    Anybody complaining on how mastodon is not the same band any more should listen to what bill says in this interview. Mastodon writes what they want to write and want explore their options . They don't write for other people And That's the way it should be.

      Every album is something new which is why some people don't like certain albums. I honestly live every single album they have made.

      Personally even tho i worship their early stuff, i listen to the recent albums more than the early albums.

    Damn hearing Bill talk about not wanting to make the same record, always wanting to try something new, that's why they are one of my favorite bands! Absolutely love these dudes!

    Been following Sam Dunne since I saw Metal a headbangers journey upon it's initial release.Still watch everything he puts out.His questions during interviews are never cringy or questions the artists are asked a hundred times a day & you get the impression the bands actually want to answer them🤘🤘

    Good interview and interviewer. Bill summed up at the end of the video why i like Mastodon so much. They keep me interested, and therefore entertained. Yes their style changes. It's constantly in motion. It's never stagnant, but you can always hear that unique Mastodon sound. I love it.

    love nothing more than hearing metal musicians being influenced by non- traditional metal influences (Edge, King Crimson, etc.) "I listened to Black Sabbath....."

    • @Psyfonify

      one of the first albums i heard, when i was 9 years old, was Mahavishnu Orchestra, Birds of Fire. my dad taught me to count the 9/8 time signature in its title track at that moment. i fucking love metal and especially weird metal i hope my perfectionist attitude will allow me to release something killer one day without over-analyzing it until i get sick of it

      Loved it when I heard Tool used a producer known for his work producing world music. I thought “now that takes some real balls…”, not to mention a forward-thinking vision for your music and band. I feel like, even though I’ve never heard them mentioned by any of the guys from Mastodon, that Tool helped pave the way for a more forward thinking sect of metal musicians back in the 90s that exists and has expanded to this day. I can’t tell you how many guys who are into metal over the years, when I tell them I listen to something outside the realm of metal, they have a difficult time processing why I would even consider listening to another type of music. I personally can’t imagine having such a limited scope for what music I appreciate. Plus, as I’ve gotten older, have realized that listening to metal while driving in big city traffic is not always a great idea if you want to keep the road rage factor under control. 😂😂😂 Imagine that!

    @6:15 in, I think it's something every so-called mastodon fan needs to hear. I'm talking about the people who have been shitting on every album since crack the skye saying that they are not metal anymore. That's the one thing that all these guys have in common is the fact that they don't want to be limited to one genre of music.

    • @Odie50000

    Come on Sam, so many heavy metal legends are scifi-fantasy nerds! Iron Maiden made a song based on novel Dune. Metallica and some others made some songs about Cthulhu. Not to mention countless metal band names taken from Lord of The Rings.

    That gig Mastodon and BTBAM did in late 2000.. was like If Opeth had toured with Dream Theater in 1990. A few years ago Leprous and Haken toured the US and I felt "This is Prog Metal history being written".
