Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Private Fortunes (Old Money)

[cerpinTHEmute]

can we kill the IRS?

[TheAnimatronic]

Omar just went modal.

[clovengoatlord]

@chud89 I get that you want to be the guy that celebrates other races for their accomplishments, but that's actually racism. As a white guy it irritates me that it's completely OK to say ORL is cool because his race makes him play guitar well, and it's completely offensive to say anything in the same regard about white people. I'm going to play the unprecedented white card, and say he's just a good musician.

[scatpack]

@clovengoatlord hey im shocked monkeys can play instruments thatwell

[THEREisLEO]

@clovengoatlord It's called culture. No racism. Just to give an example Caribbean (puertoricans, cubans, dominicans, jamaicans) and africans tend to be superior percussionist and to have more soul-full musical tendencies. It's not racism, it's culture. It's the way there soceity has been shaped. Not to be a hater, nor to start a flame, but if you see it as offensive you have some racist issue going on with yourself.

[LoveJFrusciante]

eargasmic

[laur44n]

sex

[XguitarrockerX]

Is it just me, or does it look like he uses a wound G string?

[aquababie07]

@XguitarrockerX yea, in a guitar world interview this past year he said he's always used thicker-than-normal gauge strings, calling himself a "brute."

[dukefiya]

@XguitarrockerX looks like it but that would be so annoying if your looking to bend

[RightBrainsMusic]

@XguitarrockerX Yes, he plays 13s with wounded G.

[koolmaaan]

@RightBrainsMusic holy s*** that must be impossible to vibrato on frekin 13s... amazing song btw!

[Jalkotsu]

my favorite off of this album.

[coquimani]

9 people need to die!

[flipmanja]

@coquimani Haha, they probably are already dead on the inside :)

[s4msam]

Reminds me of the desert theme in The Legend of Zelda:Marora Mask.

[Nixtattoo]

Agree tho... Hendrix rocks. Maybe if he was alive they would have done some projects.

[Nixtattoo]

@nigmar .... Sorry youtube from iphone has spell check!!

[TheDannydrum]

MAESTRO!!!!!

[crank6666666]

great!

[Nixtattoo]

Dude Omar blows Hendricks out the water!!!!!!

[nigmar]

@Nixtattoo lol coming from someone who can't even spell Hendrix, that doesn't mean much. I love them both for the record

[pedrohhjob]

How like this shit?? Como ibanez pratrocina essa merda

[LoveJFrusciante]

@pedrohhjob english motherfuck-er do you speak it? if not than do not try to speak it please

[liverawkstar]

@LoveJFrusciante the persons name encased in your screen name would detest you for saying such a bigoted thing... after all and especially since brown blood and tongue are the origins of California and most of the south west!

[Ilovepieandchips]

@pedrohhjob You shouldn't be listening to him then. Dissonance is not for you.

[ryanlk]

Omars guitar solo's are so bad. I love his writing but he needs to stop "bullshiting" on the guitar

[cocomaire]

This bass line sounds so similar to "Number 15" by the Beta Band.

[optical76]

genius.

[agadez100]

I love this track thanks SSR

[marcelodevetula]

have a listen to the music of marcelo ramos (synthesizer+piano).

[ConnorShawMusic]

hes amazing!!

[joseehan]

at this point can i buy stock in this guy

[interpolluter29]

To think Omar used to really hate the guitar.

[vicethehawk1]

@interpolluter29 he still does. he says he hates it, so he tries to make i soud like something else.

[MUGGS077]

Correct.

[Merjia]

Thats what he said around the At The Drive in era and with De-Loused, he has stated that he feels more comfortable with it when they were doing Amputechture.

[momsman09]

god i love this song!!!.....ORL is awesome!!!!

[chud89]

this what a good batch of some herb, talent, and latin blood can do

[TeslaSMTM]

@chud89 and having a heavy heroin past! :D

[Afireinside1312]

I love this Contrast between the bass and the rhytmh guitar just like somethings wrong and this is what pulls you into this song and then like 80XY said the solo guitar just tells the own story.Like from a different world.Definetly great and special!

[80XY]

The instant you hear the lead line over lapping the music, just the sound, you can tell its Omar, its as if his guitar work has become a character in a story, you instantly can recognize his voice, telling you a tale of other worlds.

