[JamesStorey09]

Thomas Pridgen has a completely different style to most drummers, his chops are just insane!!

[thresholdXCI]

No description available? No description needed.

[Darryliscool]

[cranegyver]

Who needs narcotics when there is just great music like this to give you a natural high :)

[TheArnyPalmy]

Thomas Pridgen has rhythmic ADHD

[AmandaThreetsB]

@TheArnyPalmy seriously



[Gd21guns1]

50% percent of americans today believe that marijuana should be legalized, the the other half know about The Mars Volta

[hatzihatzi1]

Thomas Pridgen & Co. > The Mars Volta

[Lonewaft]

i like this song

it gives me the

jeebers

[macplumber]

the internet is a buzzing fail congratz!...just kinda lostmy shit cant stand seeing people be retarded about the same shit overe n over with different names...n it's tou tube comments they've made it so it is more efficent to reduce grammar..web platforms equal logical reductions catered 2 the l.c.d.

[SKORGEIOLOGIST909]

favorite song on this album. live version is so much better

[keaton223]

@SKORGEIOLOGIST909 this and goliath together is one of the most epic things ive ever heard.... simply incredible

[TheChexer1231]

Hipster B-Gone

[macplumber]

hipster is a word record companies developed to aid the validation of there product. and is being used to allow development of stale models of music and imagery both by majorlable and indiegroups alike this dirty "H" word means to make less of ones opinions by saying your opion of there opinion is your validation of the standard at wich we should be encouraged in society2 make and create expession....its a bad word used to often like emo...fuckingtrend marketing.

[pyurmassacur]

@macplumber yeah well you're a plumber.

[paradigmnine]

@macplumber lol. wall of text has 2 periods. no way this guy could molest children, they'd wonder wtf he's talking about with his shitty grammar/spelling.

[macplumber]

@viletree KungLaoChicken and anyone else who is further down but i am to lazy to give any regard... STOP LITTERING. your hurting the music with your complexs of superioity. There is no such thing as hipsters man if you listen to manufactured crap n i listen to this im better! if im not we should all listen to fax machines cause it could be considerd expressin'yersef!? get over it! you wish you were cool so you sound like my grandfather when you use that word. that word is like "emo" wuz 10yrsago

[Riveascor]

Gawd, Thomas Pridgen is a beast :D

[viletree]

Getting past the boring drumming and tech garbage, the vocalist is incredible and they can write some decent music at times. They're alright in my book not the best, but Frances the mute is a killer album,

[InjectionViru]

@viletree Your a fool if you think thomas pridgen's drumming for this band up until he left is boring, he's incredible at drums, Your a dumbass the whole band is all around good, the only really good parts are the drums and the vocals.

[KungLaoChicken]

@viletree you sound like a hipster and a music bigot. Your opinion doesn't hold enough precedence to decide whether or not a band is good or not. So shut the fuck up.

[viletree]

@KungLaoChicken Fuck off kid. I'm commenting regarding two aspects of the music, and like it the only hipster response is the butthurt fan who obviously can't stand that someone else has a more mechanic guide of taste when it comes to this band. They aren't that great

[KungLaoChicken]

@viletree lmao I actually don't care for The Mars Volta all that much, not a single song from them is in my itunes.

And take some time to read over your comment again - "...someone else who has a more mechanic guide of taste." First of all, you're grammatically incorrect so stop trying to act smart in your comments. Second of all, you are trying to prove your superiority in music taste. That makes you the hipster. I'm not getting into a youtube battle with your ignorant ass so don't reply.

[pyurmassacur]

@viletree Aren't that great? How many albums have you released? And "more mechanic guide of taste", lol what the fuck am I reading?

I think you pull off the Hipster guise pretty well. Your language is over-convoluted, contrived and you make it pretty clear that you just don't like the band for the sake of it. Ever thought of writing for Pitchfork?

[crenshawjeffrey]

@viletree DAT HIPSTER. Quit being a condescending douchenozzle

[viletree]

@crenshawjeffrey Do you molest children?

