The Mars Volta - Televators (live)

[PunkRocker1463]

Who cares if Cedric messed up at the beginning! This is fucking awesome!

[evangelionale]

hey!.Fellow guitar players like me,can you tell me whats guitar effects omar is using in this song? (sounds flying things and birds sings is you know what i mean XD)....Sorry for my english

[Elevelin1]

@evangelionale he plays with bottleneck, this is the main thing. And it goes through a delay and I think he uses Whammy a few times.

[SagesBand]

@evangelionale i wonder too prob. a combination of all of his pedals



[honestcasey]

@evangelionale delay, ring modulator, octaver, fuzz distortion. the hard part if figuring out the sequence and levels for the effects.

[MyBottletree]

05:22 scares the shit out of me the guy looks totally like SYD BARRETT

Its like him observing that the future will be alright.

[evlis666azazel]

@MyBottletree Syd barret is live :D

[waterforagua]

Album based band my ass, their live shows fucking rock.

[MissSoulCollector]

I Love it

[mariah814]

Yeah the album sounds way better. The instruments are great but the studio sound is awesome

[ShiceIceDice]

I hate how cedric fucks up the lyrics at the beginning.

And overall lets be honest... Cedric isnt the best live singer :/ In most of his performances he misses most of the notes... to sad.

For me it's an albumbased band =)

Love the anyway <3

[tvasthekilla]

@tanvo93 acid is not an opiate bro

[ShiceIceDice]

@tvasthekilla: and I guess carlo doesnt mean, that the band takes acid :P

[tanvo93]

@tvasthekilla oh, well psycadelics and opiates

ummmm recreational drugs? haha

[carlo88moe]

a great acid band

[tanvo93]

@carlo88moe they quit opiates after ward died

[IdrinkPepsi]

@tanvo93 It's cool how you act like you know the members personally. Who the fuck are you to comment on their drug habits?

[tanvo93]

@IdrinkPepsi im just sayin man

dont get all offensive, they said it in an interview

[IdrinkPepsi]

@tanvo93 "They said it in an interview" = The most commonly used source for bullshit statements. (I'm saying that you probably are making that up).

[tanvo93]

@IdrinkPepsi wow

you really hope these guys are still opiate junkies huh?

[Fliko]

@IdrinkPepsi Actually they have openly said they stopped drugs many times. (I'm saying that your a dick)

[pynguina]

THE BEST!



[andthemushrooms123]

Whoa this is one of the goosebumpinest songs ever, it's so damn beautiful and poignant.

[LedZeppelin03]

Impressive song

[SIGMOID5]

they are so into the music...amazing individuals they are

[killamcr]

No!!! Cerpin Taxt!! How could you!!! 

[TheLeon8308]

Desde que escucho the mars Volta mi vida es muy diferente!! Son de otra dimensión!! Simplemente no tienen igual...

[PakiroVah]

@jonok911 Remember, this song is about his friend Julio Venegas who killed himself. I always saw it as him being overcome with emotion and forgetting the lyrics.

[Dimenshial]

@PakiroVah Could be, although Cedric has a habit (as most high-tenors do) about not singing lyrics they're not prepared for (for fear they might mess up). I'm torn between your theory on my own. I've heard several concerts now and he does the same...

[FlyingFuckstorm]

@PakiroVah This is actually a concept album about a guy called Cerpin Taxt trying to kill himself with rat poison, going into a coma, experiencing a surreal life-altering journey through his subconcious, waking up and then killing himself. Televators is the part where he kills himself (by jumping off a bridge).

[PakiroVah]

@FlyingFuckstorm Yes, but the album itself was influenced by Venegas' suicide.

[ZiraStarfollower]

Not quite like the studio version, but still mind-blowing, perhaps even more so at moments. :3

[poopdroop69]

How about this...I like both muse and the mars volta. *gets shot in head

[Mentaclink]

@poopdroop69 Don't worry I like Eminem and TMV.

[meuse64]

@poopdroop69 those two bands shouldn't even be in the same sentence.

[dieboxershortsrocks]

MUSE IST SUPER nix gegen MUSE ok!!!!

