i can vouch for that. saw them in toronto at kool haus. played just 4 songs, but 3 hours of jamming. hardly any pauses it was just one continuous flow. it was awesome.


they started off their concert "alright you fuckers" and got right into it, HAHHAA

The Mars Volta are incredible, my favorite songs would have to be...

1. Cassandra Gemini - one word, epic
2. This Apparatus Must Be Unearthed
3. Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore

The first album is about a guy who falls into a coma and each song is one of his dreams in the coma. The last song he wakes up and realizes he is going to Hell and so he kills himself. (Based on a friend of theirs.)


The second album is based on a diary they found in a car of a guy trying to find his birth mother who turns out ot be Frances, a mute. Each song is about one of the people he meets in his search for his mother.

^its called A Manual Dexterity by Omar A. Rodreguiz-Lopez

and Frances the Mute is BASED upon the diary they found. You see their friend was a repo guy and they found the diary in the back of somone's car, which I think is why the cover art has a car on it, because that's where it all started.

But anyway they based the story off the stuff in the diary and what the story in the album is about is a woman who gets an abortion.

Cygnus...Vismond Cygnus - is about the lady becoming depressed.

The Widow - her husband dies from emphazima from smoking. read the lyrics and you will know what Im talking about.

L'Via L'Viaquez - she visits a priest guy and they get in an argument about how she doesn't want to have a baby or something, I can't remember.

Miranda That Ghost Just Isn't Holy Anymore - She gets an abortion and at the end she commits suicide.

Cassandra Gemini - In hell she payes in gruesome ways for her sin. for example section Bis called "Plant a nail in the navel stream" which is about the abortion.

a very good album and many people have been hating on it. Deloused in the Comatorium was definatly much better, but that is a hard album to match. they are both good and I think they just came out with a new album called Scab Wounds. I haven't had a chance to listen to it or examine it yet or anything but Im gonna do it cause Im a huge fan of The Mars Volta.

most of the awsomeness you hear about them live comes from their visual performance. Like they're jumping on drum sets, breaking bottles on shit, and improvising at the same time. On Scab Dates, all you hear is the improvising. Its sick, of course, but it is not comparible to actually going to a concert of theirs.
