The Mars Volta, a chat with Cedric and Omar at Sasquatch 08

[juggernaut725]

Damn... that soul patch. Mmmm...

[greaterJAY]

Zach Hill is an amazing drummer...

[xcielkotonoha]

freaking love him =)

[LetsGetHighOnMorris]

Anyone know the song playing in the background?

[cloneofbogart]

holy fuck.... good idea.

cedric says hes excited to see battles. what if he started singing with them now that tyondai is gone???? eh??? EEEEHHH?!?!?!?

[pmcgeehan90]

why is it that people always fantasize about artists being stoned all the time, it's retarded. oh they can't be artistic or creative without being stoned...morons.

[DocSicnarf]

@pmcgeehan90 statistics show artists normally abuse some sort of substance to release their inner demons. You can look back hundreds of years, all the greats at least abused alcohol. It's not a bad thing.

[BMXorHOMICIDE]

that hair is awesome!!

[andthemushrooms123]

He does not look high to me, this is just what a cheerful, friendly person acts like XD

And he's actually kind of cute! :)

[willimaybe]

@jacobdallen1 yeah i agree all theyre coked up performances looked awsome along with theyr modern ones

[Eltimbalero7499]

Wasn't this the festival that Cedric threw cymbals, lights and had a good ol time?

[omiianix]

beautiful hair...sexy!

[willimaybe]

cedric and omar are my heros :)

is it true they use to be base heads?

[danielhl22]

@willimaybe yes base rocks

[AtotheNtotheYtotheA]

@willimaybe They were until a few years back i think.

[chasemaxwell]

The best hair in showbiz, ladys and gentleman... after Robert Plant, of course...

[medicinalsnowball]

@chasemaxwell Cedric cut off all his hair recently. It's pretty short.

[jessy8281]

QUE LINDO QUE SOS CEDRIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!TE RE DOY

[Thominiho10]

SHIT ! Pause at 0:02 xD.

[TxGraffForYou]

did he just say he wanted to hear some chopped and screwed mars volta? SOMEBODY GET ON THIS NOW!!!!

[FondlingReply]

@TxGraffForYou Somebody needs to do it with L'Via. That song is so gangster.

[mrfudgeyhead]

@FondlingReply

No, it's better than gangster.

In that it's good and shreds balls. Crossing it with Sander Cohen shit though, like random lines, would probably be awesome.

We'll put some scientists on it.

[fob199]

Cedric is a latino Russel Brand

[cabs85]

@fob199 who the hell is russel brand?

[fob199]

@cabs85 look him up. he just looks like him. russel brand is a fucking moron

[mrfudgeyhead]

@fob199

Don't you dare compare sweet, awesome Cedric to sleazebag Brand.

You madman.

[ShinyHeartDiary]

I seen a lot of ppl stoned...I don't think Omar was stoned at all. I think he really did just wake up...the way he talks sounds like it to me (just to answer ppl who are debating that)

Also, I love Cedric and Omar they're both incredible artists and sexy sexy men! :D

[alsatiancousin1]

You can clearly see here that Cedric was having a bad hair day.

[doublehanded]

Great, casual interview.

[elzafi0]

poor omar :(

[MlkePortnoy]

I don't think he needs the squirrel effect on his voice...

[Nadukka]

jem and the holograms.. qué capo.

[elbluenose]

i look exactly like this guy lol im totally only 20 so yay

[hahaland74]

@elbluenose , Nobody gives a shit.

[caidenjohnsonpoetry]

@elbluenose Okay...

[s4msam]

I love how he said: " I try to sing with Mars Volta" at the beginning.

Now don't get me wrong, I love Cedric, but I think he is loosing his voice...And that's pretty fucking sad.

[macwild1234]

What built to spill song is that?

[GIMPmanipulated]

Omar did an album with hella? OMFG!

I LOVE HELLA.

