kyle dunnuck He and Bill (the other guitarist) have always done backups, and Brann did some leads on Cut You Up with a Linoleum Knife. But yeah the first album he sang leads on was Crack the Skye, which was a tribute to his sister Skye who committed suicide when he was younger.
Mastodon are great because they are one of those metal bands that doesn't wallow in self-pity and self-loathing, but instead transcend the grief. Big love from Denmark.
If you are actually a fan of Mastodon and understand the guys in the band you wont have a problem with this video. Music aside, one of the best things about Mastodon as a band is they don't take there selves too seriously and they maintain a healthy sense of humor.
This video is really separating the fans who've listened for awhile and the newer breed. The vid is dripping Mastodon humor. Best band on earth 14 years running!
amcmillionaire I wonder if these same supposed metal heads were offended by the larping in the High Road vid or Mr. Rogers and hand puppets in the Deathbound vid. Or the B-Side Sci-Fi flick that was the Sleeping Giant vid. If none of those did it then a crazed meth head running around the woods looking for tree burls in the Curl of the Burl vid would definitely do it.
I literally LOLed at 3:58 as the butt of doom rent space and time. How did I only just discover this band today?? Their music is totally up my street, I don't think I've been living under a rock the last 20 years, though maybe I have. I'm now a confirmed fan.
First time I saw Mastodon was in '09 when they were co-headlining with Dethklok, promoting "Crack The Skye". Brent was so wasted. I remember during the solo on 'The Czar', he leaned over, mid solo, and projectile vomited all over the stage, whilst playing the solo, mind you, not missing so much as a note. It was the most horrific/beautiful/epic/metal thing I have ever seen to this day.
Not sure why some are complaining about this video. Mastodon has weird videos, funny videos. The problem I have with metalheads is that everything has to be so dark and serious all of the time. Have fun y'all.
Normally having multiple members that can sing doesn't work in one song because there voices are so different but these guys voices are different but the same. They compliment each other. These guys keep putting out some of the most amazing epic songs that should be viewed as classics in the future
I like to think that these girls have been just out of shot in every Mastodon video to date and that that's what Troy has constantly been looking sideways at every time he sings for all these years.
The lyrics on this track are what I dedicate to my dear friends when they are dealing with heavy shit. I want them to know they are not alone and I'm here for them. I love this song
I’ll never look at this video the same since I found out the song is about Brann”s mother being in a coma and near death. And in the hospital Brann telling her that it will be fine and he won’t let he die.
These lyrics helped me out in the time of need. My son was born and spent 6 months in the hospital, he died they brought him back to life after 15 minutes of being flatlined. He is a miracle and this song really touches home. I really wish I could go to the Detroit show coming up, I will be there in spirit. Rock on guys!
If you like fat,gelatonous asses. Have you seen all the music videos ever made? Think about that before you make such a bold statement.I THINK the song is good but the video is extremely annoying.
What I love even more so is that when people came for the band, the performers themselves stood up and said that as a band from Atlanta, they wanted to feature people and performers from the town and they were treated with nothing but respect and love and they all highly enjoyed the shoot. It wasn't a cash in, it wasn't exploitive.
Definitely. I remember reading an article from one of the dancers in the shoot and she and the other dancers had nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. They were even asked if they wanted to dance to other music but they declined and worked with what they were given with.
I am in this video (black robe sorcerer) as is my partner (reptile girl) and I assure you everyone involved in this production had a wonderful time on set, nobody was "exploited", dancers were treated with utmost respect as professionals, etc. There is NOTHING but love in this video.
ah, that makes more sense for the video. I guess people thought it was contrived and you saying it wasn't. Man I was all over Atlanta from like 3-16 (age) in the summers. Pretty sure I committed some crimes
I remember an interview in which they said they wanted to play off the late 90's mystery/grunge/horror videos and at the same time honor their Atlanta heritage by having the dancers. Still today one of my favorite videos, for obvious reasons....

Amazing song and great band, and aside from the obvious, just wanna say I appreciate that there's ladies of every size here and they all look like they are genuinely having a blast. Just fabulous, one of my favorite music videos out there
Here's a story for ya I've known about mastodon for years. obviously, they're huge. but I never looked into them much because I'm more into punk. So, one day, my band had a gig in Atlanta. We're from ohio, and like the idiots we are, we drove overnight to get there. We played at this place called Star Bar in little 5 points (excellent club btw) Our guitarist, however, is a huge metalhead. and a MAJOR mastodon fan. We pull up to the clubs parking spot, and our guitarist starts saying "Holy shit, is that fucking Brent? Dude... That's fucking Brent Hinds (sp?) We had to let him go talk to him while we loaded in gear, cause c'mon. He'd do the same for any one of us. Anyway, not only is Brent super fucking cool to him and talks to him for awhile, let's him take pictures. But he stuck around and smoked with my guitarist and bassist. Fast foreward a bit, and I go up to the bar and order a beer. he sits next to me, introduces himself to me, and we shoot the shit for a good ten minutes. Long story short, Brent is the coolest well known musician I've ever met, and I've met a few. Now I consider myself a blossoming mastodon fan. So anyone who likes these guys, just know that Brent is super chill. I dunno, it makes me feel good knowing guys I look up to and respect aren't dicks. Figured I'd share for everyone who are long time fans.
