The Mars Volta Interview on The Sauce

[Lonewaft]

240p we meet again

[TheTugucci]

what was the last question?

[andthemushrooms123]

@TheTugucci 1st tattoo i thought he said?

[VoiceofCthulhu]

"Fuck it. WHOOPS!"

[PBJANDHIGHFIVES]

This interviewer fucking sucks.

[LzrdKng9000]

anyone who has to interview bands on shows like this always seems pretty lame. this dude isn't the lamest i've seen, even tho he's kinda lame

[retrohippie]

The interviewer is not that bad...

[Fhortress]

el entrevistador es un pendejo asno

[Frostbanman]

"nice"

[iilyena]

its his fav band but he dont know the name to the songs

[PeachesAndSkeet]

@iilyena I don't think the album had even come out yet....

[bullet31]

lol i remember first watching this very cringy but all good. I assume omars first tattoo he doesnt want to talk about is on his ass

[ajesusgoat]

there all sitting in the same pose

what the fuck lol.

also cedric seems like he dosent really want to be on this shit.

[PrimalHateGrind]

The interviewer was good, Cedric and Omar just feel the need to be pretentious because they're making Prog Rock.

[TheInvisibleCollege]

God this band is awesome.

[Dietpill]

Donkey Choking A Waffle!!! hahahahahahaha. That's amazing

[TheMerksquad]

"Like a donkey choking a waffle" hahaha thats on the inside part of the vinyl for bedlam sketched in so you can barley read it.so fuckin cool

[darkestification]

Very awkward interview 

[magicbag6790]

omar discribed volta in more than 5 words "A DONKEY CHOKING A WAFFLE" _6:11 [stupid audience]

[matthewhenson1]

I don't think the interview is too bad at all...the guy actually really likes the band! xx

[NINmindfreak27]

@matthewhenson1 Yeah, haha it's Steven Smith. He interviews his favorite bands a lot, and he's been doing it for a long time

[captaindisfunction]

...I don't think it's the interviewers fault that this was awkward.

Looks like he tried really hard to keep the pace up and stuff but their answers were very yes/no

[san1tarium2oo8]

Cedric and Omar look like they don't wanna be there. I don't blame them.

[lalalalala5151]

i like the interviewer and any guy who says "its tv were not pulling anyone out of a fire dont worry about it" is ok with me

[iaskedformercy]

they talk like that so the american viewers can understand the questions

[hermanmerman18]

all you idiots that say steven sucks are wrong he has had many shows about ROCK on fuse he is succesful and not lame so fuck you judgemental assholes

[backenedofforever]

wow, a donkey choking a waffle.i love these guys

[aGothicStory]

damn, no idea whatsoever that Cedric is a high school dropout...

[JOKERH4H4]

@aGothicStory I know...

[BrixSnBs]

It takes the interviewer about 20 seconds to ruin the little credibility that he had... Nice goin'

[Mikeus2006]

i think the interviewer listens to Nickleback and Celine Dion

[MsFudgemaster]

Why is everyone ripping on the interviewer? He's just doing his job. I doubt any of you could conduct a better interview.

[maxrutc09]

blade runner and silent running, both awesome films

[slugseverywhere]

omar's little joke at 5:31 goes right over the interviewer's head. funny.

[MLDK781]

@slugseverywhere what did he say .. cedric laughs also in it

[ChaostheClown]

@slugseverywhere lol I caught that, too.

[kittenkilla123]

this interviewer is lame

[shhhrooms]

i thought the host was a bit queer but at he at least could connect pretty decently on a personal level. you could tell they had something funny going on

[andytheR]

i don't think they have tattoos

[deadzone9]

@andytheR yeah cerdic and omar have lots check out old ATDI clips

[TheSixthNut]

your dumb dude. look at any of their pictures.

[middywashere]

cedric does and omar does

[nagash89]

lol, do you actually know the band?

[trippletsense]

damn that's why you don't play with those things!!!

[thedukeofrosco]

ok so fairplay the interviewer is a bit annoying but its got to be hard work interviewing these two. Not exactly helping the guy out much with their tired sounding responses. I realise the questions have probably been asked plenty of times before and arent exactly challenging but for fucks sake!

[ragecody]

your an idiot willkill4weed, what are you even doing on here?

[kamon123456789]

the amount of faggotry from this host hurts so bad

[Mazun]

you said it

[WillKill4Weed]

i know that you fucking idiot im just saying theres a different meaning god dam your just repeating what the other asshole said. im just backing up my point. god fucking read right, and stop with the @ shit i know its directed to me.

