This video's comments:

HURR DURR YOR UPIONIONS SUXXORZ U NEEDZORS 2 HAV SAEM TASTE AS ME HERRPS A DURRP.

I listen to anything Metal and Rock, from Alt. Rock to ska to reggae to punk to heavy metal to nu metal to metalcore to screamo and even a bit of Emo. Always expanding my small library of bands and songs. I love this song as much as i Love A7X and Lamb of God.

[vampress143]

one of my favs

[MrModernCODGuy22]

this song is trippy man

[Lucenablues]

KILLER!!!

ALL THE BEST!!

[Thyclaine]

Hell yeah, Ruby Falls.

[jaggermeister]

I look up Mastodon. I get Warner Bros Records. I get a Ron Paul ad. 

Just sayin.

[anonymouswillnotstop]

@jaggermeister Nothing wrong with the latter, but when it interferes with Mastodon? Well, that's a different story.

[120cker]

I rape a tree after listen to this song >:[

[TobyNorman777]

Mastodon is the shit!

[BumbleLet]

It looks strange, becouse they couldnt sign it without Homme...

[120cker]

EPIC video

[kushasaures]

This band is fucking awesome, and I don't even like a lot of metal. What is this? This sound! Its, It's, It's AMAZING!

[Caboose727]

@kushasaures Some call it Sludge Metal, some call it Stoner Metal, or Prog. I love metal, but the beautiful thing about Mastodon is "if you don't like Metal you will probably love Mastodon"

[willeyg666]

@Caboose727 My theory is more like "if you don't like metal you'll like at least 4 tracks from Opeth" haha

[halo4life090]

@willeyg666 o.o

[TheHatesutube]

@kushasaures The sound is the sound of the universe when the cosmos breaths its infinite intricacies into your soul and for a moment are at one with finite creation and vast wonders.

[summerstrumming]

Can Someone tell mister eight18 to go fuck himself?? Brent and Bill would rip you apart and Brann and Trevor would eat whats left. nd btw nobody who's watching these videos are emo believe me

[emperor262626]

You need to kill yourself with a dictionary

[eight18]

lol this is what whie people listen to? no wonder you all come and post racist shit on black and latino videos, your music is fukin boring and stupid i wouldnt want to stay here and listen to anymore of this shit either, you emo fuks need to kill yourselves alredy

[BoySamusMetroid]

@eight18 Calm down, everyone has different tastes in music. I'm white and I find this boring as well.

[JobForaBlackDahlia]

@eight18 so you find a black dude talking *not singing* about fucking sluts more entertaining than these wonderfully talented musicians? you sir, can get bent.

[eight18]

@JobForaBlackDahlia how about a latino dude spitting poetry about the corrupt political system and philospical questions about life?, you motherfukers need to stop basing all of rap on the bullshit you hear on the radio, thats like me basing metal off of my chemical romance, its fuking stupid

[micius]

@eight18 You're starting to sound reasonable, my friend, unlike your previous comment. Besides, one can love all kinds of music, not just one genre. And yes, mainstream rap sucks balls nowadays.

[JobForaBlackDahlia]

@eight18 ok good point. i listen to Sweatshop Union and they rap about politics and stuff similar to that. but you dont need to fucking just watch this video to say thats it's boring or 'gay'... and My Chemical Romance isnt metal in any way, shape or form.

[The23Claws]

*cough* A7Xsucks *cough*

[SomeHelpfulGamers]

Who ever said this isn't Christmas music?

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

These guys think they're prog, but they're just gay.

[bartholemeww]

@MIKEPEARTNOY don't like it, walk out

[MIKEPEARTNOY]

@bartholemeww

How does one "walk out" of YouTube?

[ALANIZMASTODON]

@MIKEPEARTNOY By fucking off

[DenisTheMetalHead]

1:32 break out into a fucking headbang

[flashfire264]

best song ever about a giant tree warrior

[flashfire264]

@flashfire264 according to saints row 2 anyway

[ModernBrutality666]

@flashfire264 this song was mentioned in saints row 2?

[flashfire264]

@ModernBrutality666 yeah man, on the metal radio station, Krunch 106.66, they also have Redneck by Lamb of God, Resurection by Chimera, Bat Country by Avenged Sevenfold,

[GuitarHeroCrysis]

@flashfire264 Ressurection - Chimaira <3 and of course Redneck, coz its my ringtone :P

[seanmitchell88]

this band is absolutely amazing. they take metal to a new level of creativity, quality, and atmosphere. these guys are THE best.

[flyboy4012]

I just realized the actual length of the song on the album is 4:20.

Coincidence? I think not. ;)

[Metalehiro]

Josh Homme and Mastodon!!! que mas se puede pedir

[ThePROproject]

LION SLICER!!!!

[d4tr00p3r]

i love getting yelled at a store manager after trying to adopt a birchmen. ITS NOT A FUCKING PRANK CALL IM FOR REAL.

[MlKEPORNTOY]

Too.... much.... retro-ironic shallowness... must.... listen... to good music.

