8:30 This is such fucking magic that only happens in a band rehearsal. Everyone kinda gets set up and fumbles around for a while, then suddenly someone starts in on a riff, and with no announcement or anything, EVERYONE just jumps in and starts going. So cool to see it happen with "Hearts Alive."

cool to see them practice in the bro cave just like everyone else

I talked to Brann back in 2009 or so after a show in the bay area. He joked about how this kit that he has was done incorrectly- They painted the dots horizontally with the shells of the drums in a straight line, when they were supposed to be diagonal. Either way, awesome Randy Rhodes tribute. Brann is such a cool dude.

that part of hearts alive they played is some of the best Mastodon has EVER written! So FUCKING good!

Again I say, this is why Brann Dailor is the best drummer ever.

Brann has the best hand chops man. Damn.

Gotta love when even the drummer loves Randy to that level

I filmed this.

This is around the first time I saw Mastodon. Saw them several times since then. I think this was the time when their performance was most solid. Seeing a performance with those first three albums was INTENSE. it's true that the later albums are great stuff too but I feel like this era was a peak in tight performances. You could feel the dedication they put in it on stage.

This is like the 3rd time i've watched this and to me it is just as awesome as one of their concerts as far as exictement levels go.

For me as a Follower of Bands Like Led Zeppelin , Van Halen , Pink Floyd , Cream , Deep Purple and all the other great Bands i forgot (Which all where Progressive at a Point) >>>>MASTODON

Mastodon makes me so happy that I’m an Atlantian.

woah literally today 13 years ago. It's so precious to see this rare footage of my favorite band practicing

It's comforting to know that even brann noodles around while the rest of the band tunes lol

With a little practice I think these kids will be going places...

AHA! When they played Neurosis I almost died.

Thin lizzy cover by mastodon, dear god!awesome!

Fuck, I agree. I saw them play it probably twenty times (I've seen them over 50 times I'd guess), and I'd still like to see it in sets. Still one of my favorite tunes from them.

Fuck ...this video is great for a Fan Like me ..this Band Kicks Ass so much ..

so cool, I saw them the next day play a show at the 40 Watt in Athens, GA. Now I have the footage of the rehearsal before that show! thanks!

thanks for sharing. great footage to see for a long-time fan like me. if only they'd play hearts alive at shows nowadays.

the ending riff to Hand of stone is so fucking killer

Funny how the vocals are nowhere to be heard just like in all metal rehearsal room ever.

I got excited for a second when they started playing Neurosis but then just stopped :(

they should play hand of stone live more often

Bills playing Diamonds in the witch house 8:01. OK for few seconds the one part but still. Pretty sure. He told in a recent interview it was a really old riff.

ooh, that wee taste of The Czar at the end! Always leave them wanting more.

thanks for sharing man!! Thin Lizzy´s cover is awesome!!!

Thin Lizzy at 26:30. Me gusta

I really love that simple times..

Can't be long until a new album for these guys, and when they tour I'm gonna see the bastards, I've not had the chance yet, I met brann which was awesome but I've not seen them live yet but I'll be getting tickets as soon as I get the opportunity!

Hearts Alive

Wow, brent is getting that nasty tone out of a silverface twin reverb it looks like? nice.

brann. fucking. dailor.

this is awesome...thank you guys for this...can't wait for once more round the sun

22:40 Hand of Stone!

thanks so much for the upload man!!

Hahaha it’s so random but Bron has the same exact reaper black light poster I bought as a teen in the early 80s at Spencer’s. Lol haven’t seen that poster in a dog’s age.

yeah listen to their stuff, blood and thunder, oblivion. good stuff

Emerald at 26:30!!!

ALL HAIL THE MIGHTY MASTODON

I was in 8th grade goin to 9th when they recorded this

I'm guessing you're close with the band? That's awesome, lucky you

Drum fill god

6:45 LOST

Johnny B. Goode by Chuck Berry

REAL!

Fuck yea. LOST by neurosis

This is killer

mastodon plays neurosis @ 6:15

can anyone tell me what song is being played at 31:30

@crunkalac I know right!

Johnny B Goode!

Nice little nod to Neurosis! Are you lost???

Bill looks like a little kid in this! lol

What’s this about Mastodon using Orange amps? I know Brent used a Thunderverb for a couple weeks at some point, but no. Late 70s Master series Super Leads, JCM 800’s, The venerable VH4, Friedman’s. What’s this constant crap about Orange being the “Mastodon sound”? Orange’s are dark, loose and fuzzy, Mastodons tone is sharp, tight and mid heavy. Nothing against Orange at all, great amps, great company, it’s just this “Orange is Mastodons sound” stuff is some un-reseached BS I hear constantly and it bugs me.

Where did you get this!!!!!!

The BIIIIITTT 30:38

How did Brent make that full bend sound in 11:48?

whats at 14:00 i love it!!!!!!

wait they are playing neurosis? thats pretty cool.

Brann Dailor in your FACE!!!!!!!!!!
