THE MARS VOLTA Dyslexicon

[thesikamikanico]

parks is inhumanly fast

[chumanjames]

Omar doesn't look like he is having any fun with the whole live band thing anymore. The music is killer though sounds like influence from Django Reinhart.

[LedZeppelin03]

cedric sounds better here...

[blueman912]

WHERE ARE THE AFROS?!

[incutool]

...Ever!

[incutool]

Let's remember, "The Mars Volta" is Omar and Cedric. Everyone else is replaceable....but please don't replace Juan!

[Redeemedsinner17]

@incutool They got rid of Ikey... which pissed me off ._.

[theused4lifebaby]

@incutool I believe Ikey is irreplaceable. 

[sevdrummin]

dentoni look like he came out the closet

[BeeskieMICA]

what a boring fucking crowd.

[691xaday]

Jon Phillip Theodore

[alistilla2]

i like them way better when they go crazy and play fast, intense shit

this is kinda boring though

[surfspecz1]

Cedric... is literally... on. Fire.

[SaculNoshploda]

@surfspecz1 I agree 1000% but Juan is just so damn entertaining!

[SaculNoshploda]

@SaculNoshploda + the intro and outro are some of the best i've ever seen!

[Osteoporozis]

Mars Volta is all about change... some people can't deal with that and like just one or two albums. I suppose that's why they lost so many fans after Frances... but I can't wait to see the entirety of this album, because a new direction is exactly what they needed

[TheFdfilms]

Esperando el nuevo álbum, supongo que este material refiere a eso. Cuánta gente nueva en la banda...

[Nuevoarcenal]

These bastard are fucking insanely good. It doesn't matter which direction they take I still end up liking it. Genius

[saviorpants]

full fuckin house and the fuckin facts of life, yo

[Majoritis]

1) Full. Fucking. House! Lolol

2) Omar is singing these days? Where have I been?

[TheHilelorangutan]

No fro. :/

[92451721921892113]

Everywhere you look , everywhere you go.........

[rogerklotz80]

deantoni - fucking hulk on drums

[ahwhaddup6]

Didn't like it at first but it grew on me

[o0Boxy0o]

Im kinda glad ikey left.. he was good when they were full crazy, so his random smashing of a keyboard was great but now this new direction needs something a little more refrained, controlled and musical.

[MrSigbjorntrumbaugh]

Deantoni just owns!

[jm213213]

ikey got replaced by marcel and that white dude on the left

[jm213213]

if youre not buff. you dont make it on record as the mars voltas drummer

[thundermorphine]

Ikey retired?

[DillingerEscapeMan]

@thundermorphine HE left mate

[thundermorphine]

@DillingerEscapeMan

Weird that he stayed on for so long.

[keitaro21]

@thundermorphine he left, now he is working on his band : Free Moral Agents, which is really good !!

[iAple]

noooooooooo, a mac? where the fuck is Ikey

[crayZtaco7]

idk bout this shit. its not hittin me the right way...and im stoned as fuck. which means i should be likin this shit like i like the other albums.

[mrpepre]

'I always seem to hear it in your laughter!!!!' really grates on me after a while. amazing guitar and drums though. deantoni is a monster.

[HoboJones10]

Kinda sounds like at the drive in.

[HoboJones10]

Can't wait for the album.

[phillylele]

full fuckin house lol

[TheBigDirty716]

@phillylele i've seen them introduce themselves as mudvayne. they're normal guys like you and I... they just happen to be some of the best musicians to ever walk this earth. i'm with you... you have the stage and the full attention of everyone... and thats what you consciously choose to say. i love it

[SpookyAction123]

@TheBigDirty716 "best musicians to ever walk this earth"

Oh PULEASE! You don't get out much do you.

[TheBigDirty716]

@SpookyAction123 haha... that's my opinion and i'm sticking to it. i don't care if you can fit a million notes into one twenty second guitar solo, i'm talking in terms of creativity, no one has been constantly setting the bar as high as they have been for over a decade. i think it's great that you disagree. so here's your chance... enlighten me.

[XxzeppelinxX]

Heard Cedric's wife is into Scientology...wonder if he's accepted some of its philosophical presuppositions, and placing it within his influences for this upcoming album.