I can corroborate that. I'm currently in Atl. I used to rehearse next door to Mastodon at this place called Thunderbox. They were always polite but brief.
Luís de Sousa I was looking, and was about to be heartbroken after it took so long to find another commenter who understood the video. Irony intensifies. Fucking rad.
Are you saying what I'm thinking? During the video I thought they were mocking pop culture, but in the comment section I don't seem to find anyone talking about that.
I get that it's mocking pop culture but you are acting like the women aren't sexy or anything Or that it wasn't unexpected The way i took it was sticking to bible beaters and throwing crude women into "sacred art" and basically being like "fuck you and your shackled and judgemental life style" It's a good video but it's not like i'm gonna go call kim kardashian ugly, or go shit on nikki manaj for twerking. Cause as much as i might not like their work, i think they are attractive. If you think differently then fine but you can't basically point this out and then act like i am a dumbass and didn't get the message or should take it as the women are bad people, or even that the stars and culture they are making fun of is bad (some of the stars are bad people but thats another story) but i can't stand how the metal community act like a bunch of stuck up smart asses and act like they are hot shit... Wait a minute... That sounds like some rappers i bet you ALSO hate.
Sorry i misclicked i didn't mean to reply to you directly. I meant to reply to a man in the reply chain. Sorry about that i'm not trying to directly attack you or anything i just feel passionate about that when i start talking about the metal community. I've listened to metal all my life but i still think it's wrong that people try to attack other people who like other types of music or mainstream culture. It's their choice and if you don't like it then don't listen to it. I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't like it if someone who likes pop, or classical or something attacked you for liking metal.
AlphaSite115 I think if you look at the lyrics in conjunction to the video it has more to do with what the world has done to ladies, being seen only as sex objects and the like... maybe I'm just being hopeful, but regardless... "if I want it I can will it" It's a double edged sword this video, the art of the whole thing - not so much mocking a culture, more-so culture in general since the dawn of time... hints the adam and eve thing going on in the beginning. The other side of "the sword" would be getting extra clicks on the youtubes for having big booties bouncing in slow-mo. Which also reflects how dire and hopeless equality feels when you ponder the comment section... Don't mind me, I'm just a lowly fem-nazi satanist who's tired of being the alter ;P
I can see what the world has done to you. I can feel the weight, Feel the weight. I can see what this life has handed you. I can feel the weight, Feel the weight. This time, this time Things'll work out just fine. We won't let you slip away. This time, this time Things'll work out just fine. We won't let you leave this way. If you want it, you can will it. You can have it! I can put it right there in your hands! I can hear what the spirits are telling you. I can clear the weight, Clear the weight. I can see all the wolves as they circle you. I can crush the weight, Crush the weight. This time, this time Things'll work out just fine. We won't let you slip away. This time, this time Things'll work out just fine. We won't let you leave this way. If you want it, you can will it. You can have it! I can put it right there in your hands! This time, this time Things'll work out just fine. We won't let slip away. This time, this time Things'll work out just fine. We won't let you leave this way. If you want you want it, you can will it. You can have it! I'll put it right there in your hands!
This song was my first introduction to Mastodon, I discovered them in the last year, and they are really great! So glad I found them, this is one of my favorite songs now.
No one: Mastodon: What if you took the videos for Until It Sleeps by Metallica and Anaconda by Nikki Minaj and just sort of slammed that shit together?
This is the most positive uplifting video EVER! If you can't get happy with booty shaking and lyrics that say "This time, this time, things will work out just fine!" , get some therapy
Dude you've got some back catalogue to get through. Like someone else has said "crack the Skye is fucking beautiful" In fact I'll happily buy that album for someone. I wish they made that easier. I think people forget that giving music as a present like CDs and tapes and probably records. Gifting iTunes £10 vouchers sucks as a thing to gift someone, anyway I'm high as fuck so I'll shut up.
