  • it sounds like where at the drive in left off with "relationship of command"

  • Sparta is great but ATDI is playing at Coachella this year !!

  • Jim Ward and Sparta RULE!

  • Hoping Jim and the guys make it to Florida I know my ex Jamie would love to see them as would I.

  • This is madness...

  • LAME

  • Sleepercar!!!

    

  • DAIVD

  • talent

  • fuckin amazing!! FUCKIN AMAZING!!!!

  • I just listened to the studio version of this song, and like every other Sparta song I'd heard, it bored me.

    But this is good, the live version. I think I may like this band better listening to live songs.

  • no me extraña que Omar y Cedric mandaran a estos maricones a tomar por culo,vayaa tela que malos que son joder!!la entonación que le da a la canción esta mas trillada y mas pasada que el conejo de xixolina....

  • Got my tickets for the Nov. 18th show right here in Hell Paso!!!! Word is they'll be filming both shows for a live dvd to be released sometime in the near future: )

  • I love the ATDI feel to this song. inb4 "yeah they are the former ATDI members." I know this. I've actually never listened to them before but I'm going to get their albums now.

  • guys are but the lead singer reminds me of keith murray

  • VOTE

  • if you lived in el paso youd see jim ward around everywhere. ive seen him more than once at local shows

  • I'd like to see em with The Mars Volta and have them end with ATF set

  • oh yeah this song is what i was looking for. great

  • god jim is such a good singer

  • Sparta's getting back together??!!!111111 

  • @TexasRho83 Yes, they're playing a reunion show in El Paso and will record their 4th album this winter.

  • Nice voice

  • I love this song.

  • Sparta is getting back together and playing a live show on November 17th in El Paso, Texas!

  • @ArmenianProductions 4th LP in the works! I've been waiting for so long! Yay!

  • @ArmenianProductions so Sparta can get thier shit together but At The Drive-In can't? How sad :( Do you know if there's any chance of a At The Drive-In reunion soon?

  • @pinkpop91764 There's no chance of that. It ended on bad terms, and Omar & Cedric have moved on with Mars Volta

  • @ArmenianProductions Im actually pretty sure they resolved whatever issues they had with each other, but I still really doubt it would happen because Omar and Cedric have been going in a really different direction musically which was supposely one of the reason they started fighting

  • @SuperRandomLetters Omar and Cedric were tired of being confined to a punk band. They wanted to change and make more progressive music. There is no chance of an ATD reunion. Omar said that it'd be like "getting back together with your high school girlfriend". It'd be a waste of their talent and time.

  • @ArmenianProductions Actually, Cedric and Omar are becoming more and more conventional as time progresses :/ if you hear some of their latest interviews they keep refering themselves as a pop band and such. I hope their next album puts my anxiety to rest </3 'cause I'm scared we'll lose the Volta

  • @Redeemedsinner17

    your so right

  • @Redeemedsinner17 I know what you mean, I feel the same, but Omar has always said that the next album was ready since a long time, so even with less musicians and without Pridgen it will still rocks !! Mars Volta will always be different and great

  • @ArmenianProductions Looks like there was a 100% chance, considering today's news of the reunion. Pop the cork.

  • Great Live!

    

  • I'm sleepy :3

  • Sick opening for incubus in 2004!

  • @JesusgavemeHolySpiri i would rather pray to joy division

  • @taylorbortnerathing I'm sure you would... but I tell you the truth, its not about belief in God, its about hoping, not believing, that AS you read the New Testament alone in your room, that GOD will give you the Living Water if you ask in Jesus name to be given it.. .a new Spirit.. one that is at peace... three weeks of reading and asking and HE came through... simple as that.. peace. NO CHURCH, nothing.. alone in your room.. Later man. >>>> watch?v=sTS92pwMK00

  • @JesusgavemeHolySpiri how did religion get brought up on a video with sparta in it?

  • @SourceofSound I leave the Lord's name in my comments... Be Blessed in Jesus.

  • @JesusgavemeHolySpiri oh i see. so why are you preaching about god on a music video's page?

  • @SourceofSound I suppose God created music and He was on my mind at that moment. How's life then, let's talk about life. Although God created it as well. My preaching is short: if you want to literally connect to God and receive a gift called the "Living Water" -- its basically the most supernatural, loving, awesome part of life most don't know about for some reason... You got a few weeks to change your life and afterlife? God hidden is temporary, then HE will break through as will you...

