Mars Volta - Roulette Dares (Cedric tripping balls)

[juggernaut725]

0:05 drop it like it's hot.

[gtralisfr69]

Note to self: Don't ever give Cedric anything fuzzy.

[Gzorz]

Hahaha! Why's everyone talking about drugs? He was just lost in the moment and thought he could sing into that microphone.

[Vartex]

He probably hoped to do something creative with the microphone he was yelling into but it wasn't on.

[kubiksahara]

0:04....The Best entrance into nirvana!

[andthemushrooms123]

he's not tripping balls; he's just a madhead. But then again who DOESNT wanna go crazy like this when listening to the Mars Volta?

[spikespeigel]

he is sober since 2003 dipshit

[kubiksahara]

Listen to the WHOLE song...~! watch Cedric...he is ok the whole song...but then he just start to tranform!>the music invites him to the trip.....i am sure that he is SOBER here...only natural HIGH! ;) peace

[kubiksahara]

0:24 Cedric has a BONER! :)

[kubiksahara]

@kubiksahara 0:23 :)

[spastic017]

Cedric is insane!

[OGanj280]

And people call lennon a badass, lol

[NickB33]

Cocaine is a hell of a drug

[DimebagsLeftToe]

im pretty sure this is before they kicked drugs, right? so i mean even if he didnt act like this, im sure he was on a cocktail of drugs. lets just say that its not the drugs that make him act that way

[metalcore929]

what a badass

[dyllanmejia]

that's fucking stage presence!!! hahah fuck yeah!!!! =D

[NosferatuOfWorms]

I'll have what he's having!

[01jarf]

hoorraay for LSD

[abarbar06]

i love the jam in this video. wish it was a track i could listen to

[uncrules]

Ulmeyda08, I like to think I have a good outlook on life. And thats to say fuck the social norm and anything that associates. It's all bullshiiit. :)

Seems these guys think somewhat like that too. \m/

[koolmaaan]

thats crazy that he can do a handstand like that!!

[scarfacecloud]

oh fuk mannn ..what underwear is he wearing .. i need a pair of those

[ConspiracyofMyHeart]

wow...he is tripping balls! lol i still love them! it makes me love them more!

[feveryoucantsweat]

Ulmeyda08, I hate when people do that too...but in this case...i agree with everyone.

hes clearly on drugs. haha i love it.

[mariofan4523]

Acid or shrooms?

[niel80]

@mariofan4523 none of those... pure asshole! lol..... naaa he is well known for been a junkie! for real! I know him

[abarbar06]

i like the jam they got going

[mikeediaz]

Well, he is actually on drugs. I love the mars volta. Most likely he was rolling.

[sashikokittenn]

<33333333333333 Omg. Cedric. 83

[7sage7]

@weezyquay not that michael jackson didnt do PCP or anything...

[thedrippingface]

ps, they usually don't "trip" they usually "roll" (extacy) but it makes for a DAMN good show.. i'm sure it would be intense to watch

[lorrainethepain]

Wow, Cedric wore underwear that day...damn, I miss Jon...

[weezyquay]

Cedric is the psychedelic Michael Jackson :D

[Bazurk399]

hahah chill out Ulmeyda08 the funny this is he is on drugs =]]]] cedric at his prime whoioooo

[weezyquay]

0:02 couldn't of pulled that off if he was tripping balls. lol, but really.

[alexpitt5]

It is a fact that Cedric did a fair amount of drugs, but I don't think, in this instance, he is, as you say "tripping the balls"

[troykeenanguitar]

0:23 lol

[dachamp07]

Come on people you have to remember, the mars volta is a VERY unique band and when your playing infront on THOUSANDS of people, the energy can get to much to handle and there is no other way of expressing it

[jokerofthepack18]

shut the fuck up

[genefrenkle4]

does anyone know what kind of head Omar is using? I think I see a few rockerverbs to the side of the stack but what's on top?

[miceskin]

Pretty sure I know lots of people that do drugs and just sit there and not make anything great at all. I was one of them. heh heh. TMV is so good, it's downright ridiculous. They can do whatever the fuck they want in my book.

[ANONtkakes]

0:01-0:08

totally stealing that.

[MozVolta]

Gotta love the superhero underwear.

[madpaintbalerx]

Hahaha Cedric's girly skip at the end had me laughing.

[Joah1991]

Haha, I noticed that too.

[PakiroVah]

0:23

How suggestive...

[eglbc]

DID THE ACID DIED?

