The Damien Rice poster behind Mastodon drummer Brann Dailor as he talks about the band's activities (shows, interviews, eating bad Indian food) in the first segment of this video tour diary from the group's current trek with Tool makes for a pretty hilarious juxtaposition, but that isn't even close to the funniest part of the video.

That would be Dailor's tongue-in-cheek insistence that Mastodon's partying consists of eating cookies and drinking milk, followed by a bartender telling a minute-long story to bassist Troy Sanders explaining how Mastodon got him fired from London's Crowbar. The guy doesn't seem the slightest bit mad, probably because he's as charmed by those friendly Georgia accents as we are.

Bartenders beware:
