The Mars Volta live video, Cedric trashes Sasquatch 08

[thebuthcer123]

Only simple minds can't grasp the complexity of TMV. Let's keep it like that!

[b15bomber]

Cedric is like a mexican homosexual butt plug licking cowgirl who cant throw a fucking cymbol more than 5 feet cause the drummer has his massive dick up his loose ass

[gsswish]

@b15bomber Pridgen, is that you?

[viktor0590]

7:20 the dude with the hat got impressed

[birdizzle]

I was very high at this show. I remember it freaked the shit out of me when Cedric started grabbing the camera

[emokTheKid]

Omar just slapped Cedrics hand like a child lol

[JoeKellyDrums]

Love the mars volta, but Cedric is a bellend. He can't sing either. The albums are very well produced, but live, he sounds like a cat being stood on.

[hilllbilllyjoe]

Cedric is a reckless dick-head. those camera's cost more than he is worth and the guy holding it didn't go there to be assaulted. 

[VQQDQQCHILD]

4:54

Omar- BAD CEDRIC! Drop it! DROP IT!

[ReggaeMusic3]

@VQQDQQCHILD he obviously was pissed at the camera man for either not giving him the camera or grabbing ced's hand. look at how pissed omar looked

[surfspecz1]

Hearing this lineup live was a truly marvelous experience.

[chumanjames]

audio finally kicks in at 3 minute mark

[IIIlllll]

One day those flying cymbals are gonna cause one huge lawsuit lol.

[inheritancerecords]

anyone else notice that they're not actually expressing anything worthy of being expressed? They are up there displaying their genitals.

[bslz65]

@inheritancerecords their genitals being waved around > most live bands performances

[cavshoops9]

I was there, third row.... most amazing spectacle known to man.... The Mars Volta!!

[4AJWP]

Cedric is like a mexican Jim Morrison

[FondlingReply]

@NSOMH WOW, A REAL LIFE GROWN UP.

[bobthesalesclerk]

Anyone else remember when this band was really awesome.  I'm glad I got to see them a few times back in 03-06.

[brianspragg]

this is bad

[RustyDancing]

@NSOMH Its just a jam session its not a song to just clear it up.

[ImaFez]

thats like 300 bucks he just threw away, id b hella pissed if that was me drumming.

[Onamorata]

@ImaFez No doubt! ... Good thing TP has been endorsed since age 10!

[ImaFez]

@Onamorata lol. true, but still. 300 bucks worth is still 300 bucks worth. whether u paid for it or not.

[RustyDancing]

The greatest fucking thing ive ever feasted my eyes upon.

[latinstuff1]

and who said mexicans didnt have prestige ;)

[mayonaise101010]

LOVE.......

[solargesture]

this is what happens when you mainline both coke and meth. none of that fanboy "they dont do drugs anymore" bs please. at the very least maybe they didnt mainline it

[kickliquid]

So this is how rockstars stay so thin

[tripllblakk]

did ya'll know that omar & ced have matching dick fro's as well?

[JuryKing]

These guys are possessed, haunted recording studio? They've definitely lost it.

[matenizer]

This hurts in a good way.

[veryintricated]

Mexico loves you cedric and by the way you display our flag we know you know that for sure.

[keaton223]

@veryintricated the other one is Juan's (bassist) he even has a Mexican flag belt buckle. Viva Mexico!

[Shredderfrank]

i was at this show, searched youtube for this single moment. seeing cedric terrorize sasquatch made my day. Otherwise...sasquatch is a weak festival

[Redeemedsinner17]

Bah... baaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

[tehbezza]

Did Cedric throw one of the drummers cymbals into the crowd? Haha!

[eightBaLL288]

@S8OR lol wow i didnt even notice that. ur rite.

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

Oh, Cedric, throwing things into the audience when I seem to remember you saying that you don't like moshing 'cause they might get hurt. You're such an asshole. But I like you're dancing so it's all good.

[Palachrist]

Ppl that dislike Mars Volta just dont understand them. You gotta know where they are goin with their music to love them lol

[TheRadiatorHums1]

I love how cedric has been so concerned about safety at shows "including the anti-mosh speeches of atdi" but feels it completely safe to throw cymbals and other shit at the crowd....i love these guys but they (cedric and omar) have always been on a high horse.

[1aggro]

Is it me or does this sound and look like a "shreds" video? Lame!!

