The Mars Volta Roulette Dares live at big day out 2004

[TheRunningpuma]

i saw them after they released francis the mute and that was the perfect combination of deloused and the mute...sexy, compelling, energetic...jon please come back

[speedtrials100]

jesus man, a double orange stack. 

[mybloodycreek]

dear god, the de-loused incarnation of Mars Volta was so amazing live, thomas pridgen paled in comparison to jon thedore. i cant believe how much endless energy they put out every second of every song they play

[dandrummerdan1]

Whenever I listen to another band after listening to the mars volta they sound shit and weak in comparison.

[andthemushrooms123]

@dandrummerdan1 I know, they spoil us with their kickass music...

[TheRunningpuma]

@dandrummerdan1 you are so right! even zeppelin, as badass as they are, cant measure up to the energy and creativity of tmv. i dont think bonzo could shred on the drums like mr theodore

[zagyex]

@TheRunningpuma why is this comparing so important. always under yt videos. music is not a fuckin race of whos the coolest.

[robjs89]

ahh back when bdo was still pretty much the only australian festival getting big international acts.

[DelusionalBand2010]

What guitar is Omar using?

[mariorossipuzza]

@DelusionalBand2010 ibanez letters and numbers.

[magnerfan1]

@DelusionalBand2010 Jesus Christ's.

[JosePadillaMrqz]

This is just noise, for god´s love. A white gaussian noise...

[gregar5555]

@JosePadillaMrqz That transcends from human emotion that proceeds to give unprecedented knowledge that forms a "blur" of emotions and realistic spasmodic nonsense. That's what I adore about this band. The music and how much they put into it!

[LiNaK37]

@JosePadillaMrqz All music is noise. Your point?

[NickB33]

This was mars volta's best lineup

[maklo]

supreemee performance!

[rottinq]

now that my friends is a proper frontman

[rottinq]

i love this version!

[swansong200]

so much movement on stage...so little movement in the crowd.....

[BlueAvenue22]

@swansong200 hahaha thats Omars little brother

[azy42no]

Sooo does anyone else see joe jonas shaking a maraca in the background?

[RockNRollpt]

04:54 best trick ever with a microphone!

[fid3ld3ly]

cafe, no es lo de estos tipos... tan pasaos.... pero en el disco todo esta mas claro y ordenado y da gusto... vergs!!! tan es a 1000!!!!

[TashAmy03]

HA! 9:58 

[Dachtewitz]

the spirit of the 70`s - the heart of the 80`s - that`s the MARS VOLTA

[CarlosHigg]

so much energy! they must be pretty freaking high

[RustyDancing]

anyone else notice the drummers shirt? "fuck bush" lmao right on:D

[Poulet39]

john était le moteur de ce groupe, d'une musicalité hors pair.

[ShocknTerror]

around the 7 minute mark Omar sounds like he's playing stuff from Frances

[evanisgay11]

TMV is the best live band....ever.

[clarkcu00]

It sounds fucking terrible but i don't even care cause it's shit-hot, i'm sweating from dancing in my chair.

[HyperTealWolf]

Man, Cedric is something else. still fuking epic but i don't think any other band will be able to recreate TMVs live performances

[slipknotmeep]

8:50=Yes.

[Brandon18valensi]

great!! mexico flags

[TheVenturewest]

dude when your stoned that guitar solo makes you cry and that dancing all makes since. thats whats good about them they say fuck you to anything normal and and just play off emotion...bet it was 10 times better to actually be there

[anautumnprayer]

Not the best live performance I've seen by them, and though TMV are my second favorite band of all time; Cedric needs to knock off all the fucking dancing. If he wants US to stop slam dancing and move the way it comes naturally, that's totally fine, but I'm sure a lot of those people paid good money to hear an amazing tenor voice with the music and maybe SOME dancing, not just to watch a pretentious prick throw stuff and jump around.

