Mars Volta with John Frusciante (9/25/06)

[onrcpr]

John and his huge effectboard

[undervenued]

I WAS THERE!!!!!

[agadez13]

the only reason people are disliking this is because they weren't there. thinking of doing it myself out of jealousy...

[ddvs2012]

@agadez13 or the shit quality

[jadrummer110]

This is a trainn wreck piece of shit band.

[BMXorHOMICIDE]

@jadrummer110 my moms a train wreck piece of shit band faggot!

[chumanjames]

its because of pre-prog rockers like Pink Floyd why we have post prog rockers like Mars volta

[321Green1Fork123]

the camera cant capture how it ACTUALLY sounds live anyways. If uve ever been to a concert and filmed something ud know

[SebbyHo88]

to bad its a wall of sound

[jcast18k]

PINK FLOYDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDD!!!!!!!!! =D

[lukegranger89]

Lol at idiots comparing guitarists. It's all subjective, the only thing that you can say for certain is that john is more famous. END OF DISCUSSION.

[AckAttack77]

this is amazing.

[veryintricated]

that cat's something I can't explain. como que le hicieron un tributo a sid barret

[MrKarencitha]

no me gusto nada de eso

[hippie1685]

OMFG interestellar overdrive whoooooooohoooooooooo always wondered how would mars volta play a song fromthe piper at the gates of dawn

[AbsoluteZeroMusic]

this is mars volta, playing with Fursciante and together there playing interstellar overdrive from pink floyds first album which has put me threw some of the most intense trips of my life.

enjoy,

[Scumbagization]

HOLY SHIT OMAR AND JOHN PLAYING SYD!!!!! KILL ME NOW

[fabsthevamp]

frusciante has no shit on Rodriguez Lopez

[Akshay8585]

@fabsthevamp erm ...nope, frusciante is a level ahead, similar approaches to music, but john is much ahead!

[dedemaister]

@fabsthevamp why do you have to compare them? they're obviously 2 of the most mind blowing guitar geniouses alive and they're actually good friends.if omar didn't appreceate john and vice versa they wouldn't have worked together so many times.arguing about who's better is pointless really :)

[drezor410]

fuckin brutal../

[vizcacha5]

damn, the camera has a really shitty mic

[ImadeITwithYOURmom]

۞--THE MARS VOLTA--۞

[theanimegod]

Stop complaining. There's so much going on in their music that of course it won't sound like the album versions where everything is layered. 

[cannabisdeathmorbs]

im fukin wasted bitch!!

[crazy8rgood]

INTERSTELLAR OVERDRIVE?

WHAT?!!?!?!?!

FUCKING AWESOME

[nelson3300]

fuck yes pink floyd!!!

[GoDiSdEaDXTCisnat]

Wow that sounded fucking horrible

[AliceInBlotterLand]

@GoDiSdEaDXTCisnat wow you sound fucking stupid

[Pezreh]

@AliceInBlotterLand It sounded horrible because of the mic, no need to call someone stupid.

I'm sure it was great live.

[shaperofsound]

@GoDiSdEaDXTCisnat no one said you had to listen to it douche

[inoms8a]

John and Omar are like the guitar frontman for their band, it must be difficult trying to share the spotlight in a band with like 10 people, especially if you have a lot to show/express. Two greats just shouldnt be together, its unbalancing and jesus people calm down its a live show and its different than the CDs what more could u want

[letshakehands]

I love this band, I love there style, there drummer is a genius, and one of my favourites but I don't think I will ever like the singing, its just not for me.

[VIPAGE7]

Interestellar Overdrive :O

Fucking awesome!

[Gameraflames666]

i wish there was a concert dvd of this performance

[zekecaa901]

hmm the best part sounded like the last 2 secs of this recording. wish we could of heard that solo!

[SKEvil]

TMV has cleaned up their sound a lot from the 06-07 shows. They also cut down the band down a few members.

TL;DR = don't judge them off of this, look at their older and more recent (2009) shows to see how awesome they are

[dragyourhalo]

this is a terrible recording

[chuckp235]

i saw these guys live and they sucked. even in an interview the mars volta guitarist called himself a "phoney". whatever - i don't care. enjoy this music if you like it - i just think mars volta sucks.

