[leomack665]

I take The Mars Volta to listen to DMT.

[IdiotsForSale]

I want to know what the fuck the bassist is playing in the chorus!!!

[Frontwhoreism]

JUAN IS A FUCKING FIEND!!!!!!!!!

[Doodleydrums]

I can't help it but Omar reminds so much of Jimi Hendrix, which is a very good thing if you ask me :D

[sweproductions1]

no Pharoah Sanders on steroids

[crungen5]

FUCKING GAY HAIR!!!

[DZaneSilvers]

[OldManMcScrotumFace]

Fo' Mastooodawwwn

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

I love how the singer always sounds like shit live

[yovioleatuzorramadre]

@Shishimu he doesnt like shit music, I am sorry

[pastrada6]

I wished cedric sing as good as the album, omar rocks but cedric's voice can fucked up the hole show sometimes

[pastrada6]

I wished cedric sing as good as the album

[GDhaenens]

I passed by when they were playing here at werchter?

I remember saying 'sjeezes?! this is huge!!'

[maaseru]

Un Boricua en Belgium!!!!

[TheStudio27]

La bandera de mexico en el segundo 00:04 ahuevo!!!!!!!!!!! cabrones!!!!!

[farlop82]

@TheStudio27 que buen observador chido

[rocker8978]

we are gonna groove ?

[Zagorulez]

awesome

[eleventy5]

Also annoyed at total lack of bass player face time, and Cedric's slight lack of range (maybe he should just drop octave more often) but definitely a sick video and sick performance

[Everywhere404]

2:05

Brann from mastodon

[littlebd7]

why is that none of these videos manage to get a clip of Juan in the chorus?

[novan08]

@littlebd7 Cos no one gives a shit about bass players man

[groovey65]

@novan08 well you are someone who certainly knows nothing about music.

[novan08]

@groovey65 it was a joke.. sarcasm. its the stereotype that bass players are always in the background and not paid attention to by people that don't really appreciate what goes into making a song or band work. I'm a bass player myself, chill out lol

[groovey65]

@novan08 my bad, sarcasm doesn't tend to translate that well through the internet. But yeah sorry about that.

[iFukker]

ximena sariñana, bran daillor, brent hinds!! YEAH!!

[fabsthevamp]

stoopid crow. they dont deserve TMV

[funkeemon]

not thing is new except the drummer have new style of playing.

[WroughtWithFear]

@funkeemon nothing new lol.  i lol'd

[funkeemon]

@WroughtWithFear You are not musician, for sure . Please listen to Hendrix or Led Zepplin then you talk to me. Ha haha ah LMAO.

[WroughtWithFear]

@funkeemon what does being a musician have to do with anything? you think majority of listeners have even picked up an instrument? also what does Hendrix and Zep have to do with it? thats like comparing all metal bands to Black Sabbath just because they were some of the "first" to do it....no.. and yea go ahead and make assumptions as to what i've listened to. you may say nothing new then show me another band just like this one. anyone can probably play their music but only they've written it.

[FrankoFlesh]

@funkeemon What Jazz?

[TheFigueroa007]

SINGER IS FUCKING HORRIBLE. THE REST OF THE BAND ARE SICK BUT THEY NEED A NEW SINGER.

[mediumphill]

@TheFigueroa007 A new singer? I'll reserve myself from making to much fuss about this statement but other than the common opinion that Cedric is one of the most unique and talented singers in rock music. He is co-founder and an integral part of TMV.

[TheFigueroa007]

@mediumphill That may be the case, but I find his vocals are taking off from the music. I actually like the band a lot, especially Omar and the drummer. They try to sound like King Crimson muscially but vocally it sounds all over the place.

[lavtar]

lol brann dailor enjoying on side of stage :D

[kkphi08]

3:54 Omar's fly is unzipped. Lmbo

[7d7e7f7]

I can't stand Cedric's vocals live. 

[jerobussio]

@7d7e7f7 but it would be pretty awesome to see them live tho

[ReggaeMusic3]

@7d7e7f7 then don't listen fag

[Zhunezhen]

If this groop will have on vocals somebody with Adam Lambert voice (Not Adam Lambert exactly) they will owe the world. God why Adam is not a rocker?

[ReggaeMusic3]

@Zhunezhen "they will owe the world"????? And what exactly would they 'owe' the world. Another faggot with 0 talent like adam lambert?

[WroughtWithFear]

@ReggaeMusic3 0 talent... yes explains lack of huge fanbase.....NAAAT

[ReggaeMusic3]

@WroughtWithFear yes it does explain it. fag

[javiesandi]

To hell with Justin Bieber! This is true music, bitches!