[Awstentbpguitar]

The only other band I can think of that is as crazy as these guys live is Foxy Shazam.

[MegaKitty1987]

0:19

WHAT ARE YOU

*tear off*

[casiokilltoy]

this is dumb, whoever titled this video obviously has never seen Cedric live before, yeah he may be spastic and had a wide assortment of drugs in his lifetime but this is normal...

[XBrodyXDalleX]

lol your a fucking retard who knows nothing about thhis band if you think that.

Juts because some of their musci was formuleted while on drugs doesnt mean they perform on it you fool.

[tokeburns]

and you're an immature child if you think calling people names over the internet is gonna put you in a superior position of knowledge about certain rock groups. there are interviews in which they talk about their openess to drugs, they where taking heroin when they were 17. they obviously are good musicians, any good musician can still go on stage and play music of this complexity, even on LSD. hendrix and zeppelin come to mind. hell Francis Crick was on LSD when he discovered the DNA molecule

[XBrodyXDalleX]

Yeah just because they did drugs at certain points in their lives doesnt mean their on acid "more than half" the time they perform.

[freak1215]

apparently violating one mic isn't enough xD

[tonyAJ420]

Does this jam/interlude have a name?

[Jagstaldincola]

roulette dares!! lolz..

[KDCarter89]

You gotta love how he breaks it down at the beginning of a video. Horse kick followed with a random pose. What would I do if these guys wasnt around...

[calypso99]

probably listening to At The Drive-In

[Soygregery]

Esta loko :o :V  :B

[tyster23]

I just notice after the 10th time watching the full song, that Jon is wearing a "Fuck Bush" shirt. HAHA

[carpet5698]

go chap

[tranciapalle]

In a Famous Tool's song there is something from Bill Hicks: "See, I think drugs have done some *good* things for us, I really do. And if you dont believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a Favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn em. 'Cause you know what? The musicians whove made all that great music thats enhanced your lives throughout the years...

Rrrrrrrrrrrrreal ------ high on drugs."

[joerflagg]

You mean "Third Eye"

[urbancityartist]

third eye..i love tool man.and that saying is so true lol..TOOL ARMY!

[Scarface066]

"Today a young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."

I fucking love Tool.

Tool and TMV ftw!

[tool111saul]

that say bill hicks in the song third eye, i love tool, bill hicks (the modern nietzche), and the mars volta ;D

[facedspaced]

I had heard/ thought that it was Timothy Leary in third eye? either way, TMV and tool are possibly my two favorite bands so good taste my friend!

[DannyAndAaronPIC]

YES tool tmv and omars solo stuff ownes

[kubiksahara]

@Scarface066 RIP BILL HICKS

[Josh0889]

this breakdown is fucking brilliant. most amazing thing i've ever heard. perfect music. fuck yeah Mv

[jeramiedaniel224]

i am known as my school as a stoner .. it sucks to be labled just quit, drugs are mind openers, and creative explosions i love them

[DangerDrVenture]

You fail at life.

[ibanezmon]

Cedric quit drugs when one of his band members died

[frump]

hahaha yeah so they said.

[DeLoused777]

he only quit opiates.

[ibanezmon]

No, the whole band stopped using drugs after one of the members died

[DeLoused777]

Nhen Jeremy Ward died they said they were only gonna quit opiates b/c that's what he overdosed from; and dude, i saw them last year on 4-20 in chicago and trust me they did not quit drugs...bong hits and everything!

[vincentBurden]

Opioids.

[Mahisse]

They're going to be on Roskilde Festival this year. I fucking hope Cedric will spass out and show his famous moves and atitude, lol. 1 thing is for sure: I AM THERE!

[Stefanoitch]

im going to roskilde this year to cant wait!!!

[KingTman]

cedric 1 crazy fuck

[Ulmeyda08]

lol I hate people who label everything that isnt normal to be on drugs

oh look at him dance HE MUST BE ON DRUGS.

oh what an odd painting HE MUST BE ON DRUGS.

oh what a weird thing to say HE MUST BE ON DRUGS.

[peaceandamrit]

but he is, picasso was, the the thing about saying weird things, stoners are on drugs

[Ulmeyda08]

but you don't need drugs to create, say or do something beautiful you need imagination, and that was the point I was trying to make.

[malaowala]

@Ulmeyda08 you're absolutely right that it should be labelled or categorized.. but lets be honest, they actually did do a lot of heroin and coke.

