Mastodon - Circle of Cysquatch live Download 2007

Mastodon performing Circle of Cysquatch live at Download'07

[@greensmurf9623]

Brent: "RREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE" *sniff*. So beautifully poetic

[@saftovooey4569]

He's doing an impression of a social justice warrior.

[@benkoch3596]

@@saftovooey4569 That's gotta be one of the funniest things i've ever heard. Not only is it funny but it's so true

[@arandommaggot4963]

I swear that throat infected scream has got to be one of the most funniest yet haunting sounds I have ever heard

[@Langdon6993]

Absolutely.

[@criseriksonB0121]

Love Brent's screams..it doesn't even matter that you cant hear what he is saying..it just sounds badass!

[@fettfan91]

that's why i give Mastodon so much credit they dominated the stage even when the crowd failed epic props \m/

[@Ledface117]

that rolling riff during the strange underwater vocal part is so fucking sick

[@UnUsualGreature]

F*king brutal, one of my favourite songs of "Blood Mountain". And about Brents sceams, they were quite hilarious, yet so amazing.

[@saffalogo]

He had a throat infection and disserves props for even singing But I STILL cannot help but laugh

[@henriqlima23]

Brent makes me laugh every time I see this video

[@Opranius]

totally forgot which youtube video is opened and thought it's a performance of "Deliverance" by Opeth for the first seconds :o)

[@ThomasSinKompis]

fucking love that thing Troy does when the song is done, and he takes the bass off... brilliant

[@Rurne]

No doubt. 2007 was a hell of a year for him. I still can't imagine what the post-VMA head trauma did for him, but he came out of that year a fairly different person.

[@Dpiiiius]

BEST SHIT ON THE FUCKIN PLANET!!!!!! My friend and my gym teacher (he's hardcore as hell!!!) told me about Mastodon. This is the first time I've heard them. I'm glad I made that choice. I'll be sure to see one of thier concerts =DDD!!!

[@bjoernswe]

I LOVE this band! awesome

[@RolandSaybe]

He's referring to the one eye ball of a Cysquatch. A race which is a cross between a Sasquatch and a Cyclops. It's all within the mythos of Blood Mountain.

[@SSandheadd]

0:54 mEOOOOOOOOWWWWW!!! MEOWWW MEOOOOWWWEWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Gabriel-bt7ix]

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@LeoXmayhem2]

I've realized why all the HUGE crowds like the one is this video are all standing still....They are in awe of the magic happening before their eyes. I would probably be the same way at one of their gigs.

[@fettfan91]

saw this song live in LA! TOO EPIC \m/

[@JackKoslov]

2:32 Brent Hinds is one of the gods of rock who came down from Mount Olympus

[@Transjestermurican]

Mastodon, are gonna play at my wedding :P

[@mateuszzz7256]

no way!

[@stoljpi]

i love the wailing

[@si_quest]

best song of there's

[@LookWhatIDidJams]

This reminds me of te domination Russia video from the pantera home video.

[@deathTurgenev]

that talk box is fucking awesome

[@Elganko]

Brent is killing the treble in my headphones, but it is worth the Tinnitus. \m/

[@lankypanky]

Brent had a throat infection and was told not to perform but he did anyway and thats why his screams sound "so retarded" - mad props to him for still playing!

[@FinderofNemo]

Every fucking video of download '07, brent's vocals make me laugh.

[@MrIsntOnAGen]

aww man..brann (the Drummer) looked straight at me about 8 times at mayhem in st. louis on 7/23/08

[@estebban345]

Troy's on point, Brent sounds like a teridactil

[@JEREMYTRUJEQUE]

badass song

[@galart11]

omg they play it as good as its on the record :O

[@kerofish1]

Ugh. I love Mastodon so much, but is there a single live video of them when one of them isn't sick?

[@sambam0191]

Lmao I love when Brent sings in this

[@antihowish]

los musicos americanos es lo mejor que tiene ese pais!!!

[@Obedience]

@xXPatriotVirusXx Thanks.

[@Rurne]

I kinda doubt he will, which is sad, but then again, he's living the eccentric lifestyle. I think the VMA lifestyle slowed him down a bit, but I sadly predict that the drugs and booze are going to catch up to him. I think part of why Catch The Skye sounds so much more relaxed than previous albums is because he was only smoking weed and suffering massive vertigo for 8 months while he was writing the guitar bits... No drinking, crack, or pain pills. I sincerely hope he's not back into that.

[@Blastomath]

@Jams103 in an interview he stated that he had a throat infection the week of this venue, he couldn't sing

[@DrSpoon1991]

@ABRAsylum I know the feeling it scared the shit outta me first time round. but awesome song none the less.

[@xXPatriotVirusXx]

@Obedience He's saying one eye. A Cysquatch is a combo of a Sasquatch and a Cyclops which only has one eye.

[@Auxois]

yer he playing it perfect at almost twice the speed :P

[@LawyerNinja]

At the beginning sounds like hes bout to play "Again we Rise" lol..

[@GowbotFTW]

That's actually in the song Kidda!

[@branimirs]

what a badass intro

[@ChazCobain]

when i first heard this song, for the first second i thought it was, lol

[@jpHasABadHandle]

@lifebayne Indeed :D

[@GhANeC]

@Senbonzakura1989 Yes sometimes it also sounds to me like he's saying "one more" somewhere there. But is he? It appears he's referring to the eye of the Cysquatch in some way. Not sure...

[@MistaBojangles3]

@ToPixas Agreed.

