MUTEMATH - Burden and Interview (Webisode)

[@JeremyGTI04]

When they play that song live, you don't only hear it... you feel it too! Literally...

[@TONEDEAFSOUND]

Such a Good Drummer!!! I love how he shows that you can be good at drums with out freakin double base drums and crap!!! love it!!

[@JABRRD]

THESE GUYS ARE SO SICK...ONE OF THE TIGHEST BASS & DRUM COLLISIONS IVE HEARD. IF YOU HAVENT SEEN EM LIVE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR. I BEEN TO 6 SHOWS AND THEY NEVER GET OLD.

[@DJDeon0]

It's such a Burden that the OG band is no more... thanks for the incredible legacy and inspiration♥

[@fizzgigify]

These are my favorite Mutemath songs. The ones where the band seems to just be jamming together and Paul is using his voice more as a part of that instrumentation than as a centerpiece. Reset and Obsolete are my favorite mutemath songs for that reason.

[@cdoconn]

I've always loved the demo version of Burden that played in front of this track. It is raw, unhinged and just pure Mutemath. Would love to get an official release one day!

[@jevan1]

I spoke with Paul Meany before a concert back in October. He told me about Darren's audition for the band (after Earthsuit broke up). They met up in a church and Darren got on the drum kit there. During the course of the audition he not only broke the church's sound system but also every single drum head on the kit. He was accepted on the spot. True Story.

[@funkyjim]

the first thing he says, '...neither of them have been true.' is such a great statement.

[@rem2329]

I was moved by this... My heartbeat was moved by this.. Snapped back @ about 8:40 Thank You Mute Math

[@EljayJohnson]

One of the single greatest live musical performances of all time!!!!!!!!! Nuff said.

[@tynie626]

can't wait to see them live. best live show i've ever seen in my entire life!!!!! and "burden" sounds amazing live, if u haven't heard it. even 10 times better than this! i'll never forget it!

[@joeymcilvain]

i still come back to this for motivation

[@tranettaelizabethfranklin8150]

Greatest band in the world.

[@tc2290]

I'm with @PapaKenny777. Mutemath, please self produce your next album. What these songs have morphed into is what will make me go out and buy the live version of this album and the dvd. While the newest studio album felt like Mutemath poured thru a sieve, this truly is and feels more Mutemath.

[@catesong]

It's so cool to see these guys just joking around and laughing, cuz honestly, sometimes it feels like they're musical genius robots onstage. Like, so unreal and unhuman. hahaha. Really enjoyed this interview montage. Thank you!

[@BryceDriesenga]

I cannot stop listening to this album. So good.

[@EmoKid3711]

i was epically bored, until i checked MM's facebook page and saw this link. this is amazing. :D i hope they put up the live version of Clipping next

[@lilworkerb]

Burden is one of the best live songs! I can't wait for the DVD.

[@OwensMusic1]

Every player in this band is AMAZING!

[@crafterbustamante]

god i love this so much...i listen to it allllll the time

[@bigpat99]

Wow, I totally LOVE this remix. Got goose bumps!

[@c70r1636]

Wow I have got to see them play live again.

[@Stonesands]

My respect and admiration to the drummer

[@Neivlak]

@tylerbrainerd and @888ts: tyler is right and any fan of MM should know this too. the band sees playing live and recording an album as two totally different worlds so one would never be jus like the other. there are always differences in the songs and im glad that theyre like that. its nice not to here the same song played the same way because an album should be a representation of a band. not the band itself. bands play shows to promote the album BUT mutemaths album really promotes their shows

[@iam0103]

Yes please !

[@Revdrum]

You’ve been spectacular!

[@equalsup259]

doesnt get much better then that.. love THE MM

[@GabrielNotTheAngel]

awesome mutemath, you make my world spin.

[@liam2x4]

My god how much I love Darren.

[@jdawggerw]

@MCKiran, the opening stuff is segments from "locusts." I think you can tell it's an early version of "burden" as some of the same elements are there.

[@jdawggerw]

Freaking amazing!

[@SuperGamer87]

That bass player's name is Roy Mitchell-Cardenas, and yes, he's a madman!

[@Bassplayer1220]

god I love this band

[@cheap_clown]

Great guys!!!

[@vicenzuno]

This is, hands down, one of my favorite videos of ALL TIME!!!

[@Biggestmutemathfan]

i wear I can hear something like "Voice in the Silence" Around 2:20. It has part of burden mixed in with it. I cant wait for the New Album.

