The sound guy is a nightmare and he comes to children and drives them like worms into the world and they become his nightriders and they come to him and make sounds...so he has nightmares alright...but they come true and people come to worship falsely because he is no god...dont be mistaken...this is some psychic sickness in the searching for lies and truth where none can be found but sound is that life and the metal will not die and the wood is sacrificed and held up to the light that rides the sword that man makes sing.
Look up Thomas Pridgens Zildjian Live set. Basically a showcase where a band writes out a basic piece that lets the drummer highlight their best stuff to their hearts content. No lyrics or unnecessities.
Never heard a band play like this band before All the days of my life ever since i've been born Never heard a band play like this band before And they split up
I apologise to the rest of the world watching this.. for the indie hipster London audience..they probably all vote tory now.... They should of been going absolutely batshit fuckin mental! Not stood there nodding their heads like a load of twats. Phenomenal performance from the Mars Volta..
Haha. Yeah, it's actually 4 separate 3 minute songs haha. I remember when I found out Cassandra Gemini was one song, and being the naive teenager I was thought that was uncool and unwise.... almost 10 years later and I lost count of how many times I've listened to it.
This concert was exceptional for him. On the performance of "Tetragrammaton" he's hitting full F5s and trying for full F#5s (failing, but coming close).
+SeanithanEgan However it was there purpose to make it a very very chaotic sounding track and bigger parts of the album, it wa ssupposed to be energetic exploding shit of chaotic music everywhere, people keep having arguments about it but this is there wierd music shit :P they were also on alot of drugs at the time as you can hear xD
@@sportsterfanatic6593 I'm coming at you guys from the future...but in a Drumeo video Thomas explains that Omar demanded he do some weird stuff, like play beats where you accent everything with the left hand - no ghost notes. My feeling is Pridgen gave them what they asked for, I don't think he had licence to do whatever he wants.
Seeing this band live is an out of body experience 100%. They are the cream of the crop. They opened up for the Chili Peppers and made them look like a garage band years ago. I can't express how musically genius and advanced they are. Hendrix would be so proud.
Man. Ikey, Omar, Juan, Thomas (although I prefer Jon). Do you have any idea of how fucking insane these dudes are? This is like musical ayahuasca, we just gotta be thankful such an encounter took place and we could witness it.
I have to take year long breaks from this band or else I kind of start to go insane listening to it day and night and talking to everyone about obsessed I am! Favorite band and favorite vocalist of all time, Tool being tied depending on which band I'm more into atm.
I was drawing on an app on my laptop while watching this. Every app but the TH-cam that I had this music on crashed. Apparently my laptop can't handle the awesomeness of the Mars Volta.
Got to meet Thomas Pridgen a few years ago at NAMM. Such a cool and chill dude. And I'm gonna see The Mars Volta AND Thundercat open for the Chili Peppers in May. SO stoked
Don't you just love it when you are balls deep in the middle of a music track and just because you went from FullScreen to Small Screen Fucking TH-cam has to throw in a goddamn commercial for you before you can back to the best fucking part of the song. Thanks Martin Shrek-li
I knew it! I knew I had heard that goddamn riff somewhere! God damnit. 'never heard a man speak like this man before' as they blast out a modified version of a deep vintage metal cut is still art. But the mystery is FINALLY solved. Thank you. I thought this band had magical powers. I'm glad they dont.
I feel as though every member of this band kept challenging each other to perform their best in this performance after every solo. It's like taking turns in a gangbang on the audience's ears.
The sound guy still have nightmares about this volta's line up

Neat wardrobe tho.
I can hear that immediately and im not a pro. I play drums as a hobby but this sounds off.
Waking up like James Brown!
😂
Never heard a man drum like this man before
Thomas Pridgen is the man
Search: Gospel drumming.
There’s hundreds if not thousands of drummers like him.
incorrect. Thomas has earned the Highest esteem, in percussive talents...prove otherwise. @@patton303
🤣genius👑

Tool
At first I thought it was Longinue w parsons III lol
Thomas Pridgens practically steals their set with his intense and perfect percussion!
@@jsp30ishpersonal taste/style aside Danny is not better than Pridgen lol not by a mile
The bass player is the true hero of this band.
God bless Juan.
why??
Having to keep everything together with this bands chaotic style is a monumental task.
The real MVP
I tried to like this comment more than once but it won't let me.
Never heard a band play like this band before
All the days of my life ever since i've been born

And they split up
Ged Sparrow they're back together!

