MASTODON SET TO TOUR WITH METALLICA AND CRACK THE SKYE

[stuie323]

avenged seven fold is this generations metallica/megadeth! dont hate appreciate.

[TheStupidPsychoBob]

dude Mastodon and Metallica is the best man, im not really much of a metal person but those bands kick avenged shitfolds ass!

[CPRpaintball]

shroomer albulm for sure

[AttilatheThrilla]

nobody hates your new album Brian dont worry!!

[ultimatefighter187]

while i personally believe metallica is the best band ever....i still think its amazing knowing that two of my favorite drummers are under one roof (lars ulrich and brann dailor ;))

[letsgopff]

first they toured with down now with mastodon. its a sigh of relief to know that metallica draws half their crowd with the opening act.

[Ridethelightnin69]

dream lineup

[jmaconejo]

I'm going to the Metallica / Mastodon concert in CR :D:D:D:D:D:D

[treblaze420]

I'd be leaving early for that show

[EtherealWaves]

lol same here!

[sirallanv]

It's good to see that we're allocating lots of time to this extremely important issue by arguing online.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

MetallicA needs to be alone on tour not touring with these queer as fuck bands like Mastodon. I mean when they came to UT in 08, Mastodon played like 30 minutes of tallica's whole show

[pzcope85]

good then don't listen to them... faggot

[biggestMetallicAfan]

Did i call you a name? nah i don't think so.

So if you just want to be a dipshit like you obviously are. then fuck off.

[pocketfiend36]

Haha, you mean mastodon needs to go on tour by themselves without queer as fuck bands like Metallica. I mean come on, they had their time, they are old now, and they havent put anything good out since "Black album"

[biggestMetallicAfan]

Ok, yes they are old, and yes their stuff isn't that good anymore.

But guess what they are still the 7th biggest selling band in the WORLD. DO NOT call them queer, they are far from it.

Mastodon is the queer, there no where near as big as MetallicA.

You really don't know the good ol bands do you, if you did you wouldn't have called one of the biggest something like that huh.

[itarethetroll]

"biggestMetallicAfan" Ugh, fucking Metallica fanboys. Popularity and success does not equal quality. It's funny how there are so many people who listen exclusively to Metallica and consider themselves metal fans. Open your fucking mind and get more music. There's more to metal than Metallica. Being the best-selling Metal band doesn't make them so. Thriller is the best-selling album, do you really think that makes sense? I love Metallica, but they aren't the only metal band. Listen to more music.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

You know what FUCK YOU!!!

First of all YOU DON"T KNOW ME AND YOU CAN'T JUST ASSUME THAT THAT'S ALL I LISTEN TO!!!

Got it!!, I DO NOT consider myself a metal head at all, i might be a major fan of MetallicA, but that's not all i like, i listen to alot of Bob Marley, PinkFloyd, even Elton John.

[itarethetroll]

Pretty entry-level, man. You need to expand your tastes beyond extremely popular artists that everyone knows. Pink Floyd is the biggest prog rock band, Marley is the biggest reggae, etc. That doesn't mean best.What you said about Mastodon is pretty ignorant. You haven't even listened to them, yet you judge them. You like Pink Floyd? Well, that happens to be one of Mastodon's main influences. Mastodon makes intricate compositions that sort of all go together in one album, much like Pink Floyd.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

Once again, your assuming you know me.

I have listened to mastodon a lot and i personally think they suck.

And i don't need to expand my taste in music, i listen to what i like.

One day i might listen to Rammstein or MetallicA, the next all listen to Marley.

And just cause mastodon is influenced by PinkFloyd does not change a thing, i still don't like them.

[itarethetroll]

That still doesn't justify your insulting of Mastodon. I doubt you've really listened to a whole album. If you genuinely don't like them, then it must be too technical for you. No surprise, really. Your intelligence level is apparent in your comments.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

Dude what the hell's wrong with you?!?!?!?!?!?!

YOU insulted MetallicA in the first place, which sparked up this whole argument.

And i don't like Mastodon SO WHAT, it's obviously a problem for you, SO GET THE FUCK OVER IT MAN!!!!

And my intelligence level? Yeah sure

[itarethetroll]

I never insulted Metallica. I said I love them actually. Also, your intelligence is easily inferable from all of this.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

First Fuck you for insulting my intelligence, it's more than you will ever have.'

