I'm ready to get flamed....

Not in love with Mastodon. I won't turn them off, but its rare I go looking for it to listen too.
The only album I own is Leviathan. I'm just not moved.

I'm not a huge fan either. I saw them in 2000 at the fireside bowl in Chicago, opening for drunk horse. It was an odd pairing. I remember liking them, and recognizing Brann from Today is the Day.

Saw them one out two more times in the next two years. I dig them live, but the albums always left me a little flat.

Nothing wrong with them, just not my cup of tea.

whas up doomers.

I finally got my stuff together and found a new job/industry to work for. so far its great. don't know the internet policy yet so now im 2 threads behind. they seem pretty chill but big on safety and stuff so I have to wear a white lab coat, goggles and gloves most of the time

the cable access kids show aired, it was a lot of fun. since we weren't really playing I got to pretend that im a real bassist and use my fingers instead of a pick, ha ha

the kids dug it...

finally found a use for my kooky MIJ guitars. in the vid im rockin an Ibanez axestar headless and my bro was using my Imperial guitar which is like a jag-strat with a gumby headstock. drummer brought a frying pan and pretends to cook eggs or stir fry, im not sure

no to tattoos, yes to piercings (non-visible only)

definitely yes to cheap beers. pbr, old style, high life nightly

yes to mother natures sweet gift

whoever decided to put that fretboard star on that otherwise killer looking dirnt bass should be shot\

the new Dracula show is awesome

I've wanted to do a cover off of that record for awhile, never quite worked out though. Night of the vampire would be cool, but it's been covered a lot already. Stand for the fire demon is another good choice. It's not the easiest stuff to cover, no one can sing those songs with as much conviction as Roky did. He really WAS standing for the fire demon.

Bummer the Strat neck on the Tele body bolted right up smoothly, but intonation was off to to where I would have to move the bridge on the tele and then the through body holes wouldn't line up and I don't want to mess up the gorgeous paint, time for a tele neck a little bummed but found out I dig a tele body with P90s more than I thought I would. I know of a guy who builds tele baritone necks and he will put a strat headstock on it and bolts to stock teles, hmm, baritone or standard scale length that is the question.

you should look into it ron. tell me that wouldn't be hilarious! plus free video to splice into an official vid later. during that taping they played some other slow weird music that was impossible to dance to but the end result was great. kids will dance to anything if you tell them they r gonna be on tv. (don't take that quote out of context please)

would be hilarious if you brought all your cabs even thought they weren't plugged in. in fact that should be mandatory
