JONAH HEX news so mind-meltingly awesome that only Satan's Mighty Balls are cooler!
Hey folks, Harry here with awesomeness the likes of which only Medusa's slithering snakey bush might conceal badassery to match. It seems this is the time of year where little birdies will come a calling with mind-numbing news of unmatched wowitude. Today - and many other days as well - the metal gods known as MASTODON have been not so quietly scoring the film JONAH HEX. When I asked what it was sounding like, the only response was, "Needless to say, pretty heavy!" Man - Daft Punk doing TRON 2. Mastodon doing JONAH HEX - geek just got real cool - The metal sounds of an occult western. SO COOL. I really do have an incredibly good feeling about this. Of course, I also bought tickets for METALOCALYPSE with Dethklok and Mastodon this November here in Austin, so I'm chomping at the bit for this tiny rocking bit of awe! How about you?

with Crack the Skye, Mastodon have crafted this generations 2112. big words i know, but give it a listen and you'll be forced to agree. amazing band with amazing musicians. cant wait to hear what thier sound track will sound like.
-
Harry, I guess I have to hand over my geek card, because I don't have any idea what the fuck any of this shit is. Is this the one with the girl from Death Proof?
-
But really I just wanted to say, how come no news here about Boondock Saints II? IGN's got a trailer!
-
I was almost first.
-
Now I look like a complete ass!
-
To make my face melt.
-
Damnit, I thought you had something mind blowing to tell me!! "Pretty Heavy" is all those nit wits could respond with...that's like Julia Childs saying the food may be hot!! Well, as they say..from the mouths of Genius!
-
The last anachronistic Western I enjoyed was BRISCO COUNTY. I'm not holding out a lot of hope for this film.
-
Leviathan was their last good album, so we'll see...
-
funny how i didnt feel the need to post FIRST...and just posted somthing relevent to the discussion...;)
-
This isn't news at all...this is bullshit. Bull...shit.
-
seriouslly?....Leviathan was an excellent album but Blood Moutain was better and Crack the Skye better still...well..in my opinion...and your entitled to yours and...well never mind.
-
Someone got a copy of the script due to their father training the horses for the film. http://www.1up.com/boards/posts/list/43113.page "But here's one of the script directions word for word(mind you that this is written by professional Hollywood writers.): Hex just busted an ass-load of bullets into the greasy gun-slinger when all ofthe sudden Turnbull busts in with a MOTHER FUCKING FLAMETHROWER!!! and another, A shadowy figure appears behind the group of cowboys, pulling out a sweet looking triple barreled pistol (It's John Malkovich!) "
-
I'm a pretty old-school geek and I like my orchestral stuff...but that said, I know there's place for electronic scores and even rock scores. But still...not knowing much about this Jimmy Hayward or the real tone of the film I'm not sold this will be as awesome as Harry thinks. It could start to sound like some horrible straight-to-DVD action flick.
-
That music is true, but I still can't get into those albums the way I get into Leviathan.
-
Seriously. Your reviews are tough to get through... and you oversell things WAY too much. Like this dumb piece of "cool news". Ugh.
-
edit button please...
-
there is some relevance for you. Just like Bunny said in Plattoon..."Redneck noise man!!" Crack the sky is a waste upon my ears.
-
oops.
-
love the new cd
-
...ergo don't care.
-
i get what your saying. Leviathan had real ties to Moby Dick wich makes it more acessable...But as a Musician myself im blown away by the technical ability they show in Crack the Sky. and Clervel...i made the comparasin knowing what i was saying...2112 redefined prog-rock...im saying the Mastodon did the same thing with this album. if you disgree then please explain why you think so. im sure i might be wrong...:)
-
i just realized how bad my spelling is....
-
when I heard that Billy Corgan was doing the music to Ron Howards Ransom...look how that turned out.
-
since the beginning of the millennium?
-
Point Taken. Im just bitter.
-
cool cool. i really dont mind being proven wrong. dialouge with shit learned on both sides is alot more productive in my opinion.
-
He was always a 3rd string character at best. Was there really that much of a following for this comic book?
-
Finally, a good, heavy score.
-
It almost appears Film is considered an art still.
-
Being from Atlanta and knowing them... I find this to be something to be happy about. If I'm not mistaken, Bradford Cox of Deerhunter (another ATL band) helped score "Where The Wild Things Are" with Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs... who was and may still be romantically involved with director Spike Jonze.

