Roskilde Festival 2011 Mastodon Live Crack the Skye

[@jesseromano9471]

0:00 “Play Minecraft! Oh yeah Minecraft!”

[@Cigaro1887]

This song should be mandatory for every one of their gigs live

[@mistamuthafuka]

Last time I saw them they didn't play it....so sad...

[@denverdubrule500]

+Jeff Richards same... but I did get czar which is a good one

[@taliban173]

They probably didn't play this song because it is very emotional for Brann, it is about his sister that passed away...

[@nonpoint666rocks]

I feel you bro, happened to me too...

[@dylanwillis1473]

Bruce Just saw them in Chicago they played this, the last baron, and the czar. It was amazing.

[@teviscorey]

HOLY SHIT A CROWD THAT ACTUALLY HAS RHYTHM WHEN THEY CHANT

[@pascalg16]

Thanks to Troy.

[@robertdavison507]

Imagine sitting in front of thousands of fans with your mates playing drums and singing like that, with that intensity, and it's a song named after your tragically departed baby sister. Dailor is a metal God and so are the rest of these boys

[@loganbrown3565]

Incredible

[@gregsheriff5895]

She was a sacrifice for what would become the greatest album ever produced and was named in her honor. She is the mother bear of the cover watching over them while they Mastodon this plane(t).

[@scotteric9096]

Gimme a chance

[@scotteric9096]

Understand

[@splutify]

Man this should have made the Medium Rarities cut. One of their best tracks and probably the best version of it... better than the record IMO.

[@pascalg16]

The solo is better, and I prefer Troy's vocals compared to Scott's.

[@dr.amygdala6524]

I think Scott’s vocals capture the emotions better imo

[@bjorkflannigan5]

Couldn't agree more. The best version I've ever heard

[@llamasbiscuitt]

Whoever mixed this deserves a goddamn Nobel Prize and an honorary doctorate! Band and crew were fucking ON IT!

[@gagelitz4923]

"Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one her spirits too strong."

[@SrDeMaFp]

R.I.P. Skye

[@Dread_Naught_But_The_Dark]

at 4:44 you can almost fathom the gravity of the song's meaning just by seeing troy's expression.. "mama dont let them take her! dont let them take her down!"

[@Gore171459]

Robert Johnson I find that interesting since Skye was actually Brann's sister who commuted suicide.

[@Dread_Naught_But_The_Dark]

Taimir Gore I'm aware, it just makes it that much more notable since he isn't necessarily the one who should have that much of himself invested into the song meaning.

[@Gore171459]

Robert Johnson I feel. The lyrics really are pretty gutwrenching and Troy kills it vocally.

[@Dread_Naught_But_The_Dark]

Taimir Gore agree 100%. the first time I put two and two together it hit me like a ton of bricks once I'd finally paid attention to the lyrics and meaning.

[@WalangPeraFilms]

TROY FUCKING SANDERS

[@StueyDoo]

Fuck yeah!

[@jonahesty]

+CafeteriaFraiche311 TROY *MOTHERFUCKING* SANDERS

[@Joko515]

this is better than the studio version. I keep coming back to this.

[@iamtheiconoclast3]

Yes!

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Nothing is better than the studio version

[@puppetmaster8551]

It’s phenomenal, would be even better if Scott was there too but it’s an incredible performance.

[@simon3818]

Troy and brann together has to be the best combination of voices I’ve ever heard.

[@alexparadise91]

4:44 troy's scream gave me goosebumps it was so intense

[@pascalg16]

That was a serious moment but his look made me laugh out loud.

[@BaiaoDe2]

Miss those screams 😔

[@Agent-nw3me]

Beautiful song, for those who don't know, this song is dedicated to Brann sister that die when he was teenager. You can see how Brann sing/play with difficult because is too much emotional for him play this song.

[@stefanos821]

*Difficulty* my man litterally ripped through the song while singing at the same time

[@puppetmaster8551]

She didn’t just die either she committed suicide at 14 years old. Shit is brutal as fuck. Anyway this album is a legendary way of honoring her, a true masterpiece.

[@Almostfamousss]

heartbreaking song..

[@Opranius]

0:40 Godlike crowd cheering, theyve got some rhythm!

[@littlebuster8693]

the guy screaming at the start " I AM AHAB, I AM AHAB!!!!!!!!!"

[@canadakicks]

Just saw them on the Unheavenly Skye tour. Played the whole Album from start to finish. Just amazing.

