Mars Volta L'Via L'Viaquez Reaction
This is the single version. The album version is three times as long and waaaaay better. Also Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus is a must from TMV! Their Frances the Mute album is a masterpiece, Deloused as well. Amazing band.
First three albums are god-tier prog.
You prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know a tool to log back into an instagram account..?
I was dumb lost my password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me.
@Stephen Yosef instablaster ;)
@Dariel Elisha Thanks for your reply. I got to the site on google and im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes quite some time so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Dariel Elisha It worked and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thanks so much, you really help me out :D
Kinda clever how the latin-inspired sections have the English lyrics and the straight ahead rock bits are in Spanish. I'll add my voice to those saying Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus next
The guy on keys is none other than Larry Harlow, he played in a few NY jazz bands
That was a very short version of the song. If you enjoyed that, you'll enjoy the original even more!
The original ending is legendary
That dissonant solo
Yeah man, super disappointed that he reacted to this version of the song, as it's maybe my favourite TMV track, and from my absolute favourite TMV album, and I was looking forward to this ever since he reacted to them the first time. Still a great reaction and a fun video, but my heart ached a bit when it became clear that we were going to miss so much.
@@StefanWB agreed
The original is over 12 minutes.
‘Eriatarka’ is not only one of The Mars Volta’s best songs, it’s one of the coolest songs ever, period.
AGREED
this song is absolutely special
i think you guys also love concertina,
I SECOND THIS
All these years later and I still get chills from Eriatarka.
John Frusciante from RHCP played the first two solos on this song, he’s also scattered throughout their entire discography. Flea also played trumpet on The Widow and Miranda That Ghost ... on this record as well as bass on their first record
Really? 👀 Wow i didn't knew that
"From RHCP" heh
They supported the chilli peppers on the by the way tour, seen em in glasgow then again the following summer on their own tour. Class.
He actually played the whole Amputechture album. Omar wrote it all but wanted to sit back and direct the recording from a different perspective.
I had forgotten about that! Thanks for the reminder.
Juan Aldrete is a monster bassist. As the drumming in later tunes gets crazier and more flamboyant he is often the only one really holding the ship together.
Dude had to be a bassist in Racer X hahaha... Its wild how some of the shred guys end up being REALLY good when they play out of the shred archetype... ie: Alderete, Shawn Lane, Buckethead
Thanks for doing more Mars Volta! I'm glad you noticed the drums specifically, Jon Theodore is an amazing drummer has done some really interesting stuff with this band. I think this is actually a single version, cut down quite a bit from the original album track, so definitely go check out the full thing if you have the time! I will second someone else and recommend "Cygnus...Vismund Cygnus" next. Or, if you have some time to spare, "Cassandra Gemini" (32 minutes long!). That being said, it's really hard to go wrong with any Mars Volta song!
Cassandra Gemini would be an hour and a half long! Not that I'd complain haha
@@seansmit Me neither!
Anything from this album would be awesome.
Cheers from France! 🍻
I would love to see a reaction for Cassandra Gemini, but as other have said, it would be an hour reaction video :/ either way I hope he gets to listen to it
Congrats on 100k! You deserve it way more than most reaction channels.
Thank you so much 😀
I’m so happy you did this song, the Mars Volta is my favorite band I’m 15 and you inspire me so much thanks for all the hard work much love from Texas!!
I’m 44 and they’re my favorite band! 👍🏼
im 16 and they're my favorite!
I’m 31 and They’re my favorite band especially thier earlier years! I miss that style of music ORL was creating. I’m not a fan of some of his more recent punky pop-rock. :/
Hopefully one day they’ll get back together. RIP Mikey Owens, he was an amazing keyboard player!
@@Davidmars89 I'm 29 and I've been listening since The Bedlam In Goliath and this band really is something special. I keep coming back to it again and again and their albums really sends me to some place that no other band does. Probably my favourite band ever. And they are working on new stuff with Clouds Hill! If we're lucky they'll release something this year!
Listen to Disfrutalo! Also from Texas.
Listen to 'take the veil cerpin taxt' or 'Cygnus vismund cignus' for the next the Mars volta song. Good stuff
These are both great choices.
yes. if take the veil, do the live one at the electric ballroom
Yes please
Yes to both. Top 5 in their catalog
excellent choices ☝
Puerto Rico en la casa! Esto es psychedelic salsa pai
Luv your reactions, they're chill and genuine. Plz do Cygnus Vismund Cygnus next
One of my favorite drummers (Dave Elitch) was called to try out for this gig when he was 26, and he has a story about this song that I love. TMV is notorious for their wild intense drum parts, but Dave got the gig based on his playing in this song. Everybody who got called was able to shred and go nuts on the kit, but Dave locked in on the groove in this song better than anybody else, and that’s when the band knew he was the guy. It’s all about that undeniable feel, not flash and blazing speed.
