homme and hinds voices compliment eachother's nicely especially during the breakdown. i'm hoping homme invites him to guest on a new qotsa album in the future.
Why is everybody coming at them and saying this performance is shit? Have you 1) Tried to learn this song on any instrument 2) played live before 3) Sang AND played these complex riffs at the same time This performance was actually incredible. Energy was awesome, sounded just like the record.
that band is so loud, i saw them at this little place and literally thought the floor was going to open up in the middle of the room. so this small room was probably not the best for their sound anyways Brent's vocals are definitely improving, he usually sounds very hoarse live still, good for them to come this far, not fully into the new album but they've worked their ass off for years and deserve the recognition
OH MAN! THIS IS AWESOME! Mastodon and Josh Homme! And thats in a small venue! lucky bastards all of em! I would be freaking right out if I was in that audience.
if i remember right, there were 3 or 4 rooms of 'concert' things going on during the VMAs, with the foo fighters being one of the 'head' bands. i'm 99.999% sure that they are performing in the same room as the foo fighters were, since taylor hawkins touring kit is gretch. who evers concert room thing it was, absoloutley bad ass performance!!! love my some colony of birchmen!
I can't stand small performances like this. I want to see this song being performed on a massive stage with a legion of thousands before them. Not fucking girls in dresses standing with their arms to their sides! I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW
vincemaster, I know how you feel. I hate acting a bit like a music elitist but watching this it really makes me wonder if even one of those people know what they're witnessing. I'm so jealous.
Hard to say. I saw them before winter and they played all of crack the skye, then for their encore, they played circle of cysquanche, mother puncher, aqua dementia, and blood and thunder. I have seen them play this in their set a couple times before that show though.
Josh sounds awesome with Mastodon, they are so unlike other metal bands... They really have something to say. So does Qotsa in their context, both bands are after something... By the way I'm going to get me the drummer's shirt! Looks so cool!
who cares if they cant sing amazing. their music is amazing and their live show is even better. seen them twice going to see them again the 10th with kylesa and intronaut.
My Two Favorite Bands come together. Planets align. When I first heard the studio version I knew it was josh. Another of my faves is on this album to. Cedric from the Mars Volta is on the song siberian divide.
I think people miss the point of this having a house party type feel, complete with the chicks guys just brought to bang., bad sound, and cramped space. Iif you've never played a basement you've never lived
@ansem533 They can dance if they want to. They can leave their friends behind. 'cos you friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they ain't no friends of mine.
ROFL THEY WERE SOOOOOO BLAZED BEFOR DOING THIS SONG! I love mastodon and this is 1 of my fav songs but at 2:56 rofled all over the floor from his epic jizzing all over the crowd.
Exactly. It's not like Mastodon really need exposure from MTV... I'm not saying more exposure is a bad thing but honestly... look who is in the audience and tell me if they are *really* enjoying this or trying to look good for the cameras!
I have a feeling the crowd has no idea what's going on. "Holy shit, what the fuck is going on here. My ears are going to explode from the awesomeness but I don't know what's happening."
What's crazy is only a few hours after this performance the guitarist/singer (the guy with a tattoo on his head, I forget his name) got into a drunken fight and got his head slammed into the the curb, nearly killing him
All those cute chicks MTV got to stand in the front row had no idea that they were witnessing one of the greatest metal bands of all time.
And featuring Josh Josh Homme. Like don't they know we'll probably never see them perform together again!?
When I listened this song for the first time I thought "this sounds like QOTSA" now I can die in peace.
Josh Homme and Mastodon can't do no wrong
1:04 cut my peanut
Josh Homme, Mastodon and Brent wearing a High on Fire shirt. This video just reached manly critical mass!
shredding riffs, screaming. all in front of beautiful women.
heaven.
QOTSA and Mastodon are definitely two of my favorite bands, I feel like this video was made just for me
Homme's outro falsettos are so hypnotic.
