I can go along with that.

sometimes i just wanna wish away all the labels but i've only the frances the mute stuff...good
the video for widow made me think of chocolate and i freakin love chocolate!!!

Yesss!!!
 

I totally agree. ATDI is amazing. He sings so much better in ATDI. Plus, I'm into the heavierness of ATDI. Mars Volta is too damn Floyd-poserish. BTW: What is this about FLoyd having a reunion? That's lame. They were good once. Anyways, Mars VOlta is good, but not amazing. ATDI is amazing. Sparta is better than Volta as well. But ATDI takes them both with ease.

Mars Volta is the sound of ATDI going beyond the safety zone of cookie cutter structured music. Some people can't handle that.

Thta's ridiculous
 

Oh give me a break. I have all MV's stuff. It's not that I can't "Handle" it. Quit trying to act like you know more than me. You obviously have no clue what you're talking about. I thought this forum might be a way to share musical opinions and get ideas on what music to check out. I've realized now it's just a f ucking war zone of stupid useless arguments. Let people say what they want. I know I haven't since I joined, but now I realize that it's just so stupid. You probably haven't met many, if any of the people you talk to on this forum, so I don't know how you can make judgements like I "can't handle Mars Volta". Jesus.

This from the person who made the now infamous qoute : "Anyone who likes Nirvana is a horrible person"

Hello? Exactly why I said, "I have been making judgements since I joined, but now I realize...". God, why don't you read my text before making your stupid comments?

Ok let me take back this post. I didnt mean it as a personal attack on you (somethingisrunningonempty),and I apologize to you for it and my subsequent post. There are a thousand more appropriate and respectful ways of saying what I was trying to say. What I meant is that Mars Volta ventures into more unkknown and experimental territory and to some that's an improvement and to others its not.

nicely put

Ok, I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or not. If you aren't though, thank you. If you are, well then I don't know. ANyways, I get what you're saying. I used to really be into the experimental scene, but now I'm kinda more into heavier stuff. If you like experimental, please god check out Portishead.

I was being 100% sincere. No sarcasm intended. I have my a$$hole/idiot moments like anyone else on this forum, and the best I can do is recognize it, apologize, and move on.
I love Portishead (as well as most other trip-hop), but they satisfy a much different fix than what TMV does.

Cool
 

Well then, that's settled. Let me ask you, do you like the Sneaker Pimps?

I don't dislike em', but They're not really my thing.

How do I start a thread?
 

I probably sound like an idiot, but does anyone know how I can start a thread?

1) Go to the forum jump thingie in the lower right hand corner of the page
2) click on the forum where you would like to start the thread
3) click "new thread" in the upper lefthand corner of the screen
I think you can handle it from there.

Thanks
 

Thanks

mars volta
 

mars volta are pretty good (but afi are better)

mars volta + rhcp?
 

I was just looking over the liner notes of Mars Volta's album Frances the Mute and noticed something a little strange... John Frusciante and Flea played multiple insturments on like 4 songs on the album. I mean, some of the lead guitar stuff rips, but doesn't this seem a little strange? For some reason, the now-pop chili peppers sound doesn't naturally adapt itself to crazy Latino 'Yes'-sounding Meringue/Metal/Indie music. At least for me. lol. Weird, right? Any other really weird colloborations I should know of to give my mind a whirl? Cheers,
John

The Red Hot Chili Peppers shouldn`t even be allowed on their own albums let alone anyone elses

lol. yeah. since blood sugar they've gone way downhill.

Flea played bass on De-loused in the Comatorium too, they're good friend apparently so they got them to play some stuff rather than hiring some session musicians they didn't know.

Flea is a damn good bassist and the horns sound good as well. I'm not sure why you're complaining

Another Mars Volta Thread
 

Mars Volta. Good band. I think their three biggest influences are Pink Floyd, Rush, and of course At The Drive-In. Does that sound about right?

.......If this is 'another' mars volta thread why didnt you just post in an existing one?

the search wouldnt work. the little word box wouldnt pop-up.

actually i just got it to work and there is no Mars Volta thread.

i think i hear a little Radiohead and Aerosmith do I not? Never Sleep Alone? Rocks?

OH! OHHH!! OH! HEY!! *waves hand around* !!! I HAVE AN IDEA!






Why don't we just lock the thread?

nooooooooooo!!!!!!!!

yeeeeeeeeessssssssss!

I think we should agree with the hot chick on this one.

;]

we certainly could use one. :)

The Mars Volta
 

I do. De-loused in the Comatorium is a great album. Love the vocals, and they bring something different to prog rock.

this is gonna get moved

To where?

myeah.
mars volta is in my top 20 for sure.

i second that question..where would it be moved to?

MV is pretty cool. i like a lot of their older stuff as well. i like how a few of their songs have personaly meaning to the band members.

I do.
