As Brann pointed out, there is no other grief like that over someone who'd died by suicide. My husband, beloved metalhead who introduced me to Mastodon, died by suicide September 23, 2012. Demons slain, may all who die by suicide journey through peaceful light. For Brann's Skye, for my Aric, for them all, I wish you love.
My wife also died by suicide about the time you wrote this comment on December 26th 2019. We also lost both of her sisters 25 years earlier to suicide. There is no grief like it. Something you never recover from. I hope you have found love again.
My hopes are that all who have experienced a loss from a suicide are thriving and doing well,it is something that one will never have closure over... Suicide is a demon that noone can over come. It kills every day.
@Lohkyn That is your opinion and apparently someone who doesn't like pink floyd very much, I however do. Pink Floyd created some of the deepest, most complex, and amazing albums ever and I hold them as one of the greatest bands to ever to produce music. That is the pedestal on which I am placing Mastodon.
@Lohkyn i do agree with him and i love pink floyd since i was 8 years old Discovered Mastodon with 16 years old and some years later i would prefer them over PF anyday
@@STLMTB I do think Pink Floyd were pioneers and musical geniuses, but actually listening to them bores me to death. Doesn't remove anything from their talent though. Basically, my point is, not liking them is fine, but saying they're bad is just blind idiocy.
I have always felt this album deeper than any other music. Everytime I listen to its like the first time. It never gets old after all these years. I lost my parents to suicide when I was 17 and this music really hits home for me.
One of the greatest things about art is that you can take something so dark and tragic, and use it to make something so strong and beautiful. That's what this album did. Her memory is forever kept alive in the form of one of the most beautiful albums of all time! Brann's amazing! Mastodon forever!
Loss is a powerful motivation but also a dangerous emotion. Really glad they took it and turned it into something beautiful instead. I resonate with the whole album, and that song in particular.
Man this is my new favorite album, the fact that it's musically and lyrically amazing and I can relate to Brann. Same situation and lost my sister to the same thing. RIP to Skye. Maybe our sister are best friends in the afterlife.
Nothing ever comes close to Mastodon once discovered. The best heavy band I enjoyed every album of theirs and they never cease to amaze with pure awesomeness. Glad I could see them live and it was with Scott Kelly! I hope I'll have that opportunity again one day! Btw I got a drumstick from Brann, one of my favorite humans in the music world !
@@DefThrone I like Gojira, heard them live, they're great. Ofc it's all subjective. Just the riff from Chimes To Midnight is one of the greatest riffs in rock history lol. Porcupine Tree comes to mind too...
I cant imagine how hard that was to go through. Losing Skye and then writing, recording and performing it. Very sorry for your loss Brann. And to Scott Kelly as well for his loss.
For me, Crack the Skye is such a great album. It really does help me channel my feelings. I thank Brann and Brent for laying it all out there and creating a work of art. I hope that it was a 'win' for them too. I hope they were able to release some of the sadness and pain. It's everything; intensity drama, wonder, and catharsis.
"Momma don't let them take her Take her down Please tell Lucifer he can't have this one Her spirits too strong" This part always cracks me, same goes for this video
This album is one of my favorites....what it does for, is I remember getting up early and kayaking fishing stoned...on the water just me listening and appreciating their skill...mastodon is a great band
Daniel Hoffer in no particular order: Tool - Lateralus, The Mars Volta - de loused in the comatorium, Pantera - Far beyond driven, Mastodon- Once more round the sun 🌞
CTS is by far my favorite mastodon album. The only album I bought the tab book to in over 15 years. It is a work of art like all mastodon albums but I feel its very unique and a cut above the rest.
THIS is what always stood out most about the CTS album. Musically it's superb, but it runs sooo much deeper than previous records. All that pain and suffering transmuted into sonic release. Catharsis. And, in turn, the record can help others who have sadly had the same/similar experiences. So thank you, Mastodon, for having the balls to put out something like this, something that reflects the human condition so well. You can really tell that the other 3 rrrreally stepped up too, when Brann decided to explore this subject. Deserved every copy sold and more. 😏