[grohlgrohl]

always a mexican flag in every fucking live music video. ALWAYS. lol i love it. viva mexico cabrones.

[ELYOYOS1]

viiva México cabrones..!! =)

[phillfc7]

led zepplin on steroids...and cocaine

[blackserenade24]

@phillfc7 u mean MORE cocaine

[GDhaenens]

@phillfc7

Eh yeah not exactly

The only thing you're right about are the steroids

[Milsuertes]

@phillfc7 Led Zeppelin, dude, what about King Crimson?

[ProGunlok]

THE BEST!! I LOVE MARS VOLTA! OMAR RODRIGUEZ LOPEZ = GOD!

[HaydenFromHell]

I love how you just see Brent Hinds in the background at 1:29.

[psiro]

que manera de ladrar

[nyrangers731]

Juan is so fucking beast. Been learning Day Of The Baphomets all day, this is next on the list.

[littlebd7]

its to bad that in none of these videos there is never any shots of Juan epic bass line in the chorus.

[sensationaldenny]

The most dynamic band in music today...I love The Volta!

[trenken]

Its just painful listening to cedric try to hit high notes. Just struggling. I wish he would do what Geddy Lee did in the early 80s as he started getting older, just sing lower. It just sounds better than trying to hit notes you cant hit anymore.

[poopdroop69]

@trenken yeah ive noticed his voice naturally isn't as high as it was back then, probably because of age. He should just keep up and stay in his range. He has the skill to do so

[mariorossipuzza]

1:56 brann dailor from mastodon appreciates

[exit747steve1]

had the priveledge of growing up and jammin with omar in our 1st band(1st show) now theyre my fucking idols.haha. pure genius!

[fuzia]

Omar forgot to zip his pants x'D

[guschamber]

@fuzia noticed...heh

[Caljira]

if only they had the over the top hyperactivity that At The Drive in had (a teeny bit watered down of course haha) then it would be perfect

[Rhysthomas79]

talented as fuck - but boring as fuck as well. b.o.r.i.n.g.

[jrcsgtpeppers]

@Rhysthomas79 really? the mars volta are a band where you either love it or cant get into it

being a pink floyd fan, volta fit right in, esp because i love john and omar and he are great friends

[mahavishnuxc]

@jrcsgtpeppers me too, i like prog rock and these guys are something else. theyre like pink floyd....on steroids.

[jrcsgtpeppers]

@mahavishnuxc theyre great. more like cocaine or something lol

i dont like prog metal but prog rock is great

[mahavishnuxc]

@Rhysthomas79 theyre progressive rock, theyre songs are an average of 8 minutes or so. this music is not for those with short attention spans or people who just like general rock. progressive rock has always had the stereotype of being "artistic music" for intellectuals. this is the kind of band that focuses more on being good musicians creating an atmosphere that is....well, like something unexplainable. it isnt for everyone.

[sunnyboy0590]

bad asses 

[kulugosiedmond]

WOW!! mastodon was watching and headbanging

[slideon]

hey look its oscar from the office on bass

[legitstuff]

@slideon ive always thought they looked alike!

[Rufus1978]

Seen these guys in Argentina last time....man, that's a lot of stamina on the stage! Superb performance. If you have the chance go see their show.

[apacheazul]

@Rufus1978 Lástima el calor.

[georgeb32]

Brann Dailor 1:56!

[SnoringMonkeyExhibit]

"This song is for Mastodon"

Did they tour together?

[drugoleb]

mastodon watch and learn....

[JOffJill]

Omar's pants are unzipped. 

[saviorpants]

@JOffJill yep 3:54 lmao

[evanisgay11]

@JOffJill His ginormous cock always does that.

[boertush]

@JOffJill Rock out with his cock out?

[deadstardk]

@JOffJill So are mine...

[Gonko100]

jeeze...come down, they're really good, but not brilliant.

[zemechanism]

drinking a mushroom tea surely

[19ZoSo93]

Damn.. Thats awesome.

Awesome performance.

[Sweeper5]

I'm listening to this again and with all odd time-signatures and change-ups, it's really amazing that these guys can pull something like this off live. This band must practice 12 hours a day to be this tight. Listen to the way the backing music is so oddly timed, yet the vocal melodies lay right on top and bring everything together so that it appears to make "perfect sense" time-wise. That's really hard to do, and it's amazing! My hat's off to this band!

