The Mars Volta are GOATS anything off this album is fire
Just let them listen to L'Via already 🤣
Or Cassandra Geminni 32 minute full 8 track suite.
That might break them lol
Pretty comercial, they have much better works
Hope this helps with the madness of this track. From Discogs notes.
On a trip in Jerusalem, Rodriguez-Lopez purchased an archaic ouija-type talking board at a curio shop as a gift for Bixler-Zavala. They would return to their tour bus after shows to play with it during their 2006 tour with the Red Hot Chili Peppers, as it quickly became the band's post-show ritual. Dubbed "The Soothsayer", the board revealed stories, gave names and made demands, as the band was contacted by three different people who appeared in the form of one, who was then referred to as "Goliath". The more the band interacted with "The Soothsayer", otherworldly coincidences began plaguing the band's experience writing and recording The Bedlam in Goliath: Blake Fleming, their drummer at the time, quit mid-tour and left the band with financial troubles; Bixler-Zavala wound up needing surgery performed on his foot due to the shoes he had been wearing, forcing him to relearn how to walk post-surgery; audio tracks sporadically disappeared from the studio's harddrives; Rodriguez-Lopez's home studio flooded and was subject to multiple power outages; and the album's original engineer went through a nervous breakdown, leaving behind all previous work with no notes as to where anything was. The engineer who quit stated to Rodriguez-Lopez: "I'm not going to help you make this record. You're trying to do something very bad with this record, you're trying to make me crazy and you're trying to make people crazy."
Rodriguez-Lopez was on the brink of starting the recording from scratch, but eventually kept on after recruiting Robert Carranza as a replacement engineer, along with assistance from Lars Stalfors and Isaiah Abolin. Midway through the recording sessions, Rodriguez-Lopez broke "The Soothsayer" in half and buried it in an undisclosed location as an attempt to undo the curse and halt the unforeseen tragedies. Rodriguez-Lopez swore never to give away the location of the burial, and also asked the band not to speak of it again during the remainder of the album's production.
Thomas Prigden was the drummer he is absolutely amazing and so talented
Drummer is Thomas Pridgen and those double bass kicks aren't double kicks, it's one pedal. Small kit, big noise.
Love that video 😅🙌🏼
Definitely need to start with Mars Voltas first album to get into them. It's more accessible for lack of better word.
When I first watched this video I was on acid and was so zoned into it that the edges of the screen warped in and my vision became like a fisheye lens
King Crimson is one of the influences for shure!
When they got to this album, I thought it sounded like Santana on acid and crack (in a good way).
Took me a while to realize it but he's dressed as the Elephant Man
We were so happy to see you did this video… But as soon as I saw you watching their actual video, I knew it would be too much of a distraction. At the same time it was great that you enjoyed it so much. That song is a juggernaut. Keep going… There are so many great songs still to hear… They are not all alike either. Keep going…
Roulette Dares is a must listen!
First time hearing this band. Drummer has a great tone! I enjoyed it
Thomas Pridgen as a drummer was chaos and fit well with Bedlam. It is funny though a lot of Volta heads hold him at the bottom. I think Deantoni Parks is my personal favorite of theirs. Watch some of the live stuff with him, dude is straight possessed.
At the Drive-In --> All of “Relationship of Command”. Before TMV there was AtDI
You’ve got to do Wax Simulacra live if you want to see the drummer at his best (or Viscera Eyes for a longer song)
“I’m all outta pulse, but I know you can resuscitate me.”
Yes the car drove through
This band is amazing, although Vysmund Cygnus Vysmund was a bit too much for a first taste.😁You should check out something from the first album, maybe Roulette Dares . Oh and the singer's get-up is a reference to The Elephant man.👍 Awesome band, but definitely an acquired taste.
More mars volta plz. Cheers from Iceland
the elephant man !!! brilliant !!!
These guys are amazing, their lives shows were something else. If you guys enjoy their stuff then check out their Big Day Out '04 performance, absolutely incredible.
The singer is supposed to be dressed like The Elephant Man. He's a huge David Lynch fan..
Thomas Pridgen beast of a drummer
All it takes in most songs is about 30 seconds or so " never heard a man speak like this man before....never heard a man...etc" to get you hooked.
Bro listen all the álbum 👻
THIS IS WHY YOU MUST SEE THEM THEY ARE HILARIOUS😅 THEY DON'T GIVE A FUUUUCK
Haha I like the “Oh I get his video now” moment.
Wow) I didn't expect to see this Fantastic Crazy band on your channel) Not my fav. theme from them, but so cool! Like a breath of fresh air! With Love & Peace from Ukraine)
They had to make a music video for it so they went out to the laneway behind the studio after they’d spent the day recording. That’s why the car 😂
F’n LOVE THE MARS VOLTA
I've seen the video numerous times but never got it until you defined its comic nature
Mars Volta took me a bit to get into but once I did they quickly moved to the front of the pack alongside Tool and Opeth for me.
Try Day of Baphomets for one of my favorite bass intros. Also their new album is fantastic, it's much more melodic with lots of layers without the chaos.
