Not only are these guys helping save rock & metal, they're also preserving the art of the music video as a gift to be watched late at night while baked af.
MetaLegionnaire I know, right. I love all of their records, they're all vastly different and that's something I respect from any musician. His ability to change and grow.
Are you a Tool fan? Their music has also evolved brilliantly over the years. I actually learned about these guys by reading the biography of Tool. MJK is a big fan.
What I love about this band is that they never take themselves seriously. Their music and lyrics are top class -- deep, profound and contemplative, and yet their music videos are an absolute riot. The contrast is hilarious. They know how elitist and self-important many prog-rock/metal fans can get, and they keep trolling the fuck outta them with every new video. 😂
people who get into it later or get led on by has-beens forget that it was always 'take the music seriously, but don't take yourself seriously'. like, you notice how nobody worth a shit is ever arguing if something has a high enough bpm or not enough blast beats?
Saw them live last year. They bring every bit of that candor and selflessness onto the stage with them. At the same time, it still felt like some dudes playing music they love and sharing that love with the crowd. In short: they rock!
Evan Davidson Saw them live the other day in Ohio. I wasn't much of a fan prior but they are pretty enjoyable. Also, Primus was kinda underwhelming because half the show was playing through The Desaturating Seven, which felt like a lot of filler. So, if you liked their newest stuff you'll be cool but if you hold your breath for the og Primus hits, you may be a bit disappointed. Overall, pretty fun and not bad for my second concert ever.
"Steambreather" Running outside the Nazca Lines You know I see you all in white Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines And I'll rain to give us life Violence born within my mind I know it always takes its time Climbing inside the cosmic eye And forgive the enemy I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself Watching you crumble to the ground Made me want to run away Helping you find the golden crown Made it easier to stay I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself At the bottom of the mountain Unaware of my surroundings Separation from the spirit Let the trees fall where they may I wonder who I am Reflections offer nothing I wonder where I stand I'm afraid of myself
Would it make me too much of a fanboy to remark on how stupid good the acting and editing are in this silly little video? The frustrated bald guy, the hippie chick, the angry punk, the businesswoman in her power suit, the almost involuntary seduction of the older punk guy. Everything is played perfectly. You FEEL something for each of these lunatics.
The band never has any say in their music videos. They said they want their videos to be funny and memorable and not really reflect their music, because they get really serious writing each song. They don't want to be seen as pretentious prog-musicians. The videos are usually directed by their director friends and most of them are from that "adult swim"-type indie circle. I know you guys are joking but I just wanted to point that out.
^^^ that's still a god, my friend. We all serve a god...it's helpful to at least know your god But you said make believe gods so yeah those are useless
I can't help but admire the balance Mastodon strikes between taking their music very seriously and being as carefree as they want with their music videos. It is evident in their interviews that these dudes are just as hilarious as they are class act musicians. Serious music with serious music videos can be bleak. I love their humor.
@@soullessSiIence Funnily enough, millions of people throughout time have repeated both that very sentiment as well as the one I'm conveting to you right now. Let the guy enjoy his Mastodon lol.
although they're not my favorite, mastodon is the best metal band nowadays with a unique style. They are so inventive. They are technical and still emotive, they can sound demonic and angelical, underground and mainstream. Their videos can be serious or hilarious. Brann's clean vocals are amazing, their lyrics are amazing too. I love them.
Man this is what I love about Mastodon's music and their videos. They're all so creative and different from the mainstream... it's really a breath of fresh air
@@scribeofsolace That video was a game changer too. They actually sucked in people who would've normally NEVER gave them a listen otherwise. It's not hard to appeal to metalheads but getting new people out of their comfort zone is genius
Script writer: "I'm going to make a very serious and philosophical video for Steambreather" Brent Hinds while smoking a joint "I have a better idea...."
I saw this randomly on RUclips one day and decided to check it out. Goddamn this music video is so wild lol, the music is killer as shit. One introductory music video and now I'm a lifelong Mastodon fan 🤘🏻
Personally I think this video represented the song's themes in the classic hilarious Mastodon fashion, I already have the insane visualizer for "Steambreather" so I'm good.
Welcome to the party! check out their album Crack the Skye. Its ment to be listened too in one go and its what got me into Mastodon! It flows as a story
This riff and song might be one of their most catchy and groovy ones so far, am deeply in love with how the guitars and drums work together to create that _drive_ that you just have to give in to
Mastodon is that band that you love then the do what they want. This song is badass but they'll change it up on you at they're own whim. Respect. Melvins and Clutch do it to me too. If it doesn't groove with me, I come back later and realize I was wrong.
Mastodon has me as a fan forever because of songs like this, mainly because it's so unexpected and good at the same time. Bands that can expand and adapt are essentials to music, not just putting out the same crap album after album.
As fierce as this music is, it's heartfelt. The structure of man's ego seems impervious to damage and yet reveals the vulnerability of ego reinforcing behavior in the presence of reason. Mastodon has overcome a massive challenge to strike as musicians with this one. Must be very rewarding to complete a song like this. Great work.