AICN reacts to everything like a 12 year old school girl
by Scapulawings
Oh, my gawd, this is like the greatest news evar! I'm so tired of every story having a million exclamation points at the end of it. Seriously, they think everything is either the worst news in the world or the greatest news ever. It's a joke.
-
Mastadon's new album is beyond amazing. If you disagree simply fuck yrself.
-
Rush is pretentious prog rock about trees, and I haven't been able to listen to their immature crap since I was a teenager. Having the skill to play difficult music doesn't mean the music you make is good. Mastodon makes great music.
-
Why visit the site? You know the formula... don't like it, don't come back. It's that easy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
All I heard was "blah blah blah" the last few albums sucked and our sales can't come close to the awesome that is rush" BTW I'm not even a canadian. Meh doesn't matter I'm one of those "fags" that likes dream theater and nightwish.
-
The only reason I've heard of Mastodon is that their drummer is, apparently, a huge '70s-era Phil Collins fan. (OTOH, which drummer isn't?)
-
Is the producer of this film, you might recall.
-
i read that headline and hoped we were actually having some cool news again but then i reeled my excitement in and remembered the source and braced for something stupid like "Its gonna be in 3D!!!!" or "Gilbert Gottfried has a cameo!!!!" Sure enough, this news wasnt really that exciting. Mastadon sounds like Cookie Monster music. Okay, im going to go back to making a loop of every movie site on the internet seeing if anyone has anything exciting to report. God i love getting paid taxpayer money to keep America safe at night.

Um, I'd rather have a film composer compose the film score. All these wannabe fucking rock-star-turned-film-composers are lame. The reason why these guys need so much time to do the scores is because they have no fucking clue what they're doing. Stick to making records and let the people who score films do their job.
-
Holy shit that does sound rad.
-
How the hell could I have seen that trailer on another site before I saw it on this one? AND NOT EVEN A POST? Or even a story on the production of it? Did you guys piss someone off or was it hush hush?

This is just as awesome as Buckethead scoring Ghost On Mars!
by Series7
Not a big fan of Mastodon. Just kind of boring same-o same-o metal stuff.
-
has been shelved for like four years just waiting to get released
-
hyperbole much Harry? Weak.
-
Done with their score? Like 28 songs deep. I've seen there other movies, kind of boring. Tron will probably be the same.
-
They got the greenlight about a 4 months ago to make Crack the Skye into a film. They're a talented band who happens to write some great songs. I'd still rather see the rumors of a Tool movie come to life though.
-
Daft Punk is cool and all. Fuck i raced out to by the single for the funk when it came out. But Wendy is tron, and I for one do not understand why she can no team up with DP. I do not get it period!!!! Honor her and let her do a track with them. Just one track... One, thats all I'm asking. Just one, tiny little track for Tron 2.

by Gungan Slayer
oh god, MASTODON scoring Jonah Hex? ughhh....and I was so looking forward to this...everything seemed like it was going in the right direction....now...don't know...FUCK SHIT...I clicked on this link thinking it was something awesome. shit.

Just sayin' http://bit.ly/3mMB62

This is a WESTERN. An off beat Western with Supernatural Elements, maybe. But with all the great Americana artists out there they go with Mastodon?<br /><br />I would imagine some Rick Rubin era Johnny Cash or Steve Earle's "Devil's Right Hand" would be more appropriate for Jonah Hex. Nick Cave? Tom Waits? Alejandro Escovedo? Hell, Dylan or Springsteen or Neil Young could come up with more appropriate songs for a Jonah Hex movie. Am I the only one who finds this bizarre?
-
no news or webmasters acting like okay news is exploding ecstasy on a rocket ship
-
Lethargy....find it. If you aren't pumped about this you are gay and faggot. Get back into the locker you were shoved in years ago. The Metalocalypse/Mastadon show is going to kill your baby and rape your mother. *some dork* "I dont get that reference." If you don't find this awesome you have no dick. WORKHORSE is one of the best metal songs in the last 10 years. Now they just need to get Lamb of God to kill all the assholes who are like, "I know nothing about this but it sounds dumb so I'll call it out." Go back to the Bad Boys II TB where you belong.
-
make sure you get there early enough to see High on Fire too. One of the best real, REAL metal bands making music today. Vocalist/guitarist Matt Pike will rip your fucking face off and hand it to you. Listen to the album Blessed Black Wings and tell me I'm wrong.
-
Is a great band but i prefer their older albums over the new especially Remission.
-
fuckin' A. Too bad Willem Dafoe's character won't return though.
-
this is turning into a Neill Cumpston sound alike contest. too bad there is only one Neill and i miss him dearly.
-
Thank you so much for this news Harry. I started a new job tonight and was hazed like a motherfucker and made to scrub toilets and somehow upon hearing this news everything seems a little sunnier. Mastodon!
-
I thought you had a real scoop for us Harry.
-
God, I'm old... TRON2's more exciting ot me than HEX, but then I don't have a clue who is, except what I randomly saw on a BATMAN BRAVE & BOLD cartoon. Boy did that cartoon suck! Batman's future looks like FUTURAMA and MARVEL's GALACTUS had a baby. Meh.
-
Are what? *cough,cough*
-
I was expecting some bit of actual movie scoop, not news some frigging metal band were involved.
-
Should've gone with one of the Euro-Doom bands like Dimmu Borgir or the awesome Ahab!<p>Still, any mainstream coverage for REAL Metal is ok by me. I'm sick of all this Nu-metal and Emo wank...
-
Mastodon are not my cup of Tea, they are low on the Metal Totem pole. I understand why people like them, but it's not my thing. I like some Prog bands, but they just don't do it for me. I prefer Into Eternity and Zero Hour, that's just me when it comes to the Prog thing. SOOOO, why are they going to BAND score way instead of just a regular score with an orchestra? I prefer the full orchestra rather than "heavy" music. I love Metal, but I feel for the most part it cheapens a movies credibility when they go with bands. But that's just me. I hope the movies good, but I'm not that invested in it so whatever....
-
Would you?
-
he's aching for some red teabagging goodness in hell.

