Marcel has legitimate Bongo Fury.

[obeytheory]

I like how everyone goes apeshit during Marcel's solo. Haha.

[sevenneil]

[AlainWinthrope]

[thefunkmaster147]

I'm in love with Juan's Darkstar'd jazz bass

[doublehanded]

When they all start clapping at 1:04 I get goosebumps every time.

[DeafMuteZombie]

i saw em in austin wish i could see em again before i die atleast!

[Lilozito]

EPIC START!!!

AHHHHHHHHH!!!!

[bungie17]

EPIC music

[TMVowns]

THIS is the mars volta.

[GuimoXoX]

É muito foda ver que até a banda empolga com o propio som,muito bom!

[magicbag6790]

at the 5 min mark of part one, Omar completely out play's their sax player during the duel part. Part II has the best parts. its sad how part II has half the views of part one. whatever. This performance is amazing. every note, every melody and rhthym is on purpose. i love it AMP was 1st mars volta album i ever got and its their best stuff. its their most intelluctual stuff. the way this song leads into EL CIERVO VULNERADO is so zen and intellectual. there a band of intellectuals.

[tacomonster98]

I don't remember a 2nd guitarist, is he newer/

[napkinshower]

@tacomonster98 ya but he left recently. he was new a few years back but since the beginning.

[EvilTediz597]

It's Paul Hinojos, the bassist of At the Drive-In, former band of Cedric and Omar. When he left Sparta, he joined the Mars Volta for Amputechture and The Bedlam in Goliath. He does sound manipulation (There's a laptop in front of him) and also contributed rythmn guitar when they played live. He's not in the band anymore as of 2009.

[YngwiesDaughter13]

this man has rediculous hair.

[irollamazon]

This has cedric at his best and he still ruins this band. Omar and the original drummer, Jon Theodore, and that bassist should've made an instrumental band.

[hellojoshymosh]

seriously though, who is drumming?

[12toedfeet]

@hellojoshymosh I'm not sure if somebody replied to this or not...but it's Blake Flemming on drums here.

[hellojoshymosh]

@12toedfeet thanks man, i did some research and found it out for myself eventually. he grooves so hard!

[noliesundead]

like how it starts with a orgasm

[chubetoz0r]

MARCEL MARCEL MARCEL MARCEL MARCEL 1:05

[bludshot823]

Great performance, but Oma'rs guitar is a bit LOUD

[JayJ741]

Omar is actually calm in this song. He's usually jumping the fuck around.

[feartag]

bongo solo nuff said

[kagaingas]

you recorded this with a video camera?...

[imacomputer101]

i guess they're just bad live....

[PISOnorman]

@imacomputer101 go and see 'em... you'll make steps back

[bigbowlowrong]

what is in the bassist's mouth at 1:42? it looks like he's chewing tobacco or something?

also this song owns

[IkeFollower]

@bigbowlowrong I believe it is a pick

[kagaingas]

me la pela el Marcel...

[vegadomis32988]

same here lal6060... they r like my favorite..

[casperado666]

these are a bunch or really unique fucks! awesome

[eeeel]

epicccc

[brainkaperz]

You want to be challenged listen to TMV or At The Drive In. You want easy listening, listen to Led Zeppelin.

[fredzepp1]

@brainkaperz I love all three bands you mentioned. You do know that several members of your "challenging" bands all but worship Zeppelin. I agree with them.

[Alien6100]

It's lame that alot of people of my age (i'm 14) are so closed-minded and have never heard of this band before.

[TheMtc123]

@Alien6100 hey im 15 and im a big fan i have seen them like 3 times live!!

[0899329032]

@Alien6100 so true dude ive only found one other person my age(16) that likes volta and i surprised as hell that i even found one

[vegadomis32988]

anyone that cant apreciate this music cuz they r watching a muffeld performance obviously does not listen to The Mars Volta from on Albums.. Give some respect for this amazing band.. geeze do some research. This performance is bad ass by the way the pongos rock

[BrixSnBs]

Ikey looks like a mad scientist!:D

[m8566]

those bongos are pretty sweet!

[DoubleA77]

holy monkey, that bongo solo

[Lachy101]

up until after first chorus key signature is essentially D Locrician duuuudes! then changes to a mix of B phyrgian and related minor keys after that. pretay simple YO

[WookiePUBE]

@Lachy101 douche.

[NosferatuOfWorms]

@Lachy101 Thsat' not a key signature, those are modes.

[ultimateguitarwizard]

@magicyte were you not loved as a child?