Music video: *noses*
this noses nonsense makes sense if you use drugs :)
To quote Ms. Frizzle here: The nose knows.

agreed
Far out. I'm baked at 8:18 p.m. but I get what you're saying.
Replaces All-Seeing Eye with All-Smelling Nose.
Well played Mastodon, well played.
Dan Wright Well, failures happen. Hopefully they will be forgiven
Lololololol!!
Dan Wright it's a human horn!
Yeahh
haaaaahahahahaha xD yes!!!!!!!
Seven albums later, still not a single bad record. Growth, change and good shit, LP after LP. Much love.
MetaLegionnaire I know, right. I love all of their records, they're all vastly different and that's something I respect from any musician. His ability to change and grow.
Bands like Qotsa, Baroness...And Mastodon. No bad albums, no ba
ad songs.

reminds me of primus music videos
Like 12-foot ninja. Crazy talented. No ego.
philosophy and humour ;D
Saw them live last year. They bring every bit of that candor and selflessness onto the stage with them. At the same time, it still felt like some dudes playing music they love and sharing that love with the crowd. In short: they rock!
I'm glad that Mastodon is using this music video to raise awareness and social commentary on nose cults.
Thankfully I'd never succumb to them, I've got a nose for these things. But very important to spread awareness
@junkpunkstore 😂😂😂
Someone had to do it.
I love Brann's clean vocals. so addictive.
for reals....2 1/2 weeks til them and primus...likely with scott Kelly sitting in...he lives down here...

do we know eachother?
"Steambreather"
Running outside the Nazca Lines
You know I see you all in white
Hoping you'll grow the fruitful vines
And I'll rain to give us life
Violence born within my mind
I know it always takes its time
Climbing inside the cosmic eye
And forgive the enemy
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
Watching you crumble to the ground
Made me want to run away
Helping you find the golden crown
Made it easier to stay
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
At the bottom of the mountain
Unaware of my surroundings
Separation from the spirit
Let the trees fall where they may
I wonder who I am
Reflections offer nothing
I wonder where I stand
I'm afraid of myself
Hahahahaha that avatar of Lorde/Randy
Songwriting... that's how you do it

hell yeah
Another great tune!!
fuck yes.

lol awesome
"Hey, you know that song Steambreather? How should the music video go?"
Brent Hinds: "fuckin noses"
*snorting a joint through his nose*
That's Dirty B. Hinds for you. Brann is a jokster as well.. go find him in Asstodon shorts.
Yup
Dick Baguette I ask me what kind of drug they take, what they inhale
... Maybe only steam who knows
the next ones probably going to be about horse jerky

Damn, Mastodon really nose what they're doing.
Brady Jameson think they'll get an award for best music video? Who nose...
I think he nose better than to think that.

-Why is there smoke coming out of this room Seymour?
-Em, oh, that is smoke? It’s steam. Steam from the steam rituals we are having.
Mastodon is the Pink Floyd of metal. Possibly one of the most talented bands of all-time. I just love these guys.
Sorry bro but Tool is the Pink Floyd of metal. Mastodon is The Beatles of metal
- No offense but it is a bold and ignorant opinion.

This new mastodon song is a breath of fresh air.
This new mastodon song is like a breath of fresh smoke! LOL
I can't even listen to Roots Remain with getting chills. Good music all around.
What a cliché comment. I wonder if you ever have your own opinions or you just live life repeating what you hear.