3 weeks later he was playing in front of 20000 people in stadiums across the world. There is a drum cam video of him in Sydney playing with ‘em. He’s a beast.
I like you picked up the "intense Indie punk rock" Omar and Cedric were in one of the most influential post hardcore band before forming Mars Volta，called： at the drive in
Yeah very influential, but well after Fugazi.
@@halfalligator6518 atdi was definitely a generation apart from fugazi, no one said they came before
@@ButtplugMcGee yeah true. i'm being a bit of a "know-all" dick there. I just love Fugazi.
Now I wanna see him react to one-armed scissor
He definetly has to react to at the drive in... theres so much paralelisms between tmv and atdi
Hey! We're back with more Mars Volta on the channel! I'm appreciative of the reminiscence of your work. You see, I love this band, my second favourite after TOOL. However, I never know how to recommend a song from Mars Volta to someone new, without recommending the whole album.
This would be my EXACT post, bro!
@@ryanmustain6545 It's always an unlikely task to me. There are some songs like "The Widow" and "Televators" but even those are transition numbers of a wholly "book".
Tool have gone poo.
@@Dexiray I always thought that This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed threw off the flow of Deloused. Televators works great into Cerpin Taxt, imo. The Widow is ok, but it's more prominent as a piece of the puzzle to the meaning of the album. Did you see that TMV is releasing a mega pack of all albums plus bonuses on vinyl?
We are one in the same. Frances was my first album so I'll always recommend it first.
THE MARS VOLTA - “Cassandra Gemini”
Definitely a pretty big piece at 32 minutes, and split into 8 movements, but my god the track is so musically dense and adrenaline-packed that it would be a complete waste not to do it in these 30 days.
Man that would be epic and a perfect way to celebrate his one year anniversary!
This was actually an edited version that you reacted to. Glad you're getting back into these guys. They are in a league of their own.
I gotta disagree. They're in a league that was basically the MO of the decade of the 70's.. It's all pretty derivative once you've gone through the Zappa, Crimson, Zepp, Floyd ect and take notes
@@colinburroughs9871 but they mastered it
@@dclarkmusic Juan and John could make almost anything awesome as a rhythm section- they carry so much of why this music works imo, btw.. derivative might not be the word for it
@Colin Burroughs gotta disagree, you sound like one of those ppl who hit a limit of how much they can acknowledge as genuinely good then refuse to get into anything else out of sheer ego and posessiveness. To say they arent worthy of admiration because you think theyre like zappa is laughable. Nobody thinks youre cool bc ypu like zappa get over yourself
@@Tandycakes159 I would compare them to the first few Yes albums, and Mahavishnu Orchestra. In the most complimentary ways
Your faces and hand movements when he hits those highs are priceless. It's so affecting, his range is otherworldly.
This is one of my favorite songs by TMV. I love that the rock driven sections are sung in Spanish and the Afro-Cuban sections are sung in English. Never heard anything like it. Even now.
Man, I've listened to this song since the album leaked before its official release in 2005. And I never made the connection. Spanish over the rock music and English over the salsa music. Really cool. Just saw them live the other time. Like the 14th time since 2003 lol. They killed it.
I honestly don't know why anyone would not subscribe to this channel. Keep up the good work.
Mars Volta melts my face and brain.
Congrats on 100k my friend, well deserved and this is only the beginning. KUDOS!
I just came to check how many Volta fans were commenting on the single cut. Very proud.
Suggestion: At The Drive-in - Quarantined.
YES. Thanks for coming back to them!! Please do Roulette Dares! Reeeally interesting song! Love the content!
Definitely. My favorite song of theirs. Deloused in the cometorium is just a solid album.
CONGRATS on 100k man you deserve it! More The Mars Volta!!!!!
Thanks a ton!
Love how all these react channels make me rediscover music I kinda forgot about.
one of my favorite songs! I'm from Puerto Rico and I jam this song alot and I start to jam with my claves when the salsa jam comes in.
will ALWAYS like and comment for The Mars Volta!!! Keep going.
Omg I’m so glad you’re doing Mars Volta now! One of my favorite bands. I discovered your channel because of your reactions to tool and I was hoping you’d pick up on Mars Volta soon.
The Mars Volta this is what I’ve been waiting for !
It happened because you clearly are passionate with what you are doing! You deserve it.