[Sweeper5]

This is so killer! I'm not a die-hard fan of Mars Volta, but this performance is absolutely amazing. And this song is absolutely amazing. And the vocals kick major major MAJOR ass. And of course Omar is the brains, and plays with perfection and precision, flawlessly. Pridgen is the drummer from hell with his amazing licks. I guess I'm sounding pretty much like a Mars Volta fan after all. LOL! I totally dig this song, I admit that!

[KurdtKobain09]

What's the song where Marcel does a solo?

[chlebachce]

@KurdtKobain09

Day of the Baphomets

[hobbi1123]

best comment i have heard in a long time bout the mars volta

[mtercos]

VIVA PERAO!!!!!

[jigo13]

Saramarie923 you got the f***ing words

[cybermental]

@johanna717 Bahahaha pop piss? they are alternative rock/indie lameass, every one of their songs has intense meaning do some research if you please otherwise continue to talk about a band you know nothing about ..

[cybermental]

@johanna717 POP piss ? Bahah- Ok-When the pot is so leaky its hard to know where to put the water bahaha-pop? no-indie/alternative rock, all cd's released are platinum, every song has DEEP meaning, they are their own recording label and write whatever the fuck they want .... In diorama daniel johns composed the music for every instrument in an orchestra in prague that play throughout the cd.. You would probably better appreciate a primitive song of theres (22yrsold) tube.com/watch?v=SGC3lceVsLo

[cybermental]

@johanna717 I am not a fool that believes in one genre I like alllllll musical styles. Im sorry you feel like your in the 'rock' clan and that people are sectioned by one single musical-taste..... How naieve 'if you like pop music than OF COURSE you wouldnt like volta? Are you a waffle waitress ? Dont quit your day job.

[johanna717]

@cybermental Boy, did I hit a sore spot? btw, tl; dr.

[cybermental]

@johanna717 Lol, this is probably a song youve heard before .....

h.t.t.p://w.w.w.youtube.com/wa­tch?v=IZSFaFV86eE

Tell me that the singer of mars volta (and all the other bands lol) sings like this.... you are a fool...

[mediumphill]

That bass line, I just close my eyes and let it take over!

[thefunkmaster147]

Juan's tone KILLS!

[theburritoman]

3:54 XYZ Omar!

[cannibal72]

1:29 haha brent hinds ahaha

[xjohnwebsterx]

11/8. Why? FUCK YOU, that's why.

[daveconnor10]

the guitarist is flying low... claswsic

[kaycj11]

Modern King Crimson.

[thepuckmonkey]

@kaycj11 totally agree

[ENOCHwithaGLOCK]

@kaycj11  the modern king crimson is the modern king crimson.

[grohlgrohl]

@kaycj11 modern King Floyd

[mayfly127]

@kaycj11 led zeppelin?

[ChonnyChimole]

The sound during the Chorus is a keyboard sound.

[hamburgler124]

1.the dillinger escape plan

2. the mars volta

3. between the buried and me

4. dir en grey

best bandds to listen to stoned :)

[MyOwnWorldMegan]

I'm in love with Cedric and Omar omfg!

[FinalConflict99]

man the only mars volta song i heard was in "get him to the greek" at the beging of the film,fukin gave me chills.

[GrooveThumper]

1:56 Brann Dailor from Mastodon. Bobbing his head

[mickjagger14]

Is this sparta?

[cooliovasquez]

first time ive heard this band, im already jizzing

[nihilosman]

I see mastodon at the side of the stage. They seem to be enjoying TMV.

[Thumbyy]

How does he get that guitar sound in the chorus?

[troykeenanguitar]

@Thumbyy Filter

[LeePnC86]

I do love what this band does but I wish Cedric would sing in tune a bit more live....

[XxShindouxX]

@LeePnC86

Its really hard live, the vocals are extremely high pitched so I understand him having some trouble.

[joanmesa]

2:20 FFREGGINN BESTTTTT!!!

[saramarie923]

love them or hate them, they are super talented and have restored my faith in modern music. love these guys.

[Anotherdesade]

@saramarie923 Listen to the Dillinger Escape Plan another great newer band

[BuckNasty128]

Both the drummers they had were amazing can't wait for the new drummer

[conkerbigmac]

@BuckNasty128 u sir like men

[rodericusher]

@k9999power

He may have technically been the best drummer - but I don't feel any of their newer records after JT have the same soul of passion to them - listen to anything from De-Loused and see if you can see what I mean. Not to say that their stuff with Thomas isn't anything other than amazing though - truly amazing band.

[Lewisvh]

@rodericusher listening to a record doesn't proove your point. Omar writes everything, even the drums so:) i like Thomas better, but everyone has his own taste i guess...

