Fvck! R.I.P. bro

I went to see Mastodon once but was kicked out the venue for being to rowdy. Then I ended up fighting the bouncer LOL

Rip. Mastodon is good stuff

 

[Spounman]

That's brutal

 

[Bobby Boulders]

I just read about this, and that's a real shame. Mastadon made great music, and this effectively ends their run. RIP to the man, and to the band.



Edit: the silver lining is that he'd apparently already left the band, so they can continue. Leviathan was a great album, though.

Yep, they said he left, he recently said in a comment section that he was kicked out. Really sad this happened before they could get back on the same page.

 

[I Am Legion]

Sad, looks like he was going through some shit.

 

[Tone C]

I think you meant to put. ..


He's extinct .


RIP.

Yeah that sucks. Reminds me of Dime passing before Phil could patch things up with Vinnie and him.

Exactly.

Motorcycles, distracted or bad drivers are a rough mix. Atlanta is rough too.

Booooooo!!!!!!!!

Sad to hear. Ran into the dude at some Neurosis and Today Is The Day shows back before Mastodon was a thing. Was never big on them but Blood and Thunder was solid and he did some tracks with Matt Pike that were solid too. Also remember him getting KOd by Olive Oil from SOAD. Seems he was dealing with addiction for a long time.

 

[Takes Two To Tango]

I would never ride a motorcycle. It's just too risky.

RIP nonetheless.

 

[Sobek]

I only have a couple of their albums and had been loosely following in the media recently about his leaving and having a bit of a war of words in the media with the band.

So this was a bit of a shock today.
RIP.
Guess I'll be listening to them heavily for the near future.

This hits close to home I love mastodon.

I sold my mine after my friend was hit by a car almost lost his leg. I knew too many people that got injured. The donor cycle.
