Modest Mouse - King Rat

[1albagee]

Oh yeah. Scratch your face and take that hat off.

[JNJChaos2]

oh the hats off!

issac means business now

[MelissaMees]

why does it sound so bad live? the chords are all over the place :[ dissapointed

[trollersgonnatroll94]

I heard Isaac Brock playing the banjo, then I jizzed in my pants :0

[assdan27]

I love how modest mouse always changes their songs a little when they play live



[BRT2000]

I am really glad that this video has so little views. 100 000 000 views has videos like Lady Gaga, Avril and this shitty stuff. You really dont want the same people to watch this :)

[jaguar4499]

@BRT2000 Wow what an elitist outlook. I couldn't give a damn who wants to listen to Modest Mouse.

[BRT2000]

@jaguar4499 sorry, I could. You know, theres not much people in my city who know this, but its great when you have something that only you and your friends listen to.... it pretty much looses the spirit, when its you, your friends and well... almost everyone else...

[Bruceifer8]

Isaac intensity is undeniable. No clue why this only has 80,000 views, this song deserves more.

[CannedOxygen1]

such a great video. brock is intense as all hell... hope the new album is a winner.

[scottydonttttttttttt]

county jail is free but its a lot better if somebody is puttin money on your books

[jonman45]

HAHAHA I LOVE THE BANJO OMG,,, I LOVE MODEST MOUSE AHA WHAT A GREAT SONG TOOTOOOOOOOWOOWOOOOO

[EvilDudeoftheDead]

That was just the right amount of insane.

[slayinchilean]

anyone know what kind of hat isaac's wearing?

[jessiforthewin]

issac brock strumbs the banjo of my heart

[brrnay]

crowd fail.

[mrOosamoO]

[xjakemarinx]

@ChocoNillySkateKingz hah okay good.

[Bluexploder]

i know they rushed but honestly...it sounds really cool fast! awesome song!

[Davidbasque15]

I like the end so much. WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF!!!

[Mongoosedog15]

Isaac seems angry.

[Antics79]

@Mongoosedog15 When doesn't he seem angry.

[anomosity101]

damn they did real;y rush on this one, but I realy dont care.

[digitalfreak200]

I fell asleep with this song on and woke up with a beard

[ladyandthegiant]

@digitalfreak200

Me too, and I'm a woman!

[stevieray345]

how many people would say they would want to meet modest mouse if they were on the make a wish foundation as there dying wish?

[spanknrankn]

starting at 3:04 is epic

[joobae]

i like the hat fling at 1:05 hahaha

[zben504]

Isaac looks like Dwight Shrute's cousin Mose now! Awesome.

[Oxfordless]

@zben504 haha so true! 

[msmisha1]

absolutely luv it

[ChrisGnosis]

Great song, definitely the best of the that album...

Great facial hair also.

[digitalfreak200]

4 people are Deaf

[MsRosie05]

Isaac Brock = hot ;)

[m3iscoolerthanyou]

@MsRosie05 ya i would totally do him... no homo though ; )

[bellandeddie]

this video makes me feel pathetic. i need to grow a beard.

[maniaksixone]

bad ass like modest mouse always is, who thel hell disliked this video? i wanna donkey punch em!

[Zkomar]

Awesome.

[gosha26]

Isaac the epic screaming beard man!

Love it!

[Allan1986]

be cool!

i love you guys!

:]

[GravityRides]

This video pretty much sums up why Isaac Brock is the shit.

[iatethenumber7]

how can this have 4 dislikes?

[ThisIsKindaFunny]

Heath Ledger wrote and directed the music video for this very song. Check it out.

[YourFutureFoe]

Brilliant lyrics, and a fantastic beat. This song is all I need.

[viperx68]

I cannot help but smile at 0:17. I didn't see that coming and just his all around movement in that was awesome haha. I think I'm starting to really like these guys more than I already do now. No group like these guys and I like it that way!!!

[joehoracek]

He looks he was off to sea for a good 3 years and came back with a handful of songs to perform for the whole world!!

[emailconfermationftl]

Audio chocolate.

[teh1337guy]

Mommy I'm scared! Make the angry bearded man go away!

