Grew up outside seattle.went to my 1st modest mouse show in 1999.maybe 75 people there.And even then Isaac was an awesome musician.he has had such a wide range of styles to his music over the years.And that is what makes them truely great.Issac alone is a show by himself.Hate on them all you want.That just means that i wont have to see you stupid haters at there shows.They are not 1 of those bands that is gonna pump out 5 albums that all sound the same like this crap now-a-days.M.M. for ever
@giraffepimp Are you kidding? Modest Mouse live used to be a gamble of a drunken mess of shit, or an amazing performance like this. He finally realized that people payed to see a show, not a drunken mess, and now tries to perform normally.
if issac had said "hello boys and girls, this next song is about a whale. no! it's a song about being happy, it's the happy happy joy joy song." and played the intro to the happy happy joy joy song i wold have died laughing
@TrajektorieLogik Eh, I always considered M&A to be part of the old Modest Mouse. I guess it depends on whether you think of new as major label or as indie pop. I see it as the latter.
Well, I do prefer the older Modest Mouse stuff to the newer stuff. Albums like Building Nothing out of Something (which is a rarities album nonethless), Interstate 8 and The Lonesome Crowded West absolutely blow me away. There is definitely a difference in their newer sound from their older sound. I just think it was them evolving, though. I don't hate their newer stuff, I listen to it still, and I don't complain. I just, overall, prefer many of their older albums. It doesn't make me arrogant.
@MassHero Nah it doens't make you arrogant, they definitely were at their very best back in the 90's, but I think they're such a good band that even when they change it up they still can make some pretty great music. That being said, We Were Dead had a lot of pretty weak songs on it haha but I pretty much love all of their other albums.
Don't you hate when people say "OLD MODEST MOUSE IS BETTER, NEW MODEST MOUSE IS GAY AND I LIKE OLD BLA BLA BLA....." I mean yeah it's their opinion and all but fuck, ANY modest mouse is good to me and when I discover an old song... it's new to me. So people stop dividing the band into two when it's just simply MODEST MOUSE.
@hbwcrackwhore So nice to hear, the first song i heard from Modest Mouse was Float On since it was a radio hit. But years later I bought Long Drive and loved it then I bought all their CD's alternating from old to new each time so i listened to old and new in a row and it is all just simply wonderful Modest Mouse music. They can do no wrong
@JcGrubbsFilms I agree they can do no wrong and yeah Float on was the first song I heard too but then I quickly discovered The Moon and Antarctica, The Lonesome Crowded West(favorite) Long drive it's all just wonderful music. You should definitely listen to the songs "Head South" and "Edit the Sad Parts" by Modest mouse if you haven't already heard 'em... amazing instrumentals.. and vocals of course.
@hbwcrackwhore Y'know what's funny about that? There's two types of Modest Mouse fans; Us types who think everything Modest Mouse makes is godly, and there's those that only like the older stuff.
I have yet to find one Modest Mouse fan who only likes the new stuff and bashes on the old stuff.
@NeptuneMS385 actually i prefer the newer stuff. could be the quality of the old records being a bit of a turnoff, but good news and we were dead were both phenomenal albums all around. i didnt think as albums, the older shit was as good. see? now you've found someone :)
@TheSpoonRooster Is it bad that I kinda like the bad quality sounding ones that were never released, like Nothing New...? 'Cuz that kinda pulls me in..
@hbwcrackwhore meh, it's good when they express their opinions in a way that doesn't claim a part of them yo be gay beyond their own personal opinion. I personally do think old modest mouse is much better, but i'm not going to dislike their newer stuff because it's new, because alot of it is actually still really good. Ocean breathes salty, for example, is an awesome song.
Sorry to nitpick at a superb performance of a modern masterpiece, but does anyone else wish the guitars and drums were just a little higher in the mix? Not much, maybe 15% louder. The bass is nice and clear, however, which I totally dig on; usually when I see a live band the bass turns to unrecognizable mush.
i just saw this song live LAST NIGHT in kc. it was amazing. prolly my favorite song of the whole set. soooo much energy. modest mouse killed it. definately going to have to go see them again.
how the fuck can issac brock do it?? my friends dont really like modest mouse they're not really into this kinda grungy, punky sad sappy sucker music, but yet they will always tell me they're very catchy, alot of people think they're really catchy who dont listen to them and thats saying alot. all that means to me is isaac brock instead of being flashy and trying to get his guitar laid, lays down licks he feels through himself and his band, and it is HIS band. ever see them live??? DO IT
Radiohead pisse me off. I don't know why, they make good songs, and work really hard at what they do. Just don't like it. Fuck. Pisses me off because most mm fans like radiohead so they are all "wtf is wrong with you? dont like radiohead wtf" and i'm all "go fuck yourself. Don't tell me what I should like" and whatnot. Idk
@Synd465 Yeah a lot of people say Radiohead is like a bummer. I happen to like that type of music but it's understandable that other people don't. If I'm hanging out with people Mouse is my number one choice for music. Radiohead isn't fun to listen to with people. Like at all haha

