[cnordmann13]

does anyone have tabs for the rhythm guitar part?



[dodongododgebal]

@cnordmann13 sadly, there seem to be few non tmv omar tabs out there...

[antblackburn]

This is awesome, why doesnt he use it for a mars volta song!!

[DayoOntheTube]

Damn, it's been so long since I listened to this. I almost forgot how great it is.

[Flammin5s]

FUCK MY LAPTOP. I have it turned up all the way and it's still not loud enough for Omar Rodriguez Lopez.

[FoShizlam]

2:58 til the end The soundtrack of the life of a serial rapist.

[jbacloud]

dude what



[nodnarbr420]

holy fuck

[mcnamarskiez]

omars TOO good to ever become mainstream.... volta, atdi, omar/cedric fans; are some of the luckiest musical fans in the world we dont ever have to worry about sellouts

[Leboylesanne]

@mcnamarskiez hipster status secured then. Mesmerizing track anyways

[mcnamarskiez]

@Leboylesanne hahaha

[ConnorShawMusic]

now this is what i call music

[JohnnyLDrama]

7 people have no taste in music..

[aenima98]

Could you save a lot of old money on your car insurance by switching to Geico?

...

Does Omar Rodriguez-Lopez make the coolest music ever?

[play video]

[AEnima461]

Fuuuuck this is good

[myMTVpicks]

omar rodriguez is pretty much the jimi hendrix of my generation, simply awesome

[samboyaus]

@myMTVpicks i feel more like he's the frank zappa of our generation. zappa was a genius composer and virtuoso guitarist, who released albums ridiculously frequently, and to play in his band you at to be amazing at your instrument. sounds just like omar hey?

[magicbag6790]

any amount of dislikes on this video, are actually jealously dislikes.

[MyOwnWorldMegan]

<3  .

[dodongododgebal]

@MyOwnWorldMegan indeed

[tunes2313]

This is the song that got me into this album. I get chills everytime I listen to it.

[AlecaPiper7]

i love Omar Rodriguez. More people should know this man.

[abarbar06]

im fucking jealous of omar. I wish i could create something this dam great.

[y2zgt]

I don't know anyone who uses a phaser better than Omar!!

[xInDiieKiiDx]

for those who don't know. Jon played on this track

[MaSoisSoful]

Actually, it was Marcel. I too thought it was Jon on the drums.

[MaSoisSoful]

No No No No, wait you're right. It was Jon. Apologies.

[uwagaspiewam]

fucking master! amazing music!

[BigTymerPimp]

This song sounds like Porcupine Tree's "Ambulance Chasing" if anything. I mean the guitar tone is so similar. The riff at the begining sounds kind of similar too. Both are great songs. Check that song out.

[MWRiff]

The delay reminds me of blackhole sun a bit... awesome track

[cravelo16]

this is awesome, no matter what technical bullsh*t you want to site. HATERSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[reservoirdog1]

Me encantaaaaa

[TheLaughingMan69]

perfect track to zone out to.

[kotsilas]

only 39,321 views? very funny

[JudgmentVampire]

@kotsilas 39,321 to 42,450 in one month? That´s sweet :D

[keitaro21]

@kotsilas only few people listen to good music nowadays

[Dalgobitches]

One of the sickest songs ever made right here!!! To Kadoushe - I hope you aren't saying that after listening to this you tube version, cause the studio version sounds perfect. This version is mono so you dont get any of the stereo field placement which is where all of his guitars are placed. I'm not saying you are wrong or anything of the sort just that this is a bad representation of the song. But this definately goes up there to me with old classic instrumentals like Maggot Brain

[kadoushe]

I think Rodriguez has gone a bit too far with those effects, it just sounds like a messy guitar solo, drowning in other distorted guitars

[Pinesol23]

i'm loving the delay modeler

[naumtenhomeio]

Here in Brazil when we like, we say: DUCARAI!

[alismor]

@naumtenhomeio in mexico we say chingon!!!

[quondeezco]

blah,blah...blah,blah,blah whatever

[DTRemcoG]

I bought the LP today. I'm not familiar with his works. Haven't heard it yet, so I hope I like it..

This does sound very good.. And I love The Power of Myth.

[abarbar06]

omg that was amazing, omar is the best ever

[TheVx333]

Mars Volta = One of the best bands in whole world!

