Mastodon - Colony Of Birchmen [Music Video]

[Quoopaloo666]

Linoleum Knife is still my favorite, but this is a close 2nd

[strue1979]

I freakin' LOVE Mastodon, and now that I've finally been to Ruby Falls, I have a whole new appreciation for this video. Pure. Freaking. AWESOME!

[ClaySkoal]

im not a big fan of prog metal but mastadon's good

[dauntSilver]

Hunt for ogres and dwarves, Lion slicer!!

[kornbred024]

top comment is only 4 likes & it's some stupid argument??? My time to shine........Mastadon videos rule!!! Mastadon+thc=FUCKING AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

[Skajizzle]

@kornbred024 so much for shining.

[kornbred024]

@Skajizzle haha no shit man.good thing that I hate to shine. too fucking bright

[mahavishnuxc]

So Mastodon likes to walk around a forest on LSD...nothing wrong with that.

[mahavishnuxc]

This the song i like to listen to when i'm hunting in the forest.... for human beings.

[SquidShield9000]

@jchang33 Don't hate on Sleeping Giant dude, I mean maybe this track is kind of weak but Sleeping Giant is fucking awesome!

[steelerjenn]

@KaChingKaPao They are both very different but similar as in they sound like noone else today.. Both amazing bands.. but im totally obsessed with mastodon!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBakedPotato66]

@KaChingKaPao dude im sorry i love the sword but they sound nothing like mastodon

[shwishshwash]

I have a heterosexual man crush on Mr. Hinds. I would suck his guitar's dick.

[Transcedant]

Their voices are like....norse gods. Actually, they remind of norse gods.

A lot. I just sounds supernatural. It's amazing.

[centsamilia]

@Transcedant fo sho, yo josh homme did backing vocals on this if you'se all didn't know

[LeeChavezMusic]

Mastodon is like a family with lots of kids. But all of their kids are successful, unique, and amazing in every way.

[MrPajamaShark]

I love how almost nobody has commented in two years. We need to start up again.

[ThePostmortimus]

@MrPajamaShark

People haven't responded in that long because they went out and bought the album so they don't have to go to youtube to listen to it. (like me because I brought this album everywhere to listen to and now it's too damaged to work anymore). :P

[ichimarusucksdotcom]

i love the guitar and the lyrics in the song but either then that the lead singer kinda sucks

[tkemen40]

@ichimarusucksdotcom not really

[DIOGVinushka]

@ichimarusucksdotcom What lead singer? they all sing lol

[pimptert1]

@DIOGVinushka naww...bill growls!!! :D

[bcoates102980]

what????

[Wrathbone13]

If you ladies are done making out...

Warner Bros yanked the other Colony video, that had almost a million views...bastards...

[Rangetokillz]

Wow that chicken butt fag is the biggest fuck tard ive ever fucking seen. What a faggot rock band kicks ass so he can just shove the cockinto his asshole and put another is fucking mouth

[larry52333]

wow, I was expecting that argument to go on forever, like everyone else... Shocker

[sublime1918]

I liked their older stuff better but i repsect them for their progression.

[thatkidsam0]

LION SLICERRRRRRRRR

[metaldement]

My favorite Mastodon song.

[KH2Finatix]

if you see the lyrics they are pretty goddam awesome, to bad it too hard to understand in the song

[rc64ll]

u know wat fuck u

MOPchickenbutt

[MOPchickenbutt]

People who play rockband are fags.

[crazynick66]

shut the hell up you bitch rb is cool and u now that o and hears 1 thingg u suck ok

[FEAR1394]

MOPchickenbutt is a faggot

[AJP1037]

Is this about an evil forest?

[Jarron555]

yah i suck at the game i just go there to listen to the song now lol

[Naroon201]

The 12 year old can make insults! Rejoice. I don't know how I'm a poser, but OK. Come back when you can actually make an insult that makes sense. Also, learn how to type in fucking English for Christ's sake.