[@crafterbustamante]

freaking yea

[@LucknLoLer]

fuck is this awesome.............. one of my favorite bands ever

[@Fazzoff]

Mutemath NEED to come to Australia. Brisbane or Gold Coast. They would sell out so fast.

[@kylekempf7]

It is some kind of synth patch in a music program or VSTi for something like Ableton or Reason more than likely, played through his (the bass player's) midi trigger pads in his alternate bass rig

[@Neivlak]

@Strike86 sorry i meant 2nd album im not sure why i wrote first. during the writing of armistice. and actually i learned this from the making of armistice in the armistice live dvd.

[@minmax17]

I think this is the first time I've seen King without headphones duct taped to his head.

[@hotwheelz20072]

Love Paul's laugh at 1:36 :)

[@SuperGamer87]

LOL Roy's a beast!

[@drumma5]

Darren is the most soft spoken, humble person until you get him behind that set. He can say so much with 4 drums and 2 cymbals. I don't know anyone who can lay a beat that fat even with the extra drums/cymbals other drummers use. Funk+Energy is amazing.

[@newwave808]

I wonder how they do that ambient syth on 8:17 and on the album song.

[@Strike86]

@Neivlak Awesome info man, where did you hear that?

[@Neivlak]

@liam2x4 i know this is a bit of a late response but that portion of Burden was actually a demo of a song that darren made in one night while they were writing the first album. its amazing but it didnt really make the final cut i guess. there were alot of amazing sounding stuff they were working on that got scrapped and i partially blame their producer of the 2nd album.

[@Danwynne]

i agree!!!

[@TheSeensca]

超级棒！！！！：）

[@astallasryan]

Does anyone know if Roy uses flatwound strings on his bass? I just love the sound that he gets with that Precision

[@ambibouffe]

i hear the music!!!!!

[@Strike86]

@Neivlak Oh right awesome. I still haven't watched that yet - maybe now's the time =D

[@TheNatclaja]

vraiment énorme ce groupe !!!

[@iam0103]

Does anyone know what that crazy bass synth thing is around 4:23 is?

[@undergroundshow7014]

The drummer is so nuts that he has a chin strap to keep his headphones on...EPIC

[@Biggestmutemathfan]

What ever Roy is using is fucking psychedelic

[@TylerBrainerd]

@888ts Mutemath often has significant differences between live and recorded.

[@SimonJefferis]

5:02 - So much groove :D

[@jdawggerw]

Look up epic in the dictionary, pretty sure MuteMath is there.

[@ibanezman04]

OMG You can hear the early makings of the breakdown from "Walking Paranoia" in this @6:06 !!!! awesome shit!!!!

[@cdoconn]

You do realize the breakdown of WP and the mid section is Spotlight, right?

[@liam2x4]

Why recording of Burden did they use at the first part?

[@cdoconn]

It's the initial demo of the song.

[@breesisthebest]

Darren King is KING on drums

[@SergiuSalcau00]

telecaster!! :>

[@ibanezman04]

its actually a stand alone moog synthesizer

[@joshlyn88]

@wowow0w1 So right on I also hear in his voice some perry farrell of janes addiction ...They rock the christian Radiohead they come close.

[@Strike86]

Argh, you guys need to stop making these awesome video blog tunes and not releasing them. 0:00 to 2:50 - it's just gorgeous.

[@quanahboy]

Hold on one minute, please tell me the Bassist did not jsut go DJ. I think I died there for a second.

[@Biggestmutemathfan]

ODD SOUL... OH OH OH OOooooooOOOHH

[@vicenzuno]

@lllzehcnaslll John Mayer and MuteMath are two of my all-time favorite bands. I could not agree more with you!

[@aaronbassist146]

@certinshadeofgreen You've never listened to the radio in the past few years, have you? If you haven't, don't start. You're not missing much. ;)

[@jbarnett007]

@ambibouffe really, cause i see it.. xP

[@sandnsea212]

@anitag92 - I would hop the plane over in a nanosecond!

[@wulord]

Sounds like the 80's if the 80's were good.

[@jgjhjhvjh]

日本だ！！

[@IeroAlyssa]

yes first comment!

[@PapaKenny777]

Typical Producers always using "its all about the song" argument!. I think some bands need producers and some dont, this band clearly does not. They better self produce their next record, thats all I am gonna say...
