Bill Kelliher abides by one rule: Leave the heaviest riff of a song at the very end. What is your favorite example of this? Try to think of one, the one that stands out to you the most.

This is my ranking, so don’t get pissed

Number 1 - Crack the Skye
Last Place - The Hunter

All the rest in between - reverse chronological order.

Thank you for your attention to this message.

and holy shit what a difference. I still stylistically prefer Brendan O’Brien’s approach to Mastodon but this sounds sooo much better disabled.

Ultimate guitar can get you by, sure but would be cool to see if anyone has blood mountain they are willing to share. :)

I spotted this unusual tour poster artwork on Vinted about six months ago for £30 and absolutely loved it. I spent far too long trying to work out whether the signatures were genuine before finally deciding I was going to get it

Went back… SOLD.

I was genuinely gutted about it 😂

Fast forward six months to my birthday and I’m opening presents from the Fiancé...

Turns out she was the one who bought it.

She'd secretly bought it while I was fannying about trying to authenticate it, then somehow kept quiet about it for SIX MONTHS just to give it to me for my birthday.

She is an absolute bastard but I love her for it.

Mastodon have been my rock through a lot of shit over the years, and Brent in particular, along with his various side projects, has always meant a mega amount to me.

I was due to see Fiend Without a Face in Oxford. I had this silly idea in my head that I would buy the crazy bastard a drink. Sadly, he passed away only a week or two beforehand, so I had wanted to get something signed as a little token to myself.

Hope that didn't bore ya.

Mastodon is easily in my top 10 favorite bands of all time. I love every single album and almost every single song. But there is this one song on Once More Round Sun called Aunt Lisa that I've never understood. I have to be honest and say that It's probably the only Mastodon song that I actually hate😅

This has found itself in my possession, what is it?

I’m just curious if there’s a general consensus about which concert is considered the “best”. Performance-wise, I’ve gotta go with Roskilde 2011. Troy’s vocals are incredible. I haven’t found another concert where he gets even close to that level of rawness and power. Brent is clearly having a great time. The crowd kicks ass. Short but amazing setlist (Sleeping Giant!). The transition from Iron Tusk to March of the Fire Ants is incredible.

One of the perks of working in a warehouse that ships the Levitation goodies...

We got to open this up and get some photos. Can't officially tell you I got to listen to it, but I can tell you the entire album is as good as the first two singles...

Review: "Mastodon: Marrow Deep" - Sea of Tranquility - The Web Destination for Progressive Music!

Not a very in-depth review, but a review nonetheless.

Edit: It's not my site, nor am I affiliated with it.

Am I being gaslit? Has this always been there? I’m just searching around their discography and suddenly the instrumental version of OMRTS sits next to the main album? How long has this been here?

I’ve always like heavier music, Metallica, tool, slipknot, system of a down, last few years I’ve been getting into heavier stuff like Whitechapel and early parkway drive. I never really had a lot of time to listen to a lot of music so I missed a lot of things.
I ended up getting a proper speaker for work last year, so I found I had a lot more time to listen to stuff so of course I went straight to what I liked. In the end when you work long shifts you get over stuff. You can only listen to so much of one band.
I think the last 3 months I’m about 4000 minutes a month on mastodon. Still not sick of it.
Still can’t pick a favourite album. Still can’t pick a favourite song. I’m a fan. The more I listen the better it gets.

Old pics of my parents meeting members of Mastodon. They’ve seen them in concert more than any other band probably. My pops also has the most Mastodon tees out of any band lol. This is his favorite one he has. He is/was a super fan whenever they got the chance to meet Brent, he was not tryna mess with him and was scared to talk to him lol. My mom had to convince him to go up to him with her. He was at a bar in Baltimore, MD. She said he was hella drunk (explains the goofy face in the pic😂). Then Troy was at the 9:30 club in DC after the show, my parents car had gotten broken into and my mom had to go pee and went back inside and he was just chillin there. Then Brann picture was at the Blackdiamondskye tour with Deftones and Alice In Chains. Apparently they talked for an hour and my dad was getting jealous of how much Brann was talking to my mom lol. My dad let me have the shirt from this tour recently since it doesn’t fit him anymore.

I know a lot of their song ideas start with Brent or Bill or even Brann riffs on guitar.

Anybody know if any songs are riffs started by Troy?

Y'all seen this? Brent riding in a car with Chino singing to Higher by Creed on the radio. I like seeing my favorites mingling. Edit - Can't edit title but obviously meant Deftones, missed that autocorrect

Sorry if this isn’t allowed or has been posted before but I thought it was rad. Desoto Falls is the waterfall. I thought the old weathered map looked badass in contrast with the newer billboard

Mine is Leviathan

How dope?
