Coheed and Cambria- Mother May I (Live)

[StopRunningKid]

D --> Damn, I know this was when they were having problems, but I would've still given my left nut to see this live. They never play it and I'm always so sad they don't. Two more shows though if they continue the Neverender tour for each album.

[iAppleMUSIC]

I wonder if its hot inside Claudio's hair...

[gonjagoonss]

@iAppleMUSIC i wonder if claudio is behind claudio's hair

[Thejaycefish]

Wow this was a sad time for Coheed and Cambria. But as always, epic peformance :)

[iboneic13]

@Thejaycefish The Performance even seems a little down. It was not the same without Mic and Josh, but they did a great job making the best out of a shitty situation

[BottledMusic]

"Hello everybody we are Coheed and Cambria for those unfamiliar with this band

Are you guy's having a good time so far? I mean, I know it's real early

I'm happy, this is a nice package...

no pun intended "

[Prologue2113]

For whoever it was that asked, that guy drumming was Eppard's tech guy. This was around the time of losing Josh and Mic, I'm thinking... So, yeah.

[x666slipknot]

beast shirt

[DeanEtc]

Claudio is a furry beast

[GoodOrion2113]

where the fuck is Mic Todd???

[iboneic13]

@GoodOrion2113 This is when the band had some troubles and Mic had left to go to rehab. Sad sad times :(. It was a poor replacement too, but it was the best they could do at that point I guess.

[MaskedLunitic94378]

haha did anybody notice the bird sitting there at the beginning? xD

[Scewter321]

Mic is shit. Penny is a beast.

[HimMa14]

@Scewter321 mic is shit? are you serious?

[nunrgtrance2]

Wow. I like Matt Williams! Best temp drummer EVAR! lol

No really tho the guy NAILED it, and learning the set in less than a week that's just absurd... absurdly awesome. I also liked how he was singing the lyrics and his expression while doing so. It seemed like he really digs the heed at full value and was really into it. Or else he was just doing it for stage presence. Either way, totally awesome, I give that dude MAX props.

[mrbaileysays]

Who the hell is that drummer?? That guy is fucking NAILING IT! SPOT ON! And this comment is coming from a guy that usually HATES temporary players.

[mistersamza]

@mrbaileysays: you're the first person in over a year to say that. Thank you.

[TheSSTBlade]

@mrbaileysays

the drummer is the guy who taught eppard ^^

John Bonham's son ;D

[iaintnofish]

for real, that guy is fucking sick

[japhyryder1205]

@mrbaileysays he's the drum tech btw

[pladman007]

@mrbaileysays he is their drum tech, he had to fill in on some shows after josh left and before chris joined.... he sure is nailing it. agreed

[windexfighter77]

@mrbaileysays

If I'm not mistaken, I believe he was the drum tech for Josh and he filled in for a few shows before they picked up Chris.

[LipGlossMan]

Michael Petrak

[Golem29]

@mrbaileysays Quite a lot of your average band's crew are failed musicians, a lot of them are probably more technically gifted than the band themselves.

[zwind999]

is that drinky crow in the background?? nice

[ExcitingP1GM4N]

Breaking news!!! Claudio Sanchez appears on Deal or no deal!!!

[nunrgtrance2]

@ExcitingP1GM4N LMFAO! nice. 

[leiakw]

i like....

[dicklane86]

i saw coheed at the warped in july of '07 and penne was with them then

[mambaKB24mvp]

they for damn sure evolved

[Jameswade2k]

3:02 Travis's face:(

[FOFT15]

HAHAHAH at 00:30 you cant even see his face! HAHAHA

[Chazeene13]

It was really nice of Howie Mandel to fill in as a drummer for this show.

[ExcitingP1GM4N]

@Chazeene13 is it actually howie? I was thinking it looked a lot like him but i wasn't sure

[Chazeene13]

@ExcitingP1GM4N No, it's not. I was kidding. But it does look a lot like him.

[8195229]

I think this was the time where they almost split.

WOULD OF SHEAD SOME HARD TEARS IF THEY DID. LOL

but really i would of cried

[monaleesha]

cousin it...anyone?