[ConnorShawMusic]

amazing cover!! i have an acoustic cover of take the veil from de-loused if you would care to listen..fellow TMV fans !! :)

[GoGoNards]

i was at this tour MARS VOLTA/RHCP. Volta was horrible! their sound was ear covering! sounded like a bunch of racket. they need to control their tones or get a better sound man!

[canthinkverywell]

@GoGoNards listen to their recordings, our videos of their shows following deloused, or videos of their shows following octahedron.

[doal92]

this can be listen. But in a good sound quality not in this shity video...

[hsp882]

interstellar overdrive pink floyd cover amazing

[chuckp235]

this is a joke. not listenable. be realistic. loud cacophonous racket.

[squirtizzleskates]

i think it's ironic that you're suggesting everyone who listens to the mars volta to be realistic.

[chuckp235]

barely listenable. i could do that. frusciante is a badass but i'm sorry......this is kinda a joke. i saw mars volta live and could not hear what they were playing live then either. loud cacophonous racket- that's all. people will catch on.  too many other choices of music via the internet. work harder man!

[okamasphere]

omar and the other guy are fucking idiots for letting pridgen go. Easily the 2nd best thing to be in the band.

[lemonkid44]

pridgens still in the band stupid. unless you meant to say jon theodore

[Jkamria014]

@lemonkid44 no dude pridgens out dude....read his wikipedia theres a quote of him talking about his departure.

[lemonkid44]

oh wait. i was wrong

forget i said that

[jekyl31]

Interstellar overdrive, just awesome !!!

[johnfrusciante46]

ES INSTALLER OVERDRIVE!!!!

[luxo777]

this is a pink floyd song, astronomy domine.... :)

[marcellduchamp]

NO! Interstellar Overdrive.

[enculpio]

Why do you dumb shits talk so much?

[Rockabilly500]

ahh no way interstellar overdrive!!! FUCK YEAH!!!!

[iputmyhanduponmyhip]

damn.. just damn, i wish i could hear the rest of it...

[vegadomis32988]

haha yeah nice david gilmour.. but john is his own style

[Fallinldols]

ahaha intertellar overdrive yusss

[NIRVlime123]

why does john sit on the floor the whole time?

[benoslaw123]

Cause he wanted to act like D. Gilmour on Live At Pompei

[54321FUCKYOU]

Interstellar Overdrive wow.

[Saladbowl]

I hope I´ll live to see John at a Volta concert some days as well...

[itsMrNoble]

I know they're great and everything but I do wonder sometimes how TMV became so huge given what they do.

[mattgk2]

I think the same way about the Beatles

[dipbird]

How? Passion, talent, devotion on their behalf, and the other major half, media.

[itsMrNoble]

Don't patronize me guy. I'm not questioning their passion talent or self devotion. My point being that they are extremely unconventional and therefore hardly a recipe for mainstream success.

[FEBRAX89]

holy shit!!! this song its pure pleause to my ears and with the mars volta and john fusciante its ten thousand times better!!

[kcto1988]

barret es el mejor de todos, me parece exelente que volta le haga este tipo de reconocimientos...

[DonLuc]

HOLY CHRIST!!! Was that the beginning of the set??

[MinorMeriwether]

fuck there loud the best.

[seethepatterns]

da da da dada dad dada dad ada da!!! Fuck yaHHHH!!

[mouldeck]

oh my!

too bad the sound is not good on the video... damn, i wish i could have seen this song live!!

[superjules]

Interstellar Overdrive! Classy!! Any band that starts off with Barret era Floyd is fine by me

[koiiom]

Ya all ass bitches yeah fuck you bitches

[mouldeck]

lol

[gimpyFG71]

I wish the sound quality didn't suck ass.

