At the Drive-in - Arcarsenal (Live @ Big Day Out '01)

[CerpinTaxt1983]

Omar has some sweet moves in the begining of the song

[CerpinTaxt1983]

if they open with this can u imagine how fucking nuts the crowd is gonna go

[TheBeenCrazy]

Out of all the bands playing at coachella im most excited to see ATDI. Cant wait til april!

[vastir420]

Come back to Texas ATDI

[croops]

I was at this show - It's been nearly 10 years to the day! I've spent most of that time reconstructing my brain coz it was BLOWN AWAY by how good ADI were.

Sadly, idiots started moshing half way through the set and Cedric cracked it and walked off - they never finished the set.

[ska95124]

Now, that's exactly what a band most look like on a live performance.

[GoGeR030]

Great!

[manueldelsol12]

Omar is such a fuckin good dancer ! From 0:42 to 1:06 he's the James Brown of alternative music.

[RolexTharsus]

Chuffed they're back. Really hope there's UK dates, seeing as they decided to go on their indefinite hiatus a week before I was due to see them in Cardiff so never got the full ATD-I experience in the flesh...

[MrWiiPS360]

Who else gets an MC5 feel watching this.

[SnakeJuice720]

@MrWiiPS360 I'm positive they were an influence on them

[RowJoe47]

My life may be complete if I see them live.

[edwardcurtiss]

AHHHH NO CAN AFFORD COACHELLA COME TO PORTLAND AGGGHHHH WILL NOT SLEEP TONIGHT, STAY UP THINKING ABOUT AT THE DRIVE-IN

[kreuzberg77]

Bring on Coachella!

[AwesumLittleRedTruck]

I just hope there not one of those bands that gets back together for a couple of festival spots and thats it. A tour is a must. Seeing them in some tiny club would be mind blowing.

[mikesuszek]

Coachella. April 15, 2012.

[thejoamiq]

I NEVER THOUGHT THERE WAS ANY CHANCE I MIGHT EVER SEE THIS LIVE YES YES YES

[Sarasmask]

Long live the Rain Dance!!!

[johnr2d2r2d2]

I CANT WAIT TO FUCKEN SEE THEM LIVE!!!!

[antistarlet]

TOTALLY MENTAL!!!

[DeficitAttentionProg]

At The Drive In are back!

After 11 years on separation

Amazing News

[angelo1593]

@DeficitAttentionProg So happy right now

[jakcha]

@DeficitAttentionProg i'm ready for indio for the first time in my life

[Lukelegs]

I was at this concert and I'd never before and never again seen anything like it

[stefXxify]

holy guacamole

[lits2722]

That fucking dance.

[ls883]

y u no make sweet music anymore?

[equatetoevil]

THE BEST DANCER I'VE EVER SEEN!

[AynIsBullshit]

can some one please tell the chord for the chorus when he screams BEWARE!! is it a a c major 7th chord palying?

[Tatek001]

@AynIsBullshit Sound like it. I don't believe the guitarists are playing the tonic though so just 12th fret on the G, B and high E strings. Could be wrong, that's what I'm hearing though.

[jacro12]

cedric and omar the orignal part rockers? 0:28  to 0:40

[icrabtree8203]

47 people hate their lives.



[kiggittykyle]

everytime I watch this and I hear that incoherent talking and the drums behind it im just like "O fuk"

[LordKaninchen]

i can't get enough



[isoleamebuthappysoul]

@phayzejaymz I agree, they aren't straight edge. Cedric & Omar took drugs for years (LSD, Opioids). However, when Cedric said "I'm totally wired, can't you see?", He was quoting a song by the Fall, whom he mentioned when he said that.

[NL31011974]

So he really likes tomato huh! (2:14) good for you my friend ;)

[TheTwilightalehouse]

There is a few times in a few bands careers when something hits u and you think what the fuck was that,,,,,,,this is one of them....enjoy

[JonCities]

mais lendario que isto nao ha

[Mrgyn]

Have you ever tasted Scientology?

[hammeredbro95]

Omar's hair was so massive haha

[vovadrama]

In terms of awesomeness this goes alongside by Neurosis "Locust Star" Ozzfest perfrormance.