[mattymonster666]

fucking hell those maracas sound AWESOME in this

[jddrock]

This is music?

[amazingdafodill]

@jddrock What kind of question is that dumbass ?

[jddrock]

@amazingdafodill ...The kind a musician asks. Sounds like they are trying to be experimental, but ending up with irritating noise.

[milkboy94]

@jddrock You are stating your opnion as fact, which in effect makes you look like a jerk. See, me stating my opinion would be; your uploaded videos are crappy at best, while me stating a fact would be; you are a pretentious jerk who uses being a "musician" as an excuse to impose your opinion as if it were more important than a non-musician.

[jddrock]

@milkboy94 You're reading waaaaay too much into my response. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the energy of this band...I just don't understand it. Very bizarre. And loud. That's the best I can say about MV. Re-think what you said to me and why. I didn't disrespect the band or you. Just gave my opinion, nothing more. Believe me, I appreciate anyone doing anything original! It has nothing to do with being a musician either, just a matter of personal taste. Perception.

[XBEARxMOSHX]

"yeah we were going to have a lead singer, but we said fuck it lets just find a crazy person three minutes before the set.

"

[monorecors]

@XBEARxMOSHX alone INTRO is the INTRO guuuy°°

[spacefreely]

the guitar player shreds, that's all i know.

[l3ardoc]

Ahahah I'm loving the hell Cedric is putting his stage crew through. Every time he messes something up, the poor guy has to fix it.

[jessy8281]

seguro que estaba re drogado por tantas boludeces juntas..igual es una masa la banda!!!!!!!!!!1

[Axelrckr]

He's very, very, wasted!

[timmeh505]

I spy Wayne Coyne in the background, it's hard to tell if he approves :P

[trendkillPA]

This is the alternate version of Omar's "Jacob Van Lennepkade". Its in 9 instead of 4/4

[JosephGallagher]

@4:54 LOL!!

[pichualdo09]

is this a shitty version of Jacob Jam just because of thomas P.?

[hazzyftw]

THIS WHY U NOT DO DRUUGS CHILDREN

YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTA FROM RICK JAMEEZZZ

BIEETCHSSS

[FrankoFlesh]

I love it at 4:56! Omar's like "Lay a GOD DAMN finger on my singer, I dare you, I DOUBLE dare you"

[ALLCAPS]

@FrankoFlesh how adorable that you think you saw that. Looked more like Omar was coming at Ced to say "The fuck you doing man?" . Live performing is pay day if you don't know.

[LightWillIgniteUsAll]

4:54

Smack.

[TheOskr360]

Yo me pregunto como será Cedric en la vida real, cuando no esta en un escenario... cuando va a pagar la cuenta del gas, cuando esta en su casa, cuando duerme. JAJAJAJAJAJA XD

[TorrezVideo]

You know, this video just about puts a face to the word "pretentious." Senseless noodling.

[happytime13]

@TorrezVideo Nice work my main man... you just put them right in a box from a distorted and pix-elated piece of footage! Hope you sleep well you judgmental safe prick!

[TorrezVideo]

@happytime13 I slept very well, fanboy. I have heard three of their first albums and failed to see the point. Still pretentious noodling, studio or live. The concepts behind their albums are beyond absurd and to such a hilarious degree. But, that's just like my opinion, maaaan. I hope YOU sleep well, my friend. I did not mean to pick your brain so hard.

[FondlingReply]

@TorrezVideo Who invited you?

[eightBaLL288]

@TorrezVideo pff shut the fuck up man you're the most pretentious ass in this whole list of commentors. take a look at your own comment.

[Antom1234]

@TorrezVideo No you put a face to "pretentious". They are a legendary, successful band, who has fans, who tours and makes a lot of money for making music. Then there's you who writes off this performance as "pretentious" as if you can do better. As if you're above this display of musicianship. You're so intellectually inclined as to call this "senseless noodling". The fact that you believe you're qualified to make statements like that makes you the face of pretentious

[Antom1234]

@Antom1234 lol saying thingslike that about a band who tours around the world and sells millions of album copies and you probably don't even have an album that someone outside of your circle of friends has even heard. You probably don't even have an album! and you sya shit like that. That my friends is a false assumption of self eminence.

[DangerRifai]

lmao this video is evidence that Omar wears the pants in this relationship.

