2. The band members met at a High On Fire show in Atlanta, Georgia.
3. Brent Hinds, guitarist of the band, absolutely loves Soundgarden, but was unimpressed by singer Chris Cornell. Hinds said that he could listen to Soundgarden all day long, but also said that Cornell was a "douche bag" for not talking to him or shaking his hand, when he was just trying to say hello.
So far during their music career, Mastodon has released 7 studio albums, with the band's last album, Emperor of Sand being nominated for the Grammy Award. The album was nominated for Best Rock Album.
