Mastodon - Crystal Skull & Colony Of Birchmen (Live)

[SlipknotPaul1237]

I dont know bout u guys but I enjoy Mastodons vocals

[Killerrayzz]

why is their singing so fucking awful here? i love mastodon so much, but if this is how they are live then i regret my ticket purchase for this november

[MatuellaSlipknot]

@Killerrayzz AWFUL LIVE? what the hell are you talking about, have you ever saw a metal band live?!

[Killerrayzz]

@MatuellaSlipknot I have seen many live shows, but the singing is just.......not good, at least not good for crystal skull.

[TheDJJorgy]

@Killerrayzz Brent Hinds (the guitarist with the Gibson V) usually does some weird stuff with his vocals live. It's really pretty common for him but it's usually only when he does screaming type vocals. When he actually sings, he still sings pretty well. And the fact that he uses drugs heavily may have something to with it as well.

[beserker1912]

@Killerrayzz Brent had a throat infection, so his screaming doesnt sound like that anymore, and keep in mind that the album was still pretty much brand new, so they have to get settled in with playing it live. Like Oblivion, most early performances were weak when compared to the most recent ones.

[kenakuma]

@Killerrayzz

They seem to sing like this on most of their live videos unfortunately, at least the ones I've seen.

However I've seen them live twice and never noticed their vocals much because of how fucking loud and heavy they are so I wouldn't be to worried.

[Skaternick911]

If there's one band to carry the metal torch I think it's Mastodon. Hopefully they'll go on tour for The Hunter studio album. I'm going to see them.

[max1122ism]

Brent's singing on Colony of birchmen is insanely awesome:P

[lilsteven05]

Brann Dailor is the MAN....

[MrTheRevsOffspring]

Bill is the only guy who can wear a button down shirt to play a heavy metal show, and make it look sick

[felixvc]

I love listening to mastodons albums, but their live singing is horrific

tight as hell though

[MrTheRevsOffspring]

@felixvc it really is dude, but i kinda like it....idk why. its got a strange satisfying essence to it

[hitlermustache]

Birchmen proves that Brent can actually sing without sounding like he's passing a kidney stone, why doesn't he do that all the time?

[gotmatt77]

@hitlermustache He had some throat fuckin thing then so he sucked but i bet you heard him off crack the skye he is better now

[max1122ism]

@hitlermustache

Brent's singing is pretty great on colony of birchmen.

and your right,it would be awesome to hear him sing like that on every concert.

[DaChunk4333]

I call hemmorhoid at 2:22

[Thronsohn]

i bought this cd last week. its so heavily compressed that the solo at the end is a total distorted mess. its a fucking shame! why do good bands let this happen to their music? especially when it is done so much better on the vinyl-issues???

[xGoneHuntiNx51]

WTF is brent doing at 2:22!!!??

[Thanos700]

but with a beard

[Thanos700]

one of these dudes on guitar looks like Will Farrel from SNL

[lolzim8888]

yeah home party :)

[JimTrivial]

I want Troy's voice so badly, most badass vocals known to man

[19Drummerdude96]

Randy Rhoads drum kit. :D

[Rock69Addict]

nyaaahh!! LMFAO Brent is the man

[MyMissingHalf]

"check out My Missing Half on facebook, listen to our tunes and give us some feedback, appreciate it guys."

[zackypooofillinois]

[chrislarimer555]

@1:28 he's looking at the band like "wtf why is everything so fast"

[bradMdrums]

[eldouchy1]

YOU FAGS

[se7s95]

Best band of the past decade...

[molarslb]

dont get me wrong, i love mastodon but they ALWAYS fuck up the vocals live

[Pashanator]

@molarslb I kinda agree, I think they are absolutely amazing but their vocals seem to be a bit under par live. Which is really a shame.

[fender42069]

@molarslb not always they have improved alot now

[ussm19]

I'm not sure why, but at 2:44 Brent reminds me of the munchkin from the lollipop guild, anyone with me on that?

[disciple33]

haha they played cystal skull at a seious pace!!

[Jxj666]

Nice to see the crowd started to come alive during the epic build up to the solo.

[PANDEMI2010]

Can't hear the solo... Just a fuckin mess

[45IFRAG69JAPAN79]

This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

[islesband]

5:35 Clearly does not know the words.

[disciple33]

@islesband

i was expecting it to be brent for some strange reason, but at least the guy was ginger! close enough! lol

[hampulator]

gotta love the randy rhodes drums!!

[jajamon214]

what ive always like about these guys is there music is so unpredictable, i mean there is a such an original flow that keeps the ear, man these guys are the shitt

[scooch666]

That's the sickest shit ever!!!

[haircutbob2]

I love how Brann comes out and plays in gym shorts and a T-shirt. It makes him even more epic.

