The Mars Volta Shreds

[Masheww73]

these shredding videos are the best

[RetroReactive1038]

Now they sound like Hella!!! For real.

[efvio]

hahaha is really funny hahaha he's like a baby

[SaveyourSavior]

i THINK THE AUDIO NEEDS TO BE RE SYNCHED!

best vid on teh net

[musicman1401]

Fucking voice overs eh?

[musicman1401]

I love TMV, but Cedric sounds like a big baby, and it seems like everyone's drinks were heavily drugged. Maybe next time guys :)

[Mabanshi]

Honestly, what the fuck is that ?

[Jethu262]

Don't get me wrong, the Mars Volta are an outstanding group of musicians, and I love their music, but they were really not on their A-game this night...needed moar cowbell!

[TheKlov40]

Who ever thinks this is real is clearly an idiot!

[BlargGargle]

The vocalist looks like a poodle.

[StaggaLags]

I wonder what this guy's neighbors think when he records these shreds.

[AaronLogsdon9]

Omar (the guitarist) looks like Jean Ralphio from Parks and Recreation!

[rfreak16]

2:00 lololol

[dowdowcd]

It would have been great if the person who did this made them sound good. Like a smooth R&B song or something over the top.

[goodsirjava]

The sad thing is that the sound quality here is actually far superior to that of any real Mars Volta album.

[reservoirdog1]

@goodsirjava i lold

[ahighnoonduo]

@goodsirjava

album wise? are you joking

[mpimitch]

Could someone let me know the status of that microphone?

[Mr11MUSICMAN]

MexiProg

[Fireinthefudgehole]

I love shreds hahahahaha

[TheJcoco]

this was funny as shit but freal...mars volta is the most talented band out. period.

[Tengent]

This isn't too far off from the actual thing anyway. Sorry. I love prog, jazz, etc. but not The Mars Volta.

[frankdahmnerrrr]

Who the fuck upload this shit.

[hans678910]

UHAHUAHUAuh awsome

[mattwoutborders]

This is pretty funny...but if you think it's real, you are absolutely a window licking degenerate. Undeniably...

[Mekakakaka]

@mattwoutborders to be fair, it does sound almost exactly like a real Mars Volta song.

[Koaifications]

@Mekakakaka it really does.

[barcodefly]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! But they do really jam. They do. Not some guys in grandma's spare bedroom (when are you gonna get a job and stop play'in with your pickle you little bastard?!!!) Haaaaaaaaaaa!

[Marcelomayen]

I don't think this is a parody..I think this is actually them playing this.

[rossmat707]

This sounds remarkably similar to the real performance

[zeadsi]

O GOD!!!!!!!!!!!! this is hilarious! i love TMV but this is jus nuts lol

[andthemushrooms123]

Im scared!

[SolvingOurKreation]

Nooooo LOL xD

[resonance2012]

holy shit this is hilarious

[alopez56213]

Wtf for a second I thought that's how they were playing lol

[nembutals]

Mary had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb

[mecantbreakdance]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­ha



[LordOfThePracticePad]

The microphone still on! But nothing else is OOON! AAAAAAAHHHHHlaughingmyassoff!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fromawindowtoascreen]

The greatest SHREDS video of all time.A comedy gold mine and this is coming from a big MV fan. Any one else find the Casio whistle sounds as funny as I did?

[TheGreaterGood80]

Deloused was awesome, everything else was annoying and self indulgent

[Aberinkulas]

@TheGreaterGood80 wow you must be so cool

[TheGreaterGood80]

@Aberinkulas yeah I'm just so cool because I have a differing opinion on the Mars Volta that is contrary to yours, hence why you need to post the incredibly lame elementary school comeback "wow you must be so cool" LOL idiot

[Aberinkulas]

@TheGreaterGood80 shit you're so smart. I hope I get to be like you one day.

[Volentry]

ROFL

[toocheaptobuyatripod]

An experimental masterpiece!

[OfNmW1]

Hhahahahahahah well done! the trumpet kills me!

[LuxeXx]

@OfNmW1 The random horns are absolutely hilarious... 

[OfNmW1]

Hhahahahahahah well done!

[woobiehastelly]

UNDERSTAND

I DON'T UNDERSTAND

[Gyozsha]

This isn't really too far from the real thing, though...

[Soulvania]

Watch the real version of this performance, this isn't much worse than the real thing! And thats coming from a huge deloused, frances and mecca fan!

[breachmania]

They sound like this in real life anyway....

[DocJackson86]

This is hilarious! Totally threw me off for a minute there...

[rek7015]

Wow, are these shreds videos in place of a job? Seriously, someone could put these talents into use at any Waffle House.Or perhaps a Denny's if they really focus.

[PGROSYE02]

@rek7015 the volta sucks 99% of the time. Get over it.

[Liekkek]

@rek7015 lol god you're sooo fucking furious just because someone insulted some shitty emo band hahahahaha

[lrgdup]

Haha, this joke video just sums it up. Mars Volta sucks so much buttocks now.

