The Mars Volta - Eat the Sun

[nintendoor1]

its obvious that this is just a slowed down slightly different version of cicatriz esp

[ChristBurner]

oh man this is awesome when i come around is my favorite mars volta song

[WarwickBlood777]

What a bunch of faggots all of you are.

[drosera88]

Hide yo 'reeferchicks' and yo 'warwickboods' cause everyone's gettin' mad in these comments.

[rabaku99]

Actually this is the demo for Cicatriz ESP recorded in 2001, and it was titled Cicatrix at the time. It was one of the earliest Mars Volta Recordings, and was one of the only songs that included drummer Blake Fleming (besides the first demo for Roulette Dares). This song and the first demo for Roulette Dares are the earliest Mars Volta recordings

[WarwickBlood777]

Haha. Wow every single one of you is literaly saying "You're fuckin' stupid" , "No you're fuckin' stupid"

Actualy you're all "Fuckin' stupid'

Just shut the fuck up. Youre all broken record carring on some stupid ass conversation that has nothing to shit.

JUST LISTEN TO THE FUCKING SONG. JESUS FUCKING CHRIST.

[MrBallersix0]

@WarwickBlood777 chill out, Jabroni.

[jtasgl88]

This is cicatriz esp. not Eat the Sun

[rynostronghorn]

[rsilverwood]

the sound quality is terrible. good song

[xXThatMexicanGuyXx]

Shroomz and this song go hand in had :D Im surpriesed I'm seein shit yet. Wait... There it is

[NizzBomb69]

@xXThatMexicanGuyXx you suck at lying to the internet

[treflippunk]

This version is so much better imo.

[JeremyOrOmega]

An alternate version of my favorite song, and it isn't bad at all.

I'm impressed, I usually hate alts.

[Alos21]

pretentious nonsense

[CrispyXR]

Its the demo of Cicatriz, they just changed the name of it to Cicatriz when they released it ;)

[andersnooky]

This IS NOT (!) Eat the Sun. Although Eat the Sun is a real TMV tune, only heard it live though but it's fuckin sweet. Disappointed.

[gibsonthekiller]

@kangaSHROOM its cicatriz. or atleast a demo of it.

[KangaSHROOM]

this is televators

[TheReeferchick]

Fkn LOve The Mars Volta loved them before in AT THE DRIVE IN .... amaziing artist Omar and Cedrik. love em ....!!!!!!!

[L0055ER]

@TheReeferchick lol hipster (:

[thedarkandmysterious]

@TheReeferchick there was no tmv before atdi

[TheReeferchick]

@thedarkandmysterious r u fucking stupid learn how to read before u say ur stupid shit. i said i liked then before IN at the drive in u fucking retard no shit at the drive in ws before the mars volta find sumthing better to do with ur time tha to log on to youtube only to reply to peoples comments.. fucking LOSER.



[frylock2314]

@TheReeferchick How about you learn how to spell and use correct grammar before you insult somebody like that. And don't give me that "oh, it's just a comment on youtube, I don't have to try and look smart" bullshit. It's not that fucking hard.

[TheReeferchick]

@frylock2314 fuk off u fucking looser get a life ... find sum thing better to do than to reply to comment.. fuking retards.. ugh jst get over it ..btw go fuk ur self

[hallelujah138]

FACT: The name of the song is FALSE.

[mnowland13]

hahahahaha and smoke the dislikes like a nicely lit blunt full of amputechture we will........ ahhhhh thats nice

[thecerp1ntaxt]

this song is called State Your Preferance or, Cicatrix not eat the sun, i got excited thought it was something I didn't know about lol guess not

[fligthoficarus]

one of my favorites songs ever thx ,  the mars volta

[Osteoporozis]

What makes TMV special to this day is that they try new things and never went mainstream. Even their biggest hits are not known to many.

All the better for us, I suppose; I'm sure Cedric and Omar are having no financial troubles right now, so the pop artists who have always come out on top of the charts may as well stay there.

[KillerRhoy]

yeah, mars volta forever

[beezeepleezee69]

@SubliminalWars ok sir, tis good riddance. bitch.

[k0stil]

the chorus in the album version are better

[beezeepleezee69]

death metal shits on mars volta

[Dominic078]

@beezeepleezee69 lmao

[sansdeity420]

@beezeepleezee69 LOL death metal is fucking gay, kill yourself with a dick

[msmegamonster11]

i wud like to thank the assholes who disliked this song for making the "like/dislike " bar look like a nicely lit blunt.

[wulf2001]

@msmegamonster11 u must smoke some thin blunts...

[MsWillange]

@wulf2001 I think he smokes virginia slims.

[RicochetKing2113]

PLEASE, SOMEBODY! A LINK TO DOWNLOAD ALL THIS!!!