[zuesbaker]

9 ppl are black

[kayadasha]

@zuesbaker uhh, offensive anyone?

[zuesbaker]

@kayadasha chill out damn

[elnino3800]

like a Ross from friends :)

[EvilLeparacaun]

Amazing, I'm am so exited to they them live in Sydney!

[starscater]

1:17 oh fuck wrong lyrics "split both hi...." shouldve been "stuck in his neck to the gills"

[barbarapoo]

i miss jeremy :'(

[123412341234het]

Great. The number one comment is bashing another band. Congratulations.

[Jonsin92]

@123412341234het thats what makes a good comment these days

[hhwha1]

Does any one not get chills down their spine when listening to this song?

[JayartheBear]

mark these words nobody gives a $#!* about your opinion

[partykid13]

oh my me!! wow!!!

[eldani9465]

MUSE es muy bueno, es mas, excelenteeeeeeeeee!!!!! y the mars volta tambien lo es

[katietwotone]

...i had no idea...they were so good live...

[gasssxreloaded]

Muse es una cosa y The Mars Volta es otra. Al César, lo del César.

[stabu18]

If Julio Venegas never died, would he be in The Mars Volta? Would it be called The Mars Volta?

Would ATDI be different?

[fundude1200]

muse got caught up and lost there souls to the fuken corperations. they r a bunch of semi-conformist twilight douche-bags. im not saying there early work dident blow my mind im just saying they sold out

[OvertheHills821]

@fundude1200 They sold out? Did you listen to the Resistance? The last quarter of the album was a symphony, that's as mainstream as it gets (/sarcasm)... Anyways what's with people arguing over Muse. It doesn't matter what band the video is for, fuckin Blink 182 or The Mars Volta. Muse is nothing like any other band stop comparing them. And if you just say they're straight bad then you're a straight moron.

[julesYoung22]

MUSE used to be good, showbiz, origin of symemtry and absolution are great albums

[pcdpnsss]

JUST FEW WORDS: OH MY GOD...

[mcnamarskiez]

those who stood in that crowd to witness this are some of the luckiest people in the history of volta fans. congratulations to you all

[MissAlengod]

getting a hard obe listening to this song.lol jk butreally i am

[Tilapiojoso]

long life to the mars volta!!!!!!!!!!!

[cocuncupinaculo]

fucking amazing song...always gives me shivers...sloppy vocals though

[theKtotheG86]

@cocuncupinaculo I don't know why, but this is my favorite version of the song BECAUSE of the vocals. It's vulnerable and fragile and right.

[TheDinnerTimeBoys]

this is problably the only song of theirs they can actually pull off live

[eoin86]

@TheDinnerTimeBoys .....Wrong! Saw them last year in Dublin and every song was a studio duplicate, pitch perfect from Cedric, tight as a fuckin drum. Incredible considering the intricacies of their music.

[Maria20sagittarius]

<3

[JEREMYTRUJEQUE]

MTV played some good music for once.

[Mixarenan]

This is the version that is on the Live EP, right?

[hhwha1]

@Mixarenan right

[thecerp1ntaxt]

@Mixarenan yes it is on the Live EP

[jacobelder]

4:32-4:42 

[movesinc]

oh and with crooked rain, crooked rain of course

[movesinc]

best album... ever

ok, well maybe a tie with second stage turbine and the bends.

[movesinc]

best album... ever

[radd973]

deloused is one of the best albums ever made

[belzoboy]

@radd973 So true... I'm in love with this album. I listen at least one time per week, at most 3 times per day! ^^

[ChonnyChimole]

TMV is on a higher plane of existence...

[TheTammyTube]

This was shit. Where was the guitar wall of sound for the first two choruses?

[Badman2123]

Trip Balls to this shit everytime...They made this music for tripping on lsd!

[eamnr14]

matts voice puts u to sleep(in a bad way)

that said mars volta is much better

[mrivanO123]

led zeppelin ??

[bnhek562]

Really enjoy this band.

[DaysLikeYears]

Shivers...