[Pampermelon]

Wow this interview made everything so awkward, and those couches looked really uncomfortable.

[MarzMerz]

this interviewer is the biggest fag, trying to become the band's friend when they dont give a shit about him

[xmellen]

ha they're all so cute and little, they can just sit like little kids, sitting on their feet.

well, the only cute ones are cedric and omar..

this interviewer is lame

[WillKill4Weed]

Bars??? lol this isnt rap lol.

[huginandmunin]

how are bars exclusively rap? that makes absolutely no sense, every piece of music ever in existence anywhere in any given time and space has bars. thats like saying the rules of grammar only apply to the french language.

[WillKill4Weed]

because in most raps people have 16 bars, bars meaning how many sentences or lines their about to spit.

[huginandmunin]

no that isn't what a bar is.

[WillKill4Weed]

in the rap world bars mean lines. so shut the fuck up and get off my nuts god dam  fan boy.

[huginandmunin]

just sayin'. you're wrong. horribly. hahaha.

[WillKill4Weed]

naw i know what im talking about, listen to Mac Dre's 16 bars and runnin; its a CD that compilates all his best verses and all of his verses are 16 bars so it equals one verse thus saying bars also means verses. Theres different meanings you dumb bitch/

[iuhuh10110]

@WillKill4Weed

you're a dumbass. what you're talking about is like in poetry. this is a discussion about music, so he's obviously talking about bars in music. he wasn't saying "we're going to improv ___ verses" he meant it more like "we're going to improv ___ measures". if they were rappers or poets then what you're saying would make sense, but they're a band, they play music, so stfu.

[WillKill4Weed]

I make the town move just by walkin on your block

Take the keys to yo city but I still picked the locks

Buy a car and a glock put the cash in my socks

put the beat in the trunk so ya hear the shit knock

To hell with the law the freeways mines

so is yo freak, radios, and alpines

Coke wit a little bit of cherry lemon lime

Ya think of me ya think of big money everytime

Kennel Cole shine like the trigger of a nine

Orca was a whale but pisces is the sign

[tbht713]

lol so true man

[4NrAGS]

they're so down. hahaha

[XxExplomonkeyxX]

"like a donkey choking a waffle"

[01jarf]

he trade d a hit of acid for the tattoo i heard??

[maddiethegr8]

yes, that is correct

[linxcor]

ha amputated tmv

(um in regards to how theyre both sitting)

yes blade runner weve heard lmao<3

[thestormlscoming]

hahahhaha "like a donkey choking a waffle"

[TheGhostsofRome]

I fucking love Omar!!!!

[OneMinusThree]

I know a Nick D..I wonder if that was his question?

[whinnifred]

Cedric brings up the movie Blade Runner in almost every interview... kinda funny.

[SIHELL]

we,, it's a kick ass movie, why wouldn't he?

[Eljonno]

lol the interviewer's so lame

[ldeguzman]

@Eljonno what would you expect from a guy with a GooGoo Dolls hairdo?

[NINmindfreak27]

@Eljonno I love Steven Smith haha.

[vaith777]

@Eljonno

No kidding.  I almost feel bad hosting such a terrible interview but they still try and have some fun with it so I can live with it. Not many people get away with saying fuck on live tv lol

[dmcoheed18]

hard latin prog

[Supaduck0]

the interviewer kinda made himself look silly

[peckydoom]

hahahahaha idiot

[TheKaveSF]

the score=YOU->ZERO

[XguitarrockerX]

Great interview. Like a donkey choking a waffle haha!

But the background music is annoying.

[codebabe]

lmao you think at the drive in are better or are you joking? tmv are much better than at the drive in by any musician who has been around a while.

[FrutcheyProductions]

totally different bands with totally different styles. you sir, are wrong.

[MPrint666]

Simpleton

[jees91]

you know they did drugs in atdi and quit during the mars volta

[VergilFermin]

A Donkey Choking A Waffle!!! this guys are just artistic and hilarious!

[MistahJ74]

everybody should watch the nardwuar interviews with mars volta. now those are great interviews. not this asshole.

[diogonegri]

"we just said, fuck it.. sorry. (strange face)"

HAHAHAHAHA 4:50

[straightedge182]

ha dude, they're way too good for that fuckin show.

[ShroudedInVeilz]

"stupid soothsayer"

LOLFAIL

[xVaultx]

Goliath did it.

