@kjuyhfklujhkuyf What makes music great is all opinion. If Coldplay reworks the same song elements 100 times over, and people think it's great, then more power to them. If someone thinks the sound of grinding fingernails against chalkboard is great music, then more power to them. I personally think originality, ambition, sincerity, and innovation make music great - I prefer to hear new things. But like I said, people like all kinds of music and have their opinions, so listen to what you want!
@peanutismint He was doing that ironically. I read a Cedric Bixler interview where he talks about how he hates Coldplay for being one of the many fake "alternative" bands that attempt to copy the most digestible parts of Radiohead's "OK Computer." I fully agree with him.
@kjuyhfklujhkuyf Well I fully disagree. Coldplay are not 'alternative', they're about as mainstream as you can get, and as such it has become cool to hate on them, despite them actually being one of the greatest bands in the world right now. Even if Cedric hates Coldplay, they love ATD-I (they flipped out on Twitter recently with news of the band reforming!). So maybe it'll be lonely for me being the only die hard genuine ATD-I *and* Coldplay fan??!
@peanutismint In Cedric's opinion, and in mine, originality is what makes music great, and there really are tons of bands like Coldplay just selling us the same dumbed down version of OK Computer over and over again. Cedric likes tons of mainstream stuff and so do I, that's not why we're anti-Coldplay.
Apparently, ATDI (Jim in particular) and Coldplay did become friends at one point. Quick google search:
"We end up spending a lot of time together and the big joke on that tour was that I just wanted to hang out with the pale guys since I was the only white guy [in the band],” Ward continues with a laugh. The friendships blossomed to hospitality, with Ward recalling that when At the Drive-In cancelled the last dates of their 2001 European tour, they stayed with members of Coldplay in England."
@littlebd7 ahh no, Im sorry mate. I didnt mean to upset you. Your probably right anyway. He must be a die hard fan. He couldnt even get the name of the song right at the end and didnt know who their names, only knew Cedric and Omar but hey your proabably right. Sorry mate, I'll have to shove whatever it is you want me to shove up my ass, up my ass..
@themarsvolta23 umm.. dude, For starters normally TV hosts get the bands they have on the show to introduce them selfs for, you know, the people who are hearing them for the first time. secondly, he accidentally said the name of the song wrong then corrected himself straight after. I also happen to go to school with Jabbas son who listens to at the drive in and tells me about how his dad introduced him to them.
@littlebd7 Settle down mate. You dont have to get all upset over a little comment. I said you are right. Jabba is one of the biggest fans going around. I know for a fact he is cos remember how you said so? Im sure Jabbas son can make you feel better. Im sure he can make you feel sexy again. You little queer cunt.
@raulsauce12 The whole out-of-tune thing is really deceptive though. At the Drive-In kind of has it both ways because, structurally, they're honestly writing really approachable songs. Very traditional, almost pop, in a sense. But then they drop this storm of wild lead sound over top of it, which obscures that. And when they're bending those lead parts out of key, it's only slight. It doesn't tear the song's fabric. Brilliant band, but not as outlandish as some think they are.
@ChonnyChimole Definitely dude! Soon as that part starts at 0:23 i can start to hear similarities to fugazi. Fugazi and ATDI are both awesome so its also not a bad thing haha
@benjammin415 post hardcore or not, guitar player usually prefers the sound of their guitar in tune, or at least G strings and higher they do, the bottom 3 dont really fuckin matter though, steve albini tuned his guitar often and he's basicly a god of post-hardcore
The members of ATDI always did disrespect their own listeners, especially those who came on board after Relationship of Command came out. So no wonder that they're still taking a crap on their own musical legacy together. The problem with a reunion from Cedric's viewpoint is that they'd be playing music from "10 years ago," and they're all so much more advanced today than they were then.
I,m new to atdi and all I can say is wow.I tried on some mars volta , still waitng for it to grab me.I have to agree with Cedric's view point, they have advanced so much that I can't comprehend it , way to take the average listener out of the equation.look foward to an ATDI REUNION