Omar Rodrigez Lopez = Simply....one of the best mans who will live in this world

[shitfeast]

mars volta should make a song out of this one

[stevestjamesprogram]

holy mother of whoever.

[AZTECHSOL213]

Amazing music!! but even better, great message!! Rothschilds, Bilderberg group. Don't forget the message everyone...each one teach one...these forces cannot continue...spread the word.

[flambi16]

Un gran guitarrista... Realmente uno de los mejores a seguir.

[tmvps]

i love the fact that theodore is playing here :D

[k7twenty2]

waking up to this.....nothing quite like it..

[deadmilkmenareradd]

Marry me Omar.

[temporarily4ever]

omg hell ya

[DoroniaB]

:) what if he's only good with guitar,music, etc but doesn't know '' about the stuff''. Musicians are shy, quite often cause they're artist's :D

And this is really amazing 'song'. I wish to be as much talented as him. Thanks for vid.

[dammboy3]

3:40 oh my goood i love this

[k7twenty2]

this is what its all about...right here...

[98ShinO]

ohhhh!! Omar rodriguez-Fand!!!! tss eres genial aunke algunos discos son solamente ruidos jaja!1 ohh no los entiendo todavia! ja pero en general es un muy buen guitarrrista multi-instrumentista.. sus ritmos llemnos de energis junto con una guitarra melodica y experimental da komo resultado ha este mega personage de la esena experimental/progresiva!!! solo me pregunto kundo llegara a dar un buen concierto solo el u su grupo aka por le Cd de mexico!! muero por verlo asi en vivo!!!

[Set7obo]

si ai uno ai estare :D

[alismor]

@98ShinO well man, i saw omar playing goliath live in corona music fest in foro solo and let me tell you after you heard the guitar vs sax live you can die without problem

[keitaro21]

@alismor I will ! for sure !

[mff8785]

Did anyone foresee this album on the horizon? Megaritual sitting around for all the years? Releasing these two albums in the same year is uncanny. Did Omar plan on releasing them both at once? Or was it contract horse sh-t holding everything up?

[henryl083]

I made love to this song before* :) That was the best... I miss you Jake.

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

the album bedlam is cursed. its cursed like blood mountain and obzen and donuts. cursed to be the best fucking music man has ever made, since the 70s when we first started figuring this shit all out. can i get a shout out to hendrix, king crimson and cynic.

[4skin123]

You sure can! :D

[wuatenigenu999]

@CrystalTrees5mcs Bascially you just listed my favourite albums. Traced In Air is above all though

[af1sCore]

@CrystalTrees5mcs i dont get it

[aMimicDrone]

@CrystalTrees5mcs.... Fuck yea you can, crimson all the way, you can hear it, and then you know. my boys TOOL as well.. Fripp opened so many doors for guitarists, as well as hendrix. but.... Omar is an FN genius. so much feeling..you hit that nail on its big fat head my friend..cheers.

[bslz65]

@CrystalTrees5mcs if you just made a mastodon, meshuggah, and then a J DILLA refrence. then made a shout out to hendrix king crimson and cynic, YOU HAVE THE GREATEST TASTE IN MUSIC EVER!<3

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

@bslz65 HAHAHAHAHA yes thank you thank you! cant forget mahavishnu orchestra, the faceless or the roots.

[bslz65]

@CrystalTrees5mcs MAHA BE PRAISED! and the roots? your a cool dude man haha

[tanvo93]

@CrystalTrees5mcs wow the 1st time i saw shout out to Cynic..i saw them live like last year..they are an amazing band..and i saw the mars volta with soundgarden a few days ago..and u know what? i still havent found my head

[CrystalTrees5mcs]

@tanvo93 i wanted to go to that but man i could not shell out $60 for tmv.

[tanvo93]

@CrystalTrees5mcs it was a bastard..but i didnt know of any other concerts coming around besides LA rising which to me only had one GREAT band of course Rage Against the Machine..

[lookingatcrap]

first thing he's done in along time that i really dig

[quaecky]

Haunting and diaphanous

[ConsuescoCoaegresco]

omar says buy this album so he can buy more pedals and make cool music.

