Cannot be more epic than this: Band: Mastodon Album: Leviathan Song: Megalodon Lead Singer: A Cave man Back up vocals: A cross between a Pterodactyl and a dying smilodon.
"Your mastodon " lol!! I saw them with dillinger and ever since have loved everything they put out because their growth as musicians and song writers is incredible. Being a guitarist and drummer for 3 decades this band has always delivered, especially inspired
Everytime i watch a live mastodon video, i have hope that they'll sing well, or even just decently. Never has that wish been fulfilled. I still love them though.
these guys are so exciting to see live and this song is killer in the sense that it has so much different stuff going on in it..hope I get to see them next month!!
I think Brent's vocals can be excused here as I believe he had a pretty bad throat infection at the time. Imagine just how painful it has to be to do screaming vocals while your throat is burning with bacteria.
One thing here is Brent isn’t trying to conserve anything or save face. He’s going for it and blowing his voice out as he does it. That’s metal as fuck.
Haha! Brent sounds hilariously amazing, It's like he has two voices! It's terrifying! At least they didn't cancel the show like gimps because of it :D True rock band! xx
I have heard brent was suffering from some strep throat like illness, making it painful for him too sing. But instead of pussying out, he became a troll and growled his way threw the setlist, blowing all the minds in a 10 mile radius in the process.
If you watch the entire show it sounded like Brent’s amp may not have been working correctly during the first song. Maybe that’s why he decommissioned it at 2:05
I love how it looks so casual like a bunch of bands just went like "hey let's put up a stage" and they happened to be the best metal bands in the world
@81Knucklehead Did you not notice that they played the song damn near perfect in a live setting? Mastodon have NEVER been a band with great live vocals, but if you look past that, they're amazing live. Seeing them on the final show of the Crack the Skye tour cycle was incredible. A live performance will never sound cd quality in every aspect because it's just that...a LIVE version where things aren't always perfect.
Everyone who keeps giving their two cents about Mastodon's vocals, bear in mind when they first formed none of them wanted to sing, which is why they had a frontman. Eric Saner. Who left the bad right before a big tour. So they needed someone to "grunt or something" as Bill said, so Troy and Brent stepped up.
Are you sure the guitar bill is using right now is the First Act Custom? Because last time I checked First Act Co.'s website Bill's custom guitar had a silverburst finish, and it was a 9 string. I think Bill's using his Yamaha guitar here.
Dude had a throat infection during this performance that's why it sounds so jacked up. He did his best and even though he was probably sick as all fucked and hopped up on an insane amount of meds, he still bailed his shit perfectly.
it's a incredible coincidence that a band called Mastodon, playing a song called Megalodon, has a pterodactyl on the vocals at 2:47.
Pqp hauahuaha
Mastodon band
Leviathan album
Megalodon song
Pterodactyl vocalist
.... ok
Fan of Mastodon. Dont get me wrong
Lol you made my day 😂😂😂
Haha you are fucked up. He was sick during the show. Wear your mask next time you watch this. COVID been around for a long time.
Still the best mastodon comment on the internet, after all these years
Cannot be more epic than this:
Band: Mastodon
Album: Leviathan
Song: Megalodon
Lead Singer: A Cave man
Back up vocals: A cross between a Pterodactyl and a dying smilodon.
Drummer: Octopus
@@Piece-Of-Time I hope this one at least has friends
@@Kalibre97he’s the ruiner so probably not
@Kalibre97 @Piece-Of-Time these 3 comment replies are so funny I cannot stop laughing
@@Kalibre97 octopus has no friends :)
Not sure if Brent needs a doctor for his voice, or an archaeologist to authenticate his prehistoric screeching.
Or just some cold medicine.
Been around for 21 years now. Not 1 bad album.
Love emperor of sand
Definitely would dissagree but the band rocks nonetheless.
U what 😆
Straight facts, most of their albums sound different but they all fuckin kickass.
Straight up. If u think they have a bad album u just don't fuckin get it my dude.
I bet it would take forever to get a beer at a show like this.
2:47 this makes me the happiest person in the whole world
lmao im right there with you
It’s tasteful trash. God I fucken love it
Holy shit who knew a throat infection could somehow make Brent's voice even cooler
I respect Brent going up there and giving it his all even though his voice wasn't doing so well.
when brent punts that marshall into the next realm at around the 2 minute mark it always brings a smile to my mug
2:05
me too, man haha he's havin fun!
brent is love
Brent is life
Brent channelled a Pterodactyl
Axiom Ape Brent's throat is secretly a colony of cats with sandpaper dildos planted in their intestines.
This is my Mastodon, when they literally had minimal vocal talent. Just 4 dudes on a mission with a ridiculous amount of passion.
What are you talking about? Troy always had massive vocal talent
And smoking tons of crack. One of the best live performances ever man.
Their improvement is amazing too. Went from writing epic metal albums to writing epic metal albums that win Grammys
And acid. Don’t forget about acid.
"Your mastodon " lol!! I saw them with dillinger and ever since have loved everything they put out because their growth as musicians and song writers is incredible. Being a guitarist and drummer for 3 decades this band has always delivered, especially inspired
On the drums, Randy Rhoads...
Kevan Dalzell #BrennRhoads
Polka dots haha
Branndy Rhoads
Brent's throat infection made this so much more epic
Man, Troy is such a beast on bass. 🙌
Mastodon are the best. Awesome riffs, brutal vocals and awesome drumming.
Brent sounded like the waterboy when he screamed. I love this band.