Also, props for mentioning Battles. <3

I love Tyondai, too bad he left the band.

[Frantiqe]

@GIMPmanipulated Yep, El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez - Cryptomnesia

[holycydonia]

cedric owes me new pants.

[mrfudgeyhead]

I'm so happy he likes the Lips that much. He always seem so cool in interviews, you want to hang out with him when you see stuff like this.

[ryz1001]

Good choice. Battles!

[Evangelo04]

cedric bangs screw. that's fuckin' tight.

[sourtony82]

THE EVIL LIPS that would be awesome!!

[SuperHardcoreFox1]

his soul patch is irritating

[rudobuquadrant]

@SuperHardcoreFox1  it's irritating your vagina. just kidding. i couldn't help myself.

[linxcor]

They call me Cedric when my hair is undone from a rubber band hah,

i like it. i just need bangs

[Keytap15]

i want hair like cedric.

[bartvsskinner]

Omar's a lefty and that's awesome!

[xBillyTheKidx]

i love what he's talking about at 2:11.

[cordell2311]

He wasn't baked, he just woke up.

[llamaguitarist]

Omar and Cedric plus Hella seems like such a logical combination in my mind...I love Cryptomnesia.

[123nadia456]

cedric drips sex appeal

[CyrusFingColley]

Someone should chop&screw Vermicide...

[linxcor]

im more of a juan alderete girl <333333

haha cedric se caso con una gringa lmao

pero congratuilations better w. someone than no one

[redwinerock]

jaja pinche maricon canta bien chido

[YOUsnozeYOULOZE]

Zach Hill is the shittttttttt

[MrsBixlerZavala]

Correction, cedric is fucking sexy! Yum yum!

[yuffienp]

cedric is mad sexy

[Ben802]

he said something about working with zach hill from hella. does anyone know where i can find any more info on that?

[PabloHdS]

I think he's talking about an album called Cryptomnesia. Google it and you'll find more info :)

[Ben802]

thank you!

[nembutals]

They released the first of three collaboration albums this summer, its called Cryptomnesia by El Grupo Nuevo de Omar Rodriguez Lopez. Its got Omar / Cedric / Juan from TMV and Zach Hill & Jonathan Hitschke from Hella on drums / synth bass. Check it out, its sick.

[echoesbrando]

@ Ben 802, Cryptomnesia by the Omar Rodriguez-Lopez group.

[linxcor]

its from 'cryptomnesia' aint it???

its zach hill and not thomas, for "El Nuevo Grupo De OMRLOPZ"

[buttersworth13]

yep

[epicsix]

Wow, he's really nice and modest. I likey.

[stairwaytoheaven7729]

LOLOLOL i think that last guy was baked

[captsensible23]

when he says he just woke up, really he means, i was just in the bus blazing on

[aussieangie]

Easy going 'n care free. Nice interview.

He's gorgeous !!

[sallyragdoll89]

Oh my god, Cedric is very pretty! I didn't realize before!

[jocam32]

cedric is pretty open here...steve perry jr...

omar has african features??

[GALEfz]

haha very nice guys

[dekmektsis]

OMAR IS A GOD!

[kalimoncho51]

cedric is so handsome

[konorob]

Cedric is awesome. Most singers are so reserved and douchey in interviews.

[OneMinusThree]

I jus seen these guys 4 days ago at cains.Fucking amazing..they were super chill at our show... an cedric complimented our city.

[nameisrobertpaulsen]

Omar sleeps???

I had no idea...

[storageboxinformatio]

omar at 2:20, "heheh! how you doin?"

[boogster123321]

cedric likes battles, sweet

[MsFudgemaster]

"HEEEHEEEEHEEEE" awesome.

[bewaresoutheast]

holy fuck these guys are baked. great interview. did you see omersss eyes? hahaha

[moss85]

this motherfucker is stoned out of his mind

[FallenExpert]

wooooooo, everybody should have hair like he does.