[drmrguy69]

Mars Volta and muse r 2 of the most dynamic and most influential bands of our time...look at how diverse they r ppl

[itSmicr0]

best part is from 0:00 - 6:37

[getcrunkwithrunk]

the beggining still gives me chills

[crissy8185]

excellent! <3 <3 <3 

[BRADvsBR4D]

i love how reverent the audience is

[AHMADF93]

Whoa. I am tone deaf but I sure love this!! It's pretty unique how The Mars Volta plays live compared to their recordings. Amazing!

[MisterWhyte09]

@AHMADF93 yeah, it only makes sense though, when in the studio it's probably just a big jam session just as it is on stage.

[BossThugington]

the emotion behind this performance is truly incredible to me

[TravuhsWree]

This is the part in the album when Cerpin Taxt hits the ground and the Tremulants take him out of his body.....

[afab232]

what out of this world effects is Omar using...i'd love to know

[stevefoxthebox]

2003...holy shit.

[mylittlewhiskeygirl]

I love when he hits the high notes

[eamnr14]

soo much emotion from cedric, i love it!

[deenomat69]

Fuckin awsome live version !!!

One of their best songs in my opinion

[eamnr14]

@jerrytheman1987 i agree, OVER RATED band!

[TravuhsWree]

@jerrytheman1987 Don't be a hater. Their most recent album sucked, but all the rest were great, in my opinion. And if you don't agree, you don't have to be a faggot about it. Thanks.

[jerrytheman1987]

@TravuhsWree dude chill out..i love their old stuff, but evryones making a big deal about their new stuff comparing them to U2 and The Beatles..and they are not even up there, not for another 30 years..The Mars Volta is way Better!!!

[TravuhsWree]

@jerrytheman1987 I'd suggest purchasing a muzzle of some sort so that complete and utter bullshit will stop spilling out of your mouth. 1) You said they "SUCK", not that you liked their previous albums. 2) Muse is a WAY better live band, (better vocals.) 3) Who cares who they're compared to? They are not at all similar to U2 or the Beatles so why even bother comparing the two? Muse isn't even similar to Mars Volta so why bother comparing the two? Neither is better dumb ass. IT'S CALLED OPINION.

[jerrytheman1987]

@TravuhsWree If your saying Muse is better at everything, what the fuck are you doing here?? badmouthing The mars volta?? you dont see me in a muse video talking shit about them!! Your a loser, probably a virgin, still lives with hi parents, and ugly like a orangutan on crack!! loser, no good at anything!!

[TravuhsWree]

@jerrytheman1987 I'm still in high school. So it would make sense that I still live with my parents. I'm not bad mouthing TMV, since they're one of my favorite bands. Cedric isn't that good at live vocals. That's the truth. Muse isn't better at everything. Where exactly did I say that? Answer: Nowhere. I said they were a better live band, which is true.

[jerrytheman1987]

@TravuhsWree Your not badmouthing them??? hahahaha! you just did fucking pathetic high schooler, what the fuck do you know about The Mars volta?? jeesh! its little kids like you that kill awesome bands like them, no wonder bands stay indie and only allow 18 and older shows, from cunts like you, who dont know shit about music, and just listen to them, because you heard the Widow on Mtv..jajajajaja!! go listen to Fall out boy!

[TravuhsWree]

@jerrytheman1987 I'm not badmouthing them, I'm saying that their live performances need work and that Cedric can't reach all the notes he can in the records. He's pitchy. If you can't hear that, it probably has something to do with the fact that you know nothing about music, (NOTHING.) I heard Mars Volta on last.fm...

Quit while you're ahead, you look like a giant dumbass.

Fall Out Boy sucks, why would I listen to them?

Also:

Come up with an actual insult.

[jerrytheman1987]

@TravuhsWree That wasnt an insult, it was a conversation idiot.

what the fuck does a highschooler know about The Mars volta?

you just proved my point idiot, Thanks...I had no idea you are a professional Critic...awesome are you sucking Ebert and roepers dick for tips???

Hows that job, let me guess you wikipidea them so you know their life story, and i bet you are one of those idiots that take cameras to their shows???

