Modest Mouse with Johnny Marr

[Scrap5000]

Johnny Marr fell apart when Morissey said "NO!" to letting Johnny stick it in his pooper...

[abciance]

I feel like its really happy poptimistic and over produced, i miss their raw sound, and they used to have more experimentation, I feel like all their new stuff feels the same.

Kinda all falls apart for me. but its just my opinion

[abciance]

this band went down hill when johnny marr joined, lts not hard to tell that most of modest mouse's new stuff is radio friendly, bubbly and poppy, I like their new stuff, but whats so great about johnny marr? seriously try listening to MMs older stuff and newer and compare..

[Markau102]

@abciance While I do prefer their old stuff, how the fuck is their new stuff "radio friendly, bubbly, and poppy"??? Are we talking about the same band here???

[smoketimer]

@Markau102 abciance must be a huge d bag lol thank you

[scoop2230]

@abciance I agree. Parting of the Sensory is a radio hit.

[mspratz]

And Rio Ferdinand has been found out!!! He's shit!!!

[LoganBridges]

pixies suck they only have like a few good songs every song by modest mouse is unique and amazing

[ElDopadromo]

Ja!!!! ignorant fuck

[mspratz]

As we are all giving 'retro'!!! abuse!! What would you know about (indie music) you are from Bastard Warrington! you haven't got a clue mate! P.S stop talking like a Yank you twat!!! lol

[bradders0707]

so repetitive. The old Modest Mouse would've made this song go somewhere.

[shaolinkin]

Someone should prescribe you some adderall for that ADHD.

[moltasonti]

the only beef i had with this song was, when i bought the cd, the bass drum in it was so fucking loud. and it had nothing to do with the bass in the car. it would just de-maul my ears. but the song is amazing.

[mspratz]

you are such a 'lazy' fat bastard! you couldn't be bothered to type 'be' in front of cause!!! get some music lessons!!!The Pixies were in a different class to these repetetive Boredoms!!

[menliketwilightto]

fuk you fuk pixies modest mouse is the best fukin band u will ever hear u fuk

[mspratz]

You must be the number one fan!! It only took you 'at least' 8 months to catch this!! ha ha!! You Potty mouthed illiterate typically spazzed insular Yank Brat!!! (i bet you can deeply relate to 'Cartman!!!'

[menliketwilightto]

it took solong asshole because this video is hardly heard of and yes im a cussing "potty mouth" and i am also a spaz and cartman is a fat lazy bastad child like you. if u like pixies go and listen to them and stop with bad comments on a good song and stop listening to these "repetetive Boredoms"

[mspratz]

Poor mans 'Pixies'!!!

[irvingcsaltzburg]

You meant to say Smarter mans "Pixies" of course. You know, cause nobody could possibly be that stupid. That was one hell of a typo, bud.

[PlushBlondeBus]

not at all

[N1ckSc0tt]

Johnny Marr is great, but then new album doesn't really show it off :P

[TheFlamingBarrel]

maybe not like the smiths did, granted he had more room in that band too(less instruments). but hell the dashboard riff is a million bucks alone

[eat0the0earth]

Heh, love the story behind Marr joining Modest Mouse. Modest Mouse put out an ad looking for a "Johnny Marr-esque" guitarist, and Johnny Marr showed up. What a cool motherfucker.

[cheaptequila17]

Modest Mouse= Isaac Brock, Eric Judy, and Jeremiah Green. Thats how it should be and always be. PERIOD.

[ElDopadromo]

Do you know Johnny Marr?? He is a Legend

[cheaptequila17]

ElDopadroma,

Of course I know who Marr is! I should have clarified my statement. I know How talented of a guitarist Marr is, but I just think he has too much influence in what Modest Mouse is now. I could be totally wrong, But I liked them when they were smaller, had less structure, less refined, and flat out more insane. I definitely didnt mean that as a insult againt J. Marr. Im a huge Smith's fan.

[ElDopadromo]

Now I understand your comment, no problem

[Shoresee]

I know I mean its JOHNNY FUCKING! MARR!!!!

