Mastodon was formed in late 1999 when drummer Brann Dailor and guitarist Bill Kelliher moved to Atlanta from Victor, New York and met bassist/singer Troy Sanders and guitarist/singer Brent Hinds at a High on Fire show.[5] They discovered they had a mutual appreciation of sludge metal bands Melvins and Neurosis and '70s hard-rockers Thin Lizzy, and shortly thereafter formed Mastodon. In an interview in 2009, Kelliher revealed that the first time Hinds attended a practice with the band, he "showed up so wasted he couldn't play".

The band recorded a demo in 2000, which featured the band's first lead singer, Eric Saner on vocals.[5] Saner left the band for personal reasons after just a couple of months. After recording a four song demo and a 7-inch picture disc through Reptilian Records, Mastodon landed a record deal with Relapse Records in 2001.[5] They released an EP, Lifesblood in 2001 and their first full-length album, Remission, was released in 2002, with the singles "March of the Fire Ants"[5] and "Crusher/Destroyer" (which was also featured on Tony Hawk's Underground). On each of Mastodon's first three full-length albums the last track relates to the Elephant Man.

I personally love troy sanders vocals. One thing thta keeps these guys interesting is the fact that they sound very different than the stuff that made them popular. THey've progressed in every way. Classic band.

Saw them live with Baroness. Amazing show. Fuck you if you think they suck. Go listen to your crappy music.

[TheMorfiend]

I love Mastodon, but that was a bad performance regardless of the piss poor sound levels. Black Tongue sounded much better, but along with Jools' awkward comments between songs I feel they were really sold short for such a great band.

[hiks45]

it was a famously LOUD metal band playing for a tv show, cut the guy some slack

[Darren Saint Darren]

Fire that sound guy, indeed. That was so cringe-worthy at the start....

[AxeSwanger]

Dude, every metal show I've been to had a bad sound engineer. You can try to blame the venue for its acoustics, but it's really the sound man's fault.

[whoohaaXL]

Kill the sound engineer, I can't hear the bass drum for shit, and the drums in general are not powerful enough.

[Cytagasm]

the smell from that huge an arsehole must have been incredible

[Danneman93]

I love how Troy is always making faces at everyone.
