jesus.........I think Maynard James Keenan is the only member of a metal band that can sing worth a **** though.
That is definitely an awesome shot of the pit.
On a side note, maybe I need to give mastadon another chance but I've seen them live twice and never been impressed. They seem like your very average metal band and nothing special at all. They're coming to town on the 14th - I may have to go give them another shot.
Seriously? I mean I like Tool and all, but there is a plethora of great stuff out there if you look for it...check out Diablo Swing Orchestra, a female opera-trained singer with avant-garde instrumentals and the occasional scream/snarl.I think Maynard James Keenan is the only member of a metal band that can sing worth a **** though.
Calling any band Maynard has been in a "metal" band is as silly as calling any of them industrial bands (which I have also heard several times).The pics are really nice.

thanks man, i truly appreciate hearing that. it's really hard to differentiate oneself at times.VERY nice shots as always...your concert shots have a very "dynamic" feel I don't get from a lot of other photogs. Keep up the good work!
not as a matter of course...sometimes, but not too often. there's a lot of shooters, and as you probably know, magazines are going tits up left and right, websites are notoriously chintzy, and the music industry as a whole is foundering. hopefully i'll have some residual value in the shots i've taken, but really i don't do this for $.are you getting paid to do this yet? if not, you should be.
this was @ house of blues; i've actually never been to the Palladium yet.I could never get into Mastodon. I've seen them 2 or 3 times over the past 4 years and own a couple albums, but their music just seems too bland to me. Nothing really sticks out that makes me think "oh, these guys are interesting."
Very cool pics though. A show at the Palladium is bound to be a good time.
i'm surprised no one else thought this thread was going to filled with 'metal' pictures. like the double on road bike or the double on the pit bike or the _______ .Is that metal?
Agreed. I think Crack the Skye edges out Blood Mountain, though I really really like "Sleeping Giant"of the Mastodon stuff, i like _Leviathan_ the best..."blood and thunder," "iron tusk," "i am ahab" are all great tunes. the new one's a bit of a grower on me, esp "The Czar."
Sorta, but I want to say the Palladium is bigger, and I'm pretty sure the balconies are curved, not straight.Oh wow, looks a lot like the Palladium at first glance.
