Mars Volta/Red Hot Chili Peppers

[Nochowderforyou]

I saw Rancid a few years back at Warped Tour. They put on a good show. Nothing big or fancy, but the kind of show where you'd do more moshing than watching the band perform.

I saw Slayer on July.11th with COB, and I go see Tool in a few days. Now that, is going to be sweeeeeet!

Nochowderforyou Reviewed by Nochowderforyou on 08-16-2006. Mars Volta/Red Hot Chili Peppers August 11, Portland, OR. Holy shit, the fucking Chili Peppers were great. Sadly, The Mars Volta (a band I really dig) blew their whole fucking set. There was no distinction between the instruments and it became an hour long mission to see who could come up with the most crazy sounding shit which made it all sound awful. Everyone in the Rose Garden was so down on Mars Volta, people in the front rows sat down. After a 30 minutes intermission, The Chili Peppers opened with Can't Stop. Everyone Rating: 5

Man I didn't know The Mars Volta was releasing a new album so soon. D/Ling it right now. I hope this is better than Francis The Mute. I have a feeling this will be a hard sell.

I saw Mars Volta at a smaller venue. They are so much better in that environment than stadiums.

I mean part of the reason Mars Volta blew was the acoustics, but they were just off that night. I guess some of it was also because of the situation with their drummer, but even Omar (one of my fav. guitarists) was off. None of this mattered after RHCP came on, because they rocked so hard.

God this new Mars Volta album is weird. A little different than their other stuff, but it's not innovative, just sounds all over the place.

I'm having a hard time digging it. It's a decent album, but not on par with De-Loused