Such a powerful album. My losses have been different, but the pain is the same; I can feel it in the music. I'll say what I've said before: this album has helped me through some really bad times, in part because I could listen to it and know that these are people who had been there too.
im here watching this in the future and yeah.. I cant imagine the betrayal that Brann felt after trusting this dude with his emotions and heartbreak only for the dude to turn around and be a huge scumbag.. sucks man.
This album and Emperor Of Sand are extremely personal to me. i've suffered from major depression for the majority of my life and hung myself back in 2003. Secondly my mother is a survivor of ovarian cancer. I'm grateful all four members plus honorary member Scott Kelly made these two magnificent records. Also the rest of their discography is amazing
Damn, no wonder I feel so connected to you guys. I too lost someone to suicide at a young age. Your music gets me right in the heart. Its time Scott joins the band as a full member btw! !!
They don't need another vocalist! Brann, Brent and Troy are doing a perfect job, they are what makes Mastodon great (Bill too of course!!!) And yes, I really like Scott's voice, makes a great addition to songs but it makes it special because he is not in EVERY song! I love this band as it is and hope that Scott continues doing guest appearances in songs. The last time I saw Mastodon live was with my 2 kids (17,14) at a venue in Utrecht, Netherlands. First time I saw Scott live and he is awesome! But....as a guest performer!
@@slip1973a I totally agree with you actually. Its just that I've seen mastodon twice and Scott wasn't there, so maybe its selfish reasoning for me. Cool that you bring yer kids to the show.
@@adrd208 yeah my kids love Mastodon. My daughter (17 now) saw Mastodon live for the first time when she was 13 in Amsterdam. She even got the opportunity to get a photo taken with Bill! Awesome guy! I always liked Crack the Skye but it got special to me when my dad committed suicide almost a year after the show in Amsterdam. My daughter has seen time 3 times now and my son twice.....and we can't wait for them to come back to the Netherlands
How fucking cool would it be if your son was in fucking Mastodon? How fucking proud would you be? They’re not just a rock band. They’re fucking artists, and each dude is vital to the band. I’d be beaming everyday. “My boy is in fucking Mastodon, can you believe that?”
Skye Dailor's memory in the song " *Crack the Skye" has been traveling through space at the speed of light for around 12 years. What are the aliens listening to.? www.lightyear.fm/
I played this for my son when he was around five and he HATED it. Last year, at 14, he asked me if I had ever heard of Mastodon. I chuckled and said, “Son, let me tell you about Mastodon ...” Now, they are on his bucket list of bands he wants to see with his dad.
@@akediord That's great! I got into this band because my dad and I were seeing Judas Priest and they were opening. I was pretty young and had only listened to the metal my dad liked (The Big Four, Priest, Iron Maiden, etc.), but I checked out Mastodon so I'd know some songs at the concert and I've been hooked ever since!
@@themcrib7920 Awesome! I took my boy to Maiden when he was six and again at 13. We'll see them again this summer. Additionally, we seen Slayer, Lamb of God (twice) and Anthrax together, but now we need to get to a Mastodon and Megadeth show to round out his top five. Stay METAL! 🤘
@@akediord Ordered my ticket for Mastodon 2022 here in the Netherlands. My son of 15, totally into Muse, Radiohead and who is starting to discover Tool right now, said; "And where am I in this picture...?" Long story short, it's going to be another father/son moment.
My son and i will be seeing Mastodon and Gojira for the 3rd time on Sunday... The kicker is that they are touring together this time!!! These shows have built an unbreakable bond between my son and i,music heals families that were once torn apart! Mega-Monsters tour 2023...VIP in OKC!!🤘🤘🤘
crack the skye will always be my favorite album. it was the moment i knew mastodon was more then a band and something special we get to witness evolve such an amazing band
Couldn't agree more, I'll never forget the moment I first heard that album, and I'll never forget the goosebumps I got track after track. That album and this band as a whole are something to be cherished. Something special in human history.
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 It's written all over your face I can see the pain You can make it all go away