[rocketskates23]

omg people...there's much more to ATDI than just cedric and omar

[WeaponX1986]

So many years ago and STILL I can't think of any bands right now that put on a show like this. RAW energy.

[Mcmotherfuckingrory]

@WeaponX1986

Check out Adebisi Shank. Irish math rock band. Find a live version of Masa or Colin Skehan. Silly good.

[VaZZim]

This live show is sick

[paulrichardhammond]

one of the most important bands of the last 15 years.

[Tool9395]

so much better than any mars volta shit

[PatrikLarssonRang]

Omars Dance!!! :D:D <3

[Dennissays]

2:42...that is all.

[x1x2x3r]

♥♥ D:

[mulefa1]

lol and i thought jimi hendrix was wasted when he played live

[LordKaninchen]

great song

[kidkardona]

THIS WAS SPARTA, *kicks guy into moshpit

[patrickbrokenmirror]

Omar shufflin' like a boss

[chaceurs]

the intro of the song always cracks me up:D haha! fuckin' awesome!!

[NickB33]

How the hell does omar not rip out his guitar chord?? he stands all over it!

[stabu18]

Omar's legs! XD

[nasalscarecrow]

I miss this band.

[OGanj280]

I know Cedric and Omar probably wouldn't  give a fuck but THIS IS SO FUCKING SICK!!!! unfortunately I was about 6 when all this was badassness was going on... Thanks mom and dad:/

[maklo]

DANCING MACHINES!! hahaaha

[LegendaryWeiner]

i could watch live videos of these all day, most entertaining live band ever

[NuggiezVEVO]

it exactly how i dreamed it'd be 

[MarcadamiaNut]

lol wtf? at 2:45

[jumbocrunk]

@MarcadamiaNut lol best part of this video

[MarcadamiaNut]

Holy fuck! SO MUCH ENERGY WHY CANT BANDS LIKE THIS STILL EXIST!?

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

[MsSassin]

BAILE DEL AFRO CON RETRASO MENTAL

[julesickdrums]

@MsSassin a que tu puta madre bailaba peor cuando te llevaba en el vientre

[MEEOOWMEOW]

anyone know what guitar the afro dude is playing? it looks like a jaguar and a mustang at the same time

[Eshttzer]

@MEEOOWMEOW Squier Supersonic. Those are discontinued.

[lifesglorydead]

@MEEOOWMEOW it's a Squier Super-Sonic

[theonlyennix]

oh shit, best song i've heard last 5 years :) it drag me out and in upside down and up, grap me from the neck and looked me in the eyes!

[brak54321]

its The Wiggles!

[isoleamebuthappysoul]

@lamcola65 People talk about them all them time, you ignorant jerk. You don't have to be popular to be good

[shuraked]

FOREVA YOUTH

[TheMadjive]

this is the way of rock'n'roll !

[WhenWorldsCollide91]

I LOVE both Mars Volta and At The Drive In. However, it amazes me every time seeing them live, because they step it up a notch regardless of how good they are on a record.

[Shoobinah]

@WhenWorldsCollide91 agreed

[Iamcola65]

yeah if theyre so good then how come no one ever talks about them lol now why dont you thikn of that 1

[drakepcj]

@Iamcola65 stop trolling idiot

look at all thier live vids and the amount of views

its more than obvious people always talk about them

[Iamcola65]

@drakepcj huh?

[poopdroop69]

HAHAHAHA LOLOLO WTF WAS CEDRIC DOING WITH HIS MOUTH HAHAHAHA

[nirewolf0]

and to think all this was happening while I was stuck in high school worrying about stupid shit... this is pure life and energy embodied in music, and I'm just glad I can still enjoy it even though I can't see them live. I also can't believe anyone can dance like that and still play a guitar like he does... omar and cedric... just wow

[AphoticAgony]

so much ENERGY

[jackcfilms]

Anyone notice the wiggles sign?

[Aquaman12364]

@jackcfilms haha i notice it every single time i watch it

[chicoy12]

2:40 cedric's best part :D

[macabresoul1]

Tourettes: The band

[zaul2000]

so many drugs ;D

[NosferatuOfWorms]

@zaul2000 A bit too much if I may say.

