Have tickets for Friday night's show in Pittsburgh. Has anyone seen them on this tour? Just wondering how their live show is? Haven't been to a good metal show in a couple of years.
I know we've been to Ohio and I know we've never been to Toledo, and i know i've never smiled while wearing a speedo.

    I'm going to fuckin Pittsburgh tomorrow night to visit a friend and I forgot all about Mastodon being there. It's probably too late to get tickets now. Son of a bitch.

    you're in for a good show. they played for about an hour and a half when i saw them, but it was a pummeling hour and a half. i hadn't been to a metal show in quite some time, but i was really glad i went. i guess it was a good mix of all their stuff. i don't really know, i've only heard Blood Mountain.

    i saw them open for Clutch in Lancaser, PA a few years ago.. they were touring on Remission. very very good band. i liked Leviathan the best though. i'd go see them again in Lancaster but i won't drive to Philly to see 'em. (lancaster is about 25-30 minutes away, Philly is about hour and a half).. if that means anything to you.

    The show was cancelled because they are attending the Grammys. I shit you not. I was supposed to go, too.

    Their live show is pretty fantastic...old stuff blends really well with the new and the "pummeling" description hits the nail on the head. While I feel good about all of their stuff, Blood and Thunder live is amazing.

    All these new metal bands (mastodon, trivium, killswith engage, etc) would never have gotten record deals 10-20 years ago. Man, do they suck! No, lets get sacred reich back and show these boys how its supposed to be done.

    You've lost all credibility in the space of one sentence. There are always certain 'metal fans' that shit on anything new and namedrop older bands in an effort to seem both knowledgable and in possesion of good taste however your inability to distinguish between Matstadon and the other two bands shows this kind of attitude. Mastadon are a sharp technical outfit and there will inevitably be those who ignore them based on an illogical stereotype, I feel sorry for those people, they're missing out on some great music.
    What capacity shows are they playing in the states?
    I'm seeing them ina club that'll just about hold 300 people :D So I'm looking foward to it.

    Honestly..I'd never heard of this band until I saw posts about them on the boards. Then one of their songs came on the radio the other day and I figured I would give it a listen. I found it really really awful.

    But then again, I think 99percent of music on alternative radio sucks now anyway..thank god for the good ol days and cd players in the car and at home.

    Just my opinion though...

    Ok first of all lars and all the others who don't like them sorry you don't get it but these guys don't suck. They have quite a bit of talent. Maybe you don't dig them and what not but they are one of the best metal bands making new music today. A lot of the other stuff out there like lamb of god etc i don't care for much but these guys jam pretty hard

    i've seen them a few times already and i've always had fun at their shows.

    sure they probably are one of the best metalbands out there...that just tells you what a terrible state the metal scene is in. They do suck

    Judging by your name 'lars' you might like lars ulrich? I might be wrong, but if your name is referring to ulrich, then you have no right to talk about metal....that cocksucker is far away from metal..all he does is bitch and moan about money..on that matter metallica has sucked for a very LONG time..

    Back to the topic...Mastodon are an amazing group, but a lot of people dont like them because 1) They aren't PJ 2) They aren't AIC. 3) They aren't Soundgarden.

    It's time to cut the mullet, dude. Nobody cares about what bands you don't like. Summarily dismissing new music doesn't make you smarter than anyone else. Just old.

    I don´t need a nickname to state my opinions. Yes, I´m probably older than you...you sound like a crying baby. And yes the old metal is better than the new....and that´s a fact....fuckhead!

    Turn off VH1 Classic, cut the mullet..maybe that will help.
    Why do you think Newsted left? Because he was seeing that they were going down a road of suck..so he left... Brann Dailor > Lars Ulrich x10
    and if you have ever seen metallica live, you should already know that Hammet fucks up riffs all the time..and that new bassist well sucks

    comparing raw talent Mastodon > Metallica

    Wow, Rob Trujillo does not suck, have you heard any previous stuff? The man is a generously talented bassist, and an enteraining one as well. His work with Suicidal Tendencies also shows the range of material he is capable of working with.

    Metallica's studio 'efforts' suck dick after the Black Album with the exception of Garage Inc. and to say otherwise is, well, just plain ignorant. Also, Lars Ulrich is a poor drummer, just listen to ...And Justice For All, and before you argue, Lars and James have PUBLICLY STATED ON FILM that the drumming on that recordwas poor, (What where we thinking?"). I'm not bothered which band you PREFER however, at this moment in time, Mastadon are a technicaly superior band, they don't go for catchy riffs or hooks, instead they create dense and intricate pieces of music for the better trained ear. Though Metallica have dramaticaly honed their live performance (their playing on the 06 tour being the best in YEARS) they do not superceed Mastodon.