thank you for your soothing music with out it i would not have made it lost my dad 2008 lost my step father 2013 and my mother passed last year thanks again
So sorry. My brother and I lost our beloved aunt in 2013. Loss is so hard to deal with. Watching this, you could see how painful this is for Brann. This record is so beautiful and stunning. It's a fave for sure. Beautiful tribute.
There are only a handful of albums out there that don't have at least one or two 'meh' moments on them. This is one. I came up in the 80's and feel GnR Appetite For Destruction is another. Master of Puppets as well. This is the pinnacle of songwriting and performance. Thank you Mastodon for Crack the Skye.
He is extremely articulate in this doco! I wonder if it's a conscious effort in recent interviews to come across like he is totally uncaring and eccentric or if there if indeed some neurological damage. I truely believe he is as sharp as he ever was but just doesn't care to put it out there anymore. He contributes so little genuine emotional investment in his interviews in The 'Emperor of Sand' documentary... if you could even call his contributions interviews.
@@juanvaldez5422 he suffered some brain damage in an incident where he got punched and hit his head on the ground when he fell. That is probably a large part of it. He's always been eccentric but he seems a little different in interviews from before and after the incident. I also have a personal theory that he's less interested in the band because Brann and Bill have taken a much more active role in songwriting in the albums after Crack the Skye.
really really grateful for this series, I was probably too young to understand most of what this album was about when I first came to it just after when it came out but it’s so brilliant to hear how much power and emotion there is behind all of it. massive respect to you guys forever.
Crack the Skye try not to cry challenge ... 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 It's written all over your face I can see the pain You can make it all go away
Geniuses but too dark for me usually. I bought CTS because I knew Brann's mom's side of family (I dated one of them ) , they are lovely people . Glad I bought it , what a powerful emotional statement . You don't have to love metal to like this work. If you don't own it , I recommend it.
Omg my firstborns middle name is also skye. The first born of many who didn’t make it. My miracle 😭😭😭😭 for some reason this album has always resonated very deeply with me. Now it’s even more special.
This song touched me so much, especially after I've read about the story behind it. I got two sisters and can only vaguely imagine how difficult it must be to cope with something like this. I think about my own sisters when I listen to crack the skye. It's a masterpiece that transcends musical boundaries.
Favourite song from my favourite band. Never knew the meaning of the song until now. Fucking cried when I heard that 'Please tell Lucifer...' lyric. You've outdone yourselves on this one. An amazing song to commemorate her with. Anyone would be honoured, and I'm sure she would be.
this is album I started listening to mastodon with. and too this day 12 years later when I hear the bands name I think of this album and this song, I think they achieved everything they set out to do with this album and more
This album should be put in a time capsule and buried underneath a mountain for a future civilization to find and decipher its message. There was a civilization on the planet before the great destruction. Everything was destroyed but look what they left us. Also put a Wesley Willis album in the time capsule just to mess with their heads in the future. We can troll a whole civilization 2000 years from now. The time capsule can be a 1980 Ford Fiesta with the DIY window tint that you get at Walmart. Shape the future 🤡🌎
This album hit me like a freight train the first time I listened to it. Now I fully understand why it sounded so powerful. Sorry for your loss my metal brother.
metalmulisha0143 Yeah, the bass player really fucked him up. Apparently Brent was drunk and starting shit and got punched in the head, assume he fell and hit his head. He was kind of fuzzy for a little while.
@@GrassFed67 yeah he hit a concrete planter on the way down. Many dudes have punched Brent when he was drunk and obnoxious. There is no beef, it's just unfortunate that he fell that way. Almost killed him. Brain swole.
Andrew Domonic yeah, always heard Brent didn't hold it against him, shit happens. That's fucking rough, hitting the back of your head on the way down makes for a bad time.
As Brann pointed out, there is no other grief like that over someone who'd died by suicide. My husband, beloved metalhead who introduced me to Mastodon, died by suicide September 23, 2012.

