The Mars Volta @ Oslo 29.11.09- Cicatriz ESP (1/3)

[magicbag6790]

Theodore = Amazing at latin, salsa, face paced beats.

Prigden = Best show off drummer Volta has had

Elitch = Compliments Volta better than Prigden. (but not as good as theodore my opinion)

[kenraq2000]

@kymusabi I agree. I'm a massive Thomas Pridgen fan and was devastated to find out I wouldn't be seeing him play with MV @ the BDO, but after watching Dave Elitch play I fell in love all over again. He had such a great vibe on stage and was a joy to watch. I'm really looking forward to their next studio release that hopefully includes him. Speaking of Pridgen...does anybody know what happened with him and MV?

[UnfluffyGarage]

@kenraq2000 if you look him up at wikipedia, you'll see his statement about his relationship to the band:)

[kenraq2000]

Thanks mate! Strange statement, but informative all the same.

[ethanfox369]

chud89- are you judging the drummer by this youtube vid, or did you see him live? I know for a fact that he's a pretty fucking incredible drummer.

[marc777danielle]

don't even bother. people who know whats up know that dave's a beast.

[TheScapAttack]

@marc777danielle straight up dude.

[gbakerdrums]

@marc777danielle

dave used to be my teacher. i know whats up. fool sheds with the dopest drummers around. he's a fucking BEAST!

[michaeltherory]

it's all about juan right here

[NotYourBiggestFan]

Something was obviously bothering the band during the show but Juan and Cedric (especially) were stellar.

[DangerRifai]

Truth. Pure groove.

[5targazer]

Cedric loox like Jeff Lynn

[vee125]

Omar plays like shit.

[canthinkverywell]

as in "the shit" or "shitty"? because he is the shit. dont diss him, he's the greatest recorded guitarist of all time.

[tinneberg]

@5targazer Check out the inner sleeve of Xenophanes, omar looks exactly like jeff lynne!

[ABRIcations]

I was at this show. Cedric struggled with the high notes, the light/sound crew didn't seem to know shit about what they were doing, and Omar was definitively somewhere else in his head, probably thinking about his upcoming movie.

[kymusabi]

this is just like when thomas started drumming for the band, now this happens and everyone's crazy about the new drummer.

[marc777danielle]

dave's a monster in his own right. dave being in this band actually makes more sense to me than thomas, no disrepect to thomas.

[kymusabi]

I saw them at BDO and dave was so tight within the band, I hope that they keep him for an album.

[chud89]

this drummer has proven nothing! period there new album will speak for this drummer if it sucks im gonna be very dissapointed i miss TP i sensed he was perfect for them because of the two albums they puled out back to back i thought he was there new solid drummer and i was so excited and now hes gone and this guy comes in? dont know well wait !

[shiitaco]

ha they look super excited to be playing...NAHT

[pimpriggsley]

this dudes drumming is boring... minimalist... pridgen was over the top, but still really entertaining.

im afraid its gonna be a hard feat to find a drummer that meshs with the band as much as theodore did thos years back

[jarenlorenz]

@pimpriggsley You all do understand that Dave Elitch was the drummer for the mars volta before Thomas Pridgen?

[jarenlorenz]

@pimpriggsley You all do understand that Dave Elitch was the drummer for the mars volta before Thomas Pridgen?

[The4thGuy]

@jarenlorenz No he wasn't.

[jmmatos23]

Did they ever played Cicatriz with Thomas?

[TheScapAttack]

@jmmatos23 Of course they did. Not sure about a video of it, but i personally saw them do it  live.

[stratocastermaster2]

i think they played it once or twice with thomas in 07

[khessemer08]

@jmmatos23 nope

[stratocastermaster2]

watch?v=vbYo86xGUos

how about now

[MrCotopaxi]

Can any1 tell me why Thomas was fired?

[RobotTalkCerpinTaxt]

So... Adrian terrazas????

[redpartyclothes]

i'm looking forward to seeing this new drummer live tomorrow. i'm hoping he understands what dynamics are and doesn't just dick over all the quiet bits like Pridgen used to

[Flubbman97]

He doesn't. Right? ;)

[DeLoused777]

what camera is this?

[dannyamirian]

though they look bored, it sounds great.

[catinmysoup]

Never thought I'd see Cedric stand still like that during a performance...

[gtralisfr69]

They look so bored.

[ryz1001]

It stops just before what would be the 'jamming' bit. Damn.

[NotYourBiggestFan]

click on part 2.

[ezion]

i love how that guy comes out @1:09 and gives cedric a refill. that's all he does. he was hired to only do that. lol

[Compressionistist]

I cheered and pointed every time he did that in Stockholm! ^^

[Lateralus63]

I'd do that job. How would the job advert look?

ATTENTION :

Looking for teacup refiller for one of the most kickass bands of this decade!

I'd do it.

[Pampermelon]

haha that guy did that at the show I saw them at. Either Cedric really likes tea, or he's got a really bad cold...

[1blackguitar1]

tea with honey helps soothe your throat

[TheCruddyBug]

He drinks it for his throat.

[tonyAJ420]

Yes many singers do it.