@WherethisAllStarted These guys made really challenging, interesting music together. But they never seemed to respect their fans, and don't have much respect for people who are still listening to their old stuff - because it's old, and because they've all moved beyond this material (from their point of view). I like their music, but they're kind of jerks.
@lawyerly Sounds more like you don't have respect for them and the fact that bands change. Playing the same music album after album may get boring. You want them to just keep playing the same thing for you and people like you who only listen to a bands' debut album?
@DevilsRejects007 Uh, these guys couldn't stand one another and broke up. They didn't show any respect for their listeners when this material was brand new. And yes, you're right, I don't have respect for bands that abuse their own audience.
who the fuck disliked this, if you're going to be looking at video of at the drive in, then you would probably have to know the band, and if you know the band then you would not dislike... ... ... ... !
@russ0r My friend gave me a copy of Relationship and Command three years ago.When i heard it i was like now this is a band.Dont ask me how i over looked them for so many years.I rate them now as my favourite band of all times.No one comes close.I have never ever got sick of thier albums..Not many bands u can say that about.Volume is the key too these guys.Smash the system.Kim
love at the drive-in. its real post-hardcore, not like escape the fate faggy screamo and metalcore scene music that disguises itself as post-hardcore. whats funny is that without all the kinds of music i listen to, the kinds of music i dont listen to wouldnt exist, but nobody's ever said "without my kind of music, your's wouldnt exist" to me and be right about it, i actually love fuckin classical and jazz and blues and all that. i get carried away with my comments...
Cedric and Omar took the experimental, alternative, and Latin side of At the Drive In with them to The Mars Volta while the rest took the catchy riffs, punk sound, and more controlled parts with them to Sparta.
Darn it! Why wasn't I born earlier to hear these two great combinations shoved into one kick butt band with that most raw power jump around kind of feeling that made you just want to go nuts and wake up your neighborhood and get arrested?!
Jim Ward is such a tool, he brings the band down with his goofy whiteboy drawl. He can dedicate a song to Coldplay without irony, its not hard to see why Cedric and Omar left, he just doesn't get it, his mindset is tuned to a different station. He'll still be wearing a baseball cap and be parodically playing three-chord punk as he sags into middle-age... then again maybe I'm worse, and I'll be spouting hot-air over the internet as I sag into old age.
@GuiltedbytheSun Dude, Cedric does the same stuff. When they played the Electric Ballroom live for De-Loused In The Comatorium for the Mars Volta Cedric was like "We're Mudvayne"(look up the video for proof). They just do that they all have bigger mouths than their face can hold when it comes to their musical opinions as far as I've heard from them. Don't talk shit about someone you don't even know.
I'm sorry but, am I the only person who noticed how awful there guitar player sounds? He isn't even in tune. I don't normally comment on this kind of stuff.
@lengrandband Good job noticing that. You can observe musical theory. Now musical emotion, you can't. I'm saying this with no intent to argue or start "youtube shit", but you don't get this band. Of no fault of your own, its something that happens to everybody, everybody has their own tastes in music. Now go listen to some music that you enjoy
@melongabg I'm not saying the emotion isn't there, I can see the boys are into it, but I happened to stumble across this video, like most things on youtube and wondered if people actually didn't care that the guitar player is just whacking notes without any idea of what's going on. Like this is ok, nowadays? Anyways, comments are meant to be comments, good or bad. It's a comment this video deserved.
@lengrandband instead of just :checking video's out", why don't you watch a min, of 3 before you make ignorant comments. YES the music nowadays is GARBAGE but this is one band that has substance and longevity! The front man is amazing at that.
