This video cracks me up Its like Mastodon woke up and realized they lived in Atlanta

Asstodon is love. Asstodon is life.

Thank god everything worked out just fine.

Not a single cell phone in sight. Just a bunch of people shaking their asses.

honestly, the drummer deciding to sing was the best choice ever. His voice ROCKS! Glad to hear it in some songs

Never knew how much I needed a psychedelic booty solo until now.

Man, it must have been hard editing this masterpiece with one hand

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.

Can you imagine them storyboarding this? "Yeah, and right before the solo the door opens and in walks...the twerk boss!"

This gave me a Mastodong.

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.

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 lost my shit when the solo started and the ass fractals started spinning. Whoever decided to put that in there was a goddamn genius.

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.

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.

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

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?

Mastodon, please never take anything seriously. Thanks from us all.

It's 2024, and this is still the greatest metal video of all time.

3:50 A twerk so glorious, it deserves it's own guitar solo

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.

If you pay attention closely, you will hear Mastodon playing The Motherload ;)

This is what every metal band wishes they had in their audience.

Finally a video clip of "brazilian funk music" with a decent music. Just Mastodon could do it!

Man I can't imagine how difficult it must have been to learn how to sing and drum at the same time.

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.

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.

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

Was not expecting this. Came for the beats surprised by the cheeks.

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 is without a doubt the best music video ever made.

I used to listen to this as well as many Mastodon songs while my dad was receiving from cancer & im thankful to say, this time this time things worked out just fine… father is still with us. Good music motivates & brings folks together. Thank you Mastodon.

I actually laughed out loud when the hypnotizing booty started twerking during the solo animations

The irony. The mockery. This video kicks some mighty ass.

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

mASSive thanks to everyone involved in making this mASSterpiece. You're all a clASS act, in my opinion. FantASStic work. 🍑

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.

And for one evening, all Atlanta strip clubs had to run their B-squads

This is absolutely 100% the ATL oozing out of Mastadon in every way.

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.

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 am listening to mastodon for the first time and am not disappointed

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.

One of the best bands EVER...

I never knew Mastodon had a thing for black booty. RESPECT.

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.

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.

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.

During the making of this video Brann was drumming using three sticks...

I love how the video starts as some deep and symbolic metaphor just to escalate in random twerking excesses lol

The very fuckin' best metal video of all time

This song should be a radio hit.

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"

So this is my first mastodon song I've listened to. And I've got to say, it won't be my last.

I bet when the dancers showed up to make the music video they were expecting trap music

03:18 The Winner in my eyes 😍

I wish Beavis & Butthead were still around... I'd love to hear their take on the music video to this song lol

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!

Mastodon: "Mixing the unmixable"

One of the greatest music videos of all time

The type of a video that whenever another person enters the room, you rather switch to porn because it is easier to explain...

There needs to be a mastodon/gojira tour. That would be fucking sick.

Time to lock my door before I watch this again.

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.

This is what happens when you double book a place for a video shoot. And by the looks of it, Mastodon and Sir Mix-A-Lot got confused whos using which film clips for their music video.

The solo bit when mecca ho 5000 walks in gets me every time

Man I remember the controversy when this video came out 8 years ago, now no one cares because it's fun an awesome

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

Nobody should be complaining about Heavy Metal and big booty.

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.

Los solos de Mastodon son algo inexplicable.

Wow. To play this song and sing at the same time is insane

This is the one and only time twerking has been metal.

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....

I enjoyed these songs (I mean Mastodon in general) so much during the initial lockdown in 2020. I was asked to work from office as i was a mission critical resource. 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 ❤️❤️

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!

" ok ladies your going to twerk for mastodon" " who?"

The guitar solo was an L Ass D trip

We need more music videos like this

This is what America needs right now.

Seriously what did they smoke when they came up with this

3:58 Me when I stand up too fast

Aqui escuchando el tema porque el cesarito ya se curooooo 😂😂😂

This could only have come from the mind of Brent Hinds

can you guys please continue making music videos with black girls this shit is revolutionary

How has this video not won an award booty booty booty. Fricking love mastodon 🤘❤️🤘

Mastodon really hit it out the park with this one. I’m glad they appreciate the finest things in life. Long live mastodon!!

@2:03 the wizard of badonk a donk fears he has summoned too much to handle

Why am I not seeing this video until 2020? Do better algorithm.

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 caught my 13 year old son watching this. That's my boy.

3:34 When you've defeated everyone on the final level and then the boss comes out.

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

After watching this my grampa made wine from water.....

I’M ADDICTED TO THIS SONG

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!

Artsy, sepia-toned imagery... AND THEN SUDDENLY THE TWERK KALEIDOSCOPE. In a Mastodon video of all places. I'm... I'm okay with this.

I remember my first reaction to this video haha "nice! Looking good...wait...wait what?...whoa whoa, wait a minute! what the???" I laugh so hard at the guitar solo

Vengo aquí por el Cesarito :)

One of the best videos in human history
