He´s not just a great singer, a great musician or even a great composer. He DOES ACT and he´s also a GREAT COMEDIAN. That´s why i´m a great fan of his and his bandmates, since the now distant 1984. I had the GREAT PLEASURE AND HONOR of talking to him over the phone. I hope DEVO never retires. The world needs them more and more EVERY SINGLE F***ING DAY! ; )
My sweetheart and I saw BORN TO BE FREE at the IMAX tonight, Thursday 14 April 2011. Loved it and loved your Music, Mark. Excellent. Fight on! Ken DelConte, USC Grad
Well put. And an instrument with faults can be repaired easier than fabricating a new one from scratch. I’m a Pete Townsend fan but not overjoyed when someone destroys a musical instrument. There are WAY more entertaining things to watch. 🎸 🔥
@@Chaseoman sorry that I'm late to the party. In the early '80 Mark would give advice on the uses of Energy Domes on TV talks show's. The one caveat being never use them to bake cakes. Then he'd stomp a Dome.
And since then, he’s been composing other stuff like Summer Camp Island, the LCU (LEGO Cinematic Universe), Regular Show, The Hotel Transylvania Trilogy, Thor: Ragnarok, 21 Jump Street, and the short lived Fox animated series Bordertown.
oh for sure, I can understand that. Although I disagree about certain classical pieces (I'm a crossover musician too), I totally get what you're saying from an improvisational point of view as a means of personal expression. Thanks for the clarity - it just didn't make sense to me. I can understand lots of people dislike classical music, it just didn't quite jive with the "he's a genius" concept LoL. Cheers :-D
he's a genius but classical music sucks? yet he's a major classical composer now who's embraced it and studied it at a very high level... so I don't quite follow how you could feel he's a genius if you think classical music sucks. Just saying. He IS a genius for certain. From the first note Devo performed to the last note of his latest classical soundtrack, everything is brilliant :-)
@rnrbishop yes sure Bishop.. they were mistaken for punks for a long time but their actual background is somewhat different from punk ...punk is about rebellion and refusal of society and conventions.... Devo is something totally different, is opening eyes on what's generally avoided by common human beings .... is realizing accepting the human's status as a puppet ..and realizing that "Rebellion" only turns a puppet into an unaware one ...
Mark definitely had a punk flash-back .... in spite of never having been really a punk... I guess he repented a little after, when he tried to revive then horn .... de-evolution is this , too ...
Hilarious. Haha. And c'mon. Did some people think this was reality? Why would they film him going out into the parking lot to destroy the French horn if it were "real"? And why would the movie put up their website if this wasn't ad space for them? Use your noggin.
smashing instruments here is not intended as punk usually did, that is mere destruction ... what's done here is not actually destroying them but "modifying" them ..... ... of course a la Mothersbaugh .. :)
Mark Mothersbaugh is a GENIUS I so want to meet this guy it's unbelievable.The other Devo members are great but Mark to me is the main man.
So nice to see Mark asserting his Devo-ness.
He´s not just a great singer, a great musician or even a great composer.
He DOES ACT and he´s also a GREAT COMEDIAN.
That´s why i´m a great fan of his and his bandmates, since the now distant 1984. I had the GREAT PLEASURE AND HONOR of talking to him over the phone.
I hope DEVO never retires. The world needs them more and more EVERY SINGLE F***ING DAY! ; )
"Love Without (uncontrollable) Anger"
Mothersbaugh acts pissed off but he actually took the guy's advance. In the movie the French horns are gone and it's much more electronic-sounding.
the first time i saw mark on the FRIDAYS tv show way back in the day i was in love!!!! his humor is awesome!!!
Hysterical. This man always makes me smile. Love you, Mark!!
My God, I love this man more everyday!
This is probably the best movie soundtrack of the 21st century! I absolutely loved it!
Mark mothersbough is Mr Fix it ! Happy to see him having a good ol spud time !!
My sweetheart and I saw BORN TO BE FREE at the IMAX tonight, Thursday
14 April 2011. Loved it and loved your Music, Mark. Excellent.
Fight on! Ken DelConte, USC Grad
worth it for Mark's smile at the end :)
funny to tears! now they're flat for sure!! Mark I love you!!
I’m a horn player and my jaw hurts from clenching it so hard
Mark knows exactly what to do with a cello.
I've spent almost 50 years seeing musicians smash instruments and have yet to be impressed.
Well put. And an instrument with faults can be repaired easier than fabricating a new one from scratch. I’m a Pete Townsend fan but not overjoyed when someone destroys a musical instrument. There are WAY more entertaining things to watch. 🎸 🔥
"Too much Cello, not enough Cowbell."
Well, I gotta say, the French Horn put up a decent fight.
this man is an artiste!
Looks like somebody put that French Horn in an oven at 450 degrees... Let's see how many people get it:|
Definitely no good for putting dog food in either. 😉