[WolfataDoor]

epic man.

[cbabi333]

he's not stoned it's an informal interview and it's outside. and it's sunny. who wouldn't be happy?

[Grunge00125]

i don't even think he smokes that much. He seems pretty um... idk to say it. Not stoned I guess lol. Then again after years of doing opiates I doubt weed really affects him at all lol. He's really nice in interviews it seems, I'd love to meet him(mars volta and atdi are 2 of my biggest influences XD)

[6Balf9]

@cbabi333 hmmm idk about omar hahah just woke up? suuuure

[monra336]

@cbabi333 Im sure he is anyway ...

[fav13andacdc]

I wonder how long it takes cedric to wash his hair?

[MeowMixKittyKat]

Can't believe he was in such a good mood before the show. He went nuts when he got onstage, was like a totally different person. What a G

[SPARTA2]

conventional wisdom

[julesath]

i always hear they are pretentious douchebags but they seem so nice!

[julesath]

yeah i saw them live for the first time a couple of days ago and i think you're right. cedric acted very arrogant and insulted the crowd. omar didn't say a word. great show though...

[MPrint666]

You have to be that way to a point to even wanna be a lead singer. However he seems to just not waste his time on being polite to people who aren't worth his time. Who really gives a fuck about his personality unless you're actually friends with him? I like their music and it pretty much ends with that. Anyone trying to take it further is just sad and part of the media herd who follow you around wanting to know who you're dating and what you had for breakfast. Fucking lame dude

[TheBestShortwave]

why did i get so many thumbs down on this comment? you have to agree that i'm right. omar IS way cooler.

[yeahfontaine]

No, not the talk show. The Gorge at George has the most amazing fucking view you will EVER see while watching a show. Look for a pic but until you go, you just won't understand. I feel proud that he'd never been and woke up that amazing sight. Must've been inspirational 'cause that show fucking rocked.

[tututututi]

maaaan, the mars volta is awesome. Im glad they always keep on working rather than slacking off like other bands do

[SimonRamone1]

mars volta rules

[SimonRamone1]

battles

[Antom1234]

Does Omar say he woke up to the view? As in that talk show with old ladys? hhaha

[deathrockunion]

built to spill

[macwild1234]

what did he say was in the background at :14?

[suzettegm]

lovely hairdo!

[ZeppelinFan122]

Has that thing they were talking about with the drummer from Hella come out yet?

[LouisGilbrook]

May 5th

[vegadomis32988]

fuck yeah the flmaing lips own!!

the bubble was funny shit too

MIA is sick too total gangsta

but the mars volta r awesome

[Rauffle]

they both looked like they were on something

[pageseventyfive]

there are so many weird connections between them and led zeppelin

[PlasticStraw]

Is the Omar and Zach Hill CD out yet, that sounds great!

[ZapataTheMute]

Leaked yesterday.

[PlasticStraw]

Do you know what it is called, I couldn't find it anywhere?

[snehesten]

oh man that hair, what is that thing

baggy afro?

[obdandzigzag]

haha. exactly

[irrabmaralekim]

yeah there's the up-fro, and the down-fro, which are both equally cool.

[mojoandpolly]

gosh he is so attractive.

[konu123]

i think the remix album is scabdates. its this album they made while they were on tour.

[saturdaypunk]

Not remixes. Scabdates was a live album.

[Ancaja123]

i want this remix album

[miaht82]

haha Cedric likes screw music..

[amarezero]

Typical TMV. Cedric speaks for five minutes, Omar speaks for thirty seconds. I love those guys

[retina555]

Cedric looks so good so health thank God he quit taking drugs ... At The Drive-In rebirth... maybe someday :D

[RossMongar]

cedcric and omar are like mccartney and lennon, except way better, these guys are gods in music.

[yutub666]

nop, ha, they are more like Page and Plant.