[tragictravistie]

there were other players on every album except sad sappy sucker i think. are you saying thats the only one you like?

[Shoresee]

uh, what the hell are you talking about.

[tragictravistie]

i was really replying to cheaptequila, and was hoping that it would go in line with the other replies so as not to look out of place. but by the way so what if its FUCKING JOHNNY MARR? not saying that he doesnt do great stuff with modest mouse, but i think its stupid to invite a guy into a band because hes famous. luckily brock wasnt that stupid. he had stylistic reasons for choosing marr.

[expandwhatyousee]

dude fuck all the haters every album is amazing FUCKEN AMAZING they always come out with an original sound and just progress like any amazing band does if a band sounded the same on every fucken album then they obviously dont have imagination!

[Nickmodestmousecraz]

Modest Mouse forever! By the way you people making bad comments are just wasting your time. You'll get overruled by all of the Modest Mouse fans.

[JamieTheMad]

to be honest with you all, its a great song, so any critics out there can fuck off, dont listen to it if you dont like it, and if you've ever been to a modest mouse concert which i'm sure you haven't, you'd realize they're the greatest to emerge from the 90s.

[falsafa]

Jamie, you're 10000000% right!

that's the best band of our time.

[legoflamb504]

one of the greatest bands ever - it's unfortunate they forgot how to write good music though. It all sounds like filler.

Johnny Marr has ruined this band.

[doctawho42]

retard.

[Hunter61192]

i wish i could put more minus things on this guys comment

[SRChrono]

you must not listen to much music...

[legoflamb504]

Shut up asshole this is my favourite band they just keep releasing rubbish now. Just like QOTSA.

[blackflag486]

I agree with you there.. For sure one of the best. As I recall every album that they have cooked up you seem to like it more and more every time you listen to it. Thats what makes Modest Mouse so fantastic, IT NEVER GETS OLD!

[legoflamb504]

Actually I have seen them 3 times and they have got progressively worse with every release since moon and Antarctica. I did like a fair few songs from good news though, but still nothing on lonesome crowded west etc...

[gomarjango]

Oh Lordy lordy..I don't pretend to do better, I'm just saying this sucks..Can you honestly say this sounds good? You must be a fan no matter what...djeez..Marr should have stayed with Moz..then none of this crap would have happened..

[ivegotcandy128]

dumbass, this is a bootleg on a hand held recorder. of course it sounds like shit.

[gomarjango]

Oh well, in THAT case, man, this is AWESOME!!!

Who's the dumbass here?

[blondesally]

poo on your face

[gomarjango]

Well...listen to it..it sounds like a karaoke-guitar session.

[taccun]

dude shut the hell up it sounds great and id like to see u do any better.

[gomarjango]

Johnny! Johnny! Johnny!

What the hell were you thinking??

[James1803]

What does that mean?

[willmer88]

uhm no, it's off of We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank (their newest)

[nofx221984]

holy shit, this is a great performance. Fire it up! Off of Moon and Antartica?

[moltasonti]

lol u tard

[JaReDude85]

i met johnny marr after the mm show i went to....hes a pretty kool guy

[paulbuss]

I had no idea Marr was in MM if I was at the show I would of died seeing him onstage...Im such a die hard Smiths Fan!

[sugarhed]

im probably going to get a lot of 'WTF?' comments by saying this, but I find it really random that johnny marr is in modest mouse- i would have never expected that in any lifetime that he'd join MM, but apparently I read that johnny could have joined Crowded House! ahh gotta luv surprises in the music world

[TheJibs]

that's a fucking huge fender amp

[q89747]

I agree that they deserve success because they have done it honestly. If anything they were truly indie in that they were on Up for years. That doesn't take away from the fact that their music is shit.

[dirtybird21228]

I remember seeing MM back in the day when they used to set up and tear down their own equipment. If any band deserves success its MM. Most bands fall apart in a few years. They have been going strong since 1992.

[Sphho]

JOHNNY MARR!!!

