  • Love how this vid captures the dance moves. Thanks for posting this show.

  • I hate when people just blindly say "They never should have kicked Jon Theodore out of the band!" He wasn't interested in the band, didn't feel like contributing to the creative process, and was unhappy the vast majority of the time. Do your fucking research.

  • pocaaa madreee!!!! :) chingonsisimos!!!!!!!

  • r i p to the best drummer EVER!!!!

  • @setewone rip?

  • Great band really liking their style. And for the obama comment its true it has become a fad to hate him. Remember the guy who single handedly fucked the economy? still sick band very.progressive.

  • If this band were a little more facetious, they'd be funny. In their current state, they're just shitty.

  • I HATE THE SCHOOL!

  • jaja ai un pedaso de esta cancion que sali en un corte comercial de telehit jajaj yeahh

  • Thomas Pridgen was amazing also, no point in denying it.

  • The Mars Volta made me realise you don't have to be heavy to be an incredible band. I was really into metal, and don't get me wrong, i still like it but TMV make a lot of it sound so boring now.

  • Wait, Drunkship of...Cygnus? Thank god I had my extra pants with me.

  • This comment board is filled with pretentious high school guitar players that think they're technical musicians just because they listen to technical musicians.

  • Jon Theodore + Zach de la Rocha = all we need know. Look it up, do yourself that favor folks.

  • Jon is great but Deantoni Parks is a god man...he will tear up the new stuff, just wait and see.

  • I miss Jon as well... he is great

  • How is it Cedric is considered to be such an awesome dancer, but whenever I try to dance like that I get arrested?

  • Pretty amazing song, but, technically, it doesn't really stand up to many Metal acts.

  • @wereguy2 Why are you comparing this to Metal? Shut the fuck up faggot, your gay ass metal has nothing to do with this.

  • @HookedOnMneumonics I am not comparing musical structure, but skill on the part of the musicians. Genre has nothing to do with this.

  • @wereguy2 Obviously it does since you're the one who brought up metal in the first place dumbass. Metal is not difficult to play at all.

  • @HookedOnMneumonics well on behalf of post metal, say russian circles that´s not interely true :D

  • @wereguy2 speed and technicality doesn't mean shit when the song sucks and gives you the same feeling as all the other metal songs.

  • what the fuck, who would even think to play something like this

  • Two mistakes in American history. We elected George bush and the mars volta kicked jon Theodore out of the band

  • @MirroredxGh0st Agreed!

  • @MirroredxGh0st Seriously. Jon Theodore MADE this band.

  • @Bulldog22031 Jon is a fucking boss but don't tell me that you have ignored everything that the Volta has put out after him. What about Omar? Juan? Ikey? Cedric?

  • @agadez13 I enjoyed a lot of what was put out after Theodore, but nothing compares to Frances and De-Loused.

  • @MirroredxGh0st

    I agree. That was their best sound to date.

  • @MirroredxGh0st Oh yeah I forgot how good Obama's approval ratings are. Oh wait, they're not good, they're terrible. Fuck Obama.

  • @hat6036 I honestly don't know how anyone can hate Obama after Bush.

    It's just "cool" to hate on Obama now, that's it.

  • @hat6036 I rarely find it in good taste to bicker on Youtube videos, this case is no different, but since someone has already brought the issue up I feel more comfortable presenting my (humble) opinion. President Barack Obama is not dissimilar from any President since/during former President Clinton's reign in regard to approval ratings, but he is disparate with the last administration in terms of "progressive movement" (in the most literal sense of the term).

  • Comment removed

  • @hat6036 Concerning approval ratings, they're bullshit. Don't fool yourself, this country is not run by the President but instead by lobbyist. President Obama is an idealist living in a realists' world. Don't disregard this post but, also, do not let my post distract you from The Mars Volta's great music. Sorry for the inconvenience of sight. The Mars Volta, and their member's side projects, are all instrumentally and totally amazing. Music is amazing.

  • the only band I think that could cover a led zeppelin song right.

  • I like how they improvise - and come up with the middle section of Cygnus, Vismund Cygnus live on stage!

  • @magpieram they really improvised that?

  • reminds me of Song Remains the Same

  • who needs LSD when you have Mars Volta... both at the same time is jizzzing in your pants :DDD <3

  • ATDI!!!!

