Just because they are basically "one of the best live bands around" does not mean they are good live. My boyfriend likes Mastodon (and I don't) but even he agrees that they sound shit live. They just do not put on a good show/sound live. It sounds like crap.
In exactly how do they sound crap? I've seen 'em before and they are fantastic live. I don't expect fancy stage productions a la Maiden or Kiss what I do expect is good old fashioned Progressive metal, and that's what I get.
I'd be intrested to know what your boyfriend means by them sounding crap live.
To each their own I guess.
I just meant that they can't perform well whatsoever in all aspects. Their vocals are poop live as well as the instrumentation. I had to see them back at Mayhem Tour in 2008 and they were the worst band there imo. (I wasn't about to lose my seat though so I just stuck through it).
I can't believe you thought Mastodon were worse than Five Finger Death Punch and the entire Hot Topic Stage. For music technicallity Mastodon were the best band on the bill. Unless your the headliner(s) you don't get to 'tinker' round with your sound settings so alot of the time you can't get or indeed give the best experience in such settings.
Dude I was in the hospital wing during FFDP's performance so I don't know, lol. I caught about 3 minutes of them and then went to sit at main stage to wait for the main performances (Mastodon were first up, DragonForce, etc.)
Yeah, blah. I was all excited about Megadeth/Slayer/Machine Head. Then it was postponed and Testament replaced Machine Head... but this was still very cool. Now, ugh, it's postponed again and I don't know what's happening. Sucks.
Tom Araya of Slayer is getting back surgery after an injury. That's why it's postponed.
And it may even be cancelled somewhere down the line.
I need to f*cking know so I know whether to get my money back or not. Dave Mustaine needs to speak up or something.
Went to see three local bands last noche, one of which was good. The final act was three very silly-ass clowns with v-drums and 2 moogs hooked up to looping pedals and sound samplers. It was amusing watching people dance to their shitty electro-trash dance music -- for about 5 minutes -- then I left.