would have loved to have seen them use the other great relapse band 'Unsane' myself. This should be the Jonah Hex opening credits theme right here, maaan http://tinyurl.com/l9gpsz

...I've always wanted to make a western with a heavy metal soundtrack. I've no idea why, and was always fully aware of the shortcomings of such a project, however looks like we'll see how the idea turns out!
-
This ain't it.
-
yeah it seems quite fitting of though think a hardcore rock blues is more fitting myself. Hoping that's the style they will go for rather than straight out metal
-
You are given a chance to say how you feel about the stuff here and you waste it with that!? very poor, man.
-
This could be incredibly amazing or it could end up bad. Real bad. Ghost Rider bad. First was the teaser poster which to be honest looked like a cover for a DTV porno with Holyweirds favourite pornotrash Megan fox looking provocativley at Hex's "big gun". Now we have a seldom heard metal band doing the sound track. Watching Hex do his thing to a metal soundtrack doesnt feel right. But then again thats what they said about Sergio Leone's movie soundtracks when his movies came out. Dont know. Undecided.
-
what happened to the glory days of movie fans breaking their backs to sneak in and get top secret set news and little whispers of info? has the studio system finally got their security so good that nothing gets out? seems like theres nothing exclusive anymore.
-
than Daft Punk, if not Carlos.
-
Great band and they have the potential to write a really great, creepy western prog-metal score.
-
yeah pretty much. What gets out is all controlled now to a point.
-
The things you have to sign these days are followed through to the letter. Sending in pics from a set etc. is so not worth losing a good job over.
-
Never heard of them. Should have got Muse instead.

Never heard of them. Should have got Muse instead.

For a second there, I was thinking, based on the title of this article, that the "mind-numbingly awesome thing" was gonna be that somebody actually went in and redid that Godawful Jonah Hex makeup. Seriously, I think Kevin Spacey sported more Jonah Hex-like makeup in PAY IT FORWARD. That thing on Josh Brolin's face is like an embarrassment mixed with a dog turd. Beethoven could rise from the grave and score the goddamn thing with John Bonham and Jimi Hendrix in the orchestra and it wouldn't be enough to fix that shit.
-
what pictures are you going by because the stuff I've seen is on set pics and looks pretty good as it is without all the post stuff that will be doen on the movie. SO yeah what picture are you referring to?
-
I come to this site because AICN does actually have news that's new to me and worthwhile to hear about but the way they write up these stories is absolutely juvenile and most of the time pretty worthless. It's like a piece of candy wrapped in shit. The biggest joke is when they attempt to "review" something where they just explain absolutely everything that happens in a movie and call it a review. It's like reading a book report by a 7 year old. This happens and then this happens and then this happens.... So yeah, I'll keep coming back here as long as they have actual news but don't tell me to get the fuck out just because they can't write for shit.

the genre is like one big parody of itself. I found this old ass Slayer CD in a siblings room. Every track starts off the same. I couldn't stop laughing. It was truly one for the fire. Now that's heavy.

A band I've never heard of because I stop believing in new good music sometime around 1994. Gave em a listen over at youtube. /love that someone hear mentions that they have older albums. What like a year or 2 back. Fuck them. They sound like everything else I dont like. One day real rock will come back. This is not that day.....
-
High production values in the music video I watched, but it didn't hide the shitty music. I realized music passed me by earlier this year when i was hanging out around a bunch of teens watching someone film something. Music came up and then heavy metal and all the names they dropped, well guess what I never heard of them. They had no fucking idea what planet I was from. Fuck you hipster and your shit hip shitty fucking hippy shit bands!!!!

i ever seen in this site. Harry, for all his flaws, is usually much better then this. I was expecting this was Merrick posting this.
-
Mastodon is an inspired choice for the score. They are one of if not the best prog metal bands out there today. They used bluegrass and country themes in Blood Mountain and more so in Crack the Skye so the transition to a western shouldn't be too hard. I really hope the movie turns out well, but I'm sure the score will nothing short of stellar.
-
Doesn't matter whether the band is any good or not. The question is, "heavy metal" and "western" ... which of these things don't go together?
-
so what....the actors doing the voices also play instrument and sing? I knew the lead was done by the show's creator but its the same for the rest? so do they dress up like them too or is this a Gorillaz thing where its all animated on a giant screen? oh and as stupid as i may found the show, gotta give the guy credit for being different and not repeating himself. woulda never guessed he was also the creator of Home Movies.
-
Mastadon is not a particularly cool choice for Jonah Hex. Tom Waits would have been better. Throw in some Johnny Cash, some Neil Young--heck, Neil Young coulda scored this. It woulda been awesome. Ah, well. Another movie with an overly-loud, overly-irritating hard "rockin'" score. Yawn.

