The Mars Volta - Teflon (live @ ICA london 09)

[Fireinthefudgehole]

The sound quality is baaaad, but I kept watching because of Cedric's magical hips...

[cheporeneasseo]

i hate this album

[SteVeThe3rd]

eeeew

sound fail...

fucking shame

[XxzeppelinxX]

Well in east Africa when a homosexual becomes known they stack tires to their necks and set it to flame according to my ethiopian roommate. sooo maybe that has something to do with the song meaning?

[foundrelsillusion]

Criticism hardly sticks to Satan either... if you've ever tried lol

[gbrooks2]

Cedric's vocals are another instrument. Simple as that. Don't waste your time looking for an underlying theme in any Volta song, because you'll never accomplish anything.

[7734591202]

Song is about conservative politicians what the majority of Americans and the world thinks of them and the end is talking to them about what will happen if they regain power.

Says who?

The mars volta so shut up.

Teflon is an non stick surface just like criticism doesnt seem to work with republicans they dont do what the country wants but what they want.

[CutenCuttlery]

I'd like you to cite your source of TMV saying this, please.

Just out of my own curiosity.

[rob5000x1]

last part of comment, total wiki reference lol

[Lopkop19]

I have serious doubts that the awesomeness that is The Mars Volta would lyrically sink to the retarded level that American politics inhabits.

[CyraxReece]

@7734591202

Or maybe they just come from themselves, and this dictates the creative process which develops the songs.  This is just another theory as well, as I have not talked to them.

[ScottBrown666]

such good quality!

[legitstuff]

@ScottBrown666 you got me all excited

[ybtt]

Seriously, let the song mean what it means to you but it's so pointless to argue it to someone else, everyone acts like they're right, but who the fuck gets to say what any artist, the mars volta or not, is truly writing about? Let it mean a lot to you and just interpret it your own way... they're modern day muscial impressionists and it's some of the best music in the world in my opinion.

[bushead13]

okay honestly does it matter what the songs mean? haha i think you guys are trying too hard... cedric said in an interview about teflon "i had been writing the lyrics and sort of testing the waters of how much i could say if McCain had won the election"

anywho, just enjoy the music :)

[NonStopJulioA]

my red hair is there!!!! thats me with the red hair right in front...

[Savefrank56]

no the album theme is "speaking in tongues rap battle". They are "mad" at a guy that mind fucked them and harasses them telepathically.

[shitfeast]

sorry to burst your bubble budd, i love conspiracy thoeries just as much as the next guy. but this whole album is about women being kidnapped from el paso and taken into juarez. the album revolves around that theme, so your interpetation is incorrect.

[fuckyougeorgebush]

This song is without a doubt about the secret societies that compose the Illuminati.

Teflon is a reference how criticism doesn't stick to them.

Let the wheels burn is a reference to how they dispose of the evidence.

Take the hostages into the oval office is a reference to how the illuminati have taken the oval office hostage and "cleared their brains" with a soft pull of the trigger to make them their drones.

Omar's latest solo album expresses his clear knowledge of the Illuminati. Old Money

[Savefrank56]

The oval office part is a joke about some crazy wizard guy who was going to teleport into the oval office (if mcain won) and force mcain to make loving to sarah palin. (make him chew a viagra)..... basically a very dirty joke...

also another album theme is their sociopathic sense of humor..

[oblique65]

what aM I without the bruises!!@$##$

let the wheels burn!!!

TMV OWNZ

[Username11available2]

terrible quality :/

[rodrignot]

genial!! esta esta muy buena

el Octahedron esta bien echo

[Pravindaswani74]

Have you all notice that Cedric isn't making too much the classic crazy dances--thing i don't really care...i saw him in Barcelona,Spain..and that was the last tour i think doing the classic strange,shaman dances.Maybe they're more mature i don't know.

[skarocksemomom]

hes not your fucking windup doll. he doesnt have to do what you have heard about. did you ever think singing falsetto would be difficult while dancing around and doing donkey flips?

[Pravindaswani74]

you're totally right...!!!...Cedric rules--sorry man.

[silentviolence58]

He hasnt hit me up for that D rock anymore...that might have something to do with it.

[Pravindaswani74]

everyone is stuck witht he acoustic thing..it was just a thing Cedric told months ago the album came out....maybe it was just a mistake..now the poor guys have to explain in one hundred interviews the 'acoustic' thing.Octahedron is another Mars Volta masterpiece for their collection,maybe less better than Frances etc..but another piece of art of Cedric,Omar and co.

[mrbateman00]

This album is just right. I think it's exactly what they should have put out. Totally, a different direction for them....well mostly. I think it was Cedric that said "this is an acoustic inspired album".

[CerpinTaxt1983]

what a song .

[Caleeeman]

too bad about the sound. Bad ass though. Mars Volta is hit or miss for me. But Teflon is a hit. These chaps in the front row dont know what to do. Not too much head knockin. First listens I guess.