[ososessy]

@teh1337guy i loled at that lmao

[thtmusicloser]

MODEST FUCKING MOUSE

[andimhisfriendjesus]

looks like 1997 brock of my dusty childhood

[TheAmazingTmann]

Sounds almost exactly like the music video. Awesome.

[SgtHugoStiglitz]

he's pissed

[Keyes66]

I love it when bands tend to interpret their own songs, each time they play it live.

Like the red hot chili peppers, no song sounds alike when they perfome it live.

I would say its a sign of creativity.

[massivedickweedohyea]

JOHNNY MARR?! why are you here? you are not young. stop pretending you are.

[andimhisfriendjesus]

I agree.

[Hakamoto]

@massivedickweedohyea But he's a damn good guitarist. That's why he's there.

[Ettral]

i love these guys, but they SUCK live

[ChocoNillySkateKingz]

@Ettral you have to remember how hard it is to stand in front hundreds of people and sing so maybe its nervousness. i wont say anythin cuz i cant sing for shit. :(

[insanejames13]

Isaac's hat and beard are awesome.

[NmHman127Nugget]

he hates everyone... most definitely

[Crayzman2297]

@NmHman127Nugget the funny thing is that he really doesn't. If you ever watch interviews with Isaac Brock he is actually a very soft-spoken person. He sings angrily but it's an anger at how bad things happen to good people. His lyrics are often about putting a positive spin on bad situations.

[Confusling]

I love this live version so much, i put it straight on to my ipod and i can't stop listening to it.

[SnoiltheRipper]

I like how the feedback sounds in correlation to the song.

[JosephMBoyer]

OH OH OH OH OH I JUST DONT CARE

FUCK

i feel like screaming this shit out

gives me chills

[1034]

even crooks have to pay the rent...

[Possecore]

hahahahahhaahahah this video is hilarious.

[xjakemarinx]

@Possecore whats so funny dude?

[Possecore]

@xjakemarinx : let me re-word

I found watching isaac perform quite funny in this video, he's doing a sort of bounce dance thing.

[xjakemarinx]

@Possecore lol yeah he's got many subtle dances. check out the jam session where he cuts himself

[5945570]

pretty nice . smooth and jazzy song :P i like taht song :P

[greenassskateboard]

im guessing they played it fast because its a very long song and its pretty repetitive.

[PepperRoni20]

fast? the studio ver so only 3:30

[SaneLunacy]

@PepperRoni20 Actually, the studio version is over five minutes long.

[PepperRoni20]

@SaneLunacy haha ya my bad, i was listening to song in itunes and it was timeleft showing not whole song XD

[jmccee]

WELL!

[krummbo]

this song gives me goosebumps

[dakruo15]

when will they come to europe?

[DirkMandwell]

Favorate song on their new album, who cares if they rushed, they don't have to play it exactly the same as they did on the record, they can do whatever the fuck they want

[brrnay]

@DirkMandwell the song was around before the new album dude.

[mangaman6969]

tight song but they rushed sooo bad...

[ferlongjumpcallum123]

I like the way Isaac throws his hat off at the beggining as if to say "Lets do this shit!!!" and when it gets to the "deep water senseless denial" part he goes apeshit. Great performance great band.

[masterofbass12]

man, i gotta admit, i got into modest mouse through rock band. or at least that's what tied the knot for me. my friend had showed me a couple songs before, but float on? c'mon. not nearly their best song.

[jimmithyiscool]

i totally i think good news was their worst album

[Seriously3000]

@jimmithyiscool Why?

[LightK44]

i like the beard

[Scrap5000]

@LightK44 Ha, you sound like kesha

[TheSkrylove]

@LightK44 i like evertyhing

[Shlumpledink]

i heard he was freebasing windex here

[Lyons194]

like during the performance, or when he wrote the song?

[jo3ym]

what drugs do u think brock was on during the writing and performance of this song?

[wndrw982]

haha not sure but this song is amazing. im always curious of what drugs famous musicians use and what they find as the most inspirational, if anything at all.

[treymcneil]

guy is always hitting the Whip-Its, has admitted to using them often

[jo3ym]

yeah i heard he was once accused of attempted murder bc someone gave him a whippet when he was driving and he crashed and the person broke her thumb.

