Colony of Birchmen *Full*

[Matrixkool99]

The singers voice is digusting

[GrungeBouke]

@Matrixkool99 Get back to the fucking pop hole you came from.

[THEBLACKMETALJESUS]

Where the hell is Bill?

[hetfield4president]

Is this the performance after which Brent got into a fist-fight with Shavo Odadjian and ended up in the hospital?

[thenextchicken]

@hetfield4president

Yes, it is

[idontyq]

Those girls are trying to dance to the music lol

[CromequazN7]

Great performance by Mastodon but shitty crowd.

[896748rhjbasgjjgankl]

wait wait wait.

Josh Homme and Brann Dailor arent the same person?

[spiros11386]

meh, you dont have to headbang to appreciate what's going on, i personally prefer just watching the band in awe, i mean come on, it's fucking mastodon with josh homme, i wanna see that! i'll headbang at a bar when the song comes on lol

[InuSama95]

What the front row of this performance says to me: "Man,.... I wish Mastodon played at my senior prom. -_-;;"

[jasomayo]

I see one headbanging chick in the front.

[RideTheSmurfFTW]

the audience = poopnugget

[deanosaurousrex27]

the audience is so retarded you can't dance to Mastodon you pilage weak villages to mastodon

[eeky97]

hey it Tim Tebo...that guy does EVERYTHING!!!!

[Langtw]

I love how they make this look like the worlds coolest house party.

[TaffyRaphie]

and then he played guitar for make it wit chu with Cee-lo Green.

what an eclectic night for Josh Homme

[TheKidGizmo]

really crappy mic levels. i can't hear that brilliant growl of troy's

[Kreuger]

@TheKidGizmo This is the 3rd live video Ive seen of this song. it seems to be a common problem with them. Maybe it's intentional?

[spiros11386]

@TheKidGizmo yeah and also the chorus (gone away my heart's gone away) sounds really shitty in all honesty, in this video...something tells me the technicians pulled the same shit they always do, which is not giving a fuck and just waiting for the night to end so they can go listen to house music

[Raro404]

Josh Homme, Mastodon and Brent wearing a High on Fire shirt. This video just reached manly critical mass!

[purgatorybabyisGO]

What the fuck is going on with two singers and three mics?

[leftysmith83]

So MTV finally gets real music on again and that's how the audience reacts?

[SirNinjaMonkey]

ITS BEAUTIFUL

[TheDecemberSoul]

they shoulda gave Troy a real mic

[aspasiz]

You're not supposed to be dancing. You should be going crazy. You got to see Mastodon live people. Do something

[aspasiz]

You're not supposed to be dancing. You should be going crazy. You got to see Mastodon people. Do something

[Martin211191]

what a great song and what a fucking lame audience...

[op2myst]

wtf is the audience doing?

[hippiedippyd]

the shit artists will do for a paycheck.

[albundie3]

I dont know how brann is doing that, when i switch to different drums, i cant function right for like an hour

[superjubs]

why was troy so quiet?

[lordofwar528]

Whats with all the people talking shit about josh homme... probably a bunch of screamo emo metal faggots

[supernubbz]

Not one metal head in the audience......... Yeah bang you head fake cunts.

[cfl941]

i was liike ho dang was that Joshua

[PKTANGEL]

I'm not one to do it normally. I did it once when someone cracked my sister during an MSI concert. It was merely to show the intensity of the music. Otherwise it was only a statement to show spirit. My bad.....

[Bonecracker101]

By far, the best live performance of any Mastodon song I've seen.

[PKTANGEL]

You don't bob your head to mastodon. You punch people..... Preppy idiots.

[johnnyscifi]

@PKTANGEL If you punch people at shows you ARE a douchebag.