  • LOS MARS VOLTA SON LA MERA VERGA Y K CHINGE A SU MADRE EL KE DIGA QUE NO JAJAAAJ pinche rock progresivo en nuestra generacion, es otro pedo toda la influencia de 2066 & then, yes, crimson, chingo d bandas legendarias, lml

  • 4:23 jon's drumming is incredible!!

  • @ZIDBULA that's a different lineup

  • whoever disliked this obviously is a fucking creep, the mars volta is like god!!!

  • Not saying that this is better or anything, but i'm glad people like this make music...it's just as creative (although very different) as Jethro Tull, Genesis, Rush, Anglagard, and King Crimson...glad we ha Tool, PT, and TMV as well as others striving to make music with originality. Not being a snob or saying these guys are better, I'm just glad they're exhibiting such originality :)

  • Cedrics Mad Moves Take My Breath Away, How Can Someone Be So Godlike. . . .!!!!!

  • i thought the drummer was black w/ dreads...

  • i like A.t.d.i. better. :) good shit

  • 8:43

    Aw yeah.

  • Not from Cassandra Gemini, is from Cygnus

  • 22 people don't have ears

  • hey! the middle part is from Cassandra Gemini

  • they are all more than wonderful, his voice..<3 good gravy man.. I fell in Love the moment- i heard them.

  • I've seen them perform this live about 6 or 7 years ago along with System of a Down in Chicago... still one of the greatest shows i'll ever get to see my whole life. Not many people gave them a Chance back then... and even less now with all the desensualized music out there.

  • @MrHaHA same here... got to see them wtih A Perfect Circle when they toured for this album.

  • im gunna see these guys live with soundgarden..omfg..im so excited..i get to see to of my creative inspirations..Omar and Kim Thayil..aww just let the creative juices flow

  • @tanvo93 Where are they performing? I want to go see them live if they perform in Chicago or Dallas...a buddy of mine lives in Dallas and he is also a big TMV fan.

  • @dave11686 in inglewood california..its not too big..i mean ive been to pretty big..but its not small either..road trips should be fun to see a band..but ive never done one..maybe soon after im 18 and there is a band playing hopefully (at the drive-in) one could only wish haha..but the mars volta is great too and just make me wanna dance n groove

  • que tema!!!!!!!!! con este tema que tocaron en mtv yo los conoci

  • they're just too good for real life

  • When do they go back to this! Dont get me wrong. Newer concerts and recordings are awesome. But the older Work and Gigs are Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay Better

  • texturally rich

  • I FUCKING HATE MY JOB!

  • Problable 400.000 views are mine

  • 01:10

    Pure voice and power in harmony with the music. Perfection.

  • every time i watch this video, for the first minutes, i get a little nervous. like i'm about to go down the first drop of a huge fuckin rollercoaster thats about to blow my face off.

  • This album was a masterpiece , people say they fell off after this . I say how do you follow up to greatness without disappointing people.

  • 03:58, with that face, the only sentence you could possibly be saying is, "Lash of one thousand eyebrows clicking."

  • gumbo thats funny

  • Omg they are playing Cygnus Vismund Cygnus in the middle, fucking sweet!!!!!

  • "Drunksip of Laterns?" come on.. nerds. these guys couldn't groove in 2 bars straight if their lives depended in it.

  • @jgeorgel fag

  • Yeah, heard them live while amazingly high at Roskilde festival a couple of years back. Fucking awesome concert, that was

  • Am I really the only one who thinks that Cedric sings like shit live? I mean I fucking love his voice on the records but every live performance Ive watched of TMV, Cedric just seems inable to hit all those notes he supposedly hit in the studio. Just makes me sad to know that that epic upon epicness voice I hear through my speakers is amped to shit with effects.

  • @Thomsonthetube i think that the octahedron phase is kinda shitty, but since the bedlam era he's been pretty good again.

  • @Thomsonthetube He's not dancing and jumping around when he's recording in the studio. Maybe that's got something to do with it.

  • 5:24 - 7:00 is so chill. I really dig the drums.

  • Its right!!!!!!!!!!!, I love the way the beat changes towards the end after the break down.

    I could just imagine beening at the gig

  • TMV are like musically programed robots. The drummer arm's must be replaced after every show. The lead singer's voice box is made from carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide, and the lead guitarist's brain has been formatted with no Greco Roman logical foundation thus optimizing his ability to perceive reality in a paradoxical paradigm similar to the mathematical formula for calculating the method in which bees create their geometric honeycomb habitat.