[vampy2015]

this is art. ♥

[Kraized]

I find myself constantly defining words I've already defined. Why can't I find people that are willing to use words when speaking, to me or anyone else, cause It really gets annoying when people judge me for using words. Here's a weird tangent, does anyone know any atheist towns, I wanna move there in hopes that I'd feel at home.

[xGlydenx]

The right one in the picture looks like Hank Hill... Strickland Propane.

[iamxray1256]

Okay, so I've known this band has been around for YEARS, but I never properly listened to them. I am now just going through all their songs I can find and listening to them, and I am just in awe that I have never given this band a second thought. Holy shit, they're so great. Aghhhhhh.

[SuperTrancend]

~oh boo hoo *crys* why does popular music suck oh woe as me what ever will i do????

~learn an instrument?

~ FUCK THAT LOL

~ XD

~ bitches online

[assasin990]

@SuperTrancend hahaha agree

[Parkerkun]

@SuperTrancend What the fuck is your problem?

[Redeemedsinner17]

Why does the chorus sound like Cedric's singing "Take your pants off, I've defected" xD that doesnt sound The Mars Volta-ish

[XgobiX]

@Redeemedsinner17 Lol he says "Drag your vessel."

[marsvolta32]

I missed atdi!! I love that song.... I like the consept at all!!! Keep on mv

[RawGnar]

Sorta sounds like Cicatriz e.s.p performed by At the Drive-in

[Hannibalonthejazz]

@RawGnar Cicatriz ESP was on the the first full-length Mars Volta album

[capyxx04]

isn´t this inertiatric esp just slowed down??

[fintonomalley]

@capyxx04 no its a demo for cicatriz ESP. on a sidenote, i quote here from clauclaux "this is not music retard",

clauclaux you are quite clearly the retarded one if you think music is one particular thing and indeed do not recognise this as music. im a musician, a now signed and paid one at that, id imagine from the way youre going on youre a kid that cant even play chess, let alone music. oh and also, i have a beard, not sure what your point is with that but it seems important to you.

[jimih64]

@capyxx04 Cicatriz ESP slowed down. Some kind of crazy demo or practice mix I would guess.

[MrBungle85]

Ha, I remember when the Deloused Demos surfaced and this track being titled Eat The Sun. Totally forgot about that!

[F1ghtC1ty]

4 people now have no fingers when i find them.. lol

[magicbag6790]

Omar said before deloused was released. that when MV started playing this song live. fans nicknamed it "Eat the Sun....or somethin"

[reyl]

-_-"""

[IrelevantLives4U]

Sounds like a tripped up version of old school Deftones. Brilliant.

[meccaollielord]

@IrelevantLives4U No, it doesn't.

[IrelevantLives4U]

@meccaollielord Yes...it does.

[Rockdrigo0]

@IrelevantLives4U It doesnt.

[IrelevantLives4U]

@Rockdrigo0 It does.

[Rockdrigo0]

@IrelevantLives4U Lol fine.

[hcarvalhoalves]

This shit is fucked up. Love it.

[MrDerfus]

Dude, this is Cicatriz, not Eat the Sun. They have no such song.

[hovzio]

@MrDerfus This is a demo for cicatziz, fans have dubbed it eat the sun:)

[CoheedAtThe930]

im POSITIVE i was the only one outta my friends in high school (2004) listening to this shit.....it unlocked so many doors in my mind...pretty much the only way to describe it

[BuckNasty128]

This is just a shorter and more distorted version of cicatriz

[radshad02]

people probably started calling this song eat the sun because that's a phrase for taking acid...and this song is one hell of a trip.

[TheCr0wing]

@radshad02 im trailing

[italianstal1ion]

Eww sounds like Blake Fleming. Definitely not Jon Theodore.

[itsSAMWICHbetch]

:( i can't find this on itunes.

[pearljam227]

why does todays "popular" music suck so bad compared to this stuff?

and why do fake little sissies make all the money while real artists are making real MUSIC.

[RAYZE1ER]

@pearljam227 why ask why , try bud dry

[echoesbrando]

@pearljam227 because the real artists don't care about the money.

[tanvo93]

@pearljam227 my one and only answer..capitalism

[jpweezy1]

@pearljam227 the thing is, if you did give good bands all the money they would sell out and suck just as bad as nickleback. So it's probably better they don't make any money. Point and case = Kings of Leon.

[ImaFez]

@pearljam227 because the real artists r making music they love while the "popular" artists r making music other ppl love.

[clauclaux]

@pearljam227 this is not music retard....its some notes in a raw....popular music is not music neither....you will grow beard until you will find what real music is

real music is payed too btw

fuck you sir

[RecordsRolling]

clauclaux music is made of some notes...popular music is not popular until deemed so or until you actually hear of it. So, something becomes popular and ceases to be music? Also, raw and popular are two terms youve put too close together for description more worthy of say trendy bubble gum shit and the music played by mars volta has its own formula of sorts but reinvents or reintroduces elements among many, esp. Santana. What sounds do you consider real music?

