i fucked up and didnt get tix. does anyone have any supersecret hookups or some way i can make it to this show? it will be retarded good.

unfortunately supersecret hookups arent transferable. Really wanted to go to this show though, just too much stuff going on at home to be able to justify driving up. Anyone who goes, let me know BTBAM's setlist. As long as they don't play aspirations or shevanel I won't regret not going

This show was announced months ago. How did you not know it would sell out?

I'm sorry you can't go, and I wish I could help. It should be an amazing show that everyone should have the privilege of witnessing.

I heard that Mastodon is playing Crack the Skye from beginning to end.

that would be pretty sweet.

This thread inspired me to go back to an old thread you may or may not remember Ronny. One where someone was saying Mastodon and BTBAM sucked but when asked to provide metal bands he did like the guy said we needed to check out Mudvayne and Nonopoint for bands who scream but actually have talent

edit for the lulz:

Just so everyone knows--BTBAM and Mastodon are also both doing in-store appearances at Schoolkids before the show. BTBAM @ 2:30 PM and Mastodon @ 4 PM.

I posted this in the other thread

Mastodon is on the front page of the N&O weekend section today for their show tomorrow. AIC is also in there.

I saw them at Cats Cradle last year and they did this. They also had a video to go along with it. Then throughout the rest of the songs they had an awesome animated, 3D looking album cover displayed for the respective album.

yeah saw 'em play that shit last year. It will only be acceptable if they play older shit as well, and i don't mean blood mountain.

I hope I can find my ticket. My room is a fucking mess right now

4/16/2010 2:36:11 PM

i've seen people in line who didn't have tickets, but they looked online and had like a list of names from ticketmasta. You probably have to have the card. Or you can just look in your email and reprint it.

I just found it. I bought it from Schoolkid's, so I'd be shit out of luck if I lost it.

I really want to go to the schoolkids thing. Not sure if the guys going with me can go that early.

4/16/2010 2:58:24 PM

If I'm missing the show, I will be at Schoolkids.

Though I bet you'll have to be there for BTBAM if you want to fit in for Mastodon.

4/16/2010 3:42:31 PM

goddammit, can't make it tonight, knew ever since I found out about it that I couldn't but doesn't make it suck any less

4/17/2010 3:12:03 PM

I might have to make a road trip when BTBAM gets near IL this summer. Unfortunately, they aren't playing in Chicago for the tour.

4/17/2010 10:30:07 PM

^ On a related note. I talked to some guys at the concert tonight who drive up from South Florida for the show. Dedication.

4/17/2010 11:59:17 PM

After playing Crack the Skye in its entirety, this was the rest of Mastodon's set list.



I was stoked to see so much from Remission and Leviathan. Crusher Destroyer AND March of the Ants? Fuck yes.

Great show except I couldn't hear Brent's guitar half the time. Especially during the solos. Anyone else notice this or am I going deaf. It was most noticeable to me during the solo in Capillarian Crest.

I also wanted more from BTBAM
They played
Fossil Genera
Prequel to the Sequel
Desert of Song
Backwards Marathon
Disease, Injury, Madness

Valiant Thor was pretty badass. That was the first time I had heard them. Their frontman was hilarious. He is the metal version of Zach galifianakis. What was the second song they played? I loved that one.
