Everyone surprised by the lacking vocal performance must be new fans. They weren't always the greatest live singers for their first few albums. They have improved greatly since. Much respect
Both of them are disgusting cockmunching cunts, I'd be surprised if they remembered the name of the band, not to mention the performance. And the real artists must shorten their songs, because the commercials are too important, of course... This really wasn't one of the best "Oblivion" performances, tbh- they should've played "Linoleum Knife", that would crush the whole fuckin' studio for sure!
@@NooDLES411911 maybe the secret is indeed to play fills and sing above it, rather than a standard beat, that's more challenging because you gotta hit less times on the drums.
If you've ever played in a band and performed live many times, then you know how difficult it can be when you cannot hear yourself or each other. I feel like that is what was happening here with the vocals. Very hard to harmonize with someone when you are having trouble hearing them. So many things can cause these types of issues live. They weathered the storm and pushed through. It's all that you can do in the moment.
Ive seen them a dozen times the earlier stuff always sounds great live (vox wise) Crack the sky has so much fake tits in its production & ive yet to see them pull it off live, & especially live for broadcast & actually do it justice. That said these guys are fucking awesome. I cant think of a single heavy band that did network broadcast & sound good obv excluding the unplugged series
These guys have waaaaaaaaaay too much talent to not change. Just set back and watch'm evolve. Still the best shit out there and probably will be for the 5 years at least. This is a very rare and special type of band.
Drumming while singing is one of the hardest tasks imaginable, he does an excellent job of it. Emotion vs. Technical quality is always a hard dispute with vocals, some people just like singing pitch perfect, in key, hitting the right notes, other people dont care if it has that extra something that comes from putting your soul into it. The vocals were very emotion filled live, as they were on the album.
Bill sounds so enthusiastic when he says "thank you Dave" at the end. I love these guys, and for once, am happy that a band of their caliber is getting some good exposure to the world. They deserve it.
I saw Mastodon perform this song as warmup for Metallica in copenhagen on a round shaped circle. When the guitarist played that awesome solo in the middle of the song he was running around the stage so all of the audience could see him play it. I was fucking amazed, they are AWESOME!!!
I've only seen Mastodon live once, but their vocal harmonies were dead on in pitch and sounded kickass live. They also added some satisfying growls when they sang "Lost, love". They probably weren't fully warmed up or something in this performance because they're one of the best live bands I've ever seen.
Now he they aren't. They had vocal help. Troy said they were always about the music first. With Crack the Skye and everything after however that's changed. So they all got vocal lessons
You can tell Brent was nervous about this. Watch his body language, he's not the same compared to other live videos and he also has a few vocal/lyric slip-ups. Playing on Letterman is fucking awesome and hard to do especially if you're a metal band. Also, it didn't help that Letterman cracked that little joke before they played, you can tell Brent is probably a fan and it hurt his feelings lol. Plus the song structure was altered, most likely a last minute thing. Mastodon still rocks.
The sad thing is that most people probably judge a performance by its vocals, when in reality the rest of the performance is stellar technically. There's not much you can do with stage presence on that little area when you have technically difficult songs, and you have to focus on making sure the vocals don't fall apart altogether (which they nearly did at times).
I love how they've seemingly been instructed to wear long sleeved shirts to cover up all their tattoos in order not to offend Letterman's 50 and 60something year old viewers. I love even more how Brent's face undermines that entire effort.
Letterman notoriously kept the theatre temp cold so people wouldnt get sleepy, so they're trying to stay warm. Soundgarden played Letterman and they wore sweaters and coats while performing.
If you have ever played live inside a small area (especially metal), you will have some idea of how hard it is to hear yourself sing unless you isolate. Mastodon are the greatest! Don't judge them on this kind of performance, go check out some live outdoor stuff, soooo much better! Plus I would like to see any of the plebs criticizing here play any of those instruments and sing at the same time... Letterman has a shit setup crew too...
vox were rough....I'm guessing they didn't have enough monitors....brann did great...the only problem was the vocals....music was tight...they killed as usual...
I don't know what everyone's talking about, this was a good performance. It had it's flaws, but it's more than "refreshing" to see this sort of music on TV.
People saying this was an off performance. I saw them last fall and Brent was having guitar problems before the show even began, and hardly played anything in the first few songs as a result The vocals were inaudible( except for Brann) and sound was mixed bad. Then Brent had more problems during the last song and walked off stage during last song. So this wasn't that bad
To me it sounded like they were just told to cut up the song for time restraints which is normal cos in America they need ads every fucking 5 minutes on TV. No wonder nobody watches TV anymore.