They migth as well change the name of the movie to "WE ARE DESPERATE AND NEED TO KISS TEEN'S ASS TO MAKE THEM WATCH THIS".

AWESOME NEWS! Now if Mermaider was a movie...
by Stereotypical Evil Archer
Metal is as dynamic as ochestral, perhaps more so. It's just dumb to be against a score you haven't heard yet. This was the best news of the day!
-
...seeing as every orchestral score these days just seems to be a pale imitation of better ones that came before. Don't dismiss the idea that contemporary bands could be potentially amazing for the right kind of films.<p> Imagine Miasma & The Carousel of Headless Horses scoring a new Hammer horror!<p> Imagine Secret Chiefs 3 scoring middle eastern fantasy/drama!<p> Imagine Thinking Plague or Univers Zero scoring a dark surrealist fantasy!<p> I know fuck all about Jonah Hex to be frank and the one thing that WILL make it get my money is Mastodon's involvement. Crack The Skye was fucking unreal. Listen to the song The Last Baron in it's entirety. If you think that's merely cookie monster metal you never had a clue about the genre to begin with, and it's better off without your glib input. By the way, don't ever watch Begotten with Sunn O))) playing over. The stuff of nightmares. I regularly watch weird films along with my favourite albums - i'd recommend it if you enjoy freaking yourself out.
-
. . . it can turn talk backers into even BIGGER douche-bags. I like this, its better than that. Blah blah blah. I'll keep an open mind for this. It's not like the score will necessarily sound exactly like their albums. And could you idiots posting just to say you've never heard of them be any lamer???
-
This is great news.
-
would have been more appropriate. Dethklok sucks ass btw. The riffs are inane and banal. Only sheeple would mistake a parody of meta for the real thing.l
-
In fact I didnt think Harry was into any heavy type of stuff. What other heavy stuff are you into Harry?
-
why don't you bitch about it?
-
his body type.
-
Look past the metal moniker with Mastodon and give listen to their instrumentals. It's not cookie cutter cookie monster chunk and dirge.
-
all the worthless shit this site calls "cool news." Not one mention of the new trailer. The geek crew's gotta step up their game.
-
will it ?

Is he ?

LOBO pg-13...BASTICH!!!!!
-
Now you're just trying too hard. <p>Back on topic: Mastadon rocks. Looking forward to this.
-
i bet there will be lots of drums and flutes and ah-ahh! ah -ahh!s.
-
the first movie was a piece of shit. Best thing to come out of all that was the great Overnight documentary on troy duffy. He's a terrible director, man.
-
Because Akiva Goldsman is producing it. So that means it's going to suck.....right? AICN says that anything that guy touches is shit....except for Jonah Hex? Why isn't the title of this article "BATMAN & ROBIN writer stuffs Jonah Hex down the toilet!"? How are they clairvoyant enough to know which Akiva Goldsman projects will be cool and which ones will suck? They've declared the FF reboot will automatically suck....despite the fact that it hasn't even been written yet!

The rest get worse and worse. Over-rated indulgent wank. It makes prog seem polite and cool. I love for metal and appreciate that they aren't metalcore, but they aren't far off... crap

-
C'mon now - in fairness metal doesn't get any more generic than Anthrax. It's standard thrash (metal thrashing mad yo!) and I used to love them alright, I just don't think there's any deeper layers you can uncover like you can with Mastodon. Their albums are whole concepts, and interesting ones at that. Try the songs Oblivion, The Last Baron, The Czar...and for more straightforward yet catchy stuff, Blood and Thunder. The lyrics are all kinds of deadly. Saying that though, they're not my favourite band or anything (that's Mr. Bungle). Just think this is pretty great news because they're the one mainstream metal band who always had great potential and are now fully realising it.
-
Mastodon is cool, but for moody, epic, orchestral sounding metal Opeth is tops!
-
I listen to is Iron Maiden. I'm pretty old school when it comes to my taste in tunes. Maiden is still considered straightforward metal right? Or is their some bullshit alternative name for them now?
-
for some fucking music critic to come at my throat. They're the worst type of snobs.
-
...are just known as heavy metal. Love them myself, Powerslave still gets regular spins. Y'know if you like that you could do alot worse than trying Dream Theater for some up to date yet still old school proggy metal. Similar style singing and DT even cover all of Maiden's Number of the Beast alsum and the song 'To Tame A Land'. The album 'Metropolis Pt 2: Scenes From A Memory' in particular. You may thank me or you may call me a wankbag. Worth a shot!

Earth is a much better choice and have a better sense of atmospherics. Sure, their early stuff is hard to take, but their recent releases have been immaculate.

They seriously blow nearly everyone else out of the water. I'm going to the NYC Mastodon/Dethklok show. BR00TAL!