  • @JesusgavemeHolySpiri why only a few weeks? is the end nigh?

  • @SourceofSound i give Him each second now, initially that is, if one asks for a new Spirit, to be One with God, not want that barrier between man and God while fasting from pleasure, then God will give the 'bursting' out of the belly' of the Living Water Jesus spoke of in John

    • John 7:38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his BELLY shall flow rivers of Living Water!"

    • Luke 17:21 ' because the kingdom of God is within you."

  • @JesusgavemeHolySpiri Yawn....

  • @JesusgavemeHolySpiri lol wut?

  • @PullpinVa Basically God is real and ready to prove it to you if you do this ONE thing for a few weeks, are you game?

  • I miss this band so much, They are the best band live i have ever seen, these guys know how to make and play great music, i just don`t get for the life of me how some shitty bands go main stream but good bands like Sparta, Choke, Thursday who make great music and play amazing live shows can never break in.

    I really hope Jim gets the band back together for a tour and a new album

  • It is really amazing how well they play live. Talk about a band that sounds produced, but is really just that talented.

  • 23 people need to listen to better music

  • first time ive heard them and they are EPIC!!!!!!!

  • they play it peffect

  • THIS IS MADNESS!!

    O wait don't mind me,wrong video.

  • I can watch this all day long! Paul rules that guitar.

  • Jim Ward! Get this band back together now!

  • singer's got a great voice 

  • This is the only Sparta song I like...but it's so good.

  • crazy ass time signatures

  • at the drive-in is better than both.

  • mars volta are heaps cooler than these guys!!

  • I feel like Sparta is a calmed-down version of what ATDI would have been, and The Mars Volta is a completely different type of crazy-awesome. Both bands are great :)

  • This is Sparta !!!!

  • I dont know why, but for some reason i cannot get enough of this band!

  • @mineav your an idiot. Sparta, Mars Volta, and AtDi are all great bands. Stop acting like a 15 year old pretentious high schoolers and grow up. Thanks foe th upload! Great live here.

  • given the context, The Mars Volta are the most disappointing band of all time

  • @GrandAlbo Agreed. By far the most pretentious band out there today. Cedric couldn't carry a tune live if his life depended on it, and Omar is a very average guitarist. Who do you think did most of the studio guitar work on all Mars Volta albums, right from the start? John Frusciante, not fucking Omar.

  • I dont mean to be nasty or anything, beacause Jim is awesome, and was what made ATD-I brilliant and not just pretentious, but this is a bit disappointing. I mean, I'ts alright, but just alright. Better than 98% of music though.

  • Sparta is superb

  • How does no-one seem to realise that Jim Ward is what made ATDI so fucking good? Take him away and what have you got? 2 afro toting drug munching retards jumping around screaming, completely unable to play anything other than boring fret wankery on poorly tuned guitars.

  • @urmumsbaps ...live

  • @urmumsbaps Because Jim Ward has almost nothing to do with At The Drive-in being good.

  • @Floydthefuckbag yeah he does

    Explain the back ups on One Armed Scissor

    Hourglass was an awesome song

    He did a great job on Non-Zero Possibility

    Fact is, without Jim, ATDI'd be missng something

  • @urmumsbaps

    hey, idiot, you're thinking of jeremy ward

  • I don't know what all the fuss is about. Jim Ward made some good albums whereras TMV made a bunch of albums I don't understand. Call me old fashioned, but I thought good music was supposed to not sound like crap. That's all I've heard since ATDI broke up have been Sparta, Sleepercar, or just Jim Ward. Then every once in a while, TMV puts out something that some people would consider to be really awesome because of it's technical nature, when in fact, it's just jumbled garbage.

  • This Video Is AWESOME!!!! i'm totally subscribing! please check out my video about Gerard Butler!

  • he looks so young like when he was in At the drive in

    but he's a really cool guy he owns a club ova here in el paso you could always talk to him there but yeah SPARTA FTW!!!!!

    (For the win) :P

  • I didnt know they were called Sssparta

  • And then you click mars Volta shreds on letterman and you laugh till you piss your pants! Omar rodriguez is fucking untouchable!

  • YOU SAY IT'S NOT OK!

  • I don't know, this isn't bad, but then you click on Wax Simulacra performed on Letterman and you're like......wow.......