[MsDomexicana]

i can just listen 2 dis over and over!

[arjunpanda126]

just to clear this up, anyone who 'hates' on ganja as an evil substance has never lit up and listen to this album. although it is great sober nonetheless...

peace

[dboisouth]

much agreed

[emArisKa93]

this man is goood!!

[ConsuescoCoaegresco]

I am fucking pro at digging this shit.

[dekmektsis]

The guy you're referring to has studied Classical music. He's a genius. What do you have to offer humanity that's so great? You need to check yourself.

Dimitra Ekmektsis

[skaterskagg1]

You think studying classical music automatically makes you a genius? You sad, poor person.

[Zaimk]

Well back in the day this guy used to do opiates but not that much. In many interviews he states how laughable it is that people think you have to be "high" to play music like this. Really all he is doing is just exploring himself through music just like you do in any art or hobby.

Also, wouldnt you say it wrong to just label people with the word "weird" and then simply set them aside. It seems that weird is just another term for unkown which can be the most interesting to explore.

[MAC616]

high...

[SpunkMouth69]

great comment

+1

[davidmhodgey]

lick my hoop

[dekmektsis]

The comment after mine was directed to your statement. Dimitra

[grungethequeen]

lemme tell you, you are certainly NO guitar goddess.

come on, man, just sit back and let that sweet guitar slide along your skin.

and no, they are not "just weird" or high all the time when they write their songs.

jeez.

[whitenoize086]

this is spectacular where can i get this music on cd

[iLoveCombatVets]

@whitenoize086  rodriguezlopezproductions com

[varethika]

listen!

boil some 10 Hawaian shrooms for about 10-15 minutes, call your good friends home, put some nice lights on, serve the tea with a bit of honey in the mug-no sugar, dont smoke for the next hour or so.. you'll really see amazing things listening to this album.

please dont do this if you're on your own or under age!

[sprite384]

He has his own SIG Ibanez...

[dekmektsis]

Is there anything this man can't do?

[MUGGS077]

2:32 - 2:40 he makes his guitar sound like a salsa beat. Just wondered if anyone else noticed that...

[Kimmlau]

Put on some headphones.

Light one up... take a deep breath... close your eyes... and let the music take you to the deepest places in your mind.

[chud89]

you know whats up!!! bro this song is intense

[OriginalJesus]

I just did exactly that andit really isn't all that intense.

[Kimmlau]

Its not to intense.. but its good to just lean back.. chillout... :)

[militiaslays]

get high... get really REALLY high...

[ramoyosoy]

drugs are baaad

[militiaslays]

Omar would disagree. Most of The Mars Volta and Omar's other artistic outputs have been the result of many different "drugs".

[Kimmlau]

It depends how you use it.

[Lreg478]

hey man who cares what this man looks like or whether or not he always had glasses, just listen to the amazing works of art he creates.

[bairrocorderosa]

Amazing stuff.

[macizo25]

i love his work , I noticed here some Santana sounds

[deathrockunion]

hes always had glassess?

[xIAMDAVEx]

I love the guitar on 2:32 - 2:38

catchy

[Son37Lumiere]

Omar looks pretty nerdy but damn does he make some good music.

I love this track.

[Imatotalass]

he used to look way more badass. but he has the glasses and pedo mustache now.

[Katank404Zangetsu]

yeah, I guess he's trying to look and sound more sophisticated but then there is always kung pao.

[nirv420]

ahh lmao..

but i wouldnt say its a pedo mustache...

i did like him in jst the band tee in the atdi days, but i still digg the trendy new omar with the vest and blazer

[preckcote]

muy buenos sonidos

[39cuki]

is omar Ximena Sarinana's boy friend?

[hansph00508]

yes

[chickenbaby12]

Am I missing something? Sounds like me playing at 15 years old...and that ain't a good thing. I'll listen to more of his stuff and make an informed decision then.

[r3b3link]

The guy is brilliant, and I agree....you are missing something.

[chickenbaby12]

naw, you just got caught up in the hype too. this is horrible.

[interpolluter29]

It takes plenty of spacing out (way, way out), and translating what's in your consciousness to music for your understanding of Omar's compositions to snap together.

[stonedruid69]

That is beautiful,didn't think he could top Coma Pony but the guy just pulls it out of the hat every time,God bless you Omar.