Heavy rock music does not belong on a movie soundtrack. Not only does it usually ruin the film but it dates it. Harry has just ruined my anticipation of this movie.

Long Hair; Long dirty beards; Motorcyle boots; Tatoos; One or more members are fat; T-shirts; Elmo on vocals; Never smile; Marshal Amps; Average IQ of 100 or less; Songs all more or less sound the same; Think theyre cooler than the Hair Bands that gave birth to their genre but really are just the new version of what a hair band is; Really, really really reall want you to think that theyre bad-ass. Thats my guess on what MASTODON is. Was I close?
-
Seriously...not too busy and the guy simply a monster. Not the biggest fan of Mastdon's type of progressive metal but I love me some Leviathan and will have to check out 'Crack'...<p>And the news of Daft Punk doing TRON is just kick ass in so many ways. I hope they work with the same themes from the first one cause, like many here, also speaking as a musician, that music is all over the place and wonderfully original. Even the 16bit version on the standup arcade was the sweetness.<p>But this won't stop the usual crowd seeing Mastodon as the usual "neo-metal 90's schlock".<p>And yes, Rush is a love-em/hate-em kind of band but for those of us who do love them (seen them live 8 times so far!) there's no comparison to anything else. I have my favorite stuff, stuff that I play in my car a lot(new DevilDriver is brutally SICK) but the proverbial "one CD to bring to the Desert Island" question would be answerable in two words: Moving Pictures! (simply the greatest prog-rock and even regular rock album of all times, altho I might have a moment of trouble deciding between Spirit of Radio...Camera Eye is always the final selling point tho...been listening to it for well over 20 years and still not remotely tired of it!).
-
Ironically, you are mostly right outside of the implied pretentiousness. Sure, metal always has the "tough guy" look in photos as it's part of the quasi-mystique of the genre not unlike bell-bottoms in the 60's and platform shoes in the 70's. Metal guys always look angry but it's a lot better than hairspray, tight pink striped spandex and eyeliner, no?<p>What you overlook though is a musical talent not only as individuals but as a songwriting unit that isn't remotely as common as you imply.<p>I mentioned I'm not the biggest fan of the heavier prog-metal as it tends to get to into itself and I don't think "metal" (which is a horrible word to describe aggressive music) is really the best context for which "King Crimson" type musical forays can sit comfortably. To each their own of course but to outright dismiss them due to their appearance is the same silliness as loving the Jonas Brothers for theirs.

Mastodon, Dethklok, Pelican, 5ive,Opeth, White Wizzard, Electric Wizard, Cauldron, Candlemass, etc.,etc..... Man, there's a lot of white trash in here.

I have trouble seeing the coolness of this. Jonah Hex is an Eastwood-type antihero like the Man With No Name (only uglier and more ornery). A spaghetti-western type score would be great. A metal score makes me suspect they're missing the point. (The reported heavy emphasis on a supernatural element also makes me think they're missing the point. A straight Hex/Turnbull story would be great.)

A metal band I've never heard of scoring a film of a comic-book
by StarWarsRedux
Whoop-dee-shit.
-
...had Blind Guardian done the soundtrack. ^_^
-
The movie looks really cool but I can't find reviews of it anywhere.
-
they are the gayest of the gay. they should be wwf wrestlers and get it over with.
-
Holy shit, someone call The New York Times...Quin the Eskimo just made a completely unique discovery...
-
Slow news day, is it?
-
Slipknot is to incoherent what Herpies is to Vagina. Being cool with one does not mean you have to be cool with the other. Ask your mom about it.
-
Kept waiting for the Peter Gabriel part to come in. Remission and Leviathan are their best for sure. Fuck Slipknot you false metal Juggalo cock whistler. Watain fucking owns all of you!
-
Provided they write less along the lines of Crack the Skye type material. I understand their progression but don't think Hex would benefit from the current Mastodon. A mix of the more aggressive with Crack the Skye type stuff could work. Interesting news. Suicidal Tendencies worked in that one scene in Iron Man nicely so. Off to research this Daft Punk...
-
How about I ask YOUR mom when I'm banging her to a Slipknot tune?
-
Ha!!! I saw them live when they opened for real metal gods, Iron Maiden, and they blew.
-
This was not mind-blowingly awesome news. this is mediocre at best. Thanks for nothing, Harry.
-
banging a 50+ year old woman to a slipknot song? yeah that sounds about right. both of those things suck. (no offense Eskimo's mom)
-
As some have pointed out there are elements in Mastodon's stuff that suggest this could work.I liked Mastodon better before ... Their original schtick was perfected on "Circle of Cysquatch", and starting with side 2 of Blood Mountain I thought they got a little dull. The last album has great moments and they're still good but I think it's kind of over. Soundtrack work makes sense. <p>Uberman, I don't see how hair bands gave birth to the genre, since hair bands are a mid- to late-80s phenomenon and metal started in the 70s. And Mastodon are actually pretty goofy; I've seem plenty of pictures of them smiling.