Flew to Vegas back in November to see these guys, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat. Hell, I'd even fly somewhere awful like Indianapolis to see them again! Amazing show; their drummer did more with a basic kit than most metal drummers do with ten times the drums surrounding them. Truly awesome!
@K Sk No shit? That's pretty cool. Brann still sounds pretty decent in this video but man. I've seen them live and holy shit one of the best damn performances ever.
While I can sort of (and i emphasize that) understand why people don't like their singing, I love it because of the authenticity...this is their real vocals, their real voices being heard...not polished, autotuned, or lip-synching. That's a real band, and real talent in my eyes. Mastodon is one hell of a band.
Ruben Mancha I have seen this played better live, but considering they were on a live tv show and all the vocalists play instruments and have to somewhat harmonize on certain parts(one of which is a FUCKING DRUMMER!!!!) I think its pretty damn good!
Troy's off a bit. But it doesn't look like he has a monitor in front of him. Not being able to hear yourself is a sure fire recipe for singing flat. Also the mix is really awful, but that's not their fault. I agree with Ruben. I'd rather listen to less than perfect vocals than watch someone lipsynch and do synchronized kicks. Just me I guess.
Yeah, well, except for Troy's vocals they were fine. Especially since it's usually Brent who's the "problem child" - you never know whether he might be drunk, stoned, trippin or all three at once during a performance.
Full marks to Mr Letterman for having a decent rock / metal / prog band on, then making sure he said thanks to each and every one of them, even the keyboard player who is not technically one of the band.
The Late Show With David Letterman: Keeping it real since 1993. Seriously, Letterman has the best people on here, Mastodon, The Fleet Foxes, Matt Stone and Trey Parker, etc.
I thought it sounded pretty damn good. They nailed the instrumental part and their voices sounded pretty good for the most part, except for Troy who usually sounds much better. It's VERY hard to play the sort of rhythms these guys play and nail the vocals. Add to that the anxiety and nervousness of playing on Letterman. Furthermore, the studio version has that "wall of sound" production to it, which adds to the vocal crunchiness we're so used to hearing nowadays. Overall... B+
was watching a Manchester Orchestra video, and when they performed they said the Letterman studios were freezing. Maybe they were cold? They too are from atlanta. lol
intricate vocals intricate music; incredible melodies; it's hard to pull off live IMO without a dedicated singer; I'm 44 and for my money this band is as good as any in history; the Beatles or Zep weren't as good live either
There are way too many better bands that also perform well live. Queens of the Stone Age is the best example, the record as if they are playing at an actual show. Otherwise you get overproduced music with mediocre live performances like this. I love Mastodon, but holy shit, they are crap live, having seen them a few times.
Wow. people saying it's an off performance. no way. try playing with in ear monitors. not having a proper gig setup stage wise. NO sound eng for the night.,or not the dude that tours with you regularly... playing ONE song. so no time for voice or band to click. AND YOUR WATCHING IT ON UA-cam, AT LEAST, WATCH IT OFF LETTERMAN SITE AND DOWNLOAD IT IN AT LEAST, WAV FORM
all true what you are saying but still, this was an off performance. No shame in that, every band has it sometimes. Singers can lose their voice, guitar players can fuck up a part,.. Shit happens, we're all human here
kyle dunnuck There are countless vocalists that play instruments and sing at the same time who are leagues better than these guys. Vocals have always been the weakest link in the Mastodon chain and there's no point pretending otherwise.
well its whatever. i enjoy listening to mastodon more than alot of many bands i heard and that counts more for me. i like mostly metal. idk what you like. maybe some bands you like ive never heard of i might like more. idk
It's pointless to argue tastes like somebodies voice. Look at Thom Yorke. You either hate it or love it usually. I love it when Brent sings so I dig this one personally. So you could say I disagree whole-heartedly, but it's really pointless because it doesn't move you so what wold a few words from me have to do with you liking it? Athough, I think they've generally become better at vocals it seems they were in the zone hear and killing it. Maynards one of my favorite singers too...
I was reading in an interview that the vocals on Crack the Skye were more demanding live. The vocals now sound better than they did then but still can be better but they still are good live.
The craziest thing, I saw this when it was live and I had never heard of the band, but the part where David says "I'm frightened" (and then Brent makes a kind of funny face) has stuck with me, and I have used it get out of situations where someone says something I don't comprehend. I just give them that look. I had a mild stroke a few years after this aired and kinda "forgot who I am", and there's a lot of cases where I don't understand what someone says to me (like a new co-worker, or casher, etc.) and they are about to assume me to be an idiot. This buys me a few seconds to collect my thoughts and gives a hint of "every thing will be fine, but yeah, I'm a bad ass".
I love Mastodon, they came out with their own music style that's hard to imitate. But as it is with extreme metal that you cannot play normaly in TV at 12 during lunch, it same with Mastodon you cannot play it infront of bunch people that don't give a shit about this music. They sounds lovely to my ears but if I play this CD to my mom she freaks out and says it's brutal. Anyway they deserve this acknowledgement, because nowdays is hard to get to the top and stay still with your own face!!!

