I will say this is my second favorite band and he is an amusing drummer (my second favorite), but you guys should check out arctic monkeys their drummer is crazy good! Espicaly on the song "Brianstorm". His name is Matt fucking helders! Also does anybody know what effect Isaac uses on black caddiliacs?
Isaac is not a shitty guitar player, he plays sloppy because it goes well with the songs... He is not about playing clean, he has to play dirty because that's the way it is in life... To quote Medication,
We're all doctors trading sadness for numbness
Grass looks much greener but it's green-painted cement
The mayor's machines are there cleaning the pavement
You can't make dirt clean so we'll just lemon-scent it
@equallyeasilyfuqyou are you out of your mind?!?!? you must not be a guitar player or musician of any type because isaac brock is an amazing guitar player w a nontraditional style creadted by himself which is matched by no one. TRY playing half the shit he writes, even if u have fundamental or advanced guitar skills his songs r challenging
@Oriente7 That's because you're just playing guitar. Try singing and playing at the same time.
Even that isn't his genius. His songs aren't meant to be amazing in technique or innovation. He paints starkly original tunes and lyrics with a basic set of skills that never loses focus on the product for the sake of complexity. Even when they added Johnny Marr, his lines merely reinforced the melody of the lyrics and Isaac's lead. Except for Dashboard. He owned that, a little.
@chugalow No, I sing along to...just takes a little practice to get it down, as with any song thats not as complex. And yeah I agree with you. The only thing that keeps me from playing it too its full potential is no having other instruments or guitars to play along with. On the other hand, writing them clearly shows the intense creativity that is Isaac Brock. Rather then listening to the record and playing it....
@equallyeasilyfuqyou He writes some cool stuff. Just cause it's a bit sloppy and simple doesn't mean it's shitty. It's a bit off the beaten path and he's got a pretty good ear for tone in my opinion. Most of it is pretty easy to play though.
Song makes me wanna be a trucker, with Isaac, Jeremiah, and Eric. Rolling round the lonesome crowded west, up and down Interstate 8 sure as hell wouldn't be a long drive with someone with nothing to think about.
@jBrrou...I'm with ya, but LCW isn't their debut..."It's a Long Drive..`` is one of the best debuts ever...and then abunch of eepees...they`d been around for years
another 5/5 performance! i fell in love with that triad guitar riff in the chorus ("i don't feel and i feel great....") when i first gave my ear to this
I swear there is some sort of addiction in modest mouse. I heard them, then had to hear everything else they have ever done. Even sad sappy sucker ahahaha
i've listened to this so many goddamn times in the past couple years....so damn good. i very much wish i could have seen them play at this point in their career... but i also wish them their continuing success. long live modest mouse
it would be my dream to be there, 1998, seattle, a fresh modest mouse, touring after the best debut album ever was made, small crowd n place, like the fuki nnirvana u get from running too much
Honestly, they were never a "true" three man crew. They always had someone else on their albums playing various instruments, even back during the making of Blue Cadet-3. They toured with only 3 members, but there's always been supporting players on the music.
@BruisedEyeSockets Apparently he's really nervous/weirded out in person, I know a friend of a friend who met him, apparently he just talked about his cats.
lcw is a brilliant album and long drive is good. but i still like some newer stuff, issac brock is a great lyricist i love the synical and contradicting lyrics!
Building, Drive, LCW M&A, Good News, Ship, would have to be my order. I thought sss was awesome but only because i am a fan of their work. you honestly cant say that its their best though. Night on the sun and Red hand case are my favorite songs.
Great video. One of the best for audio and video I've found on youtube. I understand that the audio is dubbed, but still. Totally worth it and synched very well.
I would tend towards Lonesome Crowded West because I think as an album, it's more complete and cohesive than Moon and Antarctica... It has the same sort of desolate, existential, world-turned-to-shit feel throughout, wrung out more than their previous stuff.