[linseng123]

@pearljam227 It has to be that way brother. Real artists don't want to make millions of dollars, they just wanna create great music for all of us. Awfully awesome of them!

[salmonphatshoes]

@pearljam227 Popular music sucks so bad because theyre only making music for the money not for the music. so therefore popular music doesnt use any creativity just whatever they think will sell. Mars volta on the other hand makes music for the music not for the money. So they can be creative and strange of they want to. Because they dont care about making money as much as popular artists. And as for why all the fake little sissis that get money i think its just because this generatiion sucks :)

[Kraized]

@pearljam227 This is a long shot but, I'm guessing that people that aren't Disney material aren't noticed by controlling parents

[centsamilia]

@pearljam227

great band im sure they make more money than you or i ya dolt

[keaton223]

@pearljam227 because SELLING art defeats the purpose.

[EasyRiderRomar]

@pearljam227

because teenage girls rule populair music, they are the easiest to be influence,so big companies who want to make money of music, aim at them

[daviddestruktionxtc]

@pearljam227 who like fuckin Drake? fuck him ill kill tht fuckboy and Eminem

[icirum]

still scalping these ticketless applause

[khessemer08]

first mars volta song I heard back in 2003

[RufoTamales]

@khessemer08 mine was rouletedares, then this one, great times!

[adictpunk88]

name probably was made up just so it could be put up on lime wire or some shit

[spaghettiandlettuce]

dis sounds cool!!!

[iPodpepper]

this is a version of cicatriz esp that was on one of their european EPs im pretty sure.

[vsallyeah]

i'm searching the lirycs of this song... anyone can help me? thanks u ....

[LorcaAdonai]

listen everyone,im the authority on this subject matter: eat the sun is a complete conception of some creative fans, and the mars Volta have no idea how the fuck it came about.....

[atdi71]

so are u saying that this version was made up of tmv fans?

[LorcaAdonai]

no, i'm saying fans started calling this song eat the sun, and omar himself has stated that he has no idea how the fuck that came about.

[ifeeltall93]

@LorcaAdonai what's the real name??

[XIIIX]

@ifeeltall93 The song is Cicatriz ESP from Deloused at least the version released on an album..

[BobDoleNSatanRmyniGz]

@LorcaAdonai Have you ever seen the golden guy on the plate with the fucking sun shooting out of his mouth?

[RoCk4LiFe90]

@LorcaAdonai I think if I was on LSD I would start calling the song that haha, kickass song.

[SuPRchOklat]

i think i actually like this version more than cicatriz esp

[pearljam227]

@SuPRchOklat me too. especially the chorus part with the vocal effects

[rainbowgirllove]

i just heard it and i tough they musta confused it with cicatrix and the sound is awful! all ripely

but nooo i was wrong

still sounds awsome ^^

[pepe7drum]

i was so stoned when i first heard this song, but now it sounds very different! slower and the voice has a tremolo effect.. Do I need to get high once again to have the same effect? or there is another longer and more complete version?

[blabalkan]

u probably heard a different version i think its cicatriz

[pepe7drum]

yeah man it was cicatriz, do you know were can i download the album?

[blabalkan]

Here in Croatia i can download it from a whole range of sites, mininova, bittorrent, iso hunt.... we don't have any restrictions for illegal downloads so i really cannot say

[TehMarche]

Can you upload the demo of Cotopaxi? Many thanks.

[wackyluke444]

I think I will upload the entire new album (This is my (Prophetofthemoons) other account.

[TheMasterNull]

To the guy who said he just slowed down Cicatriz ESP: Then how are the voice effect different?

[flemingmras]

I just had a chat with Eva Gardner this evening and learned that this is in fact the demo for Cicatriz ESP. Also, she is in fact the one who wrote the Cicatriz bassline and she is the one playing it on this demo as well.

[macwild1234]

Where did you talk to her?

[purodemarihuana]

the name of this song is cicatrix ! dumb !

[ieroscarpet]

@purodemarihuana

no you've got the name wrong. it's probably the earlier version of cicatriz

[ilike2live]

no im pretty sure its slowed down......oh wait i guess just the verse parts are slowed down

[stratocastermaster2]

i thought it was called "state your preference"?

[ravenousESP]

i swear in this song i can hear him say the words Cedric's song

[skynyrdo]

When?

[ravenousESP]

during 2:00 to 2:03, although after listening to it more attentively it sounds like he says Cedric's pain

[hui43210]

um this a Cicatriz esp demo. its not called eat the sun that is what fans called it. omar said he had no idea where the fuck they got it from.

[jerrypl]

it wasn't Intertiatic ESP, it was Cicatriz ESP.

I think Eat the Sun was bonus to De-Loused...,

but it is first version of Cicatriz.