[Abeirut]

@ConsuescoCoaegresco jajajajajajajajaja x'D

[Wardr0id]

bedlam was awesome

[ImprobusVisio]

Bedlam is the album that just keeps on giving!, i agree, love bedlam

[lightthespiral]

it bothers me how people bash Bedlam so much. i love that album.

[ChessRockwel]

I agree. I've never heard a man speak like this man before.

[verdenodela1]

I love Bedlam too, as well as Cotopaxi.

[snehesten]

He remade solo project songs into Mars Volta album tracks, and they sound sick.. Wonder what a remake of this one would sound like

[monkryman411]

Magical I'm sure. I still like,"Rapid fire Tollbooth" better than,"Goliath" though :)

[SKORPIONQUEEN6767676]

wow just what i was thinking ive never heard this and when i did for the first time i automarically thought about pink floyd and santana, and i clicked on the more info tab and yes he was influenced by both. anyway im HOOKED NOW!

[dizWackshit]

wow thanks fo sharing Brenda...very cool sound man

[drumsex]

imo the best orl solo album!!!!

[LophoporianTree]

awesome fucking great

everything he touch turns into gold.

[jabob4444]

Its amazing the incredible work ethic he possesses, hes way past a point in his career where his music has just completely metamorphisized into his whole life, i personally dont think he just sits down and these records just bust themselves out i really think he applies his genius and really WORKS out all these songs into what they are..and what there are are master pices

[itmastadon]

sheer brilliance

[Ensivion]

Omar out does himself in all his pieces, it's like how does he even think of this. Amazing piece.

[represario]

omar is the best...!!!

[HellHound2390]

nothing better than this song with a joint in ur hand lol relax and enjoy hahahhaa

[bendubbzz]

yes! thats heaven haha

[HellHound2390]

men this fckign song rocks i cant get enough of it the jam is awesome where can i find songs like this anyone has other author like him?

[ameyalla]

que sueño!!!, esta bien chido el ritmo de omar... bien pegajoso. bien, mas rolas así

[Meatwad4dawin]

damn what a great jam!!!!

[DJScallywag]

everytime i listen to this i get so relaxed. i can just put this on in my car and fuckin cruise with out a care.. than throw on some old atdi cds..

[johnf1]

its cool i bought it. and i got despair. only 4 more to get now :). does anyone have any ideas what album his girlfriend sings on?

[JefeElMilagro]

She hasn't been on any albums yet, but judging from the material they've been playing together on his recent tour, she'll be on an upcoming one.

[johnf1]

does anyone know where i can hear the whole album? i will buy it just dont have money right now

[sith211]

limewire? haha but thats illegal lol

[nagysebestyen]

qualitative music and sound !

[tonyv107]

damn this is such a chill song, i can't stop listening to it

[ithasbroughtyouhere]

that was great!

[alex2frbnks]

Good vibes good vibes. lol

[yomalin]

fantastic

[stephpenk]

A strong album this one... some of his were too extreme for me. This is more musical.

[thepiper5]

and its spelled gilmour dumbass

[RossMongar]

the piper your so naive, how does gilmore of all people have a distinctive style, that's ironic cause i thought lopez has one of the most distinctive and most unique guitar styles i've heard

[thepiper5]

i just meant daves style is nothing of omars

[HuckPhin]

bad ass

[DandelionX5]

another awesome record, I can't wait for despair and megaritual... 3 delays already :S

[revolutionarywarfare]

this sounds really nice, reminds me of pink floyd

[thepiper5]

that is nothing of floyd. Dave has a much more distinct style

[revolutionarywarfare]

okay well i'm not really into this genre generally thats why i made that comparison...he surely has a distinct style

[intheband002]

yeah, which he has distinctly done the same thing with for years. anything after meddle is a bore.

[thepiper5]

not really every album by floyd is completly different and if u say that ur nothing but a poser not a real floyd fan

[tonyv107]

take it easy Mr.Keyboard warrior

[Computerdisplay]

man everybody is going to hate me for what im about to say...but though i love the mars volta and have followed their carrer for almost ten years now, i have to agree with you...i disliked Bedlam in Goliath, but well i respect the fact that they are trying to change their sound, i just prefer strongly their Tremulant-Amputechture era.

[jackandmeg2001]

I love how everyone gave me thumbs down for speaking the truth. You see, this is why people hate TMV fans like myself, because four or five fucktards decide to act like they're starring roles in Fatal Attraction 2 - Cedric OMG. It's just fucking bullshit. Gets really annoying.

