His songs have been more Classic Rock sounding since Blood Mountain. He was the primary music composer for Crack The Skye, as well. I don't doubt that part of him loves some metal, but not "METAL!!!!!!" as in: all other music is puny compared to my METAL!!!!!!!!!! I see this headline being on their "Behind The Music" in 15 years.

I think he's being honest. If he hates heavy metal then leave Mastodon and go play for a fucking country band.
... but still he should just STFU instead of hating on metal.
Why should he leave cause he doesn't like metal? Why should he hide about not liking metal? It's a fucking democracy and people can say what they like. It's called freedom of speech.
And he doesn't have to love metal to play in Mastodon. He does a great job despite his dislike of the genre.
Agreed.
The part about saying on an interview that he hates interviews is still very dumb though...
No shit. It's my opinion that he should STFU if he hates metal music and is in a metal band. Freedom of speech? You don''t agree with me and that's cool. But I'm standing strong in my belief that is you don't like what you're doing don't do it. Find something else that you are passionate about and do that. I love metal music and anyone that says they hate it can STFU as far as I'm concerned and that's my freedom of speech screaming in that persons face.

Hard to know if he's just fucking around or if this is the truth. Lets just hope that Mastodon will continue writing awesome music!

So he is ''very passionate about playing guitar'' but is playing music he hates...?
Anyway, if Mastodon continue to release good albums I don't really care.

Some of y'all are taking this shit WAY too fucking seriously
...which, I wouldn't be surprised, might just be exactly what Hinds intended

i think we all know that there's the chance he's not serious, it just makes better discussion to take what he said seriously.

I approve entirely. Having a member of the band who doesn't really care for the genre the band is in keeps the band innovating and stops them from going stale, like every thrash metal band in existence for example.

To some (myself included) I wouldn't walk across the room to see a band (or member) that openly states he "hates" playing this type of music. Why? Because it would eat at me to no end knowing that I paid money for a PHONY who hates it! I don't care how good they are/were (Mastodon hasn't been worth a shit to me since their second record). I have talked to them on more than one occasion and the last time there was a huge feeling of arrogance. I can understand IF it a case of total burnout as I have had that happen to me with music and tattooing/piercing for 15+ yrs. I STILL don't like talking about it 5 years since retiring. I should have stopped a year earlier as I felt it wasn't fair to the customer. If they knew I just was going through motions just to get paid and not giving 100% mentally and/or artistically they would be left with a negative memory. Same type of situation with this discussion of Mastodon. Thats MY opinion though but I am sure there are plenty of others that would say FUCKIN A RIGHT!!! lol

How do you know other bands don't contain "phonies" as well? How do you know they're not playing music they hate?
Many musicians fake it anyhow even if they love the music. They might not want to write a new album but are required to do so. They often burn out playing live gigs but continue to do so because they have to.
You see it all the time and if you read interviews and biographies etc, you understand how often musicians do what they have to cause it's their job and not for the love of it.
And music like metal is entertainment. - plain and simple. Some component of it might be art, but most of it's entertainment (and mass produced at that). And those who become professional entertainers have to put food on the table and pay the bills like everyone else. As such "giving 100%...artistically" is somewhat irrelevant as long as the paying public enjoy the music and the show.
I don't know about other bands and I am not talking about other bands. The topic is Mastodon and the comments made by Brent Hinds. He said it and now its known period! You must have a reading disorder because I said in reference to MYSELF......... IF........ IF ...and again to be clear IF people knew you were not sincere they would have negative memories. At some point most all bands that have been around for 10+ yrs and have had intense schedules get the same burnout. Some you can tell it just isn't fun anymore,some keep going for the fans and then there are the do it for a paycheck phonies. You are wrong metal is NOT just entertainment plain and simple. I have NEVER been onstage to just "entertain" you or anybody else. If that is what you think I am not even going to begin that debate. To each their own that is the greatness of music.