[MurdaInc25]

@zaul2000 They're straith edge.

[retrohippie]

@MurdaInc25 They're not "straightedge" and you should stop using that name as well, seeing how ridiculous it even is...

Marijuana still lingers throughout the Mars Volta to this day.

As for ATD-I........believe me, opiates were (at least) involved....

[phayzedjaymz]

@MurdaInc25 HAHA

Immediately after this clip ends, Cedric says "I'm totally wired, can't you see?"

[jschristian44]

ah teh feetwork is epic!

[virtualvoid01]

This is why this show goes into my 'all time favourite gigs' list, even though they cut the set short after only about 20 mins!!!

[TMVowns]

if they did reunite, it wouldnt be like this. they wouldnt be going fucking nuts live.

[kayoroguez]

@TMVowns you jackass have you not seen Mars Volta

[WootZillza]

AFROS

AFROS EVERYWHERE!!!!



[keef78]

@WootZillza LMFAO!

Im afroed out dude.

Drum kit handstand, cheek spread, mic lickin extravaganza my friend!

[VittorioNJ]

I'm pretty sure my head just exploded. I need a cigarette right now

[borbaluv]

scag is one hell of a drug

[carloshhache]

2:55 so high



[JourneyAnyWay]

I'm sorry Mars Volta... BUT THIS WAS THE SHIT!!!!

[DGog224]

nothing compares to the energy omar and cedric put into their performances

[ZombieSlayer93]

Carnage!

[17Revolution76]

You've got to be completely retarded to dislike this video. These guys did great.

[greaking12]

LMAO @ 2:44 hahahahahahaha what a freak

[taproot17]

FUCKING INSANE!!omar dance with guitar like no one!!!ATDI is much better than mars volta..i hope ATDI comeback one day,and hope they come to Portugal xD

[randymarsh151]

if you can sit still thru this you have no soul

[Frenzalbears]

35 people have NFI

and ATDI>Mars Volta. Not even a contest

[crazyloverboy0808]

i would thumbs up @spokenout24 , but i really dig where the mars volta have been going and am more excited to see what they will come up with within the following years.... at the drive in was what started it all but now they are doing bigger and greater things (well, at least cedric and omar)

[s1ayd]

so much energy

[cm410856]

from about 0:30 to 1:08 omars dancing is epic

[sircambam]

Ive been watching this like 8- 10 times a week.

[MsNatakins]

this makes me happy

[FuryoftheSound]

Omar's dancing is amazin

[treeburning]

At The Drive In was one a of a kind machine. The cogs apart will not transcend time like this does. However much respect to Sparta and The Mars Volta. If you like these guys you may enjoy treeburning...

[andre230994]

Why can't The Mars Volta and Sparta make a live concert just once?!? Playing Mars Volta and Sparta songs, then end the concert with classic "At the Drive In" songs HOLLY SHIT, I JUST GOT AN ORGASM

[andre230994]

Why can't The Mars Volta and Sparta make a live concert just once?!? Playing Mars Volta and Sparta songs, then end the concert with classic "At the Drive In" songs HOLLY SHIT, I JUST GOT AN ORGASM

[kittenkilla123]

cant fight against the youth, cause were strong and were rude rude people.

[mresplendent]

They are so much better together than as two ok bands.

[kroschy82]

saw them live at the gig before this one, at Gold Coast. They didnt charge off the stage after about 15 mins though, played their whole set for that one

[jonahisbreakdancing]

@kroschy82

i am literally , soooo fucking jealous right now dude, what was there setlist for that night in GC - shit i am shit!

[obeytheory]

Cocaine is one helluva drug.

[kideyeball87]

Omar is doing the new-born calf dance..

[443556jack]

02:44 wtf? hahaha

[mmykolas]

Fuck Sparta and The Mars Volta - THIS is the band!

[armandozapata]

¡¡¡Exploded on sight like a molotov cocktail!

[ryanchippypearce1980]

This is back when the Big Day Out organizers gave a shit. Getting new, fresh, exciting bands to play. Unlike now, when all they do is hit the speed-dial.

