@SnakeJuice720 I heard that they're planning on touring all over the West Coast, but only the West Coast :(

[BarcaFury]

The voice is quite similar to Zach de la Rocha. Good stuff.

[Chancestodolak]

[Fabipunkinola]

@DeficitAttentionProg I.AM.SO.EXCITED.

[zackawii]

THEY BACK BITCHES

[sonic777111]

Omar certainly seems to be enjoying himself...

[GreenMacPL]

Curly hair kicks ass ;)

[murrayisarobot]

Love how raw and raucous they were live. True punk rock fashion. Hopefully they definitely are reforming, and come over to the UK. They won't be the same as this, but it would be amazing to see them.

[danceformegirl]

I've probably heard this song 30 times and had no idea what the lyrics were. Thanks! haha

[kyler1268]

Belive it or not The Solja Boy, Catdaddy, Shuffling and Many other Famous Dances Where Inspired By the Lead Singers Dancing! Thumbs Up if u Agree!

[bonesxbreak]

The crowd has no idea what the fuck they just saw. =P

[12stillruns]

Reform?

[hojima]

@12stillruns No.

[delkozeband]

excellentissssssssime

[arturtregozi]

omar:puerto rico, tony:libia ,jim:eua, paul y cedric:mexico: at the drive in

[SirSmighty]

This is the best live video of this song i have heard, most the time they sound out of tune :|

[Vartex]

@SirSmighty They are only out of tune really during their Relationship of Command era videos, listen to anything from before that they are pretty much perfect. No idea why Omar decided not to tune during this era..

[SirSmighty]

@Vartex Lol sounds good i'll check it out, thanks for the info.

[canesrule96]

I write to remember

I write to remember

my right to remember!!!!

Always get goosebumps!

[PolarGenre]

1:54, i got scared for the guitar :o

[matheuscvids]

Something is very wrong. Are they at the drive in or at the late show? Fuck this shit...I quit.

[OGanj280]

Best nightshow episode ever...

[FoundationsofPause]

The day Letterman died from awesome.

[smls93]

I like their studio recordings, but they sound like shit live.

[MyeAlibi]

@smls93 It's all about the energy of their live shows. That's what got me hooked.

[DrowningYourMother]

That was intense.

[JBalex444]

I love this guy because is so fucking crazy !!

[edictzero]

For those of you who don't know, the lead singer of this band is the ilegitiate son of horseshack from welcome back kotter

[PetriSoul]

I think this just cured my depression.

[madmax18840]

53 people fucking suck.

[melkon1an]

@madmax18840 dude shut the fuck up. that shit is like 3 years old now

[madmax18840]

@melkon1an lol

[joaomendes88]

plz nevr die.. we need strong musicians

[rpglover101]

@joaomendes88 They're back.

[polcsek10]

Nice hardcore!

[LukeSarazine]

Best Late Night performance.

[maestrostring00]

Best song that is there's !!

[cpowell786]

Dude, David Letterman always bring a new shade of white to the color spectrum.

[eMaLiO36]

Omar and Tony seemed really pissed off at the end of the show... you can note it by the way Tony instantly throws his drumsticks, and how Omar just smashes his guitar D:

[jsjkd]

poor jim...cedric and omar go apeshit and leave him to try and make something that even sounds like music.

[sebaba001]

@jsjkd jim was a fucking poser.. standing there trying to look cool.. he was holding the band back .. good thing they left him

[08hosavp]

@sebaba001

No I'm fairly sure jsjkd is right, because at some points omar doesn't even have his guitar tuned. I understand a show is suppose to be more than reproducing the cd. But normally someone in the band has to keep things feeling like you know what song you are listening to. So thank you Jim when you were there.

[LASTdaysONe]

fucker did a push up ha

[Astr0wave]

best performance ever on that show!!

[pearljammingrunn]

Fking hell. What an energy! I must've seen this video about 10 times in a row now!!

[Sitch27]

obviously, these are brian may's sons.

[ChizelMonkee]

Relationship of Command still slays me to this day . . .

