@SpookyAction123 Couldn't agree more... I've always wondered why Omar and the other musicians in this band tolerate Cedric's often sub standard live vocals.
As you've said, on record, Cedric is great. But live he really lets the band down and to a certain extent spoils the songs for me.
@borntohula5:55 I think he meant these high notes, which he did sing right. But yes it's a fact that Cedric is not a good live singer. He could solve this problem by writing and singing songs in a lower key
This is probably my favourite Mars Volta song, it's a masterpiece. If you listen to it closely enough, you can hear that everything flows and makes sense.
@pacocrowley i allready commented so if you are so smart and had understood my question answer me, if you don t , kiss my hundubembodovici how that i wrote ? gone listening Queen much better than this noise, the truth really hurt honey
@LORD0fPEACE Your answers: you can't "sing" a type of music, they're playing prog rock, mixed with jazz, at their own style. Yes, we all know that Tetragrammaton means "the one of 4 word" or Deus, God. You don't even bothered to read all the lyrics, they aren't talking about God. Queen better than this? they play a different type of music. Get back to school Timmy.
@LORD0fPEACE If you prefer Queen over this, then you are a failure of genetics, plain and simple.
And while you're at it, going to school again and learning proper punctuation would be a good idea.
P.S. Your "God" sucks. If this all loving, all powerful God actually existed, then there would be no such thing as murder, genocide, and molestation. And there sure as hell wouldn't be people who didn't have ears to appreciate TMV. Enjoy your Freddies and your Mercuries.
@wmotamedi oh man, I love Queen, but it just sounds like these guys are singing straight from the scripture. praise be to Him and all His glory! He has blessed them!
Can we not try to find which band is better: A or B, or dwell who sounds like who, and rather, simply focus on how fucking well Cedric is nailing his high notes. Christ.
@S8OR And Cedric's lyrics are more similar to Peter Sinfield's (King Crimson) or Peter Gabriel's (Genesis) obscure, cryptic lyrics then Robert Plant's simple, straight forward lyrics.
probly man. at the last show i saw him at he had pieces of paper on the floor. and they were playing all new shit. he just likes to know his words. hell, i like him to know his words
yeah but wasnt Mozart kind of a rebell? personally... musically... so maybe in the world of us tady, Mozart would have decided to make progressive rock as complex as Mars Volta.
it really took me some time to get into the mars volta. Now they're one of my favourite bands. they're improvisation adn songwriting is off this planet.
@boygalak Yea and I hear frank zappa all around but most great muscians like zappa. All in all they sound like the mars volta, very unique but I hear zappa's influence overall. It's like an ochestra with guitars, bass, etc. I love :)
@XxShindouxX because a friend of mine likes this music and i wanted to listen to it again to find out if there maybe could something i can also like in it. but after listening and listening, i just still dont really think they are so fantastic
@Kapojos an opinion is an opninion right, but their musica talent is very much higher then most bands there r today, but that doesnt mean u cant like those other bands..... no ones stopping u man!
@ImaFez some people have more talent than others and ofcourse i like to hear/see people with developed talents, but thats just 1 quality. this group is talented, but thats (in my opinion) also end of the story, just shared talent. you can admire how well they play and of great compositions and stuff, but thats just musical tools, great art transforms itself into a significant vision which is not about the medium anymore, but about telling us something about life, something that REALLY matters
@RomeSkateFoSho hehe, i like good music, but i like it even more if its more than good. if it goes beyond music and in my opinion this band just stays music. i want to hear music that turns into art, poetry!
Listen dumbass, he's not doing his "stupid" dance moves to please you or anyone. He does it because he feels the music and likes dancing to it, if you don't like it just listen to the studio version or open a new tab on your browser. There are also people who like how he dances, he shows passion during their performance. Would you rather have them just standing there all boring and dull? I sure as hell wouldn't, this is what makes them unique.
You make me laugh. Look, there's a difference between being "feeling" the music and being idiotically ostentatious about it. I might feel different about it if perhaps he didn't do the same ridiculous dances moves to EVERY song. He's obviously very talented but this is clearly done out of some need for attention just like your asinine post. Also, You don't know WHY i was watching this vid so take your advice about how i watch it and shove it up your ass you pretentious douchebag.
Wow, I like how you pamper your comment with all these big words to make yourself feint the need of intelligence that just isn't there. So what if he does the same dance moves to EVERY song ( which he clearly doesn't) he has been dancing to music since ATD-I not just Volta. Also to rectify your point of the same dance move argument. . His dancing here is actually kind of blasé compared to others. SEE I can use big words too mang!
dam. that songs is so fuckin badass everytime i hear it. makes me feel good to say im from texas too, thats for sure. i cant wait till they come to play here in Houston again. anyone know when that is?
@JackNeedles i dont see or hear any hint of led zeppelin in the mars volta rather than cedric´s high pitch voice, i´d say more like frank zappa and king crimson with a lil of genesis but on steroids and gone outer space, love zeppelin tho
Omar's like the composer leading them all in this wierd play, I love there music so much it's a trip! It's like organized chaos, or "A donkey choking on a waffle."
@tonyAJ420 mozart is boring? listen to his requiem and his symphony # 25 in G minor. It takes an unearthly amount of talent to write whole symphonies for multiple instruments in changing time signatures and changing keys while sounding good...you know nothing about music if you can consider the masters of music "boring." Grow up
@jtizz711 Modern Mozart? Wouldn't a modern classical music composer be more similar to Mozart that a guy who patterns his music off of 70's progressive rock and Latin sounds?
@jtizz711 that isn't a point. Mozart was a classical composer. THIS guy makes modern progressive rock. There ARE composers alive today who would sound like Mozart. This guy doesn't. Your statement is stupid.
@subsamadhi your ignorance compels me to push you off of a bridge. There are no classical composers today that sound like mozart. not even close. Do you know why? because all of the geniuses in modern music play Jazz. Have you ever heard of jazz fusion? oh? THATS WHAT THIS IS!!!
@jtizz711 That doesn't change the fact that there are composers today making classical music. They would take any comparison to Mozart over this guy. Your statement is stupid. This isn't jazz fusion. These guys aren't anywhere near jazz music. You should seriously consider getting your head checked.
@subsamadhi dude what the fuck are you talking about? this is jazz fusion. the best jazz fusion band in the past 20 years. just because there is no trumpet, does not mean its not jazz. the modern great minds of music play jazz.
@jtizz711 do me a fucking favor: type in the words "jazz fusion" into the search engine and tell me if you find anything on youtube that sounds remotely similar to this. These guys are closer to fucking King Crimson than Mozart. You are stupid. Deal with it.
@jtizz711 Oh, and by the way. If these guys actually were jazz fusion, they aren't even that good at the genre. I would rather listen to just about any jazz fusion over these guys, if they actually DID play it. Oh, and classical music IS intellectually superior to jazz. Your ideas need work, son.
@jtizz711 hey, I have a question for you: have you ever seen the Mars Volta live? I have. They aren't a fucking jazz fusion band. Get over it. They play rock music. There's no jazz involved.
@ENEMENCIO123VISION good call. They aren't jazz or whatever the fuck.....I think they are more into prog rock...but they are close to punk as well. When they were At the Drive in they aped a lot of old MC5 stuff. I guarantee you they started getting into a lot of 70's shit as well. Latin influences, like the band War and Carlos Santana. Fucking Mozart, go figure. Not even close.
@subsamadhi your's too as well Bro. all in all they are Fantastic at what they do. i really enjoy the Cds they have made. i guess thats my main point. Peace :)
I'm very confused about the history of Mars Volta drummers. Jon Theodore played on De-loused, FTM, and Amputechture right? and Thomas Pridgen played on the last two. And then Dave Elitch replaced him. But whos this guy on drums?
@Billabong368 I agree, TMV is all about Omar, he's been the sole director up to this point, but now I think he wants to change that. But I gotta say, as long as it took me to get into his voice, I really like Cedric as a frontman, and yeah he does write awesome vocal melodies, but it's a fact he can be quite shaky live sometimes.
his high register is out of tune and often times has a bad pitch. and this is coming from someone that considers the mars volta one of the best bands of the day. definitely one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. buuuttt.... i gotta be honest and he aint got no autotune nor several months in a studio to record and re record. but the rest of the bands performance is outstanding and im blown away by the sax player that pulls out the soprano sax, and flute, and percussion. hes the best!!!
@jasonnnf he's mexican buddy :p half german or something, but mexican nonetheless :p and grew up here in el paso, texas (really more of mexico than texas though)
This isTHE perfect song, you don't get any more beautiful then this.
But i was wondering, who the hell is drumming here? He's white so i was thinking Jon Theodore, but it looks like he's balding, and Jon Theodore is only like 35.
@SpookyAction123 Couldn't agree more... I've always wondered why Omar and the other musicians in this band tolerate Cedric's often sub standard live vocals.

