The Mars Volta- Back up Against the Wall

[Arlosrep]

Somehow it's angrier and faster than the original.. that's quite an accomplishment, Cedric’s voice helps a lot to achieve that effect..

[nub4u]

that picture is like doppelganger cedric and omar...weird

[KraYarK]

Omar's voice ain't bad, but i'ts not made for hardcore punk.

[FondlingReply]

@KraYarK Not Omar homes, and Cedric can sing punk all fucking day, but I can see where you're coming from if you use this as an example.

[KraYarK]

@FondlingReply I'm awful matching faces and names, my bad. Anyways, the singing style when they were in At the drive in was better than this, in my opinion.

[FondlingReply]

@KraYarK Cedric's ATDI voice is definitely more tailor fit for punk, but this cover was basically in the context of "How would The Mars Volta sound doing Circle Jerks". Check this video out for a better example of Cedric doing punk.

[KraYarK]

@FondlingReply I definitely get your point. That Black Flag's cover sounds so fucking nasty!

This one was more like just that, Mars Volta singin' Circle Jerks. Btw, pardon my english, i'm from Spain.

[FondlingReply]

@KraYarK Nah man, your English is fine. Cedric actually has a pretty versatile singing voice. Dude's even done a chorus for a really good hip-hop song by Handsome Boy Modeling School called "A Day in the Life".

[bernardg51]

Cedric's eyes on Omar's face LOL

[earlajune]

oh god this is terrible!

[brenhampsten]

i like the mars volta.but this cover is shit

[cwhaxuallday]

i like the circle jerks, (original) version alot more, but this ones okay

[isoleamebuthappysoul]

@Brimboras Just because another band covers a song by a band that you love, doesn't mean that they're trying to copy it. They enjoyed the song, so they decided to record their own version of it.

[Brimboras]

the other sing about this song is that they took a few familiar cell phone rings and put it in the song. and thought i didn't notice. swift kick alright ;)

[Brimboras]

I get more angry every time I listen to this particular version of this song. it keeps bringing me back. I hate it that much. and yet. it's bringing me back. fine i'm in heart with marsion volta

[DaMarsVoltaFan]

@Brimboras wtf?

[Brimboras]

@DaMarsVoltaFan what? not sure how i can explain myself more? i love this song more and more each time i listen to it espeically this version that's the reason the mars volta are as evil as they are do you need me to sexplain it again why do i have to you are the one that needs to consult the english dictionary sir circle jerks dominate all forms of life mars volta are only precious because they mentioned circle jerks' name in same sentence then tried to copy their song capiche?

[Brimboras]

rofl that they would cover the circle jerks. kudos to them. i use a song like kudos because generally this band (the mars volta) sux the gaycack.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

@Brimboras The Mars Volta are fucking amazing. GTFO.

[MurcielagoAI]

original is much better

[SoGeeAlmostEich]

im not gonna lie...but the picture scared the shit outta me!...i was like: whoah...somethings not right

[agonaces]

great cover.

[mommyimadeapoopy]

20000x better than the original

[DaMarsVoltaFan]

@mommyimadeapoopy both songs are great :)

[zosothedestroyer]

@mommyimadeapoopy fuck off with that shit

[ZappaSauriio]

@mommyimadeapoopy

You must be jokin'...

No way Cedric can beat Keith Morris...

[iAMnoxon]

AAARGH WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT???? AAAARGH MY EARS ARE BLEEDING FROM THIS FUCKING SHIT

[miceskin]

@iAMnoxon That's the sound of your brain being cracked open from it's old narrow minded ways.

[Dredefecto]

I heard cedric and omar dress each other, and shower together. it just goes to show that they are not afraid of being best of friands, in every way, no matter what, if more people acted like that the world would be a very different place. now thats punk.

[thegoodusernameman]

@Dredefecto hahahaha awh cracked me up! nice

[HaydenFromHell]

hahahahaha I just realized that their eyes in this picture are switched.

[CyrusFingColley]

It's not the best of the 6 covers made from the Bedlam in Goliath stuff, but it's not bad at all.

[TrueStonerArmy]

uggghhhh...... I think i just threw up out of my ears!

[messerpl]

Świetny cover !

[luis12w]

SUCH A good cover!!

[remyrem121]

I actually think this is better than the original.Sue me.

[spicyMcHAGGIS9green]

I'm not digging Cedric's vocals here.

[CCCPintheUSA]

Jesus fucking christ these guys should be drawn and quartered for recording this shit. I mean, at the Drive-In wasn't too bad...but the Circle Jerks deserve way better than this appalling bullshit. The Mars Volta should stick to what they do,which is not attempt to cover awesome hardcore songs. Fuck these guys.