[comicnerd91]

oh come on....dont stop i figured this would be one of those youtube fights that never ends...oh well:(

[Naroon201]

He called a truce so meh. XD

[Naroon201]

Couldn't come up with a valid argument? Aww, how sad.

[halfam]

Its a game guys

[vanderslammer]

the heavy sound from this song is great. i need to learn this.

[LJPA7XSKT]

lol me too

[McStewieSandwich]

this is good vid to trip balls to lol

[cadavermaniac]

threw the eyes of BIGFOOT

[FailureinLife666]

fuck yeah! sex for ur ears

[megacracker455]

sry dude its this forest is growing faster than i can i tell

just saying

[ACDCKid1]

kickass song

[Kingman1989]

It reminds me of Alice in Chains with that

"This Forest is growing faster I can tell"

[cubanrefugee26]

Well, I guess you can say all of them. Their new cd is going to be awful. Killing them all in the process.

[cubanrefugee26]

R.I.P.

[r0gueshadovv]

who died?

[theonlymorador]

actually the bass is remarkable...look at the fingerings and tell me what you see....then look at Brann on the drums. good as ever.

I think they all play really great parts for every song no matter what....by the way. the only reason you think the bass isn't so great is because you don't hear it that well..that is kinda the point. bass guitars aren't meant to be so loud and all...yes I play bass too so please. look and then comment.

[bheddon]

the bass player's testicles are hanging out

[Naroon201]

The bass is only insane at the end. I know that playing a game like Rock Band 2 isnt much like the real thing, but they chart every single note you hear on Expert, and it's displayed accurately. I can barely hit those at the when I do Expert Bass, so I know it's hard as fuck, and yes, all those guys are badass musicians.

[KSIDINGLExBERRY]

go play rock band you loser and its not the same you loser

[Naroon201]

When did I fucking say it was the same? Never. Shut the fuck up and learn how to read comments correctly, dingbat. You're just pissed because you can't even play GH or RB on easy mode. You suck horribly if you cant play a plastic guitar with 5 frets as opposed to a real guitar that has 20+ frets and 6 strings. Fucking scrub.

[KSIDINGLExBERRY]

o on the noob can play gh and rb better then me im scared and i play bass with 24 frets thats better than you hahaha lol lol lol rotfl rotfl

PRIMUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!

[Naroon201]

So because a bass might have like 24 frets, that means you can play better than me since I play real guitar? Your logic makes no sense whatsoever. Also, how do you call someone who's better than you in every way possible a noob? I'm guessing you're about 12-15? Possibly younger. I guess you *attempted* to piss me off or something, but I just ended up laughing my ass off at how sad of an individual you are.

[xnightkillerx]

You can't expect much from someone with "dingle berry" in their name.

[Naroon201]

True that, great point. I didn't even notice his name before. haha.

[ledgo22]

You win the retard award.

Here, I insist.

[johanthepirate]

Good god you're stupid, Naroon. "Guitar Hero" and the actual guitar are completely different concepts. One can be ridiculously good at Guitar Hero/Rock Band and not be able to play a single note on guitar. The same is true vice versa - some great guitarists are terrible at Guitar Hero / Rock Band.

[Naroon201]

Oh really? I totally didn't know that. /sarcasm

Good job calling me stupid by telling me things I already know. And actually, ANYONE can play a real guitar. Doesn't matter if they play kickass riffs or random ass garbage, the concept is the same: Use your fingers to press strings on the frets, and STRUM. That's how you play notes.

In no way was I saying if you're good at one, you're good at the other, so go hang yourself until you learn how to read shit correctly.

[johanthepirate]

I must have misread. What I saw was "You can't even play a plastic guitar with 5 frets, you must suck at an actual guitar with 20 frets and six strings." If you said this, than yes you are an idiot. Also, I don't recall saying that not anyone could play. Of course anyone can play guitar. About 60 percent of your response is filler :P.

[Naroon201]

I see what you mean. What I meant was, he sucked hardcore because the base of the insult insisted he couldn't play real guitars, but to make it worse he failed at playing fake plastic guitars as well.