Hilarious video! Mastodon and their humor entertains the hell out of me and my wife. Documentaries about making their albums are the same. Heavy, not heavy-prog, not proggy doesn’t matter. These guys are always high on my playlist and when a tour is announced, “take my money!” My wife, friend and I make their shows events. It’s what good entertainment is all about! Thanks to the ‘Don boys!
+goatface2 y'all better ask someone about gojira and mastodon.. sorry you missed it.. gojira tore the roof off and I was worn out by the time mastodon hit the stage so I just stood there and watched in awe.. I think everyone did the same thing.. also their oblivion tour was amazing.. they played oblivion from front to back and then a whole second set of old mastodon favorites.. it was one of the best days of my life...
+Matthiu Ryin No, I caught the tour, but I had no clue who Gojira was. Not saying they were bad but not what I wanted to hear at a Mastodon concert. Whish I could have caught when they did shows with Clutch or Kylesa. Still, to see Mastodon live is life changing.
goatface2 I think Mastodon is just so diverse that they can tour with bands that play completely different sounding music. I've seen them play with Opeth before and they're coming back here soon with The Dillinger Escape Plan.
Sure, America needs to continue to lower its culture....Instead of expanding its culture through science and mathematics, America should focus on Twerking and glam metal🤪 lol ok
This is still one of my favorite songs/ vids. I love mastodon representing ATL. This is what our town is all about. good artists of all shapes and types. \m/
This song holds many heartfelt memories for me. When this song had just launched, my longtime schoolmate had just opened a heavy metal bar and lounge on the island. To be honest he had just taken over ownership of the only heavy metal hotspot on the southern end of our twin island republic, only he had renamed it. It had gone through four name changes since it opened its doors in the 80's. The time I'm writing about was mid 2010's. He named the bar the Sound Cloud Pub, after the popular app. The original idea was that any artist/band/performer could get a chance to display their talents but it eventually turned into a popular hangout for us metalheads to showcase our expressions through metal. There was a stage with a pretty expensive kit always available. An immaculate 9 pcs kit from Sonor drums; (those 9pcs includes a double pedal setup, with triggers). There was also an amp for guitars readily available. One Friday night when everyone had gone home me and my schoolmate, named Matthew, were hanging out in the bar. He asked me if I was still a fan of Mastodon. You see, I had bought their first album, Call of the Mastodon based on the cover art. I honestly didn't know who Mastodon was, but the name said it all. They had to be heavy. And as a fan of prog, they did well by me. Anyways, Matt informed me that Mastodon had taken a different turn since the Call of the Mastodon album, and proceeded to show me this video. We had a good laugh. One of those laughs where you just laugh and forget about the "pressures" of life. After that, Matt became all depressed like, y'know? He told me the people he'd hired out of trust and consideration had done him wrong. That was the reason there were no more workers or employees, because he was being hi-jinxed. I asked him how long he had known me. He recounted my first three steps into college. I told him, "exactly". I told him that this bar wasn't just his dream. It was a haven for us. Metal has no place in a Caribbean society, so you made one. I engaged him my services for free, because I wanted people like me to have a place to come to after work. We became the trending joint in the small and secretive community metal has garnered on our flyspeck islands. However, long story short, all good things must come to an end. We never suceeded in keeping "the dream" afloat. Now, we rent out local bars for the night when we need to do a show, when at one point we had our own. Now there are no more local joints promoting metal music as it is considered by the majority of "Christian" sheeple to be Taboo and "Of the Devil". Anyways, this song makes me long for that time period again.
Great story mate. I'm sorry to hear that the spirit of Mastodon and metal in general has fled from your local spot but I hope those memories live on and inspire good feelings and joy from time to time.
Mastodon have always had the greatest videos ever. I was let down a little by the High Road video, but this has restored my faith lol. I like the song a lot better too.
This… is easily the greatest god damned music video of all time. It starts out all serious, using cliché, abstract, heavy metal video imagery nonsense, then gets silly, climaxing with a dramatic garage door opening reveal, ENTER TWERKZILLA!! Using the footage of her jumbo clapping butt cheeks, to make that psychedelic vortex sequence through the guitar solo, was nothing short of pure genius. 😂 I’ll bet everybody involved in making this video, the band, the dancers, and even the people filming and editing it, probably had one of the the best times of their lives filming, and putting it all together.
