Bassist brothers Troy Sanders and Kyle Sanders star in another funny promo for Orange Amplifiers.
Mastodon’s Troy and Hellyeah’s Kyle offer a half-baked demonstration of the Orange Crush amplifiers in their outdoor studio before Orange rep Alexxx attempts to take over.
Troy says: “My favourite amp is the bass amp. it’s got a plug, you can plug it into the wall”, as Kyle adds: “This one’s got a handle and it can either go on or off.”
- Aaron Keylock releases All The Right Moves video
- Johnny Depp used music to escape 'nightmare' childhood
- Listen to cello cover of Queen’s The Show Must Go On
- Metallica hang out with the tribute band they almost sued
The pair proceed to shut down the rep’s sales talk and instead take a series of absurd phone calls – including a confused competition winner and a heavy breather who asks Kyle to take his shirt off.
The Orange Amps promo follows their spoof bass-off in the fictional Orange Amplifier Classic Competition.

Troy recently revealed that Mastodon’s upcoming seventh album is “in the bag.”

He added: “We’re just putting a timeline together of when and where. So that’s all coming together now. So 2017’s going to be an incredibly busy and fruitful year in the world of Mastodon.
“I’m fortunate to be able to say that. I’m very excited for what the new year will bring.”
Further release details will be revealed in due course.