[chippee808]

the mars volta is perfect when they dont throw half of their equipment off the stage

[WaketheSheeple]

Such a sick band.

[oblique65]

love the Mexican flags covering the bass cabs. viva mexico!

[guitarboy12]

Does anyone know where that cymbal went? 

[Dantso]

what a crazy moment at 4:55

[boogershambert]

Thats what I call a frontman

[jagpirate]

the first lyrics Cedric sings ("something came over me... and I don't know what it was") are from a Throbbing Gristle song, the next line is "was it white and sticky". and they always claimed the only drugs they quit were opiates, that still leaves plenty of others. oh, and they've said many times that they hate music festivals- this is their way of expressing it I guess

[blues2oo]

Oh my doG! this is insane. Lolz

[ShinyHeartDiary]

Never seen a man dance like this man before.

[xcPhilxc]

@ShinyHeartDiary

Jim Morrison man...jim morrison

[leomack665]

@ShinyHeartDiary Ian Curtis had some good moves too haha

[Keplaffintech]

ahah they've got stagehands all over the place trying to fix the mess cedric's making

[cancel432]

And all the croud does is stand and wave there fists..

[dockaiser]

Good cocaine is half the rent..

[dockaiser]

I could imagine they had some serious issues in their past

[Horomaru]

Did Omar bitchslap Cedric in 4:55 or he was just mad with the camera guy? Also, which song were they playing?

[ColoredPig]

@Horomaru

I think he did... Cedric probably would've taken the camera and thrown it into the crowd. Don't know about the song though sorry.

[Horomaru]

@ColoredPig Well that's just crazy. Thanks for answering me, bro.

[PhilUpProductions]

@Horomaru im pretty sure it was improv as it was mostly just a jam and cedrics lyrics where random and not from any of thier songs, i own them all ha ha and have read and reread them, and he was prolly just mad at the camara guy, cuz i think Omar would have bitch slapped him back lol... drugs will do this to you :)

[Horomaru]

@PhilUpProductions Actually, I think Omar did slap Cedric. He probably was too darn high to think straight. And the song is Day of the Drunkship Lanters ESP.

[PhilUpProductions]

@Horomaru well then omar is a hell of a good sport, and wow i checked my librairy, i have everything from Deloused to Octahedron exept for Scab Dates... but it didnt come up... was it a live song from scab dates? since it was a concert album i didnt think to buy it.

[Horomaru]

@PhilUpProductions Hahaha I was joking, man. The song they're playing in this video is too damn tripy to be recognized; I just made that name up (:

[PhilUpProductions]

@Horomaru ahhh its "drunkenship of lantterns" thats not wut there playing but it exists :)... now i have to find out wut is missing from my colection

[Horomaru]

@PhilUpProductions Exactly. The song name I made up was just a random mash of Drunkship of Lanterns, Days of the Baphomets and Cicatriz ESP (:

[PhilUpProductions]

@Horomaru oh ha i have it i looked right over it, track five on deloused, and nice trippin me up ha, day of the baphomets is an amazing song btw :D

[PhilUpProductions]

@PhilUpProductions damn man tripped me up, dont they have a song with drunken and lantterns in the tittle? its not in my library but i remember having something like that on my old computer, now ill have to check out scab dates lol.

[hainesb09]

cedric looks like hes fucking speedin like hell

[fawkthescene666]

haha and then rides the amp head like a bull wtf

[fawkthescene666]

trying to tear the camera out of the guys hand haha fukin epic video

[betukoso]

ahhh q pasado verga

[yayayayayaya36]

it's hilarious that paul's amp wasn't even mic'd.

[leraginasian]

great footage!

[johanna717]

I want to bury my face in Omar's hair!

[shadyjimbo]

what the fuck is cedric on??!!! He's awesome

[Caligula138]

Fuckin Jam band

[SpasmOfJoy]

Cedric is amazing. :)

[legitstuff]

hes like a little kid with extreme ADHD

[niel80]

This is so simple!...... THEY SUCK !.... The gear doesent make the artist, the drug acid dances doesn't make an artist, playing a bass on E for more than 7 minutes doesn't make you a musician, PLAYING the MARACAS! with out a mic Makes you a Mariachi!, But a Mariachi would not hire this guy!, trowing stuff or gear to the crowd makes you an IMBECIL!....So we just saw and example or tutorial of Assholes for dummys or What not to do on stage! THEY JUST SUCK...PIRIOT...BYEEE!