[Stevieg18liv]

What the fuck the fuck is kibra and cameo lover doing besides a metal video.Probably at the wrong place at the wrong time.FUCK IT

[MrJimbobmcgee]

I used to hunt for Ogres and Dwarves... Then I took an arrow to the knee

[TractorTheBassist]

2:04 what's the name of that microphone?

[JoRdOguitarman1]

I like Mastodon and A7X, just sayin

[pocat6]

@JoRdOguitarman1 - too bad A7X sucks

[JoRdOguitarman1]

@pocat6 that's your own opinion

[whysoserious1331]

A7X suck dont even compare them it would be one thing if they stayed true to the sound when mushroomhead found them but u may as well call em emo as much as they cry

[DerNiedertraechtig]

@whysoserious1331 You can keep your opinion of a band but get the facts straight, Avenged Sevenfold held to what they wanted. What you call "untrue to the sound" is actually how they had originally planned it. Now I can understand your conflict as this band is entirely different, but at-least get the facts straight if your going to talk about a band.

[WeaslyBDopefull1]

@DerNiedertraechtig fuck avenged sevenfold horrible, cant wait til they are forgotton and work at hot topic.

[machstarfox]

@whysoserious1331 gtfo A7x is amazing.

[SMWhit3out]

@machstarfox nope



[whysoserious1331]

@machstarfox theyre fine not the worst thing the radio ever played out. whatever gtfo means, guess if i had nothin better to do with my life id know.

[Milliamz]

LION SLICEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER!!!!



[JoshTAnderson36]

Greatest metal band since the 80s. Hands down. Dammit I love these bearded bastards (and Brann!).

[SalientBen]

avenged sevenfold are fucking terrible, try hard, wannabee's

[Milliamz]

@SalientBen Avenged sevenfold worry about what they look like too much but these guy clearly don't give a fuck and they pull it off pretty well

[1990gargiulo]

i think mastodon sniff threes like curl of the burl video before recording "the hunter" new album form me is a delusion

[mmmikeyxx]

insane. live. 

[jlafloe619]

Remember kids: HUNT FOR OGRES AND DWARVES!

[SuperWowzer12]

SAINTS ROW AND ROCK BAND DAM!!!

[carlingaish]

fucking epic!!!

[necromantiic]

this video is exactly what shrooms feel like...

[BrunoGTAquateen]

josh homme sings at the chorus <3 too bad he's not in the video too

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

it makes me want to kill myself that avenged sevenfold is in the suggestions...

[TheBunnyKnowsBest]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 thats a good thing you prick

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

@TheBunnyKnowsBest pffft A7X are just a bunch of hipster scene kids with fancy hair cuts and major record contracts for ridiculous sums of money. They are not real music and they stand for everything Metal and Punk are against

[TheBunnyKnowsBest]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 so basically your calling a7x a bunch of sellouts, after what they been through your fucking ridiculing them. Your a pussy hiding behind a computor screen talking shit about one of the best bands to ever walk this planet, go suck your mums titty pussy...

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

@TheBunnyKnowsBest i would have no problem with saying it to their face. I am not a pussy, it was over a year ago that their drummer died. I have had best friends who have died right in front of me, that is no reason for someone not to dislike me or insult me....

[TheBunnyKnowsBest]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 theres no reason for you to insult a7x either you prick

[xxxdeadmunkxxx]

@TheBunnyKnowsBest so ure insulting his mother while defending a band who doesnt even know of your existence ??? and while the guy gives his opinion .... ?? i dunno how the convo started but i definately know where this shudnt go .... u should be comparing riffs and lyrical matter and stuff cmon chill out ...

[TheBunnyKnowsBest]

@xxxdeadmunkxxx tell the other guy that, this started because he was 'offended' that a7x were in the suggestions, tell him to compare riffs lyrical matter...

[vrba79]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 I love a7x, mastodon, canibal corpse, suicide silence and all other kinds of metal and i think people shouldnt insult other metal bands. They are all good in their way so its stupid fighting over one genre of music

[xxxdeadmunkxxx]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 Hey bro the best way to judge a band it by their creative expression their riffs lyrical matter videos and stuff ... i told the other guy not to throw insults lets just compare .. who comes to youtube for arguments ?? life has enough shit to throw .. lets make our time here a time to enhance rather than destroying braincells ... stay true both of ya .. to metal .. \m/

[MrR3mix3r]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 not to be an ass xD but A7X is actually a great band with alot of talent and quite alot of emotion in it. they are not emo and they are metal(like it or not) but they are not as great as Mastadon duuh. 1 more thing i actually agree with you that metal and punk are against scene bitchez (so am i) i call them Fake metal .. aka : Womanizers with no talent but puffs like 1 gallon of make-up on their faces

[DB73093]

@MrR3mix3r a7x is emo as fuck. They will always be a pussy metal band in my eyes.

[Inpatientsnake]

@DB73093 there not emo at all. first off dont give metal bands stupid labels like that there metal.