@lengrandband He's a fairly renowned guitarist, this is earlier in his career but look at The Mars Volta or his solo stuff. I wouldn't say he's hitting random notes, He knows what hes doing, but I would agree that he gets quite self-indulgent with his playing.
Come watch my video SYMPHONY OF THE GUITAR RIFF. Its got tons of classic guitar hooks from the likes of Led Zeppelin, Nirvana and Pantera all played back to back to create a rockin' extravaganza!!!-_-!!!
you can tell from the style of singing and guitaring that cedric and omar were at least RELATIVELY sobre. i prefer cedric that way, omar's just always amazing. I miss when this was considered popular music, ATDI need to reunite for the sole purpose of getting rid of the dumber music that's out there right now. they attacked boy bands with relationship of command lol.
I've been an ATDI fan for about 5 years now... and I just wanted to say that they changed my life, musically, and emotionally. They were the begining of everything I am now, and I don't know where I'd be without this band. Everyone wants a reunion, but if they ever did have a reunion, the demand wouldn't be as high...it's kind of like if Kurt Cobain hadn't killed himself, and Nirvana were still a band, and playing shows, the public wouldn't crave so much of either band.
so why do you think they called their best-of "this station is non-operational"? Right, to leave the suggestion open that the station might be operational again in the future...
jim definitely peaked in ATDI. and while TMV is harder to relate to, at least they've progressed musically. i'm glad that there's never going to be a reunion, because they dont even talk to each other and at the most it would just be for publicity.
typical tmv fan post. jim peaked in atdi? are you kidding, have you even listened to sparta or sleepercar? sparta's porcelain is probably one of the best alt. rock records ever.
tmv and sparta are completely different bands and shouldn't even be compared to each other but always will be because of atdi.
i have listened to sparta. and he's just making the same kindof music he was in atdi, except its not as progressive. he makes good alt rock records, but it's been done before. theres nothing wrong with that, but he's not pushing himself in anyway other than "now i'm going to make typical folky singer/songwriter music". don't get me wrong, he's good, i guess i just expected something less average from a member of atdi.
Why the fuck can more hardcore bands be like this just 1percent like this. Now bands are like feminine and shit with the eye liner and shit and the frilly voice come the hell on
@SoaringLotus Wow, I can't believe that's the highest rated comment.
Come on, man. I'm a girl and I love this band. I don't think femininity is what makes music shitty, but the lack of skill and passion that's actually required to make the music. The guys who wear eye liner and shit are just following a fad because they want their band to be popular. THAT's the problem. Plus, they sound like whining donkeys when they try to put emotion in their music (Never Shout Never and billions more)
@SoaringLotus Hardcore being about Feminine eye liner with frilly voices? I don't know what kind of hardcore you're listening to, but you should go check out Have Heart. This is more of the beginning of main stream experimental. This lead for popularity to accumulate for Circa Survive, and other bands with emphasis on Minor chords and leads.
I seriously think that, if these guys got back together, it wouldn't be a shitty reunion at all. It would probably be just as powerful as it was before.
Don't Omar wants to though, he was quoted as saying something like he doesn't want to play songs from 15 years ago. So I don't know what the chances are.
Good News Cedric said in rolling stone that the band is on good terms again. They are currently working out their legal issues to gain control over their band's older records and any future ones. Any new material would be amazing. Just a matter of time?
At the drive in reuniting is what my dreams are made of, they had my heart since I first heard relationship of command, after that I dove in head first and Ive never gotten enough.