i just saw them Sunday and the vocals were super tight
Brent and Troy are terrible singers. Badly out of tune.
@@carlmarks8170 Brents not good here but I reckon he's the best singer in the band. It's a bummer he never wanted to sing.
@@carlmarks8170 seeing them live would definitely change your opinion
@@carlmarks8170that may be true but this is the kind of song with difficult harmonies
well gotta hand it to letterman, nobody has guests like this... props to him.

Conan had Mastodon too

Ksenija Perunovic wow you're just now finding out the world doesn't work exactly how you want it to. Stop acting like a baby get over it.
Playing those fills while singing.. magnificent.
I can't sing and keep a standard beat. These guys that can play intricate songs while singing always amazed me
@@NooDLES411911 This is cool. I play drums and sing at the same time depending on the song.
@@NooDLES411911 maybe the secret is indeed to play fills and sing above it, rather than a standard beat, that's more challenging because you gotta hit less times on the drums.

Troy’s usually great, definitely the strongest vocally out of himself, Braun and Brent, but here he was utterly shit...
1000 percent. especially for a bassist. all you hear is your body shaking from dbs pumping through it
Ive seen them a dozen times the earlier stuff always sounds great live (vox wise) Crack the sky has so much fake tits in its production & ive yet to see them pull it off live, & especially live for broadcast & actually do it justice. That said these guys are fucking awesome. I cant think of a single heavy band that did network broadcast & sound good obv excluding the unplugged series
Couldn't hear my guitar players 90% of the time. It sucked. I just drummed away.

The drummers got the chops and the voice but honestly, I'm just pumped that they're playing on Letterman! I mean, c'mon, it's Mastodon :)

heavy riffs and spine-chilling vocals, Mastodon has finally got the style they were aiming for, it's just great
for once troy was the worst singer
+Gherkin Flout Tubanomeister I KNOWWW
Yep
He looks like he's really struggling, I wouldn't be surprised if something was wrong.
Daniel Corona maybe he was sick
Brann sounded pretty good though
Their instrumentation is ridiculously complex, so I don't blame them for not having perfect vocals. You can tell since the solo section was spot-on.
Love the artwork on that album.
NO! Where is the epic intro!
Letterman was scared...
they probably had to cut it do to television timing
Where is the epic closing??
WOW, I didn't expect this to be half as good as it is... What a great band.
Brans vocals and drums on The hunter album are amazing!
its so sad , they were forced to cut it short :(
João Ataíde it's television of course.
That's a mainstream show. Let it be
"HD"
bandona señores tuve el placer de verlos en Guatemala!! they`re amazing!!
This song has always reminded me of Queens of the Stone Age. Mastodon is so sick 🤘🏻
Troy usually isn't flat during live performances. This wasn't the best representation of their music, still good though.
Now he they aren't. They had vocal help. Troy said they were always about the music first. With Crack the Skye and everything after however that's changed. So they all got vocal lessons
I love this band. They must have been so freakin loud!
So good to come back and watch this. Everything goes by so fast these days....
Mastodon is one of my favorite bands, but this performance is a little off. They're usually awesome live, lately at least.
@Alex Richards It was pretty off. It was like Troy was a full key too low. I wonder if it was stage fright or something. He’s usually on.
You can tell Brent was nervous about this. Watch his body language, he's not the same compared to other live videos and he also has a few vocal/lyric slip-ups. Playing on Letterman is fucking awesome and hard to do especially if you're a metal band.