@@Arjay82 And Cedric as well
i see what you did there
I like that so many top comments point out the skill of every other band member. No weak links in this band.
IKEY!! RIP. man every member of this line up is superb and I cannot get enough of it!!
this is just one of the best performances ive ever seen no kidding.
This band really did change my life
Me too
It´s our Led Zepellin, Pink Floyd, Greatful Dead, etc...
2019 still listening Thomas Pridgen.... Insane!!
This song and a lot of others are always really good, this band will probably never die.
"Goliath" is the perfect name for this song. It just feels HUGE.
people at the time were probably like "damn that third song was sick!"
Haha. Yeah, it's actually 4 separate 3 minute songs haha. I remember when I found out Cassandra Gemini was one song, and being the naive teenager I was thought that was uncool and unwise.... almost 10 years later and I lost count of how many times I've listened to it.
killerbekilled93 goliath aint 4 separate songs....what you talkin bout foo?
lol
Reggie Hammond
Sorry for the late reply. It was a joke, hence the laughing. I do my homework on these guys, don't worry
Improv jamming
I still can't believe what Thomas Pridgen is capable of... This is completely imposible!
maybe the highest-energy drummer alive lol
This concert was exceptional for him. On the performance of "Tetragrammaton" he's hitting full F5s and trying for full F#5s (failing, but coming close).
yeah man the GOAT!~
This tempo makes the outro part insanely fast, and they still manage to keep it so heavy, just awesome
It's 2021, and we need this band bad!
With the new box set that came out I really wish they reunite for 20th anniversary tour of Deloused
it’s 2022 now and look what we have now
@@lemonadesaudios yup
@@CougarMagnum29 seen them live, life changing.
That "Yahoo" audience definitely WASN'T READY for this! :P :D
Let's not blame then, who could be?
Right? Haha
Me, a King Crimson fan: nice pop song, this would be a gret stand name when It appears in JoJo.
@@Camila21ization De verdad no
@@Camila21ization y eso
this era of Volta may be the best pound for pound
I love how Omar is always doing leads and solo's now.
Pridgen on another level here.
+Ben Love I know hard to believe he's holding back for the band's sake...
+Ben Love Dude can't turn it down though. Even during the slow parts. That's why I always preferred Theodore.

No shit! Sometimes It's chaotic, overkill, and the bottom falls out. On the other hand, he's got some fucking chops.

the dude on the keys is freaking amazing!
MartyChills R.I.P ikey owens
but there are two guys on keys, right?
@@indigenismo nope one guy on a keyboard the other guy is on a moog/sound mixer
@@baphometic8767 Thanks sir
Ikey always missed. What he does in the song "Inertiatic ESP"always makes me feel sad about him 😢😢😢😢 just beautiful.
Cedric skimps some parts so he can nail the ones he finds necessary. People give him flak for it but he knows what he's doing.
and I find it genius.
For real.. He hits some of the most RIDICULOUS notes I've ever heard in the studio
That was full voice my man. This guy can sing like nobody's business.
Cedric, Omar and Thomas! Bloody BRILLIANT! Peace to the rest of the band, also. You guys are LEGEND!
Juan is GOD on bass, such an amazing performance from this heavyweight champ band.
Never fail to amaze me everytime i hear and see them. Totally out of reality 🤟🏻
Wonder who's idea it was to use a 421 on Cedrix's vocals. Fucking brilliant.
the last few minutes of this video can cure cancer
Luvih! :)
Holy shit. I wish I could have seen this live this slaps.
Awwwwww. Do you remember Cedric with that lovely mane of hair? Woooowww. He was so cool (:
Thomas Pridgen is the best drummer The Mars Volta ever had. Love all of them but Thomas is something else!
John Theodore and Thomas pridgen are my inspiration
My brother and I went a show on this tour. To "steal the show" is such an overused gimmick, but in this case...holy shit it was absolutely tru
both are my idol @@Dante_yo_son_of_sparda_yo77
its hard to capture a band like this one video but they did and it was in their prime. such a good set
Pfffff nothings gets any better dan this ❤️
We need them in 2017.
Just me, or does Cedric look like Rene Descartes here??
hahaha true!
shhhhhhhhhhhh
Lmfao
...or.., therefore he is...yung kfs
lol