[crowdedwest05]

I WAS THERE

[YeahDogE]

dont question mo mo, smitty is right haha

[smitty5013]

can you gay modest mouse fans stop complaining about how their new cds arnt dark enough, and if the new cds are making them popular then good for MM, so stop complaining that they arnt good, cause good news for people who love bad news didnt go platnium for no reason. and this bull about being signed to a new lable needs to stop, the band decides what their songs sound like, so dont blame their new sound on selling out cause its a load of crap

[fresheggroll]

i like all there stuff, ur right tho, i just hope they never stop making music!! i do like there older stuff better tho.

[myheroash]

Its true. Modest didn't sell out. They didn't change their style to sound like anything thats popular on the radio. They changed into something they created on their own. I love the old music, but the new cd is awesome, too. So, instead of pulling out the sell-out card, just say, you don't like it..because that sellout crap doesn't really apply here.

[culturalDAMAGE]

nicely said.

[Keltigothika]

Please stop debating and just listen to the fucking music.

[Lordisuckswangs]

with the exception of the songs missed the boat and we've got everything, i believe this album is just as "dark" as the moon and antarctica. This is still isaac brock, popular or not. I find songs like parting of the sensory and spitting venom just as random and creative as a wild pack of family dogs or polar opposites. the only difference is one was cleaned up more in a more expensive studio.

[stanlicasso]

indie hipsters? possible. i just hate it when people use wrong words as their neologies. There are only those who support these, which cause them to be the "universal truth," and those who rise against, keeping truth in it's pure form.

sorry, 500 word max.

[stanlicasso]

becoming mainstream does have its effects on bands. after the single float on became oh so famous, the recent album "We Were Dead Before the Ship Sank," although showing a gloomy atmosphere, is nothing close to the darker albums of modest mouse's past, say "The Moon and Anatarctica." disagree? look at Dashboard. replica of Float On, no? don't get me wrong, i love the old and new albums alike.

[stanlicasso]

you taken a misinterpretation, it doesn't matter which label a band is signed to. But when misinterpretations are used to define the truth, while knowing of the fallacy, that is evil at heart.

[JamieTheMad]

at the end of the day, Isaac Brock is a musical genius and whoever he's signed to with Modest Mouse really doesnt make any difference to the fact that they are one of the greatest bands in the world.

[paedrough]

goddamn you "indie hipsters" are so fucking pretentious.

[hisironlung]

this is 11/06, not 05.

[musicfan99999]

"indie" has become a term like "emo".. yes, many bands do try to be "indie" because they're going for a certain audience. so they dress a certain way and make music a certain way, and sure enough, you see them on letterman or leno. there will always be bands exploiting music for money.

[stanlicasso]

smiths - warner. largest music label. ever.

cure - elektra, sire. warner babies.

jesus and mary chain - sub pop. misuse of indie label.

indie does not mean "ambiguous lyrics and sound," that's simply a personal style of playing/singing. indie just simply means "non major label." ANY genre with ANY kinds of lyrics and sounds can be indie. indie hip-hop, electronica, rock, etc. i hope you realize you contradicted yourself about 3 times in that single comment.

[emmerton]

comfortablynumb your are ridiculus.. marr can be very proud to work with modest mouse and made this wonderful album.. man you´ve got no plan.. geh heim und scheiß dein bett voll!!

[comfortablynumbb]

Musical tragedy that Marr is collaborating with these nobodies who try to be Indie but music sucks. Moz and Smiths are true Indie and nobody comes close, Horrific move Marr.

[TheCaptainMarco]

The only reason they are nobodies to you is because the only song you've fucking heard is Dashboard, GTFO. They've been around for a long time, maybe try listening to their older stuff before saying their music sucks, fucking MTV douchebag.

[comfortablynumbb]

It's quite funny to refer to a person that likes the Smiths as a fan of MTV. You clearly don't understand what the Smiths were about so I am glad you like MM and stay with them. Point is it is very disappointing to see what Marr has been demoted to unfortunately

[stanlicasso]

do you know with indie means? "nobodies who try to be indie," you almost made me laugh.