[CyrusFingColley]

@CCCPintheUSA Yeah, because drawing multiple influences is for LOSERS.

[renanpunx]

foda demais, essa banda eo a do cover que eles estão tocando

[punkorama94]

dude, their eyes are freaking me the fuck out! and totally loving this, on songs like this you can really feel the punk sound on Bedlam <3

[les199]

this fucking sucks thay just killed a gr8 punk song

[schooloflosers]

Did anyone ever commented that this is a Circle Jerks cover?

[VioletChildBand]

omar looks tight with cedrics eyes, but cedric looks freaky with omars eyes...

:P

[canthinkverywell]

@VioletChildBand i notice no difference in cedric actually o.O

[peaceandamrit]

doesnt anyone realize wat a cover is suppose to be.........its not suppose to be a dublicate of a bands song

[BEERxxPiRATE]

I DON'T LIKE CEDRIC FAT ASS HAIR!

i like it like this here!

=D

[KNWProductions]

Mars Volta is cool...but they really fucked up this song...no one can sing like keith morris

[BEERxxPiRATE]

THEY REMIND ME OF LED ZEPPLIN

i'm new to TMV, so what do i know

[nirv420]

swearrr i was starin @ ced and outta the corner of my eye i seen omar grin!!!

[CerpinTaxt1983]

cedric looks sooo fucking crazy with omars black eyes!!

[ibexr88]

whoaaa los ojos jajaja

[imtanneryo]

i dont mind tmv but they fucked up a great song.

[DaMarsVoltaFan]

why?

[stoltobot]

why what?

[JavierYahoo]

They switched eyes. Thats all.

[Skapete]

Damn! This is awesome!

[Loony0Bin]

Yeah definitely pridgen

[jimbolimbo99]

i love the mars volta and circle jerks.

does anyone know which drummer is playing on this?

it sounds like pridgen, but i'm not sure..

[JaffarDS]

It's Pridgen.

[carlitox14]

hahaha the pictures

[DaMarsVoltaFan]

hoola vengo a flotarrr xD

carleetox :)

[chinodmente04]

yeah!! what the hell? lol

ni parecen ellos mismos

ellos no son tmv jaja

[Brimboras]

@carlitox14 this song is sung in english i think you should talk about it in english. bitch.

[cirericous]

@Brimboras i totally hope you get beat down and hospitalised in a foreign country, far from where your family can help you. That would be the ultimate justice for a xenophobe with racist overtones. China would be good, what with all the walls they've got up.

[JamesOfDoom]

Woah that picture's freaking me out, they've swapped eyes haha!

[mikj48]

i feel bad if you're a guy because a straight guy shouldn't know that.

[kmacmuzikmafia27]

um, why not??

[DaMarsVoltaFan]

If anyone want the song, message me and I will send it to you :)

[hardcortezticles]

grabe ang galing ng Mars Volta mas may impact na version ng BUATW

[winnerbaby44]

i wish this song was longer!

[AirHendrix91]

[bgirlmavi]

You obviously have a small perspective on what good music should sound like. thats ok though, I wouldnt want morons listening to The Mars Volta anyways, so you go listen to your shitty music mister "iillkillyou7" haha!!!

[Nafertikus2411]

These two fellows definitely aren't Cedric and Omar unless the eyes and noses are Photoshopped.

[CerpinTaxt1983]

it is cedric and omar and it is photoshopped.

[HydraulicSandwich]

Witch drummer is this? is sounds like Prigden to me.

[CerpinTaxt1983]

that pic looks soo fucking cool ! omar looks like a killer with drak eyes!

[volcanovape420]

[NeedleZ666]

[bigboiiiii110994565]

[popkorn2906]

[AirHendrix91]

I got it off the Puzzle contest on their site. You had to solve this picture puzzle to win the free track but it took an hour to get it right for me.

[AirHendrix91]

Ha noobs. I won this myself. Didn't need a Youtube version to hear it :D

But that puzzle was mad hard though.

[PABLOVONMULE]

WOW. I knew I loved TMV for a reason! I noticed the switched eyes too. LOL

[JSR8008]

[DaMarsVoltaFan]

together with the recording of the bedlam in goliath, there are like 5 o 6 covers from different bands made my them, the thing is that is some kind of bonus cd together with the bedlam in goliath. Check the wikipedia for more details :D

[dwdrumsk8er]

[GuillotineCancer]

That picture never ceases to amaze me. Omar looks incredibly sexy with Cedric's eyes and nose. :O

This cover is amazing; they did a great job with it.
