The Mars Volta - Tourniquet Man

[iamsicsic6]

[methylgofuckyourself]

The Mars Volta. WHERE ARE YOU?!

[shawnu2bacc]

Heroin had a lot to do with this song.

[crayZtaco7]

@shawnu2bacc

actually no, after their sound guy died from heroin overdose in the early years of the volta. they promised to not use opiates ever again.

and alot of this albums ideas were actually given to them by a very unique ouija board that was given to cedric as a gift from omar. it was an original ouija board from Jerusalem.

and the demon that would speak to them was told to actaully be three different ones speaking together but went by the name of Goliath. hence the album name.

[Odieandgarfield]

I don't get all the hate for this song. It has a great atmosphere, and the vocal effects at "Let me be your Tourniquet MANNNNN" is really haunting. I've always viewed Wax Simulacra, Goliath and Tourniquet Man as a single piece split into three songs, listen to them all in a row and you'll see that Tourniquet Man deserves it's spot on the album.

[TheGreenPlague]

@biosrios those guys are too cool for that noise. they've been to other dimensions. money isn't something they're concerend with.

[GameKing777777]

Our next album will be online next year. Before or after summer.

[rufdogshavebumps]

hm.. i personally love the end. it makes you feel like ur going insane.

[ToNy547100]

i don't like mars volta

[beefcake8888]

@ToNy547100

I don't like you.

[kaitywhite]

the first half is fucking genius. idk about the voice effects at the endish though.

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

nice vocals

[immugio]

every song by atdi is better than any song by mars volta. true story. atdi is my favorite and im still trying to find a tmv song i like =[

[Thominiho10]

@immugio they are both different, if you like ADTI MORE THAN TMV you should listen to Sparta. For me, Adti was awesome because Cedric and Omar create the idea of the band. it's the same thing with TMV.

A EPIC BAND!

[OllieandGingeStudios]

@Thominiho10 ADTI = At Drive The In. This is incorrect.

[Thominiho10]

@OllieandGingeStudios My wrong xD. I know to prononce it, but i was propably tired this day.

[BetterTasteThanU]

this is music by SCUM for SCUM

hey mars volta, blow me

[stratocastermaster2]

i dont think this song is bad, until the whole voice effect thing around the end. if it didnt have that, it would be awesome

[noliesundead]

not as bad as the last song on ampatechture

[janaynicolej89]

Let me keep you as a favor

[asscockballtits92]

dude the lyrics are fucking creepy

and the music fits it

its just a shorter song

stop hating!!!

[ohwello]

in my opinion, as a long time volta fan, i think this is the worst song they've ever made.

[asscockballtits92]

D: whaaaatt?

dude ur gay!

[ohwello]

lol, sorry to offend you asscockballtits92.

[david5guitar]

great song!! and the lyrcs resemble the best of the goliath experience... the tourniquet man

[XunleashthewolvesX]

Bedlam, being at volume 10 (or 11) needs tracks like this for contrast, and the melody is haunting and beautiful.

[introvertical71]

Weird... Psychotic ... love it.

[ManuscriptRe]

This is one of the better songs on goliath. This album really let me down though. Goliath to me was the album that would define the mars volta. Would they ascend above their own sound and make a truly epic rock album that will change the genre (the way in casino out did)? Or would they just keep on making what they do best? They defintley did the latter with this album and IMO, they have passed the point of no return, all their albums from here on out will sound like frances the mute.

[89013344]

i actually dont think this album sounds like frances the mute at all - different structure, different theme, different emotion. every mars volta album has been a peak for me so far.

[xInDiieKiiDx]

@ManuscriptRe and then Octehedron came out :p

[kneblpatrick]

i personally think that is the best song on the whole album!!!

[Krixooks]

this is the worst song on the album i was really disappointed.

some of the other tracks like metatron, goliath, and agadez are amazing but this really lowers the bar.

[DexJux]

you know what makes bedlam a lot better? take this song completely out and replace it with the track calibration. this track is like a steve perry b side

[aer0dynamic]

I use to hate this song but it grew on me, just like many of the songs on The Bedlam in Goliath.

[SLAhimself]

This song is sick.

Like some people said they hate it, im sure it will grow on them.

That was how lots of songs were then I just got a craving to listen to them.

[areyouwatchingluke]

I don't know if it still stands but I read an interview with Omar where he stated that he is all for downloaded music. In his words 'free music is music in it's purest form'.

[rhcp211]

He also said "buy it, steal it, do what you gotta do" (referring to the new album) when he was on a show recently.

[sergiozc]

thats a real musician there

[MrJon08]

lol!! did u upload the whole album!!

go you...thats how u get on the shit list indeed!!

[oblique65]

i dig the song... it reminds me of the 80's or something for somereason.. like the scorpions.. anyways i like this song the whoel cd is bitchin...

[jmka4l]

hate this song! only bad song on a really great cd

[AlexWangombe]

i completely agree, i just deleted it off my computer when i ripped the cd (sorry i didn't buy it i don't have a job)

[youngceb]

esto es lo unico que vale la pena del nuevo disco jaja no se crean

[redkiwi2002]

Pfffffffff que dices tio! el disco esta integro subido al youtube y es muy muy intereasnte... cuestion de gustos supongo...

[keect]

[cchdddy]

[CoCaIvan]

don't be a poopface.

[DanteNeedsThis]