LMAO poor cello and french horn! Mothersbaugh is pure genius and such a creative composer.
It's pleasant to see an unusually poised composer-- not taking it out on the musicians for a change.
mark mothersbaugh. what a guy
I like his way of solving problems.
MM...a genius!
i love him
oh mark you're so awesome.
Mark's come a long way since Devo and Rugrats.
And since then, he’s been composing other stuff like Summer Camp Island, the LCU (LEGO Cinematic Universe), Regular Show, The Hotel Transylvania Trilogy, Thor: Ragnarok, 21 Jump Street, and the short lived Fox animated series Bordertown.
His career is pure Devo.
PACC (People Against Cruelty to Cellos) is going to be all up in Mark's shit for this.
Perfect!
I actually laughed at the end. Great music, great man!
funny but next time give me the instruments
with the cost of a studio-worthy instrument being so high,my guess is that there was something horribly wrong with those ones
got to love it!,bravo Mark,put the young corporate dog in his place!
I love his sense of humor. so funny :)
Cool i'm still waiting for the soundtrack to be on sell in stores.
this is basically how artists critique themselves :P
MARK M. THE ULTIMATE SKILL !
"Yeah... they seemed a little sharp... I know what you're saying..." 😂😂😂
Behold the power of the enchanted sweater ! *BEHOLD IT* ! :)
He's the Dude. 😎
And he's currently making music for regular show.
this was staged but he trashed some nice instruments. they didn't look cheap
They could have already been broken maybe, Chello could have already had a crack in it or something.
Excellent !!
Luckily, there wasn't too much harp.
"Gimme dat harp boy." -Captain Beefheart
Play that funky music harp boy
What could be more perfect?
As long as he doesn't do that to a bottle of limoncello. You can't have too much limoncello.
Bravo!!!!!!
Man, he's been hanging with the pinks, so long, he lost all his slack.
Oh My God Did he just smashed the vilion! OMG! Holy Shoot!
PLEASE come to the next DEVOtional Mark.
and also he and most of devo, as the Wipeouters, did the music for rocket power!
oh for sure, I can understand that. Although I disagree about certain classical pieces (I'm a crossover musician too), I totally get what you're saying from an improvisational point of view as a means of personal expression. Thanks for the clarity - it just didn't make sense to me. I can understand lots of people dislike classical music, it just didn't quite jive with the "he's a genius" concept LoL.
Cheers :-D
Such a kind anger
LMAO!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Just a spud boy.
Mark Mothersbaugh runs Pete Townshend in software. It must be that Uncontrollable Urge.
fvcking awesome
I hope he gets the help he needs.
Yeah that's how you deal with it !
He made the music for Pee-Wee's Playhouse too. :D
he's a genius but classical music sucks? yet he's a major classical composer now who's embraced it and studied it at a very high level... so I don't quite follow how you could feel he's a genius if you think classical music sucks.

so THATS how you make a french horn sound flat.
Good good
if i was in the room as he did that to the cello... omg i would beat the living shit out of him!!!
when there is too much in one piece, it must be removed with brute force..
In ny we used to call Devo kiss goes to college
The french horn was flat indeed ! Are we not pins.......🎵! Akrons' finest export.
I got a fever, and the only cure for it is more cello!
this vido is amazing, and crazy
@rnrbishop yes sure Bishop.. they were mistaken for punks for a long time but their actual background is somewhat different from punk ...punk is about rebellion and refusal of society and conventions....

May I have a free cello and a free French horn please? Thanks. I still think he's pretty great, but money, huh? I tell ya.
@strokesfan1107
your RIGHT!
O M G ! What are they doing ! ^^
@kippshives who are the pinks
Not sure what that last
Mark definitely had a punk flash-back .... in spite of never having been really a punk...
I guess he repented a little after, when he tried to revive then horn .... de-evolution is this , too ...
It needs more cowbell
outstanding haha
mark ftw
ahaha. dude is awesome.
que capooo que ess!!!
Sometimes less is more?
..... he's wearing Alistar Hennessy's glasses....
Akron!!
Hilarious. Haha. And c'mon. Did some people think this was reality? Why would they film him going out into the parking lot to destroy the French horn if it were "real"? And why would the movie put up their website if this wasn't ad space for them? Use your noggin.
Lmao.
Physical wordplay making the french horn "flat"
You can take the punk out of Akron but you can't take the Akron out of the punk!
EEEEEEEEE flat you mean.
This hurt me.
smashing instruments here is not intended as punk usually did, that is mere destruction ... what's done here is not actually destroying them but "modifying" them ..... ... of course a la Mothersbaugh .. :)
real/setup
?
LOL that's AWESOME (and I must declare I only use 'lol' once every millenia)
God dammit! iPad sucks for leaving comments.
No more SHARP french horn. Now just totally flat!!!
RIP Cello. Owner Class having a wank.
Pete Townsend-eat your heart out!
HOWLS
I really hope those were prop instruments
This is great, but a) he did not "flip out" and b) why give the surprise away in the title? It totally ruins it.
@bugiewugie1234 Umm Mark and DEVO not punks?
@pharmguy78
uhhh...NO?