[PaulMercedes]

I have listening to these guys on and off for 6 years now and I still can't figure them out....at all!

[Dw9033]

@PaulMercedes take drugs

[magicyte]

@PaulMercedes Shake your head until grey matter comes out. Only then will you have lost the appropriate intelligence quotient to understand and identify with this garbage...this pure shit noise...this horrible fucking engine with 2 blown cylinders...

[feartag]

i honestly think your a retard for not appreciating this amazing form of music

[fakeaname]

smoke weed... it all becomes more clear.

[deanmetallian]

that's so true

[xmellen]

as cedric has said, and i totally agree with, why would you go to a live show, and pay money to hear exactly what you would hear on the CD? sounds like a joke to meee

i love the put together, clean sound of a mars volta album, but a live show is truely an experience : )

[Circa7]

an experience in a half man.

[napkinshower]

@xmellen true true i totally hear ya. but... are you into Tool? cuz those guys, live, they totally do the Exact same music they do on their studio album, and if you ask any fan of tool, hearing them on a cd and seeing/ hearing them live is 2 completely different experiences. beneficial differences. hearing their cd is one thing but seeing/ hearing them live is a whole whole lot better. yet they do the exact same thing. watching them live blows one away yet they are not doing anything different

[PoeticJustice05]

@napkinshower I beg to differ. Danny Carey says he plays things differently all the time, otherwise he would get bored. The parts essential to the song he plays the same, but a lot of parts he plays differently.

[computervidsfromme]

@napkinshower Idk I always though Tool could be even more legendary if they mixed it up IMO.

[kittenkilla123]

it would be awesome if they were all on the same page. Its like 50% just evereyone soloing at the same time and not in the correct key then the other 50% they come into it and actually play to the rythem. lol I mean if the song is In A then you dont play everthing else in C or B cause it sounds like noise. haha i guess its cool though. I love TMV they should stick with the stuff they are doing on Octahedron

[MrAmputechture]

yes I'd blame the song though. This is one of my least fav TMV songs. The Tetragrammaton on the Henry Rollins show is amazing though and if anyone's got a link of that performance with better non-youtube quality, I would really appreciate it. As far as Octahedron, well it wasn't my most pleasing album but I do like the direction TMV are heading with it. Really makes me look forward to their next album, whenever they make it

[napkinshower]

@MrAmputechture really? interesting. why dont you like day of the baphomets? if you dont mind me asking

[Itriphus]

>they should stick with the stuff they are doing on Octahedron

No, no, no, no. As far as I'm concerned, they need to get back to their Frances The Mute/Amputechture sound. De-Loused was great, but their sound matured in those two albums, and became The Mars Volta I love.

And the live versions are going to sound like noise because of the fact that they improv 70 percent of the song.

Finally, songs are not written in only one key, unless you still live in the 1700s. Or you write shitty music.

[WhiteKnight4171988]

Some songs are written in no key. Doesn't get any freer than that. Also they don't improv 70 percent of the song. It's very structured accept for a few solo sections where the soloist can improv through the chord changes. This call this the solo section. All of their songs are clean and well structured, it can just be hard get a hold of that structure if your an average music lover (i.e. only listen to it not learn why it works) or lower.

[Itriphus]

I was just exaggerating the fact that they improv a lot live; 70% is by no means even an estimate. The studio albums do have a lot of complex structure, though, and the fact that I can dissect a song for a particular interesting instrument like the saxophone, or listen to the whole group in one big wave of musical ecstasy is pretty awesome. The same just can't be said for many other modern bands. There's no enjoyment in listening to someone palm mute power chords for two and a quarter minutes.

[magicyte]

@WhiteKnight4171988 Every song is written in a key. Just because you haven't heard the key before doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Repitition of notes automatically denotes a key signature...they just change their key 50 times during the song. Interesting though is that if you listen to a grade 3 kid playing the recorder, you can witness the same style of playing.

[WhiteKnight4171988]

Trust me when it comes to key signature's there's not much your average college music student hasn't heard of. I was referring to free jazz, which has no rules or set structures. Look it up. Sometimes there's literally no use in designating a key signature. This is used a lot in orchestral music when the key changes so often it'd be senseless to designate it. This has a key signature. A lot of other music does not. Sorry but the mars volta isn't the most out of the box stuff, though, it is godly

[magicyte]

@WhiteKnight4171988 I'm just baffled by how anybody can associate with this...sure...behind the distortion there's something...behind the percussion there's something...but like right now I hear drums..and I here this bongo type thing...and all it realy sounds like is a heavy reverb...almost as if the bongo's could've not been there at all. I honestly think that for people to enjoy this they have to be slightly psychotic...since most genius works are written by psychotics...social deviants.