[@allenred34]

One of the few heavy songs that can bring a tears to my eyes. The raw emotion of this performance is amazing

[@pascalg16]

Blessed visionary cut me with your sun The rivers ran in blood Spark fueled to fire Deep withing the endless void Searching for a sign The vessel forged inside me Watches over like the death Of the moon Strike the shepherd Sheep will scatter Mountains of despair I can see the pain It is written all over your face The screaming arrows tear through my soul In the dawn your face is haunting White ghostly dreams Weight of worlds is on your shoulders Hear the voice of gold I can see the pain It's written all over your face Desperate heathens flock to sirens Guard your heartache well Momma don't let them take her Take her down Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one Her spirits too strong I can see the pain It's written all over your face You can make it all go away

[@thomashandschumacher9717]

God, they sound incredible.

[@ProXSoldier]

4:44 Troy's crazy face!!

[@ribeirovolantes7773]

Everytime i watch this video i remmeber this crazy face.

[@Magani79]

putting meaning into the lyrics

[@MayorPrentiss]

Looks like he really feels the weight of what he's about to sing

[@pascalg16]

I love these guys

[@StephenMarlerexperience]

I absolutely love Mastodon. Having heard the name for years but never checked them out before, I bought their brand new album "Crack the Skye" back in like 2009 or whenever it was. The album blew my mind so hard, I had to pull over on the drive home from The Wherehouse. This one album was, like, half of all music I played for months. Only years later would I learn that some fans consider the album disappointing, and prefer Mastodon's earlier work. Mastodon toured in support of their new album, and I went to see them with Dethklok, who were also my favorites at the time. I was expecting a mixed bag of songs. But, surprisingly, Mastodon performed their entire Cracke the Skye album. So it was an absolutely perfect show for me! I've seen Mastodon 5 times now, and each of their shows was different. They did pretty much all of "Next time Round the Sun" next time I saw them, and the third show I saw them was a great mix of songs across all their albums, and then they did pretty much all of "Hushed and Grim" but I would have bought the ticket just for "Teardrinker" and a couple encores. Last time I saw Mastodon, at Aftershock 2024, they performed all of Leviathon. We had a circle pit going 100% of the time from the very first note. I didn't see a pit going for an entire performence for any other band, and I went to Aftershock three days and saw BB and Judas Priest and other hard-hitters. Some of the Maston shows I've gone to, they have a touring keyboard player, and sometimes they don't. One of the shows I saw, Brent Hinds had a fit and fought with his guitar tech. 1/5 shows sounds about right. Anyway, rock on. Love you guys.

[@joemommasvids]

Seeing Bran play this song perfectly in a live setting just shows how much this song means to him. It's touching to say the very least.

[@brainrunnethout]

One of their best songs, period. Best off of this album, too.

[@Cole-li7hq]

the last baron

[@RuffisInc]

@@Cole-li7hq I’d agree too, Crack the Skye is still a god tier song though...

[@robertfraser7199]

In the running for the best Mastodon song of all.

[@12_AX_7]

Maaaaan that Amp combo. Diezel VH4, Orange Rockerverb, Marshall 2203. Insane Tone.

[@Rmflucas]

Wish they still played this live...

[@ask-ingarbhn6855]

They do

[@dumpsterfyre278]

They're playing the whole album on tour this year with Coheed & Cambria! I got tickets for May! Can't wait, this is one of my favorite Mastodon albums!!

[@elestromusicgamesfun1101]

What a great band

[@guitarguy2596]

Awesome solos!

[@nadussias]

"Mama don't let them take her, don't let them take her down, at least alone" There aren't many songs that will make me cry, especially not ones from a progressive metal band that writes songs about Moby Dick and Rasputin But this is one of those songs, and I feel for Brann everytime I've seen him play this. It must be hard on him. Also this is probably the best Troy performance I've seen, he nails Kelly's screams.

[@forrestcawley4700]

Troy Sanders is so intense!

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Brents solos improved a lot in recent years

[@puppetmaster8551]

His solos on EOS and the new album H&G are incredible, solos like gigantium and roots remain are god tier.

[@ianguerrero6142]

Troy was on a another level here

[@artur1665]

"I can see the pain" sections are by Troy

[@georgemorgan9331]

@@tuomas_ Are you sure? It sounds like Brann to me. It would also make the most sense, given Brann is speaking to his sister and is using the first person.

Sanders doesnt do Kelly's part justice. great song though

[@RuffisInc]

I mean, he’s not Scott Kelly, so obviously he’s not gonna sound like Scott Kelly. Shocking, I know, but do not try and say that scream at 4:44 “doesn’t do it justice”, he absolutely smashed it here...