[rafaelegiovanni]

i don't know if this question was already asked or answered cuz i didn't look through the comments, but who are the drummer and bassist? are they the techs or something?

[echelon4400]

the drummer is chris pennie and the bassist im not sure.

[rafaelegiovanni]

see, that's what i thought at first, but i'm about 99 % positive that isn't chris. it looks like him with the bald head, but i know chris pennie's face, and that's not his. besides, i bought the neverender dvd, and chris doesn't try to sing any sort of back up at all, so i'm pretty sure that's not him... but if i remember correctly, i found out that the bassist is originally from the band He Is Legend, but i don't remember his name.

[jafardude007]

It's Josh's drum tech. This was before Chris was hired and after Josh left. They thought, "hey he's the drum tech, he should know all the songs" and that was that

[dapajaman]

@rafaelegiovanni

yup the drummer is obviously not chris P.. he's the drum tech. you should know that chris P. was hired around 08 or something... and mr drum tech was hired right after josh leave.

[drumsfouraliving]

Yeah not Chris' friend Josh Eppard's

[himura1saito2]

the drummer in this video is NOT chris pennie. its their drum tech, MP and the bassist is named matt something from the band he is legend. Chris Pennis didnt even come into play until early 08....retard.

[xphoenixdownx]

honestly, i thought nate kelly was the best coheed drummer, and chris pennie is a lot more like nate than josh was, but i liked josh. there's really no use in arguing about it, what's done is done.

[XJunesongXProvisionX]

I know that josh is a good drummer, he gave us sstb iksose3 and IV, but chris pennie is good too. Mother superior and all the tracks on NWFT I love. And chris didn't drum in NWFT record, but he wrote the drumlines. Taylor hawkins performed them

[rapsucks9000]

so give them the story they want

[gavinistheshiz]

really shows it takes the whole band to get the full effect

[awstinagony]

incredible musicians.

[jackedasangelnman]

i remember being really disappointed when i first saw this video cos its a soulless performance and kinda sucks by coheeds standards...

...but then i read up/watched the neverender documentary and understood, given their predicament this is a triumph. long live the heed

[snookion899]

what happened?

[WalrusWarrior08]

Josh Eppard was having trouble with drugs and couldn't go on with Coheed. Mike just kind of left but eventually he came back (thank god) So they got there drum tech and a new bassist to do this show.

[drumsfouraliving]

Also he couldn't deal with touring all the time. At least thats what he says in the Neverender documentary

[MultiBrian777]

I wish I had Claudios hair!

[XJunesongXProvisionX]

actually, in my previous comment I stated that "Mic came back for good". But that is sad man. Josh was a good drummer. I'm sad he chose that lifestyle. But CHRIS PENNIE IS DA SHIT NOW BABY WOOOO. hahaha. COheed owns

[ProfessorAtom]

@XJunesongXProvisionX

d00d, josh IS a fucking amazing drummer, and chris is just a really good studio drummer.

no world for tomorrow had the worst drums, withen previous coheed standards.

[supplyfilms]

yeah agree totally, josh has a very special style that fitted coheed perfectly

[XJunesongXProvisionX]

In response to JaimeHammet, Yes, Josh chose an ILLEGAL and DESTRUCTIVE lifestyle over the band. He got addicted to heroine, as well as Mic Todd, and Mic turned into an asshole, and Josh started having panic attacks on stage while he was playing, so he quit, did heroine for another year, then supposedly stopped. Chris Pennis came in...and rocked your face. Mic is a total badass.

[yousurnaym]

You left out Mic getting clean and rejoining the band after settling some bs. Josh Eppard actually had a huge panic attack for the European tour, he called his manager an hour before leaving saying he couldn't go because there were demons crawling up his stairs and he couldn't get down his stairs. Sad stuff.

[XXmeX]

you wrote Chris Pennis... hahahaha.

[JaimeHammett]

What about the bassman? Who is he?

[italianpride17]

Hop off Claudios dick.

Hes a genuis, and you guys are just hating.