[swagdout09]

like the kill bill beginning. saw them with the chilis in denver they were fucking weird as hell, but the chillis tore open a hole in the galaxy

[sallybish]

you all stupid people who said "I like them.. but live they suck" . I've seen them 5 times!!! y all of them were awesome.. to see all those musicians doing what they do best, is one of the best experiences in my life!!! Maybe for some people is a little difficult to listen and appreciate all this, so.. go and listen hannah montana LOL

[LaCooper]

ive seen them twice. the first time at a large venue.. they were amazing.. incredible.. then at a small venue and then i found them too loud.. they were awesome still but it hurt the ears at times.

[ORz42]

ear-plugs, don't go to a concert without them.

[HispanicImpression]

WORD ! This is what I've learned from my first TMV concert. Regarding this performance I wouldn't have known on whom guitarist's hand to look, if I was there. I guess I took John Frusciante, because you don't hear him making awesome music anymore for years now... since 1991... although he's a freaky talented musician just like Omar...

[saponavedi]

lol SINCE 1991???

Then you think that Cafornication sucks... is that right?

[HispanicImpression]

@saponavedi The album is nice, but ain't such a masterpiece like Blood Suger Sex Magic or other early RHCP-albums.

[naengnaeng]

is this their take on 'interstellar overdrive' by floyd?

[SubsistenceSC]

Yes it is.

[tonyv107]

i love TMV but their live concerts are way too loud for my taste

[monkfishstuff]

that can be true! but if you dont wearplugs for tmv, you should give it a try because at those volumnes you can actually hear MUCH more with earplugs because it wipes out all the excess. You can like...hear the keyboardist haha.

[xonextruthx]

this is true earplugs at smaller venues make the show a lot better, you dont get all that white noise buzzing in your ears.

[ieatmusic1]

haha I agree with you, i like to be consumed with sounds, but not to the point that its just painful noise. First gig of theirs i went to wasnt too loud, i could hear everything clearly.

[nicolasdurruti]

great show, great band.

If you hate mars volta, you probably should be listening hannah montana.

[OrochiShiki]

LMAO, dude said "Hannah Montana"!

But yeah, this is some good stuff right here.

[eteokles3]

i saw them  once and that had to be the worst concert ive ever been to. i even left half way through their set, because i didnt recognize at least one song. well, yesterday i went to the omar rodriguez-lopez group and that was a feast for ears. i just assume that their music doesnt work out in big places, because there is too much going on...

[vinielol]

why is the qualiti so fucking shit now i cannot hear anything but a rattle :S

big disappointment

[stonecold51506]

probably coz a live concert is loud. . . just a thought

[rrsleepyjean]

Holy shit.... so many people saying shit like- "I like them but live they suck" Ummmm..... live they CHANGED MY MOTHER FUCKING LIFE LIVE and they had already changed it with their albums!!! Why would you want a concert to sound just like the CD- that's boring! Why not go to concert that is going to surprise you, keep you on your toes, give you something more than you can get on just the CD-- Each concert is like a one in a lifetime thing.

[FairiesWearBootz]

yes sir

[rtstein07]

hell ya! they rock live! never been to anything else like it, by far the best concert i've been to

[GuitarLord71]

exactly. i wouldnt want to just listen to the album again at a concert.

[MelloYellow2099]

@rrsleepyjean thats true...but it'd be better if it sounded good.

[tr0picalpopsicle]

wowowowowoww

interstellar overdrive pink floyd intro was amazing. chiiiiiiilllllsssssss

[HuckPhin]

aaaaaaaah they cut it off just when they started to mellow out and groove

[STBSeb]

why does john ALWAYS feel the need to get on his knees? lol.

[Nurczi]

You know...he's gettin' old ;D It is natural in his age ;) (joke)

[cseikaly18]

That's what she said!!!

[pubiclairing]

Can u feel the atmos.I know i can!

[TheEdibleShoe]

They opened up for RHCP at the concert I went too. They where horrible everybody went in the hall cause it was so fucking loud

[dukehoops]

I love the Mars Volta, but i have to agree with u there. Saw them in NJ and they were just terrible

[silycaon]

aww poor chili peppers fans need their hands holding from the load noises

[TheEdibleShoe]

No. The band sucks anyways. It was loud as fucking hell. You have no idea. You couldn't even hear yourself it was so loud. It just sounded like trash.