[cptkillalot]

@niel80 how cedric acts on the stage has absolutely nothing to do with how good their music is. also go listen to one of their albums like frances the mute or deloused before saying anything stupid about a band you don't know, on a video recorded with a crappy camera mic

[niel80]

@cptkillalot Dude!... I'm been following this guys sirca at the drve in!, saw at the drive in in San Diego, and that was a good band, and then saw this guys 2 times in LA and San Diego and I must admit they are NOT! good live, they do this kinda shit, that even other people around me were like bored and stuff, by the other hand, Sparta! I saw them once and thats how you do a show, powerfull by their music and their presense on the satge, not by danzing and trying to be like they don't mind

[cptkillalot]

@niel80 you obviously just dont understand the complexity of their music and maybe prog rock in general, its just not your style. sparta is not even worth comparing to mars volta, its just not the same style of music, that would be like comparing apples to oranges, even if cedric and omar were in at the drive in with the guys from sparta

[cptkillalot]

@niel80 and by the way, mars volta did not won a grammy for nothing, go listen to the album bedlam in goliath, youll know why they won with this album, if you even understand what theyre doing. also, if people looked «bored and stuff» like you said, its because they were listening, a good show doesnt mean that people are screaming their heads off or moshpitting

[niel80]

@cptkillalot ok when pople starts to leav the place, Its because?......

[jasonnnf]

@niel80 no, of course, obviously, they triunphed around the world because they suck right? I suggest you to get one of their albums so you can UNDERSTAND what they play, ok? the virtuosity of this guys, and then, you'll understand that if they want to jam for 50 minuts on E, is because they want, because they can play whatever the fuck they want, ok? I suggest you to shut the fuck up, and listen, and if you don't like it, go the the videos you probably look everyday, like justin bieber for sure

[yourname50]

@niel80

SUCCESSFUL TROLL IS SUCCESSFUL.

[Saladbowl]

haha, fucking crazy man - Cedric is such a moody diva haha, gotta love it

[Antom1234]

fucking perfect

[cavigo]

what the fuck was that?

[BigTymerPimp]

@ZachArgo You'd be right about that. They were influenced by Nirvana in those times, but so were many bands. TMV and ATDI are influenced by much more than just Nirvana though. There is a big Can, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, and King Crimson influence on them. Not to mention all the salsa music. Then, you got all their world music influences.

[Paperhouse81]

Stupid Question: Why does he have a mexican flag in the background? Is it because the singer is mexican?

[BigTymerPimp]

@Paperhouse81 That's Juan's bass amp. He is full Mexican I believe. As for Cedric(singer) is half Mexican and half German, but born in America.

[Paperhouse81]

@BigTymerPimp Oh ok. coo, thanks for the insight. I had no idea 99% of the band was latino...kinda like Rage against the machine. Lead singer whines and is mexican...same idea.

[BigTymerPimp]

@Paperhouse81 Actually the keyboard player(Ikey) is black. 

[mariam199]

@BigTymerPimp Juan was borned in CA actually

[BigTymerPimp]

@mariam199 I should have known that from all the early work he did with Paul Gilbert in California.

[ododbobo]

this is music

[clipcalhoon]

this is fucking insane ahahaha

[adawg37]

@ZachArgo Kinda yeah. I still havent seen Cedric elbow drop the drummer mid song from a 2nd story blacony. ^_^

[kenerep]

son la pura adrenalina el mejor grupo de todos los tiempos no hay otro igual desde tequisquiapan queretaro los escuchamos son unicos .

[SithMustard]

I love how Omar intervenes at 4:54. "Dude, don't get us sued!"

[danielmehta1]

@SithMustard That was my favorite part. He's like "you've gone too far."

[Redeemedsinner17]

Hehe

WTF?

[ScottOnTubeTV]

freedom

[fishlimpet]

this is a gift from god

[rudobuquadrant]

I would hate to be the sound guy for this band.

[drogoknotwise12345]

I honestly don't care about how much of a hypocrite Cedric is. He sounds awesome and makes the concerts all the better.

[JesusChrysler602]

look at all these haters! go TMV! i wont call you guys "hypocrite" or less ATDI, you know why? cause im a REAL fan!