I’ll b honest I had never heard of mastodon until this year and it was a tragic event tht lead me too them, my 20 yr old neighbor was found dead at home by his mum, he had meningococcal septicaemia. He was a massive mastodon fan and was an amazing drummer R. I.P Karl
Everyone's talking about the video (understandable) but the lyrics are absolutely beautiful, heart warming. I've battled with severe psychotic depression for many years now and these lyrics bring to my mind many healthcare professionals that have tried to help me, brings tears in my eyes. :'-)
Okay, so I'm late to the party. Just discovered Mastadon, and they're literally the mashup of everything I love from some of my other favorite musicians. Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica, Queensryche, Pink Floyd, Megadeth, Sevendust, Yes, Alice in Chains, The Moody Blues, Dream Theatre, Stone Temple Pilots (the early stuff), Chevelle, NIN, The Prodigy... gosh I can keep going. I'm a little embarrassed I just discovered them, but glad I'm here now.
I enjoyed these songs (I mean Mastodon in general) so much during the initial lockdown in 2020. I was asked to work from office. I used to work night shifts, my office was about 2km from my place and I didn't have my own vehicle so I used to walk everyday to office listening this song. The roads were dead empty... Not one being in sight, the only vehicle on the road was either a police car or ambulance van. Office looked like haunted palace coz there were like 5-6 people in place that holds a couple of thousands. Wierd times!! But I'll fondly remembered it thanks to Mastodon ❤️❤️
I love how when the final booty boss lady enters the domain she booty slaps us into a new realm of existence. Just ripping time and space in twain with her bootylisciousness
My friends dad came over and this video was on, he grew up in the 60’ 70’s. And you could see the hope on his face as he saw rock and ass together again like the good ole days. When the Godzilla Booty mamma shows up his eyes were full of joy
Choreographer: "Ok, ladies.. 'bad news / good news'... BAD news, the Nicki Minaj video shoot was cancelled. GOOD news, there's a band that needs you for their video shoot" Dancer #1: "What's the CATCH?" Choreographer: "It's for a white metal band, and the members look like they live in a U-Haul trailer with their gear"
I thought White Metal was just the alternate term for Christian Black Metal, now I'm confused, did they cover this in the last meeting and someone not tell me?
Stephen Perry I agree. I'm not pissed off, just a bit disappointed. Ass has nothing to do with the lyric, I know Mastadon isn't supposed to be serious but c'mon...I hate when the music video is in another tangent from the lyric. -__-

ShadowCrowX the drummer has always sang. at least since crack the skye album. maybe before that too since they came out

Seriously, they're all so talented and they harmonize and jive so well together. Rare to find bands that do it so well.
It’s a shame the guitarist with the forehead tattoo isn’t featured on this one. Every time I hear his voice in oblivion I get chills.
Bro you didn't hear about Opeth, the same guy makes both growls and clean vocals, feels like a different person. Totally slaps.
They’re classic now
Check Burton C Bell 😏
I like to think that these girls have been just out of shot in every Mastodon video to date and that that's what Troy has constantly been looking sideways at every time he sings for all these years.
I just had a mental imagine of these chicks twerking in zero gravity of the Oblivion video.. thanks for that.
The lyrics on this track are what I dedicate to my dear friends when they are dealing with heavy shit. I want them to know they are not alone and I'm here for them. I love this song

This is without a doubt the best music video ever made.
If you like fat,gelatonous asses. Have you seen all the music videos ever made? Think about that before you make such a bold statement.I THINK the song is good but the video is extremely annoying.
What I love even more so is that when people came for the band, the performers themselves stood up and said that as a band from Atlanta, they wanted to feature people and performers from the town and they were treated with nothing but respect and love and they all highly enjoyed the shoot. It wasn't a cash in, it wasn't exploitive.
Definitely. I remember reading an article from one of the dancers in the shoot and she and the other dancers had nothing but good things to say about the whole experience. They were even asked if they wanted to dance to other music but they declined and worked with what they were given with.
I am in this video (black robe sorcerer) as is my partner (reptile girl) and I assure you everyone involved in this production had a wonderful time on set, nobody was "exploited", dancers were treated with utmost respect as professionals, etc. There is NOTHING but love in this video.
ah, that makes more sense for the video. I guess people thought it was contrived and you saying it wasn't.
Man I was all over Atlanta from like 3-16 (age) in the summers. Pretty sure I committed some crimes
One of the females I follow is one of the dancers and she loved doing this video
@dsfasf 😂
I remember an interview in which they said they wanted to play off the late 90's mystery/grunge/horror videos and at the same time honor their Atlanta heritage by having the dancers. Still today one of my favorite videos, for obvious reasons....
There's always a mix of "What the fuck did I just watch?" and "Well that was cool" with Mastodon videos when I'm done watching them.