[johanthepirate]

Ok, sorry I didn't see where he said he sucked at real guitars. I thought he was claiming skill at real ones.

[comicnerd91]

if you want to get technical its 4 on 20 which makes this even funnier then it really needs to be.

[johanthepirate]

Oh, are we talking about bass? Sorry, I hadn't been fully following the conversation. Also how does that make anything funnier?

[jcksngtr]

hey man not to be technical or anything but guitars tend to have 22 to 24 frets just so you know

[johanthepirate]

I am well aware of this.

[UnrestedSleepwalker]

@Naroon201 There's a difference between playing guitar and playing it well!

[Naroon201]

@UnrestedSleepwalker Lol you replied to a comment that's over two years old, yet I'm still here! I know that already, by the way, lol.

[Zeleii]

Dave Mustaine sucks on Easy in Guitar Hero, but the man is a fantastic normal guitarist

[Sodapop1643]

kinda remind me of static x

[r0gueshadovv]

lol same

[smartone234]

is this shot in Ruby Falls and inside the cave it's in?

'cause it looks eerily like it.

*Troy*

[PlatinumW]

Wow, that has to be Ruby Falls. The shape of the room and the waterfall look exactly alike.

[ridered300]

I love that animation at the end, so badass. The song too hahah

[quadlineboarder]

im trying to the guitar part for this song, is it that hard? so far the intro is easy, the rest isnt

[bre4dfish]

The whole song is pretty easy, been playing for a year and it's all pretty simple, including the solo, great fun to play.

[brandonc223]

Animation at the End is the best Part.

[Naroon201]

That guy on drums is godlike on drums. It's insane.

[abluecardigan]

That'd be Brann Dailor.

[rocka156]

Drums?!?!? Did you hear that bass and gutair???

[Naroon201]

Only thing remarkable about the guitar is the solo. Bass isn't anything special either. That's just for this particular song though.

[strikeanote]

Drums are diffucult in this song, I know.

[jerrythebassist]

fucking amazing band

[vegeta1992]

the drummer is amazing i think its Brann Dailor....not sure but he is an amazing drummer.

[Brangoth4]

Yeah, his name is Brann Dailor

[bradb509]

Your are both incorrect....it is Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age.

[lionslicer9999]

his name is brann dailor josh homme does guest vocals

[crusadist]

Hey...if you know anyone with a similar sound to them can you give me a point in the right direction? Thanks for considering

[Naroon201]

Just go to wikipedia and type in Mastodon, and they'll show all sorts of bands that have similar sounds and whatnot.

[alvitokid76]

acid trip anyone?

[n0obzobie]

I watched this on acid yesterday and I was freaking out.

[StonesFan85]

ur cool

[mistabenjamin6]

yeah i wish i was as cool as you

[Guitarawr]

I'm going to be completely honest here, but I never heard of Mastadon until Rock Band 2. They sound really unique and cool. I like how the singer from Queens of the Stone Age does backing vocals, too.

[fullMetaLxMantis]

its really not a big deal. its no different than hearing a song on a movie or on the radio.

[becher]

type 420 if ur high!

wow the person below me is pretty dumb DF

[Enigma793]

Dude your cool! -_-

[Gking911]

420..haha

[sniperrob]

this song is frickin amazing..the most haunting and ominous heavy song pretty much in history

[Mastomoth]

well,..idk sniperrob immean Mastodon could make something more haunting and ominous song with their follow up to blood mountain, crack the skye but idk so far it soundscool from the songs ive heard.

[devonkb]

so just how Jewish are these guys?

[1photoguy]

Is this the one that was recorded at Stone Mountain?

[heavymetalownsall]

i love this song

[kingkongo101]

MASTADON!!!!!!!!!