WOW, I can't believe someone said that! To each his own though. All are great albums! Personally I feel they did away with alot of elements they built upon throughout the first two albums on M&A, which I didn't like at all. For me its LCW, Long Drive, then Moon. I think most would agree with this order, or Long Drive, LCW, then M&A. Either way, all are good! :)
Does anyone know anything about Jeremiah's life, as in is he a self taught drummer or did he have lessons? He's just so technically amazing, my head just can't comprehend it!
Jeremiah Green is a fuckin beast, he was rated #37 out of the top 50 drummers of all time on some rock magazine, Spin or Blender or something like that, I'd have to look it up later. Should've been a lot higher in my opinion but whatever. Whoever told you he sucked, applepie, is probably the biggest shithead to walk this planet.
yeah he's one of my top 10 fave drummers. In fact I don't understand people saying ANY mouse musicianship sucks, except for people who hate Isaac's vocals (which I love, but can understand those who dont). But the guitar, bass, and drums...all impecible.
"Went through the Carolinas and paid the rent." I saw this band in a very small bar in Charleston SC in the summer of 94 and had no idea they would eventually be as huge as they are now. Didn't think much of them until I heard this song on lonesome crowded west. Then it hit me that this was the band all grown up.
Jeremiah is such a fucking amazing and underrated drummer. I've tried learning the drum intro to this song and its so tricky to get all the little fills just right, he's incredible!
It does bother me too about "not" playing old songs. But you really have to understand I play in a band and we too have old songs that we don't enjoy playing anymore. And we always find playing our new songs exciting to play. Its just a different perspective between the fans and the band on what sounds better to them.
damn nice video, and for a second i thought it was someone else because isaac looks skinny in this video than he normally is haha, but yeah this kickass thanks for posting.
he looks so skinny because i think he was addicted to cocaine in the 90's but i think he stopped when the new millenium hit because now it looks like he gained alot of weight.
its hard for me to believe that i was only 10 when i got interested in MM. I remember seeing "Float On" on MTV at my grandmas house and i would sit right infront of the TV with the volume blasting.
I got "Good News" as a present from my parents in August when it came out. they would allow me to buy a CD to listen to when we were driving to Maryland. I remember i couldn't stop listening to "The View" and from then on I was Hooked. haha good times..
Why the hell did this comment get a down vote? Good News is just as good as every thing else MM has done. Float On is a fun song, too. Not to mention, Isaac pretty much said himself "Fuck your ideals, it keeps the lights on in my house." Listen to Black Cadillacs, The World at Large, Satin in a Coffin, Spitting Venom, Parting of the Sensory and tell me they've changed at all. Hipsters are scum. Modest Mouse has and always will be amazing.
There's so much difference now. Stars are Projectors against We've Got Everything? Bankrupt on Selling against Missed the Boat? Edit the Sad Parts against Ocean Breathes Salty? I can keep going. It's just harder to listen to some of these newer songs. Yeah there are a few jems in between, but I don't want to have to be a diamond hunter when I listen to Modest Mouse.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
just to clarify i meant of the new songs mother fuckers. i eat sleep and breathe the mouse bitches. 10 points on the karmas payment plan if any of you shit stains can tell me where my name is from

Why the hell did this comment get a down vote? Good News is just as good as every thing else MM has done. Float On is a fun song, too. Not to mention, Isaac pretty much said himself "Fuck your ideals, it keeps the lights on in my house." Listen to Black Cadillacs, The World at Large, Satin in a Coffin, Spitting Venom, Parting of the Sensory and tell me they've changed at all. Hipsters are scum. Modest Mouse has and always will be amazing.

There's so much difference now. Stars are Projectors against We've Got Everything? Bankrupt on Selling against Missed the Boat? Edit the Sad Parts against Ocean Breathes Salty? I can keep going. It's just harder to listen to some of these newer songs. Yeah there are a few jems in between, but I don't want to have to be a diamond hunter when I listen to Modest Mouse.
