Okay guys so you have about 3 minutes to play, so if you could do one of your shorter songs?..."Eh no we're just going to play our nine minute one twice as fast."
@MrThoughtsfortoday They were the best performance of the night, and performances like this make you want to see them live. Some people prefer bands that sound just like the album while standing like statues on stage. I happen to love the chaotic energy that At The Drive-In and The Mars Volta provided, and so do many other people.
@nathangray12 I know, i was being sarcastic to @MrThoughtsfortoday since he was saying they are terrible live. His idea of good live is probably playing every single note just like the CD.
@FZmustacheFZ It's from the Latin Video Music Awards that originally aired live on MTV2. This particular video is taken from the re-airing of it on MTV. The MTV version was edited and used different camera angles from the original MTV2 airing.
loved this band when jon was on the drums. but cedrics antics can't hide his bad voice. the records sound great dont get me wrong. live he can't pull it off
@papillon786 There's a difference between not being able to pull it off live and not being able to pull it off live because you're spending more time on stage antics. Sure, if he stood there all the time, he'd be able to sing it fine. But he jumps around, and is therefore more out of breath, etc. He's made the decision that stage antics are important to him. I like it to sound good, but I also enjoy watching him dance, so I'm generally okay with the performance, long as the vocals are acceptable
I love this band, each performance by them I see, I fall more in love with them. They are so honest on stage and so professional and engaged with music at the same time. All of them are great musicians. And by the way, OMAR IS GOD, I love how he dances and how he messes around with his guitar, scratching to make her scream. Absolutely amazing.
@TripwireAlarm How can they be awesome when they're out of sync and out of tune? It's a lot of people on stage and it's like they're fighting to see who's louder, but in a very un-tight way. I'm not a fan of Dream Theater, man, but this? I listen to AC/DC and the Sex Pistols, but this hurts my ears, man, I'm sorry
@TinManSixtySix They're not out of sync nor are they out of tune. It's like if you listen to some King Crimson (one of the band's influences), and it's something you're not used to hearing; however, once you understand what's going on, you want more. I suggest listening to the studio version of this song to recognize the skeletal structure of it, and how they change it up live.
That is hilarious...haha that was basically a big FU to everyone there. I like how he just takes that guys glasses and throws em at someone else...haha
That sounds like a bunch of random notes but i know its probably insane when written out in sheet music. Hard to listen buy enjoyable at the same time. Weird
@marysoloo no los volvieron a invitar por que aca en latinoamerica no estabamos preparados para la intensidad de the mars volta , mas sin embargo se robaron el show!!! :-)
Guitarist shit house no way you can tell me that the guitarist is creative. But fuck that was great when the singer took the glasses i just wish they threw a turd at the audience that would set the mood real good
@theWILSE They are more old and more mature. So, it's sure that they wil not be energic like the past, but they are the kind of rare band that should be better and better year after year. We can compare that with wine : more it is old, more it is good.
@Keplaffintech i have and while he is very good Jon's style was a much better fit and he could drum to the music a lot better than pridgeon does. I tend to think that pridgeon overplays a lot and just goes insane while Jon plays crazy but it fits with their style
@imkeen Cedric does have his bad days on stage but his densely woven lyrics, dynamite showmanship, and immaculate crooning on record makes him the best frontman for this band, in my opinion. I don't even know any other singer who'd be able to work with Omar. There's obviously no drummer that can for long periods of time.
He sings pretty damn good live when he isn't jumping around and tossing himself all around the stage. He runs out of breath and gets tried, but thats what makes Cedric himself, he comes with amazing energy that no band even shows any signs or glimpse of.
they used to be untouchable but Theodore casted a shadow that no other drummer has been able to fill...I would think someone as musical as Omar would notice this...
I'd be pissed if some ass climbed all over me then put my glasses on then walked off and gave them to someone else!