'Oh hey Muse/Dizzee Rascal/ Peaches. Say, you've been here 3 times already, you keen for a 4th?'

[Wanafistfight]

Video gives whole new meaning to the word epic

[jimxevil]

It sounds like I just popped in the album..

[spastic017]

This is crazy!!!

[edawwade]

The Wiggles stage!

[DandelionVolta]

Just because ATDI re unites it doesn't mean it's going to be as crazy as this, they're almost in their 40's now, this was almost 10 years ago.

The Mars Volta was also crazy when during their first years (check Cicatriz or Roulette at Big Day Out for example)

[tremulant2388]

Fuck, I miss Omar's hair.

[blackplastic7]

wikipedia wasn't lieing when they said they were known for chaotic live shows

[autorelocater]

34 dislikes? ...those ppl must of been sum of Nicki Minaj's fans. poor chumps dont know wut real music is.

[MattRomeroMusic]

legendary 

[gipsyoftheyear]

this sounds awfull.

[GIVEACCESNOW]

I love the way Omar dances.

[LessthanJake14]

This is like the musical version of epilepsy.

Brilliant.

[huelse]

boy those moves I just don´t know how

[hektorlinko]

These crackhead bums suck ass. Music for losers that have no hope to pass a drug test to find a career.

[housedimir66]

@hektorlinko you're either a troll or don't appreciate artistic music, either way, leave this place or forever hold your peace.

[ScottDavidKeller]

@hektorlinko I just got in to nursing school. I'm not loser or crackhead.  I just appreciate the passion they but in to their music.

[junio853]

CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAZY

[alfaripopo]

I'm sure I'm experiencing a contact high by watching this

[adegamisoumounopano]

these boys must like their speed.

[sixpack18]

I find it hard to believe that Omars playing guitar throughtout the whole performance lol

[WarsawSynth]

Omars got mad dance skills. Or he's frying really hard on acid. Whichever.

[skimaskready]

FUCKIN LAME ASS CROWD

[falcone116]

What were they on?

[skimaskready]

@falcone116 AIR pure AIR

[osemaster]

Damn Omar can dance. He feels the music so hard man.

[elydawat]

WTF was that???

so crazy and different..

me gusta!

[grayk02]

@moss85 actually recreational drugs like amphetamine and barbiturates could be bought by anyone over the counter in the 1950s....fking heaps easier than today. Although i think opiates (Cedric and Omar's drug of choice in the ATDI days) were controlled back then

[spokenout24]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT. What did I just watch. Press thumbs up if you want this band to reunite.

I wished I saw them live.

[Fatmann55]

@spokenout24 I want At The Drive-In and Bear Vs Shark to both get back together then tour with each other. Its safe to say we could all die happy people.

[spokenout24]

@Fatmann55 Why does bear vs shark sound so familar for. I gotta check them again. Yeah but At the drive in needs to get back, theres just some bands you need in life and this is one.

[Fatmann55]

@spokenout24 Bear Vs Shark is alot like ATDI. With the sreaming vocals but not screamo and the high energy in every song. Both bands are very similar and very good. Which is why they need to tour together.

[spokenout24]

@Fatmann55 Cool I'll check them out. :)

[spokenout24]

@spokenout24 LET'S TRY AND GET THE THUMBS UP TO 300 OR MORE. MAYBE THE BAND WILL SEE IT. AND KNOW HOW MUCH THEY NEED TO GET THE FUCK BACK TOGETHER.

[from93till]

@spokenout24 Thumbs down for asking for thumbs up.

[FuryoftheSound]

@from93till

Lol I do that too.

[neiltay2002]

"Stay on your own side of the stage, you honky rhythm department!"

One can certainly see a differential in flair between the two camps here.

Both Mars Volta and Sparta are worthy bands, but surely nothing beats this?

[loeep]

@neiltay2002

Both bands were def. better together . It's too bad egos and creativity get in the way.

[N1590]

@neiltay2002 Race has nothing to do with it.

If you were the bass player, would you honestly want to stand next to omar and cedric while they were doing that shit? i didnt think so.

[neiltay2002]

@N1590 I would probably hide behind the amps myself. I know race isn't the issue, I was kidding.
