CONFUSED METAL FAN'S first REACTION to MASTODON - Steambreather [Official Music Video]

FUNNIEST music video ever??

[Hld]

Mastodon: *has a classic catalogue of albums and songs, is one of the fundamental metal bands of the last two decades*

Reactors: *only listen to "Steambreather" and "Oblivion, " never touch the band again, go back to covering Gojira's and Tool's deep cuts*

The drummer is the vocalist in this music, they have 3 vocals: Troy Sanders (bass), Brent Hinds (guitar) and Brann Dailor (drums)

Mastodon is so good! Their music is serious (mostly) but their videos are usually not serious and I find most of them distracting. But definitely do more of Mastodon. Also, try the band BARONESS, songs like Shock Me or Chlorine and Wine.

I friggin love this song. Idk how they made those massive drone sounds, but that totally is the icing on the cake in the first half, then they just riff out in the second half. Such a good track from a really interesting band: thrash-pog into like true metal prog. Great band.

Mastodon Toes To Toes….. thanks so much for the react. 👍

[NickBAXRT]

You are a musician who likes metal and you haven't heard of Mastodon until now? Dude. Seriously. Do you live in a hole?

[dougc]

Check out Mastodon - Oblivion. Three of the four band members sing different parts of it, epic. I love Steambreather, it and Motherload round out my top three from them.

[chiphargis]

All the songs are serious but they make funny videos because they’re silly guys. The video and song almost never correlate

[daduka]

Mastodon i very special band!!! Just as Gojira and Opeth, they are simply another level...

[Lateralus]

While this band has a distinct sound you can't mistake too often for anyone else, they do have a variety of style within their own sound throughout their catalogue. It doesn't all sound like this. One of my all time favorite bands and I've been listening to music since I was born, in the 70's so that says a lot for me. Appreciate the reaction.

My guess is that they are showing a serious subject. But with Mastodon, you're always going to get sense of humor. Check out their other vids. Masterpieces.

[dougc]

And for something really out there, different, and very good check out 'King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard' - Crumbling Castle

[TheVadrigar]

Mastodon are great and funny! The drummer is their primary vocal here, but 3 out of the 4 members sing.
Just tip if I may- include the band name you're reacting to either in the thumbnail or in the beginning of the title.

I don't think you can call yourself a metal fan having never heard of mastodon up until a year ago.

[bartonbagnes]

You could try Brothers Of Metal "One" (not a Metalica cover). Or Wagakki band "Homura". Alien Weaponry is another one to look at. And last I suggest Small Town Titans. For a good video check out NF "Story".

[shmaisrael]

Did you namedrop HELMET there? Another group that I truly love and have seen live, so i can say with confidence that if you like Helmet, you will probably appreciate the main riff in Babymetal's 'Doki Doki Morning'. About the Mastodon song: I have a feeling that you also do (or would) like most of Chris Cornell's work with Soundgarden, Temple of the Dog, Audioslave; I think it's a similar style of singing (but of course Cornell's voice is/was so much better, such a tragedy that he's not around any more).

Good review! Subbed, cheers from Canada

Hey Danny you like the guitar?...Try bringing up Tina S. I think you will dig