[finlan9]

Wow!

[Heathensrule]

Wow!

[Empofarector]

Marcel Rodriguez Lopez \m/

[superhface]

marcel is such a fox. all day long. damn.

[renegade687]

god this for the most part sucks!!!!!! and mars volta is my favorite band

[entropiavideos]

0:00 oh si si!

[airstation828]

is there another prog rock band out there that has a bongo solo?

this is fucking sex to listen too!

[lucasguera92]

0:37 king crimson mood ;)

[mrgreen05]

soooooooooooooooooooo true!

[Empofarector]

21 century schiozid man xD, THE MARS VOLTA RULEZZZZZZ

[HispanicImpression]

The bongo solo is so sick within the whole composition... rocks my sox of every time...

[shaolinkungfu666]

@HispanicImpression i liked it better as a timbale solo with bongos backing, like on the album. bongos aren't meant to solo in that way. that's all rudiments, and as solos go, it lends itself more to timbales.

also, as a percussionist, i can say that the solo in itself is just more comfortable with the hembra on the left, like a timbale setup. it just makes more sense to play it on timbales.

[Watiberto]

" AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! "

[TMV4Life]

That part has always been one of my faves, whether I hear it on the record or live, so bad ass!!!!

[DeafMuteZombie]

@Watiberto AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHhhh­hhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!

[tiffalynski]

damn.......

[paichaz]

there is a better version of this video but i couldnt find it...anyone???

[Binerules91]

i think you don't have ears enough

[hskyo]

Believe me, sometimes that many instruments aren't enough.

TMV simply rocks.

If they're not your cup of tea, just search for another video.

[clipcalhoon]

holy shit lol this so awsome, they go crazy during the bongos hahah love it

[BigTymerPimp]

This was their warm-up song. When they do Tetragrammaton after this, it is absolutely flawless!

[lal6060]

Wow, I really appreciate their music. It makes me feel excited, incredible, and sometimes even uncomfortable. Isn't that what music does if it's good? Evoke all kinds of emotion. I don't study music, but I know what makes me FEEL. I don't care how others feel about TMV simply because I am happy to listen.

[p3droski]

@lal6060 Your right...i am studying to be a music teacher/pro guitarist, which means i know bout music stuff, lol but music isn't sound music IS feeling...and if it can provoke emotion it is GOOD MUSIC :)

[defyvoxpopuli]

blake shits on this song twice just in this performance. what a baddie.

[axzck]

epic bongos solo!

[HispanicImpression]

I saw them live for two times now. Fucking awesome ! But they really need well sounding locations... if the acoustic sux, it's hard to enjoy this happening from an acoustic point of view...

[clockmastah]

now i wish i could play guitar like omar, dance like cedric, sing like cedric, and play bongos like...whatever his name is hahaha :DD

[axzck]

Marcel.

[FxC123]

Cedric is such a great singer! I wish i had his voice!

[MUGGS077]

Bongos >

[DTRemcoG]

One of myy favorite parts that TMV has ever written =D

[taylorbortnerathing]

why does everybody assume that in order to make experimental music you have to do drugs? omar just writes what he wants to write because he enjoys it and you dont need to smoke weed for ideas to come to your head

[Amantillad0]

i mos def agree with the you dont have to smoke weed to write good experimental music...but im sure these guys have smoked some good stuff

[nin456]

This is the shittest band I have ever heard in my life.

[DTRemcoG]

Hahahahahaaha xD.. One day you'll understand =D

[nin456]

I'm pretty sure I already understand. I study music, contemporary and classical, and am really into math rock and prog. rock bands like Battles. I was really excited to hear Mars Volta as I'v heard so many people raving them. All I really see is some prick prancing about with his guitar and playing totally nonsensical chords with stupid unnecessary jazz impro. over the top and hair. Thomas Pridgen is an insanely sick drummer and he is completely wasting his time with this shit band.

[jmarsvolta]

Since you study music it must be.

[nin456]

Look, me studying music means nothing, I know that. I just hate it when I say I don't like a band, and some twat comes along and says its because I don't 'understand' their music. What the hell is that supposed to mean? Am I not in the small group of intellectual elite who supposedly are more in touch (with whatever it is) than the rest of the population?

[jmarsvolta]

Then why did you even mention that you study music?

[ultimateguitarwizard]

it means yer a prick!

[nin456]

Yes it does actually!

