Mastodon


First song with Brent's (temporary?) replacement; Ben Eller a.k.a. your biological step-dad Uncle Ben, YouTube guitarist.

Really pleased for Ben, I've been following him for a while. Most YouTube guitarists are insufferable pricks but Ben seems very genuine, funny, informative and is an awesome player and a big Mastodon fan. I wonder if he might be too busy with his YouTube stuff to join full-time, but he did a great job here.
 

Ben discusses the Mastodon gig. He goes into a bit of detail over the guitar gear he used, your mileage may vary on how interesting you find that but I thought it was a fun and interesting watch. The feedback to him has also been incredibly positive and supportive, which is great to see and hear.

He also wasn't asked to learn seventeen Mastodon songs in two days... it was over twenty songs in two days, and he didn't know many of them beforehand. That's impressive.
