Metal Reviews

Masturdon are a musical joke compared to Dream Theater. Everything about Dream Theater is ten times better, at a minimum.

come to think of it, i dont think mastodon should be commenting on peoples's looks

Well, Mastodon are usually very tongue in cheek in all the interviews I've ever seen, so I can only hope they're just fuckin around with those comments. I mean, I'm not really that big on Dream Theater, but saying shit like that to the press is just stupid.

/\ /\ Ditto.

Now hold on, there. Both are great, but the sudden ending on Pull Me Under spoils it for me every single goddamn time.

Hmm, for me there is no comparison between Images and Words and Leviathan. The former is so much better. Blood Mountain is very cool however and a big improvement.

Album vs album, ok. They're different bands, really, so it's sily comparing. I listen to Mastodon more, although I need to get more DT.

Same, actually, although I do listen to Take the Time on repeat on my headphones mostly when walking about Leeds. And scoff at the puny mortals walking by that don't realise how r0x0rz it is.

I do that, but with Just A Minute on.

I propose a drum-based battle to the death between Dailor and Portnoy.

I'm not a fan of Mastodon, but i agree with them on this one.

"I think what might make us 'cool' and them 'uncool' is the lack of egos in our band. We don't try to show off our amazing versatility every second."

"I think what might make us 'cool' and them 'uncool' is the lack of egos in our band. We don't try to show off our amazing versatility every second."

- No instead we try and look cool by bashing bands that are musically superior too us and that have laid the groundwork for technical music to get any measure of popularity and success. While Mastodon is a good band, Dream Theater are legends. Mastodon, like most bands, will never make an Images and Words. They will not make a Metropolis Part 2, and they will not have a twenty year career either.

Error, Brent. You've incurred the wrath of almost every DT fan out there. DT themselves are probably laughing it off though. Mastodon still rule the school though

By the Way, I was kind of surprised by the mad hate for the 'Don out there. I hated them at first but their music still grows on you. I'm sure there's a bit of "They're popular, therefore I must hate them," feeling going on with some people though

But that's an untrue statement, one only made because this band is VERY basic and incapable of playing like that.

Yeah I mean Yes and King Crimson weren't popular at all...

PS. I also think that Dream Theater becoming popular was a horrible thing for the progressive metal genre. I hate them with a passion and think all of their music sucks and has no redeemable qualities. Liquid Tension Experiment was kinda cool though.

PPS. DREAM THEATER ARE NOT MUSICALLY SUPERIOR TO MASTODON. TECHNICAL ABILITY AND SPEED HAS ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW GOOD A BAND IS (E.G. DREAM THEATER). WHY DOES EVERYONE THINK THIS? WHAT THE HELL!?!?!??

PPPS. Remission > Leviathan

Dream Theater are awesome. I dont care for this technical/proggy/wank argument whether for or against, all I know is I like good songs and Dream Theater have plenty of them. The only bad moment in Dream Theater's discography was Falling Into Infinity, but even that had a couple solid songs (Hollow Years, You Not Me, New Millenium, Peruvian Skies and Take Away My Pain).

And who the fuck judges a band based on how they dress?? If I did that, then I would look at that picture of Mastadon posted and I'd say they smoke alot of pot and play stupid senseless music catering to that crowd and I would never listen to them because of it, as I despise faggy potheads.

But you know, I've never listened to Mastadon before, ever. So Im not trying to bash them because I like Dream Theater. I just think its childish to act the way that band member did. "Little chinese girl" is worse than the gay comment, John Myung is an amazing bass player who deserves repect/props and all that good shit.

EDIT: I vote for a ban if noodles ever gives his opinion of Dream Theater ever again, we know he hates them, we get it, enough already.
