Yeah he's definitely rough around the edges when he tries to sing high notes. It's not that he can't hit the high notes, it's just that he doesn't hit them consistently and the distortion effects can exaggerate the sound of missed note. That and he was probably high as fuck.

I saw them perform live at Cains Ballroom in Tulsa, OK. They went for damn near 3 hours and the crowd is livid yelling for an encore. Cedric and Omar look at each other, then look at the drummer. I shit you not Thomas Pridgen hits a solo and ramps it all the way up; we got a 45min encore :)

WOW, consider yourself lucky to have seen a TMV encore. They only did encores in their very early touring days. But the way you described it doesn't sound like a traditional encore where the whole band leaves the stage, waits like 5 min, then comes back. Plus, encores are usually around 10 mins of music, 1-3 songs. Not 45mins like you got. I wonder if those extra 45min were just part of their planned regular setlist? And they were just tunning/preparing for the next 45min? They're known for playing long shows. A lot of their songs are longer than 10mins. And when they play them, they often extend solos, making those songs even longer. Seen them live 5 times, all those shows lasted around 2½ hours (actual playing time) at least. 🤷🏾‍♂️

"Anyone can do that". You're so wrong. Maybe lots of people think they can do it, but finding the right words that will, the words of the late Mark E Smith "put a chill up the spine" is ridiculously difficult. Just from this song alone, the list of great lines is massive. "Eyelids sank muffled in the nerve aura sound" "We summon by candle by book and by bell" "Glossolalia coats my skin Glycerin and turbulence" "The sermon goes mourning" "We'll cover the smell with silver nitrate" "Outside by the drift You read my will of thread and itch" "The kiosk in my temporal lobe is shaped like Rosalyn Carter" "Gas me the hind of your five legged snare Tooth picks the eye but nothing's there" "I'd ask to look but the mask stays on" "I contaminate with insignias" Each of those lines is great for different reasons. A lot of them have no real meaning as far as I can tell, they're just collections of words that sound good together, but you just try writing something like that.

I agree. Thomas is more like Keith Moon (and I love Keith Moon), but Jon is more like Phil Collins or Vinnie Coliuta, in that he can make a ridiculously complex time signature sound simple and danceable.

I hate hate hate the way Thomas Prigeon takes a song like this that's so delicately balanced and smears the Bedlam in Goliath drum approach all over it. Granted Octahedron hadn't come out yet, but that's the record where TP really shows that he's capable of arranging drums that work for the song, which is what everyone misses about how Jon Theodore played these old songs. And what's worse is it's not even his fault, Omar told him to play that way until Octahedron when he decided all the instruments needed to take a more straight forward approach.

+Jerry Rose When I hear people talk about Thomas ruining Mars Volta songs, It makes me wonder. Really. You know when you're listening to Meccamputecture and Bedlam and your brain is jumping around wildly doing back flips and bouncing from the walls? You can thank Thomas in a large part for that. Why would you want someone to hold themselves back in such a way when you would never have had such unique experiences as those album without the members of the band doing what they do best? all of them. shame on you.

As a prog rock snob. This comment is wrong.

The Tetragrammaton refers to the "true" name of God given in Jewish (and then later Christian) scripture. It is named such because the name is represented by 4 Hebrew characters. In English the most common representation is YHWH- from which we get "Yahweh."

Those 4 letters are an abbreviation, not a word. Anyone trying to translate the abbreviation, when nobody knows the long form, is an idiot.

What are you people talking about, Pridgen is 100 accurate this entire show! They obviously told him to play randomness from 12:30 to 14:00 ... They never missed a beat while he was going ape shit.

Well Omar looked pretty angry when he shooked his head during the end of the intro at least.

not in the beginning he's not, the band kept changing time to make it work with the drums

And that drummer! Ahhhhhhhhhhh

This live set Is the only reason I still use yahoo.

I like more how Jon Theodore played this song, in fact I like more how Jon Theodore plays

Pridgen won the Guitar Center Drum-Off at age 9 and at age 10 was the youngest recipient for a Zildjian endorsement in the nearly 400 year history of the company.He was also the recipient of a 4 year scholarship to BerkleeCollege of Music in 1999 at the age of 15; he was the youngest musician to ever receive this scholarship..To make it short-when it comes to drumming,Thomas Pridgen is God

Thank God music like this exists... .

Cedric and Omar where raised in El Paso Tx which is border with Ciudad Juarez not to mention Cedric's dad is a Chicano Studies professor so that's why...
