The Mars Volta @ SWU Festival 2010 - 3/6 - Goliath

[FZmustacheFZ]

Yeah, it was definitely Cedric who fucked up. If you watch Omar's right hand and Juan's left hand, you can see that they're going into something else.

[Euphilippos]

3:20 ..LOL

[jessy8281]

como me gusta este tema!!!!!!!!!!!!

[canthinkverywell]

here's their best advantage with elitch: another member with wacky hair. and yeah, he's a great drummer, but he doesn't offer anything new, that's why he's only temporary, they've recorded their next album with deantoni parks. elitch doesn't give anything a softer feel, and he doesn't give anything a crazier feel, he just plays the songs, and i have to complain abt his use of what i call "really damn heavy metal" technique which basically means huge sloppy accents every measure.

[DandelionVolta]

@canthinkverywell I'm not sure it was his call to play like that, if you look as his youtube videos he goes crazy all the time and he plays gospel mostly. Btw Cedric said he's the drummer that came closer to Jon's parts live.

[canthinkverywell]

@DandelionVolta he moves his entire arm high into the air to hit the snare drum, completely improper technique and all its good for is getting a crowd to say "ooh look at that guy with the crazy hair and the high accents," its definitely his call to play like that, omar controls almost everything that happens but i doubt he told elitch "we wanna look like douchbags today. oh and no improv."

[FZmustacheFZ]

@canthinkverywell Oh my god, if you honestly are taking time to criticize what he looks like, you should just give up on listening to music now, since you've taken a pretty big step towards it already. If that's what he likes to do, fine, let him do it. Just shut up, let the guy do his thing, and listen to the music.

CEDRIC HUMILHOU

[BortexBass]

no la neta ese batako no me late donde kedo tomas?

[funkaluca]

who is that playing drums?

[DandelionVolta]

@funkaluca Dave Elitch, he has been playing with them since Thomas was fired

[pandamanana]

1:06; singer shouts ancient mesoamerican incantation carrying audience back in time six seconds by reincarnating a hibernating transdimensional tesseract.

[guitarboy12]

Fuck, wish i had Cedric's moves!

[shitfeast]

I gotta admit though, Dave is a wicked drummer, and as much of a beast Pridgen was, I think Dave serves a better purpose, the songs take a much different light when given a tighter structure, and to awesome results. you can also hear Omar's maturity as a musician, even in his solo work, which used to be very sporadic, but with the help of his girlfriend ans his new outlook on song writing, he's totally gone into a new realm. and I'll be following him to whichever realm that is. long live tmv

[shitfeast]

the way I see it, Dave puts a good spin on John's music, and is able to pull it off pretty well, but when it comes to Pridgen songs, they were just so complex that Dave's style doesn't suit it well. the guitar parts were played to those crazy time signatures that they don't transfer well to a more traditional drum beat.

[CerpinTaxt1983]

its funny that everyone points out the one mistake that he madeand says he sucks and this and that he played great the rest of the gig. I would like to see some or most people in the world try to learn a volta song on drums cause bet it will be alot worse then Dave's here.

[thedanieltmv]

i don't like dave on the lineup..it sounds different...still awesome, but...old

[CerpinTaxt1983]

@thedanieltmv How can you not like Dave did you watch this full concert? He is great just like every drummer they get, I trust them in getting him.

[mbpofficial]

Who is this cover band lol

/watch?v=aPvCz2xuVJo

[sebaba001]

alot of weird things... first, where is ikey?!?!? did he left the band!?!

second, who is that guy at 1:43 and what is he doing?

and third, first time i see a scared face on omar xD.. just look at him when drummer messes up.. and so many people in the crowd.. you can see his humanity

[brownyuio]

@sebaba001 Ikey was out with his other band Free Moral Agents promoting their new album. He's still in TMV though.

That's PROBABLY some side-line guy making sure Dave's drums are stable.

And like these other guys below me said, Dave was maybe improvising without Cedric knowing, haha. They do experiment with different techniques on stage after all [x

[510wtf]

@brownyuio I think it might be marcel omar's little brother, he usually plays percussion in the band but he also plays keys for their other brothers band zech marquise

[brownyuio]

@510wtf Oops, sorry. I thought I he meant the guy who just ran into the stage to adjust Dave's drums haha. I know who Marcel is. He plays drums/percussion and keys for some of Omar's side projects as well.

[510wtf]

@brownyuio indeed a very talented family, I heard they all learn from their father who was guitarist and salsa musician

[brownyuio]

@510wtf Have you listened to Omar's Deux Ex Machina? From what I read, that's his dad singing on that track! :D

[510wtf]

@brownyuio yes i have and I did not know that thats pretty cool

[sh4din]

I guess the Dave thing was suposed to be something like this:

/watch?v=JM9Zgp1W0XE

[mdab0123]

Dave didn't mess up. If you look closely, Omar gives him the sign to improvise, or do something... noodle anyway. They probably talked it over before hand and Cedric just forgot. It's all good.

[froggo787]

@mdab0123 this comment needs to be seen, thumb it up.

[swansong200]

somehwere thomas pridgen is laughing

[IMAROBOT888]

the best dancer ever

[jerodoudou]

il est passé ou leur pianiste de toujours

[hom3r0824]

Dave didnt mess up.

You see Omar giving him the sign to keep going and Cedric doesnt see it.

Omar gave the sign way to late.

[weix86]

dave shit the bed

[voltfacecons]

cedric has had too long away from singing, that beast behind the drums is terrible. what happened to deatoni?

[ninja1dalbem]

i think that drummer had some extra energy to spend on this music! :D

[macwild1234]

lol dave messed it up

[DandelionVolta]

@macwild1234 I'm still trying to figure out what he tried to do haha

[macwild1234]

@DandelionVolta

I think he played 1:55 WAY too early lol

[fiestapais]

@DandelionVolta It's like he was trying to go into some kind of drum roll or something for some reason. Oh well, I like how Cedric covered it up. haha