[jimmyredpant]

is brann playing josh's guitar there? bloody nice song btw

[willingtotry]

@jimmyredpant brann is the drummer man, that's bill

[Xsebyslaughter1]

Fucken love these guys and crack.the sky was more dedicated too brann sailors sister whose name was skye and commited suicide

[RealComtonG]

@red157 ^ massive geek out



[BurnzyBurninator]

QOTSA and Mastodon are definitely two of my favorite bands, I feel like this video was made just for me

[xXDandZXx]

it's just not the same in a small room. The sound it too big!

[kfizz]

That funny that guy head banning out of time must really be drunk.

[kevdoom2]

y is there a guy moaning while they are making art?

[ThatKrookedVulture]

Fuck yeah.

[tsyrlb]

i want to punch those fucking bitch ass girls in the fucking heads. this isnt fucking the yeah yeah yeahs, why the fuck are you moving around like that!?

fuckshits!

[ImThatGuy629]

Woah wtf... MTV playing real music... THIS IS BLASPHAMEY!

[xkruulx]

ROFL THEY WERE SOOOOOO BLAZED BEFOR DOING THIS SONG! I love mastodon and this is 1 of my fav songs but at 2:56 rofled all over the floor from his epic jizzing all over the crowd.

[therealpgdarthnick]

brent's shirt is amazing.

[xThrashxTillxDeath]

josh homme is legend :)

[FeehDeedo]

OMG when I saw Josh I jumped from my chair D: wtf is he doing there anyway ? G_G

[VoyagerAbove]

@FeehDeedo He does guest vocals on the studio recording as well. He's there because he's part of the song.

[DrNick784]

Wanna know the fucked up thing? If I'm right this is the night Brent got sucker punched by that fucking prick William Hudson, fell and cracked his head on the sidewalk, went into a coma and came close to dying. Sad to watch this knowing that that was gonna happen soon. But on the bright side without that incident we may never have gotten Crack the Skye.

[Yeahhhh444]

@DrNick784 It wouldn't have been made. Brent said he just smoked a lot of pot while he was recovering and thought of the concept one day. I actually think he himself had an out of body experience while he was in a coma and the idea came from forgotten memories hahaha.

[VoyagerAbove]

@DrNick784 You're partially right, except it was Brent (even by his own admission) who was being the prick. He was drunk and very fucked up, and was fucking with a lot of people. Brent hit Hudson first. Brent is pretty well known for doing (or at least at the time of the incident) tons of drugs (cocaine and pain pills for instance) and drinking excessively.

[ScottysGuitar]

So much respect to that one chick headbanging at 3:06

[jerrytimes]

What a lame ass crowd.

[mrbiggols17]

i've never seen any metal bands live, but this the lamest crowd for ANY type of show

[JMorr1029]

all the mics are turned down too much except josh's. it's like listening to queens of the stone age with mastodon playing the music.

[Kw1q51lv3r]

@JMorr1029 it's like the live mixer thinks josh homme is the lead vocalist. when he's just a backup. stupid assumptions about the role of band members and guests, i believe.

[parade]

@Kw1q51lv3r Word. Brent is too loud, Troy needs to go up.

[cyanatelolwut]

there is absolutely no way u can call mastodon a shit band after listening to crack the skye

[funknotik]

I want to see brent hinds picking technique not everyones fucking face!! FUCK FACE WORSHIP!! SHOW THERE HANDS!!! LOL!!!!!!!

[VISHMAN14]

i love brann dailor

[drhogwash]

those are the exact opposite of your standard mastodon fans.. "i don't know what to do with my hands" fucking posers

[Franface31]

Josh looks bored singin' this :S

[ryanosaur2000]

@Franface31 Bored or stoned? He does enjoy his drugs sa we all know.

[Franface31]

@ryanosaur2000 Absolutely agree, LOL.

[gooberguy6]

epic drumming 

[NobleSixM252]

Fucking love the lame-ass posers trying to fucking jam, LONG LIVE THE MASTODON!

[aarossell]

@NobleSixM252 elitest

[KaBruLee]

If Shavo ever stepped to my country ass I would BEAT his ass like a Zyldjian ZBT!!!