[silycaon]

haha don't surprise me, sorry being a twat i am

[obdandzigzag]

haha, too loud for the chili fans. haha. so loud because of the positive vibrations you see. you would not understand. when i heard them live it took me like 4 minutes too even recognize the song. they were SO fucking loud. it was a small venue though

[syrensoundz]

thats kinda how it was at a deftones concert i went to...i could only figure out 1 song that they played throughout their whole set....but anyway TMV is the fuckin shit and John F. is the closest thing we got to a hendrix feel....

[chrisjeffsmusic]

1. The Mars Volta does not suck, that is subjective.

2. What do you expect for a band with 8 or more members? you try and mic up a band that big and have everyone sitting in the mix clearly at the volume the chilis (4 members) usually play at. Good luck.

[lilrascal014]

John and TMV doing Interstellar Overdrive.They f*@cking rocked it!Syd Barretts smiling down!Wish I'd been at that show.

[420allday69]

Ya I've heard they play this song and i've always wanted to hear what they do with.

[yoyoyoson]

what does omar say in the beginning?

[irontimma]

Probably something that mocks the crowd that is there to see the chili peps.

[flipzoso]

"Cedric's been listening to a lot of Yellow Card and weird bands like that, so we asked him to stay home."

He's just joking around, Cedric was sick that night. He blew out his voice two days earlier at the solo shows in Chicago and Milwaukee.

[charli366]

sry i didn t get it:D what's about the song before interstellar overdrive?

[yoyoyoson]

anyone know the song in the beginning?

[oskardadogg]

fistful of dollar

[tmichutka]

Pink Floyd - Interstellar Overdrive

[ShaunLeeWilliams]

Yay Pink Floyd :D but like... heavy as shit! Love it!

[redlik]

the only time it picked up for me was the last 15 seconds

[TELLITLYKITIS]

she is really beautiful. im prettier tho! I

[Fittygitty]

the fistfull of dollars intro is the most powerful shit ever

[adaz450]

this reminds me of borris the spider....any1 with me?

[ibanezrawker]

well if it wasnt for the bad sound quality this would be teh best vid ive ever seen with these two bands..

[TheNewThink]

these ain't two bands. John is contributing a lot to the Mars Voltas discography, and can almost be counted as a cousin of Cedric and Omar in the Mars Volta-family. occasionaly he joins in rockin out live, and this is how hot it gets

[DominicAMG]

wtf are you on about?

[ibanezrawker]

oh so appearantly that isnt the ENTIRE band of RHCP? last i checked, mars volta had only 1 drummer, not 2.

[tims18]

they have two drummers

[funkbassboy]

Okay. No, they have HAD 2 drummers, the old one was Jon Theodore, the new Thomas Pridgeon. And thenewthink is right, John has not only played on a couple of tmv albums, but he has been on a few of Omar's solo ones too. Omar has also been working with the chili peppers and is featured in some Frusciante solo stuff too.

[irontimma]

Flea also played bass on DeLoused, due to the absence of a bassist on TMV's part. I am also pretty sure that Frusciante has a solo on "Goliath" off of TMV's newest album. Listen to the second solo and don't you dare tell me that its how Omar plays it.

[PenStab]

John Frusciante's all over the Bedlam in Goliath album! But you are correct, he has that killer solo in "Goliath". Such an amazing album.

[mrasla]

alans psikedelic breakfast! lovely!

[kvrska]

Interstellar Overdrive you mean?

[mrasla]

YEAHHHH I mean thattt sorry lol XD

[siphis23]

my sister was at this concert .. the video is awsum too

[knfeem72]

john mayer you are just wonderful and amazingly ok

[tquizzle23]

ive seriously had enough of you. seriously. why do you watch all their vids? just to hate on them? seriously. i will stop annoying you if you post of vid of you playing guitar to ilyena by mars volta OR snow by red hot chili peppers.

[funkbassboy]

hey, guess what!

YOU suck! :)

have a nice day with all those friends you don't have

[un4given99999]

they must have opend for the chili peppers because look how far up there drum set is.

