Has anyone heard of a band called the Mars Volta? I heard of them a few
months back, first through a friend and then I read an article about them
in Guitar One. I heard the song The Widow, and I think it's really good.

aw yes, fabulous band. Saw them live (supporting RHCP on tour) and their
performance was absolutely mesmerizing.
Deloused In The Comatorium and Frances The Mute don't disappoint
either...[go out and buy 'em!!!]

amazing musicians too.
It sounds like chaos, but then you hear something that makes you think and
re-evaluate the way you play.
Well, I do anyway  ____________________

| i heard that all the songs off there new cd are based on a diary that one
of the band members found in a used car he bought. must have been an
intersting diary to inspire an entire cd ____________________

| deloused is a good bit better that the new record in my opinion.great band
though.if you like at the drive in it dosent mean you will like them.the
singers voice has changed a lot and they are less punky now.the drummer is
amazing. ____________________

The Mars Volta are amazing musicians, and I love Frances the Mute, but has
anyone else noticed that they went a little over-board with the sound
effects and strange noises? I mean it great and all and a little bit of
noises is great but, come on you know.

| They are a pretty good band, I have a couple dozen of their songs in my
song files. I also like Infected Mushroom, Spiritualized, The animal
collective, the Dream Syndicate, Moby Grape, Blue cheer, and Hawkwind. All
bands well worth checking out if your into the Mars Volta. ____________________