2nd, you did insult them, as i recall (popularity and success don't equal quality)

that's saying they suck right there.

[itarethetroll]

I said I love Metallica. I'm just saying that being the most popular metal band ever doesn't make them the best. There was no insult to Metallica in that. Your low intelligence level, like I said, is easily inferable from your lack of 2nd-grade reading comprehension ability.

[biggestMetallicAfan]

You just gonna be a dick and continue to insult me?

You might not think they are the best ever, but i do.

It's your opinion against mine, i don't give a damn what you think about them and i don't understand why you have such a big problem with me not liking Mastodon.

And sorry sunshine, if i had bad comprehension i couldn't be a flying for SkyWest now would i.

[ogznog]

@itarethetroll I'd say their biggest influence was Neurosis.

[metalwillhatecrew]

Actually I'd say that High on Fire is a bigger influence to them than Neurosis.

[TYLERBECKER94]

@metalwillhatecrew For sure, I mean they meet at a High On Fire concert! Pretty cool actually

[thebledcore]

@itarethetroll new metal takes a shit on metalica. i mean god people still get a boner for metalica when we got between the buried me what the fuck is wrong with people.

[DuringCreation]

@thebledcore i agree, metal has evolved drasticly since metallica. but that doesnt mean metallica had a huge affection on bands today:) mastodon and BTBAM are my fav bands today, but metallica is still amongst my top 5

[BakerMassacre]

I remember back in about February, I was searching for a new cd to get and I came across Mastodon. So, I went out on a limb and got "Crack the Skye" and it was the best decision on a cd I have ever made.

[Yowzow]

I saw Dethklok, Mastodon and high on fire saturday

beat that!

[Rocker267]

im going to see them

[NilsEbbesen]

[colinhammond2k7]

[marcyboy123]

i hope avenged sevenfold was booed off stage.... they should not be at a concert with MASTODON.

[gloriosokaiser]

totally agree with you

[bigpeteswackshack]

fuck yes. A7X sucks. how dare they call themselves metal

[tcbshaded39]

Agreed 100%. Can't stand A7X

[benslooking4junk]

I grew up with Brann in middle school! He was cool back then! I even met his sister Skye a few times! My buddy knew her too! I have so many questions for Brann, if I ever get to meet him again! You Go Brann!

-Ben from Rochester Greece Olympia

[jninja12]

you must have been lucky to meet Skye before she died:( I was looking at rolling stone and it showed a pic of Brann and Skye in late 1980

[sigmar182]

Oh my god you're lucky!

[decastrado]

Yesterday I saw Mastodon, Metallica, Lamb of God, Machine Head and Slipknot for 50 euros. That rocks.

[suchanjv]

Thats badass! I seen Machine Head last week with Slayer and Megadeth, also very badass!

[masterbassist93]

ur canadian, right?

[suchanjv]

yes.

[masterbassist93]

yeah, i remember seeing something about those bands doing a tour in canada

[Snakeyx]

OPTIMUS ALIVE!!! i was there...

[sigmar182]

I´m going to see Mastodon, Lamb Of God and Metallica in 12 days! I payed fucking 1500+ dollars for the trip and the show! It´ll be worth it!

[mybelly1]

any american dates???

[jninja12]

whats the song at the begining sounds amazing

[Brett21794]

Crystal Skull from Blood Mountain

[cod4h3rs]

the wolf is loose i think

[dontpissmeoff666]

Hey i saw Mastodon last monday got to talk shortly with Brann they came to my hometown in montreal quebec and believe me i can tell you one thing iseen the best goddamn show in the world Crack The Skye is in french you would say un chef d'oeuvre in english masterpiece the best band in the world period MASTODON FOR LIFE!!!!!!

[tassidar86]

have you even heard the album it is insane!

[Shockheadd45]

Oh, and Crystal Skull is the shit, especially the swinging, intricate riffs they play. But Brann's double bass, toms, cymbals and crash cymbal fills and snare rolls, and jazzy-progressive, drumming is always the best parts of their songs

[jninja12]

Brann Dailor is amazing my friend says theres no talent involved in metal drumming but i told him thats its filled with insane fills and shit

[Shockheadd45]

If Brann heard that, a stick would've been through his ears before hearing the first letter of Brann's name. You're friend is retarded but nonetheless, I respect his opinion.