[firstseason14]

i think they are going from strength to strength personally. whats a progressive rock band without progression? nothing is what. its cool to prefer stuff tho. its only nature. never means something is shit or bad tho. i'm a huge king crimson fan but i dont like much of the stuff they did when they reformed in the 80s- now. prefer the old orginal stuff (first 4/5 albums). i dont think its shit tho. i just prefer the sound of before!

[DysphoricExemption]

well atleast you explained yourself and didn't say "Fuck this band they sold out i hate them" i can respect that, when you get into volta as deep as i am it's hard to find a way out no matter how much it changes, it's like quick sand

[astroluxur]

I fail to see how Bedlam is that different from their other work. It's especially similar to Amp.

[Computerdisplay]

hey that's interesting, way you are probably right, they do have certain similarities, what i mean with "the difference between these two eras" is just the fact that other albums had like a lot of space between each instrument, and they created "spacy atmospheres", ive heard Omar wanted to creat a feeling of "claustrophobia" with Bedlam...and thats what i do like about this new sound, he is not selling out or anything, he just does what he wants, wether i like it or not xD hahaha

[astroluxur]

That's crazy I never heard he wanted to make the album claustrophobic, but one of the first times I listened to the cd I felt so claustrophobic I had to turn it off. No joke. Weird thing is that's never happened before either. I kept getting that feeling of being stuck in limbo. TMV is insane. heh.

[jabob4444]

i think thats why bedlam takes most of the hits sometimes because his clausterphobia feeling actually works and people cant listen to it lol

[obdandzigzag]

bingo

[aveamer]

I think is more likely cacophony. That albums is sometimes just plain unlistenable. I like it, but I find very hard to hear it all the way through. It's just too much noise. Maybe that's what Omar wanted, but it's unpleasant.

I find easier to hear a Meshuggah album than Goliath, for example. Or maybe it was just a terrible mixing.

[Katank404Zangetsu]

And I quote: "I'm not going to help you make this record. You're trying to do something very bad with this record, you're trying to make me crazy and you're trying to make people crazy." Omar's sound engineer who had previously worked on 15 of Omar's records before his mental breakdown working on Bedlam.

[misterfool509]

kinda reminds me of the way the sound engineers treated the velvet underground. they refused to be present during the recording of their debut because according to them it was all just bollocks. 40 years later ,vu and nico is regarded a legendary record. so just because the sound engineers don't like it doesn't mean the album can't pwn like hell.

[cbabi333]

When I listened to bedlam my first impression was that it was cursed and that some person whether it be the entire band or cedric or omar were trying to spread it or tell on it. It's really bold and I don't even listen to it in the daytime now. I think it's very frightening subject material. Besides the sound and composition itself being insane.

[ConsuescoCoaegresco]

thanks for posting the hilarious quote. what's the source?

[darkpumperrr]

I agree.

[ConsuescoCoaegresco]

I find it hard to listen to all the way through too because by the time I'm half way through my bed begins levitating and I start having lucid visions of a woman being murdered by a man with a long black beard. Anybody else?

[dammboy3]

yes me toooooooo

[edervolta24]

yeah thats what it was " a terrible mixing"

[AlienVolta]

Do you ever get that feeling, when you listen to a new song or an old song, it doesn't matter, the tingling goosebumps that run from the bottom of your back up, to out your arms, and you just cringe a bit in a good way, almost wanting to cry out of such happiness that this melody could be the one to soothe you at that moment in time. The first time is always the best. At least with Omar's work, I almost want to cry.

[irrabmaralekim]

totally understood

[mocachinomacdaddy]

err... no that's just you

lol

[redlik]

moca is missing out.. probably doesnt have a soul..

[EnriquePage91]

THIS IS FUCKING BRILLIANT

[littleluke136]

=D yeah but when i found this i was stoned

[uberblazed421]

u could'nt listen to this shit on some strong acid,man.....no way,man.

[jus7o]

oh man

[littleluke136]

its like the greatest harmony inside

[larkstongues666]

sick

[rocker2713]

omar fucking rules

[Erikvanliktenstein]

FRICKEN LOVE THIS SONG

[SIEG32]

haaaah reminds me of banned videos...

[itsme159no]

I like