  • @erocksk8er I love you...

  • @erocksk8er you are correct sir.

  • @erocksk8er Jesus Christ you deserve a Pulitzer for writing that shit! Cheers friend!

  • @erocksk8er that was an intelligent comment... people should follow your example and youtube would turn into an amazing place! :)

    compliments from Portugal

  • @erocksk8er uhh yeah, what you said!

  • @erocksk8er LOL, may i quote you on this??

  • @erocksk8er HAHA amen! well said sir.

  • @erocksk8er Thats an odd thing to say

  • @erocksk8er Wtf haz u said o.0?

  • @erocksk8er oh shut up you pretentious twit

  • @erocksk8er That's a TMV lyric right there.

  • @erocksk8er i was going to leave a comment saying how awesome the mars volta are but i couldn't beat what you said haha!

    Fuckin' love this band.

  • @erocksk8er Wow.

  • @erocksk8er I really don't know what you said, but...yes.

  • awesome!

  • This is just fucking awsome....

  • Shut the fuck up with your stupid 'X many people [insert lame joke here]'. People are allowed not to like it you arse

  • HOW DEAR YOU NOT EVEN COME CLOSE TO LOVING THIS?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! no but seriously... this is art with in art with in art with in art to the point that youre self conscious.

  • the liquid he is drinking is what i believe to be a concoction pf cannabis+alchohol, commonly refered to as "Bang" or "Green Dragon" in india where it originated, he probly spend alot of money on it actual here it would cost you like 400$ to get a mickey of that stuff, but it knocks you on your ass bad thats why he tripped so hard in roullette dares live video

  • @XxMaLcLmPwNsxX you can make a strong batch yourself at home for less than a 4th that price. 750 ml everclear $16 + 1/8th of good weed $60 = Green Dragon. lol

  • @blitzkrieg187 ik, thats exactly how i do it, but a celebrity like cedric probly wouldnt have time to make it and risk himself getting busted and since he has lots of money, im assuming he would just purchase it off someone, but ya its WAY EASIER to just get a high proof alcohol and mix it with "X" amount of weed lol :D

  • @XxMaLcLmPwNsxX

    except this is the song they played after "Roulette Dares" . . . .

  • you people must understand that 80 percent of this song on the studio version is harminized chords, it sounds way different becuase of that, and no he doesnt sound out of tune, he just doing the one harmony fellas :D

  • 8:57 <3 <3 <3

  • one of john theodores greatest drum performances yet

  • junto con tool la mejores mejores bandas de rock

  • listened to this album must be...100 times. shit is so goddamn dynamic. no doubt 18 year olds 20 years from now will be saying, "damn, you heard of that mars volta stuff?!?" like all those kids now talk about bob dylan and led zeppelin like they discovered it. lol

  • isnt the breakdown from another song?

  • @nubbinnoob wow did u really ask that?

  • @tanvo93

    yes, im only familiar with deloused and a few random tracks from their other albums. a quick scan of the comments and i was straightened out. thanks for helping.

  • @nubbinnoob o im sorry i thought u where talkin about something else..like a "hardcore" breakdown..thats why i responded like that..my bad man

  • @tanvo93 nah, i just call any songs where the music gets ridiculous breakdowns. like in the middle of Cicatriz ESP. bridges is probably more appropriate.

  • @tanvo93 nah, i just call any songs where the music gets ridiculous breakdowns. like in the middle of Cicatriz ESP. bridges is probably more appropriate.

  • @nubbinnoob yo yo thats cool man..and part is sick tho haha

  • @nubbinnoob Yeah, I call 'em bridges.

  • holly fucking shit 40 000

  • Is that Jon Theodore? My lord them limbs be banging hard.

  • Perhaps the best drummer I've ever witnessed. Sometimes speed really works.

  • @misermania Jon Theodore for President!

  • @misermania speed, groove, technique, overall badassness :p

  • @misermania Speed combined with techniquality and mastery of rudiments? Yes. *cough* Buddy Rich *cough*

  • 5:24...

    Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus...

    Awesome. 

  • @misermania Check out Deantoni.

  • i luv this song sn the mv they da shit on da reals da bery few ver last bands on this ear fuk da rest is tmw d BEST

  • poor drummer... every song must feel like death. Love the mars volta!