[crenshawjeffrey]

@viletree Go back to 4chan

[raven66614]

So is this drummer a human being ?

[TheConditionedHuman]

@raven66614 Is anyone in this band really a human being? maybe ikey, maybe..

[ZOMBEEKILLA]

@raven66614 He's a savant which is french for "Retarded Awesome"

[93Manta]

@raven66614

Zach Hill practicing February 2011

[Ryan115121225]

@raven66614 yes but he's from the future...

[MadMagzzz]

@Ryan115121225 Well, that AND he's black!

[bdcalix]

@raven66614 super saiyan i'd say

[cod4TheDriver01]

@raven66614 ahaah yes sir, I saw him live in Milan a few years ago. He is human =D

[TheAoStation]

@raven66614 Yes, sadly he quit the band :(

[YertlePsychoStain]

@TheAoStation correction, he got fired.

[ThtTerracottaDrummer]

Thomas Pridgen on DRUMS. enough said.

[penpaperart]

for description should put insane drums XD

[owtinoz]

only The Mars Volta can rock the shit out of a 11/8

[Bensim44]

What a great song. Idiots are always saying this is bad.

[bilaxakin]

GREAT VOICE!!!!

[tmbasser]

Fricken' amazing.

[jacobuj]

This album is by far my favorite TMV album. So epic. I'm going to miss Thomas Pridgen. He's so damn good.

[Mattelliott1234]

I can hear a very prominent Rush influence in here, I fucking love rush, maybe I will come to love this band too, they're playing at a festival I'm going to I think I may check em out. btw people that haven't heard rush here, check em out!

[zatkins11]

@Mattelliott1234 be careful they can put on a poor live show. All of their albums are great though

[JHZildjian]

Pridgen needs to take it easy on that coke. Somehow, TMV avoids the pocket EVEN more now that he's with 'em.

R.I.P. Jon

[methylgofuckyourself]

What is this gay shit.. Where's the real Mars Volta.

[musiclover01ization]

@methylgofuckyourself This is the real mars volta. You are just an idiot

[methylgofuckyourself]

@musiclover01ization That was my drunk ass brother but this shit sucks compared to their older albums, dick cheese.

[PBdrummist]

About 50,000 of those views are from me... Give or take.

[stickgamer1]

7 people cant play drums to this song...or do the vocals to this song

[Wookash96]

@stickgamer1

Few more than 7 can't lmao

[marsvoltian]

Can someone tell me if anything by At the Drive-In is actually good, i cant seem to find anything i like. . ?

[troguester]

@marsvoltian try rolodex propaganda

[AyumuNarumi123]

@marsvoltian i recommend the whole relationship of command album. it's amazing. give it a few listens, it takes time to feel it.

[PAYPAMAKA]

@marsvoltian look up pattern against user, one armed scissor, enfilade, basically the whole relationship of command album. cedric and omar had a very different, more punk sound so you may not like them if you're more into tmv's prog rock vibe.

[KingsburyRunUK]

@jakerugg Couldn't of put it any better man, you have to listen to everything going on and listen to the way its arranged. its not just the drums that are mental in this (although they are incredible) the whole band follow those beats. organized insanity is exactly what it is... and they do it well!

[darthDew22]

this is impressive and whatever the guys can all play real well... but to be honest it just doesnt sound good.

[jakerugg]

@darthDew22 I guess that's why we have so many different artists to choose from! These guys play music that is so heavily layered that if you don't pay attention to the depth, it just sounds like chaos. But really, its organized insanity.



[CORNP00]

FOR THE RECORD:

My comment on pridgen was **sarcastic** id have to be psycologically fucked to actually think he sucks....

[Kozlen]

deantoni parks beats the absolute FUCK out of pridgen. hes also the new drummer for the volta. you will see..

[Spunjo1221]

@Kozlen nah

[Twithisrad]

@Kozlen Its actually Dave Elitch...

[Kozlen]

@Twithisrad dave is out. deantoni is in.

[Twithisrad]

@Kozlen Yeahhhh, i did a wee bit of research AFTER I posted that. Not a my finest move...