I'm a non-musician, but I appreciate great musicians, and Mastodon is definitely one of the top. Some people just can't appreciate true beauty.
Dude, awesome!!!!!!!!
I've seen letterman, now I want to see mastodon.
The sad thing is that most people probably judge a performance by its vocals, when in reality the rest of the performance is stellar technically.

Letterman notoriously kept the theatre temp cold so people wouldnt get sleepy, so they're trying to stay warm. Soundgarden played Letterman and they wore sweaters and coats while performing.
Brann Dailor yet again showcasing his awesome talent. Mastodon is truly an awesome band!
It is truly fucking criminal how much recognition these guys don't get outside of the metal community. A band like this doesn't come along very often.
If you have ever played live inside a small area (especially metal), you will have some idea of how hard it is to hear yourself sing unless you isolate. Mastodon are the greatest! Don't judge them on this kind of performance, go check out some live outdoor stuff, soooo much better!

their bassist is a terrible singer, only recently since 2017 he shows improvement
He has good growls at least.
I disagree, way better compared to conan and some festivals
Their vox are usually bad. Unfortunate. Theyre the most amazing band, with the absolute crappiest live vocals.
I don't know what everyone's talking about, this was a good performance. It had it's flaws, but it's more than "refreshing" to see this sort of music on TV.
People forget about the true beauty of live music. They are used to studio perfection and then pass judgment.
troy had some shit in his throat just in case you re wondering wtf is wrong with his vocals here :D

i saw them 1 week ago with 'Tallica
they are great i want that song book
Mastodon rocks!!
Amazing!!!!!
amazing performance. it's nearly impossible to play that song and harmonize and all that shit. love these guys!

i bought the cd after i saw it on adultswim, first time listener, at the time, and ever since ive thought they were great :)
Wow people slamming Troy, he sounds like he is sick and kinda lost hos voice.
They all were sick with the flu or something during this performance
Dafuq? Were they told to cover their tattoos?
nick weller
Holy shit your'e onto something!
was watching a Manchester Orchestra video, and when they performed they said the Letterman studios were freezing. Maybe they were cold? They too are from atlanta. lol
No he isn't.
Letterman kept the studio legendarily cold because he didn't want to sweat under the lights.
Brent has a tattoo on his face a lmao
Great performance
this is my first time ever hearing of this band.....they kick ass
intricate vocals intricate music; incredible melodies; it's hard to pull off live IMO without a dedicated singer; I'm 44 and for my money this band is as good as any in history; the Beatles or Zep weren't as good live either

Per non parlare della musica
mastodon are amazing!
This sounds awesome
What's with the long sleeves? Hiding their tattoos from the PC audience?!
One of them literally has a face tattoo.
My completely uninformed guess would be Letterman was known for keeping the studio very, very cold
Letterman has a pc audience?
Do you even know what PC is? Many conservatives would argue that tolerating tattoos is a form of PC. You got it backwards.
what a random thought to have
this was a much better performance then the other, very very good job !
agree'd, I saw them a week ago. blew me away. The whole Crack the Skye album front to back, cant ask for anything better

Great song
Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!! Tasty and wonderful and intense... love it! These guys are amazing, amazing, amazing!!! Yeah!

Seen them live a few times. Don't agree.
Dave Mustaine is much worse. Mastodon's singing is also very different somehow, it can't really be compared with Dave's singing.
This performance has demonstrated how not to harmonize vocals. Music sounded great though.
Incredible band
The Korn at the beginning was great. lmao
this sounds same as the studio version
"I won't lie to ya, I'm frightened" *pans to Brent*
This song made me become a Mastodon fan.
Also hearing it on Brutal Legends helped.
Imo, Brent is probably my favourite studio vocalist for Mastodon; Troy is my favourite live screamer and Brann is my favourite live singer.
The craziest thing, I saw this when it was live and I had never heard of the band, but the part where David says "I'm frightened" (and then Brent makes a kind of funny face) has stuck with me, and I have used it get out of situations where someone says something I don't comprehend.