[fatassproductions1]

you change what i think aboute them completely...

no one gives a shit what you think

 u can say all uyou want aboutr them but do you realy think that it will effect anyone who likes this band. its just a waist of your owne time to watch a band you already hate then just conplaine aboute them. who gives a shit if you study music obviously your reviews are based on opnion so u dont actualy no music well,

[t4nith]

If you judge the mars volta based on this performance, which isnt one of their better songs, and which has absolutely appaling audio quality, then you are a fool. Honestly listen to their studio albums and youll get a much better impression.

[MPrint666]

Hey, watch it. This happens to be my favorite song, it has almost everything! The audio is quite horrible though.

[JODQ11]

The rig with the mexican flags i from who?

[rugby12345abcde]

the mars volta is almost too epic for live shows. unless it's their show, their headline, their sounds guys.

[nin456]

How what why?!

[rob5000x1]

whoever did the sound on henry rollins show is fucking retarded lol

[homicidalmonkey]

yeah he didnt do them justice. i couldnt hear the beginning bass solo and the bongos sounded like shit. then again he was probably used to mic'ing the same old douche bag rock bands.

[rob5000x1]

LMAO yeah really, its awesome that mars volta was on there, and peeping tom was really good on here too but other then that, not to much good stuff

[AdrianAtTheDisco]

uhh, dinosaur jr?

[rob5000x1]

they played on henry rollins? ill have to look that up

[verdenodela1]

Yeah, it kept panning out. Multiple times during Marcel's solo, which is a highlight of the song.

Marcel needs to do more bongos and have more solos, he's under-appreciated.

[RastafariPoet]

Hey atleast they arent stiff like most of other bands in the world today.

[mikinike66]

whaa? no bass intro???

[Katank404Zangetsu]

watch part one but u can't even hear anyway due to omar's guitar.

[angelofdeath014]

yeah haha omar is so loud in the mix.. even when he was doing that widdley diddley shit with the delay.. still cool though i guess

[erocker2020]

my fav TMV song!

[babyshaker90210]

Anyone else think at some point in time they started doing a lot of acid/drugs and that's why they sound so different from At The Drive In?

[stereoplastic]

Well Im pretty sure they quit doing opiate related and hard drugs after jeremy died but there is definitely a strong odor of marijuana coming through my computer screen.

[Maloulouise]

They stopped doing drugs after their friend died of an overdose. They did drugs when they played in At The Drive In, but now as The Mars Volta they are clean.

[babyshaker90210]

Eh I don't know if I believe that.

[Maloulouise]

Its just a matter of reading about them on e.g wikipedia, and you will get to know a lot more.

[babyshaker90210]

I can't read

[1000445555555]

hahahaha

[xVaultx]

They DEFINITELY are not clean. Cedric's been seen taking bong hits on stage. I'm pretty sure they cut down on the more dangerous stuff though.

[stratocastermaster2]

they said that they only smoke weed now.

[plaguelandscapes]

They gave up opiates

[DangerRifai]

BONGO SOLO!

[pinotostado]

This band is pure awesomeness, is Music made poetry, the poetry of life and everything valuable about the world

[ryanwilhite]

I think the awesomeness of the bongo solo actually tops that of the intro bass solo.

[TheIsaacEaton]

starting at 1:05 its like the most mexican thing i have ever seen in my life. i love this band.

[alfonsopumpkin]

marcel is great!!

[sdfgshjg]

lmao... so ridiculous.

[pepelant]

when de-loused realeased i thought this people will never get higher than this, but thank mother nature i was wrong

i never was so wrong in my life

[SunsetSideVet]

Why do they have Mexican flags?

[Cizzie888]

because they come from denmark

[lrzcan]

niceeee

[verdenodela1]

Juan is Mexican.

[barrywinehousexp]

Mexicans speak Danish, pero no puedo hablarlo. :D

[Rockabilly500]

doens't get any more latin than this!!

STILL WAITING FOR MARS VOLTA/COHEED AND CAMBRIA TOUR!!!

[JusXcore]

This.

So hard.

[DeLoused777]

...which hopefully never happens...

[Rockabilly500]

Wow you really do hate music don't you? Wishing that two amazingly talented groups of musicians never coincide for an awesome celebration music

[soleck1]

arre putos!!

[0008brown8000]

I love Marcel's Bongo solo!

[fantomasxii]

Wow!!! I dont remember the mars volta sounding so shitty when I've seen them live. Zoinks, what happened?

[hunnybunny21]

if you see them live its for the visual aspect!

also, you might of been stoned. j/k but maybe :D
