Johnny C:
Mastodon is for yes, guys. This is the overall moral.

Dude, don't even worry about it. I'm just telling you that people can like heavy music and not like Converge.

I've seen Mastodon live, and I was pretty unimpressed. Though, it was on the unholy alliance tour with Slayer, Slipknot and Hatebreed, so I suppose they automatically get to be second best band of the evening...

You can kinda tell by the company they keep. Too much of a generic modern hardcore vibe coming through. Maybe I need to give them another listen, but I can't remember thinking them anything special next to, say, EyeHateGod, Cult of Luna, Crowbar, that sort of thing. And apart from the really, really stoned shit (Electric Wizard, Sleep) all that's not really my thing.

Besides which, I'm not sure there's much space left in this world for awesome  , heavy albums that rely on massive drug consumption. I mean, they've been coming out pretty constantly since the seventies now, and it seems to have just become a sort of hipster thing almost. Sludge and drone bands, and to a lesser extent American depressive black stuff, is getting WAY more mainstream critical attention than any other genre of metal right now, and it's really starting to bud off from the rest of us in a lot of ways, if it hasn't already. I know quite a few sludgers who'd punch you in the cock if you accused them of being metal in any way.

Will:
I'm watching their set on the Relapse Contamination DVD from a few years ago right now...my vote is that they're awesome, but I can imagine that in a stadium-type atmosphere like the Slayer tour, they might not be as good...I just enjoy the fact that (at least on the dvd) they all look like they're having fun...Troy looks completely happy to be doing what he's doing

I don't know, I went to the Unholy Alliance concert a few weeks ago and I thought they put on the best set. As much as I like Slayer, they aren't very special live. IMO, the best sets for the evening would have been:
[*] Mastodon
[*] Children of Bodom
[*] Lamb of God
[*] Slayer
[*] Thine Eyes Bleed
[/list:u]

It was pretty cool though, during Slayer's set, Troy and Brent(Bass and Guitar players respectively) were hanging out by the gate. I was able to chat with them a bit and they're really stoked about the new album. I'll definately be picking this one up when it comes out.