[magicbag6790]

omar's guitar playing style/ mars volta is completly acquired

[markeesdeath]

...the volta. BAAA!..i just called them the volta. that is just to stupid, i forgot that that is inappropriate. fuck me damn it head

[stix4u77]

Omar's Wife (Ximena Sariñana) is at he back haha

[k9999power]

i love thomas pridgen, he was just the best drummer for mars volta,

[SKEvil]

Check out that footwork

[mediumphill]

Does anyone else here a similarity between Juan Alderete and Chris Squire? 

[chimmychonga321]

holy fuck.

[WeliveTheySleep]

Love these guys, when deloused first came out i was in 7th grade and thats when i started liking good music. i literally couldnt wait to get out of school to go listen to it. I counted down the days till frances by having my cd player alarm set to play deloused to wake me up in the mornings. But i went to see them two times in ohio making a 4 hour drive for the bedlam tour which they cancelled both minutes before i finally saw them driving up a 3rd time. ive never looked at them the same

[AMIDEADYET1231]

haha you can see brann dailor bobbin his head at 1:57

[TakeItBrendanLSD]

amazing song but he totally hacked the vocals, ive never heard him do it well live.

[WoWplyr19]

Ohhhh okay. Yeah I saw Brann and Brent in the background. Okay good I was gonna say that would suck cus I like these guys but Mastodon is my favorite band

[polyphonickeyboard]

i want cedric's shoes.. 

[LifeIsPeachy9928]

Mars Volta are awesome!

[adawg37]

i knew mastodon was there watchin, i didn't know TMV knew who they were though. :)

[Beelayzee]

apples and oranges people! Mastodon is heavy metal and TMV is hard rock. both are amazing bands!

[Jerreb96]

These Guys are by far one of the smartest men ive ever seen in music, Their music is just something i cant REALLY get into, not that it sucks, it just isnt my style, My Brother loves them, I Cant truly get into their style but i give them 100% respect for their unique style and their ability to make genius music

[punker4u84]

@Jerreb96 I feel the same way

[spankythedog56]

@Jerreb96

and i can give you respect for being an intelligent human being.

i have no problem with people who dont like the style. thats just their opinion. everyone is entitled to theirs. but no one can say that they aren't unique or talented. thats just plan fact that they are.

[WoWplyr19]

Why did he dedicate it to mastodon? Is it because they like dislike each other or some thing?

[homesnake202]

@WoWplyr19 Naw I think they're friends. Cedric and Ikey both have parts on Blood Mountain

[polyphonickeyboard]

@WoWplyr19 they're friends.. i supossed mastodon likes this song..

[melongabg]

@WoWplyr19 If you look in the background around 4:00 and other times you can see brent from mastodon

[FunK0Slap0GB]

All Mastodon do is play loud,Have you heard Amputechture that proves how good mucicians they are

[SHRKATTCK]

I Love Mastodon as well but TMV are on a level far beyond most bands wish they could be @ !!

[Zajcik]

His vocals are terrible live. I think he should stop using those shitty effects

[TheFragile89]

Mars Volta aren't even 1/8th the talent of Mastodon.

[lettrism]

@TheFragile89 that's the funniest thing I have read all day. gold. where do you do stand up?

[TheFragile89]

@lettrism The 1/8th belonged to Jon Theodore, who was the only talent in the band, and since he left (no surprise there), their slew of crapfests have gotten even worse.

[winnerbaby44]

@TheFragile89 you clearly have no idea about anything.. and in that list, the last item is music.

[TheFragile89]

@winnerbaby44

You must have forgotten that there's such a thing difference of opinion when it comes to music.

[winnerbaby44]

@TheFragile89 no I didnt.. the thing is, opinion is "I like it or I dont".. you took it a step further.. you're saying "they suck".. those are some of the best musicians in the world.. specially TP.

[TheFragile89]

@winnerbaby44

That's up for debate :)

[nathan7007]

i hope theres some talent in that mug hes drinking at the start cause he needs it

[jackanger1985]

!Para MASTODON! que bien!

[MarkmasterGreat]

Ну не нравится мне их новый барабанщик. Какая-то обезьяна за барабанами. Рушит всю красоту мызыки ненужными сбивками. Совсем не красиво получается. Первый альбом - супер. Второй ничего - дальше уже как обычно... :(

[socalkevinz]

MASTODON!!!

[hamburgler124]

probobly the most random looking lineup ever.

[vegadomis32988]

Cuz Mastadon clams to be the metal version of the mars volta..
