Is anyone else here absolutely addicted to Blood Mountain? I really love how Troy's bass cuts through the mix perfectly. It just seems like there's not a whole lot of chatter going on about such a kick ass band and bass player on the boards. |

I think their albums are getting better and better with each release, Blood Mountain being the most recent and best. Troy is such a good bass player, especially considering that he's the main singer. When I saw him, he was playing a P-bass with a humbucker in the bridge position. The bass was sunburst, only instead of orangey-brown, it was gray that faded to black, with a black pickguard. One of the coolest basses I've ever seen. |

I heard he got his Fender Prophecy stolen. |

And I like Trivium, I've seen them live twice and I thought they were horrible both times. |

| | | | Seen them three times - awesome band. Love all the albums. They're the best metal band since Black Sabbath, in my opinion. |
06-27-2007, 02:52 PM
| | | | Great metal band. Progressive metal without the pretentiousness, hair metal singers and 20 minute guitar solos. |

| | | | great song structures, there one of the few bands that give me that feeling in my gut when i watch them. |
06-27-2007, 03:38 PM
| | | | They don't play at their best when supporting another band though, for the real Mastodon watch them on their own tour somewhere small. |

You guys see Metal: A Headbangers Journey where he talks about being a 10 year old completely into Iron Maiden blah blah blah, and then said at age 12, he needed something a god bit heavier (enter clips of Slayer)...
...Mastodon is what you listen to when you need something heavier, they are NOT in the same ballpark. as for Remission, its like comparing Undertow to 10,000 days, definitely different worlds again. I dig both of them. Crystall Skull, megalodon, and crusher destroyer are my three favorite tracks. | | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