[Twithisrad]

@Twithisrad 

[CORNP00]

god pridgen is terrible at the drums

[Spunjo1221]

@CORNP00 Yeah right man. He's the shit. Way better than you!

[Scumbagization]

@CORNP00 if you're gonna troll, at least put effort into it

[DevourMyself]

FALSETTO!

[seth56guitar]

@DevourMyself was up nigga

[Danerage]

@DevourMyself

There's very little falsetto here. The highest notes are not falsetto, but there's a few lines that end in a falsetto run for effect.

[Skepios]

@Danerage It's hard to tell with Cedric sometimes, few people have such a huge vocal range.

[MaidenFloydTallica13]

their drummer is SOOOOO gangsta

[CrispyXR]

@MaidenFloydTallica13 Thomas Pridgen.. check him out man, everything he does is as insane as this!

[Flaitesexy]

ITS OVER 9000!!!!!!!!!!!!

[partyboysproduction]

....the drum tabs probably look ridiculous....

[allcrap10]

what a imagine to create this awesome song..

[AcidBogey]

I only found out about this band recently, 'cause of At the Drive-In, and am EXTREMELY happy I did

[Fabian2121]

fucking thomas pridgen man, my fucking idol

[nightlycrazex]

amazing insanity!!

[theori93]

this is the first song ever no one disliked it. that just shows how good it is

[bitchiteen]

@theori93 ha look again

[smarty3000]

i wish this song was longer every time i listen to it

[Pheonixdarkdirk]

I don't see how my friend can't enjoy listening to this band. He says Cedric sings "too high" for him. I tell him he's an idiot.

[squizz222]

@Pheonixdarkdirk So he's an idiot for having an opinion?

[Tedunnizzlejiz]

How are this band not known!!!

[dblyoi]

@Tedunnizzlejiz how is you talk bad english?

[SpiderShane1]

@dblyoi HA!

[Arod006enforcer]

dude i cant beileve they kicked out thomas!

[simondetorres]

@Arod006enforcer and i can't believe how they put dave elitch instead of him :S

[wwwsuckmycoockorg]

@Arod006enforcer they didnt kicked him. thomas left because he wanted express himself in other stiles of music, but i think this stile for him is really not bad :DD

[dannypurple1979]

@wwwsuckmycoockorg Thomas was fired because he was sick and tired of playing live and he started becoming a pain in the ass. Omar fired him. Its not as dramatic as it sounds.

[sickpuppy4o20o1]

@dannypurple1979 i heard it was for smoking weed erryday (without the erryday part)

[wwwsuckmycoockorg]

@dannypurple1979

maybe truth, but i am just saying what thomas said in interview. he could have lied

[beforeiwaspunk]

Fact: It's impossible to be in any sort of bad mood while listening to The Mars Volta.

[mattbigbangflx]

i want to play that song on drum :O

[5Atmv]

what will become of this song with the new drummer?

[chemist141]

Mars Volta Owns!!! Thomas Pridgen Rocks!!!!

[Protesthedrummer7]

Thomas Pridgen is his name, drumming is his game.

[Zombie1990]

I like the prog elements in this song. The drummer has some serious skill too.

[MysteryClown000]

The bass is fucking cool too.

[MysteryClown000]

Rage!

[xSenshii]

The only shit part is at 2:39

[plantera07]

fastest 2.39 of my life

[johnnycakeface]

tom pridgen is insane!

[sonofagoob]

It sounds great... but i'm just not sure the drummer can tear it up... ;)

[jvtherrien]

Does my waiting howl?

[mtp234]

Don't! Know! Don't! Know! Don't! Know! etc

[Mkamalid]

insane drums !

[LEGEND05012]

@Mkamalid thats Thomas Pridgen at his greatest if not then he still is bad ass!

[AFIrulez721]

@Mkamalid Thomas Pridgen is the fucking man.

[Chr0maticAttack]

@Mkamalid Just watch him on Letterman...dang.

[esp1344]

@Mkamalid the most insane drums in the fuckin world bro.....