[ShroomieB]

Lmfaoo XD .... tears were shed.

[HellhammerMario]

@2:00, jesus fucking christ. Hahahaha

[irascib1e]

the "microphone is on" part cracks me up so badly lmfao. doesn't get old.

[MrBulletscarz]

What the fuck? This is pure fuckin' noise, only retards can catch the rhythm to this trash, sounds like a prank!!!

[MyEverConstantSmile]

@MrBulletscarz You are an idiot. 

[alexsweeley]

@MrBulletscarz lol

[KronosTheDeejay]

I love TMV and this. And how can you not?!

[guitrain]

If I had a powerful enough laser, I would point it at every airplane that guitar player ever flies on. I will follow him everywhere. I will destroy his fake emotional guitar playing ways.

[SutcivnI]

dont get me wrong, i love the mars volta, but a friend played this for me and i didnt catch that it was a shred vid until like 22 secs in. I was just like wtf song is this? maybe theyre just jamming and off to a rocky start

[shuckslbj]

This is my favorite shreds video.

[tdjak]

...nothin else is OOAAAN....

[captainofiron]

Microphone is OOAAAN

[zafergash]

@captainofiron

:D:D:D

[advantagist]

They actually played in Moscow yesterday.

That was awful and I was pretty disappointed .

[The123CRAZYG]

[noscirenamra]

[assasinator1980]

ROFL who creates all theese shreds?

[slavaszyarabia]

wow! you arrrre good....i wonder if mr. bixler and the boyz seen this one.

[skinnydipper16]

you should have got an actual girl to sing

[mandimartinez18]

Too funny lol. 

[jimray20012]

Angles77100 your just a fucking idiot if thought this is what they actually sound like. Its clearly a voice over. Can't you tell by how nothing matches up. And you all seriously think they would put that on Letterman? Who ever voiced over this clearly does not know music and probably listens to LOL wayne . Yes LOL Wayne because he's a joke. And Justin fever fans . Go spoon your eyes out and stab a knife in your ears. Its people like you all who has ruined music for the people who actually care.

[jaggertone]

I love how people still think these things are real.

[TheHawkdaddy]

@jaggertone

you should see the kings of leon shreds, fans cant tell its fake

[Drwhispin]

But it IS real.

[angels77100]

JESUS H CHRIST! What was that? I thought when the drummer kicked off this was gonna be cool. It was just a bunch of fucking talentless idiots jumping around the stage playing fuck all and attempting to incorporate it as a jazz style. This was shit, and I hope Letterman actually listens to the bands he's going to bring on his show in future. I'm a big fan of Letterman's, but I missed this particular episode (thank fuck).

[BOFlova88]

@angels77100  if u watch and listen closely u will find that this is a voice over :D

[xwickyx]

This is how they actually sound like.

[Jag0n03]

THE MICROPHONE IS ON

EVERYTHING ELSE IS OFF

BUT THE MICROPHONE IS OOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[bedcrash]

this should be on itunes

[killelele]

microphone is on! microphone is on! nothing else is on!

[antipusrises]

Isn't this what their music sounds like for real?

[Zerpentile93]

Those shreds are epic.

[kludd28]

TMV is a cool band & this is very funny. Cheers!

[lynchianmaniac]

i like the part when the microphone is on

[paranoize27]

your gay for even doing this u friedless virgin!!!!!

[dyerseve07]

@paranoize27 friedless? How many more things should he fry?

[TheShotgunMessage876]

in the 27 years of my life, this is up there as one of the funniest things ive ever seen. I love TMV btw.

[Michaelmexp]

Sounds like the actual performance unfortunately.

[olivertraylen]

lmfaoo I love this band but that was just hilarious xD

[hoppinonabronzeleg]

Genius . . ., I support their right to do this. . . do you. Totally WAY Out - crazy and sane. Pure Genius

[mushafasa]

i like how they didn't even have to edit this

[lolomgz]

@2:00 LMAO

[RDog4484]

After hearing the actual version of this song, I actually prefer this one...

[VerifyThisAsshat]

The Mars Volta is a shite band. I can't tell if this is parody or not.

[DavidRayT]

The sad thing is... I didn't notice this wasn't them at first.

[hobbesdream]

i hope Cedric has seen this, he's got a youtube @ lunarpower666

[AbsoluteDemon]

That guitarist Charlie Browning around is fucking me up.

[CaptainWampum]

I don't hear the difference.

[elrubenchos]

JAJAJA que hijos de puta !!!

[lostinyour123]

people dogging the mars volta and saying that they are horrible, should die. You obviously don't understand true talent. Cedric has a redonkulous vocal range and when I saw him perform with omar rodriguez lopez they both did a flawless performance for two straight hours. unless you are a musician and make complete albums in as little as a few months then you should not voice your opinion because you will never understand the true feel of creating such amazing music.

[ximwise]

@lostinyour123 u mad?

[BeeTeeBeeAyEm]

Omg, "the microphone is on" part had me laughing so fucking hard.

