Legend has it. Dude's still headbanging in 2023.

[@Jermofoot]

Look she's killing the strings but my man is absolutely headbanging longer than most humans could even bother. Respect all around.

[@Kagarin05]

Funny how a major member of the band is just reduced to "that one guy" because he wasnt in the one song that got really popular XD

[@HaidaWay]

+Kagarin? The black guy?

[@Kagarin05]

yep

Lol made my day

[@lelouchvibritannia4028]

Awww. I was laughing this whole time watching that until I saw your comment. Now I feel bad :( I didn't know he could have seizures while looking like he is head banging.

[@kyleharry6758]

Most people don't know the background about the guy "head bopping" so I'll explain. Marquez is known for having hair, long hair. He went to the beach that day and that's why he's doing that. I swear he must have been doing that for a good week after trying to get all the sand out

[@Klonnno]

@@kyleharry67589 years later and still funny

[@TheEarthquake99]

Awesome video and sound quality. Also, I liked Mackenzie's viola solo and Brer Rabbit's intense headbaging. At 3:12 it looked like he had to let the blood flow return to normal. Thanks for uploading this great performance!

[@soulshiesty8186]

This song still makes me cry. I've always ended up feeling powerful after listening to it

[@Kourbiser]

man, that violin!!!!

[@ScottMSteiner]

It's a Viola!

Still awesome!

Yes it is!

Lol I love how Brer is just totally rocking out in the background...

[@skullgod7295]

Love Flobots, crowd was respectfully quiet during the performance, the violinist was amazing, guitarist was on point, and the black guy was just great lol, glad some people can REALLY get into the music these days still.

[@user-yo3io3nt3f]

That exorcism doe.

[@ThatPistOffGuy]

lol u silly 🤣

headache and sore neck

[@WhyForWhatNow]

I didn't even see till this comment, Ive seen him in other videos going just as hard 😂

[@TheMashmeister]

I know you posted this 5 years ago . but you can tell how much a message changes by a few words. you said the guy with the red tshirt and then the guy above you pete said the black guy. both you where talking about the same person. but you managed to pass your message without speaking of race.

Is head banging an instrument?

[@adeadlybeastkiller]

Felt like it

[@jheri0peaches]

Its amazing what one person can do if they put dedication to it.

[@TENRAN432]

thats what i always took the song to mean

Uow!! It was a great live performance! I would like to be there! The girl playing violin just nailed it! She was unforgettable. And so was the guy shaking his head 😁 (I'm wondering if he's ok after all that headbang)

[@leonardthompsonjr3948]

He was rushed to the hospital shortly after the performance, where medical professionals determined he had suffered a traumatic brain injury. It took him months to recover and he was advised to never again headbang but so devoted he was to his music, to his craft, he continued to vibe out for years thereafter.

[@NeelamAnandii]

I loveee thiss song :) its so real good to see there are still some artists out there that are saying something, even if its not that much :) x

[@godfreak100]

How does the guy in the red shirt move his neck like that?

[@gregsky01]

wow the quality is amazing on this vid that show was awesome

[@27jezus]

And it's still rocks after 15 years

[@PatricePoupart]

De colores is a traditional folk song that is well known throughout the Spanish-speaking world.

[@sykoteddy]

I can be like Stephen (the black guy) sometimes when I listen to music. Not that I usually do that in public but in the car have happened. I understand it looks funny or even stupid but I think a few of us have a very diffrent way to, how should I put it... live it out. Sometimes I can't avoid moving to the rythym even if it is a song I don't like. I am very sensetive to vibrations, and I fuckin' love it. Not a very strange thing though, hence that's what everything constitutes of.

[@propiranna]

i dont go as far as the black guy did, but i have the same thing were even if i hate that song, i cant help myself to keeping with the beat.

[@curlyhead_abdel8519]

"Im very sensitive to vibrations." Thats what she said.

[@JoeyJ234]

thumbs up for the synchronous dancing of the guitar and the bass at 1:25. love this song!

seems like the whole band except for the singer had a head bopping problem

[@Froppy00]

[@xrsizm]

Good way to keep rhythm

[@TheEarthquake99]

It's Brer Rabbit, from The Flobots. He's the other singer for the band; just not in this song. You should check out some of their other videos. He's pretty good.

[@KUJOSREVENGE]

Shit why didn't they just give Brer Rabbit a mic and let him duet the chorus with Jonny lmao

[@jasongraham8582]

2:05 i couldnt help but laugh

[@FreeDiddy-69]

Lmao

[@Horsbreh]

All i remember about this performance is that the drummers hair was randomly blowing despite there being no wind XD

[@kimhafer9254]

Omg i love this song since 4

[@Trowa71]

Her solo makes me love earth. And right after it, the "crazy dancing black dude's" jump after "stop" just looks cool.

[@MainahDan]

Is there a studio version of the song with the viola?

[@skatefallen15]

ah I love the strings in this one, so refreshing to hear real instruments instead of digital beats

[@bonn1771]

thank you for sharing!!

[@susubear13]

The violin plucking is called Pizzicato.

[@justaperson98]

people always say they like the studio version more cause it's more clean, but i like this kind more cause it's unfiltered and original.

[@To-mos]

This song would of been so much cooler if they wrote it with Stephen Brackett singing one of the friends in the song as a reply to the other singer. He just doesn't get much of a part as Lead Headbanger.

[@nasahomie]

hes got that headbanging on lock patterns and rythm damn hes got skills

That's one reason why I like them cus they have all those different kinds of stuff

[@bonechiller0]

He's another vocalist in the band. He just doesn't have a part in that song. His group name is Brer Rabbit, but his real name is Stephen Brackett.

[@legnasuna6892]

I love this song!!!!

[@priyanshirai1616]

Bro come back we need you in 2023

[@cotmvocalist]

To everyone...... The guy headbanging is not black. Second,its zac de la rocha from rage against the machine. My friend was at this show,it was flobots,anti flag,then r.a.t.m. He only looks black because of the lighting on stage.

[@Redh0und]

is the violin running through a mesa boogie??

[@josuevu186]

I like it so much, but I've got question when in the song said " I know all the words of "De colores" " what does it mean??, I'm from Costa Rica and obviously I don't know about your culture so if anyone can answer my question I'll be grateful with you!, thanks and regards.

[@randomrainbow4479]

Dude in the red is having an episode.

[@Snes_Controller]

I think this song explores the potential in every life for accomplishments. The accomplishments of a child (knowing a lot about Lief Ericson, making a comic book) lead up to the accomplishments of an adult (medical and scientific innovations, political position). As a person accomplishes more and more, it becomes clear whether that person's accomplishments are good or, like the end of the song, terrible. All of us can do amazing things.

[@grahamroxuk]

hell yeah man!!! all 3 bands were totally amazing!!

[@adamgore1]

its cool that they have a guy dedicated to headbanging not many bands have that

[@BrandonBoas]

Brer Rabbit and Ben Carr are apparently to this day, still headbanging and skanking on stages that no one watches.

[@deadlysporks]

ok so apparently the guy headbanging, and randomly bouncing on the stage, is the other MC. And he does exactly that every time they perform the song.

[@MC-0]

the violin arrangement for the trumpet solo was kinda cool

[@mattcoily6281]