How'd they pull off a video that manages to be black metal, 2000s rap and then end it with some psychedelic shit? I don't know, but I'm here for it

I've known about mastodon for years. obviously, they're huge. but I never looked into them much because I'm more into punk. So, one day, my band had a gig in Atlanta. We're from ohio, and like the idiots we are, we drove overnight to get there. We played at this place called Star Bar in little 5 points (excellent club btw)
Our guitarist, however, is a huge metalhead. and a MAJOR mastodon fan. We pull up to the clubs parking spot, and our guitarist starts saying "Holy shit, is that fucking Brent? Dude... That's fucking Brent Hinds (sp?)
We had to let him go talk to him while we loaded in gear, cause c'mon. He'd do the same for any one of us. Anyway, not only is Brent super fucking cool to him and talks to him for awhile, let's him take pictures. But he stuck around and smoked with my guitarist and bassist. Fast foreward a bit, and I go up to the bar and order a beer. he sits next to me, introduces himself to me, and we shoot the shit for a good ten minutes.
Long story short, Brent is the coolest well known musician I've ever met, and I've met a few. Now I consider myself a blossoming mastodon fan. So anyone who likes these guys, just know that Brent is super chill.
I dunno, it makes me feel good knowing guys I look up to and respect aren't dicks. Figured I'd share for everyone who are long time fans.
Cool sweet brag bro.
I met Brann while he was working at Junkman's Daughter (in Little 5 as well) - super cool, very nice guy. Took a picture with me and everything.
Bro that is great stuff 😀
I have heard other people saying simliar histories about Brent. He must be a great human besides an awesome musician. Glad you had this experience.
I can corroborate that. I'm currently in Atl. I used to rehearse next door to Mastodon at this place called Thunderbox. They were always polite but brief.
This song has helped me so much. I'm not out of the woods just now, but listening to this song helps so much. Thank you so much Mastodon
The irony. The mockery. This video kicks some mighty ass.
Luís de Sousa I was looking, and was about to be heartbroken after it took so long to find another commenter who understood the video. Irony intensifies. Fucking rad.
Are you saying what I'm thinking? During the video I thought they were mocking pop culture, but in the comment section I don't seem to find anyone talking about that.
I get that it's mocking pop culture but you are acting like the women aren't sexy or anything
Or that it wasn't unexpected
The way i took it was sticking to bible beaters and throwing crude women into "sacred art" and basically being like "fuck you and your shackled and judgemental life style"
It's a good video but it's not like i'm gonna go call kim kardashian ugly, or go shit on nikki manaj for twerking. Cause as much as i might not like their work, i think they are attractive. If you think differently then fine but you can't basically point this out and then act like i am a dumbass and didn't get the message or should take it as the women are bad people, or even that the stars and culture they are making fun of is bad (some of the stars are bad people but thats another story) but i can't stand how the metal community act like a bunch of stuck up smart asses and act like they are hot shit... Wait a minute... That sounds like some rappers i bet you ALSO hate.
Sorry i misclicked i didn't mean to reply to you directly. I meant to reply to a man in the reply chain. Sorry about that i'm not trying to directly attack you or anything i just feel passionate about that when i start talking about the metal community. I've listened to metal all my life but i still think it's wrong that people try to attack other people who like other types of music or mainstream culture. It's their choice and if you don't like it then don't listen to it. I'm pretty sure that you wouldn't like it if someone who likes pop, or classical or something attacked you for liking metal.
AlphaSite115 I think if you look at the lyrics in conjunction to the video it has more to do with what the world has done to ladies, being seen only as sex objects and the like... maybe I'm just being hopeful, but regardless... "if I want it I can will it" It's a double edged sword this video, the art of the whole thing - not so much mocking a culture, more-so culture in general since the dawn of time... hints the adam and eve thing going on in the beginning. The other side of "the sword" would be getting extra clicks on the youtubes for having big booties bouncing in slow-mo. Which also reflects how dire and hopeless equality feels when you ponder the comment section... Don't mind me, I'm just a lowly fem-nazi satanist who's tired of being the alter ;P
Finally a video clip of "brazilian funk music" with a decent music. Just Mastodon could do it!
Hehe boi
twerk metal
Caguei
I can see what the world has done to you.
I can feel the weight,

It’s like the devil talking to the suffering devoted, tempting them.
obviously talking about asses
@@soakedbearrd or just a positive song.
This song was my first introduction to Mastodon, I discovered them in the last year, and they are really great! So glad I found them, this is one of my favorite songs now.
One of the best videos in human history
No one:
Mastodon: What if you took the videos for Until It Sleeps by Metallica and Anaconda by Nikki Minaj and just sort of slammed that shit together?
You nailed it
Lol
Director: *snorts line of coke* Genius!
Woefully underrated comment.
@@NaSMaX ruclips.net/video/wb3BuqUnxAU/видео.html
Yes
I am listening to mastodon for the first time and am not disappointed
me too
Heres the same
yesss, same
same brah
+Jamie MacMillan Aw man they are awesome, all their albums...listen to the all! LOL Enjoy.