Jim Ward is such a tool, he brings the band down with his goofy whiteboy drawl. He can dedicate a song to Coldplay without irony, its not hard to see why Cedric and Omar left, he just doesn't get it, his mindset is tuned to a different station. He'll still be wearing a baseball cap and be parodically playing three-chord punk as he sags into middle-age... then again maybe I'm worse, and I'll be spouting hot-air over the internet as I sag into old age.

@GuiltedbytheSun Dude, Cedric does the same stuff. When they played the Electric Ballroom live for De-Loused In The Comatorium for the Mars Volta Cedric was like "We're Mudvayne"(look up the video for proof). They just do that they all have bigger mouths than their face can hold when it comes to their musical opinions as far as I've heard from them. Don't talk shit about someone you don't even know.

I'm sorry but, am I the only person who noticed how awful there guitar player sounds? He isn't even in tune. I don't normally comment on this kind of stuff.
lengrandband 1 year ago
@lengrandband Good job noticing that. You can observe musical theory. Now musical emotion, you can't. I'm saying this with no intent to argue or start "youtube shit", but you don't get this band. Of no fault of your own, its something that happens to everybody, everybody has their own tastes in music. Now go listen to some music that you enjoy
melongabg 1 year ago
@melongabg I'm not saying the emotion isn't there, I can see the boys are into it, but I happened to stumble across this video, like most things on youtube and wondered if people actually didn't care that the guitar player is just whacking notes without any idea of what's going on. Like this is ok, nowadays? Anyways, comments are meant to be comments, good or bad. It's a comment this video deserved.
lengrandband 1 year ago
@lengrandband instead of just :checking video's out", why don't you watch a min, of 3 before you make ignorant comments. YES the music nowadays is GARBAGE but this is one band that has substance and longevity! The front man is amazing at that.

@bostonjoemattson The comment is at this video in particular.
lengrandband 1 year ago
@lengrandband He's a fairly renowned guitarist, this is earlier in his career but look at The Mars Volta or his solo stuff. I wouldn't say he's hitting random notes, He knows what hes doing, but I would agree that he gets quite self-indulgent with his playing.

you can tell from the style of singing and guitaring that cedric and omar were at least RELATIVELY sobre. i prefer cedric that way, omar's just always amazing. I miss when this was considered popular music, ATDI need to reunite for the sole purpose of getting rid of the dumber music that's out there right now. they attacked boy bands with relationship of command lol.

I've been an ATDI fan for about 5 years now... and I just wanted to say that they changed my life, musically, and emotionally. They were the begining of everything I am now, and I don't know where I'd be without this band. Everyone wants a reunion, but if they ever did have a reunion, the demand wouldn't be as high...it's kind of like if Kurt Cobain hadn't killed himself, and Nirvana were still a band, and playing shows, the public wouldn't crave so much of either band.

so why do you think they called their best-of "this station is non-operational"? Right, to leave the suggestion open that the station might be operational again in the future...

"This station is non-operational" would imply that the station is not going to be operational in the future.

jim definitely peaked in ATDI. and while TMV is harder to relate to, at least they've progressed musically. i'm glad that there's never going to be a reunion, because they dont even talk to each other and at the most it would just be for publicity.
iuhuh10110 2 years ago
typical tmv fan post. jim peaked in atdi? are you kidding, have you even listened to sparta or sleepercar? sparta's porcelain is probably one of the best alt. rock records ever.
tmv and sparta are completely different bands and shouldn't even be compared to each other but always will be because of atdi.
skrlxrs 2 years ago
@skrlxrs
i have listened to sparta. and he's just making the same kindof music he was in atdi, except its not as progressive. he makes good alt rock records, but it's been done before. theres nothing wrong with that, but he's not pushing himself in anyway other than "now i'm going to make typical folky singer/songwriter music". don't get me wrong, he's good, i guess i just expected something less average from a member of atdi.

mikol58 1 year ago
@SoaringLotus Wow, I can't believe that's the highest rated comment.
Come on, man. I'm a girl and I love this band. I don't think femininity is what makes music shitty, but the lack of skill and passion that's actually required to make the music. The guys who wear eye liner and shit are just following a fad because they want their band to be popular. THAT's the problem. Plus, they sound like whining donkeys when they try to put emotion in their music (Never Shout Never and billions more)

@SoaringLotus Hardcore being about Feminine eye liner with frilly voices? I don't know what kind of hardcore you're listening to, but you should go check out Have Heart. This is more of the beginning of main stream experimental. This lead for popularity to accumulate for Circa Survive, and other bands with emphasis on Minor chords and leads.

Good News Cedric said in rolling stone that the band is on good terms again. They are currently working out their legal issues to gain control over their band's older records and any future ones. Any new material would be amazing. Just a matter of time?