[AckAttack77]

@Ulmeyda08 many of the great woks of song writers and authors stems from some kind of altered mental state caused by drugs

[MikeTheGuy00]

@Ulmeyda08 True. What it takes to be creative is being honest with yourself and loosen up your conscious. Things like beer and weed do that for people... it doesn't MAKE you creative or 'genius', it simply fucks with you enough that you're just more open and honest about things... or as some people would refer to as being 'chill'.

So you can do it without drugs. Just relax and welcome your random occurring thoughts.

[DJScallywag]

HES NOT ON DRUGS he used to be, the whole band used to be. After atdi split and ward died they agreed to stop drug use

[interpolluter29]

People assume we all do original or "weird" things because of drugs. In turn, they must REALLY be on drugs.

[beavermonlives]

not for a few years

[ruglock]

@interpolluter29 We are ALL on drugs!

[tvvilla]

@Ulmeyda08 i love cedric and mars volta as well but stop defending them. he might not have been on drugs at that moment but if you knew anything about the band you would know they consume a huge amounts of all types of drugs. but who cares? the music is all that

[this1s4urmom]

yep. who cares???

millions of bands do drugs.

[this1s4urmom]

@Ulmeyda08 hey you never know. just kidding

[strokesman]

@Ulmeyda08 both cedric and omar have taken a lot of drugs in their time. A sober guy would never dance like this. It our nature to label things. You rebel. You're a non conformist!

[happytime13]

@Ulmeyda08 Fuck yes, someone who understands it. I go to a place called TAFE and because i don't say or wear anything "conventional", Im that guy that who trippy and on drugs! People see drugs as freedom and expressive but most times there anything from it!

[ThePajaromuerto]

@Ulmeyda08 jajajjajajajajja

[TakeOpal]

@Ulmeyda08 It is quite probable that Cedric was on something. At this time he was an an user.

[jflrsvt]

@Ulmeyda08 you are one of the few remaining intelligent people in this world

[kosmokramer3121]

@Ulmeyda08 yea but at this point in their career cedric was on a lot of drugs until jeremy ward died of an overdose.

[TheAnimatronic]

@Ulmeyda08

I agree.. But he probably was on drugs.

[nickhenigman]

@Ulmeyda08, it's funny cause he most likely is extremely stoned, lol. We all know this band is all about trippin.

[TheShatPants]

@Ulmeyda08 did you not see what he was doing on the video???

[remoteviewing0]

@Ulmeyda08 but cedric... probably was on drugs xD

[TravuhsWree]

@Ulmeyda08 Oh someone questioning society HE MUST BE ON DRUGS.

[cubetube199]

@Ulmeyda08 ok well.....he must be if he is climbing up that thing and trying to rip off a fuzzy cover for mic or something...i mean if he was like on shrooms it wouldn't look like a monster...and usually he is wack and a little energetic anyways but i think this was more wack then normal.

[Computerdisplay]

@Ulmeyda08 the thing is that Cedric IS on drugs in this performance, look at their interviews they say specifically what they are tripping on during the gigs.

[Computerdisplay]

@Ulmeyda08 sorry I didn´t see the other comment (or the fact that this is from a year ago)

[kidkrim]

@Ulmeyda08 yeah but he is on drugs

[scarfacecloud]

@Ulmeyda08 he is though ... O_o.. stupid fan ..lol idk why you are so against drugs?

[SenatorGrimshaw]

@Ulmeyda08 only...he DID do drugs.

[Julipapa]

im on drugs

[ShinyHeartDiary]

@Ulmeyda08 Man, I totally agree with that. While I'm not saying that they don't do drugs or that Cedric is not on drugs here (because I can't say that I don't know them personally)....I would like ppl to realize that you can dance like that even if you're not wasted! And it's awesome to be able to just feel the music and respond to it....I love dancing crazy as hell to music like this....and I don't do any drugs.

[ShinyHeartDiary]

@ShinyHeartDiary Also....I think he IS on drugs in this video. I would be surprised if he was not, especially considering when this was...

[mellitrom629]

@Ulmeyda08 But he is probably on drugs.

[RTBreal]

This is the most hardcore faygot shit I've ever seen in my goddamn life LMAO

[roodiedroogie]

Amaziing!! TMV ruuuulzzz

[ConnorShawMusic]

no one goes all out like the volta...Their shows are the best!!

peace

[noahrnlds]

holy crap he's like a gymnast 0:02

[cammo6901]

hes tripping alright.

...because hes under the influence of BEAUTIFUL MUSICAL SYMPHONIES.

obv.

