Mastodon - Colony Of Birchmen performed in 2009 [Live - The Interface] Widescreen

[jimmyredpant]

run **drumdrumdrumdrumdrum* with *drumdrumdrumdrumdrum* DEAAATHH.. omg what a song

[imnotmehehe]

Never seen a band with more epic facial hair

[300daysandnights]

got the same guitar strap as Brent.... it's very comfortable....very

[moriya2k2]

At least Troy's mike works for once.

[Mayhem3033]

what are you saying i think their vocals are getting better, i saw em in 08 and this is definately better

[MrIhaveacat]

i laughed so hard at his face when he said dwarf XD

[ieatmints]

this band have their ups and downs while singing live, but to be able to scream, sing, play guitar all at the same time is-- they never miss a guitar riff while playing nor beat... imagine lady gaga (had to be her) doing the same thing and sucking... the guys fucking rock

[sndgarden]

i've learned that playing and singing in the same time can be rather difficult, especially when speaking 'bout progressive metal. Imagine playing some progressive psychedelic metal stuff and singing after you drank like a bushman and doped yourself good backstage :))

[TLJCBFH]

Even though Mastodon is awesome. Their vocal suck so hard >.<

[jewbacky]

Their vocals are getting worse

[utubeciaociao]

I Think They're the best band

[bushey6661]

fucking love this song

[Cerrani91]

Fucking kickass performance. Nothing else left to say.

[usedmothlight]

VIEW 69699!

[dannycatastrophe]

my god they are going sooooo hard with this song <3

[metalfanzbodie]

It is simply unbelievable what Brann can do with such a simple drum kit.... god, these guys are all so musically talented, it isn't fair for everyone else :) oh well, thats how it goes

[Diegoplaysguitar]

These guys are modern day of Vikings.

[XxBLaCkOpSwArHeRoxX]

He reminds me of a pirate :)

[seamonkey2138]

Needs more shots of Brann

[IamMcMull3n]

that mustache is secretly the fifth member of Mastodon.....

[lalo3392]

This deserves respect

[imdynamite7]

@XxSameerxX the weird thing is, he looks like him, but also talks and acts almost exactly the same too, I watched an interview of them at Download 2007 earlier when he was hammered, and it kinda scared me how much I felt like I was looking at Alan from the Hangover...

[DrRockstarSpade]

yo he is rocking the shit of those drums

[FatalNemesis0]

@DrRockstarSpade check out their remission record, the drums are insanely hard to play

[robertomartinoVIIIII]

0.39 I BE A PIRATE

[aaronpeters666]

i suddenly feel like tattooing my face

[chaseman6]

If i could grow a beard like that my life would be complete

[Kreuger]

What the fuck are they on here? That dude looks like hes on H or something.

[crazieassproductions]

Br00tal

[chinostaley]

THE BEARDS!!! IT' ALL ABOUT THE BEARDS!!!

*EPIC BEARDS = EPIC MASTODON*

[grazza555666]

Just awesome ! Easily the best band going round today !

[007Pogo]

This song is a homage to Colony of Slippermen by Genesis.

[jkjl234]

anybody who says they don't sing well live doesn't understand the singing for what it is. its creepy, ambient singing and growling and yelling like a monster. thats exactly what they sound like and its amazing.

[Warriorboss14]

@jkjl234 Fuck yeh!!!........

[Jimihendrix6699]

dammit troy. your awesome lol.

[hallsey123]

Whoever thinks this band sucks, has passionate sex with their mom. Losers!

[radiohead419]

mastodon fans are in denial that they sound like shit in this video...

i like mastodon alot but they fucking cant sing lmfao

they sound good in the recording

[StaulkHolm]

@radiohead419

i agree and i love this band. they cant sing live but they could do it if they tryed harder tool vocal lessons to sing. they could just do instrumental too. the songs have a very progressive feel so they could easily do that. and they arent drunk either, a very common argument for bad singing in general, they are playing on time.

[Warriorboss14]

whoever recorded this sucks at recording!

[themu5ic]

they really are poor live, such a turn off.

[davethehostage]

This is beard music.

I actually feel unfit to listen to Mastodon with a clean-shaven face.

