I saw them at the Electric Factory on Saturday, I wish they were still playing right now. Without a doubt on of the top 5 most talented groups of this era.

I love how long and endless their songs seem to be

I have just now discovered this band!They are so unique and amazing!

I can't begin to express the intensity of this song. It has so much passion and life to it, yet it's mournful, yet totally Dadaist and the lyrics sung in Spanish just make it sound beautiful but since I don't understand a word of Spanish it's totally incomprehensible to my small mind. I feel like a walnut in a Christmas party for squirrels.

a close friend got me listening to these a while ago, and i have to say The Mars Volta are amazing. so diverse. ive not found a single band like them which is fantastic :D

What I most love about this song is how the spanish lyrics are sung over a more american-rock background while the english section is sung over a spanish salsa beat.

I just love the beginning!!! This thing looking at me,opening the mouth and then Cedric sings 'ELVIAAAA'. Damn,definitely love this band.

Best summation of Guitar Hero that I've ever seen.

Whatever genre Mars Volta is, is one of the best genres of all time.

I know you posted this 12 years ago but the genre is probably closest to progressive rock.

i fell in love with The Mars Volta when their first single came out. Theyre awesome!

This song gives me so many emotions, many of much I can't explain. Lust and anger are among the top of them.

the fact that they're singing in spanish makes them even more awesome.

i'm so happy! i thought i had lost my francis the mute CD without putting it on my iPod, but i just found it today!!! woooh!

best video ever..and the song flows perfect...

L'Via L'Viaquez is one of my first favorite songs by The Mars Volta.

I seen Volta in Dublin and it was awesome. perhaps the best show ave been to.

just saw them yesterday in montreal, they kick ass!! awesome show

amazing song..and the video adds the right elements to the song!!insane visuals

thats what makes him so good man, it adds to the appeal

I never really thought much of Mars Volta before, but after hearing this song I'm going on an itunes spree

probably the best rock i've heard in spanish. lover how they mix it up

This song rocks my soul....The Volta are masterful.

i am now upsest with this song, i cant stop listening to it! i love Mars Volta!

amazing!! thumbs up for this

the one spanish song i can sing to in it's entirety! so beautiful.

This song is nice. First time i heard of Mars Volta. Definetly like it

Wow, this is awesome!

Sick man! This is a rather hard one!

yeah I live in the El paso area too. These guys can be seen walking anywhere. My friends and I run into them every now and then. one of their ex bass players made a new band and their kind of cool. just spreading the word.

I luv these guys..you guys are awesom.First time i heard this song was with my cousin and all of a sudden i feel in love with the song..its such a wacked out/cruzy laxin beat u know?well yeah thats me. Kepp doing music like this,its beautiful man. luv it luv it! and luv u guys!! cheeerz!!

This song... this video... so good.

Ha :) Good point. I must have listened to this song about 100 times and I've never thought of that.

this is so awesome!!!!

went to their concert on friday 9-11......good show here in chicago,

I love the fact that they use a juxaposition of music in a way. They sing in English while the music is reministant of old salsa. Yet the rock section which is something considered to be "anglosaxon" is sung in Spanish. That is true artistry. I'm not too sure if the lead singer knows how to speak Spanish all that great though because you can hear the accent when he's singing.

i havent heard of these guys before guitar hero 4 and im glad i did. made the game worth that much more to me. now i have another favourite band to listen to. nothing bad about exposure to people who like music, listening or playing (game or real).

whoa, a good song and a nice, trippy video to go with it!

Thanks for those two recommendations in particular....

esta roola es la pura netaa!! me encanta!!! the mars volta es de lo mejor!!

omg. i absolutely love this song. its sounds so amazing and sensual in spanish.

dude cedric is a beast. singing in two languages?! savage at life.

this is wicked!!!! love tmv

Love Thisss!!

this song makes me wanna go back in time and pay attention in spanish class

man, this is the song that made me start liking TMV!:)

Fantastic!

IT WAS SOOOO AWOSME

AMAZING!

what an amazing band...

I can't believe it took me so long to listen to this band. They're fuckin amazing!!!

You cant compare any band to Mars Volta. The are living legends in music at the time, they have created a sound that has never been heard before, by mixing latin.....jazz.....rock.....and various other stories

Totally. Good input.

i love this song!!!

Thanks heaps

omg love the guitar at the end

mars volta just brings it sooooo hard all the time

Cheers for the quick reply.

the mars volta will undoubtedly change your life if it hasn't already. if you haven't heard the album version of this song check it out, its 12 and a half minutes lolz

Masterpiece. Milestone.

These dudes ROCK!!!!

You need to listen to this song in its entirety (not just the stupid little 4-minute clips) to fully appreciate it. Possibly the best TMV song out there.

Excellent music, I love it. Man, Guitar Hero certainly knows how to pick good songs.

Dude, they should've won major awards by now!

I saw them live at Brixton academy in London, they blew my mind.

I got 2 see them live in Baltimore, there drummer is amazing, and of course cedric is always great!

oh yeah!! They're best video!! TMV!

Agreed. Protest the Hero is "mainstream" now, and they keep getting better and better.

Ha I feel in love with this song so much I picked it out on the Jukebox at the bowling alley, to only find out its actually 12 minutes long and the place was closing down for the night. I didn't get to hear the full song :(

My favorite spanish song ever !

Despite what most people have said in their comments, I think it's great that these guys are on Guitar Hero. Anything that brings their music to a wider fanbase is a good thing to me. They are simply amazing. I've been a die-hard fan since I saw them on their Deloused tour! Just because a band is becoming slightly more "main stream" does not effect their music quality one bit. As long as they stay true to the music and don't start making Pop music they'll always have a place in my heart!

amazing band...

i've been living under a rock for way too long D: i like this song

fantastic

GRACIAS! MUCHACHOS! Boricuas por siempre!

great song !!

impressive, this is new for me! :)

this video is perfect for this song..all trippy..love TMV peace connor shaw

That- that, my friend is the best way to describe it...You know, at least in my world it is...

the best song of mars volta, they are cool !

1st time i saw these guys was at ACL.they're epic!

beautiful song.

ahh man, i gotta widen my music taste, that was awesome

this song is simply genious

all time favorite

Awesome!

such a beautifyl music video

Great musicians !

i'm gonna have to concur with you whole-heartedly on this one

Wow esta banda me ah cambiado mi forma de pensar sobre rock en español. Son increible. Great stuff, love the song.

Agreed. Awesomus Maximus

The Mars Volta are awesome

The piano part from 2:10-2:33 is taken almost directly from the song "Noche", by a group called the Fania All-Stars. They were one of Omar's favorite groups growing up, and Larry Harlow, the pianist for the Fania All-Stars, had a heavy influence on Omar's guitar playing.

These guys are their own genre :)

The eccentric sound of The Mars Volta.

omar and cedric wouldn't want the fans talking like this, they would want you discussing topics, sharing information, being content that we all like the same music, they are more then willing to produce music and short films to show us as fans that we are the creators as well as the audience. i've met the band of the mars volta and they are very humble, happy to retrieve energy from us when playing on stage, mainstream or not the message is for the taking to who need to hear it.

yeahhhhh!!!! buenisimo tema de Mars°

awesome song

It's a list of artists that I can recall over the years who have stated how they are fans of The Mars Volta, whether it was in print, audio, or video format. There is not an article that lists them all at once. It's just one of those things where I run across something and think, "Oh cool, they're fans of The Mars Volta." I'm sure you can come across many of these references if you just google the names.

Simplemente impresionante.