CONGRATS ON 100 THOUSAND!!!
The bridge is salsa. The keyboardist is a famous Puerto Rican pianist, Larry Harlow. Omar Rodríguez-López (the writer / guitarrist for Mars Volta) is Puerto Rican.
This might be my favorite TMV track. Do yourself a favor and just give this whole album a spin on your own time. One of the best modern prog records period.
Definitely, over the years going back to all the albums this track never gets old. It's easily in my top 3 favorites but it's so hard to choose a best Mars volta song.
You got it. The break down is exactly what you said “Son Montuno” Cuban/Puerto Rican influence which Omar is from Puerto Rico. The piano on the break is recorded by “ Larry Harlow” one of the best SALASA players from the 70’s with “Fania All Stars” and his own group “ Orquesta Larry Harlow”
Congratulations Geebz! keep doing what you're doing
it's probably been 5 years since i heard TMV. . . dear god this confirms i need to get back into it
Oh man, they cut out the best part, probably of the whole record!!
you guys know what i'm talking about, the passage that begins with "Solo tengo Una hora..."
Hell yeah man, every time I check TH-cam I watch another video of you reacting to a song that I love.
Joining those voices calling for a Cygnus... Vismund Cygnus review! Mahalo!
Anyone else jealous someone is getting to hear Mars Volta for the first time? Great vid brother. Sub and a like 👍
They’re the last band that has given that feeling of absolutel euphoria and obsession. As an adult those feelings happen a lot less frequently than when I was a kid, but I had that feeling for a lot of this bands material, and I haven’t felt that in a few years now :(
Congrats on the 100k! Still here!
Geebz. My brother. This is the second TMV song you’ve done that’s a radio edit! We gotta get you to decompose a full track!
Seconded.
Legendary salsa musician Larry Harlow on piano. Please check out more The Mars Volta! I recommend Tetragrammaton.
By far their best song!
Whaaaaaaaa... I didn’t know!!
I think hes only done it with them live?
@@teamfortressfan12 he plays on the album. Piano on L'Via & clavinet on Cassandra Gemini.
Amazing! "Take the Veil Cerpin Taxt" is one of my faves but there are plenty of great ones to choose from. All the best from sunny Ireland!
You gotta get back to songs from Deloused. Drunkship of Lanterns!
This . Such an epic song thematically , that album front to back is 🔥
It is their best album. They were never quite the same after Ward died.
@@MrLextune I felt the same way when JT left, but they still put out some great material.
Drunkship of Lanterns is my favorite!
love seeing you back here making videos
Hats off to whoever suggested this.
Your videos are sooo good it has 4 dislikes and 1K likes. That proportion doesn't happen anywhere! AWESOME CHANNEL!
the fact that he doesn't pronounce L'Via correctly in the beginning is a dead giveaway that this is a true cold-listen and I love that.
Much deserved props and love the channel. Keep it up!!!!
I'm just watching your videos and I'm so happy about the openness you have to give your opinion in such a neutral but decisive way and to find people who are willing to listen That they wouldn't listen on a regular basis besides the knowledge you have. One thing I would like to add to this song is that he speaks Spanish or they wrote the song out of their own ignorance of not speaking the language like natives. As a Mexican, I understand the feeling you have while the song was written, but the way they wrote the lyrics doesn't have syntax, but there is a lot of feeling, loss and revenge. Apparently a daughter lost in the arms of another family
Yes, The Mars Volta !!!!!!!!!!
The drummer says to me I need you I want you I love you. True musician can appreciate this band even if you don't like this music you have to respect the band the music the movement 💪👊 one of best bands all time. Cicatriz is on point please please please listen to full version. You will be in love forever. And don't balk at me fans but I still love the widow. There is just so many
Mad love for you! Your tool reactions killed it!
ahhhh i wish you would’ve listened to the full 11 min version, sick piano solo at the end of it
your face at the end is me with mars volta every song. love the first time listen innocence and appreciation. take the veil cerpin taxt, frances the mute (the song), viscera eyes. do one of those songs next please.
YEEEESSSSSS. Dude thanks for doing great music. No other reactors do the awesome music you do. Mostly overplayed radio garbage. Thanks for having good taste man
YES! I was waiting for this one
this version is really just a highlight reel of the song
You have to listen to the full versions of the songs, it really makes a great difference. but you did a great job, like always!!!!
EACH Album by TMV, I believe, IS the whole song.
God Bless you ALL!
The shortened radio edit is a crime against humanity.
Probably my all time favorite band. thanks for taking the time to react. I recommend Cygnus Vismund Cygnus from them next. I think you will really appreciate the composition!