Goddamniit Josh you did it again and this ain't even your band. #SmoothSailingFromHereOnOut
homme and hinds voices compliment eachother's nicely especially during the breakdown. i'm hoping homme invites him to guest on a new qotsa album in the future.
Homme has such a great voice
Why is everybody coming at them and saying this performance is shit? Have you 1) Tried to learn this song on any instrument 2) played live before 3) Sang AND played these complex riffs at the same time
This performance was actually incredible. Energy was awesome, sounded just like the record.
Nah the vocals were pretty awful. Instrumentals were great though
Nah, the vocals were pretty great too. This is probably my favorite performance of this song.
Just an aside, those arent their usual amps and that isnt Branns kit.
@@Crysta1Pisto1 Brent was flat.
Fucking awesome. Josh Home + Mastodon=....... Dammit
One of the best moments of rock music in the 2000's
One of the best live performace of 'Birchmen...
My two favorite bands coming together for this banger
dat high on fire shirt
that band is so loud, i saw them at this little place and literally thought the floor was going to open up in the middle of the room. so this small room was probably not the best for their sound anyways
Brent's vocals are definitely improving, he usually sounds very hoarse live
still, good for them to come this far, not fully into the new album but they've worked their ass off for years and deserve the recognition
Mastodon + Josh Homme = perfect performance
I love that Mastodon doesn't lean on their vocals. The guitars and drums are always louder.
All you guys need to go to Vegas and we should have a Mastodon convention!!! I've never met a Mastodon fan that's half a fan as me.
Golden footage
Pure genius. All of their work. Genius.
OH MAN! THIS IS AWESOME!
Mastodon and Josh Homme!
And thats in a small venue! lucky bastards all of em! I would be freaking right out if I was in that audience.
This is the best performance of Colony of Birchmen these guys have out there
This is the best video on the internet, period!!!
By far, the best live performance of any Mastodon song I've seen.
Esto fue lo último y lo mejor de MTV en vivo es una lastima. 12 años después lo sigo buscando
I concur. Saw Dethklok and mastodon recently for the first time. Was awesome indeed.
Oh my god, you are brilliant.
Well said. Mastodon's music is the best shit out right now.
Yep, I agree.
The vox are getting better live.
Brann at 1:03 - I'm sure I saw a hint of a grin on his face. He's probably laughing at all the scenesters pretending like they know who Mastodon are!
if i remember right, there were 3 or 4 rooms of 'concert' things going on during the VMAs, with the foo fighters being one of the 'head' bands. i'm 99.999% sure that they are performing in the same room as the foo fighters were, since taylor hawkins touring kit is gretch.
who evers concert room thing it was, absoloutley bad ass performance!!! love my some colony of birchmen!
Josh Homme is everywhere man.
these guys needa be more popular not enough people have heard the awesomeness of mastodon and its pissing me off!!
great josh great mastodon
I can't stand small performances like this.
I want to see this song being performed on a massive stage with a legion of thousands before them.
Not fucking girls in dresses standing with their arms to their sides! I AM CRYING RIGHT NOW
Apparently I live in the wrong place because wherever the hell they are Asian chicks dig Mastodon.
All of them should be bowing down, Mastodon = gods.
this song is amazing
Josh has the best vocals
ONE BAD ASS BAND!!!!
I saw them at rock city in nottingham. You have to see them live. Truly a fucking good experience.
awesome performance.
mastodon is fucking amazing.
way to good for MTV. :)
Yeah you're the man!
So amazing, love every second of it
what a great band
Definitely not what I expected these guys to look like. These people don't even look like they know what band they're seeing.
ONE BAD ASS SONG!!!!
i cant believe no one is headbanging!!!!
LMFAO! I looked back and watched that and your definitly right. It looks like he's thinking "wtf are we doing here?"
vincemaster, I know how you feel. I hate acting a bit like a music elitist but watching this it really makes me wonder if even one of those people know what they're witnessing. I'm so jealous.
couldn't agree more
all three of them look good to me
epic drumming
I'd give any limb, nay, all of them, to see this collaboration live.