[80XY]

Yeah they did a tour with them, aparently they were the best band to support Chili's

[peterfitz64399]

ooooo i dunno, they've had nirvana, smashing pumpkins, pearl jam, flaming lips and a couple of others tour with them, mars volta are probably my favourite outta them though

[funkbassboy]

Haha, as if the mars volta's stage wasn't already crowded... they still managed to fit Frusciante's three marshall stacks in.

btw, some of you losers below need to get lives and stop arguing on fucking youtube... who cares if someone said something stupid - I know it sounds silly, but there are lots of people around the world, and lots of people who say lots of stupid things. get used to it.

[chicklettes]

Agreed!

[IdleHandsStudios]

interstellar overdrive for the win

[clungepuncher]

incredibly boring

[mrabatich2]

I love froosh, but that was terrible.  BAMBAMBAM BAMBAM BAM BAM I couldn't hear shit.

[fireadept007]

not john's fault, it was the cameras fault dipshit

[mrabatich2]

Actually dipshit, I was there, fucking asshole. Mars Volta has problems live sometimes, I've seen them 4 times. You know what, fuck you, eat shit and die, how about that. When in doubt, shut the fuck up.

[fireadept007]

Well you didn't say mars volta, you said John was and I quote "terrible" and if you really hope that someone would die over a youtube comment, you really are the lowest form of a human.

[mrabatich2]

a: I didn't say john was bad, read it again. I said I couldn't hear shit, as in muffled sound.

b: learn to detect hyperbole, what the hell do you expect, you insult me I'm gonna insult you back, don't say anything if you can't deal with people calling you on your bullshit.

[fireadept007]

"I love froosh, but that was terrible" If that's not saying you thought John was bad that night I don't know what is. And dude, it's the fucking internet not that serious.

[mrabatich2]

sigh, it means the exact opposite. As in I like his playing, but the sound at the show was terrible, that has absolutely nothing to do with his playing. You're just looking for an argument, and you found one. I've seen both the Mars Volta and the Peppers many times, regardless of performance sometimes Mars Volta has really bad sound and it's very muddy. Quit being an asshole, my advice is to just shut up and go away.

[fireadept007]

Well I was gonna argue back but then I clicked your profile. No wonder your stupid ass fuck, you fucking Canadian douche bag. protip: this is my last comment to you. good day.

[mrabatich2]

oh I see, your nationality is superior to mine and therefore I am stupid. You know, sometimes the stupidity of people astound me. You started out with an unprovoked insult and resorted to insulting my nationality. Honestly, when you do that it's not insulting, you just reveal that you are mentally incapable of comprehending a situation and resort to name calling. Your an idiot, how did you even get on a computer? Oh I forgot you ran away, so you won't answer that.

[fireadept007]

Fuck it, I'm back. You think I can't comprehend the situation? The situation is you worded your original comment badly, and made me think you thought that John F. was playing bad. I said it was the camera's fault, and then you think that I'm the worst person alive and that I should die. That's a little fucked up if you asked me. But seriously dude you are 23 years old, why in God's name are you arguing with a sixteen year old kid? Grow up.

[mrabatich2]

nonono, you insult someone for no reason you shouldn't be surprised to get instuled back. I don't give a shit how old you are, the world doesn't work that way. It was hyperbole, obviously I didn't intend that you die, but watch what you say.

[fireadept007]

We have freedom of speech here, so I really don't have to watch what I say.

[MikeyRGuitar]

And I have the freedom to call out someone on their bullshit no matter how much they cry about it when I do.

[fireadept007]

There wasn't bullshit, you said something stupid, I called you out on it, and you got more defensive than a fat ass trying to get back his stolen donuts.

[MikeyRGuitar]

A: you picked a fight by starting off with the first insult, no matter what you say, you can't argue with that.

B: you obviously can't read

C: you are retarded, fuck you.

[fireadept007]

Yeah it's so obvious..how cool are you man?

[vanduiam88]

Frusciante's such a beast!

[RaiderX]

fucking sick

[ProgDeather]

what´s the intro song called?

[skyseye]

it sounds as if it was a cover for pink floyd's interstellar overdrive from the piper at the gates of dawn...
