The Mars Volta - Broken English jam 10/9/2010

[wherethetreeslive]

You forgot to mention Omar's crappy hat.

[fintonomalley]

dave ellitch is an amazing drummer - i was there the night of his first gig with TMV, it was one of the greatest shows ive ever seen

[TylerHNothing]

Elitch is gone? WHUTTTT, I was really hoping for him to play on their new CD

[ZuriHalo]

I miss Thomas Pridgen, the one and only... No offense Dave! I just like Thomas's playing more, the epicness of it... o_O

[Yeahyeahyeah1964]

HURR DURR CRAPPY PREFORMANCE DURR HURR

[vee125]

duuuude. they shoulda kept elitch. dude's got a groove like theodore and fills like pridgen. and a fuckin sweet fro to boot. i cant talk shit on deantoni though, haven't heard much from him.

[seanturpin01]

@vee125 Yeah but listen to him try and play goliath.... he makes it seem like its some hardcore pop song, in my opinion though..

[MrOhjames]

He sounds fantastic! Specially sense who ever did the sounds had His mic CRANKED. This is how People actually sound without autotune.

[deadeye42]

@MrOhjames thats completely wrong. even cedric has said that this was his worst show with the mars volta ever.

[MrOhjames]

@deadeye42 I said He sounds great how am I completely wrong for saying that. Maybe He thought He sounded bad. I don't. :)

[deadeye42]

@MrOhjames because when you compare it to every other show he's ever sang with the mars volta it sounds like shit.

[MrOhjames]

@deadeye42 Okay! But I still think He sounds great! :)

[dlee1994]

cedric is gaining some weight.

[THX10538]

@dlee1994 I was just gonna say he was looking kinda chubby. I guess its not a big deal though, he used to weigh like, 80 pounds. Crack's a hell of a drug

[pandamanana]

i dont even know what to make of this. Im a giant mars volta fan. and these guys are just crazy bastards. i dont know what they're up to?!?!? what are they building??

[SuddenlyPASTA]

While this is a sweet jam, in which I am remotely happy with Elitch's playing, this is NOT what I listen to the volta for.

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

It wasn't their best, given, but it was far from crappy.

[jesssta07]

this isnt crappy. this is mindblowing!!!

[chevpowr]

cedric sounds so much different in this song. The last time i heard him sing like this was in ATDI. the band sounds good as usual.

[drex48239]

good performance

[lespaulgtars]

Who's that drummer?

[JefeElMilagro]

@lespaulgtars Dave Elitch, who's their tour drummer. Nothing's been press-release set in stone but he is almost certainly not their future drummer, but has been for all of 2010 if you missed the end of last year's Australia tour, after Thomas left in October. Look for Deantoni Parks, Omar's latest live drummer, to be the future studio and tour drummer when the LP6 tour starts.

[lespaulgtars]

@JefeElMilagro Thomas left!!!!???

[JefeElMilagro]

@lespaulgtars Over a year ago.

[dlee1994]

@JefeElMilagro he got hired for his hair. lol jk

[mbpofficial]

The lyrics are too literal for me, I could get use too it though :)

[DeLoused777]

@mbpofficial It's a mMarrianne Faithfull cover; Lyric wise.

[FuckedInKansas]

awesome performance

[marsvolta1386]

Crappy performance?  far from that my good man.

[JefeElMilagro]

@marsvolta1386 Nah.

[marsvolta1386]

@JefeElMilagro i have to clean my ears i guess lol.

[SkunkForce9]

@JefeElMilagro

Whats so wrong with it?

It's a new sound from the Volta.

Cedric's voice is changing, and he sounds better singing like this than say Goliath or Cotopaxi.

[dudewiththedildoe]

@JefeElMilagro i agree. tiz a crappy performance indeed. still good though.

[jmmatos23]

@marsvolta1386 it is indeed crappy, I have to admit.

[Feelthisfunk]

To me, the combination of Omar and Cedric making music is always good.

[lespaulgtars]

@Feelthisfunk listen to el grupo nuevo de Omar Rodrigues lopez

[Feelthisfunk]

@lespaulgtars

Well, thats why i said ´it´s always good´.

I have played that album Cryptomnesia for months since the day it was released... i even think it is his best soloproject ever!

[Aberinkulas]

Quite stripped down, me loving it.

[DandelionVolta]

Thanks for recording this, I've got some video too, I'll upload it later

[QueLub]

Definitely borrowed lyrics... I'm not sure from what though.

[skarioghi]

@QueLub it's an ANTI-WAR song...."Broken English" Marianne Faithfull

[TMVowns]

what a simple mars volta.

[TMVowns]

holy fucking shit.