[ClosetNerdVEVO]

cocaines a hell of a drug

[MrJumentous]

@ClosetNerdVEVO

your comment says it all

[duartedematos]

@ClosetNerdVEVO they did heroine, not cocaine :P

[ASwiftHippie]

BlameTruth

[maylarape618]

Bad ass song. The mars volta and at the drive defines what it means to step outside the box. Check out my profile, trying to get some rep for our band. Comment, suscribe, tell me what you think.

[ilfirim]

this is the real hair-glam!

[nemises000]

Don't get me wrong, I love this band. It's just that I'd like to hear all the lyrics in it's entirety. Some of my favorite parts were missed out because Cedric just ran off to raise hell. There's nothing wrong with that, I'd just rather not have him do that during singing, I don't know.

[MikeMcMikeable]

WTF, I tried to upload their performance on Conan O'brien and it got blocked immediatly due to copyright issues? Can anyone tell me how i can get around this?

[ohilikeyou]

@MikeMcMikeable try using atdi late show one armed scissor and dont put conan on the main title. use it as a tag. that vid used to be up on ytube but got taken down but its on myspace vids but ya try that id say

[MikeMcMikeable]

@ohilikeyou I'll try it out right now.

Thanks!

[123maxgarcia]

god damn my comment still up there!!!!!!!

[denyssmcknight]

Goddamned legendary...



[RAMENn00dleb0y]

singers got nice hair.

i kid.

[4021971]

You can tell that the audience hated it. I loved this band.

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

I'm sorry but that guitar player is annoying -.-

[meANDmyRICE]

@TreverUndeadXpdX its stage charisma, its a miracle that still some guitarist have it. most nowadays just stand still playing chords looking bored... plus, music makes you go crazy, especially when youre the one making it on stage.

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

@meANDmyRICE I get stage charisma but playing randomly isn't charisma.

[souleater1998]

@TreverUndeadXpdX if you have a problem with the band, don't fucking watch the video's douche bag

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

@souleater1998 I don't have a problem with the band at all you dim witted moron, I'm saying the guitarist randomly playing is annoying.

[pridefighter93]

@TreverUndeadXpdX you really dont know anything about omar rodriguez lopez than

[TreverUndeadXpdX]

@pridefighter93 You're right about that.

[tanvo93]

@TreverUndeadXpdX he has a style like no other, an acquired taste if u will, he's doin his own thing and i think it blends in very nicely..id rather him do whatever the hell he is doing here..than playing some catchy melodies riffs that everyone else plays..he actually did pretty well here..

[NU13NU13NU13]

LATE SHOW BROKE UP AT THE DRIVE IN, NEO CONFORMIST SCENE AUDIENCE

[NU13NU13NU13]

WHO CUT CEDRIC BIXLER INTO GREENDAY

[MarcadamiaNut]

0:41 o.O did he just hump the ground?

[quicksilverstew]

I think I like ATDI alot more than I do the Mars Volta. Just more exciting music to me, I think. Not that the Mars Volta don't have the energy this performance has live though.

[twistswitch]

High, i have a song with sweet melodies called I Salute You which inspired me to get all nostalgic and write about my musical upbringing. Its a pretty Rockin' song with a cool video that makes it look like famous musicians are playing my song!! Here plug it in and take a brief trip: watch?v=VXnxOpUfsBQ

[slightdiffusion]

@cannibalsex Are you kidding me? PCP? Really, if they were on PCP this show wouldn't have happened the way it did.

[HookedOnMneumonics]

Cedric has stated multiple times that freebase the drug of choice for At The Drive-In.

[CjlovesKat]

That crowed fucking sucked, I would've literally thrown my fucking chair, slap the host.. grabbed a mic and helped with the screaming and joined the fucking BAND!!! These guys are fucking amazing!! I miss em, and their music and their poetry changed my life!! At the drive in is an underrated band! (was?)

[albeanmagz19]

Whatever he took, I'll buy a dozen

[CLANGxx]

why are you guys arguing about what drug they might be on? Besides, Cedric and Omar have said multiple times that they were heroin junkies.