[godisintheradiodear]

he's got the nastiest guitar sound ever. probably a good thing

[rcnoodle99]

shit....

[raxc5]

Steven Wilson... Thats it

[AussieYobbo]

im so thankful omar exists..continues to push the boundaries of modern music and create such diverse music ,because im so bored of music and am always on the look for something that interests me,and MV and omar fulfils me just nicely.

[iliketofuckchildren]

I'll fulfill you just nicely

[TheDivineAberration]

AHAHHAHA

[OpaqueMoonlight]

@AussieYobbo like a boring libido, where the same ol same ol just inst pleasing you any more, omar's music gives you an eargasm like youv yet to experience.

[mouldymould]

Sweet tune.

[kymusabi]

i read on wikipedia that Omar has hinted that this was what amputecthure was going to sound like, it doesn't surprise me but i prefer this album over amputechture.

[canbekalakay]

actually, he said that it was the album after amputechture.

[kymusabi]

that more sense then from what i read.

[SpunkMouth69]

People aren't going to agree with me on this one but i agree with respects to Omar. That's the thing I love about music no has the same opinion about songs and albums or else we would all be robots. But Amputecthure was a good album though, way better than the shit you here on the radio thats for sure.

[LoNgBoArDsFoRLiF]

Omar Rodriguez Lopez  is awsome Marz volta sucks! They may be the same ppl, but its not the same music.

[Buddyisabutt]

Music for musicians.

[ieatmusic1]

music for music Appreciators, Ive played a few instruments and still play the guitar but i wouldnt call myself a musos, maybe hobby muso but I have friends that love this stuff that dont play instruments, prob because they are tired of the same old shit

[Buddyisabutt]

Wow im surprised i thought. There wasnt any more like you fellas left in the world. There's so much shitty music out there i makes me vomit! really( jk) but seriously i apologize if I in any way offended u or your friends.

[ieatmusic1]

no not at all, just know the torch will be carried so music can evolve (And stay the same). Good music will be known forever, souless music will die early and wont be remembered (for any positive reasons anyway) But you still need shitty music for the souless, bubblegums who r trapped inside their walls to enjoy, which is ok too. We will never kill Mr Jones, if you know what im sayin (cheesy bob Dylan reference

[Buddyisabutt]

I agree completely, thank you for your utmost respect and understanding. hahaha im sorry i dont kno that lyric. but i do Love Mr Dylan. im srry i feel like an idiot haha.

[ieatmusic1]

Your far from an idiot

[in2blc]

the mars volta sucks balls.

screaming, crash symbols.

sucky ass guitar.

he himself, is good i guess

but that song, and every other song sucks so bad.

i cant listen to that fuckin noise.

its plain shit.

get over it

[alejo023]

so... why don't you go and listen coldplay or something

[in2blc]

y dont you,

suck my dick.

=]

[in2blc]

ok like really,

its not that good.

messy, and dont go right with the beat.

i mean, good licks, but cmon, that wasnt even close to the best.

[letshakehands]

what guitar is that, I can't read it at the top.

[canbekalakay]

Ibanez. It's his signature model, the ORM-1.

[tocotronerin]

so bloody good

[prusaklol]

Oh my God. He is God

[cdrumz]

OMAR SHOULD DO AN ALBUM WITH MADLIB

[kdouglas24]

omar and madlib together..............the world would fucking explode.

[thecall4]

ooooooooooh, that would be fire!

[cdrumz]

CATS AINT READY FOR DAT HOMIE HAHA...

[kdouglas24]

fuck you just made me choke on my subway sandwich...i can't stop laughing.

[Crawtachio]

HAHAHAHA. THAT'S FUCKING FUNNY! Oh god.

[kdouglas24]

this guy knows how to create good music.

[sourmind]

great sound's. say hi to europe for me.

[heartyhoopz1184]

this sounds like santana's caravanserai getting HIGHER on lsd

thats a good thing : )

[HeavingCookies]

Oh shit, does it also have something to do with sound? Cause this shit sounds amazing

[VacantPsalm]

Yes, but the better sound quality is just a little bonus to the glory that is hi-def Omar hair follicles.