[Seriously3000]

There is no way he could write during that though

[LSO92]

Yeah, but you couldn't write anything on Whip-Its, and I highly doubt that would a very inspirational drug :D

[IrohDOW]

what about dayman

[smrterthenu]

what about Dramamine?

[hackinracist]

@smrterthenu no man, dramamine is definately the wrong hallucinogen for inspiration, it makes you shit that isnt there (like people that turn into shadows and shit)....lsd or mushrooms unlocks a part of your brain that contains the craziest most inpirational shit you will ever find.

[smrterthenu]

i know about triptamines, shrooms are weak compared to 5-MeO-DMT tho

[NmHman127Nugget]

@hackinracist Omg guys sooooo funny I think that shit peranantly fucks up the limbic sytem and inflames glands or something about infection

and the trip is far too much. It's as though everything you would normally think comes through after it happens. Like you physically slow and almost feel like you could loose a fight with yourself if you tried to stand up. Its like being cocked and on some type of long lasting salvia that basically makes you seizure a few hours later. Not for me

[andrew11235]

on dramamine you basically dream while awake... your hallucinations are indistinguishable from reality. the one time i did it, i actually had a conversation with my friend, who then disappeared, and i realized she was never there...

[SpecialFester]

@andrew11235 Ya i know what you mean. I took a bottle of Dramamine in high school the night my girlfriend broke up with me. It was one of the worst nights of my life!

Ugggh! Never do Dramamine, it is NOT a recreational drug.

[mocachinomacdaddy]

@SpecialFester lmaoooo i drank a bottle of dramamine once... wasn't so bad.... just plug up the headphones lol

[mulliganstew72]

Nice! I like that.

[peacebone92]

Don't think any really, maybe alcohol.

[jo3ym]

what guitar hero had modest mouse, i must purchase this

[CHEMICALZERO31]

yeah, i think its stupid as well because then they only get to hear one song and not all the styles by the band. but he can get them more fans though

[PCXVII]

Ironically, I got into Modest Mouse through Xbox as well, though not a game. I was surfing the old xbox live market place back when it first opened up, and Dashboard was a free music video download. I immediately went and bought the We Were Dead album and before I knew it I had all their albums and EPs...

[MrBallenger926]

It seems for me that float on dragged me in on Rockband and as i listened to them more and more, i liked what they had done. and the more i listened to some of the latest stuff, I began to fall in love with older albums which CANNOT get beat by anything.

[BEnnyQzhu]

DUDE i see it!! I finally see isaac's vision in bringing marr on... this is to date one of the first songs i remember seeing where marr's playing completely compliments the bands musical sentiment .... well done guys!!!!!!! gGo MM!!!!!!!!!!!

[DopeCoozie2]

WELL!!

[messen012]

i loved these guys before they got on guitar hero and all these fags think there so awsome over float on which is a good song but not even close to this

[CKnoxW]

I can't make that same statement, but I can say I loved Float On when I first heard the single in like 2004. But I totally agree with you, I hate people that only love songs because of Guitar Hero

[biohazard791]

You know,I relate to you in saying that people find out about good songs through Guitar Hero and Rock Band because I hate them.

[rikisaltacorp]

actually

[dgyoungs]

True that. I slap those kids when I meet them.

[kartoffelsaek]

Awesome..

[TylerSmythe]

where would the world be if Isaac Brock wasn't ever born?

It'd be one scary scary place.

:)

[DauntProductions]

i'd say about 1% of the population knows who Isaac Brock is.

[TylerSmythe]

And it should stay that way.

Fuck mainstream music.

[thenaturalfl7]

much less

[DauntProductions]

oh well excuse me

[DopeCoozie2]

thruth be told, i prefer it that way

[DauntProductions]

HAHA! well you're obviously the first one to read my comment who likes the truth, looks like everyone else here hates me for saying the truth, trying to kill my comment... XD

[ImDaFox]

unfortunately true.

[SublimeSystem]

Yeah, most just know modest mouse from guitar hero. I got into them cause of my dad. He's liked them since their second album, and always played them around the house. Then all these fags come around cause they liked float on. Float on doesn't even sound like much of their other stuff anyway.