You should give Drunkenship of lanterns or Cicatriz ESP a listen. That entire album is amazing from start to finish and kind of needs to be listened too in one go.
I think you liked it.
He did he just didn't know it at the time 🤣
Left audio channel is the band's guitarist Omar Rodriguez Lopez.
Right channel is John Frusciante.
The two actually bonded over their love for films and music before they even realized what bands they were in lol
The bag on his head is a reference to the David Lynch film, The Elephant Man, at least that’s my take.
The Mars Volta is the Real Shit :)
tetragrammaton next??
oh HELL yeah
Tetragrammaton is a crown jewel, but I think they are a couple of years away from touching that and similar tracks, lol.
@D Music Life
The mic toss back and forth between his hands is hilarious also Omar playing the keyboard stand 🤣🤣🤣 But in all fairness to you guys (which is an inside joke that all TMV fans know) these songs are meant to be listened to in album sequence,yes it is work getting into the music but once you do it's totally worth it! the only radio worthy single day ever produced was "the widow"most fans don't even give the song recognition because it's just basic 😁
One of the mars volta best songs
Drugs are good, Mkay.
live in the chaos. Producer: Omar
They e been through multiple drummers. The guy playing drums on this track is Thomas Pridgen. He’s played on two albums, The Bedlam in Goliath and Octahedron. Maybe try Teflon next? Pridgen is on that and it’s groovy af. Not nearly as chaotic.
I love the video it´s epic! no one is fucking playing the song! ahahahaha
The drummer here is Thomas Pridgen, he replaced Jon Theodore who was on the first 2 albums.
“Will not listen to again.”
Ok, (1.) “The Widow,” is their most radio friendly song and you really should have gotten to that track within the first two songs you listen to. Probably the 2nd song as the 1st song is undoubtedly a song to show you how crazy the band is 🤷🏻♀️ (2.) Check out the band the singer & guitarist were in prior to The Mars Volta, At The Drive-In and their song “One Arm Scissor.”
Those are the introduction tracks to these guys.
Ok, so this was the first time the record label gave Omar (the guitarist and composer) their own money to film a video. obviously no one is actually playing instruments here, this is the album version. Everything in this video was planned by Omar (for better or worse). The song and the album are insane! "Never heard a man speak like this man before, all the days of my life ever since I been born, never heard a man speak like this man before" - Jim Jones/Jonestown Massacre.
Jesus guys... there are more accessible TMV songs you can recommend to ease in first timers. lol
He's dressed like The Elephant Man
Very correct. 👌
Drummer is Thomas Pridgen. He’s brilliant.
Thomas pridgen the drummer is a genius on drums
It was a brilliant band, last two albums not so good but they gave three fantastic albums. Actually guitarist Omar and vocalist Cedric , both of puerto ricane origin, they come from a band called At the Drive In , worth checking. And the bassist , Juan Ardente is from the legendary band called Racer X. Judas Priest drummer Scott Harris is from that band as well as the guitarist of Mf Big Paul Gilbert.
they are a challenge. not in the same way Meshuggah is, but organized chaos. always.
I hope they know its one kick drum...
the band is explosive. And the violinist is their lead guitarist, and cowriter with the hooded singer., and he's the band's musical director. They are not like anything else. I don't think they can be categorized.
If you won't do recharging the void. Please do Forrest of legends
VEKTOR
It's just a gag skit, they not actually playing it😂
You wouldn't listen to this again? I am not sure you explained it in a way I caught in the video, but I get it - my wife is not into them nor are a lot of my friends. I just want to hear your version of why. The hilarity and absurdity of the video was so much fun for me too, lmao.
I always heard a little bit of tribal drums in this.
People sure are throwing you into Mars Volta's deep end. They aren't always insane...
The drummer is pretty much the only one playing the song lmao
This was the band I listened to the most in grad 11 back in the day. But it was the first album I listened to.
You should check out roulette dares for a journey or circatriz esp has a cool opening groove but has a long trippy ambient part in the middle you may find hard to get through
Man try with ouroboros or luciforms, it's more your Style trust me
Cicatriz esp
VEKTOR RECHARGING THE VOID
They won’t do that one unfortunately. I requested it on Patreon and they responded saying they have both heard it before already off camera so they can’t do a proper reaction. It’s a shame too cause that’s been my favorite song for 6 years
Least they can do is let somebody know in the comments section. They can check out something else from vektor.
Volta is a band that you need to digest full albums with. All are concept albums.
Also, the four videos they made for the singles for this album are utter nonsense in the best way.
Goliath was the evil spirit that was talking to the band through an evil Jewish artifact. The spirit was asking g them to do things in return for inspiration the band had lost for a brief period of time. The story of this entire album is crazy dude, and a lot of people attribute it to the bands break up in 2012.
One more thing to add, maybe don’t do the music video next time so you can actually focus on the music being played and not the silly things going on in the video.
lmao if you cant get into goliath then the mars volta is just not for yall