[JorahDumond]

@davethehostage Think about how Brann feels playing with them.

[jesseb1991]

troys vocals blow my mind..

[MetalHeadFilipeG96]

@jesseb1991

Troys vocals do the same to me, hes an underrated vocalist, hes an amazing singer in every ways possible

[antonioantonio160493]

@jesseb1991 i ve thought tha same thing...

[MrMusikman24]

I love Brents voice its so different and cool, but am i the only one that laughs at the sight of him singing. He looks like he's passing a kidney stone especially when he screams lol...

[Blackwater117]

Seriously, who were the four people that "disliked" this? You're out of your minds..

[imortalsmile18]

@Blackwater117 agreed, they need to be shot.

[nicksaysword]

sometimes watching these makes me want to go to one of mastodon's concerts on unreasonable amounts of acid and just go crazy, then my life would be one huge mastodon-related trip

[MyEggIsBoiled]

What a beastly looking crew of fellows.  They all looks like they'd put down a fifth of whiskey and just fucking kill everything in existence with their gnarly vocals, hair, and sludgy riffs.

[starskyguitarman]

I'm a very big MASTODON fan,but in these videos(the interface) brent is like a kid!He's fuckin cute & funny .

Sorry Brent!

[da16guy]

i saw them they are awesome

[CHICKMAGNET66666]

Ihave the same strap as brent

[omeo93]

@CHICKMAGNET66666

me too!

[lasseolsen]

Believe me, Bill drinks ! big time xD

[k0ng0fw0rld]

Mastodon = Raw Energy

[ActionMan153]

brann is a great drummer.

[helmsters93]

@ActionMan153 understatment

[McMothman]

Compared to the original, this version is plain horrible in my ears

[guttermoth]

The guitar was so fat with fuzz..it sounded bad ass.

[BloodDrunk17]

brent probably gets some serious drugs...

[yeeeeeeeoman]

@BloodDrunk17 he doesn't do drugs anymore

[LiDaPh]

the vocals at 3:12 holy shit!

[XxSameerxX]

you ever notice (brent? im not good with the names) looks like a crazy metal Zach Galiafnakias.

[lubricaid]

this is very true..

[Norskmann92]

@XxSameerxX holy fuck......I was thinking the exact same thing.

[Soniclife91]

@XxSameerxX i think Zach Galiafanakias Brent Hinds and Jarred Warren of Big Business should start a band

[Metallicawk]

@XxSameerxX You know, i have always thought that, lol

[sluggar22]

@XxSameerxX LOLOLOLOL i was thinking the same exact thing XD

[IamTetsuo360]

@XxSameerxX Yeah, Brent Hinds, and lmao XD

He always reminds me of my maternal grandfather (a red-bearded Irishman).

[lifebayne]

@XxSameerxX Yes, everyone has. Brent is way funnier though, on AND off the court.Er, stage.

[bandalanif]

EARGASAM

[megadethfan4]

vocals were much better when i saw them live in 09

[megadethfan4]

greatest band of the decade in my opinion. they seem a bit drunk

[BeyondZeGrave]

@megadethfan4

i don't think bill can drink anymore, after that thing that happened last summer when he was in the hospital for like a month.

[masteroflicks]

What actually happened to him?

[Transferhell]

YES, and that's the way we like them!

[tac8357]

fuckin aye these guys rock !!!!!

[eoinluvsgrunge]

From 0:46 to 0:56. Man, that chorus is just fucking unreal. I love all the vocals coming together, so trippy

[FFVIIGuy123]

The video's pretty trippy as well, if I do say so myself.

[bslz65]

THE ALMIGHTY MASTONESS TOUR. baroness and mastodon headlining world tour

[DavenportCabinet]

Thinking of that gave me a boner.

[Boutana00]

I'm going to see that.

[Whysnap]

Sounds like Troy forgot how to do his signature growls in all of his training/practice for clean vocals for Crack the Skye. Still sounds good, but it doesn't boom like he did on Blood Mountain tours. I don't remember it being an issue when I saw them on the Dethklok tour, though. Maybe he was just giving it a rest.