[nicomoore16]

Scary Leprachaun @ 0:40

[Rurik200217]

I swear god i missed the like button and clicked in the dislike button instead, i'm sorry :'(

[MjmanDK]

[punkrocer13666]

[paypalexchange]

2:15 to 3:06 rules! Mastodon brings it live every time!

[Gehirnlutscher]

[kevinmm20]

@StockingsTube Brent

[monalisasmilesforyou]

Mastodon kicks major ass. They're so epic.

[MeetTheCryptid]

Long live Mastodon \m/

[MeetTheCryptid]

[yago823]

[z50CALz]

[jajamon214]

Brenn is freakin tank, nough said

[monalisasmilesforyou]

Mastodon lives up to their name. Their music is as powerful as the mythical ancient beast they're named after.

[MastodonBC]

@monalisasmilesforyou Mastodon's aren't mythical creatures. They are an extinct species. I would know.

[CarnageRulez469]

@MastodonBC lol Irony.

[gazuul]

Man, the preformance on Colony of Birchmen is fking awesome! Mastodon = TRUE FKING ART, TRUE FKING MUSIC! Please, C'thulu come as Lovecraft has foretold - bring doom and oblivion upon hippies and jb...

[predben]

[grahamzandah]

@predben Yup. Brann loves him

[thefatcody]

@predben yup brenn is obsessed with him because he was born the day randy died. he thinks he lives on though him XD pretty cool actually

[MatthewThornton89]

@xGoneHuntiNx51 lol not even close

[mrkrinkle699]

@xGoneHuntiNx51 Brann is from my Hometown Rochester NY!

[thundermorphine]

@xGoneHuntiNx51

Clearly has never heard of Tomas Haake of Meshuggah.

[ThrashJazzAssassin77]

@thundermorphine Clearly has never listened to Romain Goulon of Necrophagist, Marco Minnemann of Necrophagist, Hannes Grossman of Necrophagist, or Nick Pierce of Eterna Nocturna.

[KrossPoison1]

@thundermorphine Clearly never heard of Neil Peart. End of.

[74jailbreaker]

@KrossPoison1 I feel badd 4 u.

[KrossPoison1]

@74jailbreaker I feel bad for your grammar...

[74jailbreaker]

[KrossPoison1]

@74jailbreaker Lmfao, I didn't even do anything. Chill out you typical internet hard man xD

[74jailbreaker]

@KrossPoison1 sry its all the drugs, and there's too many pricks online these dayz. but seriously tho, i feel bad for u that you never heard of Neil Peart!!

[247randomshit]

@thundermorphine true

[DudeOfManyNames]

@thundermorphine Fuck yeah Tomas Haake is out of this world, although I do love Brann especially some of the stuff off Remission is insane

[ultraviolence6655321]

@thundermorphine Apples and oranges dude.

[SCREAM4VEGENCE]

@ENOCHwithaGLOCK thats good that he is getting better, I hope for the best for him.

[ENOCHwithaGLOCK]

@SCREAM4VEGENCE me to man. i love mastodon and all the members are cool

[SCREAM4VEGENCE]

@ENOCHwithaGLOCK Me too. I don't care how people make fun of all of them their my favorite metal band in todays music.

[jamesrocks4eva]

Colony of Birchmen. What a tune!

[SCREAM4VEGENCE]

poor bret, he has a throat infection and he crying and playing at the same time like the bad ass mother fucker should. AMEN!

[tassidar86]

I couldnt hear brent solos very well, oh well. these guys are the best.

[ShroomSamich]

brent looks like he is about to cry at 1:28

[SCREAM4VEGENCE]

@ShroomSamich OMG lol

[munkee93]

brent always looks like he's trying to shit a turkey...

[ShroomSamich]

im sweating from watching this

[Metallicastillrules]

6:35

mastodon's getting into battle formation

6:50

World domination

[cfhdomination]

Saw these guys at Mayhem Festival in Albuquerque a few years back and they kicked ass. As far as musicianship goes, they blew everyone out of the water. I've always been a huge fan so they were the one band I was looking forward to the most, but the crowd was dead during their performance. Bastards. These guys are best suited for smaller venues though.

[Kaffekopable]

SKUUUOUOUOOOOOUUUOOOLL!!!

[hellraiser7874]

Saw these dudes open up for Clutch in Little Rock at a fucking bar w/ about 100 invalids. This was about 5 0r 6 years ago and Ive had to put off my reconstructive surgery because my FUCKING FACE IS STILL SLIDING OFF OF MY SKULL!!!

[FinderofNemo]

Did troy fuck up with the lyrics in the first verse?

[TheOMGbeandip]

Crowd is taking a fucking nap -.-

[sXeSnowmansXe]

Anybody else notice that the Marshall logos on Brent's amps are taped over?

[chinostaley]

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BEARDS!!!

*EPIC BEARDS = EPIC MASTODON*

[fredrand123]

1:42 YAHHH

[jvs512000]

Rip the fucking stage apart and burn the place down... absolutely nothing can top Colony of Birchmen!