[Errol246]

@XxzeppelinxX Oh ... god

[elduarphyan]

Deantoni is amazing, like all TMVs drummers have been. I struggle to understand how people can think otherwise beyond "he isn't [old drummer] so I don't like him".

[Georgelogan]

@elduarphyan ur brain is awesome

[SpookyAction123]

@elduarphyan Totally agree.

[Themrantonon18]

What the fuck happend to TMV? The percussionists arent there, and Ikey is missing. And Cedrics hair is missing aswell.

Fuck this shit. 

[deadeye42]

@hastyvictories he's amazing drummer, he just takes the music really seriously. TP just partied a shit load and ended up getting fired.

[gbtapin]

it sure looks different without ikey owens on the piano:(

[damnitalltohell100]

full fucking house! XD

[TheAmazingPeet]

Someone please wake me when it's March 27th, I can't wait for this album.

[DillingerEscapeMan]

Amazing shit

[damnitalltohell100]

love this!!!!!!!!!!!

[SatansDankWeed]

cant get over the drum part, and the drummer is so addicting. cant wait to buy this album!

[Crowz91]

is it me or deantoni got feakin' buff

[CerpinTaxt1983]

@Crowz91 playing drums for the mars volta will make anyone buff lol

[CerpinTaxt1983]

i heard that at the drive in were getting back together for cochella is this true???

[reyl]

@CerpinTaxt1983 yeah

[CerpinTaxt1983]

Dean is the best thing to happen to the mars volta 2nd only to the mars volta's creation lol. Dean gives them so much more to offer.

[mrpepre]

@CerpinTaxt1983 jon theodore????

[Skapete]

Why is March so FAAR AWAY!!!!

[damnitalltohell100]

ever wish something would just appear? like, say, i don't know...this Album?!?!?!? i want it now!!!!!!!!!

[woobiehastelly]

I don't understand why people dislike the fact Deantoni plays in a unique way. Let him use his own style. I think it's amazing how he plays.

[Rougarou13]

@woobiehastelly and he's not arrogant! Something the Volta need, a talented non-arrogant drummer!

[ZelenaBananaa]

@woobiehastelly +1 deantoni is a beast, he has groove, i dont know why ppl like pridgeon :S

[Jetly93]

@woobiehastelly I dont understand how you could not think hes mindblowing :\

dudes awesome, so much energy.

[chickenluva1]

It's great to see omar singing again!

[subZ3roUK]

why dose there current drummer have such a small kit in comparison to his preprocessors. he won't have enough kit to really play most of the song properly.

[FondlingReply]

THE FUCKIN' FACTS OF LIFE.

[lamecasuelas2]

what the fuck? what happened to ikey? damn,so good that Atdi is back!!

[FondlingReply]

@lamecasuelas2 Shut your filthy mouth.

[lamecasuelas2]

@FondlingReply i'm sorry but the last album that was really good was Amputechture,since then it fells like omar just lost himself inside all his bands

[CydeFXT]

@lamecasuelas2 well.....as much as i want to disagree with you, there is some truth to your comment. I dont think the albums after Amputechture were bad at all....TBIG was awesome and Octahedron was kind of a filler album still a good album...Amp felt just a little more consistent.

[lamecasuelas2]

@CydeFXT you see, maybe they just need to take a rest from the mars volta camp,and then,they will give us some amazing,mindblowing grundbreaking albums again

[CydeFXT]

@lamecasuelas2 maybe so....i think this album will be cool.

[VicteraIsler]

I MEAN THEY NEED ADRIAN -_"

[keitaro21]

@VicteraIsler Yeah I like that guy, but it's no the latin touch anymore. But I think we will see him in Omar's solo work

[VicteraIsler]

WHERE IS ADRIAN????

[spaghettiandlettuce]

Oh yayy!XD! My lovelys are back!!XDXD

[CruiseControlFurCool]

Great to see Omar singing. I can never find video of him singing live.

[rtfrancis2002]

Wow TMV goes thru drummers like hotcakes! does anyone know why their last drummer Dave Elitch didnt work out??

