The Mars Volta - Drunkship of Lanterns

[fluffysnakeful]

best song ever? yeah.

[MrBeaner125]

I thought Frusciante (former Red Hot Chili Peppers guitarist) did the guitar work on this song?

[that1facester]

@MrBeaner125 frusciante only helped out on cicatriz esp for this album. he does play quite a bit though on frances the mute and amputechture. if you listen you can actually tell when it's him or omar playing. frusciante's parts are more fluid and somewhat bluesy sounding, while omar's are much more spastic and frenetic. the two of them together are just fucking amazing!

[Ezzwuz]

Simplemente hermoso.

[Mr331Awesome]

I personally think a lot of people underestimate Omar Rodriguez Lopez's ability as a guitarist. Hes without a doubt one of the best right now.

[zubieta]

IMMA CHARGING MAH LANTERN!

[UMAD707]

Flea playin bass FTW!

[pidrgu]

Why is this the only song that has an ad out of this whole album?

[sevecarpileup]

@pidrgu Most likely because its considered to be the most "popular" due to the fact it was named 91 out of the best 100 guitar songs by the rolling stone magazine. Though, that would be my guess.

[jvsmith77]

@pidrgu So does Circatriz ESP

[BabelFishMr]

Anyone know what he's saying at 1:30 in the background?

[Shanobi219]

DE-LOUSED WAS A BANGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THE MARS VOLTA GREATEST BAND RIGHT NOW JUST SAYING.....

[distorm]

4:22 "ELEPHANT F*CK YEAH!" =D

[chinguidinsky]

Try this song while driving down the freeway, at night, in a storm, it was an amazing experience.

[gudjonsveins]

no idea why, but his singing reminds me of Björk at times...

[reservoirdog1]

@gudjonsveins cedric is very influenced by her, check tmv cover of "birthday"

[gudjonsveins]

@reservoirdog1 hehe ok, had to be ;)

[ThePsychGreen]

FUCK YOU ADS! I JUST WANT TO LISTEN TO MY FAVORITE BAND EVER. :c

[Bulldog22031]

I miss Jon Theodore

[FinalBossPwner]

This is a prime example of a song being better when you don't know the structure of it.

It's pure fuckin' chaos.

[SteelSnarf]

i wish people who uploaded full albums on here wouldn't be youtube partners so i could avoid commercials >.>

oh well this music's just too damn good to care!

[ezequielespindola35]

Que bueno que es mierda

[Pkells94]

For drummers having trouble learning Jon's killer drum pattern on the chorus of Eriatarka....6:38. Your Welcome XD.

[baldymort10]

anyone who likes these guys should definitely check out closure in moscow. pretty similar style.

[420cheto]

[Petaks22]

[Brentaxe]

[pdrums777]

@Brentaxe haahahahaaa :D

[ericscollar]

Tool, Mastodon,and the MV enlightening my dark world......

[Ajepson2]

@ericscollar Same here. Three bands i can no longer live without.

[steaks14]

In it's own way, Mars Volta reminds me of Tool... Every song it's not just a song ^^

[Alexdanza129]

@steaks14

its his voice. This was the first song i heard from tMV and at 0:32 - 1:37 the first thing i thought was... "This reminds me of Tool" great band 

[gardenofskeetn]

this song was named the 91st best guitar song of all time by rolling stone magazine. thats fuckin dank

[Supaduck0]

@gardenofskeetn not to discredit what was a funny and good comment, but rolling stone magazine sucks BALLS now. they were good in the 60s when they didnt have to pretend the mainstream was good (cuz it was) but now they're acting like the jonas brothers and 50 cent are groundbreaking genius. fuck rolling stone

[gardenofskeetn]

@Supaduck0 well in that case, fuck rolling stone, and this is still the 91st best guitar song of all time...who said so? we did.

[gardenofskeetn]

make that 90th

[JFMatador]

@gardenofskeetn  dank?

[rollerblaker]

@gardenofskeetn whatever that means

[rmed30]

@gardenofskeetn : Rolling stone can go fuck themselves! John Mayer was probably number 1

[Aitsu58]

@FunemploymentCrew

LSD ? No, not really. Opiates.

[Azraelmaximilian]

@Aitsu58 Opiates, acid, & weed

[pigsfood27]

@Aitsu58 i used to like psychedelics, but after a while, all of the insanity kinda gets old and takes a toll... thank God for creating the poppy flower.

[SpartanLaserCanon]

@Aitsu58 Whats that like compared to LSD?

[fluffysnakeful]

@SpartanLaserCanon better.

[FunemploymentCrew]

from what i understand, these people's brains were preserved in LSD for most of the 2000's

[stringz311]

Perfect Quality

[manco82]

This is truly amazing stuff.

[RandomShortsMedia]

I didn't really want to listen to this band, i dont really care for alternative but.. when i heard FLEA was in it I had to check it out. It was worth it.

[glowsticx]

@RandomShortsMedia

is he really?!

i didn't know that....

[warwick5string]

The whole album is pretty sick flea really brought the bass to life on it. And Omar is all around the shit

[JeremyOrOmega]

Lol at the backwards lyrics. Great song.

[GreenBatman93]

This is truly the new age of modern rock, all of this music, arranged so delicately, it's so amazing.

[alibulali]

mmmhm!

[manco82]

@GreenBatman93 It's a unique sound in rock for sure.
