Yeah I love the crazy little poindexter, tell him he needs to wield a 2x4 with a dog turd on the end tho Get serious , you know what I’m talking about!
Johnny T Well they do win as being the most innovative and yet still rocking band put out music now. That is all the win that these guys need. They make a complete joke of the Grammy's every year.
Yea the solos, the singing, lyrics, riffs, they are so incredible. But you guys are definitely right, oh by the way how cute/hot is the chick in the thumbnail with the big deer eyes? Anyone know her name?
Johnny T I PERSONALLY think that this band would be fucking amazing FOR ME if they had a good singer, IN MY OPINION. The band is awesome, but the singing from these guys don't do it for me, that being said, amazing riffs and solos.
Onomulus I can agree to a point, their cds sound good with the vocals, I have seen some live performances where they sounded, well, out of practice. But also it must be insanely hard to drum that fast and sing, Brents voice kind of reminds me of ZZ top

This is really such a sweet video. The hero's story is fully developed and relatable. The kid reminds of my son, who was socially awkward but incredibly intelligent at that age. He still plays D & D regularly.
What a hell of a video dude. Everything about it strikes a chord with me. The grandma in the oxygen mask, the nerdy kid not accepted but finds joy in being himself, the sadness of losing a mentor. Damn.
This band is all over the place, musically. I love them. Everything about them. Singing in different styles and tones, from song to song, is a favorite part of this band for me.
Best part of the video, 1. Grandson and Grandmother playing D&D together, 2. Trains like a champion. 3. Wins the day! 4. Walks away like eh, that wasn't so bad. Man, I look forward to seeing these guys in concert again. So stoked for this summer.
Noice. My five year old's( now ten) favorite song was Qwerty by Mushroomhead. One day he came dancing into the kitchen dancing, and singing the chorus, and I had some explaining to do to his mother.
They know the majority of metal fans are this, and even those who are stereotypical metal heads are closer to this then not. Good job guys, this video and song are awesome.
+Kellen Pierce That tone isn't as heavy, it's just more aggressive. While related, they are two different things. Difference is one is heaviness is pure metal, while aggressive tones are more in-debt to punk rock, especially hardcore.
reminds me of role models. i was hoping i'd see the band members doing some larping cameos but either way, still fun. i love the little details like the dude with the vape and the guys fighting with those pool beach noodles
In my mind, this is how music videos should be. Not a 3-4 minute fake live performance in a cool setting. This was a great one! Catchy song and nice vid!
Nice one, but was hoping to see you guys in the video, Troy as a wizard, Brent as a barbarian, Bill as a knight and Brann as an archer with duel daggers.
This video reminds me the Rush spirit on Subdivisions and stuffs like that....with great songs and videos direct to the nerds, excluded, outsiders, etc. Mastodon rocks!
Being in this music video changed my life forever. I was struck with a non-styrofoam fake weapon, something definitely denser...and it messed up my thumb. Every time I look at my misplaced thumb, I think of my experience in the music video. Didn't get that much appearance time but it was still pretty fun haha.
The fact that you resort to name calling shows me that you have no proper counterpoint. Seeing as this conversation is quickly degrading to middle school-level maturity, I refuse to dignify it with further comment.
My ex booked bands back in the day.. Mastadon was one of them.. LONG ago and far away in Greensboro NC I seen them in a small club.. 3 kids and loads of great bands o was blessed with by that relationship 💜❤️
It's so funny when the old man comes over and puts the kids costume out and the kids tries to hug him. the old man just kinda pushes him off and is like "grow some balls kid"
Gluteus Enthusiast nope totally awesome they sound perfect live the album crack the skye doesn't lent itself to mashing or head banging it's very trance like leviathan or blood mountain on the other hand then you get buck wild
Gluteus Enthusiast for crack the skye the atmosphere was electrified just because we weren't jumping around doesn't mean it was bad keep in mind crack the skye has 2 13+ minute songs on it I think the shortest song is like 4 minutes that album is the sound track for a movie that they played on a screen at the show awestruck is a good description of the crowd
Tara-Nicole Azarian Three things: 1) Tell your brother we said "Cool, man. Real cool." 2) You have nice eyes. 3) At first glance, I read your name as "Tara-Nicole Tarzan."