Why is that news. <P> I know you talked about a dinosaur or something, but having background music in a film is not really special. Most movies have it.

Is hands down the greatest metal band on the planet!!! This is amazing news. Saw them in concert with Rob Zombie - and they blew his ass away!!! I've been hooked ever since. Iron fucking Tusk indeed!!!
-
are you guys all on crack? Have you suddenly forgotten that everytime you're watching a movie and suddenly hard rock music cranks up to go with the action, it completely takes you out of the moment, cheapens the action, the scene, and the entire movie? Don't get me wrong, I love metal on it's own, but can you honestly recall a single movie you've seen that had metal backing on the action scenes, or really any scene, that didn't completely blow ass? ESPECIALLY when dealing with a movie that takes place in a completely different era?
-
Well, we can start by citing every still that's been posted on this site, also, every still posted to date on Fangoria, Dread Central, JoeBlo, etc. So far, from what I've seen, Jonah Hex's makeup appear to be either a flesh-colored grilled-cheese sandwich stuck to the side of his face or an unfortunate incident with Russell Crowe and a hot clothes' iron, take your pick. If that's what constitutes a great makeup effect for you, so be it ... I was just kind of hoping for something that, oh, I dunno, vaguely resembled "Jonah Hex"? And not a watered-down version of Mel Gibson's makeup in MAN WITHOUT A FACE?</p><p> Granted, maybe you've seen something that's been computer-enhanced for the final product (and considering that Josh Brolin currently looks no worse than somebody who slept all night with one side of their face on a particularly hard pillow, let's hope that's the case!), and if so, please drop a link so I can see it, too!

When I don't know anything about a subject I don't post. There are a lot of people with nothing better to do and don't know shit about shit. "Duh..is it rap? Let me guess. They have gold chains, baggy clothes, and don't play instruments." This is the most ignorant kind of talkback. "I heard a bunch of young whipper snappers talking and I didn't know what they were talking about." You senile fuck. Good thing you came on here to let everyone know what a retard you are.
-
plus Radiohead = gayest shit I ever heard. I know that is what all thes intellectuals are using as the benchmark for a score.

OH GOD NOT MORE MIND-MELTINGLY AWESOME JONAH HEX NEWS
by BringingSexyBack
See subject line.
-
See subject line.
-
the idea of Brian Eno scoring Peter Jackson's 'The Lovely Bones' is infinitely more interesting to me. If there is any justice in the world, Brian Eno will win the Academy Award for Best Original Score next February. The only thing preventing this would be the Academy scoffing at too much pre-existing music being used to score the film. That is only reason Jonny Greenwood wasn't nominated for 'There Will Be Blood,' and the only reason he didn't win, because his score for 'Blood' was easily the best film score of 2007.
-
there are some things on this site which are inherent oxymorons. <p> This is certainly one of them
-
now, there's an idea
-
Then you are certainly made of the foulest smelling juice of a horses vagina.
-
Shouldn't it read that "only Satan's Mighty Balls are HOTTER!"? Or is it that Harry views the Devil's scrotum as being cool?<p>I guess, this qualifies as a "Top Story" if you're a fan of Mastodon. I'm not. And the news of JONAH HEX being scored with skull-rending heavy metal further dashes my hopes that this film will be any good. First that god-awful Harlequin-style poster, now this. I'll hold out judgement on the film, but I got a bad feeling...
-
Mili Avital in Dead Man.
-
Clearly, nothing short of an X-Rating due to Megan Fox being naked and moaning throughout the whole movie would have qualified under that particular headline.
-
Yes, WATAIN own us all!!! You have not seen true metal until you have seen Watain! That being said, I would like to think the soundtrack, though being written by a metal band, will only have elements of metal in it. Y'all are acting like it's Mastodon's next album for god sakes!

-
The shirt I wore that night still carries the stench of evil!!! I worship metal, but this movie needs a orchestral score.
-
I can't believe how many people are bitching about this. It's not like they are going to riff the whole time. Anyone questioning their ability to perform outside the lines of metal should check out the guitarist Brent's side band Fiend Without A Face. Super intricate surf rock. This will rule.
-
and they are called fucking ENSLAVED.
-
...it's apparently going to have a kick-ass soundtrack by the best-- THE BEST-- band working today. The only legitimate criticism of 'Crack the Skye' is that it is not 'Leviathan' and does not contain 'March of the Fireants.' As I do not jerk off pretending that we're going to see Megan Fox naked in this movie, at least the drumming on the soundtrack will f**king rule. Mastodon = FREAKING MASTODON.

