A lot of people don't like death metal because it just sounds so angry and disturbing...........but the story the Goats are telling reminds us all of the love, hope and sense of sibling-hood that defines every band.
Yeah, but ya gotta be realistic as versions of this song touch on. I mean, I love me some old fashioned Florida Death Metal, but I don't think that even Cannibal Corpse has a private jet.
The best ever death metal band out of Denton Were a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff And they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom The best ever death metal band out of Denton Never settled on a name But the top three contenders, after weeks of debate Were "Satan's Fingers," and "The Killers," and "The Hospital Bombers" Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed For stage lights and Lear jets, and fortune and fame So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram They stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names This was how Cyrus got sent to the school Where they told him he'd never be famous And this was why Jeff In the letters he'd write to his friend Helped develop a plan to get even When you punish a person for dreaming his dream Don't expect him to thank or forgive you The best ever death metal band out of Denton Will in time both outpace and outlive you Hail Satan! Hail Satan tonight! Hail Satan! Hail hail!
The reason I originally posted that quotation is I think Zappa's "Joe's Garage" and Darnielle's "Best Ever Death Metal Band" tell similar stories. Plus I think it might be nice to offer someone screaming "Hail Satan!" a donut and encourage them to go back to Sunday School.

"When you punish a person for dreaming his dream, don't expect him to thank you or forgive you."
One of my favorite lines in music.
HAIL SATAN!
I literally felt that line in my chest the first time I heard the song years ago...
That line keeps me going
HAIL SATAN!
As a man from Denton who's close friends with a guy in a death metal band, this hit's home in a very odd way.

This is better audio quality than the album version...
In fairness, All Hail West Texas was filmed on a boombox!
@@OmensKB filmed?
@@aaronpelavin2445 Recorded, you know what I meant lmao
Never knew why they chose the name The Mountain Goats, but hearing John’s voice on this… I get it 🙌 🐐
Holy shit I always wondered but now that you mention it it all makes sense!
Yeah lol he both looks and sounds like one 😂
Why do I cry every fucking time
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Were a couple of guys who'd been friends since grade school
One was named Cyrus, and the other was Jeff
And they practiced twice a week in Jeff's bedroom
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Never settled on a name
But the top three contenders, after weeks of debate
Were "Satan's Fingers," and "The Killers," and "The Hospital Bombers"
Jeff and Cyrus believed in their hearts they were headed
For stage lights and Lear jets, and fortune and fame
So in script that made prominent use of a pentagram
They stenciled their drumheads and guitars with their names
This was how Cyrus got sent to the school
Where they told him he'd never be famous
And this was why Jeff
In the letters he'd write to his friend
Helped develop a plan to get even
When you punish a person for dreaming his dream
Don't expect him to thank or forgive you
The best ever death metal band out of Denton
Will in time both outpace and outlive you
Hail Satan!
Hail Satan tonight!
Hail Satan!
Hail hail!
hearing this live is on my bucket list
Against Me! played this randomly in Petaluma, CA a few years ago. I was dumbstruck that they played this.
@@jacobgoulette8681 that is fucking awesome
Always good to end a show with “Hail Satan”
Love from Denton, Texas.
I just fucking love them so much
I am at once equally glad that somebody filmed this and enraged that I couldn't be there to witness it myself!
it's so weird hearing the version on All Hail West Texas that's just John on guitar recording on his crappy old boombox and then hearing this
I'd quit my job to see them
I had a fever of 104F and went to the show last year, because I was NOT missing them.
Got to see the band once and just John once. Very amazing and memorable to say the least. The show with just John might have had 150 people max.
I'd love to hear these Texas f*****s go to a death fest (Milwaukee, Ohio, Maryland) and play that.
At the time I am watching this video it has 666 likes. Wondering whether to show my support but ruin it or leave what is good to be good.
It's at 904 now, so go for it.
Just leave it be my friend
I love John Darnielle's song writing and passion so much!
Best ever version. Wish this version was available for download.
rollergoalie16 ever heard of youtube2mp3?
Weeping in joy and appreciation!
God bless. And hail Satan
This song is life.
Brings a tear to my eye
He looks like he's having fun playing
I'm here for Laura Jane Grace and I Iove it
Jessica Díaz honestly like her version more but this is still good. Just a good song all around
Do I remember this recording, at some point he screams ‘hail satan y’all’, isn’t in this version? Or am I being Mandelad?
this was already played out in 2008? who would have guessed
Absolutely legendary
Looking up tour dates... oh yeah.
@2:03 John Darnielle becomes possessed by Daffy Duck
Made me snort.
CraisPlais lmao!
One of our friendly counselors gave him a donut and told him to stick closer to church-oriented social activities.
This is. thee Central scaaaaarrrrrrutinizer.
If you wish to load or unload go to the white zone.

What a fucking fantastic song
Never go electric, John!
Brutal.....
the* Mountain Goats. They're particular about that.
Tfw I was born in Denton
I was at this show
Lucky man
Hahaha wearing an Eyehategod shirt?
I met Eyehategod a few years ago in the airport. Super nice guys.
🤘🏼🤘🏼
I searched for ghost listening to this song once.
Hail John.
MOST METAL SONG EVER
Nah - Jim Hensen singing 'Rubber Duckie' is way more brutal than that.
Hail Satin!!
In the movie hamlet, when 😂it ended Cyrus had sticks for arms...DO giArty3
Hail SATAN...🐐🤘
billy Joel all the way
Shaun Mackay
billyjoel u got ² b kindin kind on
Hail Satan
He needs to get a better drummer
That's Jon Wurster. To Indie and Alternative Music he is what John Bonham and Keith Moon were to Rock Music.
I should make a band called the Hospital Bombers.