Coheed for life <333

[XJunesongXProvisionX]

This is when Mic and Josh quit the band. They both came back...Mic stayed for good, but josh quit again,for the final time. Thats when Chris Pennie came in from The Dillinger Escape Plan. Chris' foot pedal abilites far exceed Josh's, and he does cleaner Syncapated Beats,and dosn't make as many mistakes as Josh. I can understand the peoples connection wit Josh, cause he was in the first 2 albums, maybe Apollo, but you gotta let it go. They guy chose a criminal, destructive lifestyle over friends.

[JaimeHammett]

What Happened to Josh? Criminal?

You seems to know very much about coheeds history.

Tell us more please.

[acrb01]

is that Dale Earnhardt Jr. playing the bass...that guy does everything!

[MultiBrian777]

Hey that D.J in the vid (:

[C0N0RRRRR]

>>0:27

Cousin it is eating the mic.

[shrimp99991]

the hair is hilarious

[prigeonman]

Man I like Josh Eppards groove and style but I also enjoy Pennies technical skill. Im at a crossroad I love both drummers

[Tannerislegend]

pennie is freaking good though. have you seen the final cut live from Neverender? he goes on a like 20 minute solo and then they play a 3 song medley.

i think pennie has a lot of skill, but eppard really is at the heart of coheed and cambria

[JeffreyMcCord]

Josh is and always will be Coheed's drummer in my eyes.

[himura1saito2]

@prigeonman you realize this isnt pennie right?

[xSLIPdrummerKNOTx]

wat songs does the bassist scream in cause i went and saw them never seen them before but i heard him scream in a couple songs so can anybody pppllllzzzzzz be nice enough and tell me????

[xphoenixdownx]

junesong provision is one.

[sovereignsjust]

0:27

[jackedasangelnman]

no josh and no mic makes me sad

then mic returns but pennie arrives

i want you back josh

[tendonsnap]

Is that a small guy or a monster of a bass? lol

[Newsted]

It's a proper BTB, yeah, it's a beast!

[ServeTheBeaver]

wow, claude doesn't have a face

[snoopyz5]

lol u just see his hair moving

[lazypete666]

LOL He looks like the uncle in the Adams Family

[ServeTheBeaver]

cousin itt rofl

[ServeTheBeaver]

yeah, I agree with lazypete666 lmao

[ethanw420]

chris pennie is amazing. watch his solo at the end of the neverender final cut hes a freakk :p

[Utheused4]

Yeah. He has like a 10 minute solo while Mic Todd has like 30 seconds.

[silkyhands914]

they shouldve left the drum tech in the band until josh got better. but whatever. pennie is good.

[marcandrethe]

pennie is amazing u mean

[peaveybassist13]

right-handed drummers suck.

[cbtalk216]

lol... wtf?

[bloknumfazm]

how so?

[angelo1593]

i guess he meant it in a way like "right handed drummers suck only lefties are good like josh" he meant somthing like that i guess.

[peaveybassist13]

i cant get over how shitty this sounds just because josh and mic are gone. that just proves that they make coheed.

[zero9sketchy]

it's live idiot

[cheezhunter]

Lol, Claudio's hair is singing...

[CoandCaSSTB]

i swear to god they just grabbed a kid out of the audience and showed him what notes to play on bass to follow the chords. No stage presence

[peaveybassist13]

exactally.

mic is god.

[mistersamza]

Give the guy a break he's not a member of the band and was just filling in. It's hard enough to learn somebody else's music in less than a week and play it in at LOLAPALOOZA then you think.

His name is Matt Williams by the way

[KrystenLucas]

woohoo! singing hair! haha.

this song is one of my favourites!

[dbrageagainst]

shit claudio and travis were both sick and they didnt have josh or mic and they still sound pretty good

[peaveybassist13]

agreed. mic makes this song.

this drummer completely fucked josh's part sideways too.

[xphoenixdownx]

mesas are freakin amazing

[radicalbiscuits]

so run little children, play. i'll leave the light on, to turn your mother off.

this is my favorite song by them, ever. i love claudio. ♥

[JBanDG3123]

haha first time ive heard this song but i love it... y the hell doesnt he just wear a mask? lol

[Rockabilly500]

does claudio switch up the chords at the begginning when they're playing this live? doesnt sound like the album

[xphoenixdownx]

he's got a crunchier tone in this, the album version has it clean.