[comfortablynumbb]

Yes i know what indie means, normally it refers to being signed to an underground record label. However, most people have misused this term. Anyway, yes MM try to be indie by having ambiguous lyrics and sound, however, its fake and many people fell for it. Smiths, Cure, Jesus + mary chain, etc, are true indie

[paedrough]

indie is a sound, not a connection to record labels. it used to be that way, but many bands on indie labels end up signing with bigger ones. unfortunately, this is how it is now. it has nothing to do with a band's label. wouldn't you classify the flaming lips as pretty indie? signed to warner. but honestly, who the fuck cares all that much? it's about the music, not the money. and if you contradict that, then you truly are a pinhead.

[stanlicasso]

so due to the misinterpretation from where the average person mistakes the genre of indie with the type of music that normally fall under such genre, we should resort to conformity and destroy a word's true definition to fit that of misinterpretation?

pinhead.

[paedrough]

you make it sound so evil. who cares what label a band is signed to. as long as it doesn't affect the band's music. granted, i feel that modest mouse has been affected by their popularity.

i just don't think that labels matter. at all.

it's about the music, not the record companies. i think that the bands would want us to feel that way. it's never been about anything else than the music, and if you judge a band for selling out yet their still making good music, then yes, you are a pinhead.

[legoflamb504]

Smiths are gay gay gay. Horrible stupid cringe-worthy music. With nerdy gay voice.

Marr has ruined modest mouse - who used to be 1000000x the band the smiths were.

[Reint25]

Marr didn't invite himself.

[ahosek]

Wow - those are two Fender Super Six Reverbs on stage - that's some big ampage!

[imaGizzle]

and u guys are wrong, his guitars a Spectro Glide 12 String from Koll custom guitars.

theres a picture somewhere that shows him picking it out somewhere on their website also.

[imaGizzle]

Hey q89747 FUCK YOU

[raptopp]

sorry but this was a seriously boring song..... gogo Johnny

[XxAhChuxX]

If you feel that way than what is the point for you to watch this vid or post a comment on it? When people post a stupid comment like this one on a band or person they hate, why do you watch it in the first place? It does say Modest Mouse on the top or did you think that was a sat. morning cartoon?

[samg7674]

anyone know what guitar isaac is using?

[a8twenty]

i think it's a danelectro. the vintage, not the reissue. not sure tho but it's the same pickguard

[deathshore]

This is one of the better live Modest Mouse videos on Youtube, and I love this song. Nice video.

[grey08]

hey uhh.... skippified.... i'm pretty sure the "o5" in 11/05... is the 5th... as in the 5th of November.... as in two days before this was posted

[eric02125]

We were dead before the ship sank is a masterpiece there's not one filler on the whole CD...johnny marr=GOD!

[legoflamb504]

All of it is fucking filler! It's bland, not emotive and just a shadow of what a great band they were.

It sounds shit and quirky like arcade fire.

[eric02125]

Sounds like you have your panties in a knot. I'm going to see them again in a week and I hope they play all the "filler" stuff you jackass

[theanthonybros]

does anyone else think We Were Dead Before The Ship Even Sank is the greatest album in...err idk a while?

either way its REALLY AWESOMAZINGLICIOUSNESSOCITY.

my favorite off it is "Fly Trapped In A Jar"

HERE WE GO SON!

[taccun]

We were dead before the ship even sunk was awsome as always. But good news for people who love bad news was good to.

[1940scollage]

he's saying

"Etceteranough"

[sayhitoyourtom]

"Is there enough"

[MattnMikeProductions]

MM is the best band ever!! fire it up fire it up

[emartnj]

hes saying "is there enough?"

[bassist1708]

no, he's saying et ceteranough.

[xredlitex]

et cetera...

[JRandall70130]

Hey Alright I might be GodDamned

[JRandall70130]

Best Band EVER!

[wingedgopher2006]

This is really cool. I can't wait for the new album.

