mastodon is one of the few bands where the drums act as a melody and lead instrument

Haha, people are allways saying that the crowd in Mastodon shows sucks, but I think a big part of them is so overwelmed by the music that they just want to listen to it, I mean, it is well-structurated and mysterious music, it owns!

Wish they'd play more material off Remission nowadays, such an underrated album!

The riff that's played on the g and e string after the chorus is so damn good

10 years later and Brann still looks the same

Sad that they don't play this live anymore :( Wish they would play this anytime soon..

i do wish that they were still like this though

Holy shit. If only they still played shows like this.

Love the video...mix is horrid. This song is awesome...should be played now live today.

nice save bill!

I saw them a few weeks ago and they played this live. They're starting to bring it back.

This is my fav off of Remmission. That catch looked fake sooo awesome!!

Dude!! Did anyone see "Ninja Bill" at 5:15 ?! Troy knocks over a mic stand and Bill grabs it with his right hand and keeps hammering chords with his left !! He's not even looking at the mic stand when he grabs it ! Haha !!

Sometimes I check back to be reminded how fucking heavy mastodon was back in the day.

mesmeric

what would i give to go back in time just to go to a show like this... the intimacy... the emotion...

i listen to this when i drive through the canyon on my way to the beach at like 1 am.

that's true. the music reaches you so much that you just stare in amazement.

gods

They look really young compared to now. One of my favorite songs to melt my brain to.

Growing

Imagine being there...

What I would give to see them in their early days...

i love troys vocals on this!!

Masterpiece of love performance. Just like divine divinity.

One of the best

Beautiful work

very amazing song. i want this whole video!!

pure art!

How awesome does this sound live! Damn...

Vintage Mastodon right here. :)

I watch this now and realize how horrible the lighting in there was, but great times filming these guys all those years ago!

HELL YEAH! GOT THAT RIGHT!

GAAAAH, TROY'S VOCALS ON THIS MAKE MAH PANTS MOVE!!!!!

I was inspired since atlanta basement

Brann has the best style for metal drumming in my opinion.

Ol'e Nessie rules!

They were such a great live band. The guys were focused and angry.

Remission, Leviathan and Blood Mountain was Mastodon at their absolute best.

The whole crowd should be moving there heads along to this song, a fuckin classic. Cant wait for the new albums tour in Canada.

I wonder where Bill got his les paul silverburst custom. I mean back then when they didn't have a lot of money he had a silverburst LP that's worth 3,000$ today? He has always used it. Really has become an icon.

the intro is killer

Yeah. funny as hell:D

@donkarankauleone he's just beast like that

HAHA! @ 5:15, you see Bill casually catch the mic before It can fall over and keeps playing in the process. B-)

5:08 Troy dies T_T damn!! what a felling O_o they all feel the soul of the song INSANE!!

Come to ALASKA.

anyone notice at 5:15 that bill caught the mic stand?

@gt3stuntman01 you're a good man indeed

This video is way cool. I like hiw it looks and the sound is not that bad either. It looks like many other videos from this era. Pearl jam's touring band dvd from 2000 comes to mind. Weird kind of vídeo quality

trippy intro

Take a look on ebay,some vintage ones that range from $3,000-$3,600 in good condition.

Brann's kit is actually bigger then than it is now.

5:15 , bill there multi tasking haha

@Darkcheef He has an 82' and a 79'. The 79' never comes out on the road or so he said in this interview I saw.And another that is probably his 89' that looks newer.

Lol, it's great that they all look younger except for BRANN. That's because he has eternal youth though.

@powerage225 MOST BADASS CATCH EVER!

He doesn't even drop his pick !!!

why the hell do they always turn the bass down all quiet? its practically inaudible!

5:15, multitasking lol

@ChaoticaMortis yep, smoking, drinking, sleep deprivation, and being stuck in a cramped bus with an alcoholic,, former alcoholic, and a giant keeps you youthfull

Paiste? Really... Meinl and Sabian are the two most durable cymbals around and sound amazing. He played Zildjian for a while too...

Nah, it comes from a live DVD that came with a special edition of Remission. Kind of hard to get a hold of, so I thought I'd share the wealth. :]

Really nice footage! The audio was a bit out of touch, but acceptable.

Brent looks a bit like Layne Staley without his beard here.

man zildjian are the best cymbals you can get, the original cymbals used by everyone, even guys like beethoven used zildjian cymbals in their orchestra, sabian are descent but theyre just a zildjian knock off, although this has nothing to do with the argument. I cant really speak for meinl or paiste cymbals because ive never used them, ill always be a zildjian user

jealous

What's with the sound constantly cutting out it fucking hurts my ears!

i know right? their music was much more brutal. although crack the skye was an awesome different direction. i miss brents schreeching

Well the band has evolved from Remission.

I miss the old Mastodon,now they become too mainsteam.