[sdfgshjg]

"i've been a fan since the tremulant ep"

yeah fucking right. you know they laughed on the inside. they look so unhappy & bored at this interview compared to others on youtube.

[codebabe]

well actually he said ive been listening to you guys since the tremulant ep. didnt mean he liked it right away, he could have heard about it because he knew they were from at the drive-in. a few of my friends found out that way and heard the tremulant ep when it came out. this guy seems decently genuine to me. dont get why people are ripping him apart. he's a far cry away from what i would consider an awful interviewer.

[sdfgshjg]

0:31 - pause. his expression. LMAO. his hair. LMAO.

[grayfox823]

donkey choking a waffle

hell yeah lol

[frunkiss]

I was at the show the previous night. they played for maybe 2:45 at most, not 3:30. this guy stinks.

[liquefiedbutter]

i would of decked the interverwer if i was them

[verdenodela1]

What is the tattoo on Cedric's wrist called?

[vicmonsterr]

They're sitting in the same position....i believe this band is amazing :D

[Chandrogynous]

That was one of the first things I noticed...their seating positions. Odd....

[NotGabeNewell]

Yeah, Omar tells everyone except Cedric what to play. Cedric lays down his lyrics after everyone else has recorded.

[brunobliss]

why isn't the rest of the band there??? i actually consider the bass drums and keyboard the most consistent live, specially the bassist, he's solid!

[TCAWhat]

Because Omar composes everything and Cedric is the Frontman.

[brunobliss]

he composes the bass lines, keyboards and drum sets? hmmmm

[ElPulpoTX]

there band members change so much and theirs so many diffrent people.

[Ulmeyda08]

Why is American TV so patronising, it's like they talk to their guests like children.

[verdenodela1]

The Soothsayer is an interesting Mars Volta topic, but yeah I agree. The host sucks.

[toastyrolla]

@Ulmeyda08 because the viewers only understand childrens' language.

[fkylw]

@Ulmeyda08 We are the butterflies that flap for a day and believe it's eternity.

[Grox]

@Ulmeyda08 fuse is canadian

[funkatram]

The music in the background is fucking annoying

[tyster23]

cool, I have the same shoes as cedric.

[BeuligXanderSatanPoo]

They'd probably be there if they wanted to be. I can't imagine fame being too fun.

[brendaandchons]

i love tmv but in general all band iterviews never include the drummers/bass and theyre like the back bone of the music... :(

[regretXXXnot]

the mars volta is just cedric and omar. they write all the songs. they other guys just play what they tell them to. basically.

[xEnemyLasagna]

The Mars Volta = Donkey choking a waffle.

FUCK YEAR

[SconeRabbit]

Cool, thanks for uploading

[plaguelandscapes]

the host is such a douche

[JEREMYTRUJEQUE]

haha indeed

[ideitbawx]

ditto

[mojoandpolly]

the comment about the shoes is so odd.

someone should slap that guy everytime he says stupid things.

[21Kyzix12]

lol "like a donkey choking a waffle"

[nickforce]

steven is a butt pickin' whitey.

[TSBTF1728]

hahaha totally.

What happened to him? He used to be kind of cool with pretty good music on his show.

[NickB33]

I get the feeling that the interviewer doesn't really "get" mars volta.

[PeaceKarmaLove]

I love waffles :D and this interview!

[beatrix716]

the interviewer is so annoying, i cannot watch the rest of this video

[wrangler34]

maybe you should chill out with the pretentious attitude and lighten up. He helped bring you more words of insight from this wonderful band. If you find him to be annoying your probably annoyed by pretty much anything.

[obdandzigzag]

no, the dude is a douche. the interview does not bring words of insight. shut up

[wrangler34]

Chill out with the elitist bullshit. Even Cedric wouldn't understand why you have your panties in such a bunch over a basic interview. They talked about the album and gave insight into it but I guess you with your nose up in the air pretending to be worth a damn you some how missed everything pertaining to the interview. Maybe not the best interview ever but it wasn't bad at all so cut your bullshit exaggerations. Grow up.

[kzad07]

I agree...the dude is a tool

[iliketolivealone]

G.R.A rocks!!!!!!

[IxAMxERROR]

i've noticed that when the interviewer is too serious and lacks a certain ammount of humor, cedric and omar get really lethargic, whereas if the interviewer is really funny and energetic they liven up

[RTDIOTI]

These guys are so out there that it's hard to codify their reality into mere words. I guess they just "understand" each other. Spectacular musicians, though.