He is much better with a sword! Kylo couldn't even cut down a defected stormtrooper who picked up someone else's light saber for the first time and started waving it around!
when is your next bug jar show... if not that maybe auditorium theatre, would be a way to get the gang back together, minus todd and bob ,i know andy would want be there and ed repard ... a rock tour of the bars
and role models basically made a movie out of it before these bands did their videos so... the whole world does things based off influences. at least mastodon weren't in it like pth

Greetings from an Armenian town in Transylvania
hes beyond perfect for this video
Yeah I love the crazy little poindexter,
tell him he needs to wield a 2x4 with a dog turd on the end tho
Get serious , you know what I’m talking about!
DOOD. Tell him we all love him for this video. Metal Nerds approve.

This band puts out masterpiece after masterpiece and they still don't win, seriously this band is incredible.
Johnny T Well they do win as being the most innovative and yet still rocking band put out music now. That is all the win that these guys need. They make a complete joke of the Grammy's every year.

Johnny T
The drummer's voice is the most passable for me, but still, I wish they had a dedicated singer.
Seriously, has to be one of the best music videos in the last twenty years.
Right up there with Red Fangs vids, but you're right, this may be the best
First viewing: it's sad that the old guy dies.
Second viewing: it's awesome that the old guy is going to Valhalla.
Shit good point
@Nightmare Strawberry Chic "at the brink of death."
He's not dying, he just got his ass kicked, too
oh man that sent shivers down my spine
@@DrDizzleFrizzle Not nearly as badly as those four jerks who ran with their tails between their legs.
One of the best Mastodon's choruses ever...if not THE best!! Love it
Oblivion for me
Much more touching than lots of 2 hour-long drama movies
New high tech surveillance/espionage device
The FBI “bug”
“What if, we could have eyes like a fly on the wall”
Is the quote that inspired Trumps top scientists to begin production on a proposed first generation of insect themed electronic espionage/surveillance devices.
Robot spy bugs
Based on breakthrough military nano-bot technology and manufactured in factories outsourced and funded by billionaire research investor and Tesla Co-Founder CEO Elon Musk
One of many modern american military science projects greenlit by Trump, the FBI bug is a self destructable nano-bot that is able to infiltrate and adapt to almost any environment. It’s primary evasive ability to leap large distances in a second, rendering it almost invisible to the naked eye results in the gadget being considered highly effective in certain circumstances such as unconstitutional research studies, civilian surveillance, and gathering information in unreachable locations.
Trump was quoted saying “nanobots” when given the design pitch for the operation presented alongside such missions as Space Force and other top secret classified government projects, used primarily by the FBI and CIA in covert containment ops, the incredibly small spying device self destructs and crumbles to ashes when field position has been comprised.
Its foremost function is to send a basic data signal back to a local intelligence server. This is being deployed on American citizen surveillance operations primarily based in southern states from Texas to North Carolina
The FBI and CIA both presented rumors of KGB breakthroughs in post Cold War “sleeper agent” mind control/mind reading research, Trump in a vain reaction to speculated Russian super science responded with allocation of government funding in American Military science research that would surpass the rumored Russian super weapons
KGB tech may be in use in eastern European countries alongside the Russian border
FBI/CIA Military grade tech has been in deployment in southern American states being tested on American citizens for the past few years.
playin dungeons and dragons with your gramma in an oxygen mask. totally. awesome.
haha. that was really weird
Playing dnd with grandma would be awesome anyway
@@iamnotevenanumber3312 it was kinda cute to see the old woman having fun with rpgd
Gramma playing chaotic evil too!
Grandma kicks ass. Always love ur grandmas
Those riffs just made a nest in my hippocampus. Freaking GREAT.
came here for the babes, stayed for the music
This is really such a sweet video. The hero's story is fully developed and relatable. The kid reminds of my son, who was socially awkward but incredibly intelligent at that age. He still plays D & D regularly.
... Is that girl in the beginning moving a Bishop in a straight line? That's not how chess works, damnit!
Good eye
anonymous anon well spoken
+fredmachine I was lookin' at their titties.
+fredmachine It was a dream.. It doesn't have to make sense.
u must be so much fun at teen fantasy partues
What a hell of a video dude. Everything about it strikes a chord with me. The grandma in the oxygen mask, the nerdy kid not accepted but finds joy in being himself, the sadness of losing a mentor. Damn.
Music aside, this is one of the best music videos I've ever seen!
Lol look at the vault boys
+SmartHealthInsDOTcom Joe Yeah some of their stuff is very profound.
