King Rat - Modest Mouse Live @ Melbourne V-Fest 5/4/08

[Bobman4671]

What king of double bass is that to the right of the guy?!?! I LOVE IT!!

[AndrewtnsX9]

@Bobman4671 I'm pretty sure it's just an electric double bass. But I'm not 100% sure if it's some custom made thing.

[bwoodfilms]

Its a shame marr left the band. Modest mouse is still simply amazing

[TheExpressionist1]

his voice just blows. me. away. i love the chaotic, delusional abandon that the song spirals into toward the end. and the music video truly does it glory.

[TacooGrill]

this mother fucker is nuts!!

[fuzzywalrus82]

Has anyone else noticed that eric plays EVERYTHING? In the videos i've been watching he plays bass, cello, trumpet, keyboard, guitar, a freaking maracca, and on top of all that he sings backup

[mowrt620]

@fuzzywalrus82 I think that's Tom... Eric plays the bass

[iplayrushinrolet]

song is amazing

[Berkbelt]

Fitting place to play this song. Seeing as how Heath Ledger was involved with the song and he was Australian.

[Darwyn7]

@Berkbelt he was involved with the video, not the song

[ryansilke]

Two drummers??

[Plywoodhall]

@ryansilke

ones a drummer and ones a percussionist

[jrcsgtpeppers]

@Plywoodhall same thing

drummars are percussionists

[metal1man15]

@jrcsgtpeppers i think what he meant is one plays the main beat, and the other plays the more decorative parts, in this case i think the tinging sound in the background.

[MrTastytoes]

Saw them do this song live last night at The Orange Peel in NC and you didn't :-P

[MrElectricdude]

still can't belive Johnny Marr was in modest mouse at one point. awesome ass combo!

[UpperCrustthe3rd]

Isaac Brock+Banjo=great song.

[ITTTheKrimsonKing]

SICK!!! ITS AN ELECTRIC BANJO!!!

[aaronmcnello]

@ITTTheKrimsonKing It's not electric. Just a normal banjo with a pickup attached to it.

[Flea817]

Isaac always seems so void of emotion, but in a way that's somehow cool. Like whenever the fans are yelling encouraging things and cheering his facial expression just stays the same.

[ITTTheKrimsonKing]

@Flea817 His music says it all.

[EpiphoneSG95]

@Flea817 I think it's just his extreme focus.

[coldplayrocks17]

Anyone know what kinda banjo he plays ?

[andimhisfriendjesus]

so much for 'I don't like festivals, its too much like a buffet of bands'. Way to keep to your word, Isaac.

[konradharla]

it seems like his voice is changing?

[johnfactorial]

He says at the end he's pretty much losing his voice.

[frkpunx]

crazy motherfuckers

[TylerSmythe]

Watch ANY of their live videos.

its all mostly Improv.

They are the creators of the music, it should go good any way they put it.

not trying to be a dick, i heard it too.

[ITTTheKrimsonKing]

@TylerSmythe Obviously not a fan of classic jazz, or the Grateful Dead, are you?

[TylerSmythe]

@ITTTheKrimsonKing I dont get where your reply is coming from, Modest Mouse is the BEST band ever, I listen to anything BUT mainstream/country/shit like that. People were just complaining that it sounded different than the original & I replied saying that they can make it any way they'd like, and it'd sound amazing. They have the ability to do so.

[ferret12]

@TylerSmythe As much as I love Modest Mouse, I fucking hate you... And I love my Modest Mouse and whatever the musical alchemist Isaac Brock comes up with. I bid you good day

I said GOOD DAY!

[angelface101443]

i saw them

[parrothead1992]

God this is so great. I love the new ep with all of it's trumpet. Is it just me or does education have a little too fast of a tempo when they start it?

[Degradation91]

Lol. Does he say im trying to Bob Dylan my way through this? Long time Favorite band.

[jiblins]

by far my favorite modest mouse song

[menliketwilightto]

i kind of agree its my favorite new song of his

[Dexatron101]

Great B-side, although it should have been on an album :P

[foomother22]

A Banjo...... WELL!

Lov it

[DauntProductions]

AN ELECTRIC BANJO!!! ftw!

[looshkin66]

nope....not electric.

just a plain old banjo with a pickup attached to it.

[gummy52]

weeeeeEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLL

[elevendave34]

holy shit

[lilgreggy07]

this song is beast plus there is a banjo that just makes it more epic

[iamthemanholyshit]

[androo21513]

[whatpeoplermadeof]

[moedanceman21]

[donthurtme117]

i. love. this. song.. best b side of all time imo

[someday49]

I have the vinyl version of this.

[fronczek123]

is this of the ship sank album?

[igotastiffy]

it's a B side to we were dead

[antiskaterfish]

isaac has so many songs and has done so many drugs and alcohol that he usually forgets his lines atleast twice every concert. isaac brock is my favorite person in the world

[WrongHandLane]

He's not proud of it so why are you?

[tofucheeze]

His facial expression when he forgets the lines is priceless though *shifty eyes*

[xjakemarinx]

you know nothing

[antiskaterfish]

everybody knows nothing

[jesse9283]

I saw him play this last december. It was a blast. Everyone was going wild.

[BVisionProductions]

Isaac can freak a banjo

[bradley364]

He doesn't "Freak" it, he has musical sex with it and cums all over everyone's ears.

[BVisionProductions]

Right....that's just creepy man. Just plain creepy.

[KitKad]

he's awesome..

[foreeverhope]

WI STIL LOVE U ISAC
