Everything I've heard from Mastodon has been pretty lame but then I've only heard stuff from music videos and on TV so maybe I just saw their 'commercial' sounding stuff.
There's definetly a lot of great bands that play this type of old meets new style. Sweet Cobra, Doomriders and Lair of the Minotaur are all worth checking out. |

I personally much prefer their latest album to Remission, and feel that Crystal Skull is the song they were born to write. Their style is rather unique and their song structures are always pretty interesting.

But they did play a great set, Colony of Birchmen kicked ass. |

I've seen sweet cobra a couple times at chicago shows and there always a blast to see.
I got some beef with their singer/bassist though. I was trying to stage dive at a show at the Logan Square where he was working security and he grabbed me and threw me off the side where there were no people. Fell a good 4 feet right on my back. |

Vocals are a lot less hardcore-ish on this one (never cared too much for that style).
And I know this is a forum for bass...but what about those drums?!?!  Quote:

LOL  - not trying to derail the post, but that's one of those bands I could listen to for years straight IIIIFFFFFFF they had a different singer. Iron Maiden too - I don't do hardcore vocals, but that hair-metal-ish NWOBHM* style vocals gets under my skin!
*See New Wave of British Heavy Metal (Maiden, Priest, etc.)

| | | | I saw internaut <however you spell it, and Kylesa open for Mastodon. Mastodon played for two hours. In the pit some 6'4" 250lbs guy picked me up by the kidneys and tossed me (Im 5'9" 130lbs) I had to leave for two songs because it hurt so bad. |

I'm a fan. Crack the Skye is the best new album I have heard so far this year. Blood Mountain and Leviathan are also solid. |

I was also turned way off by their cover of Orion, mostly because of the bass.