[TravuhsWree]

@jerrytheman1987 There are children in elementary school who are less petty than you. Did I claim to know everything about their lives? Did I ever really say that? You think that being 5 years older gives you an infinitely larger insight on the world? If you do, I feel very sorry for you.

[jerrytheman1987]

@TravuhsWree Lol. Nice! that was funny! The say that with age people get wiser, so tell that to fucking who ever writes these proverbs, and i forgive you, ill hire you when i graduate from college..

[TravuhsWree]

@jerrytheman1987 That hardly applies when the age difference is FIVE YEARS lol. No, you won't be in a position to hire anyone when you graduate from "college". You should probably stop trying to write the future, since it's never going to be concrete. If you believe you can want something and act like a complete moron and somehow magically it will appear in your hands right before, THEN YOU ARE IN FOR ONE HELLUVA GREAT SURPRISE BUDDY-O!

[hovzio]

@TravuhsWree "their live performances need WORK"????????? LOL, I assume flash is not installed and you were unable to watch the above video LMAO..

[TravuhsWree]

@hovzio I guess you're tone deaf? It's a good performance, and the same goes for most of their performances, but the vocals are pretty shaky.

[hovzio]

@TravuhsWree Lol... you sure you got the ole adobe "onboard".. check it out.. get.adobe.com/flashplayer/

[TravuhsWree]

@hovzio I guess you're mentally challenged in addition to being tone deaf? What a shame.

[hovzio]

@TravuhsWree hehe "mentally challenged.."; maybe, dunno lol..Ok, its pretty simple, for windows you just follow he link I gave you, it will be installed in the form of a plugin.for debian based distros its even simpler, just open a terminal and type; sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree. being butthurt and offending others just because one fails to install a simple plugin is not the way to go; hmm maybe if you ask really nice I'll make you a walkthrough, you know, pics and the like...

[TravuhsWree]

@hovzio Tl;dr

LOL

[hovzio]

@TravuhsWree lol, dude your alright, not bad guitar you got goin there..cheers

[14Hendrix14]

@jerrytheman1987 Why do you say that?

[Darioauli]

@jerrytheman1987 haha shut the fuck up, muse is awesome

[93Bigbrown]

@jerrytheman1987 dude don't even talk cause MUSE is good. you just don't know good music -_-

[oranjee2]

@jerrytheman1987

You are fucking right!!!!

[TroyKeenanMedia]

@jerrytheman1987 I don't see how that's relevant but yeah they do

[Bassplaya919]

@jerrytheman1987 lol yeah okay

[TheAtomicLad1996]

These guys can mess up and still be one of the best bands ever! IMO the only progressive band better than these guys is Dream Theater

[gobbagu]

@TheAtomicLad1996 Or Tool.

[keepit0nthedL17]

haha this song and widow are the only songs I know the lyrics to. I could listen to these guys anytime.. awsome band, epic performance, overall perfect! From 3:42 and on is my favorite part.

[Walesaennui]

Jeremy Ward should have never died.

[almightyseancore]

@Walesaennui death pretty much surrounds these guys.

[sleeplessXthursday]

@almightyseancore Its gotta be from from those dealas with satan. it would take at least 20 to be this awesome.

[starscater]

Yeah his brother Jered is pretty cool tho

[heavenlydemonic23]

@Walesaennui Jeremy Ward should have never been on heroine lmao

[hhwha1]

5.24... just wow

[1189jesus]

me encanta el video es algo melancolico

[19ZoSo93]

Who the hell is comparing Muse with The Mars Volta? Is that really necessary?

Muse and The Mars Volta are easily the 2 best bands this generation has ever seen. Extreme talent from both bands. Love them both to death.

[PwoperFish88]

@19ZoSo93 i second this

[12ozshark]

@19ZoSo93 Queens of the stone and white stripes as well no doubt

[19ZoSo93]

@12ozshark Hells Yea!! Both of those bands are amazing as well, Queens are incredible, and White Stripes are probably one of the most unique and distinctive bands ever.

