ATDI is incredible. everytime i listen to them I hate Mars Volta more and more. I dig sparta... but nothing compares to this band. Absolutley brilliant.
The point is not eveyone goes to a show to get their ass kicked. I go to shows and I'm not a violent person and I hate when I get hit by someone moshing or trying to mosh with me, it just ruins the show for people that are there for the music.Im not into that shit, and people that go to shows to "mawsh" just to hurt people to feel like a tough guy are fucking pathetic. I don't bust my ass at work to get a ticket to go see a band I like then have the show ruined for me by getting injured.
@ebelein No, he is criticizing people as "sheep" for failing to appreciate music in the way that HE thinks they should appreciate it. That's extremely ironic (not that he understands irony), but it's also obnoxious.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
can't Jim shut the fuck up! I pay to listen to Cedric, not stupid ass Jim! he is so akward when he was with atdi.. like he was trying very hard to fit I wt the cool kids!
@chino909310 you dont pay anything, its youtube. and everyone had equal importance in this band, theyre all amazing. so why dont you shut the fuck up.
look, jim ward added the post hardcore type sound (clever guitar riffs,good patterns,catchy choruses) and cedric and omar added the experimentation and deeper sound (lyrics,improvisation,effects,dark sinister riffs ect.) but in the end the reason ATDI worked was becuase all those sounds came together really well, the mars volta are better than sparta in my opinion but neither will be as good as ATDI were
@joshingledew its not really even that simple. the post-hardcore sound didn't come from anyone, it was the combination of all the members, none of which enjoyed hardcore music, which created the sound. jim ward was the accessible pop-ish one, omar added some salsa-influences (if you pay close attention) and also some more experimentation and improvisation, tony kinda had a simpler rock n' roll groove but did it extremely well, cedric added progressive influence, and paul did a bit of glam-metal.
I must have watched a hundred ATDI vids, and that's the first time I've seen Jim have a little dance off with Cedric. Also a bit of backing track going on here, and ATDI first for me as well!
and im pissed, i play drums and nobody plays guitar like them, i have some friends that like atdi but we never play together cuz im on fucking work or school
my band are well similar to them, yet both the guitarists ddon't base any of their playing on them, it's just fortunate coincidence, not looking foward to going out to work, s'why being at schools pretty good atm
lol so many ppl hating on jim ward,im not a big fan of sparta either but also remember, u dumb idiots!!, without jim ward there wouldnt have been an "at the drive-in"
hello, mother leopard. i have your cub. you must protect her. but that will be expensive. ten thousand cola nuts. midnight, behind the box. i'll be the hyena, you'll see.
it could quite easily be colonauts, i just typed it from memory. i also missed out "wrapped in brown paper". i posted it in a myspace bullitin once, i got some well wierd replies haha.
Hello mother leopard, I have your cub...You must protect her, but that will be expensive ... ten thousand cola nuts, wraped in brown paper. Midnight, behind the box, ill be the hyena, you'll see.
i use the word faggot because it's funny. just because cedric doesn't like the word doesn't mean i'm going to stop thinking it's funny. do you watch south park? fuck yourself
well its like when stupid people think that killing jews is better than not killing jews. One is an idiot the other is not an idiot. Smart people don't compare two bands that sound completely different just because they all played together once, dumb people do. It can't be any more simple.
well its like when stupid people think that killing jews is better than not killing jews. One is an idiot the other is not an idiot. Smart people like The Mars Volta, dumb people like Sparta. It can't be any more simple.
While Jim isn't a big part of the stage presence or music, back-up parts are just as crucial. Also I believe he had a large influence on the writing process of the songs and lyrics. Don't get me wrong though, I'm a TMV fan through and through.
That makes no sense you stupid prat and Jim Ward doesn't exactly have the strongest voice in this performance but I don't suppose you've tried singing his parts 259 days a year, everyone's voice can burn out. Except Cedric's.. he's supernatural..
srs, jim is one of the two founders of the band. Omar didn't join until 3 years after the band was formed and he played bass Acrobatic Tenement. Everyone in the band has a part in the music they play. don't be dumb. "I'm not the only guy in the band; you don't have to take pictures of me all the time. There's Jim, there's Paul, there's Tony. Just 'cause they don't have curly hair doesn't mean they're not important." amirite. also I dislike mars volta and sparta.
There's no need for fanboy attacks, Cedric has made himself look a prick numerous times, hell the whole band looked retarded at times, it doesn't detract from the fact that they were fucking awesome and they did it together.
