The Mars Volta- Cedric Is Insane (Toronto Phoenix)

[retrocareermelted]

rock god status has been furfilled, this is just the excess overkill that makes sure our corpse stay fresh with the memory before we decompose.hahahah

[kurevnik4]

my mother was there and caught the cymbal.

[ismaelblues]

don't see, don't see!!! hahahaha LOL LOL LOL

[1blackguitar1]

i love how cedric hates moshing and slam dancing because audience members can get hurt but he has no problem throwing a cymbal or light fixture into the audience.

[astronautonomicron]

because he has admitted to previously using tons of drugs (atdi) and drinking psychadelic tea during performances

[oui]

psychadelic tea? please. he's high on the music, man. why is this so hard for people to comprehend?

[0008brown8000]

They're minds are "Shrouded with the rest of them" if you know what i mean.

[chubetoz0r]

Totally agree with you. Some people get confused, i went to TMV show on november, during the almost 3 hours of music Cedric was crazy and eventualy he drank some liquid from a cup. When the show finish'd all the people said "maan ¿you see? he drank peyote tea, he drank marihuana tea... COOL" People don't understand that TMV music is different, makes you feel different things, is not necesaary to use drugs or drink "weird teas" for make you feel the music. All is on the brain.

[facedspaced]

Psychadelic tea? maybe not, but both cedric and omar smoke pot. Whether or not you consider that drug use is up to you..

[picarafairy]

i love this guy!

[RobinofSactown]

Thanks asspants 101! I'm hella older than I seem, but kind comments like yours make me lots younger! Right on!

[TMVGoliath]

cymbal* sry

[TMVGoliath]

did you catch the symbol?

[JoseSoracha]

He did the same thing in Sthlm, sweden, late february. He threw out a cymbal, with the stand and everything. Then he flew out into the audience and rampaged for like 20 minutes. Funny as hell :P

[EpicFaiIGuy]

Cedric is really into the music - isn't that what makes him an amazing performer?

[unicursalhex]

I wonder how much (if any) is influenced by drugs???

[dontaskwhyplz]

none

[rashock12]

and im sure dontaskwhyplz really knows.. im willing to bet he is on something but you never know he could just be really into the music (i dont think going nuts like that is being really into the music though honestly)

[yeoldeface]

why can't people simply let some energy out without being accused of drug usage

jesus

[RobinofSactown]

I'm like 50 years old, and Jimi was my bifest influemce. One night a couple years ago I was sitting with my old lady and my daughter called- she was front row at the Greek in Berkeley at the Mars Volta shpw. It sounded utterly fucking aciddrenched even thru the phone- in a good way- like Jimi was taking revenge on Led Zep and the funkadelics were sawing a woman in half. Out-of-controlness! Respect from an old rocker! Somebody tell me next time they play Sacramento! 5 stars.

[asspants101]

ur not 50. more like 27ish. look at you page.

[MitchellMcl]

if this was filmed in 08. its not john theodore.

its pridgen.

LOL.

[vismund9]

thats the point. the show was boring because there was no jon theodore

[MitchellMcl]

NO way. I totaly love everything theodore did. but, thomas prodgen is such a briliant drummer and has taken them in a different direction. i think its a good thing.

[stebe1985]

theodore could only aspire to be half the drummer pridgen is.

[jflaks66]

damn straight

[vismund9]

boring show.

JOHN THEODOREEEEE

[MitchellMcl]

PRIDGEN PWNS!!!!

[kerrydesousa]

oh yeah my buddy got the symbol!

stupid bouncers made em give it up though

[kerrydesousa]

oh man! this show! blew my mind

when cedric came down into the audience he was right infront of me dancing on my friend and I!! he then went and took some guyas jacket and glasses! so funny...best night!

and seriously Thomas is the fucking man!

brillant and so kind! met him a couple times, great guy!

[StaleFlesh1]

Was there with some buddies, awsome show! Most energy I've ever seen on stage, insane! Everyone should see these guys at least once!

[ATrain11267]

I turned away for two seconds, turned back around and Cedric was standing right beside me. He made some dude take off his coat and he wore it for a while. He was COVERED in dust from going up on that platform to ride the sphinx. Good times.

[Epidemiaa]

uuggghhh wish i went.

[besaidtyler]

my buddy got the cymbal.....the bouncers made hime give it to thomas though....thomas gave him a signed drumstick in exchange....and we all got to meet him....fair trade

[warlordca]

PS who got the symbol? lol

[WynterJones]

I went to this show, and Pridgen blew my fucking mind!!!

[jesusnpals420]

This was a biblical show, if you didn't like this, it went over your head. Thomas!

[warlordca]

I was a little closer on Cedric's side, the girl in front of me hugged him when he jumped off stage. Lmao, that was the best concert I've ever been to, and to any Pridgen nay-sayers out there, he can match John beat for beat, with his own flare. Pridgen is God.

[bobbide]

oh man i wish i went to this show, friggin skalpers wanted 150 a ticket hahaha

im so buying tickets months in advance from now on.

[StaleFlesh1]

I hear that, my friend came with us and actually paid that to get in....was worth it though!

[d3fkt]

this show was retarded, i was only a few feet from this guy filming. my face physically melted off my skull... impressive to say the least!

[dtegg91]

I am still speechless.

[AttackTheRadical]

Fucking SICK show... bad video though :P