[garrett34dylan]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 a7x is amazing there 10x better than mastodon but i will admit mastodon has really improved over the years

[a7xfanboylolololol]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 And you think that's true because?? Haha

[mrdaigle87]

@ArseLoad0fMetal666 i like a7x and this, idc about labels i care about what sounds good

[Shaydy6969]

I jam to this shit allll the time. I love this song!

[Snortemup]

I didn't like Mastodon the fist time I heard them but damn this is a fucking beast of a song.

[trip1295]

I think the "lion slicer" is the same thing as the "Bladecatcher." Just a thought.

[karatasuka]

240 people worry too much about what the heck a lion slicer is :P

[TheProudBoston]

mastodon seems to have done some acid in there day... 

[XxYamiHiroshixX]

0:55 Black Sabbath Paranoid :O

[TheLastbAaron]

@XxYamiHiroshixX what metal band ISNT inspired by black sabbath? to say this song sounds anything like paranoid is just silly

[XxYamiHiroshixX]

@TheLastbAaron

eh??? look the colors of the guy in the 0:55 and look the paranoid cover, im not talking about the song, the song its awesome \m/

[TheLastbAaron]

@XxYamiHiroshixX Ahh, I guess when you put it that way... but still kind of reaching for the comparison. But yeah I see where you're coming from.

[Inpatientsnake]

9.30 CLUBBBB !!

[edwin20096]

they are fucking amazing when baking

[StrongHeart13]

@edwin20096 Isn't anything HAhahaha

[MrEbrahim92]

i guess there are 240 ogres and dwarves

[a7xfoREVer981]

@MrEbrahim92 Nahh, they're just mad because they aren't lion slicers :/

[MrEbrahim92]

@a7xfoREVer981 either way lol they have bad taste in music

[a7xfoREVer981]

The dislike bar is like a ninja... you can't see it but you know it's there.

[CruzxXstaticXx]

isnt this album about the change from human to werewolf?

[stakleni00]

Mastodon are a fckng great band!

[jbak12]

...why is Michelle Branch a suggested video?

[aleg12]

this video just gave me an iron tusk

[TheJacob1131]

We need 239 condoms and a time machine

[DryBoneValley]

@TheJacob1131 That's probably the most creative cliché comment on youtube. Gj, man.

[ChefBoyardoom]

@TheJacob1131 244 now, you want anything else while im at wal mart?

[grthst1623]

@ChefBoyardoom Get the day after pill just in case...and get me a fn loin cloth....I'm listening to Mastodon.

[kazenokize2]

@TheJacob1131 according to edwin20096 we do not need 244 condoms, we need pot.

[TheJacob1131]

@kazenokize2 lol XD

[Coachblue2000]

This was the 1st song I ever heard from this band! Seen them twice b4 they got big and met them great guys and one kick ass band! Look at them now!

[SinSchism]

@Coachblue2000 Only one issue: This song is the one that made them "big" in the sense that they won awards for it.

This album dropped in 2006. They've been around since '99.

[ConorSomerz]

Zia Regimes cover of this song is awesome. I love Mastodon so much, the Hunter is a great album

[Celanism]

1:19 <3

[Parobalic]

the artwork they did at the point of the guitar solo emphasized it so much ive never really seen any artist do what they did with this video, mastodon aint my favorite metal band or anything but they are definitely one of the most creative and like you said pickleyodeler just one huge acid trip lol

[malachymac95]

. ive been listening to mastodon for ages, but i never noticed how awesome this song was until it was described as 'whalecore' in SR 2. fuckin love mastodon

(dont think i heard of this song just because of saints row, but it brought it to my attention)

[malachymac95]

curl of the burl much?

[dmandude12345]

@malachymac95 What? The songs are completely different. How could you say that?

[malachymac95]

@dmandude12345 i cant even remember why i said that, it was probably the video...

[malachymac95]

@dmandude12345 oh yeah all of the trees and shit...

[Pickleyodeler]

this is the most metal acid trip ever

[47issues]

i just had a Beardgasm

[MuzzyWarrior]

im goin to see them at voodoo fest this saturday

[jzigoris]

@sk8rt33 That is the first act custom shop brent hinds signature offset horns double cutaway with a bigsby b5 tremolo i believe that is one of a kind

[saltythebear]

Point of Interest:

The backing vocals in the chorus without Troy's part are sung by the other members of the band, lead by Queens of the Stone Age frontman, Josh Homme (though he is not in the video)

[sk8rt33]

what kind of guitar is brent playing?? its awesome!

[Opethvince]

I love their sound. I just can't stand their singer in most songs (This song is a exception).

I'd probably listen to them if not for him.

He's cool tho.

[WhammySammy]

This song is mint when you're stoned

[PairInstabilityType]

[Beardwick]

[DangerousDevon]

@Beardwick

Haha, I laughed at that one when I look my first look at the lead singer. I will forever laugh at that now everytime I listen to this song.

[SlowAnimation]

[kagaingas]

@combatwombat95 Really? you think?.. i don't get your point, this is more like trip metal? xDD

[MrJuurian]

God damn I love Mastodon. Their hooks are monster \m/