[nickfkd76]

thats one concert i would kill to see. this new metallica music is 'ok' but they still know how to put on a good show. and mastodon kiks ass regardless.

[bakerskater180]

man its in europe....

[WataBeeest]

Can they Come 2 RI.....PLAESE!!!!!

[Grimeyhoob]

Im disappointed Mastodon are touring with Metallica, cause that means ridiculously expensive tickets and standing around complete closed-minded twats that only appreciate one style of music (thrash). I used to be a metallica fan until Justice and until I went to one of their shows and realised what an overhyped brand name they are. I hope to god Mastodon never become a brand name corporate novelty act like Metallica.

[sabu43v3r]

are you fucking retarded metallica puts on one of the best shows of any band from any genre

[m522280]

Mastodon is what Metallica was. That's huge. Great Metal music by a great bunch of guys. Metallica is a novelty act now. Mastadon is great metal/ Second only to Neurosis IMHO.

[eelwj]

i'll never understand comments like that. YOU dont know what goes on in these bands, and what is so wrong with having your music heard by millions of people? Its not like metallicas brittany spears, come on.  and justice for all is arguably thier heaviest record, and its fucking awesome!

[snowblind1121]

AMEN brother...i 100% agree wit u...grimeyhoob is just a 12 year old noob that has no idea what a phenomenon metallica was when they came out..yea yea i kno later on after justice they started to change but its something called evolution my friend...nobody can ever take away what metallica did POINT!! and by the way MASTODON is a beast...they are a force to be reckoned with!

[hot69wheels]

This album is like nothing they've ever done, but I love it. My favorite way to appreciate it is on a long run...I just play it from front to back.

[alexilaihoisgod666]

haha me too!!!! I love it!!!!

[JuiceBoxBiotch]

Some of you metal guys aren't gonna like this cause its way prog with a metal attitude. I'm a prog guy myself and I dig ALL the Mastodon albums, and this is the direction I was hoping they'd go. I gotta admit though, I didn't get it on the first listen...after about 5 or 6 it's probably one of my favorite albums ever.

[RossWildish]

I love the new album, has a nice sound and atmosphere to it. I wouldn't want them to be doing another Remission of Blood Mountain, I like the fact they experiment which is why Mastodon are so good.

[hellojackathin]

crack the skye was the turn i was hoping mastodon would take. i love it.

[7SteveVai7]

their best album so far. That's where they showed their real creative talent. Nice evolution too

[alecornator]

what the fuck is up with the new mastodon album, i can't stand it, and everyone else says its fucking amazing. their first 4 releases were sick, this one, not so much.

[Mantretter]

if you're looking for a heavy sound like they use to, then i can understand why you don't like this album. I love all of their tracks from Remission to Crack the Skye. It's all good.

[tonytherockerboy]

Yeah, its very different. I still like it, but I prefer the old stuff. Divinations pays homage to that I think.

[dchalf10]

i didn't like it at first now i love it, give it a listen front to back

[marcyboy123]

when you listen to oblivion i can imagine them like floating in purgatory and playing it

[abelineshis]

Yeah Crack the Skye their new album really kick ass dudes, the 1st track is fucking amazing "Oblivion", but i consider that something is missing, i dunno, blood mountain was a.. more complete album.

[Ions11]

Crack The Skye kicks ass! 'The Last Baron'!

[prhommie244]

their playing "Crystal Skull" from Blood Mountain

[DestroSpec]

what song are they playing?

[teenagezombie101]

OMG OMG OMG OMGOMG MASTODON AND METALLICA OMGFDOGMDFGMDF

i just jizzed in my pants/ .dgjk :DDDD

[Gitarpunk]

Dood thats awesome. Mars-1 artwork behind them playing.

[Kingman1989]

Ahhh I like both bands!

[AlexLococo]

i like mastodon better than metallica

and brann is waaay better than lars

=)

[afro66GMK]

word

[ryangt47]

lars is nothing compared to brann!!! Brann's style is way different and better......but both bands have different music so its your preference about liking which one better....i love both the bands....these 2 are definitely in my top 5 favorite bands....