[TheMadjive]

high voltage indie rock !!!

[23jale]

Now that's what you call a performance! Full on energy and emotion.

[LazersaurusRex]

I will buy anything Omar and/or Cedric  release pretty much ever.

[Tanga26927]

Awesome energy this band! they should meet again, they sounds current

[wowthatsbs]

there arent any bands like this these days... they were such a sick band, mars volta is really good though

[nightviper420]

This song is fucking sick.

[protectiveeconos2]

[GhastlyUnicorn]

wtf is up with those guys. they look like little kids throwing a tantrum

[nuke97]

@GhastlyUnicorn It's called rocking out yah cock gobbler.

[ukr89]

nice hair...

[aristananda]

no drugs..

[MrStocktonian]

I wish music had the same energy nowadays theres probaly great music out there but fuck that shit is hard to find

[aSlightPinch]

@MrStocktonian letlive-- "the sick, sick, 6.8 billion."

[aSlightPinch]

@MrStocktonian I agree though. Letlive is so freaking good, just bought the album and I don't regret a single cent of it. I'm so sick of scene bands, black veil brides, asking alexandria etc etc., basically everything on Warped tour is so useless. ATDI needs a reunion so it can show all the 7th graders in the world what real passion is.

[ohilikeyou]

lettermans tie matches the album cover .. he even looks at it when the camera fades out

[ohilikeyou]

lettermans tie matches the album cover

[clperkins1983]

Omar's Fro!!!!!!!!!! Hell Yeah!!!!!!

[danYOdrummer]

you know its hella loud in there

[babyshaker90210]

I like their current projects and all now, and respect why they broke up, but man, At the Drive In was by far the best shit they had going on, wish I could've seen them live. Hopefully they do a reunion one day

[chocolatefrogs1992]

oh my... did a nuclear explosion jus occur on stage????

[dubingster]

i tako mnogi ne razumiju dok ovo slušaju al nadam se da uživaju u tom osjećaju

[dubingster]

I cant explain how I feel but can say that something is always different and far away waiting for me

[Ugluk666]

I love At the Drive In and I love Omar's guitar playing, but this performance is just horrible (I mean everybody else do great job). And sorry, I don't dig this "passion and emotion". You can be Jimi Hendrix SOMETIMES, but this one's just horrible noise and cacophony. Ruined this track. And believe me - I am fully opened for musical expression and bit of chaos in everything, I hate machines playing music, but this one I just don't like.

[JGill93]

@Ugluk666 Get off your high horse dude. If you didn't like this.. you wouldn't like any other atdi performance.

[Ugluk666]

@JGill93 I'd love their performance, but watching it on video is a different ballpark man.

[zombievsrobot1]

How could you not like this! MARS VOLTA (and sparta) in the making man!

[patwick123456789]

i love this band because there not scared to go crazy and give the crowd a show

[roosterilu]

Dave has never been rocked that hard. I think they curdled the old fuck bags milk!

[SergioGollo]

esta la raja esta wea ... 999 estrellas

[stratocaster1986able]

0:43 Sprawl.

[tokokuken]

I'm normally one to allow everyone their own musical opinions, but if you don't like ATDI you can simply go fuck yourself.

Too bad Letterman is in hell right now. He hates the kids' music. You should've seen him when they had Bright Eyes on there.

[0OvegaO0]

"Unknown origin

Is this the comfort of being afraid?

Solar eclipsed

Black out the vultures

as they wait"

I REMEMBER bein like sixteen when an my older bro would yell this song in my face-

[0OvegaO0]

DAMN THIS SONG IS TOO GNAR!!!!

"THEY HIBERNATE- BUT HAVE THEY KISSED TH GROUND, PUCKER UP AN KISS TH ASPHALT NOW."

[papacap727]

[EyEqUbE1]

[ghafgarion]

OMG Omar sounds amazing here. Dude, is crazy. Love the guitar tone.

[stillMAT1Kk]