I personally like Crack the sky the best but I enjoy all albums.
The grandmother's d&d character is chaotic evil. That's awesome.
Ha ha ! Indeed !
That riff is absolutely savage
Just noticed grandma's character sheet.
"Mermaida".
Grandma's a fan of Dethklok. Huh.
+J. Corson MURMAIDER!!!
GREAT video
+J. Corson Scuba Tank Filled with Fart
That mus be why she is on Dethsupport.
She's also playing chaotic evil. And she looks so sweet.
2:50 is one of my favorite Mastodon moments ever, sounds so majestic holy crap the goosebumps when I heard it the first time
Mine too. What a beautiful passage of music.
This is the most wholesome metal video ever. And it works so well
mastadon will randomly have the heaviest riff you've ever heard for no reason at all
this isn't just one of the best music videos it's one of the best stories anywhere. it's perfect.
I've seen this video a hundred times, and it still makes me sob all along, and shed a tear at the end
This band is all over the place, musically.
I love them. Everything about them.
Singing in different styles and tones, from song to song, is a favorite part of this band for me.
Needed more of those two red heads!
Time is a b*** to lot of women. If theyre 30 and still look good than they will still look good at 50.
Best part of the video, 1. Grandson and Grandmother playing D&D together, 2. Trains like a champion. 3. Wins the day! 4. Walks away like eh, that wasn't so bad. Man, I look forward to seeing these guys in concert again. So stoked for this summer.
This was my five year old daughter's favorite song when she was learning to walk. She would get so geeked in her walker every time it came on.
Awesome!!
Raising em right!
Noice. My five year old's( now ten) favorite song was Qwerty by Mushroomhead. One day he came dancing into the kitchen dancing, and singing the chorus, and I had some explaining to do to his mother.
I had the BEST time filming this music video :D came out looking so awesome!!
You did great.
big same fam! big fuckin same!
Are you the gorgeous redhead in the beginning? Great job! Lol
The kid in this music video has more character development than Rey from Star Wars
lol the truth
So right bud!
@@Son_Of_Conan allright!
Amen!
Our hero's face at 1:40 is perfect.
For the 4:18 that this video played, life wasn't so shitty. Thank you for the art Mastodon.
0:46 “You let the stormcloaks wipe us out”
Damn you imperials
They know the majority of metal fans are this, and even those who are stereotypical metal heads are closer to this then not. Good job guys, this video and song are awesome.
In terms of shear tone, this is probably Mastodon's heaviest song.
ganondorfchampin Heard March of the Fire Ants? Actually, I take that back. The tone on this song is pure badass.
+Kellen Pierce That tone isn't as heavy, it's just more aggressive. While related, they are two different things. Difference is one is heaviness is pure metal, while aggressive tones are more in-debt to punk rock, especially hardcore.
Trampled Underhoof? That song is just pure devastation!
ThatHorrorMovieGuy Do you not understand what tone is?
Slick Leg.
The feeling you get when that chorus kicks in is priceless!!!
From only hearing the song, I would have never thought of the music video being anything like this. But it definitely works, perfect fit.
The chorus of this song is very cool. ♥
I like oblivion better
+André Silveira oblivion is out of this world but this is good too
+gearskalle sure
+Carascoroscovaldo wow positivity, i haven't seen that since 1992
I don't really like the "Oblivion" chorus, I think the part Brann sings is better.
reminds me of role models. i was hoping i'd see the band members doing some larping cameos but either way, still fun. i love the little details like the dude with the vape and the guys fighting with those pool beach noodles
sad how the old guy has a heart attack at the end after saving the kid... I cri evry tiem
Well Trump won't let him die so
Vigor.TV Daddy Trump
indeed.
Emperor Daddy
Spoilers
Why did it had to end all sad, goddamnit.
Because metal
Mastodon hates Grandpas
thats the point of the song. 'The High Road'. "You take the high road down, I'll take the ground below you." the bullies took the low road and won.
Why should every story have a happy end?
Kid might not be tough but the Gods are proud of him for his devotion to his family and tenacity
Man this was awesome . There hasnt been a Mastodon song ive not liked . The two woman at the start are smoking hot .
Thank you!
Anjela Gotsulyak What for? lol
I'm one of the girls in the beginning of the video lol
........Come again..
Anjela Gotsulyak Well then bless you dear...
In my mind, this is how music videos should be. Not a 3-4 minute fake live performance in a cool setting. This was a great one! Catchy song and nice vid!
