So my band, Crimson Templar imploded in November and I'm currently taking a break to get my life put together before doing a relaunch, but I was wondering how many of this subreddit were active musicians and what do you play?
And feel free to self promote your music if you have any!
The beautiful aquarium show they did during the pandemic. They seem to be referencing it a fair amount on socials. Will we see a physical release? I'd love a blu-ray/vinyl drop of it. Such a special moment and would be one of many grand final gestures to Brent..
Anyone have insights/intel?
I've only seen a few photos of Brent playing this one but I can't read the logo on the headstock in any of them. Only thing I can tell is that it isn't a Gibson or Epiphone.
If you enjoy this, find me on instagram and TikTok @banjo.metal.guy 🤘
Really sorry guys if I've insulted any of you amazing fans of this amazing band. I was out of control. Brent is at peace now. That's a fact.
And yes you can downvote me all you want and whatever it's all warranted. I'm a piece of shit I know. And again I'm deeply sorry. Wish you all a good day/night.
Rest in peace Brent.
Excited to see them at SNW. It'll be different, but still will be a good time. Went through my photos and these are the ones from Aftershock. They played all of Leviathan at one of the side stages and it was just magic. Never been so close.
Forgot I had this clip on my phone. Wish I would have taken more. Anyway, this is from the tour with Ghost in Grand Rapids MI.
I loved you so much man. I wish I could have gotten to meet you.
But I didn't because I was broke. And still am. Rest in peace you absolute fucking legend.
Everyone loves you in heaven!
I wanted to make a playlist for something I’m doing and I wanted to know if Brent ever mentioned any favorite songs of his. I’m not talking “what Mastodon/FWAF/WEM/GTO/etc songs he was proudest of writing,” more “what songs meant the most to him as a music lover and human being.” I know there’s bands and musicians who he’s mentioned multiple times (Melvins, Thin Lizzy, ZZ Top, AC/DC, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Frank Zappa) or just once (Lightning Bolt, Mogwai) or even just worn shirts for (Os Mutantes and George Strait are the first to come to mind, but I also know he had a Motörhead tattoo), but if anyone can think of interviews where he mentioned music that really deeply mattered to him, I’d appreciate it. (Also please feel free to add more artists!)
The intro at least, I always think for half a second, that I’m listening to Love Falls (by: HELLYEAH) before realising I’m listening to Mastodon only lol.
Just wanted to share—I’ve recently gotten into Mastodon (after aimlessly listening to music to obsess over) and my favourite album by far is definitely Hushed and Grim
Also Once More ‘Round the Sun too, both are so good!
My favourite song from the latter is Tread Lighlty. It feels like a wake up call to me, I’m going through a dark tome right now, and it feels motivating with the message of: *‘Everything is going to be fine.’*
I don’t know, maybe that’s just me :,)
What are everyone’s favourite song/album/lyrics?
(I’m a sucker for lyrics, I write a lot of poetry)
This band means too much to me. I can't lose anyone else. Brent was already too much.
Yet you all keep calling me crazy for talking about Hinds' death.
I always thought Troy was the tallest but I guess Brann is? Some pictures Brent looked the shortest but I think Troy might actually have been the shortest? Which is odd because sometimes Troy looks the tallest. Also how tall was Brent (RIP) and how tall is Bill?