  • why does david letterman get all the good bands on the show?

  • 'Porcelain'--one of the most under rated albums of our time.

  • @Mineav Yes! Thank you. I bought that album the day it came out, really a great piece of work. I've tried to pass it on to anyone who likes good rock.

  • @Mineav hmmm Wiretap Scars is perhaps the best rock album of this century!! Porcelain is "ok" but it is no where close to the beauty that is Wiretap!

  • holy shit. all this time I thought Jim Ward and Jeremy Michael Ward where the same person and that he had passed away 8 years ago! I just thought Jeremy went by Jim for short sometimes . And then I see that someone here posted a comment 9 months ago saying they see 'Jim' around town, I just though WHAT THE HELL?? Now I know, of course (after researching), that Jim Ward is Jeremy's still-living cousin.

    RIP Jeremy, my respects to you.

  • I'm starting to OD a little bit on all of these Cedric/Omar fanboys. ATDI was way better than anything TMV can be. Sparta is just awesome, and Sleepercar is worth a listen. West Texas is probably one of the best albums I've heard as of lately.

  • Don't have the energy of Omar and Cedric

    I'ts nice but kind of boring

  • @stix4u77 That's not the point dude. Not every band in the entire world can be a spaz-fest. You need music like sparta in order for the mars volta to be "different and unique". For what sparta does, they do it well.

    Basically, if every band pushed creativity and skill to the limit, they'd all sound like The Locust, or Psyopus.

  • Fuck ! Give em back their trailer!

  • Ahhhhhhhh a flood of memories are coming to me.

  • Please, this is really important. Written by Jim Ward, extracted from Sleepercar's website:

    "our trailer was stolen in san antonio saturday morning and we lost a huge amount of gear. would everyone please keep an eye out for our stuff and if you see it please let us know- "

    Check out his website for more details. I'm posting this comment on many Sparta and Sleepercar's videos in here to help him.

  • These guys don't sound half bad, but I gotta say, I can't blame Cedric and Omar for leaving them. It's just not their type of music lol, and I support them for leaving. The Mars Volta is one of the most experienced (if not THE most experienced) band currently playing. This stuff is good, but it just sounds like I've heard it from somewhere else.

  • sounds great live. 

  • LOL Jim Ward sounds like Tim Ward.

  • A questão não é o sparta ser uma banda mediana.. o negocio é a sombra que o marsvolta causa !

  • The comments are way out of focus

    This isn't ATDI

    This isn't TMV

    No

    THIS IS SPARTA

  • @canesrule96 fuck your comment :p

  • @canesrule96 and this is shit

  • @canesrule96 I don't know why people try to say one is better than the other. All 3 bands are amazing.

  • @MARKWAITES personal preference

    

  • @canesrule96 People need to stop hating on Jim

  • At the drive-in still takes the throne

    sparta fucking rocks, what are you idiots talking about?

    the mars volta is so boring imo

  • @obeydot musically, spart or atdi arnt on the same level with volta, theyre all awesome, but only one is evolving and trying new things,

  • @clipcalhoon it doesnt need to evolve its good the newer music seems to be trending to alt country and acoustic or death metal no more of just good rock... kinda sucks ay?

  • i want ATDI back.

  • hmmm Im a big ATDI fan and also TMV fan but it appears like SPARTA sucks anus.

  • @stdavross666 AGREED

  • i like his voice.i always have.i like sparta,pure simple post hard core stuff igrew up on.i dont like math,wetting the bed,starwars novels,yellow paper,his hair[creeps me out]or white belts.

  • sounds like early cursive.

    if they were less indie.

  • paul still moves the same with a guitar haha

  • Great voice. 

  • Is that the bass player of ATDI playing a guitar? Huh?

  • is it me or does he kinda look like a baldwin.. :)

  • TMV i cant deal with them cause cedric puts way to much effects in his voice, i prefer his natural voice.

  • both sparta and the mars volta are great bands, but god, i wish they'd reunite ATDI >_>, just one tiny european tour

  • Crazy thick bass

  • omar and cedric are douch bags

  • @denny383 who are currently bigger and still together.

  • i play this song...

  • we want a new Sparta album!

  • i used to hate sparta, and now i'm wondering.."wtf is wrong with me? they're pretty cool!"

  • Very very very Good punk rock song !!!