Just my opinion. Music gets an A+ and the vocals get a B-

[lilgmichael]

@anautumnprayer

WHERE HAVE YOU SEEN BETTER!?

ARE YOU CRAZY?

[TravuhsWree]

@anautumnprayer THANKS FOR THE AWESOME REVIEW BRO. EVERYBODY HAS BEEN WAITING TO HEAR YOUR OPINION BECAUSE GUESS WHAT, SONNY, THE WORLD REALLY DOES REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND WHAT YOU THINK, AND EVERYBODY CARES ABOUT WHAT YOU SAY. TOTALLY BRO. TOTALLY. THANKS BRO. THANKS.

[hovzio]

@TravuhsWree "Flashless" TROLL

[TravuhsWree]

@hovzio LOL I'm a troll, but what are you trying to be? Isn't calling me a troll both satisfying my apparent need for reactions and attention and also making you out to be a troll? I mean, c'mon guise... why else would you call me a troll and pretend like I don't have flash? "Tone deaf" TROLL LOL THAT'LL SHOW YOU YOU BIG MEANIE YOU!

[Dimenshial]

Astounding, pure energy. Cedric's vocals are just beyond celestial. Would have given my left kidney to be here.

[pornomime33]

that's when you know you're into the music.

[jerrytheman1987]

Who gives a fuck if he is married! why do fucking dumb ass fans care about their personal lifes more than the ACTUAL MUSIC? Listen to the music, than get to know the artist, thats why i love these guys, they dont give a fuck about fame or money, all they care about is making AMAZING MUSIC!

Fuck The Media and TV and Tabloids!

[bagoada]

but backwards

[pinkpop91764]

HEY EVERY1! CHEEK OUT MT ATDI BASS COVER N COMMENT IT YA! THANKS!

[canthinkverywell]

fuck, so epic. i know ive commented on the same video repeatedly but only becuz its so amazing....

why cant i write anything like omar!!!?? everytime i think i have a good song i can compare it to rush or pink floyd or circa survive but when some1 asks "mars volta?" im just like "i wish..."

[koniax]

@canthinkverywell

These guys have been musicians for over a decade, don't judge yourself based on how amazing they are.

[putridfluid]

the band doesnt exist, only the music.

[PsyShpongle]

dont use muse and Mars Volta in the same sentence, fu.k muse...

[RouletteD123]

@PsyShpongle My thoughts exactly. ."oh you like The Mars Volta, maybe you'd like this band called Mu.."

"No!, Just fuck off!" "Leave me the FUCK alone" :D

[Peerez67]

@PsyShpongle Or any other band for that matter.

[Iggysassin]

@PsyShpongle I like both The Mars Volta and Muse, problem?

[s4msam]

@PsyShpongle Both bands are among my favorites, so fuck you, sir.

[Killinfloor]

@angelavenged20 Fuck that The Mars Volta are so much better.

[themarsvoltafan1215]

they were so much better live back then now cedric sucks most of the time live

[acrazyspiritual]

kebabs!

[WillKill4Weed]

Last comment!-I swear i wont really kill for weed, i just picked the name because its 4444, see if you get it?!

[chrisdrage1]

@WillKill4Weed wow man, you must be really deep and intelligent

[WillKill4Weed]

@chrisdrage1 not really! i just enjoy music when im fucked up. hell! if you think about it the pattern fits, TMV made there music while they smoked a blunt and popped pills, shit they even snorted yayo. So i can relate to there complex patterns.