I SEE THEM IN 2 DAYS!!!!!!!!
Hard to say. I saw them before winter and they played all of crack the skye, then for their encore, they played circle of cysquanche, mother puncher, aqua dementia, and blood and thunder. I have seen them play this in their set a couple times before that show though.
HOLY SHIT that boy is using a Yamaha SG! Rock on
Josh sounds awesome with Mastodon, they are so unlike other metal bands... They really have something to say. So does Qotsa in their context, both bands are after something...
By the way I'm going to get me the drummer's shirt! Looks so cool!
Yes, Mastodon are good friends of Josh Homme.
Josh Homme + Mastodon = Win
The crowd is like who the hell are these guys. Still. These guys are badass.
Perfecto
you say it man
ladys luv homme
Which is why MTV only aired about 30 seconds of that performance.
This is fucking awesome! especially with josh being there...
3:09 lady in front :DDD anyone find this incredible? definitely the band on the top of my list of who i want to see live the most
What the fuck! The same Josh Homme on the vocals! IMPRESSIVE!
Let me point out my favorite part of said "crowd" lol
0:57 - 1:01
It's never not funny lol
Aight josh homme is a genius and he was on the studio version as well
who cares if they cant sing amazing. their music is amazing and their live show is even better. seen them twice going to see them again the 10th with kylesa and intronaut.
@ChriZombie It's a High on Fire t-shirt, which makes it even more awesome.
the shitty audience aside josh homme is one of my favorite musicians today and a splendid addition to this song.
My Two Favorite Bands come together. Planets align. When I first heard the studio version I knew it was josh. Another of my faves is on this album to. Cedric from the Mars Volta is on the song siberian divide.
and then he played guitar for make it wit chu with Cee-lo Green.
what an eclectic night for Josh Homme
and a guitarist in the desert sessions and the guitarist for kyuss
I think people miss the point of this having a house party type feel, complete with the chicks guys just brought to bang., bad sound, and cramped space. Iif you've never played a basement you've never lived
You sir, have the right idea.
@ansem533 They can dance if they want to. They can leave their friends behind. 'cos you friends don't dance and if they don't dance then they ain't no friends of mine.
Yes, Josh Homme is from Queens of the Stone Age
That's right, I only hope they don't attempt to become mainstream...
It's so weird seeing Brann with only one tom in his drumset.
I was thinking the same thing
IKR, and using a Gretsch drum kit instead of a Tama one. o.O
Brann. hits. hard.
Josh Homme is fucking awesome. I think he should just straight up join the band.
ROFL THEY WERE SOOOOOO BLAZED BEFOR DOING THIS SONG! I love mastodon and this is 1 of my fav songs but at 2:56 rofled all over the floor from his epic jizzing all over the crowd.
He does the vocals on the actual studio version, dude.
Exactly. It's not like Mastodon really need exposure from MTV...
I'm not saying more exposure is a bad thing but honestly... look who is in the audience and tell me if they are *really* enjoying this or trying to look good for the cameras!
High On Fire T Shirt!.
Crazy
sorry i just made a comment with out noticing the million other you have gotten. but it's good to see you know now :D
Yamaha SG 2000.. sweet lord
The crowd is making me LOL
@cerealkiller007 thank god... plus Josh Homme up there with the guys from Mastodon thats killer
wait wait wait!!! That dude has a Stevie Wonder T on..... NOW THATS GANGSTA!!!!!!
I have a feeling the crowd has no idea what's going on. "Holy shit, what the fuck is going on here. My ears are going to explode from the awesomeness but I don't know what's happening."
Is it me or do Josh Homme and Brann look really similar?
yeah
What's crazy is only a few hours after this performance the guitarist/singer (the guy with a tattoo on his head, I forget his name) got into a drunken fight and got his head slammed into the the curb, nearly killing him