[jonnyboyxxx]

Josh and Mastodon, now theres some manly mother punchers right there

[HersheyVolts]

oh hey josh homme :P

[CPRpaintball]

i love how they turned down there sound for this, if they let them play normaly these bitches would be dead deaf

[guyon2342]

Haha i just wanted to comment on some 'colony of birchmen' vid that this song seemed creepily much like a QOTSA song. I didnt even know that it really was Josh Homme :P But the whole song had some kinda 'QOTSA air' just because of the  0:40-0:50 part Josh sings.

[fastpepp]

Mastodon rules! mtv fuckin' sucks!

[rocknroll112345]

Was this on the night that Brent got beaten the shit out of by William Hudson and Shavo Odadjian?

[81x85x]

@rocknroll112345 yeah, but ididnt know that shavo beat the shit out of him, i just knew they fought

[guyon2342]

@81x85x Why did they fight? :O Fellow great musicists shouldnt fight :P They should work together to make some sort of mastodonish system of a down :D

[guyon2342]

@guyon2342 found it, In 2007 Hinds attended a MTV music video awards after-party, where he partied and drank heavily with members of Motörhead, Queens of the Stone Age, and Foo Fighters. Hinds left the party in an inebriated and drugged state, reportedly swinging his shirt at pedestrians on the sidewalk, where System of a Down bassist Shavo Odadjian and rapper Reverend William Burke were walking back from the VMA's to their hotel. He hit shavo and punched Burke. They beat him up after that.

[senbonsakura1]

@guyon2342 actually they only hit him once each, at the same time, when he fell from it he hit his head on the sidewalk lol

[fastpepp]

mastodon rules!!!!!!!! mtv suck!!!!!!

[TractorTheBassist]

@poolgarth yeah, thats josh homme

[kingv911]

I'll stick with the album version........

[ShroomSamich]

MASTODON+QOSTA= GOOD TIME

[kohutsky]

Josh homme fucking ruined that whole song! That douche thinks he's soo damn cool!

[FullMetalJJC93]

@kohutsky yeah i can see why hes a douche standing in one spot singing real douche like and how can he ruin the song if he sings in the album

[muffinsNsausage]

Josh Homme looks like a faggot

[crazyclown622]

was this like right before brent got his face broken...which led to the creation of the greatest album ever

[slayerulz11]

i heard the guy got knocked the fuck out, and i cant get a vid

[MeanMustard650]

@slayerulz11 No video of it but yeah, Brent Hinds(lead guitarist, Singer) of mastodon got knocked out by the bassist of System of a Down and one of his friends. I think thats what you were talking about.

[slayerulz11]

@MeanMustard650 yea i looked it up online, i thought there was a vid of it, that singer is so f**ked up he cant even speak a simple sentence or contain a coherent thought

[MeanMustard650]

@slayerulz11 He used to be, before that incident he was drinking so much and he was even doing crack which is fucking crazy. After he got his ass knocked out though he stopped doing crack and has been drinking not as much.

[SilentTutorialsEtc]

There voice live seems to be lacking something. It's not their singing it just seems like the audio mixer or whoever messed up something.

[thumbvideos123]

@a7xslipknot80 yea. . . but who's to say there might not be a few actual Mastodon fans in the crowd?

but still true

[davethehostage]

RUN. WITH. DEATH.

[SMOKINAC3S3]

das the dude from queens of the stone age!

[omjurmom96]

haha this wasnt the main show stage tho?

[t3hirishjam]

Troy Sander's voice just raped everybody in that room...They didn't even see it coming... 

[muffinsNsausage]

josh homme seems like a fag

[guyon2342]

@muffinsNsausage take thy words back thou foul creature! he's just stoned...

[muffinsNsausage]

@guyon2342 he's just a faggot

[ansem533]

are they attempting to dance to Mastodon? *face palm* preppy douche fucks...

[red157]

@ansem533 They can dance if they want to. They can leave their friends behind. 'cos you friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they ain't no friends of mine.