[zaprudermacphee]

sadly, nowhere close to ATDI

[a1stack]

cedrics such a dick, thats a good way to kill someone. i would laugh my ass off if he got sued. omar should find a new singer. just a though.

[themarsvoltafan1215]

i would call this imrov rock

[DysphoricExemption]

@themarsvoltafan1215 there is no improv in mars volta sets.

[cseanrun1]

@DysphoricExemption i wouldn't go and say that, there is a lot of structure to the live set but they do allow times for free expression, if you search interviews you can find omar explaining that its not necessarily improv but expressionism

[NoncomposMentis90]

cedric sucked my cock after this show...

[MrsBixlerZavala]

@NoncomposMentis90 No you sucked you own...

[NoncomposMentis90]

@MrsBixlerZavala umm no it was cedric. his afro tickled my balls

[MrsBixlerZavala]

@NoncomposMentis90 yeah you wish

[MrsBixlerZavala]

This is the craziest I've seen him! I thought he quit wit the acid!

He's still amazing though, and sexy! Even though he's spazzo

[darkgzero]

Oh and Omar didn't swat at Cedric @ 4:55 Omar whent at the camera guy for wrestling with Cedric he was just backing his homie up like every other person would

[distortedshorts]

@darkgzero He clearly swats at him.

[darkgzero]

Had anyone ever thought about how Cedrics rant could have been revenge to washingtonians for throwing piss at them the year or so ago?

[hermanmerman18]

i think he does it without thinking about it oh and he does do drugs

[atthedriveby1]

I love TMV but this performance is bullshit. I cant even tell what their playing, and Cedric is just a fucken douche bag sometime. Total hypocrite, he does everything he says hes against.

[atthedriveby1]

I love TMV but this performance is bullshit. I cant even tell what their playing, and Cedric is just a fucken douche bag sometime. Total hypocrite, he does everything he says hes against.

[ArgieMammon]

seriously, if that cymbal had hit me in the head, i would have punched cedric in the face.. im losing more and more for this guy, he gets one of the best drummers kicked out and afterwards he trashtalks about him like a little bitch. the fact is that he cant sing live, so he has to make all this antics or else people would find out..

[guerillafilmproduct]

@ArgieMammon

what did cedric say about pridgen? I never heard the

trast talk, please fill me in if you have a second..thanx

[strafe]

@guerillafilmproduct Prigden smoked all of Cedric's bud, so they kicked him out of the band

/sarcasm

[guerillafilmproduct]

@strafe

lol dude i got pridgen as a facebook friend,...that dude smokes a shitload of kush

[Temp144]

haha i like at 4:55 omar's like knock it off to cedric

[ThePajaromuerto]

@Temp144 jaja sii

[NoncomposMentis90]

i love the mars volta but fuck cedric. anthony green would be a better vocalist. too bad omar and cedric are married though

[Necropulsate]

@NoncomposMentis90 Fuck Anthony Green. Him and Johnny Craig ain't got shit on Cedric.

[themarsvoltafan1215]

MAN the must of been the greatest show EVER!!! this is going to live on as one of the most memorable moments in TMV history :)

[ohilikeyou]

William S Burroughs would be proud.

[pastalavista]

Hilariously insane, but that's what happens when you go on stage after a cocktail of every drug known to mankind!

[TheJesselee83]

haha this shit is fucking crazy! I love it! I think that this band is amazing about not getting too bogged down by an unenthusiastic audience. It doesn't have to mellow them out.

[Jordy2136]

Just chillen by the looks of it.

[et6yEhzxexzhrz]

Oh man, that's exactly what ADHD felt like for me as a kid! Exactly why I was always in trouble in elementary school!

[inaudiblefx323]

...and they still manage to stay together and tight.

Amazing.

[ilikepie11111]

LOL when cedric is wrestling for the camera Omar has to swat him away from it lololol

[EFFORTLESS7]

@ilikepie11111 yeah hahah is bud tryna get him out of trouble lmao

[canthinkverywell]

jesus fucking christ what the hell is this madness? what song is this? why isn't cedric in court? wtf!!!!????

[FLOODTHEVOID]

sasquatch festival. 2008. the gorge in george, washington.

[DysphoricExemption]

@canthinkverywell reminded me of the Doors show in CA when morrison was arrested for disorderly conduct. volta fucking rock
