My friend and ex-bandmate (Dazzling Killmen) is Mars Volta's new drummer. I'm happy for him.

I did really enjoy that Inertiatic ESP song though, but I've been totally underwhelmed by how poopy all of the related bands are. Secretly I kinda like the Volta in spite of itself. Waffles doused in CRAP.
I take it back somewhat. I like the
De Loused in the Comatorium record in the sense that I'm compelled to listen to it every few months. it scratches some itch.
Not Crap. still lots of waffle.

I say a resounding NOT CRAP, with fewer waffles than kerble. I don't consider myself to have a high tolerance for prog wankery, yet for some reason I let Mars Volta blow it all over my face with nary a tap on the shoulder. I don't know why, but I really like both albums and I listened to De-Loused incessantly when I first got my hands on it.
A befuddled but certain NOT CRAP

P.ork:
Mars Volta Attacked With Urine!
Retaliate with new 18-minute jam "Hexasymbiotic Extracellular Fluid Counteroffensive"
The Mars Volta Holy piss projectiles, kids! According to reports from the Seattle Post-Intelligencer and astute Pitchfork reader and festival attendee Keaton Bell, prog-monsters the Mars Volta were driven from the stage at Saturday's KNDD-sponsored Endfest 15 in Seattle-- by some bloke chucking urine! And, ostensibly, by technical problems, but that's far less exciting and controversial.
The MV were reportedly only 30 minutes into their set at Endfest-- a gig already hurtin' from a Modest Mouse cancellation and a Snow Patrol no-show (detained at the airport by the damn terrorists, they was)-- when a frustrated Omar Rodriguez-Lopez smashed his guitar into his amp and stormed offstage, prompting singer Cedric Bixler-Zavala to say thanks and farewell-- but not before offering money, merch, and friendship to anyone who brought him the "head" of the agitator! Rock'n'fucking roll, dudes!
Here's Bixler-Zavala's departing quote in full: "I will pay $100-1,000 to somebody to find the person that's throwing urine up here. I will give you free merchandise and a lifetime supply [of tickets] to a Mars Volta show. Find that person and kick his ass for me, bring me his head-- and we'll be friends!" As of press time, no heads had been delivered.
But don't take our word for it-- this shit's on YouTube:

I caught TMV in a hockey rink in Vancouver opening for System
Of A Down last fall.. folks, I just don't geddit..
anyways, my observations at the time were something like:
a) those Canucks sure do like to smoke up the weed, eh?
b) when everybody takes a frickin' solo it's ~so~ not cool!
c) three tunes in a 50 minute set? c'mon who's got that
kinda attention span these days??! BAW-RING!!
d) nice Orange stacks, though - I give them credit for that.
e) I think they are the latest thing in "hair" bands.
umm, yeah.
