I'm a Mars Volta fan! :thumbsup: Although i can't always understand what they're singing (spanish) it always sounds awesome. :cool: I'm surprised more people on here haven't chimed in! Maybe they've just never heard of em... either way its some kick ass stoner music in my opinion!

A Great Song For Those Who've Never Heard :hippy:

[keeko]

im a fan, and i like the spanish songs even though i have no idea what they are saying.

[pinkyslayer]

fuck the lyrics, dude, zavla or whatever his last name is lyrics are pretty much stream of thought gibberish. the crazy loops and guitar-scapes and the awesome vocals is what makes the volta kick ass.

[stubbz]

i like the song l'via l'viaquez or whatever it's called ... and televators ... and all the other ones too

[eggrole1]

volta is soooo good. when people say "classic rock of the future" i must agree.

they are playing tonight near me, but I am not going to make it. :(

Meccamputechture and L'Via L'Viaquez are my 2 favs, but really all of their stuff is amazing. One of few bands I can just load up and not skip any tracks in the whole disco.

[TOOL9]

The Mars Volta kick ass. I think Deloused in the Comatorium is the best cd I've ever bought. I was supposed to see them in Atlanta but it got fucking cancelled:mad:

[katyowns]

MV is an amazing band, but I really wish At The Drive-In would get back together. I know it's not going to happen, but ATDI's music blows MV out of the water.

I have De-Loused in the Comatorium and it's pretty good. I'm not a huge fan, but I like to listen to it every once in a while.

I've been told their other albums aren't very good, though.

[TOOL9]

Their newest cd is pretty decent. Not as good as De-Loused but its still pretty damn good. I've heard good things about their second cd Frances the Mute and I've heard their 3rd cd Amputechture is a piece of shit.

[fenderninja]

Wow i thought frances the mute was awesome. Seriously Cassandra Gemini is amazing, 30 some odd minutes of beauty. Know every word of it :] I havent grabbed the newest but De-Loused was wonderful, and i thought Amputechture was worth buying...

So im definately going to grab their newest!

i agree frances the mute was awsome and the 30 minute song kicked ass.

i think the new cd is 2nd best to deloused........i have no idea where they find these bad ass drummers

I agree completely. Thomas Pridgen is a BAMF.

[keeko]

I agree completely. Thomas Pridgen is a BAMF.

have you seen the video of him and tony royster jr. jammin together? its awsome

[eggrole1]

I guess I am the odd man out on this one. I think A Missing Chromosome is the best album then Amputechture and then De-Loused. I love how A Missing Chromosome loops if it is on repeat. Can just blaze up and let that run all night!

I have not listened to Scab Dates or Bedlam enough to comment on them, but they aren't bad.

[Metaphor]

At the Drive In was so much more than the Mars Volta will ever be.

[katyowns]

finally someone agrees

[Euphoric7]

L'via. is a really great song for burning :D

[Rockerdoll]

I think they are great! I've seen them 7 times, and it still doesn't seem like enough. They have an awesome live show. They don't have an opening band, and they usually play for over 2 hours.

[thedutchess]

i adore the mars volta. i really wanted to see them in SC @ the house of blues...closest place i could hear them bc im in va...but couldnt go bc i had no one to road trip with :(
however, they'll be at the music festival in austin, tx in september and i WILL be going to see them then.
oh, and deloused is the best. im about to pack a bowl and listen to my fave, inertiatic esp. :jointsmile:

[TallCoolOne]

Does anyone here have their tix for the show in September? If so and you live in the A or around the A and are gonna come to the show, you can def come chill at me and my gf's place in the HEART of Midtown just a a minute or two from the Tabernacle.

Yeah, Ive got tickets to see them on September 20th in Philly. I only got to see them with Theodore once and wish to god he would come back. And to what TOOL9 said, Amputechture is in no way short of being called a great album. If you cant listen to the long songs and Cedric's extremely wide vocal range than I dont know why you would listen to any of their other music.

[TallCoolOne]

Amputechture IS their best album, if not Amputechture, then De-Loused. I need me some 15 minute songs consisting mostly of guitar/drum solos. and c'mon....fruscante and rodriguez-lopez? i like bedlam, but its sorely missing that touch.