Suicide is a demon that noone can over come. It kills every day.
This album is the Metal equivalent of a Pink Floyd album.
I don't think so, Crack the Skye is good

You guys are our generations Led Zeppelin but with much deeper meaning and bond. Thank you for your music.
Well mastodon doesn't steal music from black musicians like led zeppelin
I cant imagine how hard that was to go through.
Losing Skye and then writing, recording and performing it.

Top 5 albums of all times!

So sorry to hear Brann and Scott.

Sick Phil I’ve always thought what mastodon really needs is another vocalist
Not sure if this is sarcasm or not. They definatly don't need another singer but Scott adds that extra flavor that puts it over the top.

Shit that was sad. This was the album that made me a mastodon fan. Has something special to it; now I know why
I listen to the album quite frequently, and hands down some of their best music.
Might be my favorite ..... like favorite favorite. My girls listened to this a lot as babies. The instrumental was 🔥. I love it.
Omg my firstborns middle name is also skye. The first born of many who didn’t make it. My miracle 😭😭😭😭 for some reason this album has always resonated very deeply with me. Now it’s even more special.
Thumbs up if Mastodon are one of your favourite bands. :D
They are my favourite band, period.
👍🏻👍🏻
There is a genuine Brotherhood and mutual respect among these guys and it shows in their playing. Nothing pretentious.
Every album and always a feat from NEUROSIS legend Scott Kelly !
Except the new one !:(
This song touched me so much, especially after I've read about the story behind it. I got two sisters and can only vaguely imagine how difficult it must be to cope with something like this. I think about my own sisters when I listen to crack the skye. It's a masterpiece that transcends musical boundaries.
Zero dislikes. Damn straight!
I know right! F*CK YA!!!
Well, there's 5 right now
7 people with no hearts.
The song is pure emotion. Grief. Family is so important. Pure melody of tears.
Mastodon helps me get thru life
A true masterpiece of an album and a fitting tribute to Skye. May her memory live on forever in the music.

This video was awesome. Truly inspiring! I don't know if it was possible to love Mastodon more but they squeezed a little bit more out of me 🤘😎🤘
*I AM DAD*
Favourite song from my favourite band. Never knew the meaning of the song until now. Fucking cried when I heard that 'Please tell Lucifer...' lyric.
You've outdone yourselves on this one. An amazing song to commemorate her with. Anyone would be honoured, and I'm sure she would be.
this is album I started listening to mastodon with. and too this day 12 years later when I hear the bands name I think of this album and this song, I think they achieved everything they set out to do with this album and more

I love the daddy’s shirt :)

i'm truly sorry

Please Mastodon come to Europe with this tour
Album released 10 years ago mate
This album hit me like a freight train the first time I listened to it. Now I fully understand why it sounded so powerful. Sorry for your loss my metal brother.
Anyone know what the Vegas accident was?
An encounter with two lads from System of a Down on the weekend of the VMAs left Brent with a head injury that took some time to recover from.
Ed they beat him up? Did it affect brent mentally and how he is now?
metalmulisha0143 Yeah, the bass player really fucked him up. Apparently Brent was drunk and starting shit and got punched in the head, assume he fell and hit his head. He was kind of fuzzy for a little while.
@@GrassFed67 yeah he hit a concrete planter on the way down. Many dudes have punched Brent when he was drunk and obnoxious. There is no beef, it's just unfortunate that he fell that way. Almost killed him. Brain swole.
Andrew Domonic yeah, always heard Brent didn't hold it against him, shit happens. That's fucking rough, hitting the back of your head on the way down makes for a bad time.
If you ever come to Niagara Falls, Canada you take me up on the Hug. ✌️