It's 2024, and this is still the greatest metal video of all time.
This is resurrecting rock and roll for me.
Anyone coming in here and dropping positive comments for one of the greatest videos ever, by one of the greatest bands ever, you're a treasure.
It's like... it's like you can feel the waves of smell hitting your face. I finally know what that guy on the Maxell logo was feeling.
LMFAO
Divine Velasco ikr! disgusting!
Ryan Kearney perfect!!!
People are capable of bathing, which based on your comment, seems like a foreign concept :0
Bigga Critta That's rad. So is facesitting. The world's a fun place.
This is the most positive uplifting video EVER! If you can't get happy with booty shaking and lyrics that say "This time, this time, things will work out just fine!" , get some therapy
@2:03 the wizard of badonk a donk fears he has summoned too much to handle
LMAO😂😂😂😂
YES!
Worship the booty but also fear the booty
@@kylep3440 i laughed for straight 10 minutes on this
the video is good, BUT THAT SONG!!!! oh my god!!!
Brand new fan right here!
Right there with you dude! About the song that is...
+Daniel Price Crack the Skye is fucking beautiful
Dude you've got some back catalogue to get through. Like someone else has said "crack the Skye is fucking beautiful"
In fact I'll happily buy that album for someone.
I wish they made that easier. I think people forget that giving music as a present like CDs and tapes and probably records. Gifting iTunes £10 vouchers sucks as a thing to gift someone, anyway I'm high as fuck so I'll shut up.
new fan here too heard this on Pandora. instantly hooked.
check out corrosion of conformity.
similarly popish end of sludge metal but with a stronger southern element. good shit.
I'm just looking at this video for the first time after hearing this song a shitload of times and this is not what I was ready for
One of the greatest music videos of all time
If you pay attention closely, you will hear Mastodon playing The Motherload ;)
Ahahhahaha i thought that
All I can here is booty
What's a Mastadon? Is that like some sort of band? 😁
Sorry. I was abit distracted.
You're right, but i had to watch it a couple times lol
Well, as of April 4th, 2022, Mastodon are still the undisputed world champion's of music and videos. Undefeated to this day thinks to gems like this.
The solo bit when mecca ho 5000 walks in gets me every time
MECHA HO POWERS ACTIVATE!
Going to name my game character "mecca ho 5000" thanks mate!
😂
Right next to the psychedelic twerk visuals
Los solos de Mastodon son algo inexplicable.
The music is really good...I haven't heard anything in rock this exciting in a long time....and obviously they have a cool sense of humour.
Ok
This song should be a radio hit.
This is absolutely 100% the ATL oozing out of Mastadon in every way.
Hilarious video! Mastodon and their humor entertains the hell out of me and my wife. Documentaries about making their albums are the same. Heavy, not heavy-prog, not proggy doesn’t matter. These guys are always high on my playlist and when a tour is announced, “take my money!” My wife, friend and I make their shows events. It’s what good entertainment is all about! Thanks to the ‘Don boys!
I’m in love with the first woman to appear at 0:44. Good lord I think that is one of the most gorgeous women I have ever seen in my entire life.
frfr
I've seen a lot of music videos in my day... This one wins.
This video brings out the black in me every single time I watch it. Sweet baby Jesus..
One of the best videos ever made , anyone trippin needs to wake up
There needs to be a mastodon/gojira tour. That would be fucking sick.
+Spencer Ware The last time I saw Mastodon they were with Gojira.
+ProgPro96 same, but... I had no clue who they were.
+goatface2 y'all better ask someone about gojira and mastodon.. sorry you missed it.. gojira tore the roof off and I was worn out by the time mastodon hit the stage so I just stood there and watched in awe.. I think everyone did the same thing.. also their oblivion tour was amazing.. they played oblivion from front to back and then a whole second set of old mastodon favorites.. it was one of the best days of my life...
+Matthiu Ryin No, I caught the tour, but I had no clue who Gojira was. Not saying they were bad but not what I wanted to hear at a Mastodon concert. Whish I could have caught when they did shows with Clutch or Kylesa. Still, to see Mastodon live is life changing.
goatface2 I think Mastodon is just so diverse that they can tour with bands that play completely different sounding music. I've seen them play with Opeth before and they're coming back here soon with The Dillinger Escape Plan.
Artsy, sepia-toned imagery... AND THEN SUDDENLY THE TWERK KALEIDOSCOPE.
In a Mastodon video of all places.
I'm... I'm okay with this.
+Fleece Johnson Well, you are the Booty Warrior, after all, was there any chance you *weren't* going to be okay with it?
