15? That's old for Jimmy. Maybe 12. 

sorry, but any metal song that has die in it is immediately awesome 

So true!

I saw Mastodon with dethklok.

and dethklok's audio was like 2x as good as Mastodon's. They just didn't sound right live. Maybe it was the sound guy's fault, or the venue's fault. I really don't understand how they could sound that much worse than dethklok. But then again, dethklok was the headliner....

I don't want to say that I like or dislike them live seeing as how I've only ever seen a couple of youtube videos. But from what I've seen they don't seem like they're that great live. I'm absolutely in love with all their albums though. 

I love Mastodon on album. I've seen them live four times. They suck live. 

suck it

a picture of the real battlefield to give you a feel for what they really rode into

aw tits, that picture has actually been refuted, at least in regards to Crimea.

well imagine it was like that or worse. 

So I just booked mine and a friends ticket to Bloodstock - a 3 day metal fest.

Including:

Opeth
Meshuggah
Gojira
Behemoth
Devin Townsend
Fear Factory
Children of Bodom
Bloodbath

I'm camping with a load of Ozzies, and my liver is already taking out an insurance policy.

It looks sweeeeeet though. 

omg i hope fear factory plays their cover of cars! 

man i need to pick up some more napalm death 

Bloodstock looks amazing, I'm on holiday though. Meh. 

Been listening to this French black metal band called Celestia a lot recently:

well knock it off 

go do some poopies.

I kinda dig it. 

I'm not the biggest black metal fan,
and I dig it...so that must mean SOMETHING. 

I dig depressive/ambient black metal.
Mgla and Xasthur and I Shalt Become and whatnot. 

I tend to steer more towards the American black metal type.
A little more gritty and thrashy. Cleaner vocals. 

you guys need to listen to some vengeance rising and get right with god 

Genghis Tron is weird. I like them.

Also, what's the consensus on the Deftones? I gave their new album a try and liked it, but it all felt a little samey by the end. 

There isn't one.
I'm not a fan, though. 

i've tried to like those guys but it just doesn't happen 

I'm listening to it right now.
Can't really figure out what's going on. 

I thought some of the songs around the middle were neat, but nothing groundbreaking.

All in all it feels like an album meant for playing while sitting around while stoned. 

HOLY SHIT

These guys jam out the most amazing cover of Metallica's "One" I've ever fucking heard, in my entire life, ever.

Jesus, I think it's actually better than the original song. Amazing.

well that's just mean

but at least they had a music stand out with what is probably tab but it looks all legit 

is that the new rickroll of 2010? 

I will make it so. Mark my words. 

fire away, just remember that idea did not come from me. 

just got an offer to go see Slayer, Anthrax, and Megadeth. I mainly want to see Slayer. Tickets are 97 bucks. Yay or nay? 

Nay. 

Meshuggah on the most metal holiday ever:

Hmm, 97 dollars, thats about 74 euros... Yay. Not too expensive at all. I'd go in a heartbeat. 

Seconded, I'd definitely go. 

Is it $97 for one or is that the total of all tickets being purchased? $97 for one is outrageous if you're only going for one band. 

If you're going to see Jem and the Holograms it's totally outrageous! 

97 per ticket. And as far as I can tell, it's just those three bands. The seats are decent, lower balcony right in front of the stage 

I'd check how much it costs to see Slayer in concert by themselves or in a larger tour with bands you like, first. If this is the only opportunity you'll have to see them for a while (which it may well be with a band that popular) then you you might want to jump on it. If they tour around your area often and it's less expensive for other tours then I'd say to save your money. 

I would never pay $97 dollars to see those three colossal let-downs. 

i paid a little more than that for 2 tickets to see that tour, floor pit passes up front. cant wait
97 each to sit in a seat, no. 

Time for some motherfucking MAYHEM fest tomorrow! MEGA pumped. Hatebreed pits are always the shit. 

I just got Call of the Mastodon. I have to say I'm not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. It usually takes a little while for albums to grow on me before I can really start to enjoy the music, but this just seems like everything I don't like about Mastodon in one album. 

Because you suck.

First of all, stop being a dipwad.
Second, it's not an album, it's a collection of previously unreleased material.
Third, if you prefer anything that they released after Call and you are not idsaluteyoubub, you are a turbodipwad because that's when all the coke and acid caught up to them and they started doing their psychedelic fantasy wank shtik.
Fourth, if someone comes in here and starts ranting about how I mock and dismiss anyone who doesn't like what I like, I would just like to point out how not metal that is and I hope Norway burns your house down. 

what the fuck are you babbling about? 

Everything.
Enjoy your Trivium and hippie drugs. 

I'm currently all about some Lightning Swords of Death

you started in on Mastodon and caught Rabbi smack in the middle of his PMS...bad combo. 

but i love mastodon, they're probably my favorite band. this album just doesn't do it for me though