[RisingDevilOfChaos]

mastodon respect metallica and although i am a fan of both bands metallica are way better that's for sure

btw i can't wait for crack the skye!

lars sucks compared to brann

[ajrapps]

id never say "lars sucks" because he's an amazing drummer...but i would say Brann is on a much higher level and is my favorite drummer of all time!

[RisingDevilOfChaos]

nope he doesn't suck because i love metallica for years now-but compared to brann (my favorite drummer too) he is nothing-but if you love a band you accept it as it is-not by saying for example lars-kirk-rob-or hetfield suck, like some shitheads do

[uralegend987]

@AlexLococo i agree 

[SirRunk]

Artisan News Service fucking sucks.

Who are these retards doing the voice over?

[thedoors436]

Release the record already! come on. It should have came out this month. I should be listening to it right now. I CANT WAIT ANYMORE IM GOING INSANE!

[unknownoink]

...from a fan in new zealand...mastodon rule the skye...

[DerrickthePinecone]

My boys from Atlanta never fail to bring the heat!

[secretsoftheninjas]

awesome!!!

i already knew hehe...

CANT WAIT FER THAT!!!

[a7xfan66]

is that the album cover at :55??

[dapunkof1975]

If it is it looks pretty bad ass

[Infuzor]

Sadly it isn't.

[jcfractal]

Hey no Metallica vs Mastodon shit. Metallica deserves respect for their song writing and performance on DM. Mastodon is my favorite new band, and I already heard divinations, awesome!

[leechproject]

Will they be releasing a single before the album comes out? I hope they do. I can't wait much longer. Btw, I love how everybody here is talking about mastodon and not metallica. sort of funny.

[TheFroggynator]

Mastodon beats the s**t out of Metallica.

[cky1066]

thats bullshit! europe gets all the good shit. metallica's touring with the sword and machine head...not bad...but NOT mastodon :[

[thierryman]

Very true, I just hope Mastodon goes with some pretty good shit when they tour America

[mastodonrock96]

Mastodon = My favorite band of all time.

Metallica = My mate's favorite band of all time.

We are fucking going! Ahhhh! I love my life!!! What a time to be alive!!

[Sceptile89]

Mastodon sucks.

[mastodonrock96]

ha ha ok. Some will never have the pleasure.

[CyZquatCh]

That´s why you came here to watch this fuckin video about new tour and album... loosers...

[Shockheadd45]

Your name sucks, so closed-minded, fucking Mastodon hater. I bet you only like Metallica's first 4 albums because they were Thrash Metal, not the fact they had experimentation, mood and progressive influences on their records. Like how you say "Oh, Call of Ktulu and Orion rock! Bu I'll ALWAYS like Master of Puppets or One better" Some fans of Metallica and Mastodon you guys are.

[Sceptile89]

Was pretty Naive with that coment i've take it back:D

[Shockheadd45]

Glad to see you finally seen what we hear a lot. Mastodon rules.

[acandycolorednick]

A-fucking-men

[Shockheadd45]

I know, right? Speaking of awesome Metal bands and drumming, does anyone at all listen to Death besides me??

[gregmonk5]

YESS. Just learned crystal mountain today \m/

[Shockheadd45]

Awesome. Metal is always great and unique.

[guitarandass]

wearing a death t-shirt right now :D:D. just listened to sound of perseverance and then crack the skye, im in a progressive mood

[CyZquatCh]

You live by the success of others... have a good life!! but whatever..Mastodon Rocks anyway

[keidall]

wow! one song is five parts....awesome!MASTODON RULES !!! CAN'T WAIT ..BEST SHIT IN YEARS!

[OffWithHisHeadBand]

i think it's four parts but it will be awesome

[Mastomoth]

The album art is on the banner in the background.

[Infuzor]

no, its not the artwork for the album, sadly. I've had these pictures from some artwork for a time now.

[metadethica]

That would be SOOOO sick of they jammed Orion together. I don't listen to much Mastodon but they're very good, and I love that cover

[green11420]

YEEEEESSSSSSSS! Mastodon fuckin' rocks!

I can't fuckin' wait to hear the new stuff!

[chisox91]

fucking sweet!

[JeyKobe]

This will be epic!!

[DKfansown]

fuck yes dude. i met these guys in a bar after a show of theirs, they are incredibly the coolest guys around. can't wait for their new album.
