Mastodon - Jaguar God II

[@Beiskraft]

This solo is the most beautiful thing I've heard in my life. I probably listened to it more then a 1000 times lol.

I'm agree with you

[@aafisher100]

Brent is a beast!

[@Anonymouspersonfrommichigan]

What makes jaguar god such a fantastic song is that the transitions from one part to the next give the song the feeling of a journey. The last part completes the circle by bringing it back to the beginning, more or less. No middle parts, no journey. One of the best songs to do this is suppers ready by genesis. If you don't have all parts, you don't have the song. Same with jaguar god.

[@johndee4018]

THANK YOU ...im obessed with brent hinds parts of this song

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Same here! Thought it would be a cool edit for a few fans out there. With all due respect to the original song and the band as well!

[@davidbays6717]

alex infante clandestiny for me, his vocals are superb on it.

[@dravenbbs66]

This version is awesome.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Glad you like it!

[@CashWiley]

This version should've been on Cold Dark Place. Nice work.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Haha, that would have been interesting. I enjoyed the EP.

[@hitskin666]

Agreed on both points

If only KZbin had a repeat button, would save me a lot of hassle... been listening to this for 3 straight days, can't get enough!

[@pejjxart9331]

use the youtube music app..its free and you can repeat for eternity

[@dangoldsmith8905]

Cold Dark Place is coming in the mail today. That will complete my Mastodon collection :)

[@perelapouc]

TROP BIEN!

[@zachiswayposi1]

Man, that transition into the solo was spot on.

[@UltraVert]

Like this version, thanks for the up!

[@Malahat]

I'll always skip back to the intro cause i wanna hear it twice cause its so good, before i hit into the heavier parts, this is just to fucking awesome, thanks for doing this!

[@noshok7436]

Me too! So good.

[@michelfingado202]

Very nice, beautiful actually.

[@luiiizzzlouco9237]

Ficou realmente bom meus parabéns !!!!!!

[@TheGaliffrey]

Wonderful and impressive mix. Good job my friend.

[@1lukarioz]

I dont know if im crazy. this is all info i have mixed up from a research i did ages ago: Brann lost his 14yo sister to suicide by consequences of living on an abusive household. Crack the sky is a direct reference to her, but i deeply believe Jaguar god is an emotional journey of how guilt can fuck you up after not being able to help the closest to you and the will to continue living for them. I've seen my sister trying to commit suicide and also lost close friends to drugs and this song is a 1:1 replica of how i've felt on my lowest and highest. I cant stress how much i love Benn's part. Im just so happy they have each others to support themselves and how much they love each others.

[@casshern34]

Bow with perfection.

[@lordstarbreaker]

Kinda reminds me of Pink Floyd, great edit :)

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Thank you!

[@vihj2206]

Thank you so much #TheBryBry! I loved Jaguar god from the first moment I heard it, but the reason I loved this song so much are the parts u have combined into this composition. Ive waited for this since the album was released and I think u did astonishing work on this. In my opinion the intro and specially the solo in the end is pure musical perfection from Mastodon. Great work!

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Thank you! I'm happy to share these moments with other fans! Thanks for the comment!

[@RyanJamesOfficial]

Very nice mix. Great job

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Thanks. I had a feeling some people would like this side of the song!

[@ArvelleWhitaker]

I love this version too. Especially when i want to play along with the shorter version

[@jessiegarcia9410]

I'm really hoping the new e.p. that comes out next month is more like this.

[@CaptainChocolatePig]

It is :)

[@juicebocZ]

Oh fuck is it ever

[@benroth1588]

Did it meet your hopes?

[@ConeTheBoss559]

And I hope that he next album resembles Remission/Leviathan/Blood Mountain more.

[@theenigma6160]

This is unofficial? This is brilliant.

[@egorsozonov7425]

I've just found out yesterday that Jaguar God was written by Brent for Cold Dark Place, and Toe To Toes was an Emperor of Sand song. Brann talked Brent into switching them.

[@Iggxzy]

wow, just great

[@JoseRosas-pp5mo]

#TheBryBry wow I speak Spanish I just wanted to tell you that it is the mastodon song that I like the most and you did it even better thanks

[@diegorosasalvarez4437]

fucking binner juaz juas

[@profile1251]

this is a song with words and also music ,guitar

[@YeOldeMachine]

Good mix. I'd like to have heard a heavy breakdown or chorus in between the verses.

[@MegaLotusEater]

Yes agree. It needs something between the two verses. Even if it's just a few bars of the verse riff without vocals.

[@leandro.paulasantos4313]

Not Jaguar God II, half Jaguar God. I mean, I get not all the changes, progressions, make sense but that is part of life, don’t you agree?

[@brettjackman6901]

I wish you hadnt butcheted the best outro of alltime with the vocal overlay but this is an awesome edit..

[@outerdimension7276]

the only thing I didnt like about the new album was that brent didnt sing enough.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

It's all good - gives us something to look forward to!

[@shaunrevell5594]

@@xBigSurMoonx Sadly he sang even less on H&G. Hope we get more Brent vocals on the next one!

[@Kondzio717]

I understand what You have wanted to achieve here, for me however this particular song without heavy moments feels incomplete somehow.

[@aSmashingTime]

I greatly prefer this version!

[@xBigSurMoonx]

I enjoy it as well!

[@ashleyjackson8538]

It reminds me of Planet caravan , the Pantera Version.

