Spinner reports that Metal men Mastodon aren't wanting for famous fans. The Foo Fighters and Metallica, among others, have professed their love for the band, but it's one rocker's seal of approval that have Mastodon glowing: Bruce Springsteen.

That friendship is what ultimately led Mastodon to work with producer Brendan O'Brien, who produced Springsteen's 'The Rising' and 'Magic.'
