Mastodon Band • Page 6

lets goooo

 

I can't believe Emperor of Sand was 2017 holy shit, the boys are due

 

Great album

 

so good

 

Still their best imo

 

Whoa

 

good

 

Have felt some kinda way about this band with him in it and I'm glad I no longer have to.

 

This one goes out to the Mastodon guys.

 

End of an era. Hopefully he can take this as a move to better himself. Assuming he’s not interested in the band and just his overall vibe has been not great/problematic

 

wait whats the deal with brent

 

Well he was pretty gross in an interview where he said something to the effect of Dream Theater being “queer shit” form what I recall…

 

This is just my biased feelings but I had a virtual guitar lesson with Bill a little after hushed and grim came out. Fantastic dude. At the end he asked if I had any questions related to the band. I asked about songwriting and if he imagines vocalists with his riffs when writing etc. he mentioned Brent only sang on what he wrote and gave me a serious vibe that he was difficult and/or checked out. He went into an (unasked) lengthy discussion about how being in a band is about making things work and how some people get in the way etc. really left an vibe on me that Brent had been an annoyance to him and difficult to work with.

 

Brent reposted some stories on Instagram that I saw today that make it seem like it may not have been fully by choice. He commented on the post “MastodonE” or something

 

oh that's sick, dude is basically a mastodon expert from youtube

 

Uncle Ben!!!

 

damn talk about getting called up to the majors

 

Does he play in any bands? Not familiar with him

 

Uncle Ben is a sick grab. I imagine Troy and Brann just taking all vocal duties?

 

What I've read is he's a YouTube guitar guy. Relatively good reception though, I need to check out his channel.

 

This was Ben's first big Mastodon video. I use a lot of these tricks in my metal band too, especially the 7th fret up harmonies on riffs.

 

I actually used the exact thing starting at 1:30 in this song from my band, that I picked up from watching that video.

 

Ooooh I’m actually subscribed to him lmao I recognized the profile picture, didn’t make the connection.
