[guitarboy12]

Wait, Omar is singing at one point as well :D at the 30 second mark

[Savefrank56]

oh crap...sorry cedric

[sappy404]

Anyone know what the band was that Cedric mentioned during the set? He said they were from "around these parts" so I assume they were Irish... Can't think of the name and it's not in this video : (

[TophatsandUmbrellas]

he was talking bout the virgin prunes!

yup irish band.. they were from dublin, though the moment he said from "around these parts" i had a sinking feeling he was going to refer to a british band or something. but then i remembered that cedric really knows his stuff =]

[burntoutmatch]

ahjhhh great show! love these guys for like 7 years now... if ne one remembers the asshole that cursed them out after they said kings of leon were lame, the guy that put his middle finger up... that was my pathetic boyfriends who i forced to come with me hahahah... sorry bout that

[skalagon]

They were good too bad the audio set up at the O2 Stage was abyssmal for all of Saturday. It wasnt nearly loud enough, but the red raincoat guy mad it better.

[Littleprimal]

Cheers :D

[Littleprimal]

Wow... thanks people. I was just rockin out to one of my favourite bands; didn't expect this. I'm glad you all had a good time and enjoyed it! Everyone was really nice, even the camera man came down to say hello!

Yeah the timing of the flip was a bit of luck to be honest but its all good!

Oh aye! :D Can u link the photo 'badboy..'? Yeah my name is Ian.

Cheers again, gimmie a shout if any footage shows up, i wasn't even aware I wsa on screen THAT much?! Ha, mad isn't it?!

[Imalittlebitonfire]

I loved the clock stunt.

Mad little fuckers.

[mybakingtray]

Ah not to worry, sorry if that came across bitchy. Seriously though, someone upload that shit.

[mybakingtray]

If anyone happened to get some footage of the guy in the RED raincoat and his unbelievable dancing throughout, particularly at the end, please upload it!

Amazing set.

[badboyrhythmdub]

Sorry i thought it was blue, i was rightly on tho.

[Littleprimal]

Cheers mybakingtray and FlexFlexFlex, the red raincoat guy was me :) Totally surreal to have al those people running over to me with cameras etc at the end. Thanks to that guy who gave me some beer too: was def needed! Mars Volta were (and are) amazing! Great weekend!

[mybakingtray]

You sir, are a hero. Seriously, that was so impressive. Nice one.

[MisfitMum]

I've been looking of footage of you everywhere !

The flip at the end was my Oxegen Highlight !!

One of my mates was looking at the stage and he missed it, the fool!!

I bow to you, you were amazing !!

[badboyrhythmdub]

Ian isnt it? Me and my friend were talking to you after gig and got our picture took with you. I was the one with the pork pie hat.

[padgebo]

[Littleprimal]

Excellent!

[Littleprimal]

Howerya?! :) Any luck on that video in the end..? curious, cheers!

[leggie123]

[leggie123]

[shrugs13]

cedric is on crazy mofo

loved the way me kept kicking the mic and catching it again

and he flipped the stand 360 :o

crazy fucker lolz

[mickyv33]

Caught his guitar pick!!!!

[faiep1982]

Amazin performance. Only reason i went down on the saturday one of the best gigs ive ever been to

[badboyrhythmdub]

One of festival highlights for me. Weather was terrible but it was worth it. Anyone see the guy in the crowd dancing with the blue raincoat? I swear he nearly upstaged the band with his moves.

[basslistic]

Ha yea, thats the guy who flipped in perfect timing right at the end of the very last song,right? Excellent..

[FlexFlexFlex]

That guy was amazing when he did that flip. It was sooo goood!

[Rosevault101]

Mars Volta is the fucking shit..was standing at the front and rocking my brains out!!!! The only true band at Oxegen!

[Thedosilemasses]

Unreal thanks for this post, favorite band was right at the front air drumming! Also i like when he ate the clock..

[sassarinapoli]

the best show yesterday vut where were u people???and i missed the francis the mute songs..anyway great...queens ol leon very very boring...

[yeahfontaine]

Cedric was also expressing his distaste for the KINGS of Leon by calling them the Queens of Leon, which I found hilarious. And he obviously does know that a mention or inclusion on Eastenders does anything BUT show that you've "made it" at least in the high quality music arena, so...really a big dig all around.

[doozsh]

Setlist:

Goliath

Cotopaxi

Roulette Dares

Viscera Eyes

Halo of Nembutals

Drunkship of Lanterns

Wax Simulacra

Blew my mind.

[barraonuallain]

Surprised he's heard of eastenders. Its a shambolic british TV soap opera which has had the same reoccuring theme for last 25 years with the same fucking people. If your song is played in the "Caf"(coffee shop) or the "Queen Vic"(the pub) your music has immediately lost all credibility. So if they actually mentioned the Queens of leon by name in the show, well, thats the end really.

Did he really say that? i missed the first 10 minutes of the show, damn.....

[giovannipicci]

yes he really said that and it was fun!

Also I'd like to say that the audio set up was crap on stage 2 and that really pissed me off . They spent all the money for the set up of the main stage for the quens of leon i guess

[giovannipicci]

Cedric: "We appreciate hardcore fans coming out to see us in the rain over Queens of Leon.. You know you've passed it when you're mentioned on Eastenders!"

anybody can explain me what that means? thank you