[bslz65]

woah brent turn down the fuckin gain a little

[tonytherockerboy]

i was waitin for the amp to blow lol

[wizard100115]

what i like about the m they work hard so props

[GuitardEd26]

They're a bit better at singing songs from their previous albums, but that's only because Crack The Skye's got some crazy ass melodies and harmonies. It'd be hard for anyone to keep up. Props to Mastodon, can't wait to see at Mastoklok show. :D

[Psytheslasher]

Yep. Like when they were recording the banjo on divinations, Brent had no idea they were doing it and asked later how the hell he would play that live.

[greghicksUS]

seeing them thursday!!!!!!

[halofourteen85]

goddamn Brent rocks so hard.

[ghostdevastater]

lol look at 0:40 his face is soo funny

[nicksaysword]

at the end.... i pooped my pants a bit

[bslz65]

i dont know what i want more. the silverburst or the goldtop. probably the goldtop

[alanale]

i would go for the goldtop, its just damn class!!! the silverburst is good too but nowadyas is so popular and its getting more common

[orcgoat]

gold top les paul with with bigsby tremlo *drool*

[HamerLamer]

@orcgoat im in love with that guitar.

[Balimeister]

If I were to kill a grizzly bear with my bare hands in the Canadian woods, this song would be the soundtrack.

[nicksaysword]

lol you should do that, that would be sweet

[empty216]

If I were to kill eight grizzly bears with just my forehead, it would be the soundtrack.

[flybikes29]

lmao

[deltonesan]

@Balimeister But the grizzly bear has to reincarnate as a warlock and curse your family for 1000 yrs... then you realize you are on LSD...

[martyfischetti]

@Balimeister <3333333333333333333333333

[braindamaged5]

f*cking amazing. 'nuff said.

[angeltallica]

good luck whit that small fry

[kvon45]

i feel ya on the tone. kinda annoying, but it grows on you

[stumpmaple]

THE best band ever!

[UlcaTron540]

dam i luv the part at 3 15 to 3 17

[loon313]

Mastodon and Baroness would be a awesome tour !

[azombiestool]

That fucking tone at the beggining, OMG. The best :)) WTF is Brent using? LP goldtop. What marshall is that? i want that tone!

[gelincobain]

very good. yes the melvins and metallica yeahh

[Capirosko]

GREAT performance! same for the song

[iceheadstudios]

The singer reminds me a lot of Lemmy...

[TamitShah]

this band is starting to build

[DaniPellet]

starting?

[Drummeric1989]

their drummer is unbelievable. i fucking love the tempo change from 1:52 to 2:05

[seblobubbleman1]

fucking amazing

[MansonFan64]

lol yup

[MansonFan64]

y did bill grow the handlebar moustache? im jsut curious. it looks good on him now that i am used to it but it is just really random

[DWDrummerJon151]

HAha i was just thinking that, its totally awesome, but i was wondering why handle bar out of all styles

[Proboscismunky]

Handlebars doth be bad assery.

[MansonFan64]

only on straight ppl....but they are kinda gay on really buff guys....and no i don't wanna hear by anyone, "do you have a problem with gay ppl?" I do not. I have a lot of gay friends....i just think the handlebar mustache can be gay on some ppl

[Proboscismunky]

True - like that YMCA cop guy for example.

[DWDrummerJon151]

If u watch the Crack The Skye special edition dvd theres a really funny rant from Brann about moustaches xD

[MansonFan64]

ok, now i really have to buy it now!

[DWDrummerJon151]

Was that sarcastic caus i do highly recomend it:)

[MansonFan64]

no it wasn't sarcastic....i really do want to buy it! :)

[azombiestool]

I saw it :)

but Troy also made a comment on it :P

[hoosyerdaddie]

He probably wants to channel the spirit of the most metal man on earth, the immortal Lemmy.

[MansonFan64]

well lemmy has what i like to call the muttonstache where his 'stache grows into his mutton chops.....

[Corsicade]

cool vid, but the sound quality is lacking

[elvispresly1]

fucking BEASTS!

[tfonseca2]

VERY GOD!

[Commiteee]

Wait, is theire a 5th person in this vid? I don't see one.....