[Rockabilly500]

I see. Grrr I want his tone so frickin' bad! But I can't afford all the shit he has -.-

[xXxSeanAndApolloxXx]

his pedal board is big as fuck.

[texazranger04]

it is but hes said he doesnt use much effects at all. occasionally just to mess around or for some solos to make things interesting.

[kasinecz]

claudio's vocals suck in this video. you can tell he's lost his emotion when Mic and josh "left" the band. it's a good thing he found it when Mic came back and josh was replaced.

[KornSOAD]

Actually Claudio and Travis were both sick during this show.

[JaquesEtLoic]

What do you mean?... how sick?... loll half the band and they where sick..... it'S a good show anyway:P

[monkeyballs125]

0:27 through 0:39 is hilarious haha

[GunnerRecall33]

This is probably a lame question, but does anyone know what Claudio's shirt is called or where I could get one? It's quite badass.

[peaveybassist13]

dude...claudios not so errogant as to get a tattoo of himself...c'mon now.

[b65sh]

Awesome song, can only it imagine what it would sound like in a stadium.

Oh, and the drummer looks like Chris Cornell with no hair.

[glockmock2]

THATS MY GUITAR haha YAY COHEED

[Rockabilly500]

4:28 claudio jr.

[nemesisnight08]

LOL! awesome song btw. :)

[loganenorris]

so why is there a Drinky Crow doll on the amp...and why does Claudio have a tattoo of him on his arm? does he just like the show or what, lol?

[GodsentHellraiser]

A tattoo of himself? No... He has a tattoo of a Chainsaw going into his arm and a dragonfly and an IV...

[loganenorris]

not of himself...i know about the chainsaw/lady, the dragonfly, and the roman numerals...but he has a tattoo above the dragonfly of "Drinky Crow" with a bottle of alcohol in his (Drinky Crow's) mouth. the same thing in the background at the very begining of the video

[GodsentHellraiser]

Oh! I totally read that wrong! xD

Isn't the Drinky Crow on Travis' amp head, though?

[loganenorris]

i dont know...i guess that is travis' amp head...maybe they both like Drinky Crow...Claudio more so than Travis' since it is tattooed on his arm, lol

[nemesisnight08]

I'm pretty sure they both have it on their arms. I think I've seen travis with it too

[Zebrahead519]

yeah purple is right but the drummer now is chris who has a last name i cant remember but it think it starts with a p

[texazranger04]

chris pennie and hes fuckin nuts, insane skill and technicality and im a bassist.... other bassist know how hard it is to compliment drummers haha

[peaveybassist13]

josh is better.

but nevermind...im sick of that argument.

and if ur a bassist than u know that mic's bass part made this song kik-ass and that this bassist cant even measure up. can i get an A-FUKKIN-MEN?!?! (it would be greatly appreciated)

[texazranger04]

ur rite about this guy, he doesnt make the song stand out like it normally would..hes definately not a bad bassist, he just doesnt have any emotion in his basslines and his tone kinda blows

[TarekWriter]

amen

[Drsirney2113]

AMEN

[chris1088]

The bassist is gash.

There is only one Mic Todd.

This guy should be shot.

[SassySakara]

be nice he tryed iight coheed 4ever ♥

[xXxSeanAndApolloxXx]

poor mic. he was going through rehab during this.

[Moby104105]

Christ he looks like a wilda beast lol....

Probly my favorite song they do

[jessejames1616]

I love how there's a mic just going into an afro XD

[Rockabilly500]

god how does claudio get that godly tone on his guitar?

[blcklabel92]

legit equipment

[mc2drums]

i cant hear the drummer's vocals. they shouldve turned him up just a bit more.

[tmassaro]

its obviously a lot different during this time period with matt williams on bass and whoever that is who filled on on drums during this time, but either way its awesome to see a live performance of this song

[purplecwagon]

The drummer is Josh's old Drum tech. I forget his name. You can see him on the Hammerstien dvd during "A Favor House Atlantic". He runs on stage, holds the crash for Josh, and runs off. I think it's during house atlantic...