Brent screaming like a dying cat with a sore throat!!...FKNG Epic performance 1:12..LMFAO!!
god the riff after the chorus with the quick drum with fill is the best shit ever
the best banjo sounding solo ever. it inspired my own style
Everytime i watch a live mastodon video, i have hope that they'll sing well, or even just decently. Never has that wish been fulfilled. I still love them though.
Am I the only one Who find this performance good as fuck with balls that Mastodon had in the past ?
2007 seemed to be a great year for Download festival.
i've seen several vids of many bands and the crowd was insane in all shows.
2:05 AMP fine tuning.
This song has killer intro \m/
these guys are so exciting to see live and this song is killer in the sense that it has so much different stuff going on in it..hope I get to see them next month!!
You get to see them?
I think his voice is still insanely awesome with it!
Anyone else hear Brent add in the slight discordance of tone in some parts for live brutality sake? Fuckin A+ entertainer, real talk.
no that's actually what he sounded like in early mastodon
he was doin what he could and leaning into it a lil bit yeah
What a video. I still remember the first days on TH-cam looking for gems like this and feeling good to look at several times ✌🏻
I think I love Brent infinitely more for all the videos from Download.
MAN CRUSH.
I think Brent's vocals can be excused here as I believe he had a pretty bad throat infection at the time. Imagine just how painful it has to be to do screaming vocals while your throat is burning with bacteria.
Whats more badass than a polka dot drum kit!!! love mastodon
moshpits are the absolute most beuatiful thing i have ever seen when it comes to music
2:05 FUCKING AMP! ^^
One thing here is Brent isn’t trying to conserve anything or save face. He’s going for it and blowing his voice out as he does it. That’s metal as fuck.
When you have a Neanderthal and Pterodactyl on vocals, it’s just life-changing
Haha! Brent sounds hilariously amazing, It's like he has two voices! It's terrifying!
At least they didn't cancel the show like gimps because of it :D
True rock band!
xx
I love how Brendt freaks out at 1:10
this is such a well put together song i think. probably my favorite from leviathan. i love it.
I have heard brent was suffering from some strep throat like illness, making it painful for him too sing. But instead of pussying out, he became a troll and growled his way threw the setlist, blowing all the minds in a 10 mile radius in the process.
This is such a badass song.
It's even more badass live.
and Mastodon is badass btw.
that's a winning combo.
they've come a long way since this. New Brazil video is excellent .
Those circle pits are awesome
KILLER Band , The BEST Metal Band !!
Jimi Hendrix best band of all time
Kvng Christian wouldn't say that, technical skill isn't the one factor
AMAZING song
One of my favorite Mastodon songs!
It really is...
I saw one at the Gibson Custom show by my house the other day...
About 4 grand.
I was there. Awesome.
the best song on the album
saw that song live
GREAT
sweet song
If you watch the entire show it sounded like Brent’s amp may not have been working correctly during the first song. Maybe that’s why he decommissioned it at 2:05
I wish I could go back to when I first saw this video
i think that 2:49 should be just repeated on loop forever and used as a military torture device
absolutely brilliant :D
cannot. stop. listening.
that headbang at 1:10 ...... EPIC
Saw these guys at Mayhem 2013 in Auburn. They put on a hell of a show.
hell yeah!!! and the speed-up after is soo good to!(=
This kicks so much ass on so many levels.
Brent's vocals were so gnarly around this era lmao
@KoreXocution It was only at Download 07 where Brent had a throat infection. He doesn't bring the band down at all!
I wish i could have seen that show
God this is amazing.
Ironically enough, that crappy screaming was perfect for the song
Great band
he does have jazz roots, i love the way he plays
12+ years later this shit still RRIPPPPPPPSSSSS
I love how it looks so casual like a bunch of bands just went like "hey let's put up a stage" and they happened to be the best metal bands in the world
I love Mastodon, they are fucking awsome!
@81Knucklehead Did you not notice that they played the song damn near perfect in a live setting?

yeah man
Oh wait! I can hear the Bass! Omg
Nonstop insanity
seeing mastodon at sonisphere next weekend :) guna be awesome
3:40 "'Ey yo Troy, Ima use yo' mic, cool? cool."
I so don't remember this concert bein' so good, but I'm fuckin' LOVING it now.
my favorite mastodon song, used it in my band name
I love mastodon and they kick monster ass times 10000 but to make them even more metal...brent NEEDS to record one song while sick it would sound epic
I have the full video of Mastodon from download. I don't know if they more than those songs.
Yep.
I wish all the real Mastodon fans would all go to one of these and just have a sick crowd and give them what they deserve.
I quite like Brents vocal performance, it's pretty funny and makes the show even more enjoyable and unique.
@gaspar052991 oh i know, can't wait to see em in atlanta in december
Oh God, I missed the kitten sound :-D
Butt man To me, it's always sounded like a screaming pterodactyl.
awkwardpizza
xD
I always called a grandma screaming at the guy who just took her purse.
Dylan Willis called it a grandma (on mobile can't edit)

@81Knucklehead I've seen them live three times and they rocked! You must have seen them on an off-night or something.
Always been a solid band, the only things that got better were Troy's vocals and Bill's hair
Country & western breakdown!
Yeah it is it has the yamaha headstock
wow like 2000 people and only 20 are actually going nuts like they should be...
WOW
songs epic
I love that bit. The first time I heard it it physically made me look up confused :P
man i miss old mastodon
MEGA!!!
brents screaming @ 2:48 sounds like demons are being released from hell
I love Brent's guttural squelchy voice.
I want all of their instruments.
I have that exact same silverburst Gibson Flying V! I'm a pretty big deal.
this video didnt' give bill much love
