They've sold just about 500,000 copies of Amputechture alone. I'm sure more than 10,000 people have heard them.

But I am pretty sure that my mother doesn't know Mars Volta from fucking...I dunno, Master Musicians of Joujouka - and she knows what "Smoke On The Water" is.

See my point?


I see your point. But I wasn't aware that we were talking about epic intros our mothers have heard.

The thread is "Which opening riff is most iconic". Iconic means "Having a conventional formulaic style". Straining to remember what the Mars Volta sounds like (and thanks a fucking lot for that) I'm thinking "no, not iconic at all".