[chrisdrage1]

@WillKill4Weed no, i was talking about your reason for your user name being because it was four fours, plus i kinda doubt you drank a 30 pack snorted some coke and were still conscious enough to type that comment with so little spelling errors or anything, plus you're kind of acting like you're exposed to some kind of secret better music just cos you get high a lot instead of maybe finding something fun to do whilst you are fully aware of what is going on

[chrisdrage1]

@WillKill4Weed plus you're a homophobic cunt at that, you talk about drugs opening up your mind and shit but you still don't seem to be able to accept that some people are natrually gay

[WillKill4Weed]

i just drank a 30 pack of bud and snorted an 8ball of yayo, wow these guys are so awesome when ur fucked up! please if you have second thoughts about The mars Volta get really fucked up! and youll be able to break the song down in layers>>>>its so awesome! I cant spell!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!im so numb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jjschneider10]

These guys are crazy , , , and AWESOME!!!

[MrAmputechture]

anyone know where to find a video of the complete show? All I can find are the two tracks: this one and Cicatriz

[HylianGuard]

Damn Jon theodore is a frickn beat-machine!

[Asciipanda]

It seems like you either need to have an afro(Jewfro acceptable) or be black to be a Mars Volta drummer.

[canthinkverywell]

@Asciipanda black people make great drummers. my town's incredibly white...of the 5 black kids in my school, 3 can drum, those 3 and me are the only drummers who are decent at all in this preppy pop-lovin butthole of a school. too bad those 3 don't play anything but rap...oh well, higher demand for good drummers in good bands can only be good for me :)

[Asciipanda]

@canthinkverywell Haha I feel you on the incredibly white town thing. All the drummers at my school (including myself) are all white boy's, and most of them are pretty bad. So I guess you have something there.

[canthinkverywell]

@Asciipanda i can only name 2 white drummers in my school i know are good, and i'm one of them haha. maybe i should grow a fro....

[MozVolta]

9:57 to 10:02

EPIC

[deeloused]

The drummer you see playing is Jon Theodore, the original drummer who played on Deloused in the Comatorium// Francis the Mute; Thomas Pridgen is the new drummer.

[sockittome07]

i know that. but thomas pridgen isn't mars volta anymore. he dropped out in october

[snehesten]

Dave Elitch is the latest drummer

[serchmusik]

Thomas is out of The Mars Volta

[Asciipanda]

@sockittome07

I actually think he sounds more like Jon here. He's not as crazy and technically skilled as Thomas. He's more subdued (when it comes to Volta drummers) like Jon.

[MRman2737]

gota love the drumer

[EvanTheMute]

2:39

[AmoebaLandsCraft]

They don't perform like this anymore - it's a shame, I seen them in December and they focus more on there performance these days rather than smoke pot and go crazy on stage, it's a little disappointing, don't get me wrong though there my favorite band, i love them but i preferred these kind of performances. Suppose they might just be getting old - Best performance of Roulette Dares.

[Prof3ssrBrando]

@AmoebaLandsCraft

Dude, spazzing on stage takes so much energy.

You really have to be in great shape to do it and

not feel it the next day.

[DandelionVolta]

They're as sick as ever, but they aren't "fast and furious" anymore.

[drweth89]

just saw them at festival hall in melbourne, absolutely fucking brilliant!

[breachmania]

why is this good

[AmoebaLandsCraft]

Because it's different and not the same as all of that mainstream shit out there.

[Mullineux1]

they finsihed on this at the gc 2010 bdo.

sooooo good.

[ESPCerpintaxt]

Just Fucking Amazing!!!!

[xIAMDAVEx]

they wore diff clothes back in the day didnt they! now omar always wears a black vest and cedric all black lol

[ikagamimasahiro]

SANTANA&KING CLIMSON

[Prof3ssrBrando]

@ikagamimasahiro

OH MY GOSH! I didn't even think of that. So true!!

[kdrek]

De los Músicos mas completos. , Arte

[SKEvil]

They'll probably be up sometime tomorrow.

[ispofdoom]

Just got back from big day out. Mars Volta ruled, although I'll say it took a while for the sound to be right (for audience and Cedric, etc). Fantastic set.  Anyone got any vids of 2010 BDO?

[thirdeye22]

BDO AUCKLAND 2010 TODAY!!

