Wax Simulacra - Live on m-TV - Mars Volta

[ReallyShittyStuff]

Omar is so Aa-wesome!

[Castiel207]

dude...look how pumped omar is haha

[shardz20]

i love how crazy they are on stage, so much energy.

[adamgergich96]

pridgen is a tank, he's definately my favourite drummer, but with all the live sets that the volta do, the micing for the toms are so shit, all the insane fills he does are ruined due to the fact that you can only hear his snare

[bea5ToloG]

agreed. and roulette dares suffers as well.

[verdenodela1]

Tom was fired this week.

[OneOfTheFire]

omar and ced have hand eye coordination skills of gods.

watch ced swing the mic around and catch it again to start singing.

one day omars gonna get hit in the face with that mic though

[Delawah]

@OneOfTheFire He has been hit lol

[laydeezman217]

lol Pridgen's snare is so loud :)

[punkska14]

2:07

[vanillagorillafu]

His signature is probably the lightest guitar I have ever owned. It is no problem to go a little punk with it. I have a stratocaster too and I can't do crap without screwing up.

Also it helps to have made the song.

[OneOfTheFire]

yh i heard his signatures deliberately featherweight so he can do all that shit on stage.

my sg is pretty heavy which is pretty annoying.

[thesoothsayer25]

he can move like that cuz certain parts of their songs have relatively easy guitar licks. i would know cuz i can play alot of their material. youll notice he doesnt go quite as crazy during solos, etc.

[Wishchrono]

How the hell does Omar move like that WHILE playing :|

[K7K7K1]

Been wondering the same thing LOL. Omar is that amazing! xD

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

I don't think he COULD play like that if he wasn't moving like that :)

Holy crap this is one futuristic band

[trenken]

Listen to his playing. He's just shredding on the strings. Not playing anything precise or complex.

[FaithDead]

He actually is, trenken.

[Paranoid40]

I try and try... and I realize...

Isn't the same thing ... XD

[atomskfresh]

His singing is great

[runndrumnswim]

No but your spelling is.

Find me a singer that attempts Cedric's range and intensity regularly live and nails it each time over a course of 5 years. WHAT? SOME NOTES ARE HARDER TO HIT THAN OTHERS? sounding like the angriest blue collar worker at the bar isn't much of a challenge for the voice, which is why you have so many of them, and so few attempting the range of Cedric Zalvas. When you do, they often can't match the studio sounds every time due to the nature of the challenge.

[EtcEtcAndEtc]

Runndrum knows what the fuck he's talking about.

[clapadamclap]

the fuck would you know?

[JefeElMilagro]

2:07 -- that was a close one.

[dylb88]

closer than you think ! haha

[kmblodorn]

[mexican123678]

MARS VOLTA ROCKZ VIVA MEXICO

[stunnaonflyrims]

I just wanted to get clarification on the emblem on the bass drum head...is that a buff penguin lol??? (Darn youtube video quality)

[dylb88]

no it's "Dancing Dwarf" by Jeff Jordan

[ImaFez]

@stunnaonflyrims lol, maybe he did that to push u back and make u stop filming.

[hawk1513]

2:04-2:08 awesome mic work like always

[dylb88]

when you see the mic swing around the front, it nearly pegged me :) and then durring goliath, i was hit several times by his mic cord, i wonder if he noticed me filming? :P

[hawk1513]

lol maybe that's why he kept hitting you with his cord? nah, but he has a lot of serious mic action. its really cool.

[xXxFatalErrorxXx]

I haven't seen Omar move like that since ATD-I!

Incredible.

[bhallacy]

Not true. he still moves like that. and Damn its sexy

[Rodry88]

you were pretty motherfucking close!

[cdrumz]

man mars volta's great, but led zeppelin never experimentated with salsa or jazz or serious funk...and its true that they dont like being called that...

[DiscoGabe]

Best band to perform on MTV Live.

[tehmarzvotla]

juan kicks some serious ass in this vid.

[ProtoBrisk]
