Bill is really a clean player. Just listen to how tight he holds the rhythm when Brent goes around it. Such an underrated player. He makes it look so easy.
I love when bill holds down the riff. What makes it better is lack of expression when he plays imo. Hes imposing the riff on us whether we like it or not
One of the best duo of guitarists out there. They come up with such perfect balance between rythm and lead that sound like no other band. Brent is the loose cannon and Bill's silently holding the wheel to keep it all from crashing and burning. Mind you the real heroes are Troy and Brann, but they're both consistent whereas Brent seems to prance the fine line between chaos and brilliance, anyway that was way too long 🤷♂️
His chord progressions are also awesome, too. I like how he always plays through the chords and let's each note ring out. I've noticed he always does that on a lot of their songs. Makes the chords and songs sound fuller and bigger. He's like the definition of what a rhythm guitarist should be.
It's by far one of their most complex. There's a kind of euphoric mania that comes from really nailing a super hard song, like making it through a roller coaster with no seat belt.
They weren't able to play Crack the Skye cleanly when they first toured it in 2009. It was by far their most ambitious album to date so I can't blame them! This performance is spot on and currently they're even better.
No they aren't, Troy is finishing Brent's parts because Brent can't scream anymore without sounding like a dying cat, it's sad, the vocals for divinations are only pure on the track because he's never came close to that sinse it was recorded
i love mastodon its my fav band but i gotta admit , live brent and troy cant really sing to pitch , brain is probably the best singer of all of them. still love them tho
going to see gojira with these guys at the end of august... never got into this band but decided to listen to them more since theyll be with the mighty gojira, and these guys are badasssss
Jesus fucking Christ, the amount of comments here prepared to call this a good vocal performance is exactly why a lot of metal vocalists simply are not up to scratch when performing live; they don't need to be good to get a round of applause. People seem to have a *massive* blind spot when it comes to this and I have no idea why. It sounds like shit. You know it sounds like shit. Stop pretending that it doesn't sound like shit. They're missing half the notes. If the guitars were out of tune and the solo sounded like shit, you wouldn't accept it. So why are you making apologies for poor vocals??
@ Mr Andy overrated? You mean metallica and whatever 80's hair band you listen to and avenge sevenfold are overrated. Mastodon is actually underrated. Most bands you listen to can not play as technical as this not even tool
Mr Andy Releasing 7 almost undeniably consistent albums, having one of the best drummers in all of metal, 2 of the most creative guitarists in all of metal, and a beyond capable bassist along with being able to successfully incorporate 3 different lead vocalists does not mean overrated to me, but to each their own

Divinations seems to be Brent's favourite song. He's always so passionate about it
Its one of my favorites as a guitarist. I fucking love what they do here.
Yeah not only is the guitar work really great but it’s also complicated too. And he’s sings great on it too to top it off
It's by far one of their most complex. There's a kind of euphoric mania that comes from really nailing a super hard song, like making it through a roller coaster with no seat belt.
If I had made this song I would get hyped when playing it too
Mastodon has gotten soooo much better live in recent years...Ear Candy!!!
eye candy too, proshot looks great
i clicked thinking it was gonna be shit vocals, completely blown away

This. They played this in Cleveland last week and where easily better than this. They are getting better constantly
Bill solid as always, no flashy BS, just tight playing
Brent's performance is phenomenal here! \m/
Ascend ツ What the hell is going on with Troy's voice?!
Meownomenal
brent and brann sound sick when they sing together
I don’t know who needs to hear this but… Mastodon is the greatest of all time.
MY GOODNESS!!! Brent´s vocal performance is fantastic here
VOCALS ARE ON POINT!
No they aren't, Troy is finishing Brent's parts because Brent can't scream anymore without sounding like a dying cat, it's sad, the vocals for divinations are only pure on the track because he's never came close to that sinse it was recorded

@@drgrimfist7437 yep you are correct, that ending part of the verse should be Brent but he can't scream anymore.
@@drgrimfist7437 Who cares? Sounds good. Vocal ranges change all the time, 7 years of touring can do that. They adapted and it sounds great.
The way this song gets to the bridge (1:59) is just too good its unfair how immense that breakdown feels…everytime.
Damn this is one of Brents finest vocal performances. I love brents voice you can always feel the emotion
The intro is just so gooooood
Totally awesome and totally intense, hypnotic, mesmerizing and sublime.
Just some amounts of reverb to turn the vocals into perfection!
Your party turns the corner and encounters Mastodon. Saving throws fail. They are now your party’s favorite band.
Roll for initiative. You roll 4. Your party is now awestruck by the majesty of Mastodon.
Man I remember when this song came out while I was a kid. Heard it on MTV and immediately asked “Wow. What is this?!”
Brann back there thinking, yeah dudes yall nailed this shit
Look at that Jaguar bass. ✨
going to see gojira with these guys at the end of august... never got into this band but decided to listen to them more since theyll be with the mighty gojira, and these guys are badasssss
What a great song!
I got a chance to see these guys in concert in Michigan back in 2019 with my wife and 26 year olde daughter. We had a blast!!
Guys, pls share Tread Lightly from that show !
Man just the clean guitar intro to this song and the riffs and the structure of the song, its fucking brilliant, Mastodon fucking rules
It's Aaron & Marco featuring Intervals. 😊 Anyway both are modern metal giants.
Bill is fabulous
Damn I love that song.
Awesome!!
these guys were on some special juice for this show
Spectacular
Am I crazy or Brann sings the chorus on the studio version?
You're crazy. It's Troy, but the vocals are much more produced than on other records.
Nice!👌👌👌👌👌😒!
FUCKING EPIC!
Bloodstockfestivals, please reupload "DEVILMENT - Full Set Performance - Bloodstock 2017", hope see this show..
I just need that yellow sg!!! What model is it?
Im still looking bro
Gibson 61 Mustard RI

Ребята играют просто оболденно!!! Но в живую вокал к сожалению вообще никакой.

Tbh i love this song, but tell me 3:06 onwards doesnt sound like screaming cats. Lol.
Overrated band with mediocre bassist
i have a feeling you're that one dislike. to each their own
Troy Sanders is actually fantastic my dude. Fuck off.