[slipandbleed]

yeah, first song i heard was little motel and i loved it. so i looked into them. and now i HATE lil fags who say the love modest mouse cause they play float on in rock band. so i just show them "this devil's workday" and they piss off :)

[dudesons441]

Float On is a good song. It's what got me listening to mouse. I got into MM when Good News came out. Just be glad that people are discovering good music.

[clickclong]

Amazing.

Stoners Rule!

[Double0Panda]

He's got the crazy in his eyes at 3:51!

[5945570]

getting better and better. always having the same sound show after show and album after album XD :D

[paddywannabanjo]

i love the way everyone's multi-instrumental :)

[looshkin66]

fucking amazing!!!

M.M. just get better and better, they can do no wrong in my book

[clickclong]

electric banjo, what!?!?!?!?!

[SinkUtahSink]

it's not an electric banjo. it's an acoustic banjo with a pickup..

[HalfPuertoRican]

Don't ruin the illusion sir.

[limes14]

This is the best live version of king rat I've ever seen.

[masterpimpshinchan]

Danny Elfman would be proud to see his bastard children doing so well.....sniffle....

Much better than that other loser son of his: young Kirt. What a waste, indeed...

[Voodoocide]

I saw them at the aragon (Chi town) a couple of weeks ago. they opened with king rat, fucking amazing performance.

amazing live

[flipwits2]

Except way too many stoners around...

They were epic playing though.

[TheBrooksK]

Ha wow that is a great song

[gittarherogod]

How many guys do u know who can legitimately rock with a banjo?

[KlajjDarquen]

Isaac. Or was that a rhetorical question? Don't answer that.

[carrythezerobts]

Watch Scott Avett ;)

[drodenbar]

bela fleck

[SlinkyMushrooms]

I know 3!!!! This is probably a rhetorical question though.

[fattyfattyx]

i think the singer (whatever his name is) had trouble keeping up with the tempo maybe its just me

[burningled]

No, he just likes to sing a little off the tempo -- Listen to his Letterman performance of Satin in a Coffin, he likes to do it deliberately.

[romantheimp]

epic beard

[buddbasset]

so awesome! same feel to dashboard for me:) took me awhile to appreciate like dashboard. the BEST!!

[nicktube333]

everytime i hear deep water to what do you have to say for yourself i get chills all around my back, I wish i could sing with such a raw voice, its kinda sad you can`t here him over all the music

[wwjoeyd]

yes, I cant agree any more with you

I yell that shit out whenever I can haha

DEEP WATER!

give me chills haha

[nicktube333]

lol also when he`s like"I WENT DOOWWNN LIKE A RAG DOLL" wow,i think they used a program a bit on that one tho

[rocktoonist4567]

the music video is messed up, song definantly better third or fourth time

[wwjoeyd]

isaac looks so much better with facial hair!

[vanessasjealous]

i prefer him without

[BambinoBig]

Such raw filthy singing, love it man.

[menliketwilightto]

brocks really on his shit here he came on that stage and started rockin it he was on his agame definitley

[guitarheroaddict2]

this is not as great as their past work but i guess it needs getting used to this song!

[af7ersh0ck]

aug 21st in montreal man - these guys are great

[jippiwin]

this isnt the 19st?

[Partynesster]

oh my god! SEPT 1!! SALT LAKE! stoked shitless.!

[Mousehead1707]

Brock is just so Raw! Keep on Rockin that shit!

[MarauderNo5]

Mind you, Brock is rocking out /on a banjo/.

[havoknuk]

3:20 Brock is fucking intense.

[downsouthninja]

heath ledger makes a video on his deathbed....8.4.9 check it out

[DowhatyouwantAbe]

I love this.

[mungebob95]

thank god hes takes the hat off

[menliketwilightto]

is it me or is issac stoned off his ass? he always dpoes live his live preformances are his best to lolz.

[xraistlininblackx]

The look on his face kind of reminds me of the stare me/other people I have seen seem to have when using diphenhydramine.

[GuidotheKillerPie]

Considering that he stays away from drugs and that getting stoned TOTALLY makes you energetic enough to do this song, yeah hes stoned off his ass