[TASasuke]

fuck yeah mastodon

[bobkilla5]

run RUN, with WITH, DEeaeAATHH

[wpro3]

amazing song

[guitarcrazy207]

he reminds me of ozzy for some reasons

[Drummerdude1639]

Its because of Josh Homme, he sings guest vocals on this song

[FoRtHeHoRdE180]

does he do the HUNT FOR OGRES AND DWARVES LION SLICER!!!!!!!!!!!! part? cuz hes pretty good

[Zeleii]

Nope that's Troy, he just does the chorus "Run with Death"

[Drummerdude1639]

No only Troy does that part

Josh is singing during the verse and the run with death part of the chorus

[artemus999]

When I saw these guys at the mayhem festival back in august I thought my hears were getting continuously raped but after listening to this song more and more it has grown on me. Also that song in the ATHF movie is awesome.

[insanehl]

Cut you up with a linoleum knife is fucking amazing. I love that song along with this one.

[tonytherockerboy]

Song's awesome.

Anyone else think the tree growing @ :17 - :23is kind creepy?

[Alienspider1]

Yeah, that tree freaks me out.

[Kill908090]

i usually hate metal but this song is cool

[TylerAllenVantine]

Damn that was trippin'!! lol!

[emoneyb2k]

gay

[Crazy216Carl]

Are you fuckin kidding me these guys are so creative with the drums guitar everything man so there not gay

[Dpiiiius]

Wow your a retart. Mastodon is like the best band ever...

[ianamosthethird]

its awsome its harmonic nad it gust blew my mind start open

[RaNk323itsmynamegeez]

Whats the first song i should learn from mastodon on the guitar?

[tight384]

They have awesome harmony for a metal band.

[jjninja3]

i wonder if any other video is as badass as this one

[MeetYourDemise]

looks like we get to listen this song again in Saint's Row 2 =]

Rock Band 2's awesome

[bassment01]

this song is so kick ass!!!

[slash9217]

RB and GH are a great way to get this music out to a lot of people who otherwise wouldn't hear it, I would love to wake up one day and be able to see bands like mastodon on VH1 instead of gay little contemporary crap!!!!!

[ThisIsnotHere666]

I agree. I just wish those same people would explore bands further than just the song they have on rockband. This is the case with a lot of people whose Ipods I've seen. :(

[bassment01]

i agree. one song dosent make the band <=(

[jjninja3]

dammit now the nerds at my school are gonna ruin a bunch of good songs

[15thavenueboys]

I doubt people you hardly know will ruin a song that is not popular enough to even receive a little radio airtime.

[jjninja3]

dude my radio station plays this song all the time

[Rawker31]

You are lucky

[JLPIII]

wat station? and wat does it play(wat types of rock)?

[Gavesit]

Sometimes people like you just confound me.

How do you expect people to discover bands like this or Dream Theater, or Soundgarden etc. etc. that get little air time? Divine revelation? A bird flying to them in a dream carrying an album of the band's with "BUY THIS" stamped across the front of it?

Seriously, as long as the band gets more exposure I wouldn't care if it was used in Barbie's exciting fabulous girly adventures (this song specifically would be interesting in that...)

[whoismikeflores]

knew this before RB2

[halifuckinfan]

i did

[RegimentML]

One of my favorite Mastodon songs. They're incredible.

[ShockaSlim]

I dunno, I prolly wouldnt have started listening to metal at all if it wasnt for these rhythm games...

[Brangoth4]

It saddens me knowing that in a few days people will start leaving comments on this video saying "OHMYGOD I FRACKIN <3 THIS SONG ON ROCK BAND 2 LOL"

People need to listen to music, not play video games to it. :/

[77KBK77]

lol

[whitestripesftw]

It makes me sad too... they'll never know the joy of Mastodon truly... they'll just know that the "CHARTS R AWEZOME"

[itsnickkessel]

Sounds like a Guitar Hero fanboy to me.

[CyberLemons]

Well games like Rock Band and Guitar Hero introduce you to the bands and the songs, if you get introduced to them through the game and you start to like them, then hey, you might have found your new favorite band, so what if its on a video game.