[CodyT3212]

classic shit

[CGMan15]

Can't wait to see them here in Portland. They are my favorite band.

[WintersParadox]

i totally get to see these guys live in sioux falls south dakota on march 18! YAY! GONNA ROCK!

[TastesLikeMint]

sounds GREAT!! =] can't wait either!.

[nickconfidental]

FIRE IT UP!!!

i cant wait for the album!!

[whocaress33]

"Fire It Up"

[suckmyjaggon]

What is the name of this song

[DoctorFist]

I love the smiths and modest mouse - can't wait to hear this album!

[blaze1157]

Just about everything i've heard of theirs is good in my book.

[willlliw]

the album comes out march 20th

[DonTheJeweler]

Isaac Brock is a damn genius, best songwriter of our generation. I can't wait for the new album!

[ButNotTonight]

This song is called Fire it Up.

[carty1234]

their best album is lonesome crowded/ moon over ant

[daburr]

it's the moon and antarctica, twat

[daburr]

artica

[Dude421]

"arctica"

[Jnp351]

agreed

[lidow123]

modest mouse are very fortunate to have gotten with Marr. Just isnt the same without the smiths

[sambrooks86]

Marr got with Modest Mouse... a band don't join one man, one man joins a band.

[Mozzer232]

of course this album is going to be better than good news...they have the best guitarist of the last 25 years in the band now.

[legoflamb504]

That statement is chock full of fail I'm afraid.

Seriously what is it you guys like about the new album? It's just bland.

[Mozzer232]

Look at the date of the post before you comment...

[legoflamb504]

Firstly: What are you on about?

Secondly: Bothered.

[sphu]

This video is very awesome. Saw Modest Mouse friday night in melb and Johnny Marr was brilliant. The gig was ace!

[RoxerFoxer]

This song is goood. I think the album is gonna sound nothing like good news though...

[erspears]

that's probably a good thing. I love Good News, but it's nowhere near as good as their older work.

[legoflamb504]

Yeah and this new stuff is even worse!

[eric02125]

This album is great, every song, I hope they'll be hitting the studio soon for the follow up. Marr and Brock are the best out there right now. If not just to piss off little pukes who cry when a band matures and comes into their own with a hall of fame guitarist!

[hanstemans]

Johnny Marr is god. Can't wait for the album (early 2007)!

[MyDiamondStarCar]

i think will be better than GNFPWLBN

[jontamlive]

Thanks for adding! Can't wait for the new album, but it seems so far away!

[mathfife]

weak work. damn isaac's sobriety to hell.

[sigmund5]

As on Old guy(38) I can say this is a perfect collision or storm. Marr made The Smiths..it wasn't Morrisey-not hard to find a guy like him-tho I think he was good. Electronica was much better than M. solo stuff.

[JVerbeke]

at least you spelled morrissey right, idiots.

[johannesjuanes]

Ups you´re wrong there. Marr and Mozzer made The Smiths but maybe marr was more important coz he was the one who made all the music. Marr is a genious.

[toddoconner]

Whoa....the Smiths were Morrissey and Marr. Period. One couldn't exist without the other.

[lugiface]

i cant wait for the albumm argha

[Zaven55]

I cant wait to see them in SYDNEY!!!! on Jan3rd!!

[willlliw]

anyone know the actual date for the album...cuz originally it was 12/19 but now they're saying early 07.

[watashiwahatchi]

superb song. love everything about it.

[MMkeyboardsucks]

Fucking bomb concert ty for a visual memory;) I was closest to Johnny Mar against the gates

[bucknasty3000]

Oh, hell yeah. This sounds awesome.

[huludicidal]

This album is going to rule.

[nucknards]

Thanks you so much!

This sounds great, I like how it seems like they're making a return to the somewhat subdued sound of Moon and Antarctica, but still changing it around and keeping it fresh with Marr. CAN'T FUCKING WAIT.

[illakk]

YAY

[Qrissy]

YAYYY!!!

[bukowski8]

thanks for posting!
