[hoshbrown41]

That poor hi hat....

[EchoEffect8888]

Shivers. Up. My. Spine. Incredible

[Orangemongoose1]

This song is no joke the reason I got a fretless

[fs07]

Oh my FUCK that riff is money

[MsMelanie415]

Wow!!!!! Ça arrache!!

[Bh4viSB27]

FUCK this is so amazing. I cannot stop listening...and listening...and listening. Roy and Darren are fucking insane.

[stalem8e]

All out awesome vid....nice bass lines and drumming

[90FirstGenPGT]

Great Video, thanks for postin!!!

[Moog167]

I met Paul at a MM show in Baltimore and we just geeked out about music and when I mentioned Jaco Pastorius and Paul said "Roy LOVES that guy! We dig Weather Report's music as well"

From that night on I have a HUGE respect for MuteMath as people and musicians!

[antiemo666777]

roy looks like ben gibbard from death cab for cutie

[peaceboy723]

@antiemo666777 I thought i was the only who who thought that.lol

[lakai958]

@antiemo666777 mutemath > death cab

[antiemo666777]

An artisan of the bass

[hoshbrown41]

that poor hi hat gets the everliving crap beaten out of it

[gmcjetpilot]

The guy on keys and singer looks like the actor on FX TV's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I think the characters name is Dennis.

[Yoodacris]

you cant deny it. whether you like their music or not, they are pure talent.

[PSNgregiskool]

aaah teamwork @ 3:50.

[edbergsa]

Esta si es una gran fumada... =P

[90FirstGenPGT]

what's not to like... simply LOVELY

[gormarx]

OK, I like MuteMath and all, but all this drooling over Roy's playing is ridiculous, he's no big deal at all as a bassist., even though both he and the whole band are a zillion times more interesting than their contemporaries. Look up Mick Karn to hear a seriously good fretless in pop/rock.

[Browncoat1138]

Roy and Darren are having way too much fun up there... saw these guys in Chicago in 2007, with The Cinematics and Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin. That show was absolutely perfect... The openers were great, in their own ways, with SSLYBY exuding a sort of awkward, geeky charm, the Cinematics sounding like an updated Joy Division merged with the Talking Heads, and Mute Math put on the best show I've seen, ever. Well, second best. I saw Muse in march and they were fucking EPIC.

[AStarrism]

SHIIIIITTTTT!

that was one of the most amazing things ive ever seen!

man....

[Moog167]

I was talking to Paul after a MM show and we were talking about Jazz groups like "Weather Report"...then we talked about Jaco Pastorius, Paul said "Roy is a huge Jaco fan" I was like "YESSSSSSS!"

[lacafej]

I think this song is really great! Nice rhythm changes in the bass-line, lilt cutting with the drums and so on..... it's amazing, very good to see and hear something which is new and good. Grat!

[DaeronCarvalho]

It's eat my ears! Mutemath Rules!

[hopestae]

Gosh, I wish I could play set like Darren....

[forkv]

Cool, a modern bassist using flats! Hitting a guitar with drumsticks reminds me of sonic youth lol..

[1LHPrincess]

WOW!! Their talent is so ridiculous! must they be soo creative!!?!!

[rockston11]

absolutely incredible...one of the most unorthodox bands ever..unbelievably imaginative. i want so badly to meet the band....i know i would gain inspiration just by hearing them speak about their instruments. they are all my heroes for each instrument (i'm a one man band by the way, lol)

[BradKlodowski]

wow... these guys never cease to amaze me

[wierdxxpanda]

HAHAHAH I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH

it makes me want to giggle. hahahahhaa

The only thing is, sometimes, when he goes from low to high, he goes too high, and it's kind of annoying. But I still love it.

I think everyone in the band is freaking talented, and I love that whole playing the electric guitar with a a mallet hahaha

[sokerhead]

omg I love this it's amazing to my ears

[ElQuesoDiablo]

I love this so much.

If anyone knows how to play this PLEASE post an instructional video or link to a tab.

I need to know how to play this.

[kinoandsarah]

Roy Mitchell has a blog that shows you how to play the bass lick

[ElQuesoDiablo]

Do you have a link?

[SWbassist99]

nice bass

[futuremason4301]

darn good music

[AceFlash111]

just hear that sexy bass....

[metalguitar311]

yeah yeah...roy roy roy...what about the guitarist using a mallet to hit the guitar!!! that's pretty awesome haha

[sightonsound]

there is something about roys playing that is amazing.i mean maybe he doesnt play the fastest slap bass or tap bass but if you listen to the recordings the way he goes from his low tones to his high tones is perfect.he just knows where to play on the neck to convey the right emotion for the song

[mutemathsuperfan]

ROY ROCKS MY WORLD :)

Love standing here at every show!!

Where was this show??

[booter7]

930 Club in Washington, DC

[CCNuck]

That was just fantastic - incredible video from you, incredible playing from Roy (and from Darren, as per usual).

[mediawestca]

ROY is awesome.

I love how he tours with his Upright Bass now.

That is even cooler :)

[Sparrrxxx]

[mutedmathamatician]

Roy Rules.