As long as it's not from.the lead singers nasty ass mouth
How are we not talking about the cult leader's name being Master Dan? That's an amazing pun
It's Master DON Thank you very much!
or about his armpit stains 1:28
@lessthannothing...2086nah it’s funny as hell
Brill f’rill.
Alright everybody, I slept on this album for WAY TOO LONG! Mastodon has pulled me back in!
Me too! Their new album led me to give this one a listen and in totally underestimated how good it is .... Damn
Such a banger. This one blew me away live. Brann absolutely killed rhe vox and ofc his drumming is just otherworldly.
They always deliver with their music videos, rarely a disappointment. This one reminds me of the video for Curl of the Burl.
Either way, another one to go into their great list of music videos.
That one and 'Asleep in the Deep' as well
ŢHƏ_ÇŘØMŮŁØŅ I like what they got
ŢHƏ_ÇŘØMŮŁØŅ So, does that mean that you like what they've got?
Me too, I was thinking Curl of the Burl 2.0
Love this band, please don't stop what you're doing and give me more souls to inhale through my ears
Kid Goku oh man u should know that with mastodon is through ur nose now dont confuse stuff 😨
ok cocú
This song smells good
Lol
The beats and transitions in this song are about smooth as they come. Damn near hypnotic..
This song flows like lava.. swift and burning, mesmerizing in the swells and fountains of tempo...burning away the old withered notions of yesterday.
Was this video good or bad? No one nose.
PelleStrandberg I c wat u did thar
Didn`t pass the smell test for me.
PelleStrandberg BAAAADDDD!!!!!!
PelleStrandberg Dad jokes
Oh what you do to meeee..... no one nose.
So nice of David Draiman to help Mastodon out by appearing in this video.
He lost weight and got a pretty good tan
"Hey that video was weird as hell"
ME : YEAH, WHO THE FUCK STILL WEARS A WRISTWATCH?
Master Don
I need to quit watching this video
People above the age of 21.
Rich people
People who don't have phones. ME.
Is mastodon a top 5 band of the 21st century?
Not quite imo
I love Mastodon.. but no.
Epic band ....hell yeah 😉👍
Easily. And Gojira
@@dkelly6492 gojira is from 90s