[@Lic.gallardo777]

Ashley Jackson yeahh pantera 👏

[@lucasbenedito8184]

É legal, mas pra mim tirou a melhor parte, que é aquela progressão em que o riff muda. Pra quem leu a letra, percebe como esta é uma cançar ímpar no álbum. O Mastodon sabe como trabalhar a ideia do conceitual.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

I understand, but most of the negative comments are coming from the perspective of what people think the artist wanted to do and how it should be perceived by the perfect fan. We all view art in our own ways whether it be lyrically, instrumentally or otherwise. There should be more comments about the sound and what the sound means to the individual. Otherwise, it comes off as if people are suggesting that I either listen to the music their way or not at all. This is what I enjoyed and that's all that really matters. I would suggest that part of what helps musicians grow is when someone hears something in particular and integrates that sound into their own style. When people suggest that I took the best parts out of the song, I don't disagree. Although, I would say that type of comment is subjective. They may be the best parts to you and the majority, but I'm not even here to debate that in the first place. It's just an edit. People should understand that although their comments makes sense to them, to me it's as if someone is saying that I cannot take what I like from a song. I'll use that logic in two cases. The first case would be influences that Mastodon has cited throughout their career. Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd and many more. Mastodon has used their styles in their songs many times, but they have not used every style those bands have created. I wouldn't criticize them for using some pieces of other bands creations and using it in their own way. I also wouldn't criticize them for omitting the other styles from their songs. The second case would be during one of the greatest moments in films. When Wayne's World used Bohemian Rhapsody during the famous head-bang scene, they play what might be considered most people's favorite part of the song. They head-bang during a climax in the song, but they didn't play the beginning of the song - nor did they play the end of the song. This second case could be used with many other examples. When the radio plays Freebird, but doesn't play the 9-minute album version. Hope you understand. Thanks for the comment!

[@lucasbenedito8184]

My english is bad, but i hope that you understand me. I totally agree with you, what i said is just an impressions that i had about the music. It's interesting the way that you used, for example, for justify the use of specify parts of a music in shows, films, and other things. In the end, we all conclude that Mastodon is a great band and make grow a different felling in each one.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Thanks for the comment. I did generalize my response to you and with that I do apologize. I was speaking more to some of the other opinions I've seen from others, not necessarily you. Thanks for understanding and I agree with you!

[@Carascoroscovaldo]

Ele tirou a melhor parte que é a parte em que o Brann Dailor canta. O motivo de eu gostar tanto da música é justamente quando ele canta.

[@neonafterdark4208]

Cool mix of the song.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

Thanks! Enjoy!

[@RobMonte]

Butchered masterpiece is the new name of this lol

[@trongtran9978]

Im fucking at 3:29😂

[@MegaLotusEater]

It needs a few bars of instrumental between the two repeated verse parts, just to separate them. The repetition is a bit abrupt as it stands. Nevertheless, very nice. Thanks for doing this. The heavy part is decent but doesnt quite work imho

[@xBigSurMoonx]

I would have included more but there isn't much that I could pull from the song without disrupting the pace. Thanks for the advice and the comment!

[@timcorkern]

Third is a way more chill version if yer trashed/drunk/on drugs 🤣🤣🤣

[@Szweminek797]

Anyone got remix stems for this song? Or any Mastodon song other than Curl of the Burl or Colony of Birchmen?

[@footlongfabo]

Sounds like he says “they say I ain’t bad, on the best day I’ve had”. As if he’s dying from cancer. Makes more sense anyway

[@whippedcream1795]

the thing that makes the original quality is all the parts together, you've basically just watered it down and made it repetitive. We all know these guys can create beautiful music thats why they are the ones writing it. Still you did a nice job cleanly piecing it together.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

I respect the original version, too. I made this edit out of curiosity to see what it would sound like and I enjoyed the outcome. I thought I would share it to see if anyone else would enjoy listening as well. I agree with with you even in an extreme perspective as I often prefer to listen to an album in it's entirety or not at all. Other times I enjoy just the breakdown or solo within a song. In this case I chose these moments. This bit wasn't to suggest the original isn't quality, it's just an alternative look. I'm certainly not trying to write anything. Thanks for the comment!

[@whippedcream1795]

Theres a little tech wizard in you waiting to get out! If it's not already your profession

[@xBigSurMoonx]

I appreciate the comments. Thanks!

[@ssosso79]

Is this song about the residual guilt aquired for doing a dirty deed? Then reflecting on that guilt? Reliving the moment and unable to escape the guilt while observing the outcomes of your action?

[@ivanyiattila3547]

This version so great, but the original album version is greater.

[@backupoperator]

Jaguar god, but all epic was deleted

[@corvinus5182]

I love the original. This version is totally watered down. I'm sorry but Mastodon in not about even tone to a guitar solo. It's about transitions that's why they usually have 3 if not more in a song. I understand your idea and desire, but that's like saying "I only like the cheese and bread on a supreme pizza"

[@metalehead95]

wtf lyrics though

[@Holagrimola]

nooo you skipped the best part D:

[@diogenesofsinope..]

I dont understand how anyone can think this version is better lol. Terrestrial fire burning from underground!!!!

The other version is better.

[@andym28]

Mastodon are like The Mars Volta. Amazing band but they are at their best when they play more simpler songs.

[@phantommartyr5069]

Agreed man, their "floatier" songs are what I go to 👌

[@thathandleistakentrythisone]

Lmao you took out the most Mastodon parts out of the damn song. You should produce their next album!

[@xBigSurMoonx]

It's not for everybody.

[@GordonTaylorThomas]

thumbs up if u drunk with a court date comin up

[@Fr3akymet4l]

Thanks for this! I think the heavy part destroys the song completely.

[@xBigSurMoonx]

I enjoy the original, but these parts really pulled me in!

[@footlongfabo]

Totally agree. Every time this intro ends I just skip the rest of the song

[@truthisbest]

Why even listen to Mastodon if all you want is the clean tone?

[@corvinus5182]

Can't disagree more. The point of Mastodon is the transitions. It allows each band member to shine in their way. If you can't understand or appreciate that Mastodon is not for you.