  • people who complain abt the "# people ___" comments obviously dont realize they arent being forced to read them. 19 people are racist towards latin people

  • i wanna dance when i hear this song!

  • thats so fucking sick how they go into cygmund vismund cygnus...........soooooo fuckin sick

  • i love cedrics voice ond omars guitar skills

  • One of the greatest bands of all time.

  • 18 people missed the show lol

  • All right! For once I stumble onto something good!

  • @rs2pwner looks like honey haha. singers drink honey to clear the vocals

  • @juble3 tea

  • @rs2pwner Yes its a part of it, they did this sometimes in the earlier shows just before Frances The Mute. Idk.

  • lookint at omar at 8:49 gets me so pumped. like after the quiet part.

  • ZEPPELIN REVISITED!

  • @Jayrobassman I agree. My 6-disc changer is forever full of The Mars Volta and Led Zeppelin. And the album Relationship of Command, of course.

  • i have problems enjoying their live performances. theyre awesome but too experimental for drunk me.

  • @rs2pwner 1. yes they are. 2. it loks like he's drinking honey.

  • good

  • Fuck yes!

  • one of the few things our generation has had to offer.

  • Cygnus in the middle of Drunkship, thats perfect

  • I've been listening to their albums for many years now and I can still find new things that I haven't heard before in these songs. Absolutely incredible.

  • MODERN DAY ZEPPELIN

  • @JUMBOpin I was trying to explain to some one what they where like and this is what i told them... i haden't even seen this post!

  • @Eugyea that's awesome!  i love MV so much...AND at the drive-in

  • @JUMBOpin Pink Floyd w/ R. Plant

  • ah my favorite memory of this song was wandering out into the woods with this on my mp3 player, a big ass bag of weed, a very hot chick and a very happy ending 8D

  • My dick just exploded.

  • just throwin this out there...the cygnus jam...jon totally inspired that. they took it down and he just ran with it, Omar looked over like "holy shit good call", juan comes in with the bass, and there you have it folks...real jammin music.

    i love how influenced jon is by bonham. TMV lost that salsa soul bombast when they got rid of jon. 08:40 can you really get any more musically orgasmic than that? money. it's like zeppelin on steroids and speed. unreal musicianship.

  • @lpage2112 Holy crap! The DID go into Cygnus

  • 5:08 - 8:43=kewl

  • yea 5:08 - 6:48=kewl, but the rest is total krap =P

  • 5:08 + is kewl. What is the name of that song? Or is it just a jam? It's the best material. U should separate it into a separate uploads so we don't have 2 wade through the bombastic BS noise 1'st =)

  • @Deathrape2001 at frist it was a jam , but they made it in to a song. the song is called cygnus...vismund cygnus it a very good song

  • @McGriff101 Thanx 4 the info dewd =D

  • Hoooooly Shit!

  • Who r the 18 fucking ignorants that didn't like this performance?!?

  • 5:40

  • i honestly don't understand why people called them sellouts. if they were sellouts, they'd completely give up their own style of music and writing in order to make more money off of someone else's material. they did no such thing. they stuck to their own style and so what if more than 5 hipsters know about them? they deserve to be recognized for their talent.

  • @pornomime33 I guess it's because they signed with a major label, and "real" pawnks don't approve of that. I agree with you, they're about as unfiltered as it gets, the only thing their label does is funding their records and tours, and once in a while making trailers and buying the occational grammy. But i don't care, as long as they make the bombshells they call records i'm happy.

  • @BrixSnBs heck yeah. :)

  • This whole entire show is pretty much sex to my ears.

  • @ravelength Rick Rubin should have been kept as a producer also

  • It sounds like Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus since 6.00 ;D

  • the cygnus jam gets me everytime. it blows me away how simple yet affective jons drumming was, and still is. he has influenced me in the most possitive way. thanks jon

  • I'm a heterosexula male, but still...

    Dat ass

  • @Gumbo550 hahahahah

  • @Gumbo550 i understand. i happens sometimes lol

  • @Gumbo550 DAMN! your never spot to cross the line saying that? lol funny anyhow made me luagh profusely :D

  • Interesting idea: The Mars Volta should write and compose a zombie movie/soundtrack and act in it and have that be there next album

  • niggerfaggit

  • @zachsh27 fifteen year old douchebag