[halifuckinfan]

I thank guitar hero so much when i was 8 i heard RATM's guerrila radio on the radio and had no idea who the band was (and i got the words wrong so youtubeing the lyrics i knew got me nowhere) then i bought guitar hero 2 loved killing in the name looked them up found guerrila radio and to this day RATM is my favoirte band saw them twice live durring their reuninon tour (amazing band live probibly the best)

[zazzafrazz]

what does RATM have to do with Mastodon... this blog is about Mastodon. If you really wanna be a guitar hero, drop that silly game and learn to play the guitar for real.

[halifuckinfan]

i play bass ive been playing for two years...the rest of the band dosent sound shitty when i play guitar hero for fun at friends houses...the game isnt the sin of the earth how many underated bands got big after there apperance in the game? What is the propper way to learn of a band? hear it on the radio? dumb kids will still only download the one song they heard on the radio so it dosent even ruin bands guitar hero has great music on it too the game dosent make duches the people all ready were

[fullMetaLxMantis]

spot on dude

[KonanXIX]

In guitar hero 2 a shitty cover band plays Killing in the name....

[halifuckinfan]

ya it was....im glad however that i found the band again the game isnt the sin of the earth..and ive been playing bass for two years now so its not like OMG IVE GOT SkILLz LOL ROFL gayness

[SufferingBastard666]

i dont know why do you have a -5 for your comment.. but i highly agree with you

[mrawesome565]

how the fuck did a conversation start about the educational system? well whatevs i agree its comeplete shit. Mastodon forever!!!!

[therealdiehl41]

Slipknot isnt fucking metal, i do listen to thier music and slipknot isnt that bad of a band, i also enjoy disturbed but its not metal. Calling Slipknot metal is like calling Fall Out Boy alt rock

[ConiferTreez]

Mastadon used to be cool before all of you god-awful faggots started listening to them

Mastadon have never heard of slipknot, EVER.

slipknot & any other type of mainstream music = FAGGOT MUSIC

get it through your goddamn heads

Mastadon were influenced by bands like MELVINS & NEUROSIS, LEGENDARY bands that actually matter

not some no-name slipknot buncha faggots

[TheBumbino]

thank you for that slipknot is the biggest fucking poser band

[brennen90]

yeah thats exactly what i thought until i saw slipknot live last month... you cant judge them until you see them in person

slipknot is a pretty badass metal band

just listen to new abortion or psychosocial

[pspx234]

who in there right minds would think a band is metal because of masks?? and at least explain why u think they are not instead of just saying there not.

[DeathMagnetic09]

fuck faggot slipknot..with there breakdowns, who else thinks psychosocial has a gay breakdown at the end???

[pspx234]

only u

[Gutgrinder304]

when i first heard about slipknot i thought they were going to be the next GWAR... i was wrong they are a joke

[kyledyr]

I can't believe they picked this shitty excuse for a Mastodon song for Rock Band 2. The singer sounds like the whiny version of Ozzy Osbourne from the "Down To Earth" album. Shitty choice. They should have picked Iron Tusk.

[slapguitarer]

yes i agree they sould have picked a diffrent song for rock band 2 but this song is awesome its not shitty

[nocoolnameleft4me]

they could have done "cut you with a linoleum knife" by mastodon from the ATHF movie, that song has the best lyrics ever

[Zeleii]

Far from shitty, but there are MUCH better choices for RB2, but this is possibly the most marketable to a general audience and nobody fucking respects it still. It's just proof nobody has an understanding of what what music really is.

If they only had Blood Mountain available I EASILY would have chose This Mortal Soil or Capillarian Crest.

BTW Sleeping Giant was a bad song choice for a game like GH3, but a great song.

[pspx234]

slipknot is nu-metal u fat cows!!!

[fatso123111]

If Slipknot is good live then they're fuckin good altogether.

[sheepdog1216]

thank you man. somebody agrees. i dont get why everybody is getting so pissed off about it.

[quakerbone]

Damn, Blood Mountain would make a good album-movie.