Nice one, but was hoping to see you guys in the video, Troy as a wizard, Brent as a barbarian, Bill as a knight and Brann as an archer with duel daggers.
Realize you wrote this comment four years ago, but today was first time viewing the video. I love your idea!
This dude is rolling the whole polyhedral set. What are you even doing, kid?
Zeta Reticuli Either DMing a roll for a dragon's attack/damage rating or casting some serious magic missile
anonymous anon You'll be fine
My virgin eyes!!!!!!!!!!
+Zeta Reticuli What is the name of this game? We don't have games like that in my country, and i always looked for something like that.
Francisco Oliveira Dungeons and Dragons. Been around since Lord of the Rings was published back in the dark ages
If the video for Motherlode didn't exist this would probably be my favorite music video of all time.
This and Red Fang's "Prehistoric Dog" are the 2 best LARP themed metal videos of the 2010s.
This video reminds me the Rush spirit on Subdivisions and stuffs like that....with great songs and videos direct to the nerds, excluded, outsiders, etc.
Mastodon rocks!
I have to listen to the audio track again because I paid zero attention to the song.
Exactly what happens everytime I come here
David Murphy hahahahah i thought i was the only one... then i thought couldnt have been bad otherwise i wouldve stop watching too
Can't believe I'm just hearing this song.. but it's a new favorite 💕
This song is eternally in my playlist and I never am upset when it comes on. Music video is killer too.
Mastodon had such a heavy guitar sound, chug chug. I love it. And it's not over done.
So no one is gonna talk about how the older man gave up his life to save the young man's? Much respect.
It's almost unfair how many bangers they've come out with.
Goated band
Has to be one of the HEAVIEST Riffs ever created🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Greatest Granny of all time :D
Mastodon video clips are the only ones I am caring to watch in full screen lately.
Now, wait a damn minute.
*busts open the rulebook*
None of those are Amtgard-legal weapons!
Makoto Tachibana's Serratus Anterior The horror!
Outlaw larping
Being in this music video changed my life forever. I was struck with a non-styrofoam fake weapon, something definitely denser...and it messed up my thumb. Every time I look at my misplaced thumb, I think of my experience in the music video. Didn't get that much appearance time but it was still pretty fun haha.
RIP, Clementine's thumb.
Heard you on Heidi and Frank show
@@frankien1376 oh boy haha 😅
Alright, I officially love this band. They have the greatest music videos.
How did I miss this gem? Every once in a while, YT gets it right.
2:16 I really like that shot with the fire extinguisher....
Replace D&D with video games, and LARPing with paintball, and this IS my childhood. Can't wait till the album's out. It sounds awesome so far.
so completely different then?..
pubicenemy92 Not entirely. I hung out with old people, got my ass kicked, took karate lessons, got fit, kicked a few asses. The themes are the same.
the themes are the same, i apologise. see any wrinkly nuts in you're youth?
pubicenemy92 *apologize, *your.
The fact that you resort to name calling shows me that you have no proper counterpoint. Seeing as this conversation is quickly degrading to middle school-level maturity, I refuse to dignify it with further comment.
Damn great opening riff. Masterpiece.
Role Models, the music video.
or is it "Roll" Models. ;)
no its just larping in general
cory_i yes
The most enjoyable music video I've seen in at least a decade.
That's actually really sweet watching him play d&d with his grandma
I never thought I'd say I was saddened by the end of a music video.
try watching a Steven Wilson music video
Or you can try to imagine a music video for Face of Melinda by Opeth.
mastodon makes my head feels good
Love playing that riff in 12/8! Discovered you guys from one of my guitar students. Yall are sick!
This video is better than anything that Hollywood has produced since the turn of the millennium.