Great song, now I like them even more 🌞👽
it's like every member is being fried on a skillet
Fucking right
The Mars Volta reminds us that music and playing it to the hilt is okay and even really awesome. Love this group.
Alright fellas should we do a bass solo, guitar solo, keys solo, or drum solo now?
The fellas: yes.
lmao i just realized you're right. they really are all soloing at the same time at 1:20
When they slip into that final groove at 10:55 and they all sync up, thats soo powerful
drummer is absolutely awesome!
RIP Ikey :(
This show was my introduction to Mars Volta but even more specifically Thomas Pridgen.
12:11-12:17!!!!!
HARDEST SHIT EVER
THIS SHIT IS SO REEFED, I CANT STOP YELLIN!!!
CEDRIC EVOKING JANIS ON STAGE! this man is my favorite vocalist of all time forever!!!
The Mars Volta should have stayed together and recorded a Soul-Jazz album, I feel like I am hearing some "Here, My Dear" influences mid-performance.
This is a masterpiece, this whole set.
It's like they were trying to play that song as fast as possible without falling completely apart
Man. Ikey, Omar, Juan, Thomas (although I prefer Jon). Do you have any idea of how fucking insane these dudes are? This is like musical ayahuasca, we just gotta be thankful such an encounter took place and we could witness it.
haha true, i have emotional releases listening to this music comparable to ceremony nights
The absolute epitome of music dude. The level of other worldly talent is absolutely insane!
I have to take year long breaks from this band or else I kind of start to go insane listening to it day and night and talking to everyone about obsessed I am! Favorite band and favorite vocalist of all time, Tool being tied depending on which band I'm more into atm.

This band and song is mind body and soul
Those 13 minutes went by so fast.. The Mars Volta is a master at its craft!
Don't you just love it when you are balls deep in the middle of a music track and just because you went from FullScreen to Small Screen Fucking TH-cam has to throw in a goddamn commercial for you before you can back to the best fucking part of the song.
Thanks Martin Shrek-li
Idk how the audience is so calm. I would be losing my $H!T!!!! Hahaha.
Ikey RIP
Who else sees Dennis Reynolds gyrating in his shimmering glamrock suit whenever the high notes come in?
Dayman! Ah-ah-ahhhhh…
00:30 hating the speed... 11:30 loving it all. 🙏
The sound of chaos. Amazing. All the musicians are amazing but that drummer,,, Pridgen, amazballs.
the theme of this song reminds me Hand of Doom by Black Sabbath
A little bit, but that's music. 1 different note makes a difference.
I knew it! I knew I had heard that goddamn riff somewhere! God damnit. 'never heard a man speak like this man before' as they blast out a modified version of a deep vintage metal cut is still art. But the mystery is FINALLY solved. Thank you. I thought this band had magical powers. I'm glad they dont.
How have I never heard these guys before?? The flippin’ rock!
Can't wait to see this live in 2 days at Red Rocks, CO!
How was it ?
I want this on Blu-Ray...
This is one of my favourite videos of all time
Bring me back!! My most favorite concert ive gone to
Jesus Christ that was fucking awesome!
Love this experiment !!! Grande MARS VOLTA!!!
Oh my god... perfection
that last chorus before 'say it say it loud' is EVIIIL!!!!! and death defying
Squidward just needed to get out of the water to find his true calling with the Volta.
Looove it!!!
These guys are awesome!!
i prefer this version over the album version tbh that little groovy breakdown was fucking amazing
hi
If you see this band live, with Thomas Pridgen's drumming, you'll get more than your money's worth.
The audience is just hilarious...
this video has taken over my life u.u
How could they end up the song so perfectly??
Monster line up
A wild ride!
The lead singer reminds me of the goalkeeper that did the scorpion kick for Columbia ha.
Jajajaja... René Higuita
the drummer reminds me of renato sanches
It's just so damn good GOOOOODDD DAMNNNNN IIIIIIIIIITTTTTT
The more I watch of them live, it seems like Theodore meshes with the entire band as a whole, but Thomas meshes with Omar undoubtedly well
I forgot how fire this performance was.
buying tickets now to see them in seattle this october, finally something to live for lul
Cedric's dancing at 8:30 xD I love it
I feel as though every member of this band kept challenging each other to perform their best in this performance after every solo. It's like taking turns in a gangbang on the audience's ears.
LOL good one
For real lol
Puerto Rico y México en la casa!!!
Bravo!
Thomas Pridgen is a god amongst men
I would give my other liver to go back in time and attend this event.
Once ran 6 miles at 6:30 a mile with this song on repeat. Listen with caution.
Nuff to feel insane. Thought he can' sing this live. Wooooow!!!
When you watch live videos of the band without this drummer, it seems like a cover band or something. He's unreal.
you can really seeand hear omar guitar ability on live yahoo sets.... oh yeah and thomas, but thats not big suprise he was pretty explosive allways
This performance was sick (in a good way). I loved it.
The drummer is the GOAT. He made mars volta popular because of his style is ridiculously insane off the charts.
Earth needs this on 2021.
Have you ever gotten pure joy watching something,
Yeah
INSANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