[MeurglysIV]

amazing intro

[canthinkverywell]

amazing

[justinsanesaid12]

@canthinkverywell its because this is. (yes that was a bad pun,)

[snehesten]

This is when I still thought mars volta was the shit and not only listened to omar's solo stuff

[justinsanesaid12]

2:39 best guitar flip ever

[05mcmtyl]

keen for big day out 2010

[ExitArcade92]

This is The Mars Volta Experience!

And it is Awesome!!!

[epiphysis]

jon theodore is so rad

[MrAmputechture]

where is he nowadays? i heard him in One Day As A Lion but other than that, where's he been?

[epiphysis]

I've actually talked to him a few times on his myspace - he actually manages it and what not and... he gets on a few times a week. Can't get much info out of him though!

If your a musician hit him up about jamming with him sometime! may never happen but, might be able to chat with him

[lesclaylistnr]

i love the build up from 0 right to 13 seconds, then omar just sets off a rocket explosion of music by stomping on that pedal. these music is so moving

[intrepidview99]

I wonder if Muse were watching this live...they said they wanted to pre BDO 04; and likewise for TMV

[IWorshipMyMusic]

Breathtaking. My ear pussy is being PLOWED.

[canthinkverywell]

@IWorshipMyMusic how poetically accurate

[fnordster]

this is the mars volta at thier best.

[sockittome07]

the reverb is incredible on the those orange amps

[VioletChildBand]

anyone know what guitar omar is using in this video???

[GodspeedYouMattP]

It was a custom made Ibanez AX model, with a Seymour Duncan mini-JB in the bridge. He told ibanez he wanted something like the Line 6 variax shape, but without the sucky electronic aspect haha

[iamisandisnt]

9:30

[mewandrumnstuff]

theyre playing at big day out 2010, i can't wait, its physically impossible- im gonna explode

[stooge123454]

same, it is going to be fuckn CRAZY !

[sickpuppy4o20o1]

@mewandrumnstuff you bastard. I wish they had a "big day out" in fucking CT. some people have all the luck

[SteVeThe3rd]

I love the keyboard sections!

go ikey!

[atdi71]

oh bitch shut up!ur comment was unessessary!stup lil bitch!

[playd0h51]

you are jealous because he will always be able to get more pussy than you. and even if he is gay, he will still be able to get more pussy than you.

[TopGunOriginal]

@playd0h51 You know he is married.....right?

[gregar5555]

@TopGunOriginal notice how his post was 9 months before cedric was married? lol

[atdi71]

wait!wtf was cedric wearing a thong!please the mext person to read this please tell me if he was or not please!god cedric is so wierd!

[Lreg478]

its probably comfortable for all the moving around hes doing

[Motilliatta]

No, they're like kids briefs with cartoons n' shit on 'em. He wears girls pants too, but if this stuff bothers you than you're the one who's weird.

[Millsiak]

Lmao there briefs not a thong haha

[ginga162]

one of the pest perfomance of the mars volta, but i agree with you that de-loused is the best. The other albums are just too f***ing extreme

[weix86]

jon fucking kills this song

[ajaakola]

i know im going to be chastised for this comment...but why didnt they just stick to this style...i saw them live in st. paul in 2005 and they ruled....now theyre getting out of frame...long live atdi and de-loused in the comatorium

[TheScapAttack]

Look man, I liked them back then too, but consider it from their point of view. If they keep going out on stage with the same sound and the same style, they will never evolve as a band, and it would probably get old as fuck for them. And think about how much they changed from atdi to deloused. Do you really think they could evolve that much and just stop? But, I must say, valid point. Although I still love all their new stuff, de-loused was the best.