[@ThomasSinKompis]

sic effect at the "effect" part of the vocals....sicer than on the album

[@Thinchap]

umm i think he's always used one, he's always had it on the footage i've seen. His name is Bill btw :)

[@JiriCulik87]

Great vocals at all and I dont mean just the wierd part, it really kinnda wierd (: ...and is it Randy on bass drum? If yes, respect for Brann!!

[@UncleJimmema]

Correct me if im wrong, but I think he had a throat infection and was in the hospital the night before.

[@Obedience]

Is the gesture the bass player does at the end of the video a reference to 'the third eye'?

[@SunofShasta]

Even if Brent is drunk at this show, their performance is amazing!

[@cheezyboundy]

seriously pissed myself, brent is so fuckin funny

[@underscoreisnotvalid]

hahahaha RYYYEEEEEERRRGGHH... i love mastodon and brent, but it just sounds so funny

[@georgeb32]

yeah what the fuck brent?! oh well mastodon, i really do love them

[@GhANeC]

what was troy trying to say at the end, signaling with his hand on his forehead and whatnot

[@GhANeC]

Lol. I believe he's saying "one eye" really. A reference to the cysquatch

[@PredatorSoulfly]

Hahahah, what about the look on Troy's face in the begining? xD I think Brent started to play the song, but it should've been after Capillarian Crest & Colony of Brichmen.

[@bre4dfish]

2:35, so fucking heavy I feel like Im going to fall through the fucking floor.

[@CaptainPie5]

That robot voice is so badass!

[@sul3iman]

There's no way you can hear Brent's vocals and keep a straight face lol. Great performance though!

[@ephilbin]

Troy is badass

[@Zeepokjoch]

he had some kind of throat infection at this gig, but i agree with you, it hilarious.

[@infuzor7614]

Not always dude, not always.

[@ToPixas]

@MistaBojangles3 if you feel it there is no denying it. cornrowed or not.

[@musicologist]

this goddamn song kicks serious ass...fuckin shit

[@Senbonzakura1989]

@ghoawaynetcabo "one more song" i believe.

[@DietMoney]

He was incredibly sick that day.

[@bodomatmidnight]

at 1:40 it sounds like Troy is singing under water. cool fx

[@progrockrulz]

wuts the effect troy used in his voice?

[@KimOlavFjelde]

I've heard that the predator-robot'ish voice Troy performs at the middlepart is his real voice.

[@MistaBojangles3]

oh of course not, I encourage it. I like seeing blacks listening and enjoying music thats not strictly rap. I'd hate to see my people be so musically unadventurous and stubborn.

[@ThomasSinKompis]

think you could call it "experimenting with sound".....i like the fact that they change things from the album......and why is troy looking like "i don't fucking know, sound is fucking gone", at the beginning?

[@MetalOfAllOwns]

man there alot better now.. and the bassist looks so fucking mad alll the time.... he like looked straight at me .. i thought i was gonna die lmao... at Mayhem Toronto.. he jumped up on his cabinet and shit and fucking started headbanging.. and fucking jumping and shit it was NUTS

[@ratican]

damn, awesome song, ive watched all the videos from Download fest or whatever and Brents voice does sound very "off" in most of them. i wonder what's up with that. oh well they still rule!!!!

[@Rurne]

VMA incident* not lifestyle. I've been drinking too much as well, it seems.

[@arpeggioandsweep]

Brent's voice sounds funny because he was sick at the time, i dont know the term in english but he had a sour throat, "streptococker"

[@jpHasABadHandle]

@MistaBojangles3 Ï've always wondered why there are so few black metalheads...

[@hawaiiandisco]

Brent sounds really funny in this video.

[@MistaBojangles3]

@hunnsr1 I know of Bad Brains. And I really want being shocked, I was making a sarcastic joke.

[@thrasherzach]

hahaha well said man

[@MultiEneka]

Brent is either high as fuck or juste willing to ruin the song his way x)

[@MistaBojangles3]

@screamcarl if you look back to one of my comments I said I welcome more races and cultures into metal. Some African Americans don't even consider involving themselves in metal and that's a shame.

[@zgaskell]

@MistaBojangles3 well than you havent seen much.

[@zero88777]

i think brent did a good job even though his throat infection, i mean he played anyway what a badass!!

[@radiopinkzeppelin2]

fuck...brann dailor omg

[@Darthqurashi]

lol he's like so high. he reminds me of beavis the way he screams.

[@217d3]

@mrvluna i have ....

[@GhANeC]

@saffalogo dude i could never have written a better comment about poor hinds in this video

[@TheMan750]

@unfurltheted and funny too

[@TuWylde]

are you kidding me brent had an infection and troy = amazing live ALWAYS great singer. PERIOD! DONE ! DONE!

[@masteroflicks]

I also think Thin Lizzy was as well.

[@Marol2137]

they dont deserve Mastodon ;/

[@Vincent4Life90]

Hmmm... indeed.

[@LewisTheTool]

their main influences are Melvins and Neurosis

[@Senbonzakura1989]

@ghoawaynetcabo Yeah thats plausible too lol

[@Cold84]

I don't see the point of the bassist to get a silverburst bass if none of the others use their silverburst stuff, it looks badass but it would be cooler if they all used it.

[@tomsxe]

616

[@BeyondZeGrave]

Buwahahaahahahahhahahahahaa...

[@jimmycalzon]

Looks like he's saying "one eye ball", the cysquatch is half cyclopse half sasquatch