[ododbobo]

no, i guess they are more like omar and cedric in a way

[24jumbleman]

i agree with cedric and the interviewer..M.I.A. blew that place up!

[cobian2006]

did he say omar was gonna start a project with the drummer from hella? correct me if im wrong

[Saidso17]

Yes, yes you did. Should be in freaking tense. He is one hell of a good drummer.

[verdenodela1]

Anyone know what Built to Spill song is playing?

[achilles2390]

Conventional Wisdom

[damunda]

theyre soo cute

[elllobabeh]

omartito is a typo that still can work

:)

[tootiekorps]

I again, reissue the question, you lazy motherduckers- What was the band playing in the background at that moment?

[gypsyeyes008]

i think cedric said it was built to spill

[TheMaculatePrime]

They are in their element. You know the phrase out of your element.

[tootiekorps]

i mean, in front of you-LOLLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLLOLOLOLO­LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL

[elllobabeh]

Woah! LOLOL?! no way!

Cedricito y Omartito, stop.... the things you do to a girl who is on her period is staggering.

[buulto]

*Omarcito

[tootiekorps]

what band was playing at the background at the moment of the interview? they sounded kickass!

Happy cedric it's gonna shine b4 u, kidz

[jevrald]

i think its acid mothers temple - pink lady lemonade

[Sireni4]

Nunca habia visto a Cedric tan feliz e___e

He is totally cute <3

[neifilley]

que felices :D

[gardeniaaa]

este tipo me supera... no puede ser mas exquisito... incluso con su pelo que pareciese tener vida propia.

yumi yumi

[beatrix716]

Bix needs to get high and do interviews more often. It's nice to see him all giggly. Usually he is so uptight during interviews.

[gtralisfr69]

He's not tired he's stoned out of his mind

[Ceraziefish]

homeboy is STONED

[gardeniaaa]

i don't think he's stoned, maybe he's just happy and trying to be nice... in case you don't know, the interviewer in this video is the bassist of Gang of Four, so he's not talking with the average stupid fan or the average stupid interviewer...

[thomasnerheim]

omar tired much? haha, love those guys :)

[Lameeeee]

all time favorite ever ever never ever

[iwillmaceyou]

whoa, omar and zach hill? that might be interesting if omar gets his head out of his ass.

[iibaphometii]

a good mood from cedric. haha nice

[sucramnormark]

His hair looks terrible.

[GuillotineCancer]

Aw, he's in such a good mood. :)

[jevrald]

Cant wait for that omar and zach hill split.. sounds like Acid Mothers Temple playing in the background.

[trastuspasos]

cada vez mas lindo cedric!!! por dios...no lo puedo dejar de mirar>!!!!! jajajajajajaj

ojala que no vengan para argentina por que lo agarramos con mi cuñada y lo partimos en 40 pedazoz de lo bueno que esta!!!!jajajajajajajajajaja

[CerpinTaxt1983]

[Dethkateer]

One last question:...you want to take of your shirt and makeout?

[katxup]

[hangoverparadise]

zach hill + omar rodriguez = holy eff i'm probably gonna crap

[armedelmo]

Hella FTW!

[trastuspasos]

q bueno q esta este tipo loco!!! jajaj

[graphitemonkey21]

cedric looks so funny when he laughs "heehee heee"

[xbridgette]

this is what i like to see.

usually, the interviewer asks the same forced questions and basically interrogates them. "why do you do this, why do you do that, etc"

This is just a cool little chat. :]

[soniafxinghalo]

True! :)

[chrisdawg002]

OMFG zach hill and omar and cedric

holy shit

i cant wait

zach hill is my favorite drummer

[kenziegunn]

holy shit! My thoughts exactly. Every time they do something they leave me pumped as hell for what they're going to do next.

[xbridgette]

agreed :)

[TheCelticDrummer]

the mars volta is amazing you asshole, they are the only good band right now.

[Thewilltodeath576]

i agree with u there the best band nowadays