[Andrew11381138]

@red157 SAFETY DANCE! :D:D:D!!!

[MeanMustard650]

@red157 That was probably the funniest thing i read all day.

[jacky56]

@red157 everybody knows you dance like you fuck.. ^^

[toonuraccoon]

@red157 epic reply

[MenaPaws21]

@red157 REPLY WIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xkruulx]

@red157 Oh we can dance, OH WE CAN DANCE IF WE WANT TOo

[TroyPepper]

@red157

Flawless victory.

[niggawhusssup]

@red157 Turk!!

[xXeddie92Xx]

@red157 LMFAO right now.

[therealjakegreen]

@ansem533 this song has got a pretty dance-able groove to it. just because it's a "metal" song doesn't mean you can't dance to it. what's wrong with dancing anyway? it's fun. try it, if you're too good for it.

[Darkzmanz]

@ansem533 Are talking about those people shaking their heads? That's called headbanging and if i remeber that's what you do when you listen to a metal song. And why would there be preps at a Mastodon show anyway that's like saying "Are those people head banging to Micheal Jackson, Stupid goth fucks." Good thing they headbanged too they have some sympathy for the shitband Mastodon is anyway.

[aarossell]

@ansem533 yeah I'm sure that's what the band was thinking. "we're up here playing music and these losers are dancing instead of just staring at us like we're monkeys... preppy douche fucks."

[adreed1]

@ansem533 i'm sure they don't mind the preppy douche bag girls. brett hinds ain't exactly an abercrombie model, but i am sure a majority of them would drop their panties for him. proof that being in a band, especially a famous one, will guarantee you lots of ass.

[nations1992]

@ansem533 ha atleast there tryin to dance instead of throwin shit at the guys lol.for some reason they cant get the last "yeah!!!" right.

[sep916]

Josh Homme makes almost everything better

[guyon2342]

@sep916 Yeah incredible, mastodon already is great but he sings a track with 'em and its even better :O

[theMFBH]

these MTV assholes did not deserve to be waving weak-fisted horns off-tempo in the presence of the such Latter Day Guitar Gods.

Guarantee that's the only Mastodon show where chicks have been in the front.

[MaidenOfHeavyMetal]

@theMFBH Nope, when I went to see them a few months ago I was up front, right between the mosh pit and some big fat guy. Good times, good times. <3

[Whisp360]

homme to play guitar on next don album. yes please.

[rebornstillborn]

Everybody complains about the crowd but seeing as they're obviously not your standard metalheads and therefore not prone to moshing or headbanging they do actually get into the music a little. I mean, take one look at all the good-looking girls in the center who dig the music, who would'nt love that? I think they're thrilled to actually play this crowd as they'll get acceptance from a wider crowd and not just be "a metal band". Shame it's the same night Brent ended up in a coma.

[92turbo4life]

in case you guys didnt know. mastodon and queens are really good friends. to my knowledge i dont think theyve played a show together. they should. thatd be sick.

[TheBigCheeseSauce]

The guest vocalist sucks! I want Mastodon to do their own things. This guy was a distraction BIG TIME. It almost looked as if Troy was getting a bit pissed at him at 1:20-1:31 I wouldn't blame him! Lmfao!

[247randomshit]

@TheBigCheeseSauce Josh Homme got more talent in his little finger than all of the members in mastodon together, I can tell you that for sure.

[TheBigCheeseSauce]

@247randomshit Yeah but this was Mastodon's show NOT his! You get my drift?

[red157]

@TheBigCheeseSauce Actually it was nobody's 'show'. Everyone from Lemmy to Dave Grohl were playing with each other.

[247randomshit]

@TheBigCheeseSauce Well I guess mastodon asked him to sing with them so what can he do? And if i dont get it wrong; Josh sings on this song even on the cd?

[guyon2342]

@247randomshit That's a bit over the top. Josh homme is like a god but i think that all members of mastodon are at least angels compared to him. They make great music!