[WC7495]

Like a Donkey Chocking a Waffle...holy shit I love Omar....

[CocoLedZeppelin]

you can tell that omar and cedric think this guys a complete idiot. haha

[dunebuggy666]

euphorae69 - well said.

[MissNezahualcoyotl]

yo amo OMAR RODRIGUEZ - LOPEZ !

[euphorae69]

that host guy is a fuckin douchebag.

[kmoj12345]

steves awesome, dont diss him.

[dachozn1]

Cedric and his darth vader helmet hair, lol, these guys kick fkn ass

[yeoldeface]

lmao omar, "we were just like fuck it. ooh, sorry."

[TheFreeshooter]

loved his expression after saying it

[divagoza]

i want to marrry omar!!!!!!!yugrtgl;sd

he is mighty fine

[monkeypanda87]

noooooo!!! i wanna marry <3 omar <3

i LOVE him so much!!

so so so much!

[KamakaziNinja79]

poligamy?

[jevrald]

the interviewer is a tosser

[THEFARSEER2]

true that

[nicsicsix]

as brilliant as donkey choking a waffle is, it is 6 words. If the interviewer had called him on that it might of actually given poor oldd omar and cedric something to do on the interview. They are bored.

[sprimusp]

yeah but they seem bored in every interview

[thirdeye22]

fucking dumbass interviewer

[zigazigAH13]

aw omar.

but seriously "like a donkey choking a waffle" that is genious. but what's with this guy not being able to say song titles?! i'm the whitest chick there is and i can say them. oh well.

[ilovegirlswithclass]

Stfu

[blackl1steddrums]

Ur comment had me LOLing. stfu bitch

[IPLAYDRUMS1234]

i didn't know chickens could read

[PumPumBandit]

hey bitch stfu

[trastuspasos]

ya les saque la ficha!!!!!!!!!, su obra habla de la biblia..."the widow" fala de la viuda que jesus se encontro frente al arca de los ricos. "frances de mute" speak of el code de la biblia,"leela entre lineas", quiebra the glass,no?lean el apocalipsis si quieren enterarse sobre los capuchas escarlata y purpura quienes nos manejan actualmente... se acerca el fin Omar!!!!! satanas esta en el vaticano, abre los ojos el octava now esta cerca... no pises california en la segunda mitad del 2010.chauk

[trastuspasos]

ehhh vengan para argentina!!!! otra vez!!!

[JustWatching6]

I love how Omar was freaking out about saying the f-word. That was pretty hilarious.

[freegas]

notice how cedric looks at his los tres ojos tattoo when they ask about their first tattoo.

[olg06]

what does that tat mean

[corruptedmonarch]

The Sauce??

no.

he does not even know how to interview them well.

they shouldn't even be on fuse because some of these bands that they interview are so mainstream...some..

it will suck if i see random people go

"OMG, TMV is like, so totally awesome!!!"

then if you start talking to them about their other songs and their background they say,

"like uumm i only know "The Widow" and " Ilyena"....

sorry but it's true.

[RastaKajn]

Like a donkey chocking a waffle. :)

Absolutely awesome.

[simplefreak23]

i watched this already

[RogerGilmour08]

haha congratulations

[soniafxinghalo]

everyone shut up about cedric's hair. its amazing. AMAZING. all he needs is a shave and he'd look spectacular.

and i love omar.

the mars volta deserves this.

[Clampdown11]

To be honest, Cedric and Omar are definitely not the 2 most social people when it comes to interviews. You can see that on any clip here, they pretty much resent interviews. But, even so, Steven does a good job of keeping the interview flowing the whole time. The funny thing for me though is to see the culture clash between Vans Warped Tour-central and a free-thinking, deeply talented, asocial Latin/Jazz/Rock/Prog duo try to explain their new record.

[WiiCreatorindustry]

this guy is such a douch! you can tell how bored omar is. he's fidgeting, silent, and all cedric is saying is "yeah, yeah". but omar's sense of humor is fantastic

[laxstarmp]

yes, he does kinda piss me off.

[akatsukiAlcamist]

wow waffle?

[laindienation]

Hmmm.. el entrevistador no vale 1 centavo.. que preguntas tan estùpidas, desperdiciò a Cedric y a Omar por completo "Metatron, I know what this is because I've seen Dogma" hmmm ok sure Cedric was talking about it.. not about a reference to the seraphim.