This is what America needs right now.
Sure, America needs to continue to lower its culture....Instead of expanding its culture through science and mathematics, America should focus on Twerking and glam metal🤪 lol ok
@@monsterpoo Yes, that's exactly what America needs right now.
@@monsterpoo "Glam Metal"
First time hearing Mastodon or any kind of Prog, right?.
@@monsterpoo Compared to...what?Japan?Where kids kill themselves because of societal pressure and expectations.
@@monsterpoo love it or hate it America will twerk all it's way to Mars and beyond.
Women empowering each other. Men empowering each other. It's all good, this is what society needs more of.
Would definitely appreciate an in depth look at the making of this video.
Or just an in depth look at these girls' asses...
This is still one of my favorite songs/ vids. I love mastodon representing ATL. This is what our town is all about. good artists of all shapes and types. \m/
When the bassist starts to sing and there’s that cool bubbly sound mixed in....love that
I finally understand what troy is tryna put right there in his hands
This song holds many heartfelt memories for me. When this song had just launched, my longtime schoolmate had just opened a heavy metal bar and lounge on the island. To be honest he had just taken over ownership of the only heavy metal hotspot on the southern end of our twin island republic, only he had renamed it. It had gone through four name changes since it opened its doors in the 80's. The time I'm writing about was mid 2010's. He named the bar the Sound Cloud Pub, after the popular app. The original idea was that any artist/band/performer could get a chance to display their talents but it eventually turned into a popular hangout for us metalheads to showcase our expressions through metal. There was a stage with a pretty expensive kit always available. An immaculate 9 pcs kit from Sonor drums; (those 9pcs includes a double pedal setup, with triggers). There was also an amp for guitars readily available. One Friday night when everyone had gone home me and my schoolmate, named Matthew, were hanging out in the bar. He asked me if I was still a fan of Mastodon. You see, I had bought their first album, Call of the Mastodon based on the cover art. I honestly didn't know who Mastodon was, but the name said it all. They had to be heavy. And as a fan of prog, they did well by me. Anyways, Matt informed me that Mastodon had taken a different turn since the Call of the Mastodon album, and proceeded to show me this video. We had a good laugh. One of those laughs where you just laugh and forget about the "pressures" of life. After that, Matt became all depressed like, y'know? He told me the people he'd hired out of trust and consideration had done him wrong. That was the reason there were no more workers or employees, because he was being hi-jinxed. I asked him how long he had known me. He recounted my first three steps into college. I told him, "exactly". I told him that this bar wasn't just his dream. It was a haven for us. Metal has no place in a Caribbean society, so you made one. I engaged him my services for free, because I wanted people like me to have a place to come to after work. We became the trending joint in the small and secretive community metal has garnered on our flyspeck islands. However, long story short, all good things must come to an end. We never suceeded in keeping "the dream" afloat. Now, we rent out local bars for the night when we need to do a show, when at one point we had our own. Now there are no more local joints promoting metal music as it is considered by the majority of "Christian" sheeple to be Taboo and "Of the Devil". Anyways, this song makes me long for that time period again.
Wow awesome story, sorry it didn’t work I hope you get many blessings for that free work you put in 💯
Great story mate. I'm sorry to hear that the spirit of Mastodon and metal in general has fled from your local spot but I hope those memories live on and inspire good feelings and joy from time to time.
How have I gone so long not knowing how amazing these guys are?!?! There is so much amazing music happening right now, I feel like a kid again!
Mastodon have always had the greatest videos ever. I was let down a little by the High Road video, but this has restored my faith lol.
I like the song a lot better too.
The song high road wasn't all that but the vid was incredible!
Wow. To play this song and sing at the same time is insane
Opaaa!!! FLAITINGOOOO
Si biba biba
This… is easily the greatest god damned music video of all time.
It starts out all serious, using cliché, abstract, heavy metal video imagery nonsense, then gets silly, climaxing with a dramatic garage door opening reveal, ENTER TWERKZILLA!!
Using the footage of her jumbo clapping butt cheeks, to make that psychedelic vortex sequence through the guitar solo, was nothing short of pure genius. 😂
I’ll bet everybody involved in making this video, the band, the dancers, and even the people filming and editing it, probably had one of the the best times of their lives filming, and putting it all together.
I’ll b honest I had never heard of mastodon until this year and it was a tragic event tht lead me too them, my 20 yr old neighbor was found dead at home by his mum, he had meningococcal septicaemia.
