The Mars Volta-Cygnus Vismund Cygnus(live,1/2)

[Corduroy1395]

Theodore not a great drummer? you mean the guy who wrote the drums to De-Loused, Amputecture, and Frances the Mute? Yeah he sucks. Yeah right.

[eettocs]

@Corduroy1395 Doesn't Omar write practically ALL the music? Including drums?

[DrummerPie]

this live is fantastic, wish i was there...best volta's period in my opinion :)

[PrimalHateGrind]

Fleming was the best TMV drummer, he even came up with most of the beats on De-Loused. Jon Theodore was not that great, highly overrated.

[drumsex]

@PrimalHateGrind hahahaha gtfo please, r u kiddin me? fleming wasnt able to keep jt's beats when he toured with tmv in the ampu era so dont talk shit bro

[MPrint666]

@PrimalHateGrind Flemming would be their worst if not for the stint with Elitch and he wrote most of their demo stuff, not Frances. I don't know what reasoning you're using. Among many other drummers I know, we all agree Theodore is one of the best writing drummers alive(similar to John Bonham), whereas Pridgen is one of the most skilled. Mars Volta were lucky to have those two and Deantoni Parks should be the next great addition.

[BHWR]

SPLAM!

[xzaarr]

is that jon theodore?  he sounds so much better than pridgen

[MrCotopaxi]

on amputhecture tour jon didnt play drumszz

[drumsex]

@MrCotopaxi yes he did

[MrCotopaxi]

@drumsex i thought that bold guy from rollins show replaced him...

[DaftSpock]

nomas les falto tocar sarcophagi ):

[CerpinTaxt1983]

man what a song. cygnus is the new roulette dares.

[sergioESP100]

Me gustaría que tocaran el intro de Cygnus, nunca lo hacen.

Aun recuerdo la primera vez que la escuché, pensé que hablaba de un exorcismo

[LeniAndorian]

Aún no entiendo por qué el intro de Cygnus es el mismo Sarcophagi, de Cassandra.. tendrá alguna relación con los personajes de la historia?

[marioramones]

@LeniAndorian Pues son personajes que estan dentro un mismo album, seria lo mas logico no?

[eettocs]

The intro in this sounds a lot like the quiet section of "Frances the Mute" the song.

[drumsex]

i think that's the point cuz you know frances is the firs song of the album its the beggining of the story and then cygnus come's in

[3573378]

@eettocs This intro is the intro of Vicarious Atonement of their album Amputechture.

[eettocs]

Nah, I'm pretty sure it's the quiet section of Frances. When Cedric is singing "To find her drunken by receipts. He held her by the ankles.."

[3573378]

@eettocs According to the experts: This riff was elaborated and eventually transposed to the beginning of Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus starting with the Frances the Mute tour, and then periodically before Vermicide during the Amputechture tour.

[millonkha]

@eettocs I'm agree with you

[eettocs]

@3573378 I went and listened to Vicarious Atonement, even though I own Amputechture and have heard that song probably thousands of times, and I didn't hear the opening riff that was played here. Then I listened to that quiet section in the song Frances and heard it. I stick by what I originally stated.

[eettocs]

@eettocs Because it is. "TO FIND HER DRUNKEN BY RECEEEIPTS"

[eettocs]

@eettocs I totally didn't realize I replied to myself just now. A year later and I forgot I commented on this video, so I reply to my comment I posted then.

[corruptedxsilence]

i love the way they arrange their live show, but overall the songs are performed allot better on recording i think

[kenziegunn]

different, maybe, but I wouldn't say better. It's just the version we fell in love with, but wouldn't it be boring if they just duplicated that?

[Lachy101]

LOL 2;28 random note hhahahaaa

[drumsex]

i luv the intro

[gbrooks2]

Awesome. Do you have a date for this concert?
