Hehhehehe, saw them live.

They sounded like a jumbled incoherent mess of instruments. The people tripping on hallucinagens liked it though.



Some of their album stuff is A-OK though.

sry, I wanted to get my view in. ehheheeeeeeee

I've seen all three versions of this band live.... At The Drive-In, Sparta, and Mars Volta. Mars Volta definitely puts on a trippy show, and Rolling Stone says they put on the best live show going. I wasn't on mushrooms so I was at a disadvantage. I liked their music better when they were At the Drive In.


I hope that donkey doesn't have a heinie troll!

Frusciante is a legend and can kick Omar's playing style any day of the week.

Case in point.

Great vocal range.
Good cover as well.

Great improv.

Well it is all opinion, but I think Frusciante is on a completely different level of muscianship and skill with his music. A more enlightened level.

I will say that the best solo on the latest MV album was JF's. hehehe

He's ok. He's no Mars Volta or Tool, but not bad.

I saw them open for A Perfect Circle. Music, not bad. The show they put on was pretty cool though.

Well, I will disagree.

But there is no real point in arguing this sort of thing because it is simply something that can't be argued.