[acandycolorednick]

HAHAHAH..lol sorry just you mixed up Bill and Josh

[TehBuddah]

Never mind, I don't think that's even Josh. But anyways, Josh Hommes is the lead singer of Queens of the stone age, but it's the guy with the barrels who i'm talking

[eFFeeMMe]

That's Bill Kelliher, their rhytm guitarist!

[TehBuddah]

Josh's facial hair cracks me up xD

[DoglessEndeavor]

Call me stupid, but who is Josh?

[TheNumetal95]

brents voice is one of a kind

[gilgameth]

Homme fucked up the studio version of this tune. Much better live without that mess on there in the chorus. The 'dons must have been trying to get the 19 QOTSA fans out there...

[TheNumetal95]

öh what did you meen by that lol

[umyasam]

is it just me or is brent a mix between Jon c. Riley and Seth Rogen?

[rageagainstthepixies]

Ive always said this band lust looks like the birthchildren of josh homme and seth rogen.,

[Rebekah086]

i love this song...not that complicated to play...but a little challenging.. :D

i love Brent!!!!

[violatorut2003]

HEY LOOK! It's the metal version of Paul Sr. from Orange County Choppers!!

[nicksaysword]

that was sweet, the end was awesome

that looks pretty hard to play

but if you could play it, it would be wicked fun

[TheMasterShake100]

wow they really kicked ass at the end!

Mastodon is the greatest!

[babyg474]

the music they play is very, VERY hard to play. It's hard for me to believe that they pull it off with quite good vocals.

[demonwerewolf110]

My god, the gain! lol Kick ass performance, all the same, though. I love the little kick that Brent did. I got a good laugh from that.

Also, is there a video or interview anywhere with Brent where he explains the tattoo that goes over his forehead?

[bews522a]

He talks about it in a faceculture (dot com) interview. Its a Hawaiian tiki headdress.

[demonwerewolf110]

Oh, ok. Cool! Thanks! :D

[Thelaofkazi]

Is it me, or do they always look stressed and just a little bit drunk live? The vocals always sound awkward, but the rest of the music is spot on.

[chubbymosher700]

yeah the vocals always do sound a bit messed up

[SkipperDiscoLand]

Brent is drunk most of the time

[lunnyyy]

brent hinds (think thats right) always looks in pain to me lol awesome band love them

[beeman4266]

Just how he screams :P

[dornerd]

That's because he's giving birth, giving birth to AWESOME music that is.

[Blackgoat515]

Guitar is a little muddy at the begining but besides that Kick ass performence.

[Punisher541]

so uhh just to be sure lol who is the main front man? cuz some ppl say its brent and others troy then others say they share their vocal duties which makes them both equal, so i just want to be sure who is lol

[MessiahbolicalGOAT]

They both share vocal duties, and sometimes the drummer does vocals.

[Punisher541]

oh ok lol thanks man

[sk8nmetalpsycho]

actually its troy sanders

[Punisher541]

really? are you sure?

[sk8nmetalpsycho]

yes.

[MessiahbolicalGOAT]

Brent does vocals on almost all the songs on Crack the Skye, Colony, Capillarian Crest and Cut you Up With A Linoleum Knife, and I think a couple other songs. Troy is officially their lead vocalist, but Brent does do a lot of their vocals. You can tell in the songs which one is singing usually.

[domainofdoom]

not sure man. just keep in mind that being the vocalist doesnt necessarily mean you're also the front man haha

[metalcorejc]

brent hinds looks intoxicated. Anyway mastodon is my favorite band.

[pakishock91]

love the vocals

[IAmEviaD]

long live mastodon! one of the best metal bands around.

[spanishguido]

i dont know if its the lighting of what....but the cymbals look black

[spanishguido]

favorite song on rockband 2 =[)

[zacisghandi]

they can't sing for shit, but i fucking love it. There so unique and awesome, Blood Mountain is one of the best albums i own

[CreatureCore7]

This is one of the best songs I've heard in a long time. I just can't get enough

[railpoint]

the guitarist has some pretty muddy tone... I'm not a huge fan of Mastodon, but i appreciate that they sound different than all other bands!

mastodon is the best rock band out there! we need this to be on the radio, not nicklecrap and daughtry pussy shit! This is REAL ROCK! WTF!? anyone agree?