[DangerRifai]

@rtfrancis2002 Elitch was only ever a temporary replacement to complete their touring commitments. He was never meant to be permanent.

[TheTremulant555]

all the volta are doing is developing their sound, and changing, they're not gonna make deloused over and over again i don't know why people keep expecting Volta albums to sound like that, they're gonna keep evolving their sound, and it sounds pretty awesome i couldn't be more excited for Noctourniquet

[Smallmo123]

I'm liking the sound of this, and they look like they are having fun playing their new stuff.

Hopefully the album is good.

[Zvanunhoft]

Jon Theodore made TMV special. After he left, the band kinda lost it's magic. And have they also lost their Latin vibe? When I saw them on Frances The Mute tour they had horn players, additional percussionists, organs... Not saying change is bad. But it was these things that made them special. In my opinion of course.

[keitaro21]

Noctourniquet soon !!

[luckicharms777]

@chupeteguaya Gorillalike haha

[amp50158]

the mars volta are about 3 albums away from becoming a boy band

[Aberinkulas]

@amp50158 poor kid

[theelostriots9999]

Nice.

[chumanjames]

very awesome jazz drumming. cant stop snaping my fingers

[MyEggIsBoiled]

Someone inform me, as I have all their albums but I am not up on previously unreleased tracks and what not: Is this supposed to be on the upcoming album?

[woobiehastelly]

@MyEggIsBoiled Yes.

[anexecutrixatplay]

@MyEggIsBoiled next album

[chumanjames]

totally amazings brothers. Bethoveen esque

[uhwaykin]

Volta would be so much better with Theodore. Fuck everyone. Deantoni doesn't fit here.

[trac6]

@uhwaykin ha ha!! Theodore changed my prospective on the words "Creative Drumming".

[12toedfeet]

@uhwaykin Did you see those fills he was doing around 1:54? Those are pretty sweet.

[uhwaykin]

@12toedfeet I never said Deantoni was bad.  I just think Theodore was the best drummer this band ever had for this band specifically.

[chupeteguaya]

Deantoni is so fucking Godlike.

[sirockk]

@chupeteguaya i only came across this dude a week ago n hands down my all time fav drummer, the guys taking drumming to another level

[thomaserak7]

juan....pick??

[joerobot32]

@thomaserak7 he's used them for a while, ive caught his picks in past years, watch the henry rollins show tetragammaton version.

[ShaunDnBdrums]

Is this coming from the next album?

[haigaiz19]

@ShaunDnBdrums Yes.

[12toedfeet]

@ShaunDnBdrums Yeah, it's supposed to be coming out March 27th.

[Everywhere404]

I love deantoni

[CatharsisRed]

lol I just noticed, wtf is Cedric attempting at 1:55? 1 handed pushup?

[CatharsisRed]

some parts sound like he's reciting lines from a shakespeare play or something lol.

[CatharsisRed]

Yea I agree the new drummer cant hold a candle to the previous, but that's cus his style of drumming is totally different. iirc he does electronic style music. Maybe it's just the sound quality but I don't like the new direction of TMV's songs, the drummer doesn't seem to be a good fit, and Cedrics vocals seem kinda off. Dont quite know how to put it but it's as if Cedric is singing a completely different song to what the rest of the band are playing.

[CatharsisRed]

lol Deantoni looks funny as hell when he drums.

[trenken]

@CatharsisRed He's definitely a goofy looking dude. He's got that bottom lip that just hangs down.

[JMTvolta]

Even w that shity quality i can feel how deep it is god they make insperational music like seriously shit beast i love them and i agree that new drummer boy is sick

[chriswrigley]

man all those other members that used to be on stage from the last album they did that got fired from the band must be fuckin pissed

[yoshy321]

the new drummer is the best yet

[woobiehastelly]

@yoshy321 Agreed.

[trenken]

@yoshy321 Uh not even remotely close. I hope you arent a drummer if you think this is the best they've had. That goes to Theodore, who was perfect for this band. Not this clown who was just shoehorned into a band he doesnt belong in. He does awkward beats during the verses with no cymbals or hihat, does stupid electronica bullshit with the bass drum, and has horrible timing, constantly playing off the beat because he's not a natural rock drummer.