[hueynewt]

@19ZoSo93 Muse? are you serious lol? Muse and Coldplay are like cheap imitations of Radiohead, fake plastic Radiohead if you will.

[19ZoSo93]

@hueynewt Muse a plastic Radiohead? That just shows you don't really know anything about Muse. There first album definitely showed signs of Radiohead, but they killed that off with Absolution, Black Holes, and then the Resistance is as far away from Radiohead as you can be. Muse are amazing, very talented band.

Tbh, I don't know why I am discussing Muse on a Mars Volta video. Sorry everyone.

[hueynewt]

@19ZoSo93  Oh please man, the guy from muse even tries to look like Thom Yorke, its pretty pathetic. Its one thing to be influenced by someone but to straight up copy is pretty sad.

[19ZoSo93]

@hueynewt Well, think what you will, but Muse is doing stuff that sounds nothing like Radiohead now. Their last 3 albums have been great, and killed off Radiohead comparisons, because Muse has become a stadium band. They love to play big, over-the-top stadium shows with massive production values, while making great music.

Muse and Radiohead are two different things. Radiohead is great, Muse is great. People just can't get by the fact that Muse have evolved from a Radiohead clone.

[hueynewt]

@19ZoSo93 Muse is a decent mainstream pop band, Radiohead is one of the best rock and roll bands of all time.When the singer of muse starts singing and dressing like himself instead of trying to be and look like thom yorke then we can talk.

[19ZoSo93]

@hueynewt Well.. I don't ever remember Thom wearing a bright red suit, like Bellamy does... But meh.

I'm just gonna keep enjoying Muse, Radiohead, and of course, Mars Volta.

[iceravenVI]

@hueynewt please don't be naive, radiohead are as mainstream as muse are. muse's early music was influenced by ok computer era radiohead, but it's quite clear that muse do very different music today, as do radiohead. Don't be pretentious and think that being exclusively a radiohead fan makes you better - it just makes you narrow minded.

[hueynewt]

@hueynewt Lol you are hilarious, and sorry i just dont like cover bands like muse and coldplay.

[upptekid]

my favorite band.

respect to cedric for singing this live, about their friend who past away. personally i could never do it.

[VPLoki]

Fuderoro

[emilyownsarat]

Those lyrics and those vocals amaze me.

[honestcasey]

they make atmosphere like no other

[stabu18]

I love how he makes a mistake on the words. Doesn't matter. The band makes it awesome

[nbkcaniz]

sux

[rcmasse]

@nbkcaniz then gtfo?

[nbkcaniz]

@rcmasse yes

[Clownpwnage17]

Epic WIN.

[Deeprive]

My god. This is one of the most powerful and unique performances my eyes will every see.

[vegadomis32988]

so psychadelic in the begining

[Angui78]

Care mie farfalle, ragionate su questo!

Ma che pezzo che è!

[INHALE2thaCHIEF]

TMV and MUSE...maybe the vocal ranges strike resemblence. Both bands are already legendary to me.

[BlackIroni]

His voice is indescribable, didn't think he would have such similar voice as on C.D. Blows my mind away.

[magicbag6790]

fucking televators is only good to listen to when your listening to the live version. televators is without a doubt the worst song from de loused in the comatorium

[mrgreen05]

@magicbag6790 WOOOOW man youre so fucking crazy!

[YouNeverGoA2M]

@mrgreen05 he really is!!

[PuddingPloppers]

I wish I could sing like him.

[funknotik]

My favorite mars volta album still.

[TheAtomicLad1996]

"Just as he hit the ground, They lowered a tow that split both his li.....Eahh"

Love this song!

[TheAtomicLad1996]

I love this song!! His voice is amazing!

[saci1980]

muito bom!

[nadialovesmuse]

The Mars Volta and Muse play completely different music, so I have no idea why they are being compared to each other here. They are both amazing bands, end of story. Great video.

[asspants101]

@nadialovesmuse thanks your right! both are amazing

[TimTehPilot]

beautiful band. it still blows my mind how they make everything work together.

[MrSym21]

I have been an avid muse fan for years. At the moment though mars volta creams on muse's new stuff. Omar is a genius.