-
Who the f*ck actually thinks this is a good idea? Let's see, gothic/horror western..ummm...yeah, Metal sounds like a good idea for the score. Sure. yeah. Well now we can write this movie off the freaking map.
-
get your priority straight.
-
Sorry. Did'nt know I was cutting so close to the bone in my estimate of what constitutes a 'MASTODON.' While I guessed at and was apparantly 100% correct in my estimation of a band who wrote the songs that will stand for at least a weeks time, I most certainly can say that I now know exactly what the average IQ is of the average MASTODON fan-of which you are a splendid example. Now go and rage against your upper middle class parents to the sounds of the mighty (drum roll please) MASTODON! (cue lame elephant trumpet followed by loud messy fart)
-
Because AC/DC scoring maximum Overdrive was SUCH a grat idea.../
-
Did a Mastodon makes a pile of sh*t? Oh, it's only a crappy film score to a crappy movie.
-
I mean, the way that you called out mastodon fans for having both a low IQ and being primarily upper middle class, well that was just brilliant. Because, of course, the stereotype of the Linkin Park-listening rebellious teen surely applies to any and all music with even a tangential relationship. Bra-vo sir. And what is even more impressive is that you kept your composure long enough to remember to add a "messy fart" joke. YOU, sir, are a behemoth of the mind. I see some Joyce in your writing, I really do. Seriously, these forums are the worst place in the world.
-
Jesus dude, are you really that lame? You throw out some ridiculous stereotype about metal bands and then you say that HAIR METAL gave birth to the genre? Really? Because I, and every other metal fan, always thought that the type of metal of which Mastodon is an offshoot came out of europe and scandanavia, not Motley Crue. Now, while you're banging your fat girlfriend, drinking an MGD, and rocking out to the Crue (CRUE RULEZ!), maybe you'd like to take some time to Wiki "heavy metal," and see what comes up, m'kay moron?
-
Read The Bell Curve and you'll realize how culturally biased IQ tests are. Oh, and get some life experience and some credibility, come back to this post in ten years and we'll really have a dicussion. Expand your horizons. I have 3 undergrad degrees and a masters, your stereotyped attack was WAY off. Better luck next time, troll.
-
Smart people, aside from the lead singer who's kind of a burnout. You guys should really expect something more nuanced than just chugging guitars.
-
It's certainly not metal. I don't know what the fuck it is, just really bizarre rap. And I fucking HATE rap. Does Slipknot incorporate a dash of it in a couple if their songs? Yes.....but Faith No More uses it a lot more and you don't consider them a rap band. Slipknot is hardcore, heavy-assed metal. I think just about everybody agrees about that. I know some people get hung up on the masks, but was KISS less of a rock band because they wore makeup? Was Motley Ctue's Shout at the Devil shit because they wore makeup and elaborate costumes? Such a stupid reason to not like a band.
-
I used to know Bill and Brann when they were in Lethargy and they are smart guys. I guess I can't vouch for the other two, but 50% of the band has got some decent brains. <p>I doubt this soundtrack is gonna be a bunch of chunka-chunka-chunka and riffing.
-
...is Tangerine Dream. You all know it.

Than Daft Punk, I just compared the two and honestly I don't see Daft Punk fitting at all, it's pretty lame. But Tangerine Dream sounds pretty cool, like something I might actually download.

ISIS and PELICAN should write film scores.
by Stereotypical Evil Archer
Those two bands are amazing, they write some nuanced and beautiful music along with totally rocking arrangements. Really dynamic stuff. I love orchestral scores, but they have become redundant; many times an orchestral score will go to great lengths to do something a rock band can do with ease. I love orchestral scores with historic epics, because it seems to fit, but when you think about it modern orchestral scores are just as anachronistic as having a metal band perform for the same story. Too bad Uberman isn't experienced enough to appreciate the wide range and capabilities of Mastodon.
-
some ignorant fanboys go "Who's Mastodon" and then blowing them off because they never heard of them. It's funny because it's like..what do you listen to do then? If people diss bands they never heard of, then you'll just be stuck with the top 40 then.

Make up and shit is fine, BLACK METAL RULES. It is the MUSIC of Slipknot that is a dripping anus full of AIDS, do get it? They are Nu Metal awfulness and are not true metal. It is a metal pop group for people who buy their music at Hot Topic and Best Buy. It is crap and you will accept it once you listen to real fucking metal and put down the Limp Biskt, Korn, Disturbed, Def Tones, Godsmack, and all the other gay crap that the misguided lost little lambs find themselves drawn to becuz they did not have an older brother to beat them with a stick and teach them of the riddle of steel. These are not in any specific order: MOTORHEAD, IRON MAIDEN, SLAYER, CELTIC FROST, VENOM, DIO, BATHORY, VOIVOD, MAYHEM, EMPEROR, KREATOR, CORONER, NAPALM DEATH, REPULSION, PENTAGRAM, BOLT THROWER, DARKTHRONE, EYEHATEGOD, DISSECTION, MERCIFUL FATE, and WATAIN. now pull your pants up and quit speaking like a retard. The snoopisms are lame man. AVE KAOS

I saw Voivod when Vio-Lence opened up for them as examples.</p><p>There is only one true death metal band and that's Death. But now that Chuck Sholdner is dead, that era has ended. I suggest you check out some other cool death metal since that's what you seem to be into.