[YouThinkYourSoTuff]

Cedric said when he was still in ATDI that he does all his dances that he used to do when he was a kid

[BestNameEvar]

I always laugh at how he tries to yell at that muted mic

[NaoTeDigo]

LOL

[raynetel]

Cedric wasn't tripping. He is naturally like this he feels the music.

[Einherjan]

Yep.

[0008brown8000]

Exactly,thank you!

:D

[AveEnd]

lol, you kids would be surprised, they've been doing it for years ;]

either way, tripping balls or not they're amazingly talented.

[purplehaze0120]

lol no he's probably tripping

[jesusdapnk1]

yea man hes siick

but its funny how he goes all out haha

[llamaguitarist]

I think Cedric regularly freaks out this much on stage whether he's been doing drugs that day or not.

But the title sure made me laugh. haha.

[MicrowaveGus]

It was live at the Big Day Out.

[RiceeateR666]

Who ever thinks Hes tripping balls over drugs is a LOAD OF FUCKING BULL SHIT!

Maybe they do drugs, but im sure thats how he acts when he always plays music, the whole band does.. they just love there music, and i don't blame em, there one of the finest bands out!

[derekjf85]

I think this fuckin are they on drugs or not arguement is fuckin stupid! It doesnt matter about there lifestyle! All that fuckin matters is the music! FUCK!

[spongeCrab29]

sad rick U should just commit suicide ...wats wrong with you flies in your body ???? or just stressed up becoz u got aids.....omar please swing the guitar on him for God's Sake

[pacmanghostx]

Cedric has been tripping balls since 1993. :)

(Remember a little band called At the Drive-In? ;))

[renegade687]

DO U THINK HE WAS REALLY TRIPPING HERE?

[DangerRifai]

Nah, he's not tripping anything, mate.

[Sepultube]

how is he tripping balls? he is just dancing like he always does

[interpolluter29]

Why oh why did I have to miss a Sunday show because of College?

[OptionSnow00]

It takes a real douche to quote Bills Hicks after hearing it at the beginning of a tool song. Cedric stopped using drugs years ago. Nice try though friend.

[AutumnsFlameInMyEye]

lol probably the only thing he's heard from bill

[halfie25]

How can you be sure Cedric stopped using drugs OptionSnow? I think you should re-evaluate what you just said... lol. Much love!

[AlabamaManWhore]

Actually the whole band stopped when their friend Jeremy Ward died of an overdose. This was right before that time so he might have been high on something.

[makkura42]

AlabamaManWhore, you're mistaken. They stopped using opium etc etc. They still smoke weed, and if I'm not mistaken Cedric is still drinking his mushroom tea onstage. All you really need to do is watch the Aberinkula vid. Or Ilyena. Or an interview. Anything, really. It's completely obvious and I'm so tired of seeing people commenting that they're not on drugs anymore. It's not true. Simple as that.

[Syn93]

Where can i find this concert in torrents? Thanks!

[toxzen]

Not sure if it's true... but I heard at one of their performances cedric rolled around on the stage the whole performances like a dog having a seizure. Again, not sure if it's true, but I would pay good money to see it.

[Destroyme]

L-

o-

l-

.

[hipera]

it´s not the same =C

[fashodow]

haha. this dude's insane. Cedric's the man.

[chard111]

haha thats cedric SOBER. id be scared to see his salsa skills after consuming an eighth of some potent boomers...

[PolysaturatedFat]

Opiates, ladies and gentlemen.

[Computerdisplay]

yeah...and so what? Ill quote a great man: "I think drugs have done some good things for us, I really do. And if you dont believe drugs have done good things for us, do me a favor: go home tonight and take all your albums, all your tapes, and all your cds and burn them, because you know what? The musicians who have made all that great music thats enhanced your lives throughout the years...

where real high on drugs!"

--Bill Hicks

Radiohead, Tool, RATM...all influenced by him

[Computerdisplay]

and many others...

[LeviVdBogaard]

Prying. Open. My. Third. Eye.

[ass12345666543]

my tits are SO sore right now!!! :( A

[yeoldeface]

wow why is it that every TMV fan has fucked up version of their album history LOL

[Ongar0303]

[ElGoodo]

Haha at 0:23 the Mic looks like a giant shaft on Cedric.

[ShawnPutnam]

Lol nice call on 0:23

[introvertical71]

The MC5 for a new generation.

Controlled chaos is always interesting.

[EidbrecherFan]

[santoXpatrono]