[ajaakola]

of everything, thank you... i as well understand this are talented musicians who strive to evolve. I dont hate or even dislike what their "new" sound...but as a 21 year old i grew up with relationship and deloused...and its nice, when they throw a slow moving track in with the crazy shit...but it may be my nostalgia dictating, but they moved forward, passing me... but you, someone who appreciates them for who they are, we need to get these fuckers together for some ebroglio, and televators

[TheScapAttack]

hell ya :)

[Evtingperfect]

HOW he is doing that at 9:58 !!!!! this is soooo great and so scary ! Rock on xD

[Jaanniittoo]

Sensational performance indeed.

[nyckis]

sensacional!

[KissyouMissyouxxx]

Just one of the best band's around. I feel they are so innovative and insightful.....They have absolutely no fear of experimenting into new territory, they apply so much colour into their music...and express it with such fiery emotion and honesty..I love that.

Cedric has some great moves ! I l like the way he totally abandon's himself to the songs..It's so erotic, ( Just to be completely shallow about it : )

What a great performance.

J.

[nismocuaad]

where can i download this video?

[cOnDeTbM]

crush orange amps :D

(y)

[drumsex]

for me this is thw best roulette version back in the good volta days when theodore was in the band!! omar is a freakin god

[sockittome07]

i would have to agree

[L1v3f0rgu1t4r]

Best. Roulette Dares live. Ever.

[XeroxFred]

Best Volta Performance Ever. Well except maybe Adelaide '07

[PornoPlaylist]

7:56 how cute. cedric tried to take a bite out of omar.

[420lexi]

this is my favorite performance

omar is so god damn sexy

[comarose]

Was this the Melbourne BDO?

[PornoPlaylist]

is Jon wearing...........a shirt?!?!??

[Chingeesoraus]

not any kind of shirt......a shirt that says FUCK BUSH

[psychopomp88]

yes.

and for this he was promptly fired the next day

[biborka2008]

HúúúúúDe jó kis zenécske !

[dankhank93]

I cant hear the bass man worth shit

[JaNiHaMi]

Cedric does the scariest movements in history of all bands since the beatles.

anyway these guys are f****** awesome.

does anyone know on wich guitar omar plays?

[runndrumnswim]

Squier Super-Sonic (At The Drive-In),

Ibanez AX120 Custom Model,

Ibanez JTK2 Jet King Custom Model,

Ibanez ORM1 Omar Rodriguez Lopez Jet King Model

[carolfreakk]

sooo fucking good<333333

[0redthunder0]

That is one fucking energetic performance!!!!

[createdp1ayer]

people dont undestand how important jon was 2 there sound

[pinkfloyd105]

This is potentially the best performance they ever put on of roulette dares

[shattercones]

Gene Gene the dancing machine!

[420lexi]

look at ikey tearing that shit up

[dreguera5027]

this show was legendary. amazing performance, dont know why the crowd is just standing there?

[samsino]

its BDO so the majority of people are dickheads who wouldnt appreciate mars volta at all.

[0redthunder0]

That must have been one fucking awesome BDO I mean mars volta AND muse in the same concert haha

[mariereneest]

most people appreciate a good performance regardless of the band...i met plenty ofppl at the la detour festival who became tmv fans just cause their live show

[shabutie]

i hope one day i have the balls to trip on stage

[lafeese]

i would like to have omars and/or cedrics babies

[verdenodela1]

haha, I remember this show. the guitar strings were rusty as hell because of the band that played before us had to replace the guitar with some strings they found in their van, so my fingers got cut up pretty bad. :(

I look like a helpless bulimic too

[kirnelsanderz69]

were they main stage or those 2 smaller stages

[guimaj1435]

Are you implying that you are a member of TMV? Because if so then you are an idiot.

[snoopgawg]

wait what the fuck??

i think you are implying that you are one......

wait are youu??

[ReduceReuseRemix]

too much distortion

still good though

[jenesaispas89]

fuck they were good. now cedric can't sing and omar has no ideas.

[ajesusgoat]

what u mean?

they did an amazing album last year..

[Schemezors]

lsd's one hell of a drug

[Rigerdaby]

Music is a better Drug

[uthian]

Rick James bitch