[VacantPsalm]

Aw man, I just now noticed the "watch in high def" button. Wish I knew about that sooner. :p

[HeavingCookies]

OH yeah, the hair follicles right below his nose in hi-def is way worth it.

poopcheese

[MiNunderthesun]

i hope he watched zeitgeist

[EnriquePage91]

is this song new?? never heard it before:S it's amazing... as always with Omar..

[NickB33]

Omar Rodriguez - putting FEELING back into music.

[mcmurryaaron]

from this point on i devote my life to sounds and music.

[eyecantnow]

what's up McMurder!!! i dig this stuff too!! i miss you homie. in case you don't recognize the lingo, this is d.v.saavedra

[PeaceKarmaLove]

Ah..love this song.

[SIEG32]

wow nice^.^....gotta get dis album - maybe ill try 1st -....fer shure....hope its better den Absence Makes the Heart Grow Fungus....

[ododbobo]

right, some people are really blinded by they're idols and like everything they do, they would eat they're crap if there were some pepper on it, absence makes the heart grow fungus is basiclly a crappy album. but love omar still. hope i get -7 so i beat you

[onemind44]

[ododbobo]

ok, yes it is, there were two song on that album i didnt know of, i thought they were on minor cuts scrapes blah, i rest my case... PS it is good you dont know what i am smoking

[tonyv107]

i don't think you're smoking anything, i just think you're that retarded

[ododbobo]

you're retarded

[tonyv107]

and you're a fag

[ododbobo]

your dad is

[tonyv107]

your point is?

[ododbobo]

that your dad is fag

[tonyv107]

[ododbobo]

tony107cocksintheass

[tonyv107]

wow get off my nuts homo

[ododbobo]

well, you are the one coming back for more, if i put my dick in your mouth, would you bite it off?

[Son37Lumiere]

Do you have homoerotic dreams often? You shouldn't suppress those feelings, it just makes you a hypocritical doofus.

[ododbobo]

yes dr phil you saved my again

[ieatmusic1]

lol, i usually hate that kind of shit but this for some reason made me laugh, you guys must be mates

[tonyv107]

hey, i take all talk like that with a grain of salt...i never take any online comments seriously and i laugh at all the trolling =). And no, we aren't mates but i do have friends with whom i would joke like that

[tonyv107]

you sound like a little bitch

[ododbobo]

i am 12 that, maybe thats why

[tonyv107]

thats amazing, now go suck a dick

[ododbobo]

i dont now why i am talking shit to you actually, i did it because of some unknown pleasure, sorry tony. if you dont want to stay friends thats okey, i understand

[elllobabeh]

god, I want to make beautiful love to this song under a nice palm tree then suddenly a coconut will fall on his dick as im fucking him and I will walk away, and this song will get louder as I dissapear into the darkened, dim light highway

[ElHajjMalikElShabbaz]

quite an imagination there boss....

[elllobabeh]

his music paints a story in my head, no joke. silly story i suppose

[mcmurryaaron]

hell yea

[gloopylopez12]

why would a coconut fall on his dick? wouldnt that hurt him?

[jmmatos23]

nice but, how the fuck will a coconut fall on his did if you-ll be on his dick_ the coconut would fall on you.

[Son37Lumiere]

Since when does a song have a dick?

[metronomepulse]

reminds of non zero possibily

:D

[dizoone]

¨!!!!!!

[matthewschark]

Dig it hard! Why can't we get this cool trippy stuff on Volta albums?

[interpolluter29]

Because those who aren't fans of Mars Volta's antics complain about it so much. I wouldn't blame him carrying his music explorations with other albums, before heading back to Mars Volta.

[grungethequeen]

he doesn't do solo projects for the freedom of not having the mars volta label on that music.

actually, most of his music hasn't even been released and it eventually makes it onto a mars volta album. [he makes music to practice & get the greatest songs onto TMV]

the thing is, he's literally experimenting when he goes solo.

and he's just an amazing fucking musician who can create sooooo much of this insane shit that he can't wait to put it all on TMV, TMV's like a PROCESS, like the magnus opus.

[4skin123]

Very interesting point man. Either way, Omar's f-ing brilliant.

[SpunkMouth69]

Omar doesn't just decide to make music for his solo albums or TMV he makes music for the love of it.

[protestante]

@grungethequeen

Nice quote you got from an interview ORL gave some time ago (: He's an excelent musician. One of the greatest in the present, for sure.

[HieroSkave]

oh for sure
