@fuckenjordan i dunno if that's possible. they would be the band to do it though

[9kjamal9k]

@fuckenjordan

Not that i don't think Mastodon are AMAZING!

But i;m a huge metallica fan.

Nothing will ever be bigger than metallica also its kind of stupid you would say that.

Metallica is speed metal, Mastodon is Prog-Metal.

[TLaitharex]

@9kjamal9k After they opened for metallica, the concert was pretty tame.

[9kjamal9k]

@TLaitharex Well fair play, but you must agree with me, however mastodon are big and very talented.

Metallica are world metal giants

[TLaitharex]

@9kjamal9k Quite True.

[APPLEAPPS1]

@fuckenjordan

They will

[blockedtube]

now you have said that you get it more! you must learn from this mistake

[D3MONxOFLiFE]

NOOOOOO!!!!! YOUR THUMBS HURT ME!!!

[10Maloy]

XD wow

[D3MONxOFLiFE]

i want his beard... and his hat!

and his voice!

shit i just want to BE HIM

[immortalx50]

ololol fanboy

[RoboSpleen]

Metallica should open for them

[ParanoidChickenKilla]

@RoboSpleen I saw them open for Metallica toghether with Lamb Of God....I actually thought they rocked more! but maybe its cos They were the first band i ever saw!

MASTODON RULES!!!

[panteradeth]

[ramm45]

I have a serious man crush on this dude.

[omgbrbabbq]

yeah dude, he has a sexy ass voice. and beard

[ramm45]

I have a man crush on this dude.

[Stirrethcharybdis]

RATED M FOR MATURE

nice.....Troy is hilarious but he always seems like hes completely out of place.

[englishrose81]

i love this man! but uh, yeah....i think there is some sort of food substance in that beard of his

[JullenaBurcham]

wasted

[jakedeez24]

Troy is awesome, but does he have food in his beard?

[sio42]

The met-alicures..

The metalicures....

lol

[ehawkinstx]

Rofl I always wondered who said Rated M for Mature

[Spunkboyben]

4.26 was the best moment of my life.

[DangerRifai]

This man is awesome. The Mastodon dudes are so cool and genuine - especially Brann. Brann is the most down to Earth rockstar around.

[SpasmOfJoy]

Mastodon+Lamb of God=Most ORgasmic metal Experience ever!!!!

fuck metallica -.-

[codeaires]

Troy is so incredibly sexy. It's a damn shame he's getting married next month.

[Breakerfall12]

cuz you stood a chance in the first place

[Progressive90]

If anyone knows, can you PLEEEEAAAASEEE tell me the brand of troy's beanie? cheers...

[fertuiee]

hahaha anyone spot Ben from Winnebago Deal walk past at 3:09?

[MrBirdlady92]

Mastodon is the fucking balls, however, I believe that Vallient Thorr may have better facial hair.

[Breakerfall12]

i think you got thumbs down cause they thought that balls comment was negative