[guyon2342]

@TheBigCheeseSauce Eheh you even have ears? Josh homme is pretty much one of the best singers alive if not the best. Go listen some QOTSA...

[TheBigCheeseSauce]

@guyon2342 no thanks, I prefer Mastodon's creativity than someone from another band coming in and ruining shows. It's nice that they're letting him sing with him but it's a mastodon song remember, not a QOTSA song.

[senbonsakura1]

@TheBigCheeseSauce yeah but he's on the original recording, which makes you a dumbass doesnt it....yes, yes it does

[TheBigCheeseSauce]

@senbonsakura1 So what, who gives a fuck. He's not in Mastodon.

[guyon2342]

You're hopeless.

[TheBigCheeseSauce]

@guyon2342 so is your face. -_-

[guyon2342]

@TheBigCheeseSauce :P dumb fuck..

[TheBigCheeseSauce]

@guyon2342 no I fuck great. Thanks for asking fag.

[CrzyIvnXLII]

Let me tell you from experience that being mismatched to an audience that doesn't even listen to a genre of music remotely close to the style you play is one of the most awkward experiences you'll ever have. They seemed to handle that one pretty well though.

[DarkAngelEU]

Mastodon = awesome non-mainstream

crowd = mainstream MTV generation fags

nuf said

[Pimmelpirat69]

he is only showing his respect to mastodon by singing backup vocals.

Mastodon Kicks Ass!!!

[ChriZombie]

Brent is wearing a really cool t-shirt...

[televisionhog]

@ChriZombie It's a High on Fire t-shirt, which makes it even more awesome.

[ChriZombie]

@televisionhog Yeah, I was trying to hint to it.

[PingPongBall19]

josh homme is so fucking sexy

[davethehostage]

LOL @ the crowd of teenage girls who obviously don't understand this music but are trying their hardest to dance to it. Marks for the effort, I guess.

[whatistheretotype]

Brent Hinds looks like Zach Galifinakis.

[imortalsmile18]

i wonder why Brann isn't playing on his normal kit. And wtf is going on with that crowd!?!

[asiandrummer84]

@imortalsmile18 i guess he had to play the drumkit that was already provided for the performance. and as for the crowd, well what do you expect. they're the MTV crowd.

[espChris93]

mtv let had mastodon play?? how did this happen? finally some good music on this hypocrite channel

[cerealkiller007]

@espChris93 what happened was Dave Grohl had free reign on the line-up and he brought them along...

[espChris93]

@cerealkiller007 thank god... plus Josh Homme up there with the guys from Mastodon thats killer

[jtbond1975]

Homme doing his shit, duhhh.......

[xxxREDOXxxx]

hunt for ogres and dwarves, lion slicer, hunter gatherer, sounds like D&D/world of warcraft for me lol

[a991034l]

the crowd are gay if i was there i would shoot every single last one of them. no joke.

[tuliotoscano]

Josh was just do the backings vocals, but he singer the chorus ¬¬

[MrMaggoo24]

I laughed at the crowd. Awesome song though, and is it just me or is Troy's mic way too quiet?

[manbearpig91]

that is in fact the gayest audience i have ever seen.

[300daysandnights]

@manbearpig91 I went to a reggae concert and people still moshed! for god's sake that is the worst crowd ever.

[WWEhopeful]

i thought Brann was gonna break the fucking snare at 3:15

[ahmadaz96001]

F*** MTV

[dpowanator]

this would have been cooler if josh laid down some of those haunting high backing vocals

[dpowanator]

@dpowanator during the entire song

[Fallinldols]

@dpowanator 3:21 and on haha

[dpowanator]

@Fallinldols haha yes i realized that, but it would have been cool for it to be for the whole song

[karan0106]

yeah wtf is it with the crowd?

[condemnd3]

what the fuck the crowd is just standing there i would be forming a mosh pit and smashing them in there faces

[jennnnnie]

wtf. bill never gets enough camera time. }:[

[zcornias]

What is Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age doing there!

@zcornias Seeing it's him performing with a band
