Wish I could go.

That should be incredible!!The Mars Volta are slammin'!!!

That should be a kick ass show! The MArs Volta's new album is coming out next month, Im sure you'll get treated to a lot of the new material. I'd love to have gotten tix for this tour, but the closest they're coming is Atl, and those are sold out anyway. Enjoy the show. We'll be expecting a full report promptly upon your return.

DUDE..it was AWESOME!!!! TMV killed it,I didn't want them to stop. Then the Peppers came out (my first time seeing them) and they were raw. Everybody played their ass off like always and Cedric was the man. BUT, I'm not feeling Blake though. Anthony is a funny dancer!!!! They were on their A game. Let me know how you liked the show.

How much of the new stuff did TMV do?

The did a lot of new stuff. The only old song I remember them doing was "Roulette Dares (The Haunt Of)" I hope I spelled it right but yeah. Everything else was new. I hope they come closer to you next tour so you can catch them!! Have you seen them before??

nah. if there was an emoticon w/its bottom lip stuck out i'd use it. The closeset I've comt to seeing them was this Amazing concert on AOL or something. It seemed to be the entire show(about an hour and a half) and it was all De-Loused material.It was mind blowing. Walls of noise would morph into these beatiful jams and then back into the songs again. Dont know the drummers name, but dude was KILLIN it!

They are supposed to be headlining their own tour after their run with the Chili Peppers(who i'd like to see also) so maybe next time.

Is the new stuff any good?

unkemptpueblo said:

Hey I'm with you on that sadness though. I've hardly even gone to any shows this year.

I feel ya. now that I think of of it, neither have I. I had a pretty cool wish list, but my sched. never seemed to open up. Damn responsibilities!

Thats when they had Jon Theodore on the drums, he is THE MAN!!!! One of my faves for sure. Yeah, the new stuff is good. This time around the album isn't a concept album. They aren't coming close to me when they do their own show, I wish they were, maybe they'll add my area to their list. RHCP are good live, Flea is the shit!! TMV has a way of making really good organized noise!!!! If you want to hear some new stuff (if you haven't heard any) check out their myspace. www.myspace.com/themarsvolta. Its better to see them when its just them because when they open up for a band, their are a lot of haters doing rude shit when they play.

Yeah, I read on a couple of boards about the crowds at System of a Down shows giving them a rough time when the Volta opened for them. Thats pretty fucked up. THanks for the link. I've heard Viscera Eyes, and that has me hyped for the album.
