Hello! I have just discovered Mars Volta very recently, at a RHCP gig in Glasgow, and was pretty much bowled senseless by their energy and style and vibe. I was kind of disappointed by the reception they got from the crowd (but the Scots are notoriously po-faced!). I think that they were too hyped to see Anthony, Flea, John and Chad to spend any time hearing a new sound. It was a bit like, I dunno, waterskiing for the first time - it feels strange and unfamiliar, but once you get a grip of what's going on it's pretty cool! I dashed out to try and buy Tremulant (discontinued on CD in England?!?!), but you fellas can fill me in on whatever I need to know, I'm sure. FIRE AWAY!!! so your obviously a chilli fan - but now you know tmv is it a hard choice to pick which one you prefer?

The Mars Volta's great, check out Ambuletz, if you haven't already. You can get it off SoulSeek or Kazaa, I believe.
If you search the board, I think you can download it straight.

welcome, good to see tmv is reaching open minded people.
if only i could go back and experience them for the first time. i wasnt really bowled over on the first listen, but over time i realized that this is the greatest band ever.
download everything you can, you wont regret it.

Yeah, like Spiderman said, go check out At the Drive-in and Defacto - in At the Drive-in, it's the same singer and guitar player as The Mars Volta (that's Cedric and Omar), in Defacto, Cedric (singer) is doing drums and Omar (guitar) is on bass. The "Big black guy" on keys in The Mars Volta is also on keys in Defacto, and Jeremy (behind the scenes in The Mars Volta) does the singing and effects and melodica and what not in Defacto.
A side note: The rest of the band members from At the Drive-in went to form another Rock n roll band called Sparta - not as "spunky" as The Mars Volta, but still a lot better than some of the shit out there.

I like wakeboarding a lot more than water skiing... wakeboarding is fun. Too bad the water around here is all just a degree above freezing