@ENEMENCIO123VISION good call. They aren't jazz or whatever the fuck.....I think they are more into prog rock...but they are close to punk as well. When they were At the Drive in they aped a lot of old MC5 stuff. I guarantee you they started getting into a lot of 70's shit as well. Latin influences, like the band War and Carlos Santana. Fucking Mozart, go figure. Not even close.

I'm very confused about the history of Mars Volta drummers. Jon Theodore played on De-loused, FTM, and Amputechture right? and Thomas Pridgen played on the last two. And then Dave Elitch replaced him. But whos this guy on drums?

@maskedcrusader yeah this guy replace jon for a short period of time. his name is blake flemming.

cedric sucks. bring on the shit storm of people dissagreeing. he writes decent vocal patterns but lets be honest the mars volta is omar.

@Billabong368 I agree, TMV is all about Omar, he's been the sole director up to this point, but now I think he wants to change that. But I gotta say, as long as it took me to get into his voice, I really like Cedric as a frontman, and yeah he does write awesome vocal melodies, but it's a fact he can be quite shaky live sometimes.

his high register is out of tune and often times has a bad pitch. and this is coming from someone that considers the mars volta one of the best bands of the day. definitely one of my favorite bands, if not my favorite. buuuttt.... i gotta be honest and he aint got no autotune nor several months in a studio to record and re record. but the rest of the bands performance is outstanding and im blown away by the sax player that pulls out the soprano sax, and flute, and percussion. hes the best!!!

The Mars Volta is one of the few bands that have the talent to get away with things like naming a song "tetragrammaton." Man I love these guys.

This isTHE perfect song, you don't get any more beautiful then this.
But i was wondering, who the hell is drumming here? He's white so i was thinking Jon Theodore, but it looks like he's balding, and Jon Theodore is only like 35.