[300daysandnights]

josh homme must have been taken a serious dump when the song was playing cause you don't miss out on a big crowd like that.

[Commiteee]

Does anyone know if there is a reason behind the drummers drumset why it's polka dotted? Is it maybe a tribute to Randy Rhoads by any chance? Or does he just like polka dots

[EveryonePickedMyName]

@Commiteee yeah its a tribute to randy. if you look at the bass drum its a picture of randy. i thinks its because he was born the day randy died, something like that

[Ferrero1990]

@Commiteee It's a tribute to randy because brann has born in the day that randy died and it's polka dot because one of (or maybe the most famous) guitars of randy was black with white dots.

[abi999]

@Commiteee yea it is, his birthday is dany rhoads deathdate

[z50CALz]

he actully did good for colony of birchmen MASTODON IS FUCKIN AWESOME

[DarkWolfStudio]

Colony Of Birchmen has one of my favorite riffs ever

[NLeon7Jezosuki]

Dude, the drumming in Colony of Birchman is beeeeeeast!

[lifebayne]

19 people can suck a DICK

[DEVIL555666]

@lifebayne a black dick!

[300daysandnights]

@lifebayne those people got their minds blown so bad that they accidentally hit the dislike button.

[n1gh7cr4wl]

Lol i directly skipped to 3:29

The song starts at 3:30

Omg I am god,

not really

[chaosnewterer]

@n1gh7cr4wl no, you probably are. don't sell yourself short like that.

[antonioantonio160493]

@smoovekiddrza .-.

[SpartanCarver]

LION SLICERRRRRR

[JesseCavalli]

Something tells me they sound bad live as far as singing goes because there high. lol i dont wanna assume anything though

[TheBrady77]

The guitars are unfortunately out of tune here.

[drumsfouraliving]

They are Super Sayans of metal

[Rokitfingers]

Brent looks like he's in physical pain while he's playing.

[SpartanCarver]

@Rokitfingers Apparently he had some sort of throat infection during this show.

[1more4carhur]

crystal skull is one of those songs that if was to do it, it would be the song to head bang my head into a wall as i'm listening.

[JoaoVeludo]

miiiauuuuu... he said.

[Thompaam]

at 2:46 Brent's like "My heads gonna explode! and then he starts headbanging :D

[anticashmoneyrecords]

i met this band once when they made their debut album i met the bassist the drummer and one of the guitar players they are soo nice and down to earth but i forgot to get their autograths

[BulletFrenzy543]

2:22 FUCK YEA BRENT who says that skull cant be said like SKKKOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!­!!!!!! \m/

[MrDemo7]

level 128

[exavier091]

got some horrible news guys! Bill Kelliher has been officially diagnosed with Pancreatitis ='(

they had to cancel their europe tour this summer because of it.

man i pray to god he gets better, plz!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SCREAM4VEGENCE]

Me too, I so wish bill could get better. I heard on wiki that it was because of his heavy drinking.

[ENOCHwithaGLOCK]

@SCREAM4VEGENCE i already heard that he's playd live since then so he is getting better i assume.

[Yeahhhh444]

@exavier091 Don't worry, the mullet and handlebar mustache are far too powerful to let Bill stay sick. Really though, he's had pancreatitus before I believe and he beat it only to make Crack The Skye...No big deal(yes it is). However after he beats this he'll have to cut down on the drinking seriously. All you have to do is look at the guy and you can tell he's a man that loves his brew. MASTODON RULES.

[exavier091]

@Yeahhhh444 yeah definatey (about bill's love for alcohol lol). oh shit that sucks. i mean if they lose bill..... that would suck. mastodon have stated billions of times about their composing process (how no one person just takes over). replacing bill would be possible... but the music of mastodon wouldn't be the SAME AT ALL!!!! (like in a bad way too )

[husky14bear]

@exavier091 i saw them 2 months ago with alice in chains

[931912]

@exavier091 Dude There is no god When we Talk about Mastodon....

[Jtmoney363636]

@exavier091 I will do the same..... Pancreatic cancer is one of the most deadly and hardest to overcome forms of cancer....

[predben]

@Jtmoney363636 pancreatitis =/= pancreatic cancer, it was provoked by excessive drinking, hes fine now

[Jtmoney363636]

@predben Great! Somebody said it was cancer so I just assumed they were correct. Thanks for correcting me.

[MICKGROHL]

You can't even hear the solos :(

[helmsters93]

huge crowd.. and they all got rocked

[chaserx13]

What happond at 2:55-2:58?

[SuperGendra]

[BloodlustNemesis]

[bobsters34]

[HeavyRiff9]

[KingdomHeartsFan63]

These guys were so amazing live. I saw them yesterday in new jersey with baroness, valient thor, and Between the bured and me. That was the fucking best concert ever!!!!!!!!

[cul8erinnovator]

[Memberotto]

[bolyea5]
