He did not say much to the crowd but he put much energy and emotion into his singing.
No le dijo nada al público pero cantaba con mucha emoción y energÃa.

Mastodon @ Kool Haus - May 15 2007
I really enjoyed shooting these guys. LOTS of other images at www.livebabylive.com.
Mastodon is an American heavy metal band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in 1999. The band is composed of bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, guitarist Bill Kelliher and drummer Brann Dailor. They have released four full-length albums to date, expanding their musical borders from early raw sludge riffs to later psychedelic multi-layered songs, yet maintaining progressive style with unusual time signatures and odd instrumentation.
The Sonisphere Festival is a touring music festival which takes place across Europe between June and August. The festival is owned and promoted by Kilimanjaro Live with financial backing from AEG. It has hosted heavy metal bands such as Iron Maiden, Metallica, Mötley Crüe, and Slayer.
The idea for Sonisphere was first conceived when Stuart Galbraith was working for Live Nation, the organisers of Download Festival. The plan was to hold a series of events that would "translate into other territories". The event did not begin to materialize, however, until Galbraith left Live Nation for the events company Kilimanjaro Live.
Galbraith gained the support of the metal band Metallica, who were claimed to have helped curate the festival for later years; however, rumours were denied of Metallica signing a multi-million pound deal promising the band to headlining the festival for three years. The first run of festivals ran throughout the summer of 2009 at six venues, returning in 2010 with 11 venues.
Galbraith's plans for future festivals consist of increasing the number of festivals, making the event global rather than local to Europe, expanding the UK event into a 3-day festival, and increasing the UK capacity from 40,000 to 60,000 attendees
these 2 drone are key components of extinction as well as Wheelie's survival (written into the biography of Extinction (Dinobots))
One serves as Wheelie's offensive hand : "Sabertooth" (tank with 2 teeth type weapons up front) and the other serves as Wheelie's defensive hand : "Mastodon" (tank with tusk like features on it's front.
Mastodon is an American Sludge Metal band from Atlanta, Georgia, formed in early 2000 and composed of bassist/vocalist Troy Sanders, guitarist/vocalist Brent Hinds, guitarist Bill Kelliher and drummer/vocalist Brann Dailor. Many of their songs feature heavy and unique instrumentation with a mix of clean vocals and harsh screams
I'm amazed how drummers who sing can still keep the time so well as their feet and hands are doing so much, especially in Brann's case who has pretty technical arrangements in Mastodon's songs.
Me sorprende cómo los bateristas que cantan aún pueden mantener el ritmo tan bien particularmente como los pies y las manos hacen tanto, especialmente en el caso de Brann, que tiene arreglos bastante técnicos en las canciones de Mastodon.
Mammut americanum (Kerr, 1792) - American mastodon tooth (molar) & partial jaw from the Pleistocene of Colorado, USA. (DMNH specimen, Denver Museum of Nature & Science, Denver, Colorado, USA)
Colorado's Snowmass fossil site was discovered in 2010 and has become one of the most significant and richly fossiliferous Pleistocene locality in the world. The first fossil was noticed during bulldozer excavation at Ziegler Reservoir in the town of Snowmass Village. Tens of thousands of individual fossils have been recovered. The most common species of vertebrate is the tiger salamander, Amystoma tigrinum. The most common species of mammal is the American mastodon, Mammut americanum. The fossil shown above is an example.
The Snowmass fossil site occurs in a long-lived Pleistocene-aged, high-altitude glacial lake deposit in Colorado's Elk Mountains. It is located near the intersection of Snowmass Creek Valley and Brush Creek Valley (= tributary). During the Pleistocene Ice Age, the Snowmass Creek Valley was filled with an alpine glacier. After the Bull Lake glaciation receded from the Elk Mountains about 155,000 to 130,000 years ago, a then-new moraine deposit blocked drainage from Brush Creek and formed a ~10 meter-deep glacial lake. The lake eventually filled up with fine-grained siliciclastic sediments, interbedded with some coarse-grained, poorly-sorted intervals near the lake margin. The latter units likely represent landslide deposits and subaqueous mass wasting events.
Fossil-hosting lacustrine sediments have been dated by various methods to between ~140,000 years ago and over 45,000 years ago.

Unsurprisingly, my best flash-free shot was when I didn't have to shoot quickly to avoid blocking the flow of movement.
From just the right angle, and if you squint a bit, this is supposed to look like a mastodon.
I guess we didn't find the right angle, or maybe we didn't squint the right amount.
The Mastodon Mine is in here, middle right.
