The Mars Volta - Cygnus... [Omar Solo] Barakaldo 31-7-08

[kubiksahara]

Thank you!...whoever shot this video!>...it is amazing to see Omar in such pure Action state.!

[ALLCAPSARCHER09]

does anyone else think Omar has really developed his own musical language? His playing has a little in common with blues, and rock, and definitely salsa...but I've never heard this kind of "fluid dissonance" anywhere else. some of his note collections are just out of this world. I put him on par with Coltrane.

[ALLCAPSARCHER09]

omar, vaya confieso

[kubiksahara]

4:07 The Best note(s) ever!

[kubiksahara]

3:25 great!!

[ThegodisAbraxas]

flagged as inappropriate. cuz that guitar was violated sexually.

[antibalas79]

he sounds alot like robert fripp and john mclaughlin

[rantsbooger]

Deantoni is the shizzzzzzzzzzzz,classic speed vs.substance and feel i listen to deantoni play with ORL group and i was BLOWN away my fav since danny carrey or maybe even bill buford!

[MPrint666]

@theawesomeness212 Nail on the head, Deantoni is the best fit since Theodore.

[Seagerash]

man this solo gets good. great video man

[luvabean]

what a beautiful capture of a beautiful performance.

[AphoticAgony]

omar reminds me of Frank Zappa. He's so.. spastic

[blurredarms]

I used to think it sucked to not have been around when all the greats were making magic...Page, Clapton, Green, etc. But screw that...Omar is like no other.

[lee2dope]

He fucks that guitar like it has a rubber vag on the back...and kills the neck like he's choking a bitch.. we love you omar. :D

[JohnFrusciantefreak]

das ist nicht von DIESER welt!!! goil!!

[vanvlishter]

he should try to play with a violin bow like page, it would be really mind blowing!

[epiphysis]

that right there would've paid for my ticket to this show.

[shurikensyco]

The only guitarist that causes that "nothing else matters" feeling when he plays. A true psychedelic experience.

[defragen1]

my favorite guitarist :D

[irrabmaralekim]

I really wish I could be like him, he's fantastic

[xIAMDAVEx]

one of the best things about thier shows are the solos, they are never the same, even if its the same song, i wish they did more solos like this on their albums, or mabey more live cds.. i can only listen to these on youtube lol

[dammboy3]

[clipcalhoon]

[JOKERH4H4]

He is my god.

[FloraMcGrath]

Qué infinita envidia me da no haber estado ahi, viendo cantar a la guitarra de Omar...

[andigrunge]

ahi estuve yo compañera/o un conciertazo... despues de verlos en madrid... tenia que repetir .. yme traslade desde Valencia la Pais vasco solo para verlos

[CerpinTaxt1983]

I love when Omar goes off into 5 min solos like that. When i used to listen to at the drive in i never thought he would be the kind of gutiar player that he is today with the volta. He is pretty fucking goos in my book lol.

[wakkawakka666]

the best thing about him is that he doesn't sound at all like any other guitarists

[Guitarmonade]

@wakkawakka666 Well, in some ways it reminds me of John Frusciante, as he is influenced by John, and John is influenced by Omar. But Omar is definitely one of the most creative guitarists out there, extremely original.

[JOKERH4H4]

Exactly... I never saw him to be a stand out guitar player that could go on these amazing solos... It's just... AHhhhhhhh :) Greatness to my ears.

[obdandzigzag]

yea it would be interesting to be around for like acrobatic tenement or in casino out and watch them progress into this. id be like wahtttttttttt

[SIEG32]

a big no no no NO FUCKING NO...

[monkfishstuff]

[bihurgunea]

Un concierto mitico!!!

[shankie420]

how does he do it?? i mean like i know hes a fuckin genius but, come on, no body is just that amazing. he must have learned somewhere. who ever taught him... needs to teach all the rest of us

[veniyanwarrior]

Holy Thomas Pridgen...

Oh, I guess Omar wasn't bad either.

[MichaelHotlips]

[mileycyrussuckedmeof]