[Darkestrose99]

love this song but cant see his face!!!!

[bacatit]

Thinking about Claudio getting sick or a soar throat makes me wanna kill kittens.

[h4r4]

Which is impossible, when they've had a long time to practice/rest for Neverender.

[gravultratarist]

you are!

[Gunjak99]

Love this song now. Underated.

[SuperGuy344]

I luv how Claudio gets the crowd so involved with the show, and how he lets the crowd sing parts of the song

[tPaisteuser]

every good band does that. Stop listening to just coheed.

[Xymox321]

he had the best hair in lolapalooza 06

[drdlink]

Who the hell are this drummer and this bass player??? O_o Where were the original ones?

[LastRowKid]

Drum Tech and session bassist I do believe

[YearOfThePhawkes]

Claudio could be a stunt double for Cousin It.

[kiwimuncher]

also as jesus =]

[allmotorg2]

Great band,can't wait for coheed and cambria live,nov 5th @ the avalon.-_-

[flag9900]

QUOTE. man you REALLY need to listen to more music-the is nowhere near the best band-or even one of the top bands, there have been no good bands that have come out since like '01 when t.v. on the radio came on the scene-NONE, they are all copies of each other, no contrast or originality./QOUTE dude you obviously need to think about what you say. you talk about being original try not insulting a band on youtube if you wanna be original,( i dont really like them ethier )

[agent8604]

man you REALLY need to listen to more music-the is nowhere near the best band-or even one of the top bands, there have been no good bands that have come out since like '01 when t.v. on the radio came on the scene-NONE, they are all copies of each other, no contrast or originality.have a good one guys

[wowitsjoel]

no one cares what you think, leave your opinions to yourself. If you don't think Coheed has any originality you have downs. Have a good one guy.

[ImABicycle333]

coheed started in '01 so get some of that!

[TarekWriter]

Well, Coheed and Cambria started then, but what about Shabutie? Claudio, Travis, and Mic have been rocking together for a long time.

[Wycett]

this song is AMA-ZA-ZING.

this is the best band ever. :)

claudio is amazing and so is hair.

and taylors perdormance was also fantastic. x]

[Amazingred12]

wow you cant even see claudios face Lol

He such a good guitarist

[JoshKilgannon]

one of there greatest under rated songs along with the likes of VC:I Faint of Hearts, Crossing the Frame, and others of the sort in my opinion.

[Aven2008]

wow...those are all of my favorites ;D

[JoshKilgannon]

they're all great songs some of the best like i said.

[Jameswade2k]

Crossing the frame, not so much- I like it, but there's not as much going on in there songwise.

Story wise, yes- Backend of Forever's gotta be my fave.

[JoshKilgannon]

most people tend to say that, but I can most def. understand your point of view, I forgot to mention Apollo I: The Writing Writer, probably my fav of of GA:1 FTTEOM.

but Coheed will always be the greatest band in the world to me!

and I"m Fuckin' stoked for Neverender and the prequal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Jameswade2k]

Yeah Apollo I is definately one of my faves.

[ibossUnot]

omg that hair monster ate his head lol

this is a great song

[konfusion425]

i too am a drummer, but i just have to say that it's a damn shame thats not josh in this video.

[taylorswiftisawesome]

awesome they kicks ass

[PennStGuy]

Heh... I thought MP and Matt Williams were pretty good.

[jebr1983]

technically pennie is better than eppard but eppard has amazing feel that pennie in my opinion does. Listen to eppards beats they make the music sound very fresh. if you listen to no world for tomorrow it sounds very 80s!

[xXxFatalErrorxXx]

Agreed. Eppard's drumming just has that "feel" to it.

[Jameswade2k]

It sounds 80's but blame Taylor Hawkins as he drummed on the album, not Pennie.

I'm looking forward to seeing what he brings to the prequel which we can expect to see "In a year or so".

[AwalkingModification]

damn cladios hair so so huge!