@nomorenames6393 it looks like there's something on the guitar where he presses his palm near the bottom of the strings and stretches the strings giving a whammy effect. I do know his guitar is custom and he can do some crazy shit with it
@vyzhayt oh i see it, it is like a lip so instead of a whammy he just has a little metal lip on it that he can push with his palm, damn that is so cool
i'm not sure but i guess he does a lot of bending and he uses the whammy pedal..look at him at 4.18. before that moment he's moving around doing bending but after that he gets his foot on his pedalboard and that's when you can hear something very similar to the whammy pedal
Eric might not be the greast bassist around. But, one hell of a bassit. Love is up strokes to make it sound alot better. If MM gets a new bassist A) wont be as good. (B) might not even listen to them again
isaac plays his crazy guitar in his own catergory. ive never heard anyone do it like he does. look what shredding did to the awful music of the eighties. its not about chops. its his wonderful style and songwriting that are what need to be discussed. not what yngvie tunes he cant play. come on now
it isnt the technical difficulty of his music that makes him underrated. It is that he has developed a great, unique style of playing that isnt heard many other places. To learn a modest mouse song may be easy, to write one is not.
i dunno pretty much everyone knows hes no jimmy page, and that's just an analogy. don't come back and say that's not his type of music. he's a fucking genious and modest mouse is amazing love their older stuff way better with the exception of this song though. anyways isacc brock = great songwriter, average guitarist.
im glad hes underrated, i dont (every mm fan or ugly casanova fan) want him on the radio, exploited by douchy fucking dj's and soldier boy lovers or even worse, "reality loving" mtv dicks
I hear ya. kinda got pissed of at Dillinger Escape Plan. They got 2 of their songs from the new album on a few tv shows. I havent listen to the stuff with the new lead singer cause of that
if they did that bye bye. Might listen to them. but not buy albums. This to me is a pretty big show for MM. but if they play with Lady GuyGuy i'd might consider them sell outs. dillenger escape plan is on my list to almost quit listening to cause 2 of their songs have been played on tv shows
oh man i saw them play this song in salt lake in september... it was amazing! the way they did it was 12 times more amazing then the album version. i always think about it...
FInally, a decent live Modest Mouse video. Thank you to whoever posted this. I love this song (probably my 2nd favorite behind Spitting Venom) and the new album. I can't believe anyone can not like their new album (this song, Satellite Skin, and King Rat).
thom yorke does. MM and Radiohead are my favorite bands. This is my favorite Mouse song in a long time by the way. Possibly back before The Moon & Antarctica. Possibly my favorite ever. It's amazing how he can turn a few notes into something like this. For me the tone of this song is like anxiety and desperation all in one. I feel like I've had this song in my head for my whole life and now I can finally listen to it. Not to be overly dramatic or anything.
Thank you for writing a novel, joking. i know how you feel i feel like this song touches me deeply for some reason the bends and everything have real emotion in them. its so beautiful
Is it just me or does Tom Peloso look a lot like Toby from the Office? And are the members of Modest Mouse extremely difficult to keep straight?

Brock is a savage beast.
and a completely underrated guitarist.

hahahh, love modest mouse but no way is brock underrated. its a cool riff but not complicated, no mm songs are.

it isnt the technical difficulty of his music that makes him underrated. It is that he has developed a great, unique style of playing that isnt heard many other places. To learn a modest mouse song may be easy, to write one is not.
jmccee 2 years ago
no doubt he's a songwriting genius. but as far as his guitar skills go i think he's unamiously pegged.

unamiously pegged?
sorry man, I legitimately don't know what you mean.
jmccee 2 years ago
i dunno pretty much everyone knows hes no jimmy page, and that's just an analogy. don't come back and say that's not his type of music. he's a fucking genious and modest mouse is amazing love their older stuff way better with the exception of this song though. anyways isacc brock = great songwriter, average guitarist.

im glad hes underrated, i dont (every mm fan or ugly casanova fan) want him on the radio, exploited by douchy fucking dj's and soldier boy lovers or even worse, "reality loving" mtv dicks

I hear ya. kinda got pissed of at Dillinger Escape Plan. They got 2 of their songs from the new album on a few tv shows. I havent listen to the stuff with the new lead singer cause of that

I mean, imagine a world where Modest Mouse would tour with Lady Gaga.....makes my head hurt.
ThatGasMaskGuy 2 years ago 3
if they did that bye bye. Might listen to them. but not buy albums. This to me is a pretty big show for MM. but if they play with Lady GuyGuy i'd might consider them sell outs. dillenger escape plan is on my list to almost quit listening to cause 2 of their songs have been played on tv shows

MM is one of very few bands that deserve to be famous. They came a LONG way. After all of these years their music is still good.

FInally, a decent live Modest Mouse video. Thank you to whoever posted this. I love this song (probably my 2nd favorite behind Spitting Venom) and the new album. I can't believe anyone can not like their new album (this song, Satellite Skin, and King Rat).

thom yorke does. MM and Radiohead are my favorite bands. This is my favorite Mouse song in a long time by the way. Possibly back before The Moon & Antarctica. Possibly my favorite ever. It's amazing how he can turn a few notes into something like this. For me the tone of this song is like anxiety and desperation all in one. I feel like I've had this song in my head for my whole life and now I can finally listen to it. Not to be overly dramatic or anything.