[yoshy321]

@trenken haha in my opinion he goes for much more than theodore. Listen to deatoni in omars trio..

[Yoitson1]

I always seem to hear it in your laughter!

[Sunjata0]

the band looks/actso so dull now, i miss ikey

[GamingCove]

@Sunjata0 I miss Jon Theodore :(

[Yoitson1]

@GamingCove It's alright. Deantoni is clutch

[trenken]

@Yoitson1 Na this guy pretty much sucks actually. Theodore rules.

[woobiehastelly]

@trenken Just because he has a different style doesn't mean he sucks, moron.

[thebassmath]

I cant believe how much their sound has eveolved. I love the musical maturity in this-even in omars recent solowork. the level of musicianship is awesome.

[Yoitson1]

cant believe they opened up for soundgarden

[kosephdrums]

I miss Cedric's old hair....now he looks like the freakin Greenday guy .___.

[Yoitson1]

@kosephdrums LOL

[Yoitson1]

Cant stop listening. Seems likes its already off the album

[Yoitson1]

MAN! Deantoni is solid as fuck.

[joshspoon]

He looks like he's playing on kid drums. Pull your drums up boy! haha

[sidus53]

Full. Fucking. House.

[xpenguinx]

Keyboards at 3:50 sound cool. Refreshing.

[TheOissin]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE AFROS???

[gsswish]

Deatoni looks like he plays middle linebacker in the NFL back there. Damn boy! The drum set looks small for his big ass.

[mariorossipuzza]

backing vocals??? is it omar???

[12toedfeet]

@mariorossipuzza Yes.

[mdab0123]

@mariorossipuzza Yuppers. :)

[Matamooo]

que omar culiao NO cante!



[frylocdub]

full fucking house

[marionetas]

ta todo muy lindo pero al negro de la bata q lo9 hagan morcilla , volve jon teodore

[CydeFXT]

Deantoni is not a new drummer for those who dont know.....but he is rockin a flat top LoL! Sic drummer though.

[nicomaticoloco]

deantoni se mato en el gimnasio????

[xthreadx]

ten years in and they still have the passion when performing live. that's a rare thing in rock, thanks for having it.

[patternagainstusher]

new drummer is a total tool bag.

[sevdrummin]

what the fuck happened to dentoni...he got HELLA big!



[o0Boxy0o]

@sevdrummin init. imagine if he boxed, those muscles.. that devil stare.

[mrpepre]

prigden*

[mrpepre]

if so it makes perfect sense for him to join mars volta, he's way suited than pidgen who was far too metal sounding.

[PoeticJustice05]

@mrpepre Metal??? You couldn't be further from the truth. Pridgen's origins are in gospel drumming.

[jmarsvolta]

@PoeticJustice05 It's not Pridgen.

[mrpepre]

isnt this Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group? thats definitely the drummer!

[mackin666]

this is just terrible. what happened to the greatest band ever? just terrible.

[ArmaMentalChile]

Is ronald bruner playing?

[dondelobo66]

@ArmaMentalChile Deantoni Parks. Half-man, half-amazing. 

[FlyingFuckstorm]

The Mars Volta have never been so proficient in performing live, man. I'm seriously loving all the Nick Cave meets Volta meets ATDI vibes here.

[okamasphere]

I really like that they downsized. Much more articulate.

[DrummerPie]

deantoni is GREAT!!!!!!!

[DrummerPie]

wow!! lot of energy!! good new one!!!!

[xTomei]

I love that omar is throwing in backup vocals again. Havent seen that in a while. His vocals arent the best, but its still cool.

[The4thGuy]

Thanks for posting this show!

[JesusLoveYourCunT]

Full House?!!? lol  WTF?!

[bebopalulahola]

Full Fuckin' House!

[PLBIV]

on a good note... the finally found another drummer who plays like jon theodore.... and the bad side... where the FUCK is isiah ikey owens!?

[Fliko]

@PLBIV Deantoni plays quite a bit differently then Jon, and Ikey is doing Free Moral Agents right now

[PLBIV]

@Fliko i wouldn't say QUITE a bit differently... especially compared to everyone else who has played drums for them..
