i wouldnt mind seeing mars volta live but, hmmm out of them, ATDI and sparta there prob my least fav out of those three.

I dont get the Mars Volta...good music...just dont understand it

agree with you there, the shins are a good acousticish band *we formed an acoustic group to cover some of their stuff*

as for the at the drive in song, one armed scissor, i think it is about herion *what i got told*, all i know is my band played a cover of it at school, and we had a mosh to piss off the teachers on our last day. twas grand.

ehh they never really appealed to me. i listened to a couple songs and wasnt hooked.

I loved At the Drive-In. They were awesome, yes they split up into the mars volta and sparta. I personally think mars volta sucks. Sparta is awesome though ;)

Here's a fun story. I had tickets to see At the Drive-In in Nottingham about five years ago. We had a massive problem getting to the venue, none of us had ever travelled to Nottingham before so we had no idea where to go once we got off the train. The train itself was delayed by an hour, no problem, we'd left ourselves long enough to find the venue and have a drink before they came on anyway.

We got off the train and it was pitch-black, raining hard and there was nobody around who could direct us properly, so we got lost. After forty minutes of walking, we finally arrived at the venue to find the doors locked, and nothing but a piece of paper stapled to the door saying "SHOW CANCELLED".

They split up three days later. Great band. Acted like a pack of bastards.

At the Drive In
 

I love this band. With a passion. It's good stuff that everyone can appreciate.


And I didn't figure like putting this in a category and having people moan in it's the wrong spot. Genre doesn't matter with these guys. They are good for anyone who appreciates MUSIC.

They're very good.
I like them alot.
Well i only have relationship of command.
But i like it.
I need another album by them =/

I'll give you "This station is not operational" if you wanna send me that one jigga.

Word, lemme find it and rip it to this comp.