I heard someone mention it before, and I'm commenting this before I watch the video so you might mention it too, but I think it's very neat from a songwriting perspective that the Latin instrumentals feature English lyrics, while the bits that sound more like a traditional American hard rock song feature Spanish lyrics. Nice symmetry.
Hell yea Mars Volta
a song by them that I just absolutely love that I don't think gets mentioned much is With Twilight As My Guide
The piano was Larry Harlow of Fania All-Stars. Legend. You were spot on with your Puerto Rico guess. Omar Rodriguez-Lopez the guitarist and his brother, the percussionist are of Puerto Rican descent.
100k!!!
Here since Sober! Yaaaayaaaaa
Now lucid planet -> Anamnesis !
STRAPPING YOUNG LAD!!!
Seeing them in concert was actually pretty amazing, they rocked the Electric Factory in Philly!
Hell yeah. You pick the BEST SONGS of all the reaction channels. Just don't be afraid to add whatever you want. Commenting on the technical aspects won't hurt as long as you add the more basic commentary alongside it. That's how the new fans will grow to understand at a deeper level.
and stoked for you hitting 100k!
Cygnus, Meccamputecture, Viscera Eyes, Wax Simulacra, Vedamalady
Vicarious ATonement! Best Volta track!
I just can't believe anyone close to music never listened to The Mars Volta. And if you do (any song) I just don't want to believe you can ignore them.
congrats for 100k!
Congratulations on 100k! You deserve it, friend. I always get a smile out of hearing your greetings in a video. Love the insights, love the song choices... whats not to enjoy? 😁
But in all seriousness, well done! Im glad that you could find a bit of success in something you enjoy doing.
Here's to another 100k and another 100 coffees! 🍻
Ps i dont know if anyone has requested "Closure in Moscow" as a band to check out, specifically the album "First Temple", but if not then I'd like to throw it out there - Just a bit of home grown Aussie talent that I think (hope) you might like :D
It is crystal clear that you love what you do and you do it with excellence, you made me realize things of music that I loved for years that never had noticed before.
100K, finally!!!!
I was sure of this at 20K.
See you at 200
Congratulations on the 100k+ subscribers! Not surprised, this channel kicks ass. I learn so much. I play guitar and know basic theory, so I love the musical sidenotes and production insight.
This album (Frances the Mute) is a masterpiece. If you get a chance to sit down and take in the whole thing at once, it's definitely worth doing. It's a concept album with a (cryptic) story, so there are interwoven motifs to pick up on.
Congrats on 100k and thank you so much for the videos.
Your analysis is amazing as always!
I still can never understand to this day who the hell thought it was acceptable to shorten a John Frusciante solo
Please do Day of the Baphomets! Thank you so much for returning to The Mars Volta, my favorite band ever!!!
This song playlist 100%
This was a video where I liked it early on, watched the rest, and went to like it again 👍
One of my fav TMV songs and was glad to see it getting some love. Missed out on some of the instrumentation with the single(short) version. Great react as always!
Man the deeper I dive into The Mars Volta, and it’s been a 10 year journey, the more I basically discover how incredible this band is!
hell yeah! more volta please!
hahah your page is the best man! thanks
Hey congratulations for 100k!! I love your videos and how you explain your vision of the songs! Cheers from Italy.
Definitely come back to the Mars Volta! Try the song Cassandra Gemini.
Congrats man been side kicking the journey. Huge Tool fan , APC and Pusifer plus Alice and Led so all that you do is appreciate . Karnivool is awesone continue that path. When you getting to Rishloo. Think you will find it amazing . Breakdown some Fleetwood Mac sometime, your choice . Revisit the Okeefe school with the kids . Amazing Amazing Amazing. Check out more Tool covers or them doing Black Label Society or Dream Theater. Listening to Mars with you. Not my usually ... Big ol coffee coming brother. Keep it up, your teaching me the ONE! Still with me ? Lol. Out. Resonate a Greater Existence _ Spiral Out
hell yeah rishloo! Landmines or Downhill are my personal suggestions for them
Roulette Dares - Deloused in the Comatorium. Flea from RHCP played most of the session base on this album
Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore - Frances the Mute. The legendary Wayne Bergeron played session trumpet in this piece
Tetragrammaton - Amputechture. Exceptional
That type of Cuban music during the interlude is called Guajira :)
You just keep killing it with the great song choices!
Frusciante is insane. That second solo is so seamless
PLEASE do tetragrammaton. Its the most amazing song ive personally heard. TMV is so good
its 16 minutes but worth it
