the fact that your first look was a live version, you must be a masochist haha. Edit: this is one of my favourite bands, but if this was my introduction I don't know if I would have become this big a fan. The album version, with good headphones, plenty of listens - that's how they get you.
I saw them in Melbourne and there were no breaks between the songs so the whole concert was like a one hour and 45 minute song. The drummer (same one as in this clip) was like an Olympic athlete.
Kinda impressed they were able to recreate this song live… Mars Volta is a better band to listen to with headphone on high quality stereo system with your abuelita performing some Santeria in the house, while your on Acid.
First time I listened to TMV my brain melted and fell through my ears. I eventually picked it up and put it back and never looked back. One of the best groups of our generation, if not the best
Deloused in the Comatorium is the album this song is from. Although it's less chaotic than the live version, I still love both! TMV really brings out every single drop of energy they got on their performances
The best part of this video is watching your absolute bewilderment. It's funny, because this live performance is probably 1000x more difficult to follow than the studio version. On the record, the song is in A minor, and it's probably only 3-4 actual chords for the most part. Much easier to follow too, but TPridge had a style they enjoyed during this era because it made their music so much more chaotic and overwhelming. The Jon Theodore era had a lot more straightforward bombastic groove, and this song is from their first album which he played on. Their first 4 albums are incredible works of art, but it's just cruel to send a Tpridge live performance of this and watch you try to make sense of it (in the funniest way possible)
I couldn’t believe it when I saw the song you were doing. You HAVE to give that whole album, Deloused in the Comatorium, a listen. Its one of my favorite, most unique, albums of all time.

apparently Omar was one time asked why he never smiled on stage, and he said "bc I am concentrating man, this shit is hard to play"

Mars Volta are god-tier weirdos. Love their energy and craftsmanship.
A live performance where they're even more manic than their recordings is a hard mode introduction to the mars volta.
The drummer, Thomas Pridgen, is an absolute beast on this performance
One does not simply learn a Mars Volta song…
He's probably traumatized after this live version, but I think he should listen to the studio version. Way less chaos, and actually very catchy.
Here to agree with everyone else: listen to the album! De-loused is incredible, an absolute masterpiece.

I think the most underrated part of this was the bass. Lot of talent there

In 2004, I bought this album at FYE on CD based just on the album cover art. I legit had never heard of this band.

Also their bassist is Juan Alderete who was in Racer X with Paul Gilbert. Dude is a savage on bass. All fingers.

The Frances the Mute album is a masterpiece and I’m so happy to see you subject yourself to this with an open mind.
