There's no way they can go on without Brockie. I mean, they can try, but it just won't be the same. His voice is so unique and is such a big part of their sound that some dude with a generic metal voice would ruin it.

He's also, for lack of a better way of putting it, the creative/artistic director behind it.

Does anyone know of any kid's Mastodon shirts? My friend's eight year old boy has a birthday coming up and he's into the band, by way of his dad. I checked their site but it doesn't look like they come in kid's sizes.

Try a men's small here http://www.rockabilia.com/browse/artists-groups/m/mastodon.html?apparel_type=577

Sorry. It's the best I could find.

I remember thinking when I was younger that it'd be great if GWAR outlasted KISS (I really hate KISS, mainly because Gene is loving loathsome), but if everyone involved is being treated like shot, gently caress it.

Loses points for not having him say "Metallica" in that really weird high pitched way he sometimes does at live shows. Jim Breuer used to have a bit making fun of him for it.

I'm fairly certain that noted World of Warcraft player and goony motherfucker George Fisher does not take his job that seriously. Cannibal Corpse is awesome for what it is. I hope you both get Followed Home Then Killed.

I was listening to a streaming metal station once and he introduced a live version of "hosed with a Knife" as being "one for the ladies". I think there's at least some self-awareness there.

Not sure if it's cool to ask here, about this but there are two books about extreme metal I'm interested in

-Lords of Chaos
-Choosing Death: The Improbable History of Death Metal and Grindcore

Also, if these books suck, are there any other good books about extreme metal?

When I went to Ozzfest 98 in San Antonio (a very metal-loving city, somehow), they haaaaaaaaaaated Primus. Just all heckling and flying bottles (and it had nothing to do with them having just released Antipop).

That's unfortunate because Primus are supposed to be quite fun as a live band.

It's not super complicated for me: I'm capable of liking metal and other genres with dumb lyrics, but if they have something personal to the writer or something I can relate to, it's a nice bonus.

Lamb of God are the new Pantera in the way that matters most.

If I witness five fat racist pieces of whitetrash abusing an Indian guy on a train loudly and relentlessly for being foreign late at night, they used to wear all be wearing Pantera shirts. Now they're all wearing Lamb of God shirts.

This makes me sad for 2 reasons:

1) I like Lamb of God
2) Randy Blythe does not encourage that kind of poo poo to my knowledge, he seems pretty progressive and such (regardless of how you feel about him killing the guy accidentally)

Which is funny because I saw Pantera live with Morbid Angel and Slayer ages ago (whenever that tour was) and Phil came out on stage and said "For all you skinheads out there, 88 baby"

I've had Grimoire -"L'aorasie des spectres rêveurs" on repeat all week and can't get enough of it. It's a one man band release, atmospheric-black metal from Quebec. It's not the most metal description, but I've it found hugely uplifting. I only wish it was longer. There's an earlier 2011 release that's quite great, too. Reminds me a bit of Petrychor and Agalloch.

I think the Black Album is mostly pretty good, and Load and Reload would be fine as one record with best stuff from each making up the tracklist. But St.Anger is loving awful, and Death Magnetic is just straight up BORING.

Funny you mention this since the Dead Kennedys that are touring sans Jello have apparently praised Republicans and the war in Iraq on stage. What a joke they've become. I initially though it was just Jello slinging mud but had it confirmed by two people who went to DK shows.

Completely unrelated, but is GWARBQ ususally worth it?

There was some interview with Vinnie Paul a couple years ago where he said that he pretty much does the Hellyeah stuff to go on the road whenever he gets bored since his actual income comes from his nightclubs.

I imagine he still gets a fair amount from royalties and merch, as well. I mean, Pantera records have probably sold about as much as they're gonna sell, but I still see people wearing Pantera shirts all the goddamn time.

It's funny, for a long time I assumed I was missing something with Pantera because I didn't much like them, but the more people I meet, the more I think that the people who like them just severely overrated them because they'd never heard something as heavy as I dunno, Drag the Waters before. Then again, I've noticed around here that any band that puts pot leaves on their merch has some degree of popularity, and people around here inexplicably love GG Allin.

LD50 is certainly worth a spin or two. This diminishes as you move through more recent albums. First album is sorta like Primus on bath salts, lots of insane slap bass but with Corey Taylor vocals, then later albums are like Disturbed with ADD