-
Open your fuckin minds and stop listening to the radio, expand your horizons, look to other countries, there is some seriously good shit being made these days.
-
They're so predictable. I especially like the whole "I liked their early material but the new stuff sucks and they've sold out" take they all use for every band that sells more than 50,000 albums. Then they'll name-drop some obscure band nobody's heard of in order to prove how big a music fan they are. It's so pathetic. The reason your favorite band is on some obscure indie label is because they suck. Just deal with it.
-
Said perfectly.

Oh thats right, because you listen to Slipknot! In the Nam, back when I was in the shit brother we learned about what true metal is brother. You need to go back and re explore your past!

-
<p>I suppose since you were listing 30 year old shit like fuckin' Iron Douchebag, I didn't realize you had established some sort of groundrules for what era of bands I was supposed to be listing. And the only metal bands that were around during Vietnam was the original metal band, Black Sabbath!</p><p>And if you were my brother I would have garrated your ass with my umbilical cord in the womb.</p><p>Yeah Slipknot's not heavy metal but Iron Fuckstick is!

They're one of the biggest rock bands around right now.<p>Oh and "Slipknot is hardcore, heavy-assed metal. I think just about everybody agrees about that." is one of the funniest things I've read in awhile.

Thanks for the feedback. Looked good. I'll grab it next time.
-
Thanks for getting back. Nice to see people speaking the same language on here. It's a rare thing.

As if Megan Fox wasn't bad enough.
-
Daft Punk doing Tron 2 makes sense...because it's electronic music for an electronic world. When you think western...death metal isn'e exactly what comes to mind. Nothing against Mastodon. They're awesome. But for this movie...that just doesn't seem to fit. I think this is a bad idea...but I'm curious to see how it'll turn out. Hopefully I'm wrong.

I may be wrong, but I think people may have the wrong idea
by solanine
They're not doing it completely on their own, they're working with the film's actual composer. I doubt that there's going to be a lot of ripping guitar solos throughout the score. At least I hope. Mastodon is four smart musicians, I'm sure they'd know better than to have a bunch of heavy music as the soundtrack. Stuff like more ethereal elements of Crack of the Skye would work quite nicely though.<p> As an aside, I find it kind of funny people are throwing Mastodon into the "death metal" genre when they don't even really qualify as a metal band at all anymore.
-
Agreed about the death metal part, but methinks your definition of metal may be too narrow. Mastodon are still metal.
-
Yeah sometimes it feels like a bunch of deaf idiots crowded into a room, shouting their opinions over and over.
-
I have to disagree. They're just a heavy rock band now. Blood Mountain kinda straddled the two, but CTS really pushed it in a more rock direction. I'm not saying it's a bad thing, CTS is record of the year for me, but they've been getting further and further away from metal as early as Leviathan. There are metal elements sprinkled in CTS in bits and pieces (the verse riff of the title track would be a good example), but they have more in common with bands like Kyuss and other stoner rock bands these days.
-
Ha, I know you disagree. Otherwise I'd have had nothing to say about it except maybe "right on, brother!"
-
It sounds like Genesis. I think the guy was tryn to sound like Ozzy and ended up sounding like Phil Collins.
-
And thank God. As Solanine said, they are working with the film's composer John Powell. So likely we'll get an orchestral score with guitars and drums as an element. That approach can suck, or , it can work really well as in Joel Goldsmith's Kull The Conqueror , or Brian Tyler's Fast And Furious from this year. With Powell actually writing the score, all is not lost
-
I love JONAH HEX, and everything about this project sounds like a mix of WILD WILD WEST and LEPRECHAUN, with supernatural creatures fighting criminals and our cowboy hero having to deal with upped-ante threat after upped-ante threat. "THEN, TURNBILL GETS A MACHINE GUN!" "THEN, TURNBILL GETS A FLAMETHROWER!" There'll be all kinds of anachronistic crap in it, from the sound of it. "THEN, HE'S LISTENING TO TWO VICTROLAS IN MINIATURE STRAPPED TO HIS EARS, AND HE'S IN SILHOUETTE - IT'S A JOKE ON THE IPOD COMMERCIALS!" This should've been made by the guys who made DEADWOOD - that's the tone I want from JONAH HEX. Sad. I'll still see it - Brolin is a stunning actor and to see him essay Hex even once will be ok, if he even gets one scene right.
-
God, the hypocricy of this site makes me sick. "HORRIBLE NEWS ABOUT THE PUNISHER - THEY'RE MAKING THE WHOLE THING SCRATCHY METAL ON THE SOUNDTRACK!" "GREAT NEWS ABOUT JONAH HEX - THEY'RE MAKING THE WHOLE THING SCRATCHY DMETAL ON THE SOUNDTRACK" Do you guys have ANY long-term memory? Or have you seen too many Rogan movies for that?

Hope this will be well done AND cool. Just imagine if Mastodon can pull off a (haunted western) soundtrack the way Queen did with Flash Gordon!
-
Well, With Josh Brolin Playing The Lead In Jonah Hex at least he will not get killed off-camera, like he did in NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN. His death was so abrupt in that film, I wondered aloud if he had a flare-up on set and was sent packing.
