Omar laughs like a little school girl....hahaha hilarious......its like when someone laughs and they make you laugh just by the way they laugh.....HHAHAHA...handle that shit.
@AdamClaytonWright It's really interesting to see the influences of the Mars Volta... Black Flag, The Stooges, Led Zepplin, King Crimson... all bands who fuckin' wrote music history like music gods... I wonder if The Mars Volta knows the Ozric Tentacles and what they're thinking of them...
@Gliebhard I dunno how much Spanish you speak, but Castilian Spanish and Mexican Spanish can be very different at points, so Cedric might be referring to the idea that the Blade Runner language could take from each.
@tonyAJ420 Is Omar dating Ximena or married to her? Everyone says that but I don't know for sure and it hasn't been confirmed that he's with her. Both of those women are fucking hot.
I just want to point out how quick Nard is on his toes at 0:53 Nard asks if there's a kettle on stage and Cedric answer's "yes there is, hot water" and Nard, quick and ready with the question of "well what are you drinking though" in which he quickly realizes his question is answered and without missing a beat launches in this rapid fire tollbooth of follow up "would u ever add any tea to that What are your fav teas Would u drink camel mile and fall asleep Have you ever fallen asleep?" Genius^^
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I know them well enough via their speeches they give before/during/after their performances I've seen live & the many videos I've seen of them. But outside of that, no. They just give off a super 'we know we're the shit' vibe & it's real lame. Have some tact. They're real overrated anyway.
If you listen to the interview on the website he showed them other records between Magma's and Throbbing Gristle's but they're edited out in this video. I'm not sure if that was a great idea because it makes it seem like Narduwar considers Gristble to be a prog rock band, when in reality they were an industrial band.
I think what made this interview awesome is the fact that Nardwaur know's so so much about the music world and it makes cedric and omar actually enjoy talking to him. Interviewers do so much better when they know as much or more than their interviewees when it comes to music because they ask the right questions.
It seems like the Mars Volta hate having fans. I realize that a lot of fans of certain bands can be enormous douchebags at times but its not fair to lump everybody in like that. I don't expect anything from them with their music I am just a fan of what they do whatever it is, I'd be pretty pissed if I got chirped by them. I'd still be listening to the music though lol!
One of the best interviews I've ever seen. I really enjoyed how Nardwuar kept things light but still knew his shit. He kept the guys laughing the whole time. This is how more interviews should happen, not all the serious bullshit that goes on most of the time.
Once you watch Nardwuar's interviews you CANNOT watch any other interviewer --THEY SUCK compared to this guys playfulness and research and love of the artists. Wow he makes all other interviews lazy and fiucking boring in comparison. Not lying....
DUDE, you know I think the new album has some sort of connection with Julio Cortazar. He wrote a book called Octaedro which translates to Octahedron. I think there is some influence I bet! I think Nardwuar can forsee the future!
like many of his books Octaedro is a compilation of several short stories, in this case 8 stories that's why is called Octaedro. Cortázar plays with many themes in the book from death to dreams. You should read it. The stories are all fill with, how the ordinary becomes something fantastic. Only for readers who are willing to create their own interpretations. In the same as with the Mars Volta music.
you DO notice it is entirely possible that that book had no connection to the naming of the album whatsoever, as an octahedron is a common geometric figure that omar could have heard of without ever having been influenced by any author...... right? or is it just me who notced that TMV name a lot of shit the way they do because said name simply sounds cool to them?
We dont know anything about them. This is my favorite band in the world and Omar is my biggest inspiration as an artist. I study his style and gear set up religiously. They write music, we just listen and conjure up different ideas about why they (Omar) may have made those songs or parts the way that they are.
Seriously...I mean as much as he's right (and he is right i mean...i dont know fuckall about im outside of shows/interviews) it's still a rude thing to say about people who take an emotional investment in your art.
I think he was just annoyed with the people who focus on things other than their music. Later he said they did the thing with the posters because the fans like it, so....
Wow that guy did his homework. He actually struck the right chords and got them to speak. Normally when they do interviews they look like they wanna shoot themselves.
"Why should people care about Mars Volta, why should people care?"
Omar- "Um, I don't know, it's kinda like herpies, I guess you should just, you know, you should take care, and check it out, and, you know, it's gonna be around, and it grows and it spreads, so..."
I love the mars volta, but they are some egotistical assholes. I'm sure there are some fans who pay more attention to the image rather than the music, but for Cedric to write off TMV's entire fan base by saying "they seem to pay attention to everything but the music" is fucking ignorant. He is the one who is not paying attention, TMV probably has some very smart fans who appreciate TMV's "outside the box" music. Cedric is just being an asshole.
haha you tube pay me! Funny shit. Am I jerk for watching all this stuff? I own all their CD's and EP's Am I still wrong for watching them religiously on youtube?
its unfortunate that just like Cedric says 'sometimes they (being the fans) notice everything but the music' i mean isnt that the point of making music? for the music? not the hair or the food or the whatever...
