If you don't care about me and my opinion, nor anyone else's opinion, why did you come here to bash everyone for sharing their opinion? I didn't "piggy back" on someone's opinion, I simply agreed with it, because I have the same opinion, as do 90% of the people who commented here. Why did /you/ "go out of your way" to come here and start explaining how stupid everyone is for their /opinions/? I'm not "grasping at straws". Unless of course you're a straw. You're insecurity itself.
"omg so scary whaddufuck." lol you guys are retards, do you really get scared? who the fuck gets scared from a song? this is a pretty sick version. fuck your shit
@MachineOperatedBot how is my comment based on insecurity, your the one who has bagged out the way these guys want to play their own music.... you know the biggest reason for bullies putting down other peoples works is their own insecurity... and that is why you suck... banging your mum has gotten to your head
You just come here to yell at people for saying their opinion on a song. I never said anything against 'these guys'. They're the one playing, so they should decide how to play it, and I respect them for that. But, the effect used in the chorus is plain ugly and as previously stated - it sounds like shit. If you disagree with me - fine. But don't go raging on me for commenting on something I don't like.
@MachineOperatedBot If you dont like it dont comment it and I wouldnt have noticed how ignorant you are... you have a right to your opinion but what kind of opinion is "it sounds like shit"... you cant even elaborate on that? and how am i bullying you if your not acting like a bully by posting your original comment, either we both are or none of us are by your logic. Also your putting them down as a live act and by association as a band.
Sigh. I like the song. I like the band. The effect makes me like them less. You're just acting like some sort of pseudo-musician who apparently knows so much about music, that he would rather praise something he doesn't really like for the sake of his own image. When I said 'it sounds like shit', I was agreeing to another person who disliked the effect in the chorus. If you read the rest of the comments, it's full of these people. Oh wait, you came insulted most of them, more or less.
your the only one I "insulted" and if you cant handle a comment like "you also suck" then dont comment on this page with "it sounds like shit", also its added insult to think that you saw someones comment and had to go out of your way to piggy back on their opinion. and how does one effect in one song make you like a band less. and your grasping at straws with all your insecurity calls,dont know you or anyone here why should i care what you think about me
You're looking down on people in an effort to boost your ego as a musician, or whatever you think of yourself as. Your only argument against me is 'you suck' which, in essence, is nothing but a baseless insult. Who are you? There's quite a lot of people who agree upon the same thing - the effect makes the song less likable. And you're telling everyone how they should feel about the band. Stop doing that, let people share their OPINIONS, that's what comments are for.
take note of all the valid points that you have convenienlty skipped over, here are a few if you care to finally answer some questions instead of beating around the bush:
1. the only person i have insulted is you
2. how does 1 effect make you like a band less
3. what kind of an opinion is "it sounds like shit" whynot "i dont like the effect in the chorus but its still a kick ass song
4. if you cant take me saying "you also suck" then why say what you said
1. I know? You're looking down on people and their opinions, however. That's what I said.
2. Less than I would like it if there was no effect.
3. It's an opinion on the effect, not the song. I thought it was pretty obvious as I replied to a person commenting on the effect, not the song as a whole.
4. I can take it. I simply stated that it's not an argument.
@elbowonfire its a live version isn't it? You can hear the audience clapping and cheering and he changes the words sometimes. So i guess they would play it slightly faster.
no mamar este we canta bien perro :) esta rola es como del 2005 , una vez fui a la buena vuista a visitar a mi compa el fito y me dice wacha escucha esto ! y pense que era mujer el que cantaba :S
@Frances3654 Do you know the model of Moog he's using? And just a shot in the dark... Do you know what effect is in the album version of Asilos Magdelina?
@mrgreen05 google for "the mars volta b-side" and click the second link "b-sides "R" us". you can find the track under miscellaneous. pass = bsidesrus
if all of the right tracks had been lifted, it wouldnt sound so haunting because the vocals would come together and sound closer to the record. this also explains why no bass and drums. and a very under-produced acoustic guitar.
@zeppelinfanatic10 this is from a live 2004 recording, when they promoted widow in this Pre-Frances version. I had the bootleg from the actual show of this very recording... check out the 2004 widow boots... =)
The horrifyingly loud phaser/harmonizer effect scared the shit out of me the first time though. I don't really see what some of you guys are bitching about though. It sounds alright. A little out of context, but it's the Mars Volta for christ's sake.
That was added after the performance. A boot of the original -- media.thecomatorium [dot] com [slash] audio [slash] tmv2004-05-13.mp3/07%20new%20song.zip
@andresblazeit420 well you know how omar is trying to be different all the time and i mean don't get me wrong it's what makes the mars volta so unique but in certain parts like i metioned ealier where specifically, it just seems like he went over board with the vocal effect it sounds horrible imho don't you think so bro?
I'll agree, but do it in your OWN residence with no prior commitments made. Don't wanna find yourself too out of it in somewhere you're not entirely comfortable.
Storm Thorgerson, he is awesome i have his book. He did TMV up to Amputechture. He also did most of Pink Floyds albums. This picture was about an idea he came up with in a dream about an indian ritual too find your ancestral roots. So he had the idea of crawling down the tree like this. Found the tree, somehow got someone to stick there. Took a photo. Practically all his designs are composed photographs, check him out.
