I know the notes and progression are completely different, but they obviously sound alike. I'm not declaring plagiarism or anything, someone pointed it out on the Textures video so I thought I would check it out.
Wow the drum solo isn't even that great; Thomas plays stuff like that in his sleep people. Love Mars Volta, but not a huge fan of Jon. Sorry guys, I know it makes me some kind of Nazi or something, but whatever....
@LordOfThePracticePad thats cuz you dont luv the mars volta.... its simple the mars volta was omar cedric jon juan adrian marcel and ikey thats it.... tmv died when jon was fired and tp joined the band... i hope deantoni understand omars brain and set the volta again cuz we really need it
There was a time when a rock band tried to make non-rock music, and one scream was heard by all the world... the next comes in a residual noise...just echoes... ... what disappointment...Goliath...
Pridgen can gargle my balls. Theodore will show Pridgen how to drum. Jon will be like "so this a hi-hat. that's a bass drum." and Pridgen will be like "damn. i didn't know that. I'm learning so much."
i like pridgen's feel on octahedron best. i mean there were only like 4 songs with drumming on that album, but it was all really good. nobody realizes that pridgen isnt like compulsive to spazzin out, there are sections in there songs live where each member improvs and those parts just happen to be most obvious with pridgen.
I dont like to compare jon and Pridgen. They are two different drummers with different backround. Personally i like Jon more for the mars volta and thats because Jon played on "de-loused" wich for me is the most complete peace of art ever. I mean it has everything....And i think he is very tasteful with his drumparts. And his style of drumming was/is very personal. Pridgen tends to "craze" out to much. And thats wonderful in its own way.
@Hemsom1rojder i dont compare them a lot either, but i think a different reason why not to compare them would be that omar composes everything, it would sound very similar no matter who played it, at least on the recordings it would. deloused is kind of an exception, i dont think omar wrote that one the same way as other albums, so theodore probly had more freedom in what he played, an the drums in deloused are amazing but the mars volta instrumentation always is
@Hemsom1rojder our views on TMV are identical. i like you, sir. De-loused is indeed the first masterpiece to have been created in my lifetime. (The second is the film 'The Fountain' ;))
@Hemsom1rojder I agree with everything said here. I love Jon, but sometimes (like live) Pridgen comes in handy. I mean I don't think Wax Simulacra would of been what it was without him.
@Hemsom1rojder Well yes, yes, I LOVE deloused and seeing Jon live. BUT I think it's worth mentioning that Blake Fleming came up with a lot of Jon's parts
@Hemsom1rojder good point, thodore brings a good feels in the drums, and i missed his style but pridgen was very good too, they are just different, and both very original. D-loused album came out in a very good time,, i can just say that album was what i needed to listen in that moment,
jon theodore is a great drummer there are no two ways about it but no one seems to be willing to even give pridgen a chance for some reason. hes not jon theodore and jon is not coming back, omar said himself he never really felt the volta just get over it lol, thomas pridgen is actually probably a better drummer than jon theodore, and im not just a fanboy or anything hah i actually play several instruments, including drums : )
I don't think Jon is "great", he wont go beyond spreading single stroke rolls all over the drum set without even using his feet. He has only impressed me a bit in their concert at he Electric Ballroom, with his performance of Cicatriz ESP. I think anyone could play like Jon.
Jon Theodore is indeed GREAT. His greatness isn't in his amount of skill (of which he has plenty). His greatness is in his feel and his technique. The sound of his drumkit, and how he uses it. Pridgen is absolutely great in his own technically skilled, precise way... and he can prolly play anything Jon can play.... But it won't sound like Jon... It won't have that feel.
@pablobostero1280 not knowing nothing is a double negative. You basically just told him/her that they know everything about drumming. Didn't everyone take English in 1st grade???
@RorySinn Wow! u have hate feelings for people who you dont know... talking about people that doesn't help the world being perfect? fucking freak... stupid people like you should start knowing what's world like, you cant say world isn't perfect because people wont agree with you, use ur brain dumbass.
@jmmatos23 Thats exactly why the world isnt perfect, if everyone in the world agreed with me then there would be no conflict or unhappiness, we could all just worship a giant statue of jon theodore. I do sociology and politics in college i know what I'm talking about
i just listened this song on weed, dude, gosh... this is great, it's like prophesis, this talks about the 2012 thing, about the humandkind change, WOW... there is a face in the first finger...!! it's sacry and slow, it talks to you... it's says like "beware"... have a god night ;)
its a left hand facing you pointing to the left. Usually if someone is facing you and they put their hand out, it is pointing left. This means the hand is directly above the persons head. Subtle but weirdly noticable.