  • @Armopaxi Fair enough. They're just poppy compared to ATDI lol

  • Im actually really loving sleepercar at the momment although alot slower def worth checking out..

  • 1. The Mars Volta

    2. At The Drive-In

    3. Sparta

    4. De Facto

  • @Krowtower dude zechs marquise shuld totally be 3rd man....well that's my opinion

  • I WANT MY

    SPARTA BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Blah generic and boring, just another pop-punk band. Nothing compared to what Omar and Cedric do.

  • Sparta is the best thing to come out of ATDI

  • Jim Ward should be really proud of the first few songs on Porcelain. They're just as good, if not better, than anything The Mars Volta have done post At the Drive In

  • Poor guys...Downgraded to this while TMV evolved so much...Omar and Cedric were obviously the owns holding ATDI up.

  • Vive le Rock, Sparta C'est bon dès !!!

  • ward is the shit

  • THIS IS SPARTA!!!!

  • One of the BEST rOCK sONG

  • I hate when people talk about sparta tmv and atdi always comes into the question. i love all of those band, and tbh, probably the volta the most, but i think people should separate the bands when they listen to them. there all amazing.

  • At the drive-in was better;-)

  • drummer is a beast.

  • ATDi better performances, sparta nicer sounding crisper music, mars volta annoying. atdi best, sparta very very good, mars volta good.

  • I like Sparta, but I still like The Mars Volta better. Then again, I'm a big fan of Progressive rock and experimental music, so my ears may be more accustomed to their strangeness.

  • OMG i fucking LOVE this song ♥ amazing D:

  • ATDI FOREVER!!!!!!

  • i dont really like sparta that much, but they should definitely get back together, it kicks sleepercar's ass.

  • jims a pussy, glad he's not plating wit Omar n cedric..

  • and you're so tough, criticising people over the internet.

  • Damn brings me back to the good times when this band At the drive in and thursday were playin good stuff unlike the unoriginal shit thats plaiging the radio and music shelfs today

  • A friend said they sound like the Cribs, an English band Johnny Marr (from the Smiths) recently joined. I was wary of the comparison til I heard "We Share The Same Skies." Both great bands, and I don't one rips off the other... but dude, if you read this, I get the comparison.

  • This performance is amazing! How does jim sing like that? Soft and smooth to raspy and punchy?! amazing...the rest of the guys are so on point also...amazing...

  • Doesnt Paul Hinojo's usually play Bass? hes playing guitar here

  • @goatyboy2007 he played guitar in sparta

  • ça déchire !!! vive le rock !!

  • Thank god I saw them live before they went on hiatus. I wish to see them live again.

  • The best formation.

  • i prefer sparta to tmv. a friend of mine saw tmv live said it was like being at a 1 hour long soundcheck, boring as hell. still hoping for an atd-i reunion

  • fantastic!

  • These guys rock, and the interpol comparison is about as way off as any ive heard, i think of early cursive (such blinding light for such starving eyes which split into criteria and current cursive line-ups) cursive split to the experimental which has served well for them just as tmv has after ATDI, and Sparta and Criteria went melodic, well written, and under appreciated cuz they still dont have mainstream sense-abilities as sell-outs, see them live and theyll change your mind, total energy

  • I'm glad someone actually knows what they are talking about. :) I love all the bands though, ATDI, Sparta, TMV, Criteria... etc. They all brought something to the table.

  • theyre all completely different and, i feel, shouldnt be compared...

    atdi was a great punk rock band

    tmv is a great experimental band

    sparta was a great emo band

    they are all fantastic and i love them all deeply

  • I just hope ATD-I vs Sparta vs TMV classic discussion didn't make Sparta to break up. I reckon they could be felt under pressure because of this. :S

  • it would suck to always be shaodwed by the "old band" instead of people listenin to them for the sake of music people will always listen to and compare. that would blow.

  • No offense.... This is really boring and sounds generic... Almost like interpol wannabe's... ATDI and TMV are way better sorry.

  • Sparta was before Interpol.

  • actually it's the other way around, but the bands are nothing alike anyway

  • ur the man

  • the drummer Tony Hajjar keeps me motivated he shows that Lebs could be big in music also

  • Sparta is humble .....TMV is innovative ... ATDI ..... according to my friend Agustus and others who I talk too ..... demanding. Yet they have great sounds and lyrics,
