Raff told me last night that she has it....I'll take a listen to it tonight.

hahahha.. the same as me I do believe. I read your review of Nearfest HT ..... sounded like a BLAST! If I didn't have...ahh.. other pressing priorities hahhah.. I would have loved to have been there and met you and seen all those great groups. Next year... the three of us definitely will go.

actually Jody.. the interesting thing... was viewing that show through the prism of PA's. I can see why some people have such a bee up their ass about Maiden... yet as a pragmatist .... I don't understand it. I think I understand why Maiden was rejected... it simply doesn't fit the vision of prog-metal if groups like Mastadon are symbolic of it. Yet for the prog fan who has a passing interest in it.. yet a complete passion for prog. I meerly see them as two halves of the same. The complexity is there...the emphasis on both composition and virtuosity is there...ie. the prog is there. The metal is there... maybe being older I can relate to the 'metal' of Maiden better since that is the 'goofy' style of metal I use to listen to (alluded to in my first post). Is simply a matter of not being.... cool ...enough? For some reason I do have some innate curiousity about PM that are obscured by the smartass comments and jokes.

we are looking for one... the one we've heard about is Blood Mountain. We did our homework, with samples and the such (to be honest.. to see if we needed to show up late just for the final two acts hahaha .. and we liked what we heard.. so we weren't surprised we liked them). I haven't had any luck here in Rome finding one .... so we may have to wait till we come to the states in July.

Haha- agree with you on Machine Head- they are horrible, and even more horrible live. I do remember their singer saying some very funny/intellegent things on stage in between songs, if that counts for anything

hahhaha... oh hell yeah they were... open-minded or not... they SUCKED.... the only time Raff and I got knocked out of our collective stupors during their set was some funny as hell ramblings between songs... wouldn't exactly call it intelligent... but definitely funny the usual juvinile getting get drunk, stoned, and laid machoismo bullsh*t... the Italians kids weren't buying it... from what Raff and I saw... they WERE already drunk ( must have walked over 50 beer bottles trying to find our seats before the show, they were definitely stoned, you could see it.. and smell it... and judging by some of what we saw.. they were getting it on in dark corners and out of the way areas. Oh to be young again....

Sounds like a fun experience! it's impressing seeing people being so open-minded about genres that are quite far from what they usually listen to!
And if you're going to buy an album by Mastodon, I would recommend Blood Mountain, as I think the earlier albums are a bit harsher and harder!

thanks... it was actually. We went a lookin' for that album today.. didn't see it. I will still keep my eyes open... might have better luck back in the states.