[katietwotone]

Mary Had A Little Lamb!!!!

loloololol

[cipriani2k]

the point of a shreds video is to remake it, Im pretty sure this is actual footage...

[misermania]

LMAO



[MistaDollaD]

ahahahahaha this is awesome shit lol

[krienkeb]

Saw them live, and they are horrible. It sounded about as bad as this shred. They opened for the RHCP

[redrumx1x]

@krienkeb You DO know that John Frusciante played on multiple albums of The Mars Volta right? He also played on a few Omar Rodriguez Lopez albums. So I'm pretty sure The Mars Volta aren't horrible. Sorry they don't sound like OAR or Sublime which is probably all you listen to. They opened for RHCP which tells you something...

[krienkeb]

@redrumx1x That probably explains why it was John defending them during the concert after everyone booed the heck out them. He had to come on and yell at the crowd to like them. That is how bad it was. OAR or Sublime or any other band that is good or bad has nothing to do with how terrible this band is. I'll concede only that this drummer is good.

[ahighnoonduo]

@krienkeb

sublime good? just stop it, redrumx1x. you're wasting your time.

[krienkeb]

@ahighnoonduo Who said anything about liking sublime?

[ahighnoonduo]

@ahighnoonduo

OAR or Sublime or any other band that is good

[Mentoelify]

@krienkeb Its because there is not Jon Drummer anymore.

[krienkeb]

Saw them live, and they are horrible.

[TheGreaterGood80]

Cedric sounds like the cub from happy tree friends

[manuelsoma1989]

haha, yeah, XD it's just that i saw comments on other videos, and didn't realize that it was a joke :P, look the one from kings of leon

[manuelsoma1989]

They just had a bad night??? WTF? IT'S A JOKE. and yeah, it's a great band, but this is really funny, where is the sense of humor?

[MrOhjames]

@manuelsoma1989 I think His comment was a joke too. (:

[VashTSChacon]

This is exactly what I hear everytime somebody tries to put them on

[phanom321]

OK I CAN SEE DOING IT TO CREED OR KISS BUT THE MARS VOLTA ARE ACTUALLY TALENTED. THIS VIDEO IS WACK!

[doctorbuckner]

@phanom321 Suck it up buttercup,Get a sence of humor.

[dannerka]

LOL!! :D

[DJEricBliss]

2:00 F!^&ING LOST IT hahahaha

[professorpudding]

the funniest part is that allergonoise's videos are usually edited for comedic value while this is the actual performance.

[killsamdead]

this is the funniest thing i've ever seen it should have millions of views

[SickBritKid]

Is it me, or does this sound more like a Mars Volta song than other Mars Volta songs?

[Taraquin]

@SickBritKid

Indeed. Also, most things are more like they are now than they ever were before.

[SickBritKid]

Is it me, or does this sound more like a Mars Volta song than other Mars Volta songs?

[polyphonickeyboard]

i love shreds period

[Sivels]

whoever produces these videos needs an award of some kind.

[ajb16991]

i showed this to my brother and he made me turn it off, he couldnt handle it lol.

[bubbamittens]

I've seen this months ago, and it still gets stuck in my head and makes me laugh.

[ApplePirate49]

the voice reminds me of when dane cook is imitating the woman who orders in the burger king drive-thru

[suttermasta3000]

@ApplePirate49 i want the pickles, and the ketchup, and the pickles, and the pickles

[TEHSWOLEONE]

Ah man, I'm in tears over here. The microphone is on... bahahahahahah

[Jkru352]

I am laughing so hard right now at the second half of this.. my abs hurt

[iamsniffer]

sounds like beefheart

[pktchort]

The microphone is on

[cowmanman]

i just realised half way through it was one of those shreds

[WesleynGalles]

I lol'd so hard

[PsychoNinjaFreak]

Do I hear Teletubby influences?

[ReesTX]

...yall know this is fake, right?

[AEnima461]

2:00 made me lol so hard

[dog69420]

this is what the mars volta sounds like live anyway

[k0stil]

THE MICROPHONE IS ON!!! AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS NOT ON!!!

[ThePurgatoryfire]

can't breathe... can't breathe...

[mechagb]

Funniest thing I've ever seen on youtube.

[Mavarik]

it sounds the same if im honest

[The8starr]

I am a huge fan but this is HILARIOUS lmao

[17Revolution76]

Haha I don't think the Mars Volta can sound this bad on their WORST night of excessive drug use and banging random groupies.

[GrimsonGhost]

@17Revolution76 when i saw them they just made noises with their pedals and effects and didnt play any actual songs, im not necessarily a fan but my friend who is was pissed that night

[3yedea]

what the hell...?

[marc2008ln]

haha i dont undastand..i don' undastand!

[sbgrant]

Haha... 0.45 aaaaa don't know the wuuurds

[enanolineage]

[Zeanu]

Hahahaha... XD Must've been Letterman's Speshul Night.

[sustajim]