Brann's clean vocals are amazing, their lyrics are amazing too. I love them.
Mastodon's music is a legal hallucinogen drug
Doc Dave I am thinking that too!
I feel transported to another dimension of consciousness when i listen to this song and jaguar God and the full album :p
I don't know how the acid reached my brain faster... through my ears or my eyes
Clacho van through your nose
eyes is fastest in a car. short tripartyearoughey!
Through your nose
I still listen to this on a very regular basis. *I'M DOING MY PART!*
Me tooooooooooo i still get chills
Mastodon is so underrated! So much better than most bands out there!
I have only recently discovered Mastadon, and mannnnnnn I have been missing out.
One of the last bands to consistently make great music videos.
the guy in tie is great! good actor! :)
These guys will be in Rock and Roll HOF when all is said and done
7 years already? 17 year old me couldn't get enough of this
Godspeed to Mastodon on your ever-evolving journey through time and space. We love what you do. Thanks.
do one for Jaguar God too
Alexandru Papara but please make it a serious video
BU I nose right?
Man this is what I love about Mastodon's music and their videos. They're all so creative and different from the mainstream... it's really a breath of fresh air
Nosetradamus predicted this amazing video .!
Clever.
Ehehe *slow clap *
To Mastadon: write an entire album like this song and keep writing albums like this.
Wow…… I’m in love with this music
This song is catchier than COVID-19
Lol
Top comment
It gets to you through your nose too!
Some people hate this era of Mastodon for that reason.
ha
I heard this on the radio and was waiting for the video
You heard mastodon on the radio???? Where the fuck do you live?? My station never plays good music
probably a college town
or he heard it on sirius
Meshuggah Fan8675 95Wiil Rock in Wisconsin is my go to station even though I don't live there. That's where I heard this song first. 👌
2nd best Video by Mastodon, next to the Neo-pagan twerking video!!!
which to their credit.......was phenomenal..
@@scribeofsolace That video was a game changer too. They actually sucked in people who would've normally NEVER gave them a listen otherwise. It's not hard to appeal to metalheads but getting new people out of their comfort zone is genius
Came for the music. Stayed for the acting. I catch something new about all of the characters everytime I watch.
I remember growing up and watching these kinds of music videos on MTV I miss that.
1. Open RUclips as always
2. See Mast..
3. PLAY IT
I remember being at the Fort Rock festival in Florida and when I saw Mastodon Brent called out the vapers before going into this song, lol good times
Queen D Music Lol he did this in Phoenix too. It was the day after 4/20 and he made some joke about the song and vaping weed.
As a vaper, I'd relish the moment to be insulted by Brent lol
I was there too!
Great show!
I've actually never seen so much vape before that moment.
southern guys doesn't give a fuck if they want to said something 😂
I cannot get over how good their music is. The videos as well are just so wild. Keep it up Mastodon!!!!!
Believe it or not this saved my life
how much LSD did that take to make
*YES*
Absolutely none
Who nose
All of it. All of the acid😁
most of it
These riffs are tasty af my dude
They are also quite smelly
NOT_Ezra__ hell yeah!
Yeah, but don't say "tasty."
"Smelly"?
wasn't listening to the awesome riffs my brain was being reborn by this fucked music video
Script writer: "I'm going to make a very serious and philosophical video for Steambreather"
Brent Hinds while smoking a joint "I have a better idea...."
Best part. The pamphlets show it as led by “Master Don”. Their humor is great! P.s. what’s with the hot dogs?
Hot dogs are like the occult, its a mystery whats inside.
@@DrAL00isin It's not a mystery, it's a bit of horse ass mixed with pig snout.
There are a lot of phallic references.Must have to do with how cult leaders are....cocky.
Weiners, brah. Caught a facefull of weiners, smokin weiners. It's all weiners, man.
This whole video exists and you only question the hotdogs
All of these positive comments....such a love for a group so effing talented. I LOVE MASTODON!! BEST MUSIC EVER!!
Great song. Great message.
Kevin Smith would love this.
Francisco Inácio hahahahha
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 👍
Captain?
Director of "Clerks", "Mallrats", "Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back". Look it up, you'll get it.
Yeah, I know who he is, I just don't get the connection ;)
LOVE the atmosphere and feeling of this song.
At first I thought the line was, "Running outside the Nascar line."
They are from Atlanta, afterall 😊
Mastodon continues to crank out great jams 🍻
heard that too is that the actual lyrics omg
Pyrodrifter12 no its running outisde the nazca lines
layne phillips lol i was memeing my bad
@@laynephillips5912 They should've rerecorded it as "nasal lines" to fit the video. :P

This is an amazingly awesome heavy song for having guitar parts that sound like they're out of sponge filled AM radio.
this song is great
I LOVE Mastodon videos.. I have out loud "whoa" moments.
This is the track that will draw you into the unending greatness that is Mastodon.
Started with Jaguar God for me.
Holy shit Mastodon has evolved SO well..
St Alfonso they’ve grown. You’ve stayed the same piece.
Is there, like, a Silliest Video for a Rad Song category at the Grammy Awards or whatever? If there is, Mastodon should have won a few times now.
"Holy Mountain" vibes. Goosebump inducing arpeggios and riffs. Superb.
I do not know where I have missed all of this but better late than never!
Song is straight fucking fire.
I didn't know sludge could be so popular. Mastodon and Ghost are really gonna lead the next movement in metal for sure.
I just found this ...I love this

Serious Mastodon songs - lots and lots
Serious Mastodon videos - 0
This is the strangest interpretation of the song possible. I like it
never ever have i felt so good about having a Nose 😀
Playlists are hit + miss, but hearing this one was.... JACKPOT!!! Brilliant band!
This band never disappoints.
Beware ye
The Mastodon cometh
FUCK i prayed so hard for the guy to survive from this Sniffer-man(((
Scrolling down through comments and actually came across Shokran. Epic band comments on another epic band. Amazing
epic band alert
I wanted the creatures from the mud to save him, but alas.
Sniffer-man? More like NOSE-SON!
After he broke out the fucking Pyrmid Nose helmet Shit Got Real!
2022 going into 2023 and still listening to this group.
Hands down Mastodon has the best music videos ever.

have not listen much to these guys yet but there playing with primus so ima get to see them and it looks like its gonna be a pretty good show
Getting high & listening to this band is celestial. We love you Bill, Brent, Troy & Brann
Marc MacDonald amen, braah
This my new favorite vid
WTF did I just watch? = Me everytime I see a Mastodon video.
