Let me rephrase that; we already talked about this extensively at xiola. This is some Twilight Zone shit if you guys don't remember. We went on and on about Brent Hinds' checkered past and all of that. The only reason I know who Brent Hinds is, is because we discussed this at xiola.

Yeah, the band was talked about, but that was before they had a name or any music written.

I'm not too big into Mastodon. I like Thomas Pridgen and really like the only two Dillinger Escape Plan CD's I own. I can't wait to check this out.

Not for the type of fan that would care about this band. Not at all.

gotcha, I guess that depends on what you consider a supergroup,.........I've no idea who these other guys are, but that's probably becasue I'm old and unhip
I hear ya. But you've never heard of Mastodon, The Mars Volta, or Dillinger Escape Plan?
May be wrong but old and unhip track record with young and hip is in the former's favor IMHO.... :cool:

Not that it's of any real importance, but we knew the name as well. I think they may have added the "orchestra" part since then, but we knew the Giraffe Tongue part. Here's an article from June where the name is used:

Shitting on Hinds is like Metallica fans calling Perry a fag back in '90. It's just ignorant.

All of these players are monsters. Brent is the best thing to happen to heavy guitar in easily a decade. And Mastodon has managed to not only become quite popular, but evolve.

The other dudes are MONSTER PLAYERS. The band name is dumb, but I guarantee whatever these dudes do will be a thousand times more interesting than TGEA.

From a technical standpoint all of them can play their instruments and do so in a "monster" fashion. The Hunter is a different album from them still heavy but a lot of cool stuff going on with them. The problem is people put them into that genre when really they're more like well RdlH but tuned to C#. Different musical styles but the same type of goal. But I will say a good number of Mastadon fans are "metal" fans and typically turn a lot of people off of them, but they're pretty experimental just heavy. Hinds solo stuff that he put out was different but pretty good.

Then again we see differently on M83 and stuff like that so it might not be your thing either way.

the link is from june, it may not be the exact same article but it's the same quote we read on xiola
Even though the project is officially nameless, Hinds wants to call it Giraffe Tongue "because they look sick."

Yeah we talked about it and I talked about last year's mistake of trying to drink with those guys from Mastadon BUT they're pussies since the boys in The Descendents turned it up to 15 and fucking drowned them out completely even on their stage across the park.
