RK it god awful. Mastodon all you fags hate anything that does well because all your bands suck more than a green paris hilton. I can't hear people who post anonymously. |

I know a few kids grabbed a couple of them, but the main song i wanna know is what they opened with. Death by Stereo played a pretty decent set, for my first time seeing them as well, although i would've liked to hear more older stuff from them. As was previously posted, the mix was pretty horrible, with the guitar BS; I dont know if he could hear his mic through the monitors, but the vocalist should've just switched his mic early on, his cable looked kinda ragged. As for Cult of Luna...I really wasn't into them at all. Not to mention the fact the place was pitch black as they played. Just because they're Swedish doesn't mean they're great, ya know...the feel i got from them was watered-down Doom Metal. If i remember correctly, they played at about the speed of Older Cathedral; but as i said, i wasn't into them that much, so i tried not to pay too much attention. Overall, it was a pretty good show, and defintely worth the cash. |

It might be out of order a bit Elephant Man (Remission) Hearts Alive (Leviathan) (not sure about this one) Naked Burn (Leviathan) Island (Leviathan) Where Strides the Behemoth (Remission) Megaladon (Leviathan) Aqua Dementia (Leviathan) Mother Puncher (Remission) Crusher Destroyer (Remission) Blood and Thunder (Leviathan) Seabeast (Leviathan) March of the Fire Ants (Remission) The Bit (Melvins cover) Encore Hail to Fire (Lifesblood) I believe that was all the songs they played, in almost that order. If anybody knows the exact set list, correct me. |

| ___________________________________ [May 12,2005 1:34pm - dreadkill ""] also, i never expected mastodon to get the hype they have surrounding them, but i definitely think they deserve it. i wouldn't call them overrated at all. even if someone doesn't like their style, it's hard to deny them credit. i think some people like to bash them simply because liking them is the cool thing to do these days and these people want to be elitist anti-everything. believe me, i'm kind of a music snob/elitist myself and sometimes i'm overly critical about music and make it less fun for people around me, but i only give up on bands i like when they start putting out crappy music. they can gain all the popularity they want, and even though it sucks that trendy kids start liking good bands, i still support the band until they submit to the cliches of the trend and/or write shitty music. |

You sound like highschool kids...Anyways, Mastadon was awesome. They slayed it last night...Oh, BTW, they opened w/ Hearts Alive. |
| ____________________________________ [May 12,2005 4:25pm - anonymous ""] DAMN IT! I was hoping that the rev would go to hoods, donnybrook, since the flood, and colin of arabia in haverhill...come on rev, where are you priorities??? |

Since I guess it's their thing to somehow mention the Elephant Man on their albums. Opening with Hearts Alive is just about the best thing ever. I could hardly hear the vocals real up front, but moving back a little everything was clear. Though, as much more of show this was, I enjoyed them alot more the first time I saw them downstairs. |

I didnt watch death by stereo but they sounded like shit, even though I used to listen to them a LOT. I only saw the last 2 songs of cult of luna (even though that lasted at least 20 minutes), I thought it was really cool that they played in the dark. It sucked from a photography stand point not to be able to use any flash, so I set my camera on open bulb and made like I was shooting star trails. I have no idea how they're gonna come out, but we'll see soon enough. Cult of Luna's first CD is WAY better then the other 2, even though the new one is still awesome. Anyone who likes neurosis or isis (old or new) will love these guys, and like mastodon, the further back in time you go, the heavier/more metal they get. Mastodon was awesome as always. I think Troy was stoned out of his mind, but it made for some really cool pictures and they still put on an awesome show. Mostly new stuff, but still old stuff. The sound wasnt perfect in my mind, but it was still cool. Way better then last time I was there but not as good as it's been others. I dont know what the hell DBS was doing on that tour. Probebly whoever designed the tour package threw them on there for their own reasons, but who knows. They are cool, but only for the type of music that they play. Whatever. I also think its gay how Mastodon got marketed towards the mainstreem when leviathon came out. Using a quote like: "Mastodon is a 'bands' band" is a lame way to advertise, but advertisers are gay anyways. Yeah they are a band that won't be appreciated by everyone, especially hard core kids that have really closed minds and metal kids that refuse to listen to anything that isn't as heavy and fast as vital remains(who I like a LOT by the way), but anyone with an appreciation for GOOD music knows what the hell is up with bands like that. And it aint just passing the bong either. |
