I'd been pretty psyched up to see mastodon for a while, but to be honest, I really didn't get into this show at all... I spent a lot of time outside.

cult of luna: well I got in there and it was PITCH BLACK. no lights on except some low low low lights behind the drummer. Needless to say, you couldn't see anything on the stage with out a flash.. but if you used a flash, you would blind them so I went up stairs and snapped a few shots before getting told no flash except for the first 3 songs of mastodon. I complied, but couldn't take any more pictures cause of that. anyhow, I've listen to the CD enough and it's pretty catch. Live, it comes out a bit thin. there is a lot more empty space with only a guitar and becomes insanely evident with their live set. a bunch of times, you would think they were done, but then come back in from some echoy guitar.

death by stereo: I've never liked this band. Image-wise, it seems a bit contribed and aimed at the hot topic crowd with the "black army" thing. I've seen them now 3 times and they've played a lot better the other times. more energy and more people getting involved. Also, the mix for them was HORRIBLE! the mic kept cutting out and guitars were dropping out and coming back.

mastodon: I was waiting for their set... I was hoping that they would put me in a better mood to shoot. they sort of did, but then my pictures were all coming out horribly. anyhow, they played almost all new songs which were awesome and all. they they played march of the fire ants. I asked merrick which song it was and then I was like "duh" for not knowing. The sound for them was awesome. you could hear EVERYTHING no matter where you went in the club. They ended with an old song.. I think... it sounded like something off the first disc, but I was out front and didn't recognize it.
on a side note: I talked to the drummer for a bit while waiting. I said something about seeing his picture in the "live til you die" CD by today is the day. I felt like a moron cause then he told me he played almost all the tracks on there. I didnt know he was in TITD. but if you've seen the collage inside that CD, you know what I'm talking about and why I would be confused.