He was a massive mastodon fan and was an amazing drummer

Everyone's talking about the video (understandable) but the lyrics are absolutely beautiful, heart warming. I've battled with severe psychotic depression for many years now and these lyrics bring to my mind many healthcare professionals that have tried to help me, brings tears in my eyes. :'-)
Okay, so I'm late to the party. Just discovered Mastadon, and they're literally the mashup of everything I love from some of my other favorite musicians. Queens of the Stone Age, Metallica, Queensryche, Pink Floyd, Megadeth, Sevendust, Yes, Alice in Chains, The Moody Blues, Dream Theatre, Stone Temple Pilots (the early stuff), Chevelle, NIN, The Prodigy... gosh I can keep going. I'm a little embarrassed I just discovered them, but glad I'm here now.
Same
Ya Should be embarrassed!!!!
Never to late for Redemption!🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🖖
Chevelle, yes, absolutely. Alice in Chains... Dream Theatre... And so many others. So beautiful.
@@jonrunnels4846 SO beautiful. I'm finding myself obsessing over these last few albums...
Dude check out Failure too!
3:34 When you've defeated everyone on the final level and then the boss comes out.
jajajaja
Mastodon really hit it out the park with this one. I’m glad they appreciate the finest things in life. Long live mastodon!!
I enjoyed these songs (I mean Mastodon in general) so much during the initial lockdown in 2020. I was asked to work from office. I used to work night shifts, my office was about 2km from my place and I didn't have my own vehicle so I used to walk everyday to office listening this song. The roads were dead empty... Not one being in sight, the only vehicle on the road was either a police car or ambulance van. Office looked like haunted palace coz there were like 5-6 people in place that holds a couple of thousands. Wierd times!! But I'll fondly remembered it thanks to Mastodon ❤️❤️
Sir Mix Alot must be emotional while watching this clip. "Sniff Sniff, (wipes tear) such beauty..."
His influence on popular culture is incalculable
mASSive thanks to everyone involved in making this mASSterpiece. You're all a clASS act, in my opinion. FantASStic work. 🍑
ASStodon is such a good band
This comment is quite cheeky.
The collision at 3:50 is where I think they discovered gravitational waves from!
I'm from Atlanta so it makes perfect, beautiful sense!!! I live it
Singing and drumming that can’t be easy
I love how when the final booty boss lady enters the domain she booty slaps us into a new realm of existence. Just ripping time and space in twain with her bootylisciousness
I don't think anyone was ready for that jelly
SImp.

I never knew Mastodon had a thing for black booty. RESPECT.
Lash Lethal who doesn't have a thing for that.
***** seriously!
Nicholas Fanzo yes, seriously.
Yeah bruh. they're from Atlanta I believe lol.
+darkapb1 2 are from Rochester, NY.
I really love the camera shot when the chorus plays the first time. I think that panning was excellently done.
And for one evening, all Atlanta strip clubs had to run their B-squads
hahahahhahh!!! You win the day with this comment
What does that mean?
Atlanta has strip clubs ?
Who knew ?
😂😂😂
@@Winterstormadvisory Mastodon is from Atlanta. The dancers are [probably] from Atlanta too [ in Beavis voice]... is what heathen-fxdb is saying...
Buena recomendación Cesario, sii biba biba!!

Seriously in love with the chorus, especially the guitarwork
My friends dad came over and this video was on, he grew up in the 60’ 70’s. And you could see the hope on his face as he saw rock and ass together again like the good ole days. When the Godzilla Booty mamma shows up his eyes were full of joy
Amazing! Mesmerizing! Can't. Stop. Watching.
Kinda how the expression of sexuality has transformed into a circus side-show, of sorts.
Choreographer: "Ok, ladies.. 'bad news / good news'... BAD news, the Nicki Minaj video shoot was cancelled. GOOD news, there's a band that needs you for their video shoot"
Dancer #1: "What's the CATCH?"
Choreographer: "It's for a white metal band, and the members look like they live in a U-Haul trailer with their gear"
White Metal?
@@Ragnarok540 white people metal. I got confused too ! lol
White metal = any metal that isn’t black metal.
I thought White Metal was just the alternate term for Christian Black Metal, now I'm confused, did they cover this in the last meeting and someone not tell me?
your comm deserves way more likes :)))
Nice. I love how this video is pissing off the squares!
I'm a rectangle and my butt hurts sooooo much right now.
And isn't pissing people off half the reason metal was invented in the first place.
Stephen Perry No look into "Metal Evolution" Learn Your Stuff, And Not Only To You But Everyone Else
Stephen Perry I agree. I'm not pissed off, just a bit disappointed. Ass has nothing to do with the lyric, I know Mastadon isn't supposed to be serious but c'mon...I hate when the music video is in another tangent from the lyric. -__-
The very fuckin' best metal video of all time
