MASTODON live in The K! Pit (tiny dive bar show)

Atlantan rifflords Mastodon arrived at Kerrang!’s favourite dive bar with just one thing on their minds: crush, kill, destroy. A packed out, 50-capacity Blondies bar in London waited with baited breath for The ‘Don to deliver the goods, and ooooh boy, did they!
Joined by friend and Neurosis frontman Scott Kelly on lead vocals, the progressive-metal four-piece doled out 30-minutes of heavyweight riffs and sonic punches that left our innards quivering. You can watch it in all its glory now. And you better believe there’s much more to come from The K! Pit.

Everything he does is flawless, looks effortless, doesn't overplay during solos, and their rhythm playing is as good as Malcolm Young, Keith Richards, or James Hetfield.

Just an all round life enriching experience to see these absolute masters of their craft at work! Hope I´ll get to see them again soon, cannot wait for the new album.

[@noblesavage7976]

That's cool. Now all you need is a full Neurosis set. Not open air, some tight venue, at first 3 rows, trying to hold your face on your head. Maybe the best show i have ever been to.

[@supermcmattman7549]

Crack the Skye is one of my favorite Mastodon songs (probably behind only Roots Remain and Hearts Alive). I wish they'd play it more! Good setlist!

[@mysteryfang]

Hearts Alive makes me moist

[@karlojankovic4679]

It’s my fave, but in a tough competition. Great choices for your top 3 though

[@thecoderofyoutube]

Saw them at Bristol on the recent tour where they did all these songs plus Spectrelight. It was fucking amazing.

[@tristan8823]

that taste... you my man are speaking my language

[@markrodriguez7566]

Well now u can see it this summer ;)

[@Veronee64]

I had this playing in the background and forgot multiple times that this was actually live. They sound fucking fantastic and better than their records - a rarity in modern rock

[@ezzong]

If Neil Fallon showed up on the last song, this would be the best Mastodon recorded live performance ever

[@mistamuthafuka]

That would have been amazing.

[@asshat3842]

Those flat pickin banjo rolls he was playing at 3;20 are bad ass with all that gain

[@jimjambananaslam3596]

[@ezzong]

Mastodon's performances in small sweaty and gritty club setting will always be miles better than their big arena ones, and i don't see any problem with that.

[@svfutbol20]

r mardiantor I saw Mastodon for my first time with Opeth and Ghost in a shitty little club under an overpass in Grand Rapids Michigan. Best concert I’ll probably ever go to. This was before Ghost got big, they were still wearing the hoods.

[@ezzong]

@@svfutbol20 wow, awesome to hear that! I really wish they would come to my country someday tho, but KZbin clips will suffice for now.

[@grandwazoo1696]

I have never seen Mastodon live but when I see them live on KZbin I feel that during their larger venue performances, they lose a lot of clarity in the songs. I find them hard to hear, if that makes sense?

[@sepultubob]

The final part of aqua dementia. Still one of my favourite parts after all these years ! And with Kelly it's even louder ! Brent guitar sound is one of the best I've heard live, his sound is aging well !

[@thecoderofyoutube]

It's not just me then! It's an incredible piece of music.

[@jacob198920]

That’s one of my favourite Mastodon sections as well

[@dr.amygdala6524]

I think Brent was trying extra hard because of how emotional the songs were, especially crack the skye

[@greekneek]

this is the single best live mastodon performance EVER

[@BlixTheGoblin]

anyone who doesnt know Neurosis, you're doing yourself a disservice...

@@MikoEZK Its the band that the frontman for this Mastodon show is in, his name is Scott Kelly. They are an extraordinary, pioneering band that make music for the mind, check em out.

I will be fortunate enough to see Mastodon for the first time this Sunday. I cannot express the feeling! Damn!

I can’t get enough of this show. Only been able to see mastodon once live in Vegas and am newer to neurosis. But this has got to be one of the purest fits of collaboration. It just works

[@puppetmaster8551]

Mastodon x Scott Kelly is magical. I’m hoping some day they do a full album together because their collabs are special.

[@magamertag]

This watch got slightly weirder considering the Scott Kelly stuff but anyway🤷🏽‍♂️

[@dracul_gras]

man scott kelly is something else truly. having cameos on each album makes each album special, so as much as i'd like a full album i feel like it'd take away from the 'damn' factor when i listen to the album

[@td1630]

I really love Masteurosis. Or Neurostodon. Or whatever. Point being, I wish they'd do an entire album with him as their lead vocalist.

[@jazzyj4126]