My ex booked bands back in the day.. Mastadon was one of them.. LONG ago and far away in Greensboro NC I seen them in a small club.. 3 kids and loads of great bands o was blessed with by that relationship 💜❤️
It's so funny when the old man comes over and puts the kids costume out and the kids tries to hug him. the old man just kinda pushes him off and is like "grow some balls kid"
Mastodon are so talented I love this video
How does this vid not have overa million views great job from the band and the director of the video
Oh shit now there's over 2 million views wooooh!
so is this what a mastodon moshpit looks like?
cole gordon I went to a show the crowd stood in rapt attention for 2.5 hours no pit very little head banging it was surreal
+Christopher Combs wow that actually sounds horrible
***** for a metal band It would feel like a dead show to me
Gluteus Enthusiast nope totally awesome they sound perfect live the album crack the skye doesn't lent itself to mashing or head banging it's very trance like leviathan or blood mountain on the other hand then you get buck wild
Gluteus Enthusiast for crack the skye the atmosphere was electrified just because we weren't jumping around doesn't mean it was bad keep in mind crack the skye has 2 13+ minute songs on it I think the shortest song is like 4 minutes that album is the sound track for a movie that they played on a screen at the show awestruck is a good description of the crowd
The most touching metal vid and my favorite song. I've seen Mastodon in 4 times since moving back to Denver!
Chorus is so great. Has such an 80’s or early 90’s Ozzy feel.
The nerd is strong in this one. I love this. Can more metal videos involve LARPing? I feel like the world needs that.
Check out Protest the Hero's Clarity video. LARPing galore
plus Red Fang's Prehistoric Dog, of course.
Also Red Fang - Prehistoric Dog.
EDIT: Shit, didn't realize someone already said this haha my bad.
My big brother plays the nerd in this. :) Thanks so much for the comment Erika. I'm so proud of him! :D
Tara-Nicole Azarian Three things:
1) Tell your brother we said "Cool, man. Real cool."
2) You have nice eyes.
3) At first glance, I read your name as "Tara-Nicole Tarzan."
Love it,well done Mastadon,good fun and an anti-bullying message as well!
Thanks To This Music Video, Now Im into Dungeons and Dragons
Thanks to this music video i let my friendly senior neighbor lure me into his garage :)
Man... It's so sweet that he plays with his grandma and befriends his neighbor. Very touchy video in an odd way.😳
This is just soooooo beautiful 💪🙂🖐
Did anyone notice that Grandma soloed a blue dragon? Fucking legend.
How have I never seen this until 2019?
fuck me I forgot I was in a music video :L
Holy shit man. Its true
hahah great
lmao!
You, good sir, deserve an Oscar for this performance
yes!!
Good kid taking care of his grandma... Nice.
That battle at 3:07 was one for the ages! Epic indeed!
This looks like the story of Dave Mustaine vs Lars Ulrich.
Except Dave is better at drumming in both scenarios... Lol
Andrew03289 you absolute madlad
More like the story between Lars and the St Anger snare.
Y'all stooopid!! 😂🤣😱💀💀💀👌👌
I love you
It was good to see some tabletop RPGs in the video. >:) All hail Grandpa!
such a gargantuan riff !!
Dat drop A
This video would have fit right in on MTV back in the 90s. I love it!
Really happy to see Mastodon moving back towards their old sound great song great fun video
So awesome guys, loving the new track. Looking forward to the full album.
Guys in the comments, what's your favourite Mastodon track?
The Czar!
March of the Fire Ants!
Quintessence
HEARTS ALIVE
This Mortal Soil
One of my favorite bands 🤘🤘
I am a drummer.....but can we talk about how that riff is legendary?
Why yes we can, it's so heavy!
@@kevinwillems8720 one of my favorite riffs ever! Riffs like that make me want to purchase one and learn sometime.
This is an oddly wholesome masterpiece. Also of course I find this right before a d&d session.
One of the best choruses ever.
Definitely the best riff on the album, i would say ever, but Mastodon always beats itself for the best riff ever.
He's a little Kylo Ren.
and the main bully twat is lars ulrich
I would no be suprised
No he is Rickon Stark
FallaciousScotsman Matt the radar technician.........
He is much better with a sword! Kylo couldn't even cut down a defected stormtrooper who picked up someone else's light saber for the first time and started waving it around!
This reminds a lot of Role Models... gonna watch that now
when is your next bug jar show... if not that maybe auditorium theatre, would be a way to get the gang back together, minus todd and bob ,i know andy would want be there and ed repard ... a rock tour of the bars
Good song, but Protest the hero and Red fang did the same video... 1:42
and role models basically made a movie out of it before these bands did their videos so... the whole world does things based off influences. at least mastodon weren't in it like pth
***** Protest isn't in theirs either. But regardless, the video is completely different like you said!
Supernatural too
***** Winner.
Skidd Rockett you're right my bad, i just looked. i though tthey were
I wasn't prepared for Geddy Lee's origin story to be so touching...\m/
"You take the high road down"♫♪ Awesome!!!
